Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Unterwasserfahrzeug, insbesondere Unterwasserdrohne, mit einer Antriebseinrichtung, die eine Mehrzahl von einzelnen, in einer vorgebenen Antriebsrichtung wirkenden Antriebsmitteln umfaßt, und mit einer Einrichtung zum Lenken des Wasserfahrzeuges in Nick- und Gierebene.The invention relates to an underwater vehicle, in particular an underwater drone, with a drive device that a plurality of individual, in one includes predetermined drive direction acting drive means, and with a Device for steering the watercraft in pitch and yaw plane.

Ein Unterwasserfahrzeug konventioneller Bauart besitzt gewöhnlich zwei Ruderklappen, die eine Einrichtung zum Lenken bilden. Von den Ruderklappen wirkt eine in Vertikalrichtung, um Richtungsänderungen des Rumpfes in Nickebene zu bewirken und die andere Ruderklappe in Gierebene, um Richtungsänderungen nach Steuerbord oder Backbord durchführen zu können. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Unterwasserfahrzeugen sind die hohen Herstellkosten durch die aufwendigen Ruderklappenkonstruktionen sowie die schlechte Manövrierfähigkeit bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten.A conventional type of underwater vehicle usually has two rudder flaps, which form a device for steering. One of the rudder flaps works in the vertical direction in order to bring about changes in direction of the fuselage in the pitch plane and the other rudder flap in yaw plane to change direction after To be able to perform on the starboard or port side. A disadvantage of these known Underwater vehicles are the high manufacturing costs due to the complex rudder flap designs as well as poor maneuverability at low speeds.

Es sind darüber hinaus Unterwasserfahrzeuge mit einem zusätzlichen Vertikalantrieb oder mit einem zusätzlichen kombinierten Vertikal- und Querantrieb bekannt. Hierdurch wird zwar eine verbesserte Manövrierfähigkeit bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten erzielt; bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten hat sich die Manövrierfähigkeit in Vertikalrichtung jedoch als ungenügend erwiesen. Nachteilig wirken sich zudem auch bei diesen bekannten Unterwasserfahrzeugen die hohen Herstellkosten für den Vertikal- und den Querantrieb aus.They are also underwater vehicles with an additional vertical drive or with an additional combined vertical and transverse drive known. This does improve maneuverability at low Speeds achieved; at high speeds there is maneuverability in the vertical direction, however, proved to be insufficient. Have a disadvantage in addition, the high manufacturing costs of these known underwater vehicles for vertical and transverse drives.

Die Herstellkosten der Unterwasserfahrzeuge fallen insbesondere bei Einwegdrohnen zur Beseitigung von Minen stark ins Gewicht, da die Drohne mit der Mine zerstört wird.The manufacturing costs of the underwater vehicles fall in particular for one-way drones to remove mines heavily as the drone with the mine gets destroyed.

Aus der EP-A-0 215 629 ist eine Einrichtung zum Lenken eines Unterwasserfahrzeuges bekannt, bei der auf einem konzentrisch zur Fahrzeuglängsachse angeordneten Antriebsring Verstellflügel angeordnet sind. Zum Lenken des Fahrzeuges werden die Verstellflügel um ihre senkrecht zur Fahrzeuglängsachse verlaufenden Schwenkachsen verschwenkt. Diese Einrichtung zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges ist kompliziert und teuer in der Herstellung.From EP-A-0 215 629 is a device for steering an underwater vehicle is known, arranged on a concentric to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle Drive ring adjustable wing are arranged. For steering the vehicle are the adjustable wing around their perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle Swivel axes swiveled. This device for steering the underwater vehicle is complicated and expensive to manufacture.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Unterwasserfahrzeug zu schaffen, welches sich durch geringe Herstellkosten und gute Manövriereigenschaften bei möglichst allen und insbesondere niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten auszeichnet.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an underwater vehicle create, which is characterized by low manufacturing costs and good maneuverability distinguishes at all possible and especially low speeds.

Diese Aufgabe wird beim Unterwasserfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daßdie Einrichtung zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges aus einer Steuereinrichtung besteht, die zur Beibehaltung oder Änderung des Kurses in Nick- oder Gierebene nur die Antriebsleistung der Antriebsmittel einzeln steuert.This object is achieved according to the invention in the underwater vehicle of the type mentioned at the beginning solved in that the device for steering the underwater vehicle consists of a control device designed to maintain or change of the course in pitch or yaw level only the drive power of the drive means controls individually.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen insbesondere darin, daß zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges weder Ruderklappen noch Vertikal- oder Querantriebe erforderlich sind. Die Lenkung des Unterwasserfahrzeuges erfolgt ausschließlich durch Steuerung der Antriebsleistung der Antriebsmittel. Die Antriebseinrichtung kann aus identischen Standardkomponenten aufgebaut werden, so daß das erfindungsgemäße Unterwasserfahrzeug mit niedrigen Herstellkosten produzierbar ist. Die Steuerung der Antriebsleistung jedes einzelnen Antriebsmittels sorgt für eine sehr gute Manövrierfähigkeit auch bei geringen Geschwindigkeiten, die insbesondere bei der Vernichtung von Unterwasserminen wichtig ist. The advantages of the invention are in particular that for steering the underwater vehicle neither rudder flaps nor vertical or transverse drives required are. The underwater vehicle is controlled exclusively by Control of the drive power of the drive means. The drive device can be constructed from identical standard components, so that the invention Underwater vehicle can be produced with low manufacturing costs. The Controlling the drive power of each individual drive means ensures a very good maneuverability even at low speeds, especially at the destruction of underwater mines is important.

Vorteilhafterweise wirken die Antriebsmittel jeweils in Geradeausrichtung des Unterwasserfahrzeuges.Advantageously, the drive means each act in the straight direction of the Underwater vehicle.

Besonders bevorzugt umfaßt die Antriebseinrichtung vier Antriebsmittel, die jeweils um 90° um die Längsachse des Unterwasserfahrzeuges versetzt am Heck des Unterwasserfahrzeuges angeordnet sind. Bei dieser augenblicklich besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung läuft das Unterwasserfahrzeug bei gleicher Antriebsleistung aller Antriebsmittel in Geradeausrichtung. Kurskorrekturen in Nick- bzw. Gierebene können beispielsweise durch Herabsetzung bzw. Erhöhung der Antriebskraft der jeweiligen Antriebsmittel in der entsprechenden Ebene auf einfache Weise durchgeführt werden.The drive device particularly preferably comprises four drive means, each offset by 90 ° around the longitudinal axis of the underwater vehicle at the rear of the Are arranged underwater vehicle. In this instantly special preferred embodiment of the present invention, the underwater vehicle runs with the same drive power of all drive means in a straight line. Course corrections in the pitch or yaw level can be reduced, for example or increase the driving force of the respective drive means in the corresponding Level can be done easily.

Besonders bevorzugt werden die Antriebsmittel von Propellern gebildet, die paarweise gegenläufig angetrieben werden. Propellerantriebe sind preiswerte Antriebsmittel, deren paarweise gegenläufiger Antrieb bewirkt, daß sich die Schraubeneffekte ohne Beeinflussung durch die Steuereinrichtung gegenseitig kompensieren.The drive means are particularly preferably formed by propellers, in pairs are driven in opposite directions. Propeller drives are inexpensive drive means, their pairwise opposite drive causes the screw effects Compensate for each other without being influenced by the control device.

Werden die Antriebsmittel durch Propeller gebildet, so steuert die Einrichtung zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges vorteilhafterweise bei Propellerantrieben die Drehzahl der Propeller. Die Beeinflussung der Drehzahl der Propeller ist die einfachste Methode, die Antriebsleistung der Antriebsmittel einzeln zu steuern.If the drive means are formed by propellers, the device controls the Steering the underwater vehicle advantageously with propeller drives Speed of the propellers. Influencing the speed of the propellers is the easiest Method of individually controlling the drive power of the drive means.

Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfaßt die Antriebseinrichtung drei Antriebsmittel, die jeweils um 120° um die Längsachse des Unterwasserfahrzeuges herum versetzt am Heck des Unterwasserfahrzeuges angeordnet sind. Gegenüber der Anordnung von vier Antriebseinrichtungen wird bei dieser Ausführungsform ein Antriebsmittel eingespart, die Herstellungskosten des Unterwasserfahrzeuges somit weiter vermindert.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the drive device comprises three drive means, each 120 ° around the longitudinal axis of the underwater vehicle shifted around at the rear of the underwater vehicle are arranged. Opposite the arrangement of four drive devices becomes a drive means in this embodiment saved the manufacturing costs of the underwater vehicle thus further reduced.

Das Unterwasserfahrzeug 1 enthält im Bugbereich eine Sensoreinrichtung 2 (beispielsweise eine Sonar- oder Kameraeinrichtung), mit deren Hilfe beispielsweise Ankertauminen oder nicht vollständig eingesunkene Grundminen detektiert werden können. Ferner ist eine Antriebseinrichtung 3 vorgesehen, die Antriebsmittel 5 am Heck 7 des Unterwasserfahrzeuges 1 umfaßt, die in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Propeller ausgebildet sind. Die Antriebsmittel 5 werden von einer Einrichtung 4 zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges 1 gesteuert, um Richtungsänderungen durchzuführen.The underwater vehicle 1 contains a sensor device in the bow area 2 (for example a sonar or camera device), with their Help, for example, anchor mines or not fully sunken Basic mines can be detected. Furthermore, a drive device 3 provided the drive means 5 at the rear 7 of the Underwater vehicle 1 includes, in the illustrated embodiment are designed as propellers.

Insbesondere in Figur 2 ist zu erkennen, daß die Antriebsmittel 5 jeweils um 90° um die Längsachse 6 des Unterwasserfahrzeuges 1 herum versetzt am Heck 7 des Unterwasserfahrzeuges 1 angeordnet sind. Durch die Pfeile werden die paarweise gegenläufigen Drehrichtungen der Antriebsmittel 5 angedeutet. Zur gegenseitigen Kompensation von Schraubeneffekten sind zwei der Propeller rechtsdrehend und zwei linksdrehend ausgebildet. It can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 that the drive means 5 in each case around 90 ° around the longitudinal axis 6 of the underwater vehicle 1 are arranged offset at the rear 7 of the underwater vehicle 1. The arrows indicate the opposite directions of rotation the drive means 5 indicated. For mutual compensation of Screw effects are two of the propellers clockwise and two left-handed trained.

Zur Stabilisierung des Unterwasserfahrzeuges ist es zweckmäßig, Leitflächen 8 vorzusehen, die einen guten Geradeauslauf des Unterwasserfahrzeuges 1 sicherstellen.To stabilize the underwater vehicle, it is advisable to Provide baffles 8, the good straight running of the underwater vehicle 1 ensure.

Die Einrichtung zum Lenken des Unterwasserfahrzeuges steuert die Antriebsleistung der einzelnen Antriebsmittel 5. Für eine Kursänderung in der Gierebene nach Steuerbord wird die Antriebsleistung der beiden steuerbordseitigen Antriebsmittel 5 vermindert und die Antriebsleistung der Backbord-Antriebsmittel 5 erhöht. Analog hierzu kann die Antriebsleistung der unteren beiden bzw. oberen beiden Antriebsmittel 5 gesteuert werden, um Richtungsänderungen des Unterwasserfahrzeuges in Nickebene zu bewirken.The device for steering the underwater vehicle controls the drive power of the individual drive means 5. For a course change in the yaw plane to starboard is the propulsion power of the two starboard-side propulsion means 5 decreased and the propulsion power the port drive means 5 increased. Analogously to this the drive power of the lower two or upper two drive means 5 can be controlled to change the direction of the underwater vehicle to effect in pitch level.
