- the known device has a winch on the boat, over which the cable is wound and the buoy is pulled into a corresponding funnel-shaped receptacle within the hull, after which the receptacle is closed by means of a lid.
- a disadvantage of this known device is that the buoy is exposed to very different forces, which can lead to the buoy, when it floats on the surface, temporarily immersed in the water, whereby the communication is disturbed. This is due to the Unterertriebkraft of the cable, which varies greatly depending on the extension length and the vertical components of the force acting on the cable hydrodynamic forces, which also vary greatly. These forces typically increase significantly as the submarine picks up speed.
- the cheaper EP 1 270 400 A2 known device in which at a distance from the buoy on the cable a float is provided.
- the floating body disposed on the cable has the disadvantage that precautions must be taken so that this float can be fed without interference in the mast or in the submarine.
- the present invention seeks to improve a generic device.
- the inventive device for deploying, holding and / or introducing a cable-controlled communication buoy from a submarine submarine has a preferably variable in its effective length cable, which is provided for mechanical connection between submarine and Ltdunikationsboje and dos typically include the data connection can.

This float is advantageously dimensioned so that it receives all coming from the cable vertical forces, whether it is underdrive or hydrodynamic forces, so that the communication buoy free of such forces swim and thus meet their intended communication task trouble-free.
- a driver is provided on the cable at the location where the float is to be positioned after deployment, and in further coupling means which fix the float when deployed on the driver and release during insertion of the driver,
- Such a configuration has the advantage in that float and buoy can be stored immediately adjacent and thus space-saving inside the boat and that only when the float is deployed at the predetermined location, namely where the driver is provided on the cable, this is preferably determined automatically by coupling means and vice versa during insertion preferably automatically released from the driver.
- the float is expediently designed so that it is penetrated by the cable, so it is always held positively on this, but its longitudinal position on the cable by the coupling means is also preferably fixed form-fitting.
- the communication buoy By providing an additional float on the cable between the buoy and submarine near the buoy near the buoyancy functions for receiving the vertical forces of the cable on the one hand and the other to generate the necessary buoyancy for the communication buoy on the other hand spatially separated.
- the communication buoy floats behind the floating body, largely free of underdrive and vertical force components of hydrodynamic forces of the cable.
- the communication buoy can not only better fulfill its communication function in comparison to the prior art, but it can be structurally much better adapted to their task, also be made smaller and lighter, whereas the float must be designed exclusively for receiving the aforementioned forces.
- the device according to the invention is provided for discharging the communication buoy from the submarine, and also advantageously also for the subsequent reintroduction, which however does not necessarily have to be necessary depending on the intended purpose.
- buoy communication within the meaning of the invention is any buoyant sensor, any buoyant antenna but also a complex buoyant communication platform as exemplified DE 10115194 A1 It is known to understand, that is, a buoyant body that detects something above water and forwards through a data connection, for example Ober the cable to the submarine.
- the distance between the floating body and the buoy corresponds approximately to the distance between successive waves of the traveled sea. At this distance, it is ensured that the buoy can largely follow the sea and that it remains on the water surface in such a way that it can fulfill the intended functions. Although this distance can be made changeable within the device, it is expedient that the distance will be based on the mean wave distance of the body of water that is to be predominantly navigated by the submarine.
- the float is advantageously dimensioned according to the invention so that its buoyancy, consisting of a static and a dynamic portion, sufficient to accommodate the underdrive and the downward hydrodynamic forces of the cable, ie the float is suitably dimensioned so that its buoyancy such is that at maximum extended cable and maximum expected hydrodynamic forces of this over water or just below the water surface remains, ie that the lift is greater than the lower drive of the cable and the expected maximum vertical forces of the hydrodynamic loads.
- an adjustable position of the float can be provided on the cable to achieve the best possible adaptation to the current sea state, ie the shaft spacings and wave height, but it is often sufficient to maintain a predetermined distance between the float and communication buoy.
- a gear tray is arranged submarine side, which is provided for the insertion and removal of buoy and float.
- a device carrier is not only used for insertion and removal of buoy and float, but also holds these on the boat side, if they are only stored.

- buoy and float which is done regularly by pulling the cable into the submarine, that the float at the latest when he reaches the gear tray is disengaged from the driver so that he lets the cable through until the buoy the equipment rack has reached.
- device carrier side release means are provided, which are designed and arranged so that they open automatically when retracting the float in the equipment carrier, the clutch and thus release the seated there on the cable driver.
- the driver mounted on the cable is advantageously designed so that it is tapering towards both ends towards the cable and preferably has a circumferential groove in the area lying therebetween, which is provided for engaging positive locking means on the part of the coupling.
- the tapered design of the driver has the advantage that it runs self-centering in any guides and the inclined surfaces for engaging or disengaging or for actuating corresponding, spring-biased lever or the like can be used.
- the equipment rack is designed as a swinging tentacle for receiving buoy and float, which is pivotable together with buoy and float in a befindliches within the boat skin position, so that this tentacle both for receiving and for the purpose of buoy and Float can be used inside the boat.
- the cable is expediently guided in the longitudinal direction through the tentacle arm and can be wound up and unwound by means of a winch which is preferably located on the side of the flooded outer vessel.

- the communication buoy 2 is by means of a cable 4 to the submarine 1 both mechanically and data-connected.
- a float 5 is arranged at a distance from the communication buoy 2, which ensures that the communication buoy 2 is free of vertical forces caused by the cable 4, these are by the Float 5 added.
- the communication buoy 2 thus floats at a distance from the floating body 5. If the floating body 5 immerses due to increasing load below the water surface 3 and thereby can form its dynamic portion of the buoyancy, this has no noticeable influence on the trailing communication buoy 2.
- the distance between Wiennikationsboje 2 and float 5 is chosen so that it corresponds approximately to the distance of successive waves, ie the distance successive wave peaks or successive troughs of the busy lake. This distance is determined by the cable length between float 5 and communication buoy 2.
- Submarine side a tentacle 6 is pivotally mounted about an axis 7.
- the pivoting movement of the tentacle 6 is controlled by a lifting cylinder 8.

It may optionally be provided by the cable 4, a power supply for the communication buoy 2, the data connection is preferably via one or more optical fibers.
- the float 5 is penetrated by the cable 4, as shown in the enlarged detail shown in FIG. 2 is apparent.
- the float 5 also has a coupling 11 which fixes the float 5 in a form-fitting manner on a driver 12 which is arranged on the cable 4.
- the coupling 11 is designed so that when the cable 4 is extended, when the driver 12 reaches the coupling 11, it automatically locks it and thus fixes the floating body 5 at the predetermined location on the cable 4.
- float 5 and communication buoy 2 is, as shown in the FIGS. 3 to 5 is shown, with swung-out tentacle 6 which runs through the tentacle 6 cable 4 wound by means of the winch 10, whereby initially the float 5 and subsequently also the communication buoy 2 are pulled under water.
- the position just before the cable 4 is wound to the extent that the float 5 has reached the equipment carrier 9 is in FIG. 3 shown.
- the coupling 11 is automatically released by the equipment carrier 9, so then the driver 12 can be pulled through the equipment carrier in the direction of the winch 10, whereas the float 5 is set within the equipment carrier.

Floating body 5 and communication buoy 2 are designed so that they intermesh with one another in their inserted position on the equipment carrier 9 and on the equipment carrier 9 are determined, as well as on the basis of FIG. 5 is shown. In this position, the tentacle 6 is pivoted by means of the lifting cylinder 8 and then the recess located above it closed in the boat skin.
- the application takes place in the reverse direction, wherein after swinging the tentacle 6, the winch 10 is driven in the unwinding, after which buoyancy initially the communication buoy 2 exits the equipment rack 9.
- the float 5 is still set in the equipment carrier 9, the cable 4 slides through the float 5 through until the driver 12 passes into the region of the float 5, so that the clutch 11 automatically engages the driver 12 and then the float 5 from the Device carrier 9 extends.
- the function of the clutch 11 is based on FIGS. 6 to 8 shown in detail.
- the coupling 11 has a central support body 13 which is fixedly connected to the actual floating body 5, which has a central recess 14 for the passage of the cable 4 and are arranged offset at the three pivot lever 15 by 120 ° to the cable axis 4.
- the pivot levers 15 are pivotable about approximately tangentially to the cable axis arranged pivot axes 16 and have a radially inwardly facing latch projection 17 and an extending beyond control part 18.

- the driver 12 has a first, tapering to the bottom end of the cable 4 cone 20, which is fixedly connected to the cable 4, and an oppositely directed significantly larger cone 21. Between the two cones 20, 21, a circumferential groove 22 is formed.
- the conical surface 20 of the cone 20 presses when retracting into the coupling 11, the inner ends of the locking projections 17 to the outside, until the groove 22 passes in the region of the locking projections 17 and this due to the force of Springs 19 are pivoted into the groove 22 and thus close the clutch 11 and the float 5 form fit to the driver 12 set.

- the recess 24 is laterally provided with 2 eccentrically mounted rollers which are spring-loaded and which are pressed apart by the inserted into the recess pins. Due to the resulting friction between pins and eccentrics in conjunction with the suitably selected position of the pivot points of the eccentric unwanted re-occurrence of the pins is prevented from the recesses.
- the inserted into the recess 24 pins are fixed non-positively and thus the float 5 is firmly connected to the equipment carrier 9.
- an energy-operated actuator is provided which opens the eccentric rollers 25. The time of opening is monitored by a suitable sensor or mechanism.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Aufbringen, Halten und/oder Einbringen einer kabelgeführten Kommunikationsboje von einem unter Wasser befindlichen Unterseeboot aus gemäß den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a device for applying, holding and / or introducing a cable-controlled communication buoy from a submarine underwater according to the features specified in the preamble of
Insbesondere bei militärisch genutzten Unterseebooten zählt es zum Stand der Technik, von getauchtem Zustand aus eine sog. Kommunikationsboje an die Wasseroberfläche aufsteigen zu lassen, so dass je nach Ausstattung der Boje Funkverkehr, Satellitennavigation, optische Beobachtungen und dergleichen aus getauchtem Zustand heraus durchgeführt werden können. Eine solche Kommunikationsboje sowie auch eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung zum Ausbringen, Halten und Einbringen einer kabelgeführten Kommunikationsboje ist aus
Dort sind diverse Antennen, Sensoren, und Kommunikationsmittel in einer schwimmfähigen Boje vereint, die über ein Kabel, welches sowohl zur Datenübertragung als auch zur mechanischen Verbindung zwischen Boje und Unterseeboot vorgesehen ist, mit dem Unterseeboot verbunden ist. Die bekannte Einrichtung weist bootseitig eine Winde auf, über welche das Kabel aufgewickelt und die Boje in eine entsprechend trichterförmige Aufnahme innerhalb des Bootskörpers gezogen wird, wonach die Aufnahme mittels eines Deckels verschlossen wird.There are various antennas, sensors, and communication means in a buoyant buoy united, which is connected via a cable, which is intended for both data transmission and mechanical connection between the buoy and submarine, with the submarine. The known device has a winch on the boat, over which the cable is wound and the buoy is pulled into a corresponding funnel-shaped receptacle within the hull, after which the receptacle is closed by means of a lid.
Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Einrichtung ist, dass die Boje sehr unterschiedlichen Kräften ausgesetzt ist, was dazu führen kann, dass die Boje, wenn sie an der Oberfläche schwimmt, zeitweise ins Wasser eintaucht, wodurch die Kommunikation gestört wird. Hierfür ursächlich ist die Untertriebkraft des Kabels, die je nach Ausfahrlänge stark variiert sowie die vertikalen Komponenten der auf das Kabel wirkenden hydrodynamischen Kräfte, die ebenfalls stark schwanken. Diese Kräfte steigen typischer Weise deutlich an, wenn das Unterseeboot Fahrt aufnimmt.A disadvantage of this known device is that the buoy is exposed to very different forces, which can lead to the buoy, when it floats on the surface, temporarily immersed in the water, whereby the communication is disturbed. This is due to the Unterertriebkraft of the cable, which varies greatly depending on the extension length and the vertical components of the force acting on the cable hydrodynamic forces, which also vary greatly. These forces typically increase significantly as the submarine picks up speed.
Insoweit günstiger ist die aus
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung zu verbessern.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to improve a generic device.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und der Zeichnung.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in
Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung zum Ausbringen, Halten und/oder Einbringen einer kabelgeführten Kommunikationsboje von einem unter Wasser befindlichen Unterseeboot aus weist ein vorzugsweise in seiner wirksamen Länge veränderbares Kabel auf, welches zur mechanischen Verbindung zwischen Unterseeboot und Kommunikationsboje vorgesehen ist und dos typischer Weise auch die Datenverbindung beinhalten kann. Mit Abstand zum bojenseitigen Ende des Kabels ist ein Schwimmkörper am Kabel vorgesehen. Dieser Schwimmkörper ist vorteilhaft so dimensioniert, dass er sämtliche vom Kabel kommenden vertikalen Kräfte, sei es Untertrieb oder auch hydrodynamische Kräfte aufnimmt, sodass die Kommunikationsboje frei von solchen Kräften schwimmen und somit ihre bestimmungsgemäße Kommunikationsaufgabe störungsfrei erfüllen kann. Gemäß der Erfindung ist am Kabel an der Stelle, an welcher der Schwimmkörper nach dem Ausbringen positioniert sein soll, ein Mitnehmer vorgesehen sowie im weiteren Kupplungsmittel, welche den Schwimmkörper beim Ausbringen am Mitnehmer festlegen und beim Einbringen vom Mitnehmer lösen, Eine solche Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, dass innerhalb des Bootes Schwimmer und Boje unmittelbar benachbart und somit Platz sparend gelagert werden können und dass erst beim Ausbringen des Schwimmkörpers an der vorbestimmten Stelle, nämlich dort wo der Mitnehmer am Kabel vorgesehen ist, dieser durch Kupplungsmittel vorzugsweise selbsttätig festgelegt wird und umgekehrt beim Einbringen vorzugsweise selbsttätig vom Mitnehmer gelöst wird. Dabei ist der Schwimmkörper zweckmäßiger Weise so ausgebildet, dass er vom Kabel durchsetzt wird, also stets formschlüssig auf diesem gehalten ist, jedoch seine Längsposition auf dem Kabel durch die Kupplungsmittel ebenfalls vorzugsweise formschlüssig festgelegt ist.The inventive device for deploying, holding and / or introducing a cable-controlled communication buoy from a submarine submarine has a preferably variable in its effective length cable, which is provided for mechanical connection between submarine and Kommunikationsboje and dos typically include the data connection can. By far from the bottom end of the cable is a float provided on the cable. This float is advantageously dimensioned so that it receives all coming from the cable vertical forces, whether it is underdrive or hydrodynamic forces, so that the communication buoy free of such forces swim and thus meet their intended communication task trouble-free. According to the invention, a driver is provided on the cable at the location where the float is to be positioned after deployment, and in further coupling means which fix the float when deployed on the driver and release during insertion of the driver, Such a configuration has the advantage in that float and buoy can be stored immediately adjacent and thus space-saving inside the boat and that only when the float is deployed at the predetermined location, namely where the driver is provided on the cable, this is preferably determined automatically by coupling means and vice versa during insertion preferably automatically released from the driver. In this case, the float is expediently designed so that it is penetrated by the cable, so it is always held positively on this, but its longitudinal position on the cable by the coupling means is also preferably fixed form-fitting.
Durch das Vorsehen eines zusätzlichen Schwimmkörpers am Kabel zwischen Boje und Unterseeboot im bojennahen Bereich wird die Auftriebsfunktionen zur Aufnahme der vertikalen Kräfte des Kabels einerseits und die zur Erzeugung des notwendigen Auftriebs für die Kommunikationsboje andererseits räumlich getrennt. Hierdurch schwimmt die Kommunikationsboje kabelgebunden hinter dem Schwimmkörper her, weitgehend frei von Untertrieb und vertikalen Kraftanteilen hydrodynamischer Kräfte des Kabels. Hierdurch kann die Kommunikationsboje nicht nur ihre Kommunikationsfunktion im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik besser erfüllen, sie kann vielmehr konstruktiv viel besser an ihre Aufgabe angepasst werden, zudem kleiner und leichter gestaltet werden, wohingegen der Schwimmkörper ausschließlich zur Aufnahme der vorgenannten Kräfte ausgelegt werden muss.By providing an additional float on the cable between the buoy and submarine near the buoy near the buoyancy functions for receiving the vertical forces of the cable on the one hand and the other to generate the necessary buoyancy for the communication buoy on the other hand spatially separated. As a result, the communication buoy floats behind the floating body, largely free of underdrive and vertical force components of hydrodynamic forces of the cable. In this way, the communication buoy can not only better fulfill its communication function in comparison to the prior art, but it can be structurally much better adapted to their task, also be made smaller and lighter, whereas the float must be designed exclusively for receiving the aforementioned forces.
Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung ist zum Ausbringen der Kommunikationsboje vom Unterseeboot aus vorgesehen, sowie weiter vorteilhaft auch zum nachfolgenden Wiedereinbringen, was jedoch je nach Bestimmungszweck nicht zwingend erforderlich sein muss.The device according to the invention is provided for discharging the communication buoy from the submarine, and also advantageously also for the subsequent reintroduction, which however does not necessarily have to be necessary depending on the intended purpose.
Unter Kommunikationsboje im Sinne der Erfindung ist dabei jeder schwimmfähige Sensor, jede schwimmfähige Antenne aber auch eine komplexe schwimmfähig Kommunikationsplattform wie sie beispielhaft aus
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Abstand zwischen Schwimmkörper und Boje etwa dem Abstand aufeinander folgender Wellen der befahrenen See entspricht. Bei diesem Abstand ist gewährleistet, dass die Boje weitgehend dem Seegang folgen kann und dass sie derart an der Wasseroberfläche bleibt, dass sie die bestimmungsgemäßen Funktionen erfüllen kann. Zwar kann dieser Abstand innerhalb der Einrichtung veränderbar ausgebildet sein, zweckmäßiger Weise wird sich der Abstand jedoch nach dem mittleren Wellenabstand des Gewässers richten, das mit dem Unterseeboot überwiegend befahren werden soll.It is particularly advantageous if the distance between the floating body and the buoy corresponds approximately to the distance between successive waves of the traveled sea. At this distance, it is ensured that the buoy can largely follow the sea and that it remains on the water surface in such a way that it can fulfill the intended functions. Although this distance can be made changeable within the device, it is expedient that the distance will be based on the mean wave distance of the body of water that is to be predominantly navigated by the submarine.
Der Schwimmkörper ist gemäß der Erfindung vorteilhaft so dimensioniert, dass sein Auftrieb, bestehend aus einem statischen und einem dynamischen Anteil, ausreicht um den Untertrieb und die nach unten gerichteten hydrodynamischen Kräfte des Kabels aufzunehmen, d. h. der Schwimmkörper wird zweckmäßiger Weise so dimensioniert, dass sein Auftrieb derart ist, dass bei maximal ausgefahrenem Kabel und maximal zu erwartenden hydrodynamischen Kräften dieser über Wasser oder kurz unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche angeordnet bleibt, d. h. dass der Auftrieb größer als der Untertrieb des Kabels und der zu erwartenden maximalen vertikalen Kräfte der hydrodynamischen Belastungen ist.The float is advantageously dimensioned according to the invention so that its buoyancy, consisting of a static and a dynamic portion, sufficient to accommodate the underdrive and the downward hydrodynamic forces of the cable, ie the float is suitably dimensioned so that its buoyancy such is that at maximum extended cable and maximum expected hydrodynamic forces of this over water or just below the water surface remains, ie that the lift is greater than the lower drive of the cable and the expected maximum vertical forces of the hydrodynamic loads.
Zwar kann eine verstellbare Position des Schwimmkörpers am Kabel vorgesehen sein, um eine möglichst optimale Anpassung an den aktuellen Seegang, also die Wellenabstände und Wellenhöhe erzielen, doch genügt es häufig auch, einen zuvor festgelegten Abstand zwischen Schwimmkörper und Kommunikationsboje einzuhalten.Although an adjustable position of the float can be provided on the cable to achieve the best possible adaptation to the current sea state, ie the shaft spacings and wave height, but it is often sufficient to maintain a predetermined distance between the float and communication buoy.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist unterseebootseitig ein Geräteträger angeordnet, der zum Ein- und Ausbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper vorgesehen ist. Ein solcher Geräteträger dient nicht nur zum Ein- und Ausbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper, sondern hält diese auch bootsseitig, wenn diese nur gelagert werden.Conveniently, a gear tray is arranged submarine side, which is provided for the insertion and removal of buoy and float. Such a device carrier is not only used for insertion and removal of buoy and float, but also holds these on the boat side, if they are only stored.
Um beim Ausbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper sicherzustellen, dass der Schwimmkörper an der vorgesehenen Stelle des Kabels, nämlich dort wo sich der Mitnehmer befindet, festgelegt wird, ist es zweckmäßig am Schwimmerkörper eine Kupplung vorzusehen die so ausgebildet ist, dass sie beim Ausfahren des Kabels selbsttätig den Schwimmkörper am Mitnehmer formschlüssig festlegt, also durch Einfahren des Mitnehmers in den Schwimmkörper verriegelt. Umgekehrt ist es beim Einbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper, was regelmäßig durch Einziehen des Kabels in das Unterseeboot erfolgt, wesentlich, dass der Schwimmkörper spätestens wenn er den Geräteträger erreicht, vom Mitnehmer entkuppelt wird, damit er das Kabel durchlässt, bis auch die Boje den Geräteträger erreicht hat. Hierfür sind gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung geräteträgerseitig Auslösemittel vorgesehen, welche so ausgebildet und angeordnet sind, dass sie beim Einfahren des Schwimmkörpers in den Geräteträger die Kupplung selbsttätig öffnen und somit den dort auf dem Kabel sitzenden Mitnehmer freigeben.In order to ensure when deploying the buoy and float that the float at the intended location of the cable, namely where the driver is set, is determined, it is expedient to provide the float body a coupling which is designed so that it automatically when extending the cable fixes the float on the driver form-fitting, so locked by retraction of the driver in the float. Conversely, it is essential in the introduction of buoy and float, which is done regularly by pulling the cable into the submarine, that the float at the latest when he reaches the gear tray is disengaged from the driver so that he lets the cable through until the buoy the equipment rack has reached. For this purpose, according to an embodiment of the invention device carrier side release means are provided, which are designed and arranged so that they open automatically when retracting the float in the equipment carrier, the clutch and thus release the seated there on the cable driver.
Der auf dem Kabel befestigte Mitnehmer ist vorteilhaft so ausgebildet, dass er zu beiden Enden zum Kabel hin zulaufend vorzugsweise konisch zulaufend ausgebildet ist und in dem dazwischen liegenden Bereich eine umlaufende Nut aufweist, welche zum Eingriff von Formschlussmitteln seitens der Kupplung vorgesehen ist. Die zulaufende Ausbildung des Mitnehmers hat den Vorteil, dass dieser selbst zentrierend in etwaige Führungen einläuft und die Schrägflächen zum Ein- bzw. Auskuppeln bzw. zum Betätigen entsprechender, federvorgespannter Hebel oder dergleichen genutzt werden können.The driver mounted on the cable is advantageously designed so that it is tapering towards both ends towards the cable and preferably has a circumferential groove in the area lying therebetween, which is provided for engaging positive locking means on the part of the coupling. The tapered design of the driver has the advantage that it runs self-centering in any guides and the inclined surfaces for engaging or disengaging or for actuating corresponding, spring-biased lever or the like can be used.
Zweckmäßiger Weise erfolgt das Ein- und Ausbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper mit gewissen Abstand zum Bootskörper, damit sich diese Teile nicht gegenseitig behindern. Hierzu ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung der Geräteträger als ausschwenkbarer Fangarm zur Aufnahme von Boje und Schwimmkörper ausgebildet, der zusammen mit Boje und Schwimmkörper in eine innerhalb der Bootshaut befindliche Stellung schwenkbar ist, so dass dieser Fangarm sowohl zur Aufnahme als auch zum Verbringen von Boje und Schwimmkörper ins Bootsinnere genutzt werden kann.Appropriately, the insertion and removal of buoy and float takes place with a certain distance from the hull, so that these parts do not interfere with each other. For this purpose, according to an embodiment of the invention, the equipment rack is designed as a swinging tentacle for receiving buoy and float, which is pivotable together with buoy and float in a befindliches within the boat skin position, so that this tentacle both for receiving and for the purpose of buoy and Float can be used inside the boat.
Das Kabel ist zweckmäßiger Weise in Längsrichtung durch den Fangarm geführt und mittels einer bootsseitigen, vorzugsweise innerhalb des durchfluteten Außenschiffs liegenden Winde auf- und abwickelbar.The cable is expediently guided in the longitudinal direction through the tentacle arm and can be wound up and unwound by means of a winch which is preferably located on the side of the flooded outer vessel.

Sobald der auf dem Kabel im Bereich des Mitnehmers 12 festgelegte Schwimmkörper 5 den Geräteträger 9 erreicht, wird durch den Geräteträger 9 selbsttätig die Kupplung 11 gelöst, sodass dann der Mitnehmer 12 durch den Geräteträger hindurch in Richtung zur Winde 10 gezogen werden kann, wohingegen der Schwimmkörper 5 innerhalb des Geräteträgers festgelegt wird.
Bei weiteren Aufwickeln des Kabels 4 mittels der Winde 10 gelangt schließlich die Kommunikationsboje 2 zu dem bereits mit dem Schwimmkörper 5 belegten Geräteträger 9. Schwimmkörper 5 und Kommunikationsboje 2 sind so ausgebildet, dass diese in Ihrer eingebrachten Stellung am Geräteträger 9 formschlüssig ineinander greifen und am Geräteträger 9 festgelegt sind, sowie dies anhand von

Das Ausbringen erfolgt in umgekehrter Richtung, wobei nach Ausschwenken des Fangarms 6 die Winde 10 in Abwickelrichtung angesteuert wird, wonach auftriebsbedingt zunächst die Kommunikationsboje 2 aus dem Geräteträger 9 austritt. Dabei ist der Schwimmkörper 5 noch im Geräteträger 9 festgelegt, das Kabel 4 gleitet durch den Schwimmkörper 5 hindurch bis der Mitnehmer 12 in den Bereich des Schwimmkörpers 5 gelangt, so dass die Kupplung 11 selbsttätig am Mitnehmer 12 einkuppelt und dann auch der Schwimmkörper 5 aus dem Geräteträger 9 ausfährt.The application takes place in the reverse direction, wherein after swinging the

Der Mitnehmer 12 weist einen ersten, zum bojenseitigen Ende des Kabels 4 zulaufenden Konus 20 auf, der fest mit dem Kabel 4 verbunden ist, sowie einen entgegengesetzt gerichteten deutlich größeren Konus 21. Zwischen den beiden Konen 20, 21 ist eine umlaufende Nut 22 gebildet.The
Der kleine Konus 20 dient zum Öffnen der Kupplung 11. Die Konusfläche des Konus 20 drückt beim Einfahren in die Kupplung 11 die inneren Enden der Riegelvorsprünge 17 nach außen, solange bis die Nut 22 in dem Bereich der Riegelvorsprünge 17 gelangt und diese aufgrund der Kraft der Federn 19 in die Nut 22 eingeschwenkt werden und damit die Kupplung 11 schließen und den Schwimmkörper 5 formschlüssig am Mitnehmer 12 festlegen.The
Der große Konus 21 dient im Wesentlichen zum zentrieren des Kabels 4 beim Einfahren in den rohrförmigen Geräteträger 9. Das Rohrende ist dabei von innen nach außen hin abgeschrägt ausgebildet, so dass beim Einfahren des Mitnehmers 12 die Steuerteile 18 der Kupplung 11 nach Außen geschwenkt werden, wodurch, die Schwenkhebel 15 mit den Riegelvorsprüngen 17 außer Eingriff mit der Nut 22 gelangen und somit der Mitnehmer 12 zusammen mit dem Kabel 4 in den Geräteträger 9 weiter eingezogen werden kann. Der Schwimmkörper 5 wird dabei selbsttätig im Geräteträger 9 festgelegt, hierfür sind am Tragkörper 13 drei ebenfalls um 120 ° um die Kabelachse angeordnete langestreckte Stifte 23 angelenkt, die nur eng begrenzt schwenkbar sind und jeweils zur Aufnahme in einer entsprechend ausgebildeten Ausnehmung 24 im Geräteträger 9 bestimmt sind. Die Ausnehmung 24 ist seitlich mit 2 exzentrisch gelagerten Rollen versehen, welche federbelastet sind und welche durch die in die Ausnehmung eingeführten Stifte auseinander gedrückt werden. Durch die dadurch entstehende Reibung zwischen Stiften und Exzentern in Verbindung mit der zweckmäßig gewählten Lage der Drehpunkte der Exzenter wird ein ungewolltes Wideraustreten der Stifte aus den Ausnehmungen verhindert. Die in die Ausnehmung 24 eingeführten Stifte sind kraftschlüssig festgelegt und somit ist der Schwimmkörper 5 fest mit dem Geräteträger 9 verbunden. Zum Lösen dieser Verbindung, was beim Ausbringen des Schwimmkörpers 5 erfolgen muss, ist ein energiebetriebenes Stellglied vorgesehen, welches die Exzenterrollen 25 öffnet. Der Zeitpunkt des Öffnens ist durch einen geeigneten Sensor oder Mechanismus überwacht.The
