Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of unwinding devices of a thread ensuring the transmission of information of any kind (orders or reports) between two mobiles operating in a fluid.
  • One of the main applications of the invention is its use for transmotransmission between a submarine or a surface vessel and a self-propelled torpedo.
  • the cables used are generally bulky, fixed on the mobile and take place from the launching building.
  • the mobile If the mobile is to move in a large perimeter, regardless of its speed, or if the two mobiles move simultaneously in tracks independent of each other, it is necessary to use cables of small section which are at the same time, they move off from moving mobiles, so that each mobile leaves behind a motionless wire in the fluid, and the forces are significantly reduced.
  • the launcher building coil is positioned in a locked container at the bottom of the torpedo launch tube.
  • the thread, which runs from there, is protected by a sheath to prevent fractures due to friction and possible clashes with the protruding parts of the tube. This protective sheath is deployed during the first meters of the course of the torpedo being driven by it.
  • the sheath is weighted to move away from the launcher, however it has been observed that with the increase of the speed of the submarine, it tends to get closer to it so much that the wire is unwound along the the hull and may be caught by the water current induced by the propeller, which is likely to create its rupture.
  • the current design of the French container also has the effect of limiting the size of the coil and therefore the length of wire carried by the submarine, which reduces its ability to evolve during the wire guidance phase.
  • the cable is stored as a coil integrated into an existing volume around a fixed fairing of the launched mobile, it takes place on demand depending on the displacement of the latter.
  • One end of the cable is secured to the mobile launched, it corresponds to the winding layer of smaller diameter.
  • the cable is rolled on the back of the structure by forming a frustoconical helix curve closing behind the mobile launched, at the same time the thread also runs from the spool of the container, so each point then remains at almost immobile with respect to the fluid.
  • This container can be placed on the deck of a surface ship or launched simultaneously with the torpedo from a submarine while remaining connected to it by a cable.
  • This cable unwinding device has a number of disadvantages related in particular to its shape.
  • the container By the shape of the container, the trajectory of the latter is not stabilized.
  • the container may come to hit the hull of the submarine and thus disrupt the listening done by its acoustic sensors.
  • Another disadvantage is the size of the container which limits the length of wire on the side of the submarine and therefore reduces its ability to evolve.
  • the length of wire is also limited by the design of the torpedo.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks by proposing a transmission wire unwinding device launched simultaneously with the torpedo.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a device away from the unwinding point of the launcher shell.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device having a stabilized trajectory in the fluid.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device increasing the subsea's evolution capabilities by the length of available wire.
  • the object of the invention is a device for unwinding a thread ensuring the transmission of information of any kind (orders or reports) between two mobiles moving in a fluid in which the cable is wound on at least a coil housed in a reel, the latter being disposed between the two mobiles, characterized in that the reel, separable from the two mobiles, comprises stabilizing means thereof in the fluid.
  • the stabilizer means of the reel preferably comprise a keel combined with a fixed plane.
  • a thrust spacer associated with the reel located between the launched mobile and its launching mechanism, ensures the transmission of the thrust forces during launch.
  • a link mechanism can temporarily provide the link between the reel and the launched mobile. It may consist of a spring ball system with calibrated separation stress.
  • the device may comprise a short protective sheath where the wire is unwound, connected to the connecting mechanism by one of its ends.
  • the reel preferably comprises one or two coils.
  • a thread tension regulating mechanism makes it possible to transfer the unwinding action of the first reel to the second reel by eliminating the shock caused by the variations in the length of the transfer loop.
  • An element associated with the reel can compensate for the games between the last named and the end of the pneumatic rammer to avoid shock at the beginning of deployment of the latter.
  • This element is preferably constituted by a flexible foam washer disposed between the reel and the pneumatic rammer.
  • This device has the advantage of allowing a simultaneous launch of the torpedo and reel with the wire or reels.
  • the unwinding point is thus outside the two mobiles.
  • Another advantage lies in the shape of the reel, a fixed plane associated with the keel allows the device to have a stabilized trajectory and thus does not risk to hit the hull of the submarine.
  • the device also has the advantage of moving the submarine away from the unwinding point, which is a protection against potential aggression due to turbulence near the hull.
  • the device advantageously offers a great capacity of evolution of the submarine having the possibility of having two coils in the reel and thus to allow faster wire reeling, since it is not possible for him to complete his reeling before the end of his connection with the torpedo.
  • This device consists of a reel (2) having one or two reels of wire (15) and (16). Before launching, this reel is placed between a launch mechanism, called pneumatic rammer (4), and a torpedo (1), inside a launching tube (6) of the launcher building (7).
  • a launch mechanism called pneumatic rammer (4)
  • a torpedo (1) inside a launching tube (6) of the launcher building (7).
  • Other modes of launching such as the thrown water launch or launch by auto start, are conceivable, it implies changes reel which are not shown in the figures.
  • the reel is positioned in the axis of the torpedo by a centering device (18).
  • the latter is based, for example, on a mechanical ball spring system having a calibrated separation constraint, identical to the existing solution (any other separation system is possible).
  • a foam washer (19) is placed between the pneumatic rammer and the reel, to compensate for the clearance between the two elements, and absorb the shock due to the deployment of the first named.
  • the foam used is preferably flexible and elastomeric, the washer may be integral with the pneumatic rammer, but a rigid foam can also be used, in this case the washer will be destroyed at each launch and will necessarily be integral with the reel.
  • the reel is connected by a cable (5) to a housing (3) integral with the launcher tube.
  • This cable transmitting the information to the submarine, is connected to the coil of wire by a link (11).
  • a thrust spacer (12), placed in the axis of the reel, makes it possible to transmit the forces of the pneumatic rammer on the torpedo during the launch phase. It includes a reservation intended to facilitate the passage of the sheath.
  • the reel has a fixed plane (14) ensuring its distance from the submarine.
  • a keel (17) positioned on the lower part of the reel ensures the stability of its trajectory when it is no longer secured to the torpedo.
  • the reel can store one or two reels, they are placed on each side of the reel. In the case where the reel has two coils, the wire is continuous.
  • a thread tension regulating mechanism (13) compensates for the tension of the thread at the end of unwinding of the first spool by playing on the relaxation of a spring.
  • the wire is then guided by a system of pulleys and the spring ensures the constancy of tension of the wire.
  • the operation of the device is as follows: at the time of launch, the pneumatic rammer exerts a force on the thrust spacer integral with the reel, which in turn pushes the torpedo until the full deployment of the first named.
  • the reel and torpedo assembly then leaves the launch tube with an initial speed.
  • the engine of the torpedo starts, the whole torpedo and reel moves away from the submarine.
  • the cable linking the reel to the submarine unfolds.
  • the torpedo moves away from the reel by unwinding the wire contained therein, leaving behind a wire motionless in the fluid because the wire is also unwound from the reel contained in the reel.
  • the latter secured to the submarine by the cable, has a stabilized trajectory.
