Abstract

Le poids élevé des appareils de dragage de mines transportés par des systèmes sous-marins téléguidés entrave la manoeuvrabilité desdits systèmes. Dans le but d'améliorer cette manoeuvrabilité, l'invention propose de choisir le poids de l'appareil de dragage de mines (100) de manière à ce qu'il ne soit pratiquement pas affecté par la poussée d'Archimède pendant son transport dans l'eau et que, après encerclement du câble d'ancrage par le dispositif de serrage, on obtienne une poussée verticale de l'appareil de dragage de mines (100) par largage d'un poids de tarage (118).The heavy weight of minesweeping devices transported by remote-controlled submarine systems hinders the maneuverability of said systems. In order to improve this maneuverability, the invention proposes to choose the weight of the minesweeping apparatus (100) so that it is practically not affected by the Archimedean thrust during its transport in water and that, after encircling the anchor cable by the clamping device, a vertical thrust of the minesweeping device (100) is obtained by releasing a calibration weight (118).

Description

Minenräumgerät zum Räumen von Ankertauminen  Mine clearing device for clearing anchor mines
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Minenräumgerät zum Räumen von Anker tauminen, wie es im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 definiert ist. Derartige Minenräumgeräte sind an sich beispielsweise aus der DE 35 28 329 bekannt. Die bekannten Minenräumgeräte besitzen allerdings den Nachteil, daß relativ aufwendige Klemmvorrichtungen erforderlich sind, und daß die Verbringerdrohne mit starken statischen und dynaraisehen Momenten während der Suchfahrt aufgrund des hohen Gewichtes des Minenräumgerätes belastet ist und somit die Manövrierfähigkeit der Drohne stören. Nachteilig ist ferner bei dec bekannten Minengeräumgerat, daß zum Aufsteigen des Gerätes entlang des Ankertaus aktivierbare Auftriebsmittei verwendet werden müssen. Diese benötigen einen relativ großen Platz und sind teuer und leicht störanfällig. The invention relates to a mine clearing device for clearing anchor tauminen, as defined in the preamble of claim 1. Such mine clearance devices are known per se, for example from DE 35 28 329. However, the known mine clearance devices have the disadvantage that relatively complex clamping devices are required, and that the delivery drone is loaded with strong static and dynamic moments during the search run due to the heavy weight of the mine clearance device and thus disturb the drone's maneuverability. A further disadvantage of the known mine clearing device is that buoyancy means which can be activated must be used to ascend the device along the anchor rope. These require a relatively large space and are expensive and easily prone to failure.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, ein insbesondere durch Unterwasserdrohnen verbringbares Minenräumgerät so weiterzuent wickeln, daß dieThe object of the present invention is therefore to develop a mine clearing device which can be brought in particular by underwater drones so that the
Manövrierfähigkeit der Drohne durch das Minenräumgerät möglichst wenig beeinflußt wird, und daß aktivierbare Auftr iebsmittel nicht benötigt werden. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Maneuverability of the drone is influenced as little as possible by the mine clearing device and that activatable buoyancy means are not required. This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
Weitere besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindüng ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Further particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt also der Gedanke zugrunde, daß die Manövrierfähigkeit der Verbr ingungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Drohne, durch das Gewicht des Minenraumgerätes kaum gestört wird, indem das Minenräumgerät während des Verbringungsvorganges auftriebsneutral ist. Durch The present invention is therefore based on the idea that the maneuverability of the combustion device, in particular the drone, is hardly disturbed by the weight of the mine space device by the mine clearance device being buoyancy-neutral during the movement process. By
Abwurf eines Tariergewichtes wird dann der erforderliche Auftrieb erreicht, so daß aktivierbare Auftriebsmittel entfallen können. The required buoyancy is then achieved by dropping a buoyancy weight so that buoyancy means that can be activated can be dispensed with.
Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand eines Aus führungsbeispiels mit ßilfe von Figuren erläutert. Es zeigt: Further advantages and details of the invention will be explained in the following with reference to an exemplary embodiment with the aid of figures. It shows:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematisch Darstellung zur Erläuterung der Erfindung. Dabei ist mit 1 eine Ankertaumine bezeichnet, die über ein Ankertau 2 (oder eine Ankerkette) mit einem auf dem Meeresgrund 3 stehenden Gewicht (Ankerstuhl) 4 verbunden ist. Eine Unterwasserdrohne 5, die über einFig. 1 shows a schematic representation for explaining the invention. 1 denotes an anchor mine, which is connected via an anchor rope 2 (or an anchor chain) to a weight (anchor chair) 4 standing on the seabed 3. An underwater drone 5 that has a
Kabel 6 mit dem nicht dargestellten Minenjagdboot verbunden ist, wird in die Nähe des Ankertaus 2 gesteuert. Über einen Verbringerstab 7 ist die Drohne 5 mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Minenräumgerät 100 verbunden. Cable 6 is connected to the mine hunting boat, not shown, is controlled in the vicinity of the anchor rope 2. The drone 5 is connected to the mine clearing device 100 according to the invention via a delivery rod 7.
Bei Annäherung der Drohne 5 an das Ankertau 2 wird letzteres durch die Einlaufsehienen 101, 102 in eine in Fig.1 nicht dargestellte Klemmvorrichtung gedrückt. Sobald sich das Ankertau 2 in der Klemmvorrichtung des Minenräumgerätes 100 befindet, löst sich die Drohne 5 mit dem Verbringerstab 7 von dem Minenräumgerät 100 und das Minenräumgerät 100 steigt erfindungsgemäß ohne aktivierbare Auftriebsmittel entlang des Ankertaus 2 zur Mine 1 auf. When the drone 5 approaches the anchor rope 2, the latter is pressed by the inlet rails 101, 102 into a clamping device (not shown in FIG. 1). As soon as the anchor rope 2 is in the clamping device of the mine-clearing device 100, the drone 5 with the delivery rod 7 releases from the mine-clearing device 100 and the mine-clearing device 100 according to the invention rises along the anchor line 2 to the mine 1 without activatable buoyancy means.
Fig. 2 stellt das erfindungsgemäße Minenräumgerät im einzelnen dar; Dabei sind die Einlaufschienen wiederum mit 101 und 102 bezeichnet. Diese Einlaufschienen befinden sich an dem Mienengehäuse 103, dessen Kopfteil mit 104 und dessen Unterteil mit 105 gekennzeichnet sind. Die Klemmvorrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus den am Kopfteil des Gehäuses 104 angeordneten Klemmhebeln 107 und 108 sowie aus den am Unterteil des Fig. 2 shows the mine clearing device according to the invention in detail; The infeed rails are again designated 101 and 102. These inlet rails are located on the lead housing 103, the head part of which is identified by 104 and the lower part by 105. The clamping device consists essentially of the clamping levers 107 and 108 arranged on the head part of the housing 104 and from the lower part of the
Gehäuses angeordneten und nur teilweise sichbaren Housing arranged and only partially visible
Klemmhebeln 109 und 110. Die Klemmhebel sind jeweils um Drehpunkte 111, 112 (für die am Unterteil des Gehäuses 105 angeordneten Klemmhebel sind diese Drehpunkte nicht sichtbar) bewegbar. Zwischen den Klemmhebeln 107 und 108 bzw. 109 und 110 befinden sich Klemmhebel führungen 113. Die jeweilige Klemmhebel führung 113 weist einen Zapfen 114, 115 auf, die in Führungsschlitze 116, 117 in den jeweiligen Klemmhebel 114, 115 eingreifen. Auf der den Einlaufschienen 101, 102 abgewandten Seite der Klemmhebel 107, 108 greifen letztere in Nuten des Tariergewichtes 118 ein und blockieren dieses Tariergewicht. Clamping levers 109 and 110. The clamping levers can each be moved about pivot points 111, 112 (these pivot points are not visible for the clamping levers arranged on the lower part of the housing 105). Between the clamping levers 107 and 108 or 109 and 110 there are clamping lever guides 113. The respective clamping lever guide 113 has a pin 114, 115 which engage in guide slots 116, 117 in the respective clamping lever 114, 115. On the side of the clamping levers 107, 108 facing away from the inlet rails 101, 102, the latter engage in grooves of the buoyancy weight 118 and block this buoyancy weight.
Außerdem greift ein Sicherungsstift 126 in eine Längsnut 127 des Tariergewichtes 118 ein und sorgt für eine Gewichtsent las tung der Klemmhebel 107 bis 110. Der Verbringer st ab 7 (Fig. 1) ist an seinem dem Minengeräumgerät 100 zugewandten Ende über einen Adapter 119, das Tariergewicht 118 und die Klemmhebel 107 bis 110 mit dem Minenräumgerät 100 verbunden. Dabei sind In addition, a locking pin 126 engages in a longitudinal groove 127 of the buoyancy weight 118 and ensures a weight release of the clamping levers 107 to 110. The shipper st from 7 (FIG. 1) is at its end facing the mine clearing device 100 via an adapter 119 Taring weight 118 and the clamping levers 107 to 110 connected to the mine clearing device 100. Are there
Adapter 119 und Verbringerstab 7 mittels eines Stiftes 128 miteinander befestigt. Adapter 119 and delivery rod 7 fastened to one another by means of a pin 128.
In dem Gehäuse 103 des Minenräumgerätes 100 befinden sich außerdem der an sich bekannte Zünder 122 mit den ebenfalls aus der eingangs erwähnten Offenlegungssehrift DE 35 28 329 bekannten Schneidladung 125 und der Wirkladung 124. In the housing 103 of the mine clearing device 100 there are also the detonator 122, known per se, with the cutting charge 125, which is also known from the aforementioned disclosure document DE 35 28 329, and the active charge 124.
Im folgenden wird kurz auf die Funktionsweise des Ausführungsbeispieles eingegangen: Nach einer Sonarvoraufklärung wird die Unterwasserdrohne 5 (Fig. 1) mit dem Minenräumgerät 100 an das Ankertau bzw. die Ankerkette verbracht und aufgesetzt. Dabei drückt das Ankertau 2 gegen die Klemmhebelführung 113 und bewirkt durch die schräg nach außen gerichteten Führungsschlitze 116, 117 der Klemmhebel 107, 108 ein Umklammern des Ankertaus.The mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment is briefly discussed below: After a sonar pre-reconnaissance, the underwater drone 5 (FIG. 1) is brought to the anchor rope or anchor chain and attached with the mine clearing device 100. The anchor rope 2 presses against the clamping lever guide 113 and, due to the obliquely outwardly directed guide slots 116, 117, causes the clamping lever 107, 108 to clasp the anchor rope.
Die der Einlauf schiene abgewandten Enden der Klemmhebel, welche während des Verbindungsvorganges in Nuten des Tariergewichtes 118 eingreifen, bewegen sich nach außen, so daß das Tariergewicht freigegeben wird und allenfalls noch durch den Stift 126 gehalten wird. Fährt die Drohne 5 nun rückwärts, so zieht sie außer dem Verbringerstab 7 auch den Adapter 119 und das Tariergewicht 118 zurück. Sobald der mit dem Minenräumgerät 100 verbundene Sicherungsstift 126 nicht mehr in die Längsnut 127 des Tariergewichtes 118 eingreift, rutscht letzteres durch eine Hülse 129 des Adapters hindurch und fällt auf den Meeresgrund. The ends of the clamping lever facing away from the infeed rail, which engage in grooves of the buoyancy weight 118 during the connection process, move outwards, so that the buoyancy weight is released and, if necessary, is still held by the pin 126. If the drone 5 now travels backwards, it pulls the adapter 119 and the buoyancy weight 118 back in addition to the delivery rod 7. As soon as the safety pin 126 connected to the mine clearing device 100 no longer engages in the longitudinal groove 127 of the buoyancy weight 118, the latter slips through a sleeve 129 of the adapter and falls onto the seabed.
Nachdem Lösen des Minenräumgerätes 100 von dem Verbringerstab 7 sorgt der durch den Wegfall des Tariergewichtes 118 bewirkte Auftrieb, daß das Minenräurn- gerät 100 entlang des Ankertaues 2 zur Mine 1 aufsteigt, wobei angestrebt wird, daß das Minenräumgerät sich soweit wie möglich dem Minengefäß nähert, um eine möglichst optimale Wirkung der in dem Minenräumgerät 100 eingebauten Wirkladung 124 zu erreichen. After the mine clearing device 100 has been released from the delivery rod 7, the buoyancy caused by the loss of the buoyancy weight 118 ensures that the mine clearing device 100 ascends along the anchor rope 2 to the mine 1, the aim being that the mine clearing device approaches the mine vessel as far as possible. in order to achieve the best possible effect of the active charge 124 installed in the mine clearing device 100.
Während des Lösevorganges des Räumgerätes 100 vom Verbringerstab 7 wird eine im Raumgerät befindliche Elektronik 121 aktiviert, die es gestattet nach einer Totzeitphase, die dem Entfernen der Verbringerdrohne 5 vom Räumort dient, die beiden Wirkladungen 124, 125 im Minenräumgerät 100 durch akustisch kodierte Sonarsignale während einer bestimmten Zeitdauer nach deß Anklammerungsvorgang zu zünden. During the release process of the clearing device 100 from the delivery rod 7, electronics 121 located in the room device are activated, which, after a dead time phase, which serves to remove the delivery drone 5 from the clearing location, enables the two active charges 124, 125 in the mine clearing device 100 by means of acoustically coded sonar signals during a to ignite after a certain period of time after the clinging process.
Die in das Minenräumgerät 100 eingebaute Virkladung 124 wirkt in Richtung des Minengefäßes und soll dieses zerstören. Gelingt das nicht, weil der Abstand zwischen Räumgerät 100 und Minengefäß 1 zu groß ist, wird durch eine zweite eingebaute Sehne id ladung 125 das Ankertau 2 der Mine 1 durchtrennt, so daß die Mine aufschwimmen kann, wo sie dann an der Oberfläche durch Beschüß The viral charge 124 installed in the mine clearing device 100 acts in the direction of the mine vessel and is intended to destroy it. If this does not succeed because the distance between clearing device 100 and mine vessel 1 is too large, the anchor rope 2 of mine 1 is severed by a second built-in tendon id charge 125, so that the mine can float, where it is then bombarded on the surface
geräumt wird. Vorzugsweise wird vor dem Zünden der Wirkladung 124 und der Schneidladung 125 eine hier nicht dargestellte Zielgebiet sbeleuchtungseinrichtung von dem Räumgerät 100 freigegeben, die an die Oberfläche aufschwimmt und das Zielgebiet beleuchtet, so daß nicht durch die Wirkladung 124 zerstörte Minen nach dem Aufschwimmen auch nachts geräumt werden können. is cleared. Preferably, before the ignition of the active charge 124 and the cutting charge 125, a target area illumination device, not shown here, is released by the clearing device 100, which floats to the surface and illuminates the target area, so that mines not destroyed by the active charge 124 are also cleared at night after floating can.
