    [0001] The present invention relates to the field of water pollution control, and relates more particularly to a device for collecting floating waste.
    [0002] We know, for example from patent US3823828 A, a device for collecting floating waste in solid form or hydrocarbons consisting of a boat comprising a turbine making it possible both to propel the device and to create a flow of water through a collection space. However, such devices prove to be unwieldy and do not allow a grid scan of an area to be cleared.
    [0003] There is therefore a need for a floating waste collection device with great maneuverability, simple construction while remaining versatile, and which can move and adapt its route independently.
    [0004] The Applicant therefore proposes to meet these needs with a collection device equipped with two turbines. The two turbines provide both forward propulsion and waste suction, one of the two turbines being capable of reversing its direction of rotation and being coupled to a movable flap of a deflector so as to also allow rearward propulsion of the device. Furthermore, the collection device comprises control means and optionally remote communication means so that it is configured to operate either remotely or autonomously, following a predefined program, while being able to adapt its route according to the situations detected, such as obstacles or types of pollution encountered.
    [0005] The present invention therefore relates to a device for collecting floating waste on the surface of the water comprising a floating frame equipped with flotation means and having a collection opening formed at least in part under the waterline of the frame, the opening opening onto a waste inlet area formed in the floating frame, said waste inlet area being equipped with waste storage means inside the floating frame, the storage means being configured to allow a passage of water towards an outlet of the floating frame but retaining the floating waste, characterized in that the floating waste collection device further comprises a first turbine and a second turbine, mounted on the floating frame under the line of flotation downstream of the outlet of the floating frame to draw water from the collection opening towards the outlet to cause a corresponding displacement of the floating frame, u a third turbine mounted perpendicular to the first and second turbines to allow movement of the floating frame in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the fluid in the floating frame caused by the first and second turbines, and a movable flap associated with the second turbine, the shutter being mounted between the outlet and the second turbine such that in a first direction of rotation of the second turbine, the shutter is in a first position allowing water to pass from the outlet to the second turbine and in a second direction of rotation of the second turbine, the shutter is in a second position preventing a passage of water between the outlet and the second turbine and allowing a passage of water from the second turbine towards an opening in the floating frame uncovered by the second position of the shutter, the collection device being further equipped with supply means and control means for controlling at least one of the collection opening, the movement of the collection device, the first, second and third.
    [0006] Such a configuration with two turbines, one of which is associated with a movable flap of a deflector, leads to great maneuverability of the device and makes it possible to pass from forward operation with flap in the first position (where the first turbine and the second turbine, or the first turbine alone, operate in the same direction, in a reverse mode with flap in the second position (where the second turbine reverses its direction of rotation), for example to change direction or easily disengage. Thus the device can operate in congested areas such as ports or complex scanning area.
    [0007] Furthermore, the collection device can be configured to operate autonomously.
    [0008] The third turbine is arranged perpendicular to the first and second turbines so as to function as a bow thruster. Such a turbine, well known to those skilled in the art, allows movements in rotation.
    [0009] The power supply means can be a battery, rechargeable by cable or by means of photovoltaic panels arranged on the upper face of the floating frame.
    [0010] Furthermore, by chassis is meant any hollow structure, or partially, such as comprising an assembly of beams, or not such as a box with solid walls.
    [0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the waste storage means comprise a removable net.
    [0012] Such a net, accessible via a movable cover, makes it possible to empty the device for collecting the collected waste.
    [0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the waste storage means comprise filtration means.
    [0014] Such filters are particularly suitable for cleaning areas polluted by hydrocarbons, present in the form of surface slicks, or by cyanobacteria for example.
    [0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises measuring means, connected to the control means, and configured to measure at least one property of the water.
    [0016] Such measurement means make it possible to collect data on the environment in which the collection device moves. They also make it possible, for example, to detect the presence of hydrocarbons so as to adapt the operation of the collection device to carry out specific depollution.
    [0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises a movable plate so as to vary the dimension of the collection opening.
    [0018] Such an arrangement makes it possible to reduce the collection opening so as to accelerate the flow of water drawn in.
    [0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the collection device further comprises arms extending from the collection opening outwards and configured to guide floating waste towards the collection opening.
    [0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises positioning means.
    [0021] Such positioning means, such as satellite positioning systems of the GPS, Galileo, GLONASS type, allow the collection device to locate itself in the area where it must intervene and therefore to adapt its route according to the GPS data.
    [0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises ultrasonic distance sensors.
    [0023] The collection device can also be equipped with other sensors, for example one or more of infrared sensors, cameras, and software means for processing the data from the sensors in real time and adapting its route accordingly, for example in the event of detection of an obstacle to be circumvented.
    [0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the collection device is equipped with remote communication means to be controlled remotely.
    [0025] The collection device can thus operate in a radio-controlled manner.
    [0026] To better illustrate the object of the present invention, a description will be given below, by way of indication and not of limitation, of several embodiments with reference to the appended drawings.
    [0027] In these drawings:

    [0029] is a side view of the device of Figure 1;

    [0031] is a longitudinal sectional view along line AA of the device of Figure 2;
    [0032] is a cross-sectional view along the line BB of the device of Figure 3 according to a first state;
    [0033] is a cross-sectional view along the line BB of the device of Figure 3 according to a second state.
    [0034] In Figure 1, it can be seen that there is shown a floating waste collection device 1 according to the present invention. Floating waste means solid waste and liquid waste such as hydrocarbons. According to the present invention, waste and pollutants are synonymous.
    [0035] The collection device 1 is configured to float on the surface of a body of water such as the sea or a lake, or even a river. The collection device 1 comprises a floating frame 2. The floating frame 2 is of substantially parallelepipedal shape and comprises two longitudinal edges 3, two side edges 4 which define a front wall 5 and a rear wall 6. By front, the side directed towards the direction of advancement of the device 1 for collecting floating waste and from behind, the side opposite it. The direction of advance of the device 1 for the collection of floating waste is subsequently called forward and the opposite direction, reverse.
    [0036] The floating frame 2 also comprises an upper part 7 and a lower part 8.
    [0037] The floating frame 2 is equipped with floats 9, each arranged along the longitudinal edges 3.
    [0038] In a manner known to those skilled in the art, the floats 9 are configured to maintain the collection device 1 at the surface of the water, with a submerged part, i.e. below its waterline L, and an emerged part , or above its waterline L, as seen in Figures 2-3 and 5-6. Preferably, the floats 9 are filled with an expanding foam so as to make the collection device 1 unsinkable.
    [0039] As can be seen in Figure 1, the upper part 7 is equipped with a pivoting cover 10. The cover 10 is configured to open/close the frame 2 so as to be able to access/isolate the interior space 11 of the floating frame 2.
    [0040] At the level of the lower part 8, the floating frame 2 is extended by a casing 12 disposed between the floats 9 and disposed entirely below the waterline L. The casing 12 is of substantially parallelepipedal shape and comprises a front wall 13 , a rear wall 14, longitudinal walls 15, an upper part 16 in communication with the interior space 11 of the floating frame 2 and a bottom 17.
    [0041] The collection device 1 thus has, going from the cover 10 to the bottom 17 of the casing 12, a hollow space, comprising the interior space 11 of the floating frame 2, located above the waterline L, and the internal space 18 of the housing 12, with a part located above the waterline L and a part located below the waterline L.
    [0042] The collection device 1 also comprises supply means 19. The supply means 19 comprise photovoltaic panels 20 arranged on the external face 21 of the cover 10 and an associated regulator 22 well known to those skilled in the art arranged on the internal face 23 of the cover 10. Furthermore, the supply means 19 comprise rechargeable batteries 24 for storing the energy collected by the photovoltaic panels 20. Advantageously, the batteries are arranged inside the floats 9 The batteries 24 can be rechargeable by cable.
    [0043] The collection device 1 comprises control means 25 configured to control the collection device 1 and connected to the power supply means 19. In known manner, the control means 25 comprise an electronic card equipped with a data processing means type processor, microprocessor, microcontroller, digital data processing device, programmable gate array (FPGA), application-specific component (ASIC), associated with or integrating a memory of the read only memory (ROM) or random access (RAM) type (not represented). Advantageously, the control means 25 are arranged on the internal face 23 of the cover 10.
    [0044] It is understood that the positioning of the regulator 22 and the control means 25 is given as an indication and that they can be arranged elsewhere in the collection device 1 without departing from the scope of the present invention.
    [0045] The control means 25 further comprise remote communication means (not shown) and positioning means, such as for example GPS, Galileo, GLONASS. Such positioning means must allow the device 1 to locate itself and to adapt its path. Such remote communication means are configured to deliver information from the collection device 1 to the outside or to load information from the outside into the memory, such as for example a map and a route. Furthermore, the remote communication means can make it possible to remotely control the collection device 1.
    [0046] Thus, the collection device 1 is configured to operate, via the control means 25, either autonomously on the basis of a preprogrammed route, or remotely controlled by a remote operator, for example by means of a radio-controlled device connected to the control means 25.
    [0047] The collection device 1 can also comprise sensors (infrared, ultrasound, CCD type image sensors or the like) associated with real-time processing means and optionally with GPS type positioning tools or the like, to analyze its environment. in real time and adapt its route, for example in the event of identification, via the sensors, of obstacles in the route of the collection device 1.
    [0048] The collection device 1 comprises collection means 26. As can be seen in Figure 4, the collection means 26 are equipped with arms 27 extending from the front wall 5 of the floating frame 2 outwards. Preferably, the arms 27 are each constituted by a vertical plate 27. The plates are arranged at the level of the waterline L and oriented with respect to each other so as to form a funnel towards the opening of collection formed at the front of the floating frame 2. Such an orientation facilitates the collection of waste, in particular solid waste, which during operation of the collection device 1 in forward motion is caused to converge towards the floating frame 2. advantageously, the arms 27 are pivotally connected to the front wall 5 of the floating frame 2, for example by means of an adjustable hinge 28 so as to adjust the orientation of the arms 27 relative to each other. Such an adjustment can be controlled by the control means 25.
    [0049] The floating frame 2 comprises at the level of the front wall 5 an admission zone 29. The admission zone 29 is configured to introduce the floating waste collected into the collection device 1.
    [0050] The admission zone 29 comprises a collection opening 30 of substantially rectangular shape made in the front wall 5 of the floating frame 2 and configured so as to cause the internal space 18 of the floating frame 2 to communicate with the outside at the level of the waterline L. The opening 30 also has an upper edge 31 located above the waterline L and a lower edge 32 located below the waterline L.
    [0051] As can be seen in Figure 4, the arms 27 are connected to the floating frame 2 at the side edges 33 of the opening 30 so that the waste collected by the arms 27 converges towards the opening 30 so as to be introduced into the internal space 18 of the floating frame 2. Such a configuration allows the arms 27 to guide the floating waste towards the admission zone 29.
    [0052] The admission zone 29 also includes a movable plate 34 arranged inside the floating frame 2 along the front wall 5. The movable plate 34 has a width at least equal to that of the opening 30. The movable plate 34 is configured to rise or fall so as to bring the upper edge 35 of the movable plate 34 above the lower edge 32 of the opening 30 to partially close the lower part of the opening 30. Thus, the difference between the upper edge 35 and the waterline L can be reduced. As explained later, the water flow sucked in can be accelerated.
    [0053] According to a preferred embodiment, the width of the opening 30 is between 7 and 12 cm.
    [0054] Collection means 26 also includes solid waste storage means 36. In the embodiment shown in Figures 5-6, a net 36 is employed. The net 36 is in the internal space 18 of the housing 12. The net 36 is removably fixed to the floating frame 2 by means of removable fixing means 37, for example press studs, zipper, buckle bands and hooks. It should be noted that all types of removable fastening means 37 known to those skilled in the art may be used. The net 36 comprises an opening 38 arranged in correspondence and connected to the opening 30 of the floating frame 2. Thus, the waste collected passing through the opening 30 is led into the net 36 and the solid waste is retained by the meshes 39 of the net 36. A person skilled in the art will be able to determine the appropriate mesh. In addition, advantageously, the net 36 is ballasted by a weight (not shown).
    [0055] It should be noted that other appropriate means can be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the present invention, such as a locker having a main opening like the opening 38 and secondary openings similar to the mesh 39 of the net 36, as long as they allow the entry of water and waste collected through the opening 30 of the floating frame 2 and retain solid waste while allowing water and liquid waste to pass.
    [0056] According to the embodiment represented in Figures 5-6, the collection means 26 comprise liquid waste storage means 40 comprising filtration means 40. The filtration means are configured to filter the collected water and retain and/or treat liquid waste such as hydrocarbons. In addition, the filtration means may be configured for the treatment of cyanobacteria. To do this, the filtration means 40 comprise a housing 41 capable of receiving at least one filter 42. The housing comprises an inlet 43 arranged on the inside of the floating frame 2 and an outlet 44. The filtration means 40 are arranged downstream of the fillet 36.
    [0057] The collection device 1 comprises propulsion means 45. In known manner, the propulsion means 45 are configured to move the collection device 1.
    [0058] The propulsion means 45 comprise a first turbine 46. The first turbine 46 is received in a substantially cylindrical housing 47 having an inlet 48 and an outlet 49. As can be seen in Figures 5-6, the inlet is disposed on the side inside frame 2. In this embodiment, inlet 48 of housing 47 of first turbine 46 is connected to outlet 44 of housing 41 of filtration means 40.
    [0059] As can be seen in Figure 1, the outlet 49 of the housing 47 of the first turbine 46 is connected to an orifice 50 made in the rear wall 14 of the housing 12.
    [0060] In a forward mode, the first turbine 46 draws in the water contained in the internal space 18 of the floating frame 2, which has entered there under the effect of the suction, via the opening 30 of the front wall 5. The water expelled through the orifice 50 leads to the propulsion of the collection device 1 forwards.
    [0061] In addition, due to the positioning of the net 36 and the filtration means 40 between the intake zone 29 and the first turbine 46, the waste sucked up with the flow of water is trapped therein. The first turbine 46 therefore has a dual function of propulsion and suction of waste.
    [0062] Furthermore, the flow of water drawn in can be accelerated by raising the movable plate 34 so as to reduce the distance between the surface of the water and the upper edge 35 of the movable plate 34. Preferably, the distance between the line flotation L and the lower limit 32, 35 of the opening 30 is between 2 and 10 cm, particularly preferably 5 cm.
    [0063] The first turbine 46 always operates in the same direction of rotation so as to suck in water continuously. Due to the positioning of the filtration means 40 upstream of the first turbine 46, the water sucked in by the first turbine 46 filters liquid pollutants such as hydrocarbons.
    [0064] The propulsion means 45 also includes a second turbine 51. The second turbine 51 is received in a substantially cylindrical housing 52 having a first orifice 53 and a second orifice 54. As can be seen in Figures 5-6, the first orifice 53 is arranged on the inside of the frame 2. As can be seen in Figure 1, the second orifice 54 of the housing 52 of the second turbine 51 is connected to an orifice 55 formed in the rear wall 14 of the housing 12.
    [0065] The first 46 and second 51 turbines are arranged parallel to each other, horizontal and are contained in a longitudinal median plane of the collection device 1 so as to move the collection device 1 rectilinearly. The first 46 and second 51 turbines are arranged at the rear of the frame 2, the first turbine 46 above the second turbine 51.
    [0066] Upstream of the second turbine 51 is arranged a deflector 56. The deflector 56 is in the form of a λ-shaped duct with a cylindrical primary duct 57 with a first orifice 58 and a second orifice 59. As can be seen see Figures 5-6, the first orifice 58 of the primary duct 57 is arranged on the inside of the frame 2 and the second orifice 59 of the primary duct 57 is connected to the first orifice 53 of the second turbine 51.
    [0067] Deflector 56 also includes a cylindrical secondary duct 60 having a first orifice 61 and a second orifice 62. As seen in Figures 5-6, the first orifice 61 of the secondary duct 60 is connected to an orifice 63 in the bottom 17 of housing 12. The second orifice 62 of the secondary duct 60 is connected at the level of an intermediate zone of the secondary duct so as to communicate the primary duct 57 and the secondary duct 60. The secondary duct 60 is arranged inclined with respect to to the primary duct 57, oriented from the primary duct 57 forwards and towards the bottom 17 of the casing 12. Preferably, the primary duct 57 is arranged horizontally, parallel to the bottom 17 of the casing 12. The primary duct 57 and the duct secondary 60 have the same diameter.
    [0068] The deflector 56 further comprises a movable flap 64. The flap 64 is pivotally connected, for example via a hinge 65 to the primary duct 57, at the junction between the primary duct 57 and the secondary duct 60 furthest towards the first orifice 58 of the primary duct 57, ie furthest from the second turbine 51. The flap 64 comprises, starting from the primary duct 57, a first segment 66, a second segment 67 and a third segment 68 in succession. The first segment 66 is dimensioned so as to completely and hermetically close the second orifice 62 of the secondary duct 60. The second segment 67 is inclined with respect to the first segment 66 towards the second turbine 51. And the third segment 68 is substantially parallel to the first segment 66 and extends from the top of the second segment always in the direction of the second turbine 51 such that a flow of fluid coming from the second turbine 51 will come into contact with the second 67 and third 68 segments to lift the flap 64 so that it closes the primary duct 57.
    [0069] The flap 64 can be made of stainless steel, preferably aluminum.
    [0070] The flap 64 is configured so as to be able to pivot between a first lowered position and a second raised position. In the first position, the first segment 66 completely closes the second orifice 62 of the secondary duct 60 and the second 67 and third 68 segments leave the main duct 57 free over two thirds of its diameter, as can be seen in Figure 5 In the second position, the third segment 68 is in contact with the primary duct 57 and thus the flap 64 completely closes off the first orifice 58 of the primary duct 57, the second orifice 62 of the secondary duct 60 being completely open.
    [0071] In the forward mode, the second turbine 51 operates in the same direction as the first turbine 57 and sucks the water contained in the internal space 18 of the housing 12, through the net 36. The flap 64 being in the lowered position , the water is led from the first orifice 58 of the main duct 57, into the main duct 57 and into the housing 52 of the second turbine 51 to be discharged through the second orifice 54 of the housing 52 of the second turbine 51 and the orifice 55 of the housing 12. According to an embodiment not shown, filtration means are arranged upstream of the deflector 56.
    [0072] Moreover, in the forward mode, it is conceivable that only the first turbine 46 operates, thus ensuring by itself on the one hand the propulsion of the collection device 1 forwards and, on the other hand, the collection and storage of solid waste and collection and filtration of liquid waste.
    [0073] In the reverse mode, the second turbine 51 operates in the opposite direction and draws water through the orifice 55 of the housing 12. The water passes through the second orifice 54 of the housing 52 of the second turbine 51 , the housing 52 of the second turbine 51 and the first orifice 53 of the housing 52 of the second turbine 51. The propelled water exerts pressure on the second 67 and third 68 segments of the shutter 64 so as to lift it and position it in closing of the first orifice 58 of the primary duct 57. The force exerted by the propelled water maintains the flap 64 in this position. The water is thus led into the secondary duct 60 and is evacuated through the first orifice 61 of the secondary duct 60 and the orifice 63 of the bottom 17 of the housing 12. Due to the inclination of the secondary duct 60 with respect to the bottom 17 from the housing 12, the water is propelled downwards and forwards so as to propel the collection device 1 backwards.
    [0074] In the reverse mode, the first turbine 51 operates at minimum speed so as on the one hand not to oppose the rearward propulsion and on the other hand to maintain suction of the collected waste to avoid their release by the opening 30. It is also possible to stop the first turbine 46 for the reverse mode. In general, it suffices for the speed of the second turbine 51 to be greater than that of the first turbine 46.
    [0075] In the reverse mode, the propulsion of the collection device 1 is ensured by the second turbine 51.
    [0076] The first 46 and second 51 turbines are controlled by the control means 25.
    [0077] The propulsion means 45 also comprise a third turbine 69. The third turbine 69 is arranged perpendicular to the first 46 and second 51 turbines and is arranged at the level of the front of the housing 12. The third turbine 69 is received in a housing 70 substantially cylindrical, insulated vis-à-vis the interior of the housing 12, and having two orifices 71, each provided in the longitudinal walls 15 of the housing 12, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 5-6. The third turbine 69 is configured to operate in two directions of rotation and, alone or in combination with the first 46 and second 51 turbines, to rotate the collection device 1. The third turbine 69 operates as a bow thruster.
    [0078] The collection device 1 is equipped with measuring means 72. As can be seen in Figure 1, the measuring means comprise a cylindrical casing 73 disposed at the rear of the collection device 1. As can be seen in the Figures 5-6, the housing 73 is partially submerged below the waterline L. The housing 73 is configured to receive within it a plurality of measurement probes 74. These measurement probes 74 well known to those skilled in the art are chosen from, but not limited to, probes for measuring conductivity, pH, redox, chlorophyll α, hydrocarbons. Other types of measurement probes may be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. Preferably, the housing 70 is sized to receive six measurement probes 74.
    [0079] According to another embodiment, not shown, the measuring means 72 are arranged at the level of the floats 9.
    [0080] The measurement probes are in contact with the water via openings 75 made in the wall of the housing 73. In addition, the probes are connected to the control means 25 so as to analyze various properties of the water such as water quality and the presence of certain pollutants such as hydrocarbons. Measurement probes 74 may also include depth measurement sensors.
    [0081] According to one embodiment, not shown, the collection device 1 comprises distance sensors, for example ultrasonic. Advantageously, the collection device 1 comprises eight sensors distributed according to three sensors at the front and at the rear and two on the sides.
    [0082] The distance sensors are connected to the control means 25 so as to control the movement of the collection device 1 according to the obstacles detected by the distance sensors.
    [0083] Advantageously, the collecting device 1 moves at a speed of 2.5 to 3 knots.
    [0084] According to a preferred embodiment, the dimensions of the collection device 1 are 1600*90 mm and the draft is 250 mm.
    [0085] As a variant, the collection device 1 can be sized for small areas such as ports and congested aquatic areas, large areas or even coastal and offshore areas.
    [0086] We will now indicate an operating cycle by way of example only. Other operating cycles may be considered by those skilled in the art depending on the circumstances, in particular depending on the configuration of the operating zone or the nature of the waste to be collected. The collection device 1 functions in forward motion, with the first 46 and second 51 turbines operating in the same direction of rotation. According to an algorithm pre-programmed in the memory, the collection device moves over the surface of the area to be scanned, then moves over the entire surface by parallel back and forth movements. In this step, the distance sensors indicate a material boundary, for example a jetty in a port. The collection device turns around and shifts thanks to the second 51 and third 69 turbines. Once the entire predefined surface has been scanned, the collection device performs a final pass over the periphery. This can also be ordered according to a clock, for example every 30 min or every hour. It is understood that the limits of the area to be scanned can be pre-programmed in the memory, and that the collection device can be relieved of its waste either during its course, or it can interrupt its course to be emptied of its waste. by going to a predefined position.
    [0087] Advantageously, when the measuring probes 74 detect the presence of hydrocarbons, the control means 25 control the operation of the first turbine 46 alone for sweeping, and activate the second turbine 51 only to operate the collection device 1.
    [0088] According to a preferred embodiment, the route is pre-programmed into the memory and the microprocessor controls the operation of the turbines accordingly.
