摘要:
A transfer arm for a fluid product includes a transfer pipe having sections linked by fluid-tight articulations and an end provided with a device for connecting the pipe to a target duct. A support structure for the pipe has an inner branch mounted on a base and an outer branch suspended from the inner branch by an articulation assembly. The articulation assembly enables rotation of the outer branch around vertical and horizontal axes and is positioned between first and second ends of the outer branch. The first end is provided with a counterweight for balancing parts of the outer branch that are situated on opposite sides of the horizontal rotational axis. The arm also has a disengageable device for actuating the rotations of the outer branch around the horizontal and vertical axes and a flexible link which suspends the pipe, upstream of the device, from the second end of the outer branch.
摘要:
A device for providing information on the positioning of a moveable coupling located on a movable end of a fluid transfer line, the other end of which is fixed to a base, includes a first GPS device which is positioned on or adjacent the coupling and provides information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space, and a second apparatus which is adapted to cooperate directly with the first apparatus and provides information on the positioning of the base. The second apparatus is disposed on or adjacent the base and provides, on the basis of the information on the positioning of the base and the information on the positioning of the coupling, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base. Alternatively, the first apparatus is adapted to provide information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space, the base has a fixed position in space, and the device comprises a calculator for calculating, on the basis of the information on the absolute positioning of the coupling and data on the positioning of the base, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base.
摘要:
A device for providing information on the positioning of a moveable coupling which is located on a movable end of a fluid transfer line of a marine loading system and is adapted for connection to a target duct, the other end of the fluid transfer line being fixed to a base. The device comprises a first apparatus for providing information on the positioning of the coupling. The first apparatus is positioned on the coupling or on a member Immediately neighboring the coupling and includes a first GPS device which provides information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space. The device comprises a second apparatus adapted to cooperate directly with the first apparatus and provides information on the positioning of the base. The second apparatus is disposed on the base or on a member immediately neighboring the base and provides, on the basis of the information on the positioning of the base and the information on the positioning of the coupling, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base. Alternatively, the first means is adapted to provide information on the absolute positioning of the coupling in space, the base has a fixed position in space, and the device comprises a calculator for calculating, on the basis of the information on the absolute positioning of the coupling and data on positioning of the base, information on the relative positioning of the coupling directly relative to the base.
摘要:
A transfer arm for a fluid product, comprising a transfer pipe (12) having sections linked by fluid-tight articulations and having an end provided with a device for connecting the pipe (2) to a target duct, and a support structure (4) for the pipe (2) comprising an inner branch (16) mounted on a base (17) and an outer branch suspended from the inner branch (16) by articulation means (22) enabling rotation of the outer branch (18) around vertical and horizontal axes and arranged between a first and a second end of the outer branch, the first being provided with a counterweight (24) for balancing the two parts of the outer branch (18) that are situated on opposite sides of the horizontal rotational axis, the arm also comprising disengageable means for actuating the rotations of the outer branch around the horizontal and vertical axes and a flexible link (43) which suspends the pipe (2), upstream of the device, from second end of the outer branch (18).
