Description

Engin sous marin du type comportant un logement de réception de moyens formant balise largable  A submarine engine of the type comprising a means receiving housing forming a releasable beacon
La présente invention concerne un engin sous marin tel qu'un sous marin proprement dit, du type comportant un logement de réception de moyens formant balise largable par éjection à travers une extrémité du logement. The present invention relates to an underwater vehicle such as a submarine itself, of the type comprising a housing for receiving beacon means releasable by ejection through one end of the housing.
Il existe déjà dans l'état de la technique des engins sous marins qui comportent de tels logements qui sont destinés à recevoir des moyens formant balise largable qui se présentent par exemple également sous la forme de dispositifs de contre mesure ou encore de leurre, etc....  Already in the state of the art, submarine machines that include such housing that are intended to receive means releasable tag that are for example also in the form of countermeasure devices or decoy, etc. ...
D'une façon générale de tels moyens sont par exemple utilisés dans le cadre de la défense et de la protection des sous marins proprement dits contre des armes sous marines telles que par exemple des torpilles.  In general, such means are used for example in the defense and protection of submarines themselves against submarine weapons such as torpedoes.
Bien entendu d'autres applications peuvent être envisagées.  Of course other applications can be considered.
Ces balises peuvent par exemple être des balises acoustiques ou autres.  These tags may for example be acoustic tags or others.
Dans l'état de la technique, ces moyens formant balise largable sont donc reçus dans un logement de l'engin sous marin et l'extrémité correspondante de ce logement à travers laquelle est éjectée cette balise, est soit ouverte soit obturée par un couvercle fixé sur le reste de l'engin sous marin par des moyens frangibles.  In the state of the art, these means forming dropable beacon are received in a housing of the underwater vehicle and the corresponding end of the housing through which is ejected this tag, is either open or closed by a fixed cover on the rest of the underwater craft by frangible means.
Dans le premier cas décrit, lorsque l'extrémité correspondante du logement est ouverte, on conçoit que les moyens formant balise sont en contact direct et permanent avec l'environnement de l'engin.  In the first case described, when the corresponding end of the housing is open, it is conceivable that the beacon means are in direct and permanent contact with the environment of the machine.
Dans le cas où cette ouverture est obturée par un couvercle, lors du lancement des moyens formant balise, ce couvercle est également largué.  In the case where this opening is closed by a cover, during the launch of the beacon means, this cover is also released.
Or, il a été constaté que dans cette situation, ce couvercle a tendance à suivre au moins en partie la trajectoire des moyens formant balise en perturbant leur fonctionnement.  However, it has been found that in this situation, this cover tends to follow at least in part the trajectory of the beacon means by disrupting their operation.
Ceci peut alors avoir des conséquences négatives sur la sécurité et la défense de l'engin sous marin.  This can then have negative consequences for the safety and defense of the underwater vehicle.
Le but de l'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes.  The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un engin sous marin du type comportant au moins un logement de réception de moyens formant balise largable par éjection à travers une extrémité de ce logement, caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité de ce logement est obturée par un couvercle en forme de chapeau relié au reste des moyens formant balise et fixé sur le reste de l'engin sous marin par des moyens frangibles lors du largage des moyens formant balise. Suivant d'autres caractéristiques de l'engin selon l'invention, prises seules ou en combinaison : For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an underwater vehicle of the type comprising at least one housing for receiving means for releasable beacons by ejection through one end of this housing, characterized in that the end of this housing is closed. by a hat-shaped cover connected to the rest of the beacon means and fixed on the rest of the underwater vehicle by frangible means during the release of the means forming a beacon. According to other characteristics of the machine according to the invention, taken alone or in combination:
le couvercle et le reste des moyens formant balise sont réalisés d'une seule pièce, et  the cover and the rest of the means forming a beacon are made in one piece, and
- des moyens de fixation frangibles du couvercle sur le reste de l'engin sous marin comportent des vis cassables.  - Frangible fastening means of the cover on the rest of the underwater vehicle comprise breakable screws.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :  The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue d'extrémité d'un couvercle en forme de chapeau d'un logement de réception de moyens formant balise largable utilisés dans un engin sous marin selon l'invention, et  FIG. 1 represents an end view of a cap in the form of a cap of a housing for receiving means for releasable beacons used in an underwater vehicle according to the invention, and
- la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe prise selon la ligne II -Il de la figure 1 . On a en effet illustré sur ces figures 1 et 2 de façon générale, un engin sous marin qui comporte au moins un logement de réception de moyens formant balise largable par éjection à travers une extrémité de ce logement.  FIG. 2 represents a sectional view taken along line II - II of FIG. 1. It has indeed illustrated in these Figures 1 and 2 in general, a submarine device which comprises at least one housing for receiving means releasable beacon ejection through one end of this housing.
Une telle balise est par exemple une balise acoustique, un système de contre mesure, de leurre ou tout autre moyen destiné à assurer la protection et la défense de l'engin sous marin par exemple.  Such a beacon is for example an acoustic beacon, a system of countermeasure, lure or any other means for ensuring the protection and defense of the underwater vehicle for example.
Sur ces figures, le logement de réception de la balise est désigné par la référence générale 1 et se présente par exemple sous une forme cylindrique.  In these figures, the receiving housing of the beacon is designated by the general reference 1 and is for example in a cylindrical form.
Ce logement 1 est donc destiné à recevoir des moyens formant balise largable désignés par la référence générale 2 plus particulièrement sur la figure 2.  This housing 1 is therefore intended to receive dropable beacon means designated by the general reference 2 more particularly in FIG. 2.
Ces moyens formant balise sont alors largables à travers une extrémité du logement, désignée par la référence générale 3, en contact avec l'environnement de l'engin.  These beacon means are then releasable through one end of the housing, designated by the general reference 3, in contact with the environment of the machine.
Cette extrémité du logement 1 est obturée par un couvercle en forme de chapeau désigné par la référence générale 4 sur ces figures.  This end of the housing 1 is closed by a cap-shaped lid designated by the general reference 4 in these figures.
Selon l'invention, ce couvercle en forme de chapeau est relié au reste des moyens formant balise largable et est fixé sur le reste de l'engin sous marin par des moyens frangibles lors du largage de ces moyens formant balise.  According to the invention, this hat-shaped cover is connected to the rest of the means releasable tag and is fixed on the rest of the underwater vehicle by frangible means during the release of these beacon means.
En fait, ce couvercle en forme de chapeau et le reste des moyens formant balise largable peuvent être réalisés d'une seule pièce, ce qui permet d'éviter les problèmes décrits précédemment à propos de l'interférence entre le couvercle et le reste des moyens formant balise lors de l'éjection de ceux-ci.  In fact, this cap-shaped cover and the rest of the means releasable tag can be made in one piece, which avoids the problems described above about the interference between the cover and the rest of the means forming beacon during the ejection thereof.
En réalisant une balise avec une extrémité en forme de couvercle et venue de matière avec le reste de celle-ci, ces différents problèmes sont supprimés. Le couvercle en forme de chapeau de ces moyens formant balise est alors ajusté de façon étanche sur le reste de l'engin sous marin et accroché sur celui-ci à l'aide de moyens frangibles désignés par la référence générale 5 sur ces figures. By making a tag with a lid-shaped end and material with the rest of it, these various problems are removed. The hat-shaped cover of these beacon means is then sealingly fitted to the remainder of the underwater craft and hung thereon by frangible means designated by the general reference numeral 5 in these figures.
Ces moyens frangibles sont constitués par exemple par des vis cassables lors du largage des moyens formant balise pour libérer le reste de la balise.  These frangible means are constituted for example by breakable screws during the release of the means forming a beacon to release the rest of the beacon.
On conçoit alors que ceci permet de résoudre les différents problèmes évoqués précédemment.  It is conceivable then that this makes it possible to solve the various problems mentioned previously.
