Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an acoustic antenna for receiving and / or transmitting submarine waves at medium frequency.
  • Such an antenna is, for example, intended to detect and locate underwater acoustic noise sources.
  • Medium frequencies are frequencies below 12 kHz.
  • the acoustic antennas receiving submarine waves include acoustic sensors that will be called acoustic panels in the following text. These acoustic sensors comprise at least one acoustic sensor enclosed in a coating of flexible material. The assembly thus formed forms an acoustic panel called acoustic panel.
  • An acoustic panel has a generally rectangular shape.
  • the acoustic panels are mounted on a support, for example, on the hull of a submarine.
  • the acoustic panels have a degree of freedom in flexion so as to marry the shape of this shell.
  • the panels are held against the wall by clamping with two flanges reported along the long sides of the acoustic panels.
  • the acoustic panels are sandwiched between the flanges and the hull of the submarine.
  • the ends of the flanges are mounted on rails extending longitudinally in the direction of the width of the panels on either side of the panels.
  • the flanges have a curved shape approximating the curvature of the submarine which allows them to ensure the tightening of the acoustic panels against the hull of the submarine.
  • This clamping solution has a number of disadvantages. Due to manufacturing tolerances of the hull of a submarine but also flanges, it can happen that the tightening of the acoustic panels is not effective. If the curvature of the hull is smaller than expected (larger radius of curvature than expected), or if the curvature of the flanges is greater than expected (radius of curvature less than expected), the acoustic panels are not properly tightened against the hull of the submarine. Knowing moreover that the acoustic panels can deform due to hydrodynamic disturbances, the risk is therefore to see the panels escape their fastening flanges.
  • the acoustic panels tighten the panels too important which leads to premature wear of the panels.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the subject of the invention is an element of an acoustic antenna for receiving and / or transmitting low-frequency underwater waves
  • an acoustic panel formed by at least one acoustic sensor enclosed in a flexible envelope , said acoustic panel being generally rectangular and being mounted against a convex support by means of a mounting device comprising a clamping device comprising at least two flanges whose ends are mounted on said support.
  • the respective flanges comprise at least one link between their two ends, and in that the clamping device comprises means for adjusting the tension of said links between their two respective ends, the flanges being arranged so that the support is curved. between the two respective ends of said links and so as to clamp the panel against the support by means of said links in tension.
  • a single device can be used on a submarine having a variable radius of curvature or on different submarines with different radii of curvature.
  • the clamping device ensures a clamping of the panel against the hull of the submarine even if the latter has irregularities and is not perfectly convex.
  • this clamping device makes it possible to prevent premature wear of the acoustic panels because of the means for adjusting the tension of the links.
  • An antenna according to the invention comprising one or more element (s) according to the invention is therefore inexpensive and withstands hydrodynamic stresses (because the acoustic panels are tight against their support).
  • the antenna according to the invention has good acoustic performance due to the use of links.
  • At least one of said links is in the form of a flexible band.
  • At least one of said links is in the form of a wire rope sheathed by means of a flexible sheath.
  • At least one of said flanges consists of a link.
  • At least one of said links is integral with the panel.
  • the panel is sandwiched between at least one of said links and the support.
  • At least one of said links is at least partially housed in a channel opening on the face of the panel facing the environment outside the support, called the outer face.
  • At least one of said links is flush with the outer face of the panel.
  • the volume of said channel which is not occupied by said at least one of said links is sealed by means of a clogging material so that the surface formed by the clogging material and said at least one of said links is flush with the face. outside of the panel.
  • At least one of said links is at least partially housed in a duct extending over the entire length or over the entire width of said panel.
  • the clamping means comprise at least three flanges.
  • the flanges are arranged to tighten the panel against the support only through said tension links.
  • the invention also relates to an antenna comprising a plurality of elements according to the invention.
  • the invention also relates to a vessel equipped with an antenna according to the invention.
  • the figure 1 schematically represents an acoustic antenna for submarine wave reception 2 according to the invention.
  • This antenna 2 is formed of a succession of acoustic panels 4 applied against a support 3 by means of mounting devices comprising clamping devices not shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the support 3 is, in the example shown on the figure 1 , the wall of a hull of a submarine 1.
  • the panels are here mounted on a side of the submarine.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown an element of the acoustic antenna, said element comprising an acoustic panel 4 and an example of clamping device of this panel 4 against the wall of the hull of the submarine.
  • Acoustic panels 4 are in the form of generally rectangular flexible panels.
  • the panels have the overall shape of a rectangular parallelepiped of thin thickness.
  • thin parallelepiped means a parallelepiped whose thickness is at least three times smaller than the width of the panel (which is itself less than its height). It is considered in the rest of the text that such a panel is generally rectangular.
  • the panels Since the hull of a submarine has a curved shape, the panels have a degree of freedom in bending so as to match the shape of the hull of the submarine.
  • the submarine has a general shape of X-axis cylinder corresponding to the axis of the submarine.
  • the small edges 6 of the panels 4 have been arranged parallel to this axis X.
  • the support 3 is convex between the short sides 6 of the panels 4.
  • the degree of freedom in flexion of the panels 4 is therefore here , a degree of freedom in rotation about an axis parallel to the small edges 6.
  • One variant would be to have the panels on a convex support between its two large edges 5. The panels should then have a degree of freedom in flexion about an axis parallel to these long sides.
  • Acoustic panels are acoustic sensors. They comprise at least one acoustic sensor, for example, a plurality of acoustic sensors.
  • the acoustic sensors are enclosed in a flexible waterproof envelope to protect the acoustic sensors from moisture.
  • the flexible envelope is, for example, a homogeneous structure. It may also be a composite structure comprising an outer casing containing at least one packing material, the sensors being embedded in a packing material. In the case of a composite envelope, the outer envelope serves as a mold for the (or) packing materials it contains.
  • the sensors can be embedded in a packing material in the form of a soft polyurethane.
  • soft polyurethane is meant a polyurethane whose Shore hardness is typically less than 50 A Shores.
  • an outer casing made of neoprene rubber or of neoprene rubber and hard polyurethane, typically of hardness at least equal to 70 shores, may be used, the hard polyurethane serving to seal the tank formed by the outer casing.
  • the clamping device of an acoustic panel comprises two flanges 7 mounted on the support 3. Each flange comprises between its two ends at least one link 8. The flanges provide the interface between the acoustic panel and the rest of the submarine 10 .
  • link 7 is meant a flexible object, that is to say flexible, elongated.
  • This is, for example, metal cables, for example, steel.
  • These cables may advantageously be coated with a flexible sheath, for example rubber. This sheath then prevents the link from deteriorating the panel 4 when they tighten the panel against the support 3.
  • the links can form flexible bands, it is called straps, or have a round section.
  • the use of straps allows to distribute the pressure exerted by the links on the acoustic panel. This ensures a good maintenance of the panel without causing premature wear thereof.
  • links also has acoustic advantages. They deteriorate acoustic performance less than a rigid flange, especially in the case where acoustic sensors arranged in the acoustic panel are sandwiched between a link and the support.
  • the links are made of a material that is optimized with regard to the acoustic performance sought on the panel.
  • a material that is optimized with regard to the acoustic performance sought on the panel.
  • fabric, polypropylene, or polyester straps are used.
  • cables of composite material for example fiberglass or carbon fiber, are used.
  • the links have a maximum width of 5 cm and a maximum thickness of 1 cm. These sections can maintain good acoustic performance even at high frequency especially in the case where acoustic sensors arranged in the acoustic panel are sandwiched between a link and the support. Acoustic performance degradation of the order of 1 dB is allowed.
  • the clamping device further comprises means for adjusting the tension of the links between their two respective ends. These means are able to put the links in longitudinal tension between their respective ends and to adjust this voltage.
  • the flanges 7 are arranged so that the support is curved between the two respective ends of the links and so that the flanges are clamping the panel against the support through the links when the links are in tension.
  • the flanges 7 are constituted by a link.
  • the tightening effect is obtained by exerting a longitudinal tension within the flange, which does not translate into a radial force on the hull of the submarine.
  • the flange 7 under the force of traction at its two ends 8 tends to take the rope, which has the effect of taking sandwiching the panel 4 between the flanges 7 which are here the links and the support 3.
  • the flanges 7 extend continuously from a first edge to the opposite edge of the panel, between which the support is curved. In other words, a convex line connects the two respective ends of the links.
  • the first edge and the second opposite edge are the respective small edges 6 of the panel.
  • the flanges 7 extend continuously over the entire length of the panel. But in a variant, the flanges could extend continuously over the entire width of the panel, for example, in the case where the support is curved between the two large edges of the panel.
  • the flanges 7 When the flanges 7 are tensioned between their respective ends, they come automatically, because of the convexity of the support between their respective two ends, to clamp against the panel 4 which ensures the maintenance of the panel 4 against the support 3. Indeed, by exerting a longitudinal tension within the flange which results in a tensile force tangential to the hull of the submarine at each end of the flange, the flange tends to take the rope to come tighten the panel against the support.
  • the flanges 7 are arranged near the two respective long sides 5 of the panel 4. They extend along these long sides.
  • the clamping means comprise more than two flanges 7. It is possible, for example, to have an additional flange 7 in the central part of the panel 4, for example but without limitation, along the long sides 5.
  • the increase in the size of the panels responds to the need to have in the same envelope more elemental hydrophones, which also allows to significantly reduce the cost of the antenna, the latter being directly related to the number of objects ( of panels) installed on the submarine.
  • Panels having a height of between 1 m and 2 m are preferably used.
  • panels having a width of between 40 cm and 60 cm are preferably used. In the case where the panels are fixed by means of more than two flanges, panels having a width of between 60 cm and 150 cm are preferably used.
  • the means for adjusting the tension of the links between their two ends comprise threaded ends 8 integral with the respective ends of the flanges 7.
  • the threaded ends 8 each cooperate with a nut 9 abutting against stop pieces 10 so as to maintain the ends of the flanges 7 relative to the support 3 and put them in tension between their two ends.
  • the stop pieces are rails (or pads) 10 arranged on either side of the panel 4 and being contiguous to the respective small edges 6 of the panel 4.
  • the rails 10 are integral with the hull of the submarine and extend longitudinally parallel to the axis of the submarine. These rails also have a wedging function of the panel 4. Indeed, the small edges 6 of the panels are abutting on the faces of these rails which are adjacent to the short sides of the panels.
  • the rails 10 have opposite faces 11 to the small edges 6 of the panels which are generally perpendicular to the wall of the submarine.
  • the threaded ends 8 penetrate into conduits 14 formed in these rails 10 and the nuts 9 abut against the faces of the rails opposite the small edges 6 of the panels.
  • the means for adjusting the tension of the links 7 are also means for holding the ends of the fixed flanges relative to the support 3, c that is to say means for mounting these ends on the support 3.
  • each flange put in tension comes automatically stick against the acoustic panel and thus ensures the tightness of the acoustic panel against the hull of the submarine.
  • the threaded rods 8 have a predetermined length. This length makes it possible to adjust the length of the links 7 between their two ends, which has the effect of ensuring the tensioning of the links 7 even when the hull of the submarine has different radii of curvature. Moreover, this characteristic makes it possible to adjust the pressure exerted by the links 7 on the panel 4.
  • a single device can be used on a submarine having a variable radius of curvature or on different submarines with different radii of curvature.
  • the clamping device ensures a clamping of the panel against the hull of the submarine even if the latter has irregularities and is not perfectly convex.
