Safety device consisting in measuring the distance between two moving inertial platforms by techniques and radio electric

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of security devices for the transfer of fluid with the aid of a hose or handle body between two platforms which are movable with respect to the other. It relates more particularly relates to a device able to determine the spacing between the two platforms in a predefined reference with the aid of two means of positioning of the platforms of the inertial units are independent and autonomous and of a means of processing of signals coming from these positioning means. These processing means being able to determine the distance between the platforms by differentiation of the positions of the platforms and to transmit them to external means. The gps receivers of the same type and synchronized on the same satellites are coupled to the device in order to contribute to the correction of the drift of the inertial sensors in the duration of use of the device. The device according to the invention is intended to improve the safety of the transfer of fluid, such as the gas or fuel, for example, using a handle body or a flexible pipe through which the fluid passes between two platforms, such as ships or floating barge, for example. The present invention makes it possible to automatically detect the risks of breakage of the flexible body and to engage the security procedures in the presence of these risks.
