Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rettungsvorrichtung zur Verminderung der Sinkgefahr an Schiffen oder ähnlichen Schwimmkörpern.The invention relates to a rescue device for reducing the risk of sinking on ships or similar floating bodies.

Bislang ist es zur Verminderung der Sinkgefahr von Schiffen, schwimmfähigen Bohrinseln oder diesen ähnlichen hohlen Schwimmkörpern bekannt, letztere durch Schotte in wasserdichte Abteilungen aufzuteilen, damit bei leckgeschlagener Schiffsaußenhaut nicht der gesamte Schwimmkörper, sondern lediglich die durch die Schotte abgedichtete Abteilung geflutet wird, in deren Bereich sich das Leck befindet.So far, it has been known to reduce the risk of sinking of ships, floating drilling rigs or these similar hollow floats, to partition the latter into bulkheads using bulkheads, so that when the outer shell of the ship is leaking, not the entire floating body but rather the compartment sealed by the bulkheads is flooded in the area there is a leak.

Dies bedingt aber, daß die in den Schotten angeordneten Türen zuvor geschlossen worden sind, damit die Schotten auch wirksam werden können.However, this means that the doors arranged in the bulkheads have previously been closed, so that the bulkheads can also take effect.

Hierzu fehlt aber oft die Zeit dafür. Darüber hinaus führen leckgeschlagene und geflutete Schiffsabteilungen zur erheblichen Verminderung der Auftriebskraft und erhöhen auch die Kentergefahr, so daß derartige Maßnahmen die Sinkgefahr des Schiffes zwar vermindern, aber in allen Fällen das Sinken eines Schiffes nicht verhindern können.However, there is often not enough time for this. In addition, leaked and flooded ship departments lead to a significant reduction in buoyancy and also increase the risk of capsizing, so that such measures reduce the risk of the ship sinking, but in all cases cannot prevent a ship from sinking.

In jenen Fällen muß dann das sinkende Schiff oder ähnliche Schwimmkörper aufgegeben werden, woraus unter anderem vielfach Umweltschäden, zum Beispiel durch auslaufende Öle, und/oder Versperrungen von Seewegen resultieren. Hinzu kommen dann noch die Probleme zur Rettung der auf den Schiffen befindlichen Personen, wozu die bekannten Personen-Rettungssysteme, wie zum Beispiel Schwimmwesten, Retungsboote, Rettungsinseln usw. in vielen Fällen keine Gewähr für die Rettung bieten, insbesondere dann, wenn die Rettungssysteme nicht rechtzeitig angelegt bzw. nicht rechtzeitig zu Wasser gebracht worden sind.In those cases, the sinking ship or similar floating body must then be abandoned, which in many cases results in environmental damage, for example due to oil spills, and / or obstruction of sea routes. In addition, there are the problems of rescuing the people on board the ships, for which the well-known people rescue systems, such as life jackets, rescue boats, life rafts, etc. in many cases do not guarantee rescue, especially if the rescue systems do not come on time moored or not brought to water on time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, eine Rettungsvorrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Art derart zu verbessern, daß mit relativ einfachen und raumsparenden Mitteln eine über die mit bekannten Rettungsmaßnahmen erzielbare Möglichkeit hinausgehende Verminderung der Sinkgefahr eines Schiffes oder dergleichen sowie eine erhebliche Erhöhung der Überlebenschancen der auf den Schiffen befindlichen Personen erreichbar ist.The object of the invention is now to provide a rescue device in the preamble of award 1 to be improved in such a way that with relatively simple and space-saving means a reduction in the risk of sinking of a ship or the like, which can be achieved with known rescue measures, and a considerable increase in the chances of survival of the people on the ships can be achieved.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß im Schiff oder dergleichen bei Auftriebsverlust dessen mit Luft oder anderen gasförmigen Medien druckbeaufschlagbare und so in ihren Volumen vergrößerbare Verdrängerräume angeordnet sind, daß diese den Auftriebsverlust des Schiffes oder dergleichen ausgleichen.The solution to this problem is characterized in that in the ship or the like in the event of loss of buoyancy the displaceable pressurizable air or other gaseous media and such that their volume can be increased are arranged such that these compensate for the loss of buoyancy of the ship or the like.

Hierdurch ist es erstmalig möglich, Schiffe aller Art, wassernde Flugzeuge, Bohrinseln, schwimmfähige Fabriken, Container und andere als Hohlkörper ausgebildete Schwimmkörper trotz Verlust der ursprünglichen Auftriebs- - kraft unsinkbar zu machen und somit das Schiff oder dergleichen selbst zu retten.This makes it possible for the first time to make all types of ships, watering airplanes, oil rigs, floating factories, containers and other floating bodies designed as hollow bodies unsinkable despite loss of the original buoyancy force and thus to save the ship or the like itself.

Dadurch erhöht sich auch die Überlebenschance für die auf den Schiffen befindlichen Personen, weil ein erfindungsgemäß ausgerüstetes Schiff eher den Anforderungen an Seetüchtigkeit als bekannte Personenrettungseinrichtungen gerecht wird. Zudem muß das Schiff selbst auch nicht mehr verlassen werden. Darüber hinaus ist das Schiff wesentlich einfacher und schneller auffindbar als zum Beispiel Rettungsboote oder im Wasser befindliche Personen. Außerdem erleichtern die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen die Bergung des Schiffes erheblich.This also increases the chance of survival for the people on the ships because a ship equipped according to the invention is more likely to meet the requirements for seaworthiness than known person rescue devices. In addition, the ship itself no longer has to be left. In addition, the ship is much easier and faster to find than lifeboats or people in the water. In addition, the proposed measures make recovery of the ship considerably easier.

Dabei ist der Raumbedarf für die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen zur Rettung des Schiffes selbst verschwindend gering, da das Volumen der Verdrängerräume erst im Bedarfsfalle zu vergrößern ist und der dafür erforderliche Raum im Normalfalle für andere Zwecke genutzt werden kann.The space required for the proposed measures to rescue the ship itself is negligibly small, since the volume of the displacement rooms can only be increased if necessary and the space required for this can normally be used for other purposes.

Die in ihrem Volumen vergrößerbaren Verdrängerräume können aber auch im Normalfalle, also auch bei Vorhandensein der ursprünglichen Auftriebskraft, zum Beispiel zur Festlegung der Schiffsladung, genutzt werden, derart, daß der freie Laderaum eines Schiffes durch die Verdrängerräume ausgefüllt wird.The displacer rooms, which can be enlarged in volume, can also be used in normal cases, ie also in the presence of the original buoyancy, for example to determine the ship's cargo, in such a way that the free cargo space of a ship is filled through the displacement spaces.

Bei Passagierschiffen können die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen unter anderem in den Laufgängen, Aufenthaltsräumen usw. so angeordnet werden, daß diese im Bedarffalle den ursprünglich vorhandenen Raum zwar einengen, aber noch Fluchtwege freilassen.In the case of passenger ships, the proposed measures can be arranged, inter alia, in the gangways, common rooms, etc. in such a way that, if necessary, they narrow the originally available space, but still leave escape routes open.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß die vorgenannten Rettungseinrichtungen im Normalfall die Seetüchtigkeit und Manöverierfähigkeit des Schiffes nicht behindern.Another advantage is that the aforementioned rescue facilities do not normally hinder the seaworthiness and maneuverability of the ship.

Die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen erlauben aber auch eine vorbeugende, abgestufte Auslösung. Zudem ist eine erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene Nachrüstung von Schiffen oder dergleichen möglich.The proposed measures also allow preventive, gradual triggering. In addition, retrofitting of ships or the like proposed according to the invention is possible.

Bei alledem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn mehrere Verdrängerräume über das Schiff oder derdergleichen so verteilt angeordnet sind, daß eine stabile Schwimmlage erreichbar ist.In all of this, it is advantageous if a plurality of displacement spaces are arranged so as to be distributed over the ship or the like in such a way that a stable swimming position can be achieved.

Hierzu ist es förderlich, wenn die Verdrängerräume voneinander unabhängig mit Druckluft oder anderen gasförmigen Medien beaufschlagbar sind.It is beneficial if the Ver compressed air or other gaseous media can be supplied independently of each other.

Eine besonders einfach zu montierende und preiswert herstellbare Ausgestaltung des vorbeschriebenen Gegenstandes besteht darin, daß als Verdrängerräume flexible, aufblasbare Behälter vorgesehen sind.A particularly easy to assemble and inexpensive to manufacture design of the above-described object is that flexible, inflatable containers are provided as displacement spaces.

Eine unter Umständen bevorzugte Variante kennzeichnet sich dadurch, daß im Schiffskörper an stationären Schiffswänden raumsparend anliegende und wahlweise von diesen weg verstellbare sowie mit stationären Schiffswänden Verdrängerräume bildbare formfeste Trennwände angeordnet sind.A variant which is preferred under certain circumstances is characterized in that dimensionally stable dividing walls are arranged in the hull on stationary ship walls in a space-saving manner and optionally adjustable away therefrom and which can be formed with stationary ship walls.

Dabei ist es möglich, die verstellbaren Schiffswände mittels dahinter angeordneter aufblasbarer Behälter zu verstellen.It is possible to adjust the adjustable ship walls by means of inflatable containers arranged behind them.

Eine weitere Variante kennzeichnet sich dadurch, daß die verstellbaren Schiffswände umfangsseitig an dazu quergerichteten stationären Wänden dichtschließend abstützend angeordnet sind, und daß der von letzteren umgrenzte Raum selbst, zum Beispiel mit Druckluft beaufschlagtwird. Besonders zur Festlegung des Ladegutes, beispielsweise Schüttgut im Laderaum mittels der im Volumen vergrößerbaren Verdrängerräume ist es vorteilhaft, wenn den verstellbaren Schiffswänden hydraulische Stellorgane zugeordnet sind.A further variant is characterized in that the adjustable ship walls are arranged so as to provide sealing support in a circumferential manner on stationary walls transverse to it, and in that the space delimited by the latter itself is acted upon, for example, by compressed air. In particular for fixing the cargo, for example bulk goods in the cargo space by means of the displacer spaces which can be enlarged in volume, it is advantageous if the adjustable ship walls are assigned hydraulic actuators.

Auch die Anwendung anderer motorischer, zum Beispiel elektromotorischer Stellorgane ist möglich. Das zur Vergrößerung der Verdrängerräume erforderliche Druckgas kann in extrem komprimierter Form, zum Beispiel in Stahlflaschen, gespeichert werden.The use of other motorized, for example electromotive, actuators is also possible. The compressed gas required to enlarge the displacement spaces can be stored in extremely compressed form, for example in steel bottles.

Zusätzlich oder anstelle dessen, können auch druckgaserzeugende Arbeitsmaschinen vorgesehen werden.In addition or instead of this, pressurized gas generating machines can also be provided.

Die Steuerung der Verdrängerräume zu deren Volumenvergrößerung, aber auch zum Rückstellen in die ursprüngliche, raumsparende Lage, kann manuell erfolgen.The displacement rooms can be controlled manually to increase their volume, but also to reset them to their original, space-saving position.

Bevorzugter Weise sollte zusätzlich aber auch eine von Sensoren beeinflußte, bei Gefahr selbsttätig wirksame Verdrängerraum-Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen werden, wobei die Sensoren, zum Beispiel auf Wasser, auf Wasserdruck, Gaskonzentrationen, auf eine annormale Schiffslage und/oder auf andere Parameter reagieren könnten.Preferably, however, a displacement control device influenced by sensors and automatically effective in the event of danger should also be provided, the sensors being able to react, for example to water, to water pressure, gas concentrations, to an abnormal ship position and / or to other parameters.

Die Auslösung der Stellorgane kann mechanisch, chemisch, elektrisch, elektronisch und/oder hydraulisch erfolgen.The actuators can be triggered mechanically, chemically, electrically, electronically and / or hydraulically.

Die vorbeschriebenen Maßnahmen erlauben aber auch zum Beispiel bei brennenden Schiffen oder dergleichen diese zunächst mehr oder weniger zu fluten, um das Feuer zu löschen und alsdann durch Volumenvergrößerung der Verdrängerräume, wobei das in den Schiffskörper eingedrungene Wasser verdrängt wird, das Schiff erneut in die normale Schwimmlage zu bringen.However, the measures described above also allow, for example in the case of burning ships or the like, to flood them first to a greater or lesser extent in order to extinguish the fire and then, by increasing the volume of the displacement spaces, displacing the water which has penetrated into the hull, the ship once again into the normal floating position bring to.

Hierzu ist es förderlich, den Steuerorganen Fernbedienungsmöglichkeiten zuzuordnen.To do this, it is helpful to assign remote control options to the control units.
