Abstract

A head light or searchlight (10) mounted on the deck of a ship may be moved in the horizontal and vertical directions by a pair of electrical servo motors (11,12). The motors receive control signals froma computer (14) that has measured inputs for pitch,yaw and roll. When the light command position input is applied (15) corrections are made to hold the beam in a stable position.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Ausrichten eines optischen Gerätes (Scheinwerfer, Suchscheinwerfer, Kamera, Suchkamera) auf Schiffen, aufweisend einen elektromechanischen Antrieb für die Verschwenkung des Gerätes in horizontaler und vertikaler Richtung und eine Betätigungseinrichtung in der Art einer Tastatur für die Ausrichtung des Gerätes auf eine zu erfassende oder zu beleuchtende, sich nicht auf dem Deck des Schiffes befindliche Stelle. The invention relates to a device for aligning an optical Devices (headlights, searchlights, cameras, search cameras) on ships, having an electromechanical drive for pivoting the Device in the horizontal and vertical directions and an actuator in the manner of a keyboard for the orientation of the device to be detected or location to be illuminated that is not on the deck of the ship.

Suchscheinwerfer an Bord von Schiffen dienen dazu, einen Gegenstand oder auch eine Person zu beleuchten, der bzw. die über Bord gegangen ist. Zu diesem Zweck muss der Scheinwerfer mit seinem Kegel auf die zu beleuchtende Stelle ausgerichtet werden, was eine gewisse Fertigkeit verlangt, weil das Schiff sich einerseits weiterbewegt und durch den Seegang Eigenbewegungen um drei räumliche Achsen ausführt. Searchlights on board ships serve to find an object or to also illuminate a person who has gone overboard. To For this purpose, the headlamp with its cone must face the illuminating area, which requires a certain skill, because on the one hand the ship continues to move and through the swell Performs own movements around three spatial axes.

Hier nun setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an und will eine solche Vorrichtung schaffen, mit deren Hilfe ein optisches Gerät auf ein Objekt außerhalb des Schiffes unabhängig von der Fahrt, der Fahrtrichtung des Schiffes und dem herrschenden Seegang ausgerichtet werden kann. This is where the present invention comes in and wants such a device create with the help of an optical device on an object outside the Ship regardless of the voyage, the direction of travel of the ship and the prevailing seas can be aligned.

Erreicht wird dies durch eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, bei der ein Messgerät für die Fahrt und die Fahrtrichtung des Schiffes vorgesehen ist, das Signal an einen Rechner ausgibt; ein Messgerät für die Relativbewegung des Schiffes durch Rollen, Stampfen und Schlingern bezüglich der zu erfassenden oder zu beleuchtenden Stelle vorgesehen ist und Signale an den Rechner ausgibt, eine Rückkopplung vorgesehen ist, die die tatsächliche Position des Scheinwerfers über Signale dem Rechner vermittelt, und dass der Rechner zwischen der Betätigungseinrichtung und den elektromechanischen Antrieben angeschlossen ist und an diese korrigierte Signale ausgibt. This is achieved by a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which a measuring device is provided for the journey and the direction of travel of the ship, outputs the signal to a computer; a measuring device for the relative movement of the ship by rolling, pounding and lurching with respect to the detecting or illuminating point is provided and signals to the Computer outputs a feedback that is the actual Position of the headlight communicated to the computer via signals, and that the Computer between the actuator and the electromechanical Drives is connected and outputs corrected signals to them.

Bei der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung braucht eine Bedienungsperson einen Scheinwerfer beispielsweise über die Tastatur lediglich auf eine bestimmte Stelle auszurichten, etwa in der Art wie dies bisher auch getan wurde. Durch Messwerterfassungen und Datenverarbeitungen werden jedoch die elektromechanischen Antriebe für den Scheinwerfer so gesteuert, dass der Scheinwerferkegel auf diese Stelle ausgerichtet bleibt, und zwar ohne dass die Bedienungsperson irgendwelche weiteren Tätigkeiten vornehmen müsste. In the device according to the invention an operator needs a headlight, for example, only on the keyboard to align a specific position, for example in the way it has done so far has been. However, through data acquisition and data processing the electromechanical drives for the headlights are controlled so that the Headlight cone remains aligned at this point without the Operator would have to do any other work.

Unter einem optischen Gerät ist hier ein Scheinwerfer, Suchscheinwerfer, eine Kamera, eine Videokamera oder dergl. zu verstehen. Under an optical device here is a headlight, searchlight, one To understand camera, a video camera or the like.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert. The invention is described below with reference to the drawing, for example explained.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt die Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung rein schematisch. The only figure of the drawing shows the device according to the invention purely schematically.

Mit 10 ist der Scheinwerfer bezeichnet und durch Pfeile 9 ist angedeutet, dass dieser sowohl in horizontaler als auch in vertikaler Richtung verschwenkt werden kann. Die entsprechenden horizontalen und vertikalen Schwenkbewegungen werden über Antriebe 11 und 12 eingeleitet, die ihre Steilsignale von einem Rechner 14 erhalten. Diejenige Stelle, die der Scheinwerfer 10beleuchten soll, gibt die Bedienungsperson über eine Betätigungseinrichtung oder Tastatur 15 ein. The headlight is designated by 10 and arrows 9 indicate that it can be pivoted both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction. The corresponding horizontal and vertical swivel movements are initiated via drives 11 and 12 , which receive their steep signals from a computer 14 . The operator enters the location to be illuminated by the headlight 10 via an actuating device or keyboard 15 .

Am Scheinwerfer 10 ist ein Istwertgeber angebracht, der über eine Leitung 13 mit dem Rechner 14 verbunden ist und der Rückkopplung dient. An actual value transmitter is attached to the headlight 10 and is connected to the computer 14 via a line 13 and is used for feedback.

Mit 16 ist eine Signaleingangsleitung eines Datenerfassungssystems für die Fahrt und die Fahrtrichtung des Schiffes bezeichnet. Mit 17 ist die entsprechende Eingabe bezeichnet, die dem Rechner mitteilt, in welcher Weise sich der Scheinwerfer zufolge des Seegangs in seiner Lage verändert. 16 denotes a signal input line of a data acquisition system for the journey and the direction of travel of the ship. 17 denotes the corresponding input, which informs the computer of the manner in which the position of the headlight changes as a result of the swell.

Durch die Sollvorgabe an der Tastatur 15 wird der Scheinwerfer auf die gewünschte Position ausgerichtet und über die Messwerterfassung 16 und 17 sowie das Feedback 13 wird der Scheinwerfer in dieser bewussten Position gehalten, und zwar vollkommen unabhängig davon, wie sich das Schiff in Bezug auf die auszuleuchtende Stelle bewegt. The target setting on the keyboard 15 aligns the headlight to the desired position and the measured value acquisition 16 and 17 and the feedback 13 keep the headlight in this conscious position, regardless of how the ship relates to the one to be illuminated Spot moves.
