    [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for treating watershed walls. It relates more particularly to a system for polishing internal walls of aquatic basins. The present invention also relates to the corresponding polishing method.
    [0002] STATE OF PRIOR ART [0001] In general, the fauna and flora installed in an aquatic basin, must be able to live in the most natural way possible. Thus aquatic basins need to be treated regularly, both for the welfare of living beings, and because of the natural and physical damage they are subject to. The aquatic basins are intended to be visualized and must therefore have smooth and polished walls. Polishing of the transparent surfaces of the water basins must therefore be carried out regularly. Various methods of the prior art allow to polish the transparent surfaces of aquariums. However, such methods often require not only intrusive means harmful to the life forms present in the aquatic basins, but also a heavy human intervention and not easily implemented. [0004] In general, the polishing of transparent surfaces of aquatic basins is carried out by hand. Large pools are cleaned and polished by divers, who act in pairs and perform the work manually. Such an approach is tedious, long and potentially dangerous to some animals, such as sharks, present in the water basin, which implies that one of the divers is watching the animals while his partner - team performs the treatment. Another disadvantage deriving from such an artisanal treatment is that it requires a certain number of teams of 5 divers and a consequent duration of treatment since the divers can remain under water only for relatively short durations. [1: 1005] Currently, divers use abrasive disk polishers.
    [0003] Such polishing discs wear out very quickly and must therefore be very often replaced. They also have the disadvantage of making the dosing of the polishing force very delicate. In some cases for example, when moving from a very soft disc to a very abrasive disc, an inattentive plunger can damage the wall to be treated. Various types of devices are also known for carrying out polishing and / or cleaning actions from means of displacement or control provided on the outside of the basin. Many of these systems use magnetic means to connect an external element to an internal element. For example, patent application EP2012581 proposes a device for cleaning aquarium panes, and in particular internal aquarium panes. This device comprises an element that can be positioned on the inner wall of the aquarium glass. The device also includes an outer member that is positioned on the outer face of the wall. The internal and external elements of the device are respectively attracted by the magnetic force so that the inner element of the device follows the movements of the external element. A cleaning surface is installed within the device, this surface is turned directly against the inner wall of the aquarium. The invention therefore incorporates the method of cleaning an inner surface of the glass of an aquarium. EP1947932 also relates to an aquarium cleaning device having an internal component which comprises a plate serving as a cleaning surface, as well as an alternatively operative cleaning component, located on a surface opposite to the surface to be cleaned. A magnetic member is placed on the plate and flotation means is at one end of the plate. An outer component has a body attaching to the outer surface of a wall of the aquarium. A second magnetic element is carried by the body so that the body can be positioned between the two magnetic elements with the cleaning surface adjacent to the aquarium wall. By moving the body between the first and second positions, the inner component is moved inside the aquarium to clean different surfaces. Also, the application WO2008006259 describes a magnetic cleaner of 15 aquarium panes comprising an inner cleaning member for sliding on the inner surface of the window. The interior cleaner element includes a front cover, a back cover, a magnet, and a cleaning surface. The device also includes an external cleaning element positioned on the outer surface of the window. The magnetic form between the inner and outer cleaner members causes the movement of the inner cleaning member by movement of the outer cleaning member. [0010] Application EP1738642 relates to an internal surface cleaning device of an aquarium comprising an inner body. The inner body has a cleaning surface made of foam, intended to be in contact with the wall to be cleaned. The inner body is moved on the magnetic surface by the magnetic force binding it to an external component. [0011] WO2007127472 is yet another example of treatment and provides a remote surface preparation mechanism, such as cleaning the interior surface of an externally managed aquarium. The cleaning device comprises a body having at least one magnetic element which is coupled, for remote control, with complementary magnetic elements, in a remote mobile drive head. The mechanism includes an adjustment system for varying the intensity of the magnetic forces coupling between the remote surface preparation assembly and the mechanism. Finally, the document W00040080 describes a device for cleaning windows of aquariums, including the interior of aquarium panes. The device comprises an inner member, placed on the inner wall of the pane, and an outer member placed on the outer side of the aquarium pane. These inner and outer elements attract each other under the effect of a magnetic force, so that movement of the outer member along the aquarium pane causes the same movement of the inner member. The device is characterized in that the element placed inside the aquarium is designed to float on the liquid medium contained in the aquarium when the magnetic force no longer applies. [0013] The state of the art, as illustrated by the documents evoked, proposes systems for polishing and / or cleaning aquarium surfaces by means of various magnetic mechanisms. Such methods, however, have certain disadvantages. The magnetic force required for the surface treatment involves installing two elements on each side of the wall of the aquatic pond to be treated. This arrangement furthermore requires an easy external access for the arrangements and positions to be cleaned, which is not always the case in practice. The treatment technique, in particular by magnetic mechanisms, is often limited to relatively thin walls, which excludes the treatment of large aquatic basins, whose walls can reach several tens of centimeters in thickness. Abys_polifr 3033229 5 [0016] Also, the setting in motion of the magnetic element attached to the inner wall of the water tank is generated by the setting in motion of the external element, often by human intervention, excluding the automation of the process. Automatic systems are also known, for example as described in application WO2006078921, which describes an automatic aquarium cleaning system. The cleaning system is programmed to perform the cleaning of the aquarium on a regular basis without requiring human intervention during the cleaning process. The cleaning system is configured to move along the sidewalls of the aquarium to clean the walls as it moves. Such a system is intended for small aquariums and ponds of small volumes. Its action is restricted to cleaning the walls. In order to overcome these various drawbacks, the invention provides various technical means.
    [0004] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0018] First of all, a first object of the invention is to provide a system and method for treating aquatic pond walls allowing polishing of transparent surfaces, without harming the environment of human beings. live in the basin. Another object of the invention is to provide a system that does not require the presence of one or more divers to remain in the pool for the duration of treatment. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for working in continuous flow, without causing difficulties in the effort dosage to be applied. Another object of the invention is to provide a device for treating aquatic pond walls that do not require moving living beings out of the water basin during the polishing process. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Another object of the invention is to provide a device for treating aquatic pond walls which makes it possible to conserve the water during and after the polishing process. [0023] Yet another object of the invention makes it possible to recover the particles resulting from the polishing operations. Finally another object of the invention makes it possible to treat different configurations of walls of aquatic basins. To this end, the invention provides a polishing system for the internal walls of aquatic basins comprising an abrasive mixing tank and a surface treatment head in fluid communication with the abrasive mixing tank, as well as means for moving the treatment head along the wall to be treated, and means for supplying substantially continuous flow of the treatment head abrasive mixture. Such an arrangement makes it possible to treat large-area walls automatically or semi-automatically with human intervention of limited duration in the basin. According to an advantageous embodiment, the treatment system comprises a treatment head which comprises a confinement chamber in which a treatment disc is rotatably arranged. Such an architecture of the confinement chamber makes it possible to set up a sealed working interface and to recover the particles. Abys_poli_fr 3033229 7 [0029] Advantageously, the processing system comprises a treatment disc having an axis of rotation and hollow supply connected on the one hand to the abrasive mixture supply means and on the other hand to an engine of treatment disk. This makes it possible to correctly manage the polishing parameters. [0031] Also advantageously, the treatment system comprises a confinement chamber which comprises an outlet orifice in fluid communication with a recovered mixture tank. Such an arrangement has the advantage of being able to recover the mixture used. [0033] Advantageously, the treatment system is provided with means for moving the treatment head along the wall to be treated which comprise at least one horizontal rail and one vertical rail. [0034] Advantageously, this arrangement constitutes a simple, inexpensive and easy to assemble / disassemble implementation. According to an advantageous variant, the processing system comprises at least one movably mounted rail. [1: 1036] Advantageously, the treatment system comprises a treatment head thrust propeller which is disposed on the treatment head, substantially opposite the containment chamber. This arrangement makes it possible to adjust the holding force of the treatment head against the wall to be treated. Abys_poli_fr 3033229 [0038] Also advantageously, the system comprises a recirculation circuit of the abrasive mixture. This makes it possible to reuse the abrasive mixture over several cycles, until the mixture is saturated. The invention also provides a polishing process for the internal walls of aquatic basins comprising the following steps: - a surface treatment head is fed with an abrasive mixture; The abrasive mixture received is transmitted into a confinement chamber of the treatment head; a treatment disk provided in the confinement chamber impregnates the abrasive mixture received; the rotating treatment disk processes the inner wall; The abrasive mixture used is rejected; - the surface treatment head is moved. Advantageously, the distribution of abrasive mixture is carried out in continuous flow. [0042] Also advantageously, the recovered abrasive mixture is used in several treatment cycles. [0043] Advantageously, the abrasive mixture stream is adjusted so that the pressure inside the confinement chamber is less than the pressure outside the containment chamber.

    [0005] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0046] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a first embodiment of a system for polishing internal walls of aquatic basins 2 according to the invention. TREATMENT HEAD [0046] As depicted in FIG. 1, the treatment head 30 comprises a confinement chamber 31 making it possible to cooperate sealingly with the wall 3 to be treated. A treatment disk 32 is arranged in the confinement chamber 31 and positioned to allow the polishing of the wall 2 to be treated. The treatment disk 32 may be rotated by a motor 33 of the treatment disk. The treatment disc 32 is mounted on a dual function hollow shaft 34 serving as a rotation axis and a mixing feed tube. The axis 34 guides the incoming mixture to the processing disk 32, mounted so Abys_poli_fr 3033229 10 receive the incoming mixture. During the treatment, the disc is thus constantly soaked with abrasive mixture 40 entering. In the working position, the confinement chamber 31 is isolated from the rest of the basin and makes it possible to recover the abrasive mixture 41. The recovered abrasive mixture comprises the particles of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) extracted from the polishing mixed with the abrasive mixture. 40. CONTINUOUS SUPPLY [0048] In the examples illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a platform 20 serves to support an abrasive mixing tank 21 and a recovered mixing tank 22. The platform 20 is advantageously disposed outside the 2, for example above the latter, as illustrated in Figure 1. The abrasive mixing tank 21 is intended to store the abrasive mixture 40 initial. The recovered mixing tank 22 makes it possible to store the recovered mixture 41 following a polishing cycle. An abrasive mixing feed tube 23 connects the abrasive mixing tank 21 to the mixing and rotating feed axis 34. An abrasive mixing return tube 24 connects the containment chamber 31 to the mixed mixing tank 22. A management box 51 is advantageously installed near the platform 20. The management box 51 includes all the information that can be used by the control unit 50. The management box 51 enables receiving and processing instructions from the user's control box 50. FIG. 2 is an alternative embodiment of the system described with reference to FIG. 1. In this variant, the feed and recovery mode of the mixture can be managed by an abrasive mixing distribution module 25. Abys_poli_en According to the mode of selection operated, the abrasive mixing dispensing module 25 makes it possible to interchange the feed and recovery tanks 22.This inversion characteristic of the reservoirs 21 and 22 allows, whenever a tank is empty, to use the other tank to ensure the supply. The system makes it possible to perform a plurality of polishing cycles. At each cycle, the PMMA particle content of the mixture 41 increases. When the mixture reaches a pre-established PMMA level, the spent mixture is removed from the circuit and a new abrasive mixing tank is connected to the system. For example, when the feed tank 21 is empty, the recovery tank 22 in turn feeds the treatment head 30, this time with a mixed mixture of abrasive and PMMA particles recovered from the or previous cycles.
    [0006] SUPPORT AND DISPLACEMENT OF THE TREATMENT HEAD [0053] According to the first embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the processing system 1 comprises various elements making it possible to provide support and mobility for the treatment head 30. As illustrated, the system 1 comprises a horizontal rail 11 and two vertical rails 10. The latter can be fixed to the ground of the basin and on the surface, on fixing areas available near the wall 3 to be treated. [0066] The horizontal rail 11 is designed to allow the mobility of the treatment head 30 by translational movements along the X axis. The translation movement of the treatment head 30 along the X axis is ensured. by a motor 13 of horizontal displacement provided in the treatment head 30. To facilitate the translation, casters are advantageously arranged between the treatment head 30 and the horizontal rail 11. Abys_poli_en 3033229 12 [0056] The horizontal rail 11 is him - Even mobile mounted along the Y axis. The mobility of the horizontal rail 11 on the Y axis is permitted by two motors12 vertical displacement. Thanks to these two types of displacements, the treatment head 30 can be moved over the entire surface covered by the span of the rails 10 and 11. SECOND EMBODIMENT [0058] FIGS. second embodiment of the invention. This embodiment advantageously provides abrasive mixing management using tanks arranged in tandem, namely a tandem for each particle size. There are preferably as many tandem tanks as there are particle sizes. The volume of each tank conditions the frequency of replacement of the abrasive mixture 40. It is possible to use a single particle size, which implies translational speeds on the axis (x) and (y) specific and a repetition 20 passage per unit of suitable surface.If there is no translation on the axis (x) and (y) of the treatment head 30 until the complete renovation of the surface unit, then it is necessary to guarantee a thermal equilibrium between the abrasive mixture 40 and the treated PMMA surface which can undergo in this case a superficial and punctual non-compliant heating. [0061] If several grit sizes 40 are used, a rinsing phase of the circuits can be provided, prior to the change of the tandem tanks.
    [0007] TREATMENT HEAD As illustrated, the treatment head module preferably consists of two treatment heads 30 or multiples of two. Abys_poli_en 3033229 [0062] The main rotating elements are the thrust propeller 35 and the treatment disk 32. The treatment heads 30 are advantageously mounted in counter-rotation relative to each other, in order to cancel the rotation torque. This embodiment is specifically designed to limit the stresses on the gantries and the guide device of the (x) and (y) axis. In this perspective the treatment heads 30 and motor trolleys (y) (described later in connection with Figure 4) are neutral buoyancy in the water, to limit the constraints on the gantries and facilitate movement of translations. The role of the treatment head 30 is essential since it is in direct contact with the wall 3 made of PMMA to be treated and makes it possible to polish the material in order to erase the various scratches and opacities. The chassis of the treatment head 30 can move freely on its axis a few centimeters forward and backward. This allows the process head thrust propeller 35 to press the containment chamber 31 onto the panel or release it. This also makes it possible to achieve the different phases of the cycle without generating mechanical stress on the structural elements of the rails, and while maintaining perfect guidance on the three axes. To optimize the process, the thrust exerted by the propeller 35 is slightly greater than the opposite force resulting from the internal pressure of the confinement chamber 31.
    [0008] In addition, the pressure in the confinement chamber 31 is lower than the external pressure exerted on this chamber. The treatment head 30 is set in motion along the axis (y) with the vertical motor truck 16. The treatment head 30 descends under water, its 30 vertical motor truck 16 rolls on the vertical rail 10. Abys_poli_en 3033229 14 [0068] The processing head 30 stops a few tens of cm below the surface. The pond water enters the containment chamber 31. Check valves in the treatment disc and the air injection pipe prevent water from entering the circuits. The exhaust pipe distributor is in the purge position. The propeller 35 thrust treatment head, driven by an electric motor 36, rotates. This generates a thrust allowing the translation of the head along the axis (z). This thrust force produces the plating of the confinement chamber on the PMMA wall 3. The propeller 35 generates a constant and adjustable static thrust on the containment chamber 31 once it is pressed against the wall 3. The confinement chamber 31 has a seal at its periphery, mounted in axial range so as to make the plating sufficiently tight on the wall 3. This makes it possible to avoid abrasive mixture leakage 40 and air leakage at the time of purges and rinsing phases. The compressed air distributor passes purge position. The air enters the containment chamber 31 and flushes the water that escapes through the exhaust pipe and returns to the drain tank. Once purging is complete, the admix of abrasive mixture 40 can begin. The distributor of the exhaust pipe passes in the return position on the tank No. 2 of the first tank tandem. The compressed air distributor switches to the abrasive mixing feed position. The pressurized air is injected into the reservoir No. 1 of the first tank tandem, containing the abrasive mixture of the first particle size. The abrasive mixture 40 descends into the feed tube 23 and passes through the dynamic mechanical seal fitted to the hollow shaft of the polishing Abys_poli_en 3033229 15 32 disk. The abrasive mixture 40 fills the central chamber of the foam, then the peripheral distribution channels. The drive electric motor 32 of the processing disc 5 rotates. The treatment operation of the PMMA wall 3 begins. The speed of the disk 32 polishing foam carrier is variable so as to allow the selection of a speed well suited to the operating parameters such as the quality of the abrasive agent present in the abrasive mixture 40, the nature of the imperfections to polish, the speed of movement of the head, etc. The abrasive mixture 40 is projected against the wall 3 to be polished under the effect of the centrifugal force and the abrasive mixture flow rate 40 produced by the feed circuit. Gradually, the entire volume of the containment chamber 31 is filled with abrasive mixture 40 which then escapes through the exhaust pipe and returns to the tank No. 2 of the first tank tandem. An abrasive mixture layer 40 is held between the foam and the wall 3, resulting from the thrust generated by the helix 35 on the polishing plate and by the flow of abrasive mixture 40 produced by the pressure of the air in the reservoir # 1. A few seconds after the polishing disc 32 has come into rotation, the translation of the treatment head 30 on the axis (x) begins. This translation is produced by the motor rollers of the vertical rail which rolls on the horizontal rails. The abrasion produced charges the abrasive mixture 40 of PMMA particles.
    [0009] This implies providing a load shedding volume in the tandem tanks to allow the progressive saturation of the mixture 41 into PMMA particles. It is also necessary to control the gradual thickening of the abrasive mixture because a too high viscosity of it due to PMMA particle loading could create an excessive heating of the wall. When the No. 1 tank is almost empty, the compressed air distributor stops the injection of air and supplies the tank No. 2. The presence of the anti-Abys_poli_en valves 3033229 16 back on the tanks allows alternation of circulation of the abrasive mixture 40. Thus, the tank No. 2 becomes the supply tank and the No. 1 tank return. This is why we talk about tandem tanks for each particle size. The abrasive mixture recycling system 40 allows: - a high mixing rate 40 in the confinement chamber 31, thus limiting the heating; an interface layer thick enough to promote the most regular and most effective abrasion possible; - An optimization of the duration of use of the mixture per unit area before its viscosity is non-compliant.
    [0010] CONTINUOUS SUPPLY [0080] Still in connection with FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixed surface platform module represents the logistics station of the machine. It is this module that stores and distributes all the mixtures to the treatment heads 30. This module also distributes the electric current to all the engines and systems that need it. It produces compressed air and also carries the control unit of the control station module. In the illustrated example, this module consists of the following subsets: a chassis on a wheel, a connection for the mains current, one or more electric current transformers, a low pressure air compressor and its tank, a set of tanks of abrasive mixtures (tandem tanks), a purge tank, a set of pneumatic distributors, a set of water distributors and abrasive mix, a pneumatic and hydraulic control device, a control unit, a connection arrival of water from the network. The platform 20 is preferably positioned in the technical rooms of the basin or the aquarium, as close as possible to the access to the surface above the wall 3 in PMMA to be treated. The chassis on wheels of this module allows this setting up. Indeed it is desirable to minimize the lengths of cables and pipes, connected to the modules installed on the wall 3 in PMMA. Once the location of the platform is determined, the operator proceeds to connect the cables and pipes to the horizontal rail connection box. The platform 20 is no longer displaced during the construction period. The platform 20 is also connected to the electrical sector and the running water network. When all the modules are operational, the operations can begin. The operator, through his control box 50, triggers the general tensioning of the platform 20. The tandem tanks were filled with abrasive mixture 40 beforehand. The purge and rinse tank is empty. The operator triggers the start of the low pressure air compressor so that it pressurises the buffer tank. Once the service pressure is reached, the system is operational. [0085] The management box 51, under the orders of the operator, feeds the servocontrol circuits of the distributors through its dedicated control card. The distribution of mixtures 40 to the treatment heads 30 begins, as well as the collection of physical parameters to monitor the system. The power supply is supplied by the transformer and the dedicated control card to supply all the electric motors of the machine. In this exemplary embodiment, the polishing method is described with a manual approach. In a variant, several of the steps presented can also be implemented according to an automated approach. Abys_poli_fr 3033229 18 [0088] According to the second embodiment of the invention, the mobility of the treatment heads 30 is provided by a rail system comprising two pairs of rails arranged substantially perpendicularly. In the following, the horizontal rails 11 and the vertical rails 10 will be described, in connection with FIGS. 4 and 5. The horizontal rails 10 This module represents the guide elements of the vertical rails 10 and the treatment heads 30 on the axis (x) allowing their translation on this axis so that the vertical rails are substantially perpendicular to the surface of the water. In the illustrated example, this module consists of three sets of elements, namely the surface guide rail, the bottom guide rail, and the connection box. Surface Guide Rail [0090] This set of elements is installed by plungers on the PMMA wall 3 to be treated. It is installed a few centimeters above the surface of the pond water. In the illustrated example, the assembly comprises the following elements: a plurality of pneumatic support suction cups and a plurality of 25 rail sections. The suction cups 14 are preferably positioned equidistantly relative to the upper end of the PMMA wall 3. They are interconnected by a pneumatic pipe of the pneumatic fixing circuit.
    [0011] The suction cups 14 are connected in parallel to the pneumatic circuit: their implementation is independent. A small pneumatic connection box is integrated in the first suction cup for distributing the compressed air to the suction cups. This sucker is called "suction cup". So by the play of pressure delta generated by the pneumatic circuit in the dry chamber of the suction cup, the plating of it on the wall 3 is very powerful. An anti-return valve on the suction cup limits the problems of 5 recess in case of possible leakage of the circuit. Once this network of suction cups installed, the rails sections can be set up. The section rails are, for example, HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or plastic sheets having a good flexibility without risk of rupture, matching the possible radius of curvature of the wall 3 of PMMA to be treated. By way of example, the length of the section rails may be between 0.5 and 2 meters in length depending on the aquarium basin configurations. The section rails are fixed on the suction cups, at the rate of two or three inking points. A mounting flange secures the rails to each other. Preferably a cord alignment device is used which is placed on the PMMA panel at the time of placement of the suction cups. The drilling diameters of the fastening screws on the section rails are such as to allow the rails to be adjusted relative to one another. The repositioning of the anchoring cups is possible as and when mounting the rails sections. When the dimensions of the PMMA wall 3 to be treated do not allow 25 to use only standard lengths of rail sections, a so-called "connecting" section rail is used. This rail section is a custom plate for adjustment. It can be made on site. The guide rail melts: This set of elements is installed by plungers on the lower part of the PMMA panel. This assembly comprises the following Abys_poli_en 3033229 elements: a plurality of pneumatic suction cups and a plurality of rail sections. The setting up operations are similar to those of the surface rail.
    [0012] A nipple, connected to the surface nipple, is used. The suction cups are positioned equidistant from the lower end of the PMMA wall 3. The junction box: [0098] In the example shown, a junction box is positioned in the dry very close to the access to the water surface of the basin and, if possible, also positioned approximately in the middle of the plane. of water and the opposite side to the wall 3 of PMMA. This junction box makes it possible to connect all the power supplies and the returns of the fixed surface platform module to the vertical gantry module and to the treatment heads 30 of the machine. It plays a role of anchor and pivot. Indeed cables and pipes connected from the box to the gantry are very flexible and are equipped with floats to follow the movement of the vertical gantry spreading on the surface of the water, without entanglement and excessive stress . It also makes it possible to supply compressed air to the attachment circuits of the suction cups. The Vertical Rails [0099] This module represents the guiding elements of the treatment heads 30 on the axis (y) but also the motor elements of the axis (x) and (y). In the illustrated example, this module consists of the following sets: the guide rail, the motor trolleys (x), the motor trolley (y), the connector boxes, and the guide rail. Abys_poli_en 3033229 21 [00101] This assembly constitutes the guide and the raceway of the axis (y). It is installed by the diving operators after laying the horizontal rails. In the illustrated example, it comprises the following elements: a plurality of rail sections with a coaxial corrector, a plurality of rail sections, and a plurality of connection sections. [00103] Having taken into account the depth of the basin 2 and therefore the length of the segment between the median axis of the surface guide rail and the median axis of the bottom guide rail, it is possible to carry out the assembly of the guide rail. [00104] As for the horizontal gantry, the rails are, for example, plastic plates whose buoyancy is neutral (to facilitate assembly and efforts on the horizontal rails). These plates are assembled together by means of flanges and spacers. The guide rail is a double plane assembly, with cylindrical spacers to obtain significant rigidity on lengths that can be several meters. [00105] The section rails with coaxial corrector have an oblong hole: it is the first rail section from the top of the basin 2. This oblong hole makes it possible to fix it to the motor carriage (x) of the surface rail and makes it possible to correct misalignment of the rails of the horizontal gantry during translations on the axis (x). The connectors, as for the horizontal rails 11, provide the custom connection if the standard section rails do not achieve the desired height. They can be adjusted on site. Abys_polifr 25 30 3033229 22 The motor trolleys (x) [00107] In the example illustrated, the assembly consists of two motor trolleys of the axis (x) which allow the translation of the frame on the axis (x). The first is installed on the surface rail and the second on the bottom rail. The guide rail is fixed at the top on the first motor cart and at the bottom on the second. In the illustrated example, the motor trolleys (x) comprise the following 10 elements: a frame, guide rollers 17, a motor and motor roller, a control system and sealed connections. [00109] The frame of the carriage allows the fixing and rotation of four guide rollers 17. A fixing pin allows the connection of the rail section with 15 coaxial connector on the upper carriage. The guide rollers 17 roll in pairs, two on the upper edge and two on the lower edge of the horizontal rails rails sections. Thus they solidarize the chassis on the rail but also allow its horizontal translation. The chassis is equipped with an electric motor and a reducer in a waterproof case. At the outlet of the gearbox, the shaft is equipped with a motor roller. This motor roller is for example a rubber wheel which drives the carriage and therefore the vertical rail. In translation on the axis (x). The raceway of this motor roller is the outer face of the plates of the horizontal rails 11. The motor carriage (x) of the upper part has a support to be able to fix the connector housing. The geared motor unit and the motor roller 25 are mounted on an adjustable frame in order to be able to modify the intensity of the support of the motor roller on its raceway, and to generate sufficient adhesion to carry out the translation. The motors of the trolleys are connected to the connection box dedicated to the motor trolleys (x) thanks to cables equipped with waterproof connector. The two motor trolleys (x) are preferably always fed at the same time by the platform 20. The motor trolley (y): Abys_poli_en 3033229 23 [00110] In the example illustrated, this assembly consists of the motor trolley of the axis (y) which allows the translation of the treatment heads 30 on the axis (y). It comprises the following elements: a frame, guide rollers, a motor and motor roller, a control system, sealed connections. [00111] The frame of the motor carriage (y) has the same guiding principle at the level of the guide rollers 17. It secures the chassis on the vertical rail but allows its translation on the axis (y). The motor trolley (y) has the same movement system as the trolleys (x), with waterproof case, 10 geared motor, motor roller and adjustment system of the motor roller, as well as sealed connectors for its engine. The chassis of the truck (y) has in addition to the others, fasteners on each side on the horizontal plane. These devices make it possible to fix the treatment heads 30 of each side. In addition, they make it possible to adjust the angle of parallelism of the treatment heads 30 with respect to the wall 3 in PMMA, and then to lock them in the chosen position. This system makes it possible to adapt to significant radii of curvature of the wall 3.
    [0013] The connector housings: [00113] The chassis of the motor trolley (y) is equipped with a connector housing which makes it possible to connect the supply circuit of its translation motor, but also the power supply of all the electric motors of the heads. 30 and the pipes of the various mixtures. The connector housing of the motor carriage (y) is connected to the general connection box of the horizontal gantry which is dry and which is connected to the platform 20. The control station module: [00114] As illustrated in FIG. Figure 6, the role of the control station module is to give the operator access to all the system controls and monitoring of parameters. This module allows manual, semi-automatic or automatic control of the machine. The control box is installed on the "dry side" of the PMMA panel to be treated. The operator thus has a visual in dry environment of the panel, this allowing him to appreciate in an optimal way and in real time the results of the operations of treatment (the visual being much less precise in immersed medium). In addition, the operator is much less physically tested in a dry environment than in a submerged environment, and potentially safer in the case of tanks 2 containing 10 dangerous animals. This control station module consists of two sets of elements in radio and wired contact: either a first set which is a control box 50, and a second set which is the management box 51. [00116] The operator panel can be moved by its wheels, to follow the progress of the treatment along the wall 3 PMMA dry side. This desk has three radio controls, two receivers, and two screens. [00117] The radio control communicates by radio wave with the receiver "processing functions" located in the management box 51 on the platform 20. It allows the operator to manually implement the functions of the submerged and installed modules on the wall 3 in PMMA to be treated. [00118] Its functions are for example the setting in motion of the treatment heads 30 on the three axes more or less quickly, to rotate the thrust propellers 35 and to vary their speed of rotation in order to modify and adjust the thrust generated by them, and the rotation of the polishing plates and the variation of their rotation speed if necessary. The radiocontrol of the medium communicates by radio wave with the receiver "support functions" located in the management box 51 on the platform 20. It allows to manually implement the functions of the Abys_poli_en 3033229 25 module of the platform 20 which supplies the low-voltage direct current, abrasive mixture 40, compressed air and water to the vertical rail (s) and the treatment heads 30. [00120] The functions of the radio remote control are for example the change of position of the pneumatic distributors, the change of position of the purge and return valves, the modification of the pressure in the circuits, and the switching on of the electrical circuits machine. The radio control of the automatic functions communicates by radio wave with the receiver "automatic functions" located in the management box 51 on the platform 20. It allows the operator to trigger phases of automatic operation on the immersed modules and in the platform 20. [00122] The parameter receiver receives the information from the management box 51 by radio wave and displays the following parameters, in real time, on the dedicated screen: the pressure of the compressed air circuits, the pressure of the abrasive mixture supply circuits 40, the level of the tandem tanks, the thrust of the propellers 35, the speed of the polishing platens, the speed of displacement on the (x) and (y) axis, the temperature abrasive mixture 40 in the confinement chamber 31, the temperature of the abrasive mixture 40 in the tanks 21 and 22, the viscosity of the abrasive mixture 40, and the state of the electrical circuits. The video receiver receives the video signals from the management box 51 by radio waves and displays the images on the dedicated screen. This video screen allows the operator to visualize certain anomalies as well as the possible interactions with the living elements of the intervention environment.
    [0014] Abys_poli_en 3033229 26 [00124] The management box 51 is preferably on the platform 20. This is the heart of the control station module. This is where all the information is centralized and exploited. In the illustrated example, the management box 51 has four receivers, two transmitters, and a computer. The control commands, sent by the operator using the radio controls of the console, are received by the receivers of support, processing, automation, located in the management box 51. [00126] treatment receiver communicates directly with the processing module card which will allow to vary the power current of the translation motors of the axis (x) and (y), but also those of the propellers 35 and 15 polishing trays. [00128] The support receiver communicates directly with the support module module or the platform 20 and will allow actuators to operate acting on the compressed air distributors, abrasive mixing 40, and powering the various circuits. The automation receiver communicates with the interface of the computer management box 51. It will take into account the partial or total control of the machine, according to the choice of the operator. [00130] The computer then communicates with the driver cards via the interface. The receiver of the parameters receives by radio or wire link the information coming from the sensors of the various parameters. These sensors are placed at different points of the system depending on whether they indicate pressures, speeds, temperatures, flow rates, etc. The parameter receiver communicates with the computer interface that can use this information when it is operating the machine in automatic mode. Abys_poli_en 3033229 27 [00131] The computer and the interface also communicate the parameters to the transmitter parameters so that the operator can view them on the dedicated screen. The video sensors transmit their signals to the video screen of the control box 50 via the video transmitter. The power supply of the control station will be provided by batteries for the control box 50, and the sector with transformer for the management box 51. All power supplies 10 of power and control advantageously pass through the management box 51.
