Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watercraft, in particular ship or submarine, with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Vessels equipped for maneuvering with the above-mentioned steering gear or maneuvering propellers reach their limits even when these craft are used in shallow waters or in waters with near-surface vegetation.
  • water jet drives as control organs. These are essentially axial pumps in which by means of pivotable flaps at the pump outlet a directed beam can be generated, which is used for controlling and / or stopping the ship or watercraft. If these water jet propulsion systems are used as a pure maneuvering aid and the actual propulsion of the ship takes place via a propulsion device which is independent of the water jet propulsion system, the maneuvering aid, which is not activated during normal driving operation, can undesirably influence the driving characteristics of the ship.
  • the present invention has the object to provide a watercraft, in particular ship or submarine, which has improved maneuverability without significantly changing the other driving behavior, in particular without adversely affecting the acoustic signature.
  • the watercraft according to the invention which is in particular a ship or a submarine, has an outer skin which delimits the surrounding water.
  • a maneuvering device comprising a water-conducting flow channel extending through the vehicle, means for generating a flow through the flow channel and at least one inlet and at least one outlet opening of the flow channel in the outer skin having.
  • at least the outlet opening is designed to be closable.
  • the watercraft is driven during normal driving by a drive which is independent of the maneuvering device.
  • a drive which is independent of the maneuvering device.
  • This may be, for example, a propeller drive.
  • the vessel may have a control device, for example a rudder system, which is also independent of the maneuvering device.
  • the maneuvering device is typically used to make directional changes in confined space or without travel. If necessary, the maneuvering device can also be used to assist the steering gear when the main drive is switched on, but also when the main drive is switched off or, if necessary, as an auxiliary or emergency drive or take-home drive.
  • the means for generating a flow may be, for example, pumps suitable therefor, e.g. an axial pump act in the simplest case to a arranged in the flow channel propeller.
  • the invention advantageously offers the possibility to close at least the outlet opening.
  • the hydrodynamic properties of the vessel compared to those vehicles in which the outlet is not closable, significantly improved.
  • Another advantage of a closable outlet opening is particularly evident in military used submarines. These submarines would have an opening in the outer skin lead to unwanted noise. By closing at least the outlet opening the noise is advantageously prevented, whereby the location of such a submarine is considerably more difficult.
  • inlet and outlet openings closable In general, it will be expedient to form both inlet and outlet openings closable, at least when they are in the outer skin of the submarine. However, if necessary, it is also possible to suck in extensively between the outer skin and the pressure body, if this area flows through water anyway, then it may be sufficient to make only the outlet opening closable.
  • a closure body is provided for closing the outlet opening.
  • This closure body terminates in a position closing the outlet opening, preferably flush with the outer skin of the watercraft, in order to not or not noticeably affect the flow along the outer skin of the watercraft and, in particular, to generate a signature in submarines.
  • a closure body is also advantageously provided for closing the inlet opening or openings.
  • This body is preferably plate-shaped and is in a flow channel releasing position and the flow channel closing position movable.
  • this body is pivotally arranged so that it can be pivoted in operation of the maneuvering device in an open position in which it releases almost the entire flow cross-section of the flow channel in the region of the inlet opening or openings and can be pivoted in non-operation of the maneuvering device in a position in which it completely closes the inlet opening or openings.
  • the plate-shaped body in the position closing the flow channel is preferably arranged and designed so that it is substantially flush with the outer skin of the watercraft.
  • At least one guide body influencing the flow direction of the water flowing out of the flow channel is arranged near the outlet opening.
  • This guide body is expediently designed to be adjustable.
  • the guide body is advantageously arranged so that it can be used to change the direction of the water flow exiting at the outlet opening.
  • the guide body makes it possible to direct the thrust generated by the exiting water flow in the direction required for a desired change in direction of the vessel.
  • the guide body is formed by the closure body of the outlet opening.
  • the closure body is designed such that the water flow exiting at the outlet opening can be directed in a manner required for the maneuvering.
  • the closure body is formed as a plate.
  • This design makes it possible, on the one hand, for the side which closes the outlet opening to face the surrounding water in a simple manner to the contour of the surrounding water the outer skin can be adapted and the flow channel facing side of this plate just as easily a large deflection for deflecting the exiting the outlet opening water flow is available.
  • the plate may be formed, for example, round or square.
  • the plate is movable at the outlet opening for closing this outlet opening in a position substantially flush with the outer skin and movable during operation of the maneuvering device in a position spaced from the outer skin and / or oriented obliquely to the outer skin.
  • all suitable drives can be used, but preferably at least one linear drive or preferably three or more linear drives are provided for moving the plate from a position closing the outlet opening into the open position required for changing the direction of the watercraft.
  • the linear actuators can be formed for example by motor-driven threaded spindles or hydraulic or pneumatic lifting cylinders, telescopic cylinders and the like.
  • the linear drives are articulated on the one hand inside the outer skin of the vessel, on the other hand on the plate. By extending the linear drive, the plate is moved in a position spaced from the outer skin position and by retraction again back to a position closing the outlet opening.
  • the linear drives are hinged to the plate, so as to allow a tilting of the plate relative to the outer skin of the watercraft.
  • the plate can be articulated on one side at the edge of the outlet opening, so that actuation with only one or two linear drives is possible.
  • the entire closure body is rotatably formed to the outer skin, so that the swung plate allows flow guidance in any direction.
  • hydraulic, electrical or other suitable devices may be provided for the rotational adjustment of the closure body.
  • three hydraulically operated lifting cylinders engage the inside of the plate forming the guide body. This arrangement advantageously makes it possible for the panel to be aligned in any angular position and direction with respect to the outer skin and the outlet opening.
  • the outlet opening is arranged on the underside of the watercraft.
  • this arrangement allows advantageous that the watercraft can be directed in virtually every direction with only one outlet opening.
  • the underside arrangement also has the advantage that in this arrangement, the maneuvering device can be used in particular also supportive when the watercraft has put on. In this case, in particular, the suction effect is counteracted when placed on silt. In case of failure of the main drive, this maneuvering device can also be used as an auxiliary propulsion or "take home" drive.
  • At least one outlet opening which can be closed with a plate, is provided on each of the two longitudinal sides of the watercraft on the outer skin.
  • the outlet openings are provided on both longitudinal sides of the outer skin, the flow channels open expediently essentially transverse to the respective outer skin.
  • the inlet opening of the flow channel is preferably arranged in the region of the front side and in the case of an overhead vehicle below the waterline of the vehicle.
  • the flow channel is particularly advantageously arranged inside the outer skin but outside the pressure body. In this case, the flow channel is guided through the gap between the outer skin and the pressure body. This has the advantage that the pressure body does not have to be broken by the flow channel.
  • the linear drive is arranged to move the plate outside the pressure hull.
  • the pressure body does not have to be broken by the linear drive, so that the pressure tightness of the pressure hull is not affected by this.
  • the submarine shown in FIG. 1 has a pressure body 2, which is surrounded by an outer skin 4.
  • a flow channel 6 is arranged in the bow-side space between the outer skin 4 and the pressure body 2.
  • This flow channel 6 has an inlet opening 3 in the region of the bow of the submarine and opens at an outlet opening 11 in the region of the underside of this submarine.
  • the flow channel 6, starting from the inlet opening 3 is initially guided horizontally in the direction of the longitudinal axis to the pressure body 2 in order to bend in front of it at an angle of approximately 90 ° in the downward direction.
  • a drive shaft 7 is arranged with a propeller 9 attached thereto for generating a flow through the flow channel 6.
  • the drive shaft 7 is driven by a motor 5 arranged in the pressure body 2 of the submarine.
  • the drive motor 5 can also be outside the pressure hull 2.
  • the inlet opening 3 at the bow of the submarine is closed by a body 8 in the form of a pivotally hinged plate 12. Also at the outlet opening 11 of the flow channel 6, a closure body 10 is arranged. The body 8 and the closure body 10 close the flow channel 6 on both sides. This close the the surrounding water-facing sides of the body 8 and the closure body 10 flush with the outer skin 4 of the submarine.
  • the body 8 is articulated by means of a hinge assembly 12 on the outer skin 4 of the submarine.
  • the hinge assembly 12 makes it possible to pivot the body 8 from a position closing the flow channel 6 when the maneuvering device is not operating to a position releasing the flow channel 6 when the maneuvering device is used, i.e. when the channel 6 is flowed through.
  • the closure body 10 can be moved starting from a position closing off the flow channel 6 into a position which releases this flow channel 6. This is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the figures show that the closure body 10 is formed as a circular plate which has a larger diameter than the flow channel 6.
  • the flow channel 6 is widened at the outlet opening and forms in the outer skin 4 an annular shoulder with an annular surface 14 arranged parallel to the outlet opening.
  • linear drives 16 are based on the annular surface 14, whose extendable ends are hinged to the side of the closure body 10 facing the flow channel 6.
  • the linear drives 16 are arranged such that in their retracted state, the side facing away from the flow channel 6 of the closure body 10 is flush with the outer skin 4 of the submarine.
  • the closure body 10 can be moved in an angular range of about 0 ° - 75 ° in any angular position and orientation to the outer skin 4.
  • an inclined position of the closure body 10 can be achieved, which deflects a discharged at the outlet opening of the flow channel 6 water flow so that it exerts a thrust force in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the submarine or in the longitudinal direction or any direction between them.
  • the closure body 10 thus forms in the open position a guide in the form of a guide plate.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a closure body 10 ', which is likewise designed as a circular plate.
  • the closure body 10 ' is pivotally mounted at its periphery at two diametrically spaced-apart points on the outer skin 4 surrounding the outlet opening 11 of the submarine.
  • the flow channel 6 widens toward the outlet opening 11.
  • the flow channel 6 in the region of the outlet opening 11 has a shape adapted to the pivoting path of the closure body 10 '.
  • the closure body 10 ' is pivotable about an axis 12 extending through the attachment points and can be pivoted into a position closing the outlet opening and into a position releasing the outlet opening.
  • the closure body 10 is designed to be rotatable about the channel axis of the flow channel 6 to form the outer skin 4.
  • the channel 6 opens at the inlet opening 3 and the outlet opening 11 substantially perpendicular to the outer skin 3, it is understood that depending on the desired flow effect also can be done by a vertical deviating orientation.
  • a plurality of inlet openings can also be provided. If a plurality of outlet openings are provided, a switching device is expediently provided within the flow channel 6, in order to selectively apply the flow to the one or the other outflow channel.
