Definitions

  • the invention relates to a submarine according to the features indicated in the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 101 15 194 A1 describes a spherical buoy, in which various antennas, sensors and communication means are united. This buoy is connected by a cable, which is intended for both data transmission and mechanical connection between buoy and submarine, with the submarine.
  • the known device has a winch on the boat side, over which the cable is wound and the buoy is pulled into a funnel-shaped receptacle inside the hull, after which the receptacle is closed by means of a cover.
  • equipment carriers For communication buoys of this type devices with arranged in the hull equipment carriers are known in which the equipment carrier can be spent for loading and unloading the buoys in a position outside of the hull.
  • the equipment carrier is attached to such devices on a pivot arm with which it can be pivoted through an opening in the outer skin of the submarine to a position outside of the hull.
  • a communication buoy in a position below an upper deck at the rear of the tower between the pressure hull and outer skin can be safely stored with low space requirements and deployed in a submerged state of the submarine and can be obtained again.
  • the submarine according to the invention has a cable-controlled communication buoy, which in the non-active, i. is stored in unused condition in a storage position between the pressure hull and the outer skin in a device carrier.
  • the storage position is a position below an upper deck provided at the rear of the tower of the submarine.
  • the outer skin of the submarine has a closable opening through which the equipment carrier for deploying or for retrieving the communication buoy is moved to a position outside the outer skin. In this position, the application and retrieval of the communication buoy is carried out in the usual way by unwinding or winding the guide cable from or to a winch.
  • the equipment carrier means are provided for translational movement of the equipment carrier, with which the equipment carrier from the storage position to a position for insertion and removal of the communication buoy on the outside of the outer skin and vice versa is movable.
  • the equipment carrier can be moved from a position in the vicinity of the pressure body in a rectilinear motion normal to the pressure body by a direct over the device carrier on the outer skin provided opening to a position outside the outer skin and back.
  • the implement carrier is operatively connected to at least one hydraulically actuable lifting cylinder.
  • the device carrier may be guided in a guide in the extension or retraction, wherein the force is exerted to move the device carrier via a directly or indirectly acting on the device carrier lifting cylinder.
  • the lifting cylinder but even the leadership of the device carrier.
  • the equipment rack is conveniently mounted directly on the extendable end of the lift cylinder. The movement of the device carrier follows in this case immediately the extension movement of the lifting cylinder.
  • the design of the lifting cylinder as a telescopic cylinder provides the ability to store the device carrier with the communication buoy located on the buoy cylinder between the pressure hull and outer skin of the submarine space-saving, on the other hand allows the telescoping of the lifting cylinder sufficient stroke around the equipment carrier with the communication buoy in a position outside the outer skin of the submarine.
  • the lifting cylinder is claimed at both outside of the outer skin device carrier both flow forces and by the force exerted by the guide cable forces, it is advantageously dimensioned and designed so that it can absorb these acting as lateral forces loads and associated moments.
  • a support is provided for this purpose, which supports the lifting cylinder transversely to its extension direction.
  • the support is suitably arranged and designed so that acting on the lifting cylinder transverse forces and moments transmitted from the lifting cylinder on the support and from there into the pressure hull or possibly in a pressure-body side arranged foundation of lifting cylinder and support can be forwarded.
  • the invention provides distributively gripping means which fix the communication buoy in the equipment carrier in the storage position at least in a form-fitting manner. Accordingly, at least two opposing mechanical gripping arms are provided, which grasp a region of the communication buoy at substantially diametrically spaced sides and fix in a form-fitting manner, optionally additionally in a non-positive manner.
  • the gripping means are preferably formed hydraulically actuated.
  • a gripping means for example, parallel gripper can be used, in which two parallel aligned gripping arms for gripping the communication buoy are linearly movable toward each other.
  • the gripping means preferably have at least one hydraulically actuable angular gripper.
  • the gripper arms forming the angle gripper can be provided which, when pivoted towards one another, engage around and hold a portion of the communication buoy located in the storage position.
  • the device carrier is expediently mounted elastically on the pressure body of the submarine.

  • the gripping means for fixing the communication buoy in the storage position are then arranged on this foundation.
  • the device carrier preferably has at least one guide roller for guiding the guide cable of the communication buoy.
  • the guide roller is preferably arranged on the side of the device carrier, which faces the arranged on the pressure hull winch for removal and insertion of the guide cable. Between the winch and the equipment carrier, it forms a deflection roller by means of which the alignment of the guide cable from a first direction on the windage side of the equipment carrier is deflected in a second direction on the side of the device carrier. Since a transverse force component of the tensile force exerted on the guide cable acts on the linear drive, the deflection roller or the deflection rollers can be arranged on the equipment carrier such that the transverse force component acting on the linear drive of this tensile force is as small as possible.

  • the rotary cylinder is coupled to the flap, that the rotational movement of the movable part of the rotary cylinder is transmitted to the flap.
  • two flaps are provided with associated rotary cylinders, wherein the flaps are arranged so that they are flush in the closed position with the outer skin.
  • each flap is expediently hydraulically lockable.
  • locking components may be provided, wherein by means of hydraulically actuatable actuators e.g. a positive connection between a flap and the outer skin or a positive connection between the valves can be produced.
