Definitions

  • the invention relates to an unmanned underwater vehicle of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Self-propelled, unmanned underwater vehicles are used as autonomous or remote-controlled vehicles for performing various tasks under water, so-called missions, such. to explore the seabed topography, mine exploration and mine destruction.
  • similarly constructed vehicles are equipped with different devices and components which, due to their function, must be attached to the pressure hull in certain areas.
  • the arrangement and weight of the devices and components significantly affect the trim position of the underwater vehicle, so that differently equipped vehicles must each be trimmed separately so that the vehicle occupies a quasi-horizontal orientation in the water and thus is largely horizontal and roll stabilized.
  • a well-known underwater vehicle for one or more divers has a streamlined shell whose entire interior, including the diver-receiving part (s), has been flooded.
  • the underwater vehicle are in addition to a in Provided longitudinally of the underwater vehicle slidable ballast weight buoyancy body, which are changeable in their position within the underwater vehicle. Trimming also adjusts to the center of gravity of the diver (s).
  • a known submersible for transporting cargo which is movable in towing ( DE 1 920 653 U1 ), has a front and a rear ballast tank, which are flooded when towed.
  • the water in the front ballast tank is displaced via a blow-off valve located in the front ballast tank, so that by increasing the buoyancy in the bow area, the bow lifts and the submersible is tilted in the water. Due to the increased by this obliquity water resistance of the submersible latter is slowed down.
  • a known underwater vehicle ( DE 44 088 ) are provided for holding the underwater vehicle in a horizontal position two attached to the ends of the vehicle, inwardly and outwardly open cylinder with movable piston therein.
  • the pistons are interconnected so that the inward movement of one piston results in outward movement of the other piston.
  • the pistons are connected to a fluid via lines in which valves and valves are arranged. By appropriate control of the taps and valves, the piston by means of the fluid so moves the pistons at the front or rear end of the vehicle displace water from the cylinder or suck water into the cylinder.
  • a well-known submarine ( US 3,343,511 ) has a hydraulic system for transporting liquid mercury from a front zone to a rear zone, and vice versa, to balance or stabilize the submarine, or to emerge quickly in an emergency by expelling the mercury.
  • a known submersible ship (PATENT ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN vol. 009, no. 326 (M-441), December 21, 1985 (1985-12-21) & JP 60 157989 A (MITSUBISHI JUKOGYO KK), August 19, 1985 (1985-08-19 )) has an enveloping body in which a pressure capsule, an auxiliary tank, a ballast tank, a trim tank and the like are installed, the space between these tanks and the enveloping body being filled with a buoyant material.
  • An immersion body is detachably connected to the enveloping body via a metal rod.
  • a battery for the power supply of the submersible ship is installed and filled the space between the battery and the shell of the immersion body with buoyant material.
  • a known unmanned underwater vehicle a so-called ROV ( US 4947782 ), has a pressure body and a drive unit consisting of four separate propeller drives.
  • the four propeller drives are attached to the outside of the pressure hull, with two propeller drives on the starboard side and two propeller drives on the port side are each arranged vertically one above the other.
  • the generic submarine E. EUGENE ALLMENDIGER: "Submersible Vehicle Systems Design” 1990, THE SOCIETY OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS AND MARINE ENGINEERS, JERSEY CITY, NJ, XP002369081, page 183, FIG. 75 ) has a boat hull in which a pressure body, a ballast tank, a trim tank, batteries, a drive motor and the like are installed. Outside at the stern of the boat hull is driven by a propeller driven propeller and control fins arranged. In the rear interior buoyancy tanks are arranged and the remaining rear space filled with buoyant material such as syntactic foam.
  • buoyant material such as syntactic foam.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an opportunity for an unmanned underwater vehicle, in a simple constructive way to trim the trim position of the underwater vehicle after entry, Aus, or conversion of equipment required for a given mission equipment in quasi final assembled state ,
  • the underwater vehicle according to the invention has the advantage that with the help of the buoyancy means on the one hand produced by the equipment output on the underwater vehicle, which would lead to a substantial deterioration of the trim position of the underwater vehicle, can be compensated and on the other hand an unexpected poor trim position of the underwater vehicle when changing or remodeling Equipment can be compensated again.
  • the accommodation of the buoyancy means in the flooded rear chamber is largely independent of the specific location of the equipment or in or on the pressure hull. This opens up Also, the possibility of the underwater vehicle with the weight and volume of extremely different equipping equipment without changing the pressure hull itself, ie to adjust its volume to the weight of the equipment.
  • the accommodation of the buoyancy means in the rear chamber also has the advantage that the buoyancy means do not adversely affect the performance of the vehicle, in particular the vehicle speed and the vehicle life.
  • the flow resistance of the vehicle, its flow behavior and the flow at the pressure body are not changed.
  • the buoyancy means arranged in the rear chamber can be designed differently as buoyancy bodies in adaptation to the shape of the empty space released by the cable reel.
  • the at least one buoyant body is advantageously formed as a hollow cylinder and inserted into the interior of the coil former or in a free space present between the cable coil and the inner wall of the rear chamber.
  • the at least one buoyancy body is hollow-cylindrical and accommodates the cable winding in its interior.
  • the at least one buoyancy body is cylindrical so that its cylinder jacket rests against the inner wall of the hollow chamber and at least one Part of the axial length of the hollow chamber extends.
  • the buoyant body has a through opening for passing through the data transmission cable and a recess for receiving a force acting on the data transmission cable strain relief.
  • FIG. 1 Underwater vehicle schematically illustrated in side view has a pressure body 11, a drive unit with flanged to the pressure body 11, electric propeller drives 12, of which two are arranged one above the other on the port side and starboard side of the pressure hull 11, and two vertically and two horizontally aligned stabilizing fins 13th At the back of the pressure hull 11, a flooded rear chamber 14 is present.
  • a platform not shown here, including the underwater vehicle via a data transmission cable 15, such as a fiber optic cable or a copper wire, is firmly connected to the platform.
  • a data transmission cable 15 such as a fiber optic cable or a copper wire
  • the data transmission cable 15 is accommodated as a cable winding 16 in the flooded rear chamber 14, wherein the cable winding 16 is designed as a coil, the cable 15 is thus wound on a hollow cylindrical bobbin 17, which preferably carries on its one end a radial flange 18 in one piece , One end of the cable winding 16 is guided through a seal 19 into the interior of the pressure hull 11, while the other end of the cable 15 is pulled off the cable winding 16 through a discharge hopper 20 closing the rear chamber 14 at the end.
  • the removal of the cable 15 from the cable winding 16 is performed circumferentially on the radial flange 18, which is correspondingly rounded.
  • a recess 21 is incorporated into the end face of the radial flange 18 facing the discharge funnel 20, into which a disk 22 with a central bore 23 is inserted.
  • the coil carrier 17 is clamped axially on the bottom plate 25.
  • the rear chamber 14 buoyancy means in the form of a buoyant body 26 (FIG. Fig. 2 ).
  • the buoyant body 26 is made of a material whose density is smaller than that of the water and is adapted to the void space present in the rear chamber 14. By selecting the material density and the dimensions of the buoyant body 26, such buoyancy can be generated at the rear that the underwater vehicle assumes an exact trim position.
  • the buoyant body 26 is designed as a hollow cylinder and inserted into the interior of the hollow cylindrical bobbin 17.
  • the buoyancy body 26 fills the entire, existing between the bolt 24 and the inner wall of the bobbin 17 annulus. If less lift is required, either the axial length of the buoyant body 26 can be reduced or for the Buoyancy 26 are selected a material having a greater density. If a greater buoyancy is required, the density of the material of the buoyant body 26 can be reduced and / or - as in Fig. 1 not shown - a further buoyant body 26 are housed in the rear chamber 14. Such an additional buoyant body 26 can be used, for example, in the recess 21 and occupy the not filled by the disc 22 and the head of the bolt 24 portion of the recess 21.
  • a buoyant body in addition to or instead of in Fig. 2 shown buoyancy body 26 are used and disposed in the space, which may be present between the outer periphery of the cable winding 16 and the inner wall of the rear chamber 14.
  • Such an arrangement of a buoyant body in place of the buoyant body 26 is required even when the cable winding 16 is spoolless and the cable is pulled off on the inside of the cable.
  • a buoyancy 26 'shown which is provided for integration in the rear chamber 14 in such underwater vehicles, which do not carry a cable reel 16 with him, however, are remotely controlled via the data transmission cable 15 from a platform.
  • the cable winding is arranged on the platform and the cable end running from the cable end only passed through the rear chamber 14 and fixed in the rear chamber 14 by means of a strain relief.
  • the rear chamber 14 is still closed by the discharge funnel 20.
  • the buoyancy body 26 ' is cylindrical, in such a way that it is able to create with its cylinder jacket to the cylindrical inner wall of the rear chamber 14.
  • the buoyancy body 26 ' extends depending on the required buoyancy more or less over the entire axial length of the rear chamber 14.
  • a through hole 27 and a recess 28 are present in the buoyancy body 26'.
  • the passage opening 27 serves to carry out the data transmission cable 15 from the outlet funnel 20 to the bottom plate 25 and the recess 28 for receiving a strain relief, not shown here, which acts on the passed through the passage opening 27 portion of the data transmission cable 15 and the data transmission cable 15 in the rear chamber 14 zugfest sets.
  • the described underwater vehicle with pressure body 11 and rear chamber 14 is used in unmodified design as autonomously working, self-propelled, unmanned underwater vehicle. This eliminates a remote control of the underwater vehicle through the platform, so that the data transmission cable 15 is no longer available. Even with such an underwater vehicle, the rear chamber 14 is used to compensate for a Hecklastmaschine the underwater vehicle and provided with buoyancy means for producing the desired trim position of the underwater vehicle.
  • the side facing away from the pressure body 11 end of the rear chamber 14 is now no longer closed with a discharge funnel, but closed with a sealing inserted cover plate 29, so that the rear chamber 14 is an air-filled Cavity 30 forms, so is used as a buoyant means so air.
  • the cover plate 29 is stepped in diameter and has a smaller diameter plate portion 291 and a larger diameter plate portion 292. The smaller-diameter plate portion 291 is pushed into the rear chamber 14 until the larger-diameter plate portion 292 rests on the front side of the rear chamber 14.
  • the attachment of the cover plate 29 is effected by screws 31, which in Fig.
  • the cover plate 29 is preferably made of aluminum.
  • the desired buoyancy in the rear region is adjustable by changing the weight of the cover plate 29, wherein preferably the axial thickness of the cover plate 29 is changed. If the cover plate 29 removed on the outside of the larger diameter plate portion 292, so only reduces the weight of the cover plate 29. If the cover plate 29 is removed on the inner end face of the smaller diameter plate portion 291, then the volume of the cover plate 29 changes in addition to the weight of the in the rear chamber 14 existing cavity 30, so that there is a clearer increase in buoyancy. Of course, here too, the weight of the cover plate 29 can be varied by selecting the density of the plate material.
  • Fig. 6 fill empty rear chamber 14 with a material completely or partially, the density and volume is selected according to the required buoyancy.
  • the material can also be used in the form of one or more individual buoyant bodies become.
  • the rear chamber 14 is then not sealed watertight, but flooded.
