Method for connecting two connector parts
A method for connecting a movable connector part to a stationary connector part, the movable part being initially placed on a support and the stationary part being covered by a cap. The method includes gripping the cap by element of a lifting tool ( 10 ); depositing the cap ( 6 ) on the movable part by element of the lifting tool; and transporting the assembly of the cap and movable part onto the stationary part, by element of the lifting tool, in order to connect the stationary part and the movable part ( 4 ) to each other.
1. A method for connecting a movable connector part to a stationary connector part, wherein, initially, the movable part is placed on a support and the stationary part is covered by a cap, the method comprising the following steps:
gripping the cap using a lifting tool;
depositing the cap onto the movable part using the lifting tool; and
transporting, using the lifting tool, the cap—movable part unit onto the stationary part for connecting the stationary part and the movable part to each other,
the stationary part comprising:
a convex external cover having a rotational symmetry; and
a plurality of circular electrical tracks.
2. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the movable part comprises a lower casing having at least one truncated portion and an upper casing having at least one truncated portion, the truncated portion of the lower casing being, at any point, parallel to the truncated portion of the upper casing.
3. The connection method according to claim 1 , comprising a subsequent step of depositing the cap onto the support using the lifting tool.
4. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the stationary part is fixed to a seabed.
5. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the support is fixed to a seabed.
6. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the stationary part is connected to an electric power transmission system.
7. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the movable part is connected to an electric power generator.
8. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the movable part has a concavity designed to cooperate with said external cover.
9. The connection method according to claim 1 , wherein the cap comprises means for receiving a fluid and means for injecting said fluid into at least one duct formed in the movable connector.
