Description

1 1513251 151325

Opfindelsen angår en koblingsmekanisme til at forbinde to tæt ved hinanden anbragte pramme eller lignende fartøjer.The invention relates to a coupling mechanism for connecting two closely spaced barges or similar vessels.

Fra det amerikanske patentskrift nr. 3.494.318 kendes en koblings-5 mekanisme til at forbinde to pramme med hinanden. Sammenkoblingen sker ved hjælp af nogle forholdsvis store blokke af elastisk, bøjeligt materiale, såsom kautsjuk eller formstof, og som strækker sig igennem mellemrummet imellem de to prammes vægge, hvori der findes fordybninger til optagelse af blokkens endestykker. Blokkene 2 151325 er forbundet med hinanden ved hjælp af tværgående tappe, der strækker sig i en retning vinkelret på prammenes længderetning.US Patent No. 3,494,318 discloses a coupling-5 mechanism for connecting two barges with one another. The interconnection is effected by means of some relatively large blocks of elastic, flexible material, such as rubber or plastic, and extending through the space between the two barges' walls, in which there are recesses for accommodating the end pieces of the block. The blocks 2 151325 are connected to each other by means of transverse pins extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the barges.

Fra det amerikanske patentskrift nr. 2.876.726 kendes en koblings-5 mekanisme, hvor der i den ene prams endevag er fastgjort nogle tappe, som er indrettet til at blive indført i huller i den anden prams endevægge og fastholdt i disse ved hjælp af en skyder, som indgriber i rundtgående riller i tappene.US Patent No. 2,876,726 discloses a coupling mechanism in which, in one end of the barge, some pins are arranged which are arranged to be inserted into holes in the end walls of the other barge and retained therein by a slider which engages in circular grooves in the pins.

10 Koblingsmekanismen ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved, at der i en række indbyrdes flugtende bøsninger i to mod hinanden vendende endevægge af prammene er anbragt rette tappe, som hver består af en midterdel, der strækker sig i mellemrummet mellem endevæggene og er af et forholdsvis meget elastisk, bøjeligt materiale, såsom 15 Neopren, og endedele af forholdsvis stift materiale, såsom stål, der er optaget i bøsningerne og fastholdt i disse ved hjælp af udløselige låseorganer.The coupling mechanism according to the invention is characterized in that in a series of mutually bushing bushings in two facing end walls of the barges are arranged straight pins, each consisting of a central part extending in the space between the end walls and being of a relatively very elastic , flexible material, such as 15 Neoprene, and end portions of relatively rigid material such as steel which are accommodated in the bushes and retained therein by releasable locking means.

Denne koblingsmekanisme er enkel og derfor billig at fremstille. Tap-20 pene er let udskiftelige, således at de kan fornys uden store omkostninger, og forbindelsen imellem de to pramme er således, at der både kan overføres store kræfter imellem prammene,og samtidig muliggøres en vis bevægelighed imellem de to sammenkoblede pramme forårsaget af bølgeslaget etc.This coupling mechanism is simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture. The pins are easily interchangeable so that they can be renewed at great cost, and the connection between the two barges is such that both large forces can be transferred between the barges and at the same time allow some movement between the two interconnected barges caused by the wave stroke. etc.

Ved udførelsesformen ifølge krav 2 opnås, at koblingstappene let kan bringes i indgreb med bøsningerne.In the embodiment according to claim 2, it is achieved that the coupling pins can be easily engaged with the bushings.

Krav 3 angiver en hensigtsmæssig udførelsesform for låseorganeme, 30 hvorved låsningen kan tilvejebringes ved hjælp af en forholdsvis ringe bevægelse forårsaget af en mekanisme, der ikke er pladsrøvende.Claim 3 discloses a convenient embodiment of the locking means, whereby the locking can be provided by a relatively small movement caused by a non-space-depriving mechanism.

I det følgende forklares opfindelsen under henvisning til tegnin-35 gen, hvor -fis* 1 viser en række bade koblet sammen ved hjælp af et koblings-apparat ifølge opfindelsen, 3 151325 fig. 2 det samme set fra siden, fig. 3 et koblingsapparat set i perspektiv og i større målestok, 5 fig. en koblingstap set fra siden, fig. 5 et snit efter linien 5-5 i fig· *+ fig. 6 et snit efter linien 6-6 i fig. 1, 10 fig. 7 et snit efter linien 7-7 i fig. 6, og fig. 8 en del af et koblingsapparat set fra siden i snit.In the following, the invention is explained with reference to the drawing, in which -fis * 1 shows a series of baths coupled together by means of a coupling device according to the invention, fig. 2 shows the same side view; FIG.

15 På fig. 1 og 2 er vist en bådrække, som anvender en foretrukken udførelsesform for et koblingsapparat ifølge nærværende opfindelse.15 In FIG. 1 and 2, there is shown a row of boats using a preferred embodiment of a coupling device according to the present invention.

Båderækken indbefatter en drivenhed P og et flertal af tæt forbundne både Bl, B2 og B3. Drivenheden P kan være en almindelig skubbe- el-20 ler trækbåd, og bådene B1-B3 kan være lægtere af sædvanlig konstruktion. Boven af båden P og stævnen af lægteren Bl, boven af denne og stævnen af lægteren B3 og boven af denne og stævnen af lægteren B3 er indbyrdes forbundet ved hjælp af koblingsapparater A ifølge nærværende opfindelse.The boat ridge includes a drive unit P and a plurality of closely connected boats B1, B2 and B3. The drive unit P may be a conventional pushing boat or towing boat, and the boats B1-B3 may be lower legs of conventional construction. The top of the boat P and the bow of the bar B1, the top of it and the bow of the bar B3 and the bow of this and the bow of the bar B3 are interconnected by means of coupling apparatus A according to the present invention.

Koblingsapparatet A indbefatter eftergivelige taporganer, der som helhed er betegnet med 10, komplementære fatningsorganer, der som helhed er betegnet med 12, fastgjort til boven og stævnen af bådene og låseorganer, der som helhed er betegnet med l^f vist i fig. 6-8, 30 som udløselig holder i modsatte ender af tappene 10 i fatningerne 12. Den eftergivelige natur af tappene 10 tillader dem at bøje, og derved optage relative bevægelser imellem de forbundne både, men overføre , tryk- og trækkræfter fra den ene båd til den anden. 1The coupling apparatus A includes resilient tap members as a whole denoted by 10, complementary socket members as a whole denoted by 12, attached to the top and stern of the boats, and locking means denoted as a whole by Figs. 6-8, 30 which releasably hold at opposite ends of the pins 10 of the sockets 12. The resilient nature of the pins 10 allows them to bend, thereby absorbing relative movements between the connected boats, but transferring, compressive and pulling forces from one boat. to the other. 1

Taporganerne 10 er i henhold til fig. *+ og 5 dannet af et cylindrisk legeme 20 af bøjeligt materiale, men i stand til at overføre tryk- og trækkræfter af stor størrelse. Et passende bøjeligt materiale er Neopren. Andre materialer kan anvendes. Stift forbundet med forenden og bagenden af det cylindriske legeme 20 er en fronthætte 22 4 151325 og en baghætte 2h udformet af et stift, slidstærkt materiale, såsom stål. Delen af hætterne 22 og 2b, som er tilsluttet enderne af cylinderen 20, er af hovedsagelig kugleform og danner nogle hoveder 26 og 28. De mellemliggende dele af hætterne er udformet som en ringformet rille, der er betegnet med 30, 32.According to FIG. * + and 5 formed by a cylindrical body 20 of flexible material, but capable of transmitting large-scale compressive and tensile forces. A suitable flexible material is Neoprene. Other materials may be used. Rigidly connected to the front and rear ends of the cylindrical body 20 is a front cap 22 4 151325 and a back cap 2h formed of a rigid, durable material such as steel. The portion of the caps 22 and 2b, which are connected to the ends of the cylinder 20, is of mainly spherical shape and forms some heads 26 and 28. The intermediate portions of the caps are formed as an annular groove designated by 30, 32.

5 Fatningsorganerne 12 er ens for samtlige både og er anbragt på boven og stævnen af hver af de forbundne både. Hvert fatningselement har et hylster IfO, hvis ydre del er svejset til væggen af båden omkring et hul b2 i denne væg. Hullet b2 er større end hylsterets diameter, og hylsteret er udformet som en tragt og forbundet med den 10 pågældende væg. Den indre ende af hver fatning er kugleformet hovedsagelig svarende til hovederne 26 og 28. En åbning kb findes i den øvre overflade af hylsteret *f0 i lodret flugt med låserillen 30, 32 på tappene 10.The socket means 12 are the same for all boats and are located on the top and bow of each of the connected boats. Each socket member has a casing IfO, the outer part of which is welded to the wall of the boat around a hole b2 in this wall. The hole b2 is larger than the diameter of the casing and the casing is formed as a funnel and connected to the wall in question. The inner end of each socket is spherical, substantially similar to heads 26 and 28. An opening kb is located in the upper surface of the casing * f0 in vertical alignment with the lock groove 30, 32 on the pins 10.

Låseorganerne l*f er ens for alle bådene. De indbefatter en vandret 15 låsestang 5°, der ligger ud for åbningerne kb i samtlige hylstre ^0. Ikke viste lejer bærer drejelig denne stang 50 til drejning omkring dens længdeakse. En sådan drejning kan udføres ved hjælp af en almindelig hydraulisk cylinder 5b, hvis stempelstang er drejeligt 2Q forbundet med en arm 56. Den anden ende af armen 56 er stift forbundet med stangen 50 som vist på fig. 7* Låsestangen 5° er forsynet med et par flader 58 og 60.The locking means l * f are the same for all the boats. They include a horizontal 5 locking bar 5 ° which is adjacent to the openings kb in all casings 50. Bearings not shown rotatably carry this rod 50 for rotation about its longitudinal axis. Such a rotation can be carried out by means of an ordinary hydraulic cylinder 5b, the piston rod of which is rotatably 2Q connected to an arm 56. The other end of the arm 56 is rigidly connected to the rod 50 as shown in FIG. 7 * The locking bar 5 ° is provided with a pair of faces 58 and 60.

I den viste udførelsesform findes der fire tappe 10 og fire tilsva-rende fatninger 12 for hvert koblingsapparat, men antallet kan varie-res tilpasset størrelsen af bådene. Også tappens konstruktion kan varieres. F.eks. kan det cylindriske legeme 20 være rørformet.In the embodiment shown, there are four pins 10 and four corresponding sockets 12 for each coupling device, but the number can be varied according to the size of the boats. Also the design of the pin can be varied. Eg. For example, the cylindrical body 20 may be tubular.

Sædvanligvis vil den ene ende af tappen 10 være anbragt i stævnen af den ene båd, f.eks. lægteren B2, der er vist i fig. 6. På dette 30 tidspunkt vil frontenden 2b være låset i den tilsvarende fatning ved hjælp af låsestangen 50, idet denne befinder sig i den stilling, der er vist i fig. 6 med fladerne 58 og 60 dannende en vinkel med tappen 10's længdeakse. Med tappene 10 ragende ud fra bagenden af lægteren Bl, vil båden P blive bevæget hen imod stævnen af lægteren 35Usually, one end of the pin 10 will be placed in the bow of one boat, e.g. the bar B2 shown in FIG. 6. At this point, the front end 2b will be locked in the corresponding socket by the locking rod 50, being in the position shown in FIG. 6 with the faces 58 and 60 forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the pin 10. With the pins 10 projecting from the rear of the barge B1, the boat P will be moved towards the bow of the barge 35

Bl,og bagenden af tappene 10 vil blive indført i fatningerne 12 på båden P. Under indføringen vil den hydrauliske cylinder 5b i 151325 5 båden P være anbragt i den stilling, der er vist i fig. 8, således at fladerne 58 og 60 på låsestangen 5o befhder sig i vandret stilling og derved uden for lysningen i hylsteret *+0, således at den ikke er nogen hindring for indføringen af tappene. Når hætterne 22 5 på tappene 10 er fuldstændig indført i deres hylstre *f0, bliver den hydrauliske cylinder 5b i båden P aktiveret, således at låsestangen 50 drejes til den stilling, der er vist i fig. 6. Derved drejes låsestangen ind i rillerne 30 og fastlåser tappene 10 i hylstrene bO.B1, and the rear end of the pins 10 will be inserted into the sockets 12 of the boat P. During the introduction, the hydraulic cylinder 5b in the boat P will be placed in the position shown in FIG. 8, so that the surfaces 58 and 60 of the locking rod 5o are in a horizontal position, and thus outside the illumination in the casing * + 0, so that it does not impede the insertion of the pins. When the caps 22 5 of the pins 10 are fully inserted into their casings * f0, the hydraulic cylinder 5b of the boat P is actuated so that the locking rod 50 is rotated to the position shown in FIG. 6. In this way, the locking rod is rotated into the grooves 30 and locks the pins 10 in the casings b0.

Med tappene 10 fastholdt i deres respektive fatninger kan de overføre tryk- og trækkræfter imellem·slæbebåden P og lægteren Bl, imellem denne og lægteren B2 og imellem denne og lægteren B3· På grund af den eftergivelige natur af tappene 10 kan de enkelte både i rækken frit foretage relative bevægelser frembragt ved hjælp af vind og bølger.With the pins 10 retained in their respective sockets they can transmit compressive and tensile forces between the · tug P and the barge B1, between this and the barge B2 and between this and the barge B3 · Due to the resilient nature of the pins 10, the individual boats can freely make relative movements produced by wind and waves.

15 6 Når det ønskes at fjerne en af lægterne i rækken, påvirkes låseorganerne 1*+ enten på den pågældende lægte eller på en ved siden af værende lægte, således at låsestangen 50 drejes til sh udløsestilling 20 ifølge fig. 8. Tappene 10, som er anbragt i fatningerne, kan derefter frit trækkes ud. Anbringelsen af låseorganer l^f i hver ende af hver lægter tillader ikke alene fleksibilitet i virkemåden i forhold til enden af bådene, hvorfra tappene fjernes, men gør det desuden simpelt at foretage enhver nødvendig erstatning af tappe 10.6 When it is desired to remove one of the laths in the row, the locking means 1 * + are actuated either on the lath in question or on one next to the lath, so that the latching rod 50 is turned to sh release position 20 according to FIG. 8. The pins 10, which are placed in the sockets, can then be freely pulled out. The placement of locking means 1 at each end of each lath not only allows flexibility in the operation of the end of the boats from which the pins are removed, but also makes it simple to make any necessary replacement of pins 10.

2525

Hvis det ønskes, kan der anvendes liner imellem bådene i lægterrækken. Der kan også være passende væske og/eller elektriske ledninger mellem bådene for at muliggøre, at væske og/eller elektricitet kan overføres fra slædebåden P til lægterne, når disse kobles til 30 rækken.If desired, lines can be used between the boats in the row of boats. There may also be appropriate fluid and / or electrical wiring between the boats to allow fluid and / or electricity to be transferred from the sledge boat P to the rafters when coupled to the rows.
