Description

Subject of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wave generators, and in particular to wave balls, placed in basins in order to create movement in the liquid and in particular on the surface thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to such generators with on-board energy autonomy. State of the art

[0002] Wave generators are used for various purposes, such as sea survival training in realistic conditions, creating waves in aquatic leisure centers, or also reproducing waves in natural environments, for scientific studies or filmmaking, etc. Wave creation affects different fields and generators are constantly evolving to facilitate their use and installation, and to provide the most controlled waves possible with less energy.

[0003] Document BE1010674A3 discloses a system for generating waves on the surface of a liquid, in the form of a fully mechanical ball, comprising two bodies that move relative to each other and are connected to each other by a hydraulic device. The hydraulic device comprises a chamber in which a piston moves, and the fluid supply to the hydraulic device is carried out using an installation that is not integral with the ball and is connected to it by a pipe. The system also comprises means for controlling the hydraulic device, including in particular various sensors such as an accelerometer, a speed sensor or a pressure gauge coupled to the wave ball to determine the variation in the movement of the ball relative to the liquid.

[0004] Document EP0521884B1 discloses a wave generating system comprising two bodies, one of which moves within the other. The system also comprises a control system receiving a set of signals, via sensors of different types, in order to regulate the power supply of a motor (e.g. with a connecting rod / crank mechanism). The system can evaluate the amplitude of the waves, and measure the displacement of the bodies relative to each other. In this way, the system makes it possible to synchronize the movement of the bodies with the movement of the waves, acting on the regulation of the motor.

[0005] A control system includes a phase control unit and a speed control unit. It may also include a unit for changing the desired phase difference and speed values, in order to change the wave motion mode or move the device on the water surface (creating phase difference variations). The control system may be located within the wave generator but also outside of it, communicating with the ball via radio waves to obtain signals from the various sensors.

[0006] The wave generator may be battery or solar powered and optionally include a rechargeable battery, which can be recharged by current flowing through a magnetic coupling. Aims of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art, and in particular to provide a wave generator with on-board energy autonomy, which is autonomous, efficient and intelligent in order to optimize its consumption ("ecological" system) and self-manage its recharging.

[0008] The main purpose of the invention is to provide quality waves in the most autonomous way possible. The fact that the wave generator is battery-powered will then greatly facilitate its placement in pools, while bringing new problems to be solved such as for example the need to minimize its energy consumption to avoid too frequent recharging. Thanks to the real-time analysis of a set of parameters, the creation of waves can be thought out to guarantee lower energy consumption. This also makes it possible to enter into a configuration in line with the more general problem of energy savings and to limit the costs of using such a wave generator.

[0009] A second aim of the invention is that the generator can, in particular, recharge itself autonomously, with limited or no user intervention. In this way, wave generation is guaranteed without necessarily requiring human intervention.

[0010] The present invention also aims to offer various solutions for recharging the wave generator, whether on the water or out of the water, autonomously or semi-autonomously.

[0011] Another aim of the invention is to provide an interface so that exchanges can be made with the user, so that he can characterize the type of waves desired but also so that the system can provide him with maintenance or troubleshooting information. The interface makes it possible to control and program the machine.

[0012] Another aim of the invention is to offer a solution that is easy to implement in any type of pool, without requiring a wired connection, special structural work, or a machine room. The invention must offer a solution that is quick to implement, in terms of both installation and dismantling, and ready to use. Main characteristic elements of the invention

[0017] The present invention relates to a wave generation system, which is intended to create movement on the surface of a liquid (for example in a basin). An example of a wave generation system according to the invention is illustrated in the Figure 1. The system comprises a wave generator 1 located in a liquid, the wave generator 1 comprising an outer body 2 acting as a shell and an inner body 3, the inner body 3 being located inside the outer body 2. The inner body 3 is movable and acts as a heavy mass which rises and falls inside the outer body 2, at a certain frequency, and in this way transfers energy to the liquid to create a wave therein. The generator 1 according to the present invention is floating and is not necessarily secured to a wall of the basin in which it is located. However, it can in certain cases be maintained in a fixed position (see section "positioning of the wave generator" below).

[0018] The wave generator 1 of the present invention comprises a device 4 for moving the inner body 3, for making the latter oscillate inside the outer body 2. The moving device 4 may comprise, for example, as illustrated in the Figure 1 , a motorization system 41 activating a connecting rod-crank system 42 making it possible to set the internal body 3 in motion (being in this case represented as an example in the form of a movable plate). The movement of the internal body 3 is amplified by means of springs 43 and guided by a central axis 44.

[0019] An on-board energy autonomy 5, in other words on-board energy capacities, such as for example a battery, is included in the wave generator 1 in order to provide the energy necessary for the movement device 4. Alternatively, the battery can be advantageously replaced by an autonomous energy reserve (flywheel). By "on-board", it is understood throughout this description that the device in question, here the energy autonomy, is located on the wave generator 1 located in the liquid (whether inside the external body 2 or fixed to the outside thereof).

[0020] As explained previously, having on-board autonomy brings a large number of advantages, firstly the absence of a permanent wired connection to the wave generator 1, but then the need arises to minimise the generator's energy consumption to avoid too frequent recharging. Furthermore, it is desirable that the generator can recharge itself autonomously, without user intervention. Positioning the wave generator

[0021] In order to remain in a fixed position in the pool, the wave generator 1 may include different types of positioning systems.

[0022] As shown in the Figure 1, the wave generator 1 may comprise a return system 10 (for example a spring, an elastic band, etc.) connecting it either to one or more ballasts 9 or to one or more walls of the pool. In this case, the return system 10 allows the wave generator 1 to remain close to the position initially set in the event of moving away.

[0023] Otherwise, as shown in the Figure 2, the wave generator 1 may comprise a controlled positioning system with generator position tracking (for example GPS type, radio beacons or other). This controlled positioning system comprises on the one hand positioning beacons 11 making it possible to know the position of the generator 1 in the pool, and on the other hand at least one thruster 12 to guide the generator 1. The thruster(s) use(s) for example electric motors equipped with propellers or a reaction system which makes it possible to pump and discharge the water in order to maintain / move the generator 1 to the desired position. In this way, the generator 1 of the present invention is therefore advantageously anchored “virtually” at a location in the pool, thanks to its position which is constantly known using the positioning beacons, and corrected by the microprocessor which controls the thruster 12 to guide the generator 1 in the water. Consumption optimization

[0024] For the purpose of optimizing consumption, the wave generator 1 according to the present invention is autonomous and comprises an on-board controller which makes it possible to characterize the wave, to know the relative position of the generator 1 with respect to the wave and to optimize the energy transfer for minimal energy consumption (or for mechanical losses). In particular, on-board electronics 6 are provided, equipped with a set of sensors 7, also on-board, in order to determine the characteristics of the wave and to know the relative position of the generator 1 with respect to this wave. The on-board electronics 6 is in communication with a controller comprising a regulation system. The controller can be on-board the wave generator 1 or externalized.

[0025] The sensors 7 are preferably of the temperature sensor and accelerometer type. Furthermore, a crank position sensor of the connecting rod-crank system 42 and an on-board accelerometer make it possible to measure the oscillation frequency of the generator 1 as well as the amplitude of the wave. The regulation system comprises a regulation algorithm, on-board or not, then calculating the useful speed setpoint to be transmitted to the displacement device 4 of the internal body 3 (and more precisely to, for example, the motor 41) so as to subtract or increase the energy transmitted to the wave. The algorithm uses a control which allows the correction of the useful parameters via a PID type regulator specifically adapted and optimized for the regulation of the wave generator 1. To do this, the regulation consists of several nested loops.

[0026] In this way, the controller makes it possible to manage the regulation system of the displacement device 4, which will control the oscillation of the internal body 3 in order to generate the waves in an optimized manner, namely by transmitting the energy to the liquid at the best time (synchronization). Knowledge of the relative position of the generator 1 with respect to the wave makes it possible to optimize the energy transfer to obtain minimal consumption. In fact, thanks to the devices presented above, the precision of the control of the oscillation of the internal body 3 is such that the energy is transmitted only to the resonance mode which must be excited to create the wave, and thus avoid wasting energy by transmitting it to certain unwanted oscillation modes.

[0027] Preferably, the robot's shape will be optimized not only to accommodate the batteries but also to maximize energy transfer. Particular attention is paid to both the mechanical part and the regulation. The idea is to achieve very low energy consumption by limiting mechanical losses and achieving regulation conducive to very low energy consumption.

[0028] Also preferably, the motor 41 passes through four quadrants, two of which can potentially act as an energy generator by returning energy to the system. Rather than wasting this energy, the system is designed to recover it and reuse it for the next cycle. In this case, a device using supercapacitors or batteries will allow the energy to be stored for reuse in subsequent cycles.

[0029] The optimization of consumption, and the regulation system via the controller 6 make it possible to credibly develop such a generator 1 with an on-board autonomy 5. Loading

[0030] The generator 1 according to the present invention can be recharged autonomously and the generation of waves is guaranteed without necessarily requiring user intervention.

[0031] The main problem to be solved for the wave generator 1 with on-board energy autonomy 5 concerns the charging system when the generator 1 is in the water. The recharging of the on-board energy autonomy 5 can be done either by contact or by induction. In all cases, the on-board autonomy 5 preferably remains in position in the generator 1. The means for recharging the on-board autonomy 5 comprise an energy source for recharging 14, as well as a charger part allowing the transfer of energy by contact or by induction from the energy source 14 to the on-board autonomy 5. The charger part is connected to the energy source 14 by a recharging cable 13 and preferably supported by a recharging plate 15. The energy source 14 and the charger part are located outside the liquid and independent of the wave generator 1 which is located in the liquid.The on-board autonomy comprises a receiving part 16 for energy transfer, preferably fixed on the external shell 2 of the wave generator 1. When charging, it is necessary to be able to connect the charger part with the receiving part 16 to allow the transfer of energy from the energy source 14 to the batteries 5.

[0032] To connect the charger part to the receiving part 16 of the wave generator 1, several means can be considered.

[0033] Either the user will be notified via the interface 8 connected to the controller 6 that the generator 1 must be recharged, and he will be able to recharge the generator 1 by moving it to a charging station comprising an energy source for recharging 14, or using a recharging pole 17 which he will place on the generator 1 which will remain in place in the pool. As illustrated in the Figure 3, a pole 17 can be used to position either the contact or the inductor for recharging. The pole 17 is height-adjustable and tiltable. A recharging cable 13 is connected between the charger part and the power source for recharging 14.

[0034] Either generator 1 will move by itself to a charging station, located for example at the edge of the pool, and will charge itself, therefore autonomously. This option is possible if wave generator 1 is equipped with automatic and regulated control of its position, for autonomous connection.

[0035] Or, it is also possible for a mobile charging vehicle 19 (of the nautical or aerial drone type, etc.) to move to the generator 1 so that the latter can remain in place in the basin. The mobile vehicle 19 carries with it the connector or the transmitter for induction connected by a cable 13 to the energy source for recharging 14. It can move to a position located by the controller to carry out the recharging. The mobile vehicle 19 is remote-controlled and includes a thruster and positioning system to move to the position determined for recharging. Safety of the on-board autonomy system

[0036] The wave generation system of the present invention preferably comprises a remote automatic safety shutdown, including securing the battery. Indeed, the onboard energy autonomy 5 must comply with the safety standards imposed in swimming pools and aquatic basins. The electrical voltage at the terminals of the energy storage system will therefore not exceed the values recommended for the intended applications. The wave generator 1 may be equipped with water presence sensors so as to automatically cut off the wave generator 1 in the event of water ingress. In addition, the onboard energy autonomy 5 is preferably equipped with a sensor linked to its attachments so as to automatically cut off the wave generator 1 in the event that the onboard energy autonomy 5 becomes detached from its attachments. Communication

[0037] The wave generator 1 comprises a communication system 20, preferably radio, and is capable of communicating remotely with the user by messages (user instructions) and diagnostics (information on the use of waves / statistics, battery charge level).

[0038] Preferably, a user interface 8 is provided so that two-way exchanges can take place between the wave generation system and the user, so that he can characterize the type of waves desired but also so that the system can provide him with maintenance or troubleshooting information.

[0039] Thanks to this interface 8, communication is therefore made possible between the user and the wave generator 1.

[0040] The user will have the leisure to interact with the generator 1, for example to modify its requests (generation of different types of waves with different amplitudes), according to its wishes. The interface 8 will also make it possible to display a certain number of information relating to the use of the waves (characterization, statistics, etc.) but also information about the state of the generator 1 such as its parameters, the battery charge level, maintenance, diagnostics if an error appears. The sensors 7 present in the generator 1 communicate the information to the user interface 8 via the controller, for example according to a radio wave communication known per se to the person skilled in the art (Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi protocols for example, depending on the needs).

[0041] Communication can take place on a console provided for this purpose. The user will be able to take control of the robot remotely and request information from it or give it instructions concerning the use of the generator 1. The console with its application is preferably a user-friendly “end-user” system widely available on the market, therefore of a type well known to those skilled in the art and to the user (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.).

[0042] A possible and additional communication system between the user and a maintenance service could be advantageously provided to ensure remote service, particularly useful for fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.

[0043] According to an advantageous embodiment, generator 1 will be able to communicate with one or more other generators. This intelligent communication between the generators within the same pool allows them to be synchronized, or to arrange their movements so as to have an optimal wave result with less and optimized energy. Benefits

[0044] Thanks to its onboard autonomy, the wave generation system is easy to implement in any type of pool, without requiring a wired connection, special structural work, or a machine room. The invention offers a quick-to-implement and ready-to-use solution. Installation is easy, as the generator will be placed in the water and will communicate with a radio signal directly to the controller. It is a ready-to-use product and operational in just a few hours. The system is easy to use and safe due to the absence of cables in the water and allowing the elimination of a bulky and noisy machine room under the pool. A single glued anchor point is required.

[0045] The generator according to the present invention has been developed to consume minimal energy while achieving exceptional wave quality. It is autonomous, with an onboard controller that allows the system to measure the wave, know its position relative to the wave and optimize the energy transfer for minimal energy consumption. Wave control therefore guarantees a quality wave.

[0046] It can produce waves in all types of pools, such as training pools or public swimming pools. The type of waves depends on the desired use (wellness, training, leisure, cinema, etc.).
