Description

(54) Equipment for the transport of vessels, especially ships

The invention relates to a device for the transport of vessels, for example ships, tugs, containers, bags, rafts, between two navigational channels or in the replacement of locks on waterways, between the canal and the race, respectively in maritime transport.

Drive-built waterways overcome differences in height by the lock chamber β opening gate, alternately filled and unloaded together with the means of transport, ship, cost and difficulty of these constructions, especially to overcome larger height differences, long time of filling and draining chambers, considerable consumption otherwise not used These are mainly water lifts, which are either vertical, where the rectangular tub seduces and the boat is lifted to the appropriate level by the mechanisms, or oblique, where the boat in the tub with water falls even beside water, it transports on a special chassis along an inclined track from one reservoir to another, but Patc's high performance and relatively reliable devices are difficult to build a concrete track, address door tightness, and in particular to solve the correct movement when starting and stopping. as water and ships multiply dynamic effects and greatly complicate these phases of movement. In principle, simple known devices with no water transport are practically difficult to implement in practice for different types of boat and tugboats.

For large dimensions of ships and overcoming greater distances is also known to transport boats in the pool running on the track.This for certain conditions advantageous way, but requires track and high load capacity, massive and rugged pool chassis, while maintaining the same dynamic and hydrauliokýoh problems as with lifts.

The essence of the vessel transport device according to the invention consists in that it consists of a supporting structure provided with a resilient bottom below which a positive pressure gas is held, preferably adjustable, so that the bottom ae alternately raises and surrounds the lo5 instead of water and drops so The gas under the flexible bottom, in other areas of the constructor, with a lower density than the air, such as helium or warm air, lends the device a buoyancy as with airships.

The device according to the invention takes advantage of the existing hoists and pool conveyors and removes its significant disadvantages, especially dynamic and hydraulic problems. Because of the transport without water, the weight of the device is greatly reduced and thus the cost of building the transport track and movement mechanisms is significant. weight reduction for transport on the rail transport prilolp, allowing movement of 1 on less bearing soils, which can be successfully used in the undermined area of Ostrava region when connecting metallurgical plants with waterways.

Figure 1 shows a possible embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which Fig. 1 represents a slant elevation with a conveying path; Fig. 2 shows a cross section of a lift with a continuous elastic bottom; Fig. 3 cross section with a divided elastic bottom; 5 shows the transport wagon when overcoming the terrain wave, FIG. 6 the wagon entering the channel, FIG. 7 the transport wagon on the overhead track when overcoming obstacles.

The car 1 moving on the carriages 4, for example the rack rail 2, is provided with a flexible bottom 8, shaped by an internal overpressure of the gas, for example helium or air. at the bottom 8, of the vehicle 8, the bottom 8 is angled between the two inner parts 11.12 of the vehicle support structure 2 'so that together with the part 11 it forms an airtight space with one elastic wall. This contributes to the stability of the boat 2. In the continuous floor, it is possible to use the bottom formed by the individual parts 22 of the shape of, for example, a spherical ellipsoid, an ellipsoid or a roll. To reduce the immersion depth of the wagon 2 when starting out of the boats 2 and to facilitate the start of the wagon 1, it is possible to change the gas pressure below the bottom jg so that it changes its position. a storage space 5, bound to the wagon 2 by anchors 5, which is connected by a main line 13 via a main valve 19. a compressor 21, a distribution line 15 and a chamber valve

200 574 with space below, bottom 8.Control of chamber valves 16 and compressor 14 can be automatic, according to the program * Selected overpressure according to the load of the ship 2 and its distribution into individual chambers according to load balance, 10 are formed by a carrier layer 23 of, for example, fiberglass or steel ropes, vulcanized between rubber or PTC layers 22, prevented from damage to the outside by an oel mesh 21 or a flexible steel sheet or plastic. The steel mesh 23 is covered with an anticorrosive elastic layer. 20. Other materials with sufficient strength and flexibility may also be used for the entire bottom 8 or bottom portions 10j.

When transporting over a wave wave between two water oestras, the wagon 1 is provided with a bogie consisting of conventional rail wheels 25 mounted in a swinging suspension 26. The wheel drive is made by a hydraulic fluid engine obtained by a diselagregate or electric motor powered from the overhead contact line 29. Entire set It can move on a rail track of the conventional type, with the rails 27.28 on both sides being descending on the descent into the channel. The direction of rotation of the wheels 25 can also be reversible, as required, since a certain immersion of the wagon 1 results in relief and loss of contact with the rails due to buoyancy.

In order to overcome the arterial arteries, built-up areas, or historical monuments, the support structure 30 may be shaped so that it can move on pulleys 32.33 that engage the bridge structure. due to the load on the ship, which would stabilize the rig against the effects of wind, which is a major problem in the airborne water, on the other hand, the bridge structure 31 could be all the more simple and thus relatively inexpensive,

According vanálezu is considered with an alternative solution of the structure 30 as overseas ships P ^rc boat traffic, for example říčných 2 »where there will be greater economic effect than when transporting container.

The device according to the invention operates in this way. It enters the labyrinth of the lashing area here with the ropes 11. In the space below the flexible bottom 8, its parts 10 eventually start to scrub gas compressor 14, or The bulk of the water content was pushed out of the carriage compartment by day 8.10. The rest of the leak® when the car starts to move 2 · Ιλ® 2 is ^thus transported without water, on a separate gas The start and stop speeds may be considerable. After completion of transport, when connected to the β water space, for example, the 6, the gas under the flexible bottom 8,10 will be evacuated, so this decreases and frees up the # # · liquid that acts on the ICS. to the extent that a sufficient distance is formed between it and the ship 2, so that when the ship 2 ^{2 of the} wagon 2 cannot be damaged, its elasticity is such that, when carrying the ship, there is no damage to the propeller and rudder,

200 574? The railroad-type carriage is driven by the Silme de aroma of both canals & the eCycle® is similar, supporting the weight of the transported water β overloading aehopaoet gas with a lower weight than vsduoh whose suitable shaped spaces can be effortless. of the conventional type.

taking advantage of this advantage, the principle of the same for «weighing« to overcome difficult obstacles »when the entire Tsy set could move over the terrain at the necessary height on the bridge track» Bridgewater systems are very advantageous. Confltraction problems are already "state-of-the-art" in the art, when they are designed to carry 1000 tons of lifting capacity. The loading and unloading of the ship could be carried out directly on the boat, since the stability of the boat is guaranteed in individual chambers below the flexible wasp bottom
