Definitions

  • the invention relates to a starting device for starting an underwater hull and to a corresponding method in which an underwater hull is started by means of such a starting device.
  • underwater running bodies are started by over or underwater vehicles.
  • the necessary watercraft and their entertainment are very expensive.
  • the US 5,253,605 A discloses a starting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the problem to start underwater running body significantly cheaper.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of a starting device according to claim 1 for starting an underwater hull, which has a landside, in particular land movable, carrier system for transporting the underwater hull and a landfill system for land-based transport of the underwater hull in a coastal waters, wherein the carrier system comprises the movement system.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of a method according to claim 10 for starting a underwater hull with such a starting device, the underwater hull transported in a landside, in particular landward movable carrier system to a starting position and landed by means of a delivery system from the carrier system into a coastal waters and There is started from the starting device.
  • the invention is based on the finding that underwater running bodies do not necessarily have to be started from a sea-based platform, but that this is also possible by means of a land-based system.
  • the invention provides a land-based transport system by means of which can be spent directly from land underwater running body into the water and started there. This way are sea-based platforms dispensable, so that the use of expensive over- or underwater vehicles can be dispensed with.
  • the invention thus allows a significantly cheaper system for starting underwater running bodies, which is also very flexible due to its mobility.
  • the carrier system is a container, in particular a container movable on land side.
  • the carrier system is a vehicle with a container, in particular a tractor-trailer.
  • the starting device according to the invention therefore provides a carrier system, which is preferably a trailer for transporting the container.
  • the container may be firmly connected to a chassis.
  • the container is a forty-foot container with customary dimensions in commercial shipping.
  • Such containers have a length of 12.19 m, a width of 2.44 m and a height of 2.60 m.
  • the container is therefore designed according to ISO 668. This is advantageous because such a container can be loaded with conventional loading equipment on ships or trucks and trailers for receiving such standard containers. This facilitates the handling of such containers and reduces the costs incurred in the manufacture and use.
  • a particular embodiment of the container is a hazardous goods container, in particular a modified tank for transporting liquids.
  • the transport of the underwater hull is declared as dangerous goods, but not recognizable as Unterwasserlaufkörtrransport due to the shell of the container.
  • the bottom runner bodies are protected against transport and are particularly secure in the event of accidents.
  • the carrier system is a vehicle, in particular a vehicle, which is designed to transport loads, in particular a vehicle with a closable or open loading area with or without cover, in particular a tarpaulin.
  • the carrier system is thus advantageously a light truck, vans, vans, delivery vans or flatbed.
  • Another specific embodiment of the carrier system is a vehicle with one or more connected trailers with or without containers, in particular a truck trailer two- or multi-axle semitrailer, a three- or multi-axle semi-trailer or multi-axle articulated train.
  • Such vehicles are especially trailer trains, EuroCombi or road trains.
  • the trailers have unguided axles or alternatively one or more steered axles. This is advantageous because several underwater running bodies can be transported simultaneously and the load can be reduced by the weight of the underwater running bodies per axle.
  • An alternative embodiment of the carrier system is a rail vehicle with one or more wagons, in particular a railway carriage as a freight car or passenger coach, with or without their own drive. In this way, places on coastal waters can be reached by rail.
  • the carrier system preferably has an optically deceptive camouflage device, in particular an optical dune replica, rock replica or camouflage cover, for example a camouflage tent or a desert sand camouflage device.
  • the optical illusion comprises the reproduction of naturally given geographical features, in particular dunes, rocks or hills.
  • the surface structure of the replica is advantageously expandable with typical objects of the starting environment such as plants or rocks, in particular grass, shrubs or sand.
  • the camouflage device preferably has color and / or patterns of the start environment.
  • start environment is meant the environment in which the carrier system is to launch one of the underwater runners.
  • the delivery system has an outrigger, a trolley and a cable which can be extended to or from the carrier system, wherein the trolley can be moved on the outrigger and the cable can be connected directly or indirectly to the underwater hull at a first of its two ends and guided over the trolley is and with its second end in communication with a drive, by means of the extended boom and a outer end position on the boom moved trolley, the underwater body can be launched.
  • the underwater hull can thus be moved out with the help of the trolley and the movable boom from the carrier system and left over the water substantially vertically into the water and then started.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous because a controlled movement of the underwater body is ensured in the water even in shallow waters.
  • the underwater body can be started even at shallow water because it can be accelerated out of a steady, quiet horizontal position. This is made possible by the substantially vertical, guided on a rope lowering the underwater hull into a predetermined depth of water.
  • the transfer system has a cage for receiving the underwater hull, wherein the first end of the rope is connectable to the cage. Thanks to such a cage, the underwater hull does not require a declutching device to separate it from the rope, which would be required in an alternative direct attachment of the rope to the underwater hull. However, this would initially lead to a drop and thus to a vertical acceleration of the underwater body. Thanks to the cage, however, the underwater hull can be accelerated horizontally out of the cage.
  • the training as a cage, ie with only a few struts, which surround the underwater body, is particularly advantageous because when watering the underwater body no air must be displaced, as would be the case for example with a tubular container.
  • a cage is therefore also advantageous in terms of the necessary depth of water. If, in fact, a submergible hull with the propeller initially picking up a dynamic dive ride due to inclination, a substantially deeper depth of water would be required to start. However, thanks to the horizontal start orientation of the underwater hull supported by the cage, even shallow water depths are sufficient to start the underwater hull.
  • a tubular container is provided, in particular a tube, with at least one opening.
  • the distribution of forces when resting the underwater body is not limited to individual struts of the cage, but on the entire distributed overlying surface of the tubular container.
  • the tubular container has only one opening, which is located in the outlet direction of the underwater running body and has at least the diameter of the underwater running body.
  • a recoil when starting the underwater body is enforced by the container.
  • the underwater body thus receives a greater propulsion when starting.
  • such a tubular container after its entry into the water by ropes by means of clamping devices, in particular hooks or wedges, fixed, so that the forces of the recoil is counteracted.
  • the clamping devices are mounted in the direction of the opening of the container at least two opposite, lying relative to the longitudinal axis of the container bodies. This facilitates the controlled start of the underwater body despite recoil.
  • the tubular container has more than one opening, in particular a perforation, so that air in the container can escape when the container is being watered. This is advantageous because the air can otherwise cause buoyancy and thus an uncontrolled change in position under water.
  • the recoil is reduced when starting the underwater hull and in this way can be dispensed with fixation by means of clamping devices.
  • the boom is designed as a telescopic boom with a plurality of telescopic segments.
  • a telescopic boom allows longer boom reaches and thus a farther from the shore starting position in which larger water depths are expected.
  • the application possibilities of the starting device are thereby extended, as even with only gently sloping banks thus a shipment of the underwater body into the water is possible.
  • the container has a counterweight, which is arranged in the region of the end of the container, which is opposite an optionally closable, in particular rear-side, opening for extending the boom.
  • This embodiment is advantageous in view of longer boom reach, which tends to cause a greater tilting moment on the container with the risk of tilting of the container about a rear lower edge of the container or about a (rear) axis of a container carrying the trailer. Thanks to the counterweight can be counteracted such a tilting moment.
  • the counterweight thus allows longer boom reaches.
  • the boom is mounted in the upper region of the container.
  • the space below the boom for storing a plurality of underwater running bodies remains free. In this way, it is readily possible to accommodate a variety of underwater running bodies in a single container.
  • the movement system has a slide device, which is below a container underwater underwater running body or following a the underwater hull receiving cage starting over a closable, in particular rear-side opening of the container extending and downwards tilting extended.
  • a Unterwasserlaufisson can be spent on a slide into the water and then started.
  • the underwater running body requires for this purpose only an inclined slide, which is advantageously designed in the manner of a groove.
  • This slide begins in the container below the underwater hull or following the said cage and is extended in the course of take-off preparations by one or more sections outside the container. In this way, an application of the movement system is also possible on beaches or silty coastal sections where the immediate bank area is not passable.
  • the slide device therefore has a plurality of slide extension segments, which can be connected to one another.
  • the chute can be extended in such a way that even larger water depths can be reached, in which the underwater hull can be easily started without the risk of damage to the body of water.
  • the transfer system has a cage for receiving the underwater running body, wherein this cage can be pivoted by means of a drive about a pivot axis provided in the region of the container opening in a vertical plane. By pivoting this cage begins to slip from a predetermined angle of inclination of the underwater hull, so that it passes through the chute device into the water. The underwater hull is therefore released by pivoting the cage.
  • the transfer system comprises a catapult, by means of which the underwater hull is ejected from the carrier system, in particular a tensionable spring system.
  • the tensionable spring system preferably has elastic tension cables and a tensioning device.
  • the underwater running body has an attitude which is designed in such a way that the traction cable is released as soon as the traction cable is opposite to the tensioned tension direction.
  • the bracket is not visible due to a spring-driven flap when the pull rope is not connected. This is advantageous because the dynamic properties of the underwater body in the water remain unaffected.
  • the attachment points of the pull rope are displaceable in rails. These rails of the delivery system are fixedly mounted on the carrier system, in particular in the corners of the container.
  • the rails have both pulleys, as well as attachment points of the pull rope.
  • the pull rope is connected from the attachment point on the pulley with the holder of the underwater hull.
  • the underwater body is placed in the preloaded initial position of the catapult, but without forming tensile forces in the direction of ejection.
  • the thus biased underwater hull is connectable to a mounting device for the cassette on the carrier system. In this way, the support is given in the catapult, as long as the release mechanism does not release the tensile forces of the traction cables.
  • the tensile forces are increased by pulleys guided over pulleys by clamping, in particular via a winch at the attachment points of the pull rope.
  • the pull rope is stretched over extendable telescopic rails, in which at the end of the telescopic rail has a guide roller over which the pull rope runs.
  • a specific, illustrative example of the transfer system not according to the invention comprises two or more pull ropes per rail.
  • the brackets are attached to the underwater hull before and after the center of gravity of the underwater hull.
  • the underwater body is thus controlled by the tensioning process of the catapult in its orientation.
  • the trajectory of the underwater running body is predetermined from the catapult.
  • the transfer system has a non-return guard, as the triggering of the catapult may move the transfer system due to the inertia of the underwater hull.
  • the non-return device is designed as a wedge, triangular block, anchor or hook.
  • the catapult thus has a fastening device, in particular with a triggering system, and a tensioning device, in particular by means of deflection rollers and elastic tension cables.
  • a particular embodiment of the cage has a multi-part assembly, so that the base is separable from the surrounding part. This is advantageous because the underwater hull is secured transportable and yet on the elastic tension cables can be lifted out.
  • the carrier system is positionable in the area of the transfer system and the transfer system is stationary.
  • This example is advantageous in terms of transport costs, since the transfer system does not have to be carried, but the already existing on-site transfer system is usable. Furthermore, the movement system is weighted on the ground or moored to the ground and thus achieved a structural stability.
  • the carrier system can be positioned in the area of the movement system and the movement system portable and in particular movable on land.
  • the transfer system is not only on / on the carrier system after transport, but also mounted outside the carrier system.
  • An illustrative, non-inventive example of the movement system is therefore transportable and movable on land. This is advantageous since a carrier system does not necessarily have to transport the transfer system and the underwater hoppers, but instead the space in the carrier system could be used for a plurality of underwater hoppers. The transfer system can thus be transported by another carrier system. In alternative illustrative examples not according to the invention, a delivery system can be positioned for a plurality of carrier systems. As a result, the number of transfer systems can be reduced to a maximum of one. Hermit costs are saved.
  • a refillable container providing a counterbalance to the delivery system and reducing a stalling moment.
  • the transportable transport system it is according to the invention not necessary to transport the heavy massive counterweights to compensate for the weight of the underwater body, but only the unfilled container, which is beatbar by the water of the coastal waters. Alternatively to the water are too Sand, stones or other heavy materials can be filled into the container for the counterweight.
  • Another illustrative example of the transfer system not according to the invention is a lifting / crane device to which a cable is attached and which in turn is connected to the cage in which the underwater body is stored.
  • a lifting / crane device to which a cable is attached and which in turn is connected to the cage in which the underwater body is stored.
  • a specific illustrative example of the transfer system not according to the invention is a lifting / crane device which can be positioned and / or mounted on a fortified bank, in particular a quay or a rocky coast, and a crane arm with a reach ranging from the water to the carrier system. having.
