Description

Unterwasserfahrzeuge üblicher Bauart (U-Boote, autonome Unterwasserfahrzeuge (AUV)) können nur einen begrenzten Vorrat an Energie während der Unterwasserfahrt mitführen. Dieses begrenzt die Einsatzdauer erheblich.Underwater vehicles more usual Type (submarines, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)) can only a limited supply of energy during the underwater journey carry. This limits the duration of use considerably.

Unterwassereinrichtungen und kabelgebundene Unterwasserfahrzeuge (ROV) sind in der Regel mit einer Versorgungseinrichtung über Wasser dauerhaft verbunden. Dieses vergrößert den Aufwand und mindert die Flexibilität für solche Systeme.Underwater equipment and Cabled Underwater Vehicles (ROV) are usually with a utility over Water permanently connected. This increases the effort and reduces the flexibility for such Systems.

Unterwasserströmungen wie z. B. der Golfstrom bieten mit Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 1.8 m/s gute Möglichkeiten zur Energiegewinnung.Underwater currents like z. B. the Gulf Stream provide with flow rates of up to 1.8 m / s good possibilities for energy production.

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Unterwasserkraftwerk zu schaffen, das die Energieversorgung für Unterwasserfahrzeuge und Unterwassereinrichtungen im getauchten Zustand bewerkstelligt, und nur an dem Unterwasserfahrzeug oder der Unterwassereinrichtung befestigt ist.Of the in claim 1 protection invention is based on the problem to create an underwater power plant that supplies power to underwater vehicles and underwater facilities in the submerged state, and only on the underwater vehicle or underwater facility is attached.

Dieses Problem wird mit dem im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This Problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass ein Unterwasserfahrzeug oder eine Unterwassereinrichtung die benötigte elektrische Energie aus einer Unterwasserströmung mittels eines Unterwasserkraftwerks unabhängig gewinnen kann.With the invention is achieved that an underwater vehicle or a Underwater facility needed electric energy from an underwater current by means of an underwater power plant independently can win.

Das Unterwasserkraftwerk selbst besteht zumindest aus einem axial angeströmten Turbinenrad, welches ein Drehmoment auf ein Getriebe mit Generator überträgt, einem Auftriebskörper und einer Zuleitung zum Unterwasserfahrzeug oder der Unterwassereinrichtung.The Underwater power plant itself consists at least of an axially impinged turbine wheel, which transmits a torque to a gearbox with generator, a buoyancy body and a supply line to the underwater vehicle or the underwater device.

Während des Betriebes des Unterwasserkraftwerks ruht das Unterwasserfahrzeug oder die Unterwassereinrichtung auf dem Boden, oder wird durch ein Anker bzw. Treibanker gehalten.During the Operation of the underwater power plant rests the underwater vehicle or the underwater device on the ground, or is inserted through Anchor or sea anchor held.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 dargestellt. Die optimale Ausrichtung des Unterwasserkraftwerks durch die Haltekabel in der Unterwasserströmung.A advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the protection claim 2 shown. The optimal orientation of the underwater power plant through the retaining cables in the underwater flow.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass das Unterwasserfahrzeug oder die Unterwassereinrichtung eine verlängerte und flexiblere Einsatzdauer hat. Gleichzeitig erhöht sich die Sicherheit (z. B. Notsystem für bemannte U-Boote) bei Verringerung der Kosten da keine Versorgungseinrichtung über Wasser mehr bestehen muss.With the invention is achieved that the underwater vehicle or the Underwater facility a prolonged and more flexible duration of use. At the same time increases the safety (eg emergency system for manned submarines) when reducing the costs because there is no longer a supply device over water.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der 1–3 erläutert. Es zeigt:An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 - 3 explained. It shows:
