Definitions

  • the invention relates to a submarine with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • emergency exit locks through which the crew can leave the submarine in an underwater habitat.
  • emergency exit from the submarine usually enters a person the emergency exit lock, whereupon the emergency exit sluice is flooded and after a pressure equalization between the outer environment of the submarine and the interior of the emergency exit lock a the emergency exit lock otherwise outwardly closing lid is opened.
  • the person in the emergency exit lock can now swim from the open emergency exit lock to the water surface.
  • submarine rescue suits for example, in DE 10 2010 023 518 A1 and GB 2 441 959 A are described, mostly suits with a user's head covering hood and an air-filled collar as a buoyant body.
  • the hood of the submarine rescue suit is also filled with air and serves as Atemluftreservoir and as another buoyant body.
  • the invention has the object to improve a submarine to the effect that the emergency exit via an emergency exit lock can be done in a simpler manner.
  • the submarine according to the invention has at least one emergency exit lock over which the crew can leave the submarine in an underwater habitat.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to arrange in the emergency exit lock a holding device with retaining means arranged on the boat side for detachable attachment to a submarine rescue suit, in which the holding means prevent a person located in the emergency exit sluice during flooding the emergency exit sluice. Instead, since their submarine rescue suit is firmly connected to the boat structure via the retaining means, this person is kept in a desired position in the emergency exit lock against the buoyancy force, without this being associated with exerting force for that person.
  • the holding device may be an integral part of the emergency exit lock or it may also be stored elsewhere in the submarine in the presence of appropriate coupling means in the emergency exit lock and on the holding device for fast attachment of the holding device in the emergency exit lock, wherein in the latter case before emergency evacuation of the submarine must be made via the emergency exit lock in the emergency exit lock and fixed there.
  • a control device is provided according to the invention, which is designed for the automatic release of the holding means.
  • the control device can be activated by the opening outer cover of the emergency exit lock, so that the control device is activated when this cover is pivoted into its position releasing the exit opening of the emergency exit lock and causes the release of the retaining means, d. H. the connection of the submarine rescue suit with the boat structure is solved. Also advantageously, a configuration is conceivable in which the control device can be actuated manually by the person in the emergency exit lock.
  • the automatic release of the retaining means by the control device is preferably carried out on the submarine rescue suit, so that the retaining means remain in the emergency exit lock and other persons still in the submarine at their emergency exit the submarine in the emergency exit lock. It should be noted that in principle, such a configuration is conceivable in which the holding means are solved on the boat side, so the holding means are separated from the boat structure, where they are still connected to the submarine rescue suit.
  • the retaining device of the submarine according to the invention arranged in the emergency exit lock preferably has, as a retaining means, a traction means which can be connected to the boat structure and has a fitting which can be fastened to a submarine rescue suit at its free end.
  • the traction means may be z.
  • Example to act a belt, a belt or a rope, which have the advantage of being flexible transversely to its longitudinal extent and therefore not substantially limit the freedom of movement of persons located in the emergency exit and only prevent movement in the direction of a tensile stress of the traction device .
  • all stop means come into question, which allow a detachable connection with a submarine rescue suit and for this purpose preferably have a releasable closure.
  • the fitting may be a snap-hook or a snap-action shackle that can be easily hooked to a tab formed on the submarine rescue suit and then provide a secure connection between the traction device and the submarine rescue suit, but with a connection appropriate actuation of the shutter or snappers of the fitting can be solved quickly.
  • the holding device on a winch on which the traction means is wound up.
  • the traction means is wound on the winch so far that the person standing on the floor of the emergency exit lock, to whose submarine rescue suit the traction means is fastened via its fitting, is taut and the person in holds this position.
  • the winch is typically fixed by suitable means in this situation.
  • the determination of the winch is released, so that the traction device, when the person starts to swim, unwinds from the winch before the traction device is released from the submarine rescue suit of the person floating up.
  • this preferably has a manually operable brake.
  • This brake is preferably designed hydraulically acting, d. H. a brake body, the brake fixedly arranged in the holding device, is pressed onto a rotatable part of the winch by setting the winch by pressurizing with a hydraulic fluid. Otherwise, the design of the brake is basically arbitrary.
  • the holding device of the submarine advantageously has a second traction means which can be fastened to the boat structure of the submarine and which is connected to a closure formed on the fitting of the first traction means.
  • This second traction device which, like the first traction means attached to the submarine rescue suit, may preferably be a belt, belt or rope, is of such a length that when the person in the emergency exit lock stands on the floor of the emergency exit lock the end of the flooding of the emergency exit lock and End of the pressure compensation awaits therein, with the formed on the fitting of the first traction device closure, which is to be understood as a release mechanism of this closure is limp connected, so is not tense.
  • the second pulling means When the person in the emergency exit lock floats to leave the submarine, the second pulling means is tensioned, whereby a tensile force is exerted on the closure or on the mechanism of the closure, which opens the closure, so that the first pulling means releases from the submarine rescue suit and the person in the submarine rescue suit can freely float out of the emergency exit hatch to the surface.
  • the second traction means is expediently shorter than the first traction means.
  • the traction means unwound when leaving the emergency exit lock should again be available to a person to be subsequently ejected via the emergency exit lock with a length which prevents that person from floating during the flooding of the emergency exit lock.
  • the winch on which the first traction means is wound according to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a return device for automatically winding the traction means on the winch.
  • This return device is advantageously formed by a spring element, which is preferably connected on the one hand with a rotatable part of the winch and on the other hand with a fixed part of the holding device or optionally with the hull.
  • the spring element may be a flexural spring element which, when the first traction means is unwound while the person is floating in the emergency exit lock while the winch is revolving, then relaxes when the first traction element is released from the submarine rescue suit , whereby the winch is set in a rotational movement, in which the traction means is wound up again on the winch.
  • Fig. 1 shown submarine 2 has a tower 4 on its upper side.
  • an emergency exit lock 6 is formed, via which the crew can leave the submarine 2 in the event of an underwater disaster.
  • the emergency exit lock 6, the in Fig. 1 not in the right proportions to the submarine, but this is shown enlarged, a way from the inside of a
  • the emergency exit lock 6 extends vertically from a lower end of the tower 4 to the upper end 8.
  • the emergency exit lock 6 At its lower end, the emergency exit lock 6 to the pressure hull of the submarine 2 out sealed pressure-tight by a cover 10.
  • a trained at the upper end 8 of the tower 4 exit opening 12 of the emergency exit lock 6 is closed pressure-tight by a cover 14.
  • a holding device 16 is arranged in the interior of the emergency exit lock 6, which serves to keep a person located for emergency exit in the emergency exit lock 6 person 18 while flooding the emergency exit lock 6 in their standing position in the emergency exit lock 6 safely.
  • This person 18 wears a submarine rescue suit 20 as is usual in an emergency exit from a submerged boat.
  • the holding device 16 has a traction means in the form of a cable 22 which is wound on a winch 24, which, as is not apparent from the drawing, is fixedly secured in the emergency exit shaft 6.
  • a snap shackle 26 is attached as a fitting.
  • the snap shackle 26 is attached to a tab 28 which is disposed on the submarine rescue suit 20 in a region surrounding the waist of the occupant 18 therein.
  • the snap shackle 26 has a closure 30 on which two brackets 32 and 34 are arranged on two opposite sides. On the bracket 32, the rope 22 is attached.
  • the bracket 34 is used for releasably securing the SchnappJkels 26 on the tab 28 of the submarine rescue suit 20 and is designed for this purpose in two parts, wherein a bracket portion 36 is fixedly connected to the closure 30 and the bracket portion 38, which is pivotally connected via a hinge 40 with the bracket portion 36, releasably secured to the closure.
  • an operating lever 42 is provided on the shutter 30.
  • the winch 24 is to be fixed therein during the flooding of the emergency exit lock 6 and during the pressure compensation.
  • a brake 44 is used in the FIGS. 2 and 3 is symbolized by two outside of the winch 24 arranged brake pads 46, wherein the brake pads 46 shown but should give no indication of the specific design of the brake 44. Not apparent from the drawing, it is in the brake 44 is a manually operable hydraulic brake 44, the in Fig. 4 is shown in more detail.
  • a second traction means in the form of a cable 48 is attached to the bracket 32 of the snap shackle 26. This cable 48 is fixedly secured to the holding device 16 at its other end. The rope 48 is shorter than the rope 22.
  • the person 18 includes an air supply port provided on the submarine rescue suit 20 to an air supply device located in the emergency exit airlock 6, which, like the air supply port of the submarine rescue suit 20, is not shown in the drawing for the sake of clarity.
  • the submarine rescue suit 20 has due to its air filling in collar and hood the effort to swim up in the emergency exit lock 6.
  • this is advantageously prevented by attaching the cable 22 of the fixture 16 to the submarine rescue suit and holding the person 18 in the submarine rescue suit 20 in its prescribed position in the emergency exit lock 6.
  • the upper lid 14 of the emergency exit lock 6 is opened and pivoted into a position releasing the exit opening 12. Then the brake 44 is released on the winch 24.
  • the person 18 in the submarine rescue suit 20 now floats in the emergency exit lock 6, with the rope 22 unwinding from the winch 24.
  • the cable 48 which is initially limp, is thereby tensioned and exerts in this way a tensile force on the operating lever 42 of the closure 30 of the snap shackle 26, whereby the shutter 30, the bracket portion 38 of the bracket 34 of the snap shackle 26 releases. This can now swing open, causing the Snap shackle 26 on the tab 28 on the submarine rescue suit 20 triggers.
  • the person 18 is no longer connected to the holding device 16 and can float through the exit opening 12 of the emergency exit lock 6 through to the water surface.
