Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with a device on ships for lowering buoy stations or corresponding apparatuses or apparatus assemblies, such as marine research equipment, overboard into the sea and for lifting them on board, the said device being fitted in proximity of the shell plating of the ship and a wire or rope operated by the winch of the ship being used in connection with the said device, by means of which wire or rope the lowering and lifting of the said apparatuses is performed.
  • a buoy station is an apparatus assembly used in marine research, in which, e.g., measurement apparatuses for marine research are attached to the wire or rope between the anchor and the carrying buoy.
  • buoy stations and other corresponding apparatuses are handled on ships by means of various davits, the wire or rope coming from the winch of the ship running through the blocks attached to the said davits.
  • the apparatus to be moved e.g. a part of a buoy station
  • the apparatus By pivoting the davit outwards beyond the side or stern of the ship and by at the same time unwinding the wire from the winch, the apparatus is shifted to outside the ship.
  • the apparatus is lowered into the sea. The lifting takes place in the reversed sequence in the same way.
  • the wire is usually passed from the winch to the davit via or above the working deck. A considerable length of the wire is unprotected, and a breaking of the wire causes a great danger for the persons working on the deck.
  • the attaching of the meters and other apparatuses takes place near the open edge of the deck.
  • the work requires lifting and supporting of heavy apparatuses.
  • the wire to be handled moves relative the ship, and it may have a high tension.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a novel device for the purposes of use mentioned above, by means of which device it is possible to substitute for the use of davits and to avoid the said drawbacks and risk factors occurring in connection with the use of davits.
  • the invention is mainly characterized in
  • the shifting of loads overboard is considerably better controlled. There is no movement similar to the pendulum motion taking place between the support legs of a conventional davit.
  • the wire can be passed from the winch of the ship to the plane pivoting platform as protected, e.g., through the deck or in troughs placed on the deck.
  • the pivoting platform is in the upper position, it is also possible to pass the wire to the pulley of the pivoting platform as protected.
  • the attaching of the apparatuses to the wire takes place in the advantageous working position placed at an appropriate level, wherein the apparatuses to be attached to the wire rest on the substantially horizontal pivoting platform.
  • the wire passing into the sea is attached to the ship preferably by means of a brake or some other, corresponding device, e.g., by the intermediate of the pivoting platform, so that the wire placed on the pivoting platform is free from tensions.
  • the device shown in the figures mainly comprises a plane pivoting platform 10, which is provided with vertical sides 11a and 11b at both longitudinal edges.
  • a roll 13 is attached rotably by means of shafts 15 to one edge of the pivoting platform 10, and a pulley 21 is journalled to the opposite edge of the platform 10.
  • the pivoting platform 10 is fitted in connection with the deck of the ship as pivotable on vertical flanges 14a and 14b, which are attached to immediate proximity of the shell plating 23 of the ship.
  • Horizontal guides 17 are attached to the edge of the shell plating 23 of the ship by means of pivot shafts 18, the said guides being supposed to guide the lifting and lowering wire 20.
  • the guides 17 are shown in the outwardly pivoted guiding position by means of reference numeral 17', whereat the wire 20 runs between them V.
  • the platform 10 can be pivoted either by manual force or by means of particular actuating means, e.g. by means of a hydraulic cylinder, and the pivoting platform 10 can be locked at the working position shown in Fig. 1, located at an appropriate height H from the deck. In this position, e.g.,the apparatus K can be lifted onto the pivoting platform 10, the said apparatus being shown schematically in the figure.
  • the apparatus K is attached to the wire 20, e.g., by means of a shackle 22 or by other means, the said wire 20 running via the pulley 21 of the pivoting platform 10 to the winch of the ship (not shown) through the deck and/or in troughs on the deck.
  • a brake device 19 is attached, which consists, e.g., of two brake shoes placed one opposite the other, the wire 20 being fitted so as to pass through the space between them.
  • the pivoting platform 10 is pivoted by means of an actuating device (not shown) or manually to the outwardly pivoted position 10' shown in Fig. 2.
  • the pivoting platform 10' extends by the dimension L to outside the shell plating 23 of the ship, i.e. to the sea-side.
  • the lifting and lowering wire 20 runs as guided by the pulley 12 of the pivoting platform 10' and by the other pulley 24 to the winch of the ship.
  • the apparatus K or any other, corresponding apparatus or instrument can be lowered into the sea and, correspondingly, lifted out of the sea.
  • the pivoting platform 10' In the position shown in Fig. 2, the pivoting platform 10' is kept in position by an appropriate limiter or any other, corresponding device.
  • the apparatus When various apparatuses are lifted out of the sea in the position of the pivoting platform 10' shown in Fig. 2, the apparatus is first lifted to the level of the pivoting platform 10', and thereupon the pivoting platform 10' is pivoted to the horizontal position shown in Fig. 1, whereby the apparatus K lifted out of the sea can be placed onto the pivoting platform 10 reaching the horizontal position under control, in which position the necessary operations can be carried out and, if necessary, the apparatus K be detached from the wire 20" and, after necessary operations, possibly be lowered again into the sea.
  • the guides 17 may be pivoted around their pivot shafts 18 to the position 17' or to an appropriate V-angle so that the wire 20 is guided appropriately into connection with the pivoting platform 10.
  • the guides 17 it is also ensured that the wire 20 is guided between the shoes of the brake 19. If the brake is of such a type that the bringing of the wire 20 into connection with the brake can be ensured by other means, the guides 17 are not necessarily needed.
  • the device in accordance with the invention When the device in accordance with the invention is out of operation, it is kept pivoted in the inwardly pivoted position of Fig. 1, or it may be kept in any position considered to be most advantageous from the point of view of the other use of the ship.
  • the guides 17 are in the inward position shown in Fig. 1.
