Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for retrieving an unmanned underwater vehicle with a Tender garage for receiving the underwater vehicle according to claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a method for retrieving an unmanned underwater vehicle in a flooded tender garage according to claim 9.
- Unmanned underwater vehicles are used for a variety of underwater tasks, e.g. for the exploration and investigation of the seabed, the control of cables and pipelines on the seabed and the recovery of lost equipment. Unlike manned submersibles, unmanned systems can reach greater working depths and work in environments that are too dangerous for divers or manned systems. Furthermore, unmanned systems are used for the investigation of sea areas, for example, for mine clearance and mine destruction, but also for other missions, which represent a high risk for manned systems.
- Autonomous underwater vehicles which fulfill their respective mission without constant monitoring by human operators and rather follow a predetermined mission program, are suitable for large-scale reconnaissance under water and investigation of the underwater environment.
- Manned submersibles may conduct safe sea area reconnaissance by an unmanned underwater vehicle or other missions for which an unmanned system is useful or even necessary when carrying an unmanned subsidiary submersible on board the manned parent submersible.
- the unmanned underwater vehicle must be retrieved and stowed away.
- the recovery maneuver is often difficult due to water movement in the vicinity of the two submersibles involved and not least due to relative movement between the parent submersible and the unmanned child submersible.
- uncontrolled relative movements can damage the underwater vehicles involved.
- the present invention is based on the problem of ensuring safe recovery of an unmanned subsidiary underwater vehicle to the mother underwater vehicle.
- a device for retrieving an unmanned underwater vehicle is provided with a tender garage for receiving the underwater vehicle and with means for centering the underwater vehicle in an entrance area of the tender garage by at least one positioning flow.
- the tender garage is a space enclosed by walls for receiving the daughter underwater vehicle.
- the tender garage is preferably placed on the deck of the parent underwater vehicle to carry and protect the subsidiary vehicle.
- the underwater vehicle will be in front of a gate the tender garage are centered by means of the positioning flow (s), which are generated outside the edge region of the door and directed into the entrance area, preferably in the direction of an axis lying in the center of the entrance area.
- flow conditions are generated selectively in the entrance area of the tender garage by the introduction of positioning flows, which act on the hull of the approaching unmanned vessel centering.
- the means for obtaining the unmanned underwater vehicle comprises one or more positioning nozzles, by means of which a positioning flow generated by means of pumping devices is delivered into the entry area. After centering the underwater vehicle in the entrance area by means of the positioning flow, the unmanned underwater vehicle is safely introduced into the tender garage, thereby avoiding collisions with the walls of the tender garage.
- the unmanned underwater vehicle After centering the unmanned underwater vehicle in the entrance area in front of the gate of the tender garage, the unmanned underwater vehicle is driven with its own drive into the Tender garage or pulled by means of a arranged in the Tendergarage receiving device into the interior of the Tender garage.
- a plurality of positioning nozzles are provided for generating positioning flows.
- the means for retrieving the unmanned underwater vehicle comprises a pumping device, to which the positioning nozzles are connected and from which the positioning nozzles are fed in order to generate the positioning flows.
- the positioning nozzles are each located in the jacket area of a funnel that widens in the entrance area.
- a construction is provided, which carries the positioning nozzles such that the positioning flows are generated in the shell region of a funnel.
- the funnel-shaped arrangement of the positioning nozzles and the individual positioning flows emitted by the positioning nozzles guide the unmanned underwater vehicle, which approaches the bottom of the funnel of the positioning nozzles, to the desired center position in front of the gate of the tender garage. With increasing proximity to the tender garage, the funnel becomes narrower, so that positioning nozzles lie with increasing proximity to the hull and accordingly exert stronger dynamic dynamic forces on the hull.
- the positioning nozzles are arranged on a funnel-shaped nozzle carrier, which is attached to the tender housing.
- the positioning nozzles are always held by the attachment to the nozzle carrier in the optimum position for centering the unmanned underwater vehicle, wherein the positioning currents emanate from places that lie in the shell of a funnel.
- the nozzle carrier is in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a circumferential component, which is mounted on the gate of the Tender garage.
- the nozzle carrier comprises two or more nozzle arms which are pivotably mounted on the outside of the tender housing and which each carry a row of positioning nozzles.
- the nozzle arms are pivoted in the initiation of a catching maneuver in a maneuvering, in which the nozzle arms are in the mantle area of a funnel and thus bring the positioning in an optimal position for the desired centering of the catching underwater vehicle.
- the positioning nozzles are advantageously arranged on the nozzle arms in each case at equal intervals, so that groups of positioning nozzles lie at approximately the same height in the hopper on the nozzle arms.
- These leveling jets act with their respective positioning flows from different directions on the hull between the positioning jets, thereby centering the underwater vehicle.
- the nozzle arms are arranged at substantially equal distances from each other on the circumference of the door of the Tender garage in order to achieve the most homogeneous centering effect in the interaction of the positioning nozzles.
- the nozzle arms Upon completion of the recovery maneuver, when the unmanned underwater vehicle is received in the tender garage, the nozzle arms are pivoted from their maneuvering position to a rest position to reduce the hydrodynamic resistance of the unmanned underwater vehicle recovery facility. The nozzle arms are brought in the rest position in coincidence with the gate of the tender garage or placed on the outside of the tender garage.
- a receiving head is longitudinally movably arranged in the tender garage, to which the underwater vehicle can be coupled.
- the pickup head When picking up the underwater vehicle, the pickup head is positioned in the region of the door, wherein the positioning nozzles and the positioning flows generated by these positioning nozzles are coordinated with the position of the pickup head such that the underwater vehicle is centered by the positioning currents at the pickup head.
- the bow of the underwater vehicle After centering the underwater vehicle, the bow of the underwater vehicle is inserted through the gate and coupled to the pickup head.
- the receiving head advantageously has tools for gripping the underwater vehicle or salvage means which are fastened to the underwater vehicle for the purpose of carrying out the catching maneuver.
- the device for retrieving the unmanned underwater vehicle comprises a suction pump, which is arranged in such a way - preferably on the tender garage - that a suction flow in the intended insertion direction for the underwater vehicle is generated in the tender garage.
- the suction flow supports the collection of the underwater vehicle in the Tender garage.
- the suction connected pump on its pressure side to the positioning nozzles such that the suction flow from the interior of the Tender garage for generating the positioning flows in the entrance area of the Tender garage is traceable. In this case, advantageously only a portion of the suction flow is returned to the input region for generating the positioning flows, whereby the centering effect of the positioning flows is increased.
- the Saugströmung in the Tender garage forms for continuity reasons also in the entrance area of the Tender garage from a flow. Therefore, the suction flow acts in the center of the funnel formed by positioning flows, whereby an increased effectiveness of the centering effect is achieved by the combination of suction flow in the center and positioning flows in the jacket area of the funnel.
- the suction side of the suction pump is connected to the longitudinally movably arranged receiving head in such a way that the suction flow can be generated via the receiving head. If the suction flow generated by the recording head, the unmanned underwater vehicle is drawn during the catching maneuver of the suction flow directly to the recording head.
- the underwater vehicle is introduced into the tender garage in a second step of the catch-up maneuver.
- the receiving head is adapted to receive a salvage rope arranged at the bow of the underwater vehicle, wherein the underwater vehicle can be pulled into the interior of the vehicle via the recovery rope by retracting the receiving head.
- the recovery rope is transported directly to the receiving head by the suction flow, which is generated by the recording head. Once the pick-up head has picked up the recovery rope, the underwater vehicle can be hauled by pulling the recovery rope into the tender garage.
- a buoyancy-neutral buoyant body is arranged, which owing to its hydrodynamic resistance depends on the suction flow. nere the Tender garage is pulled while taking the salvage rope.
- the buoyancy-neutral floating body can be a ball which, when it reaches the receiving head, closes the mouth of a suction line acted upon by the suction pump, so that the suction effect wears off after the centering of the underwater vehicle.
- the subsequent introduction or retraction of the centered underwater vehicle in the Tender garage can be done independently of fluid dynamics effects.
- the arrangement of a ball-shaped float at the free end of the salvage rope has the advantage that the float can be held in a simple manner by corresponding gripping means in the device for retrieving the unmanned underwater vehicle.
- the tender garage is designed to accommodate one or more torpedoes.
- the torpedoes or possibly other underwater body to be dropped while the mother-submersible is being driven may be carried in the tender garage. This is particularly advantageous for manned underwater vehicle missions without planned AUV deployment.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of an underwater vehicle with a device for retrieving an unmanned subsidiary underwater vehicle and
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the entrance area of the means for retrieving an unmanned subsidiary underwater vehicle according to FIG. 1.

- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the stern of the manned underwater vehicle 1 with the tender garage 4 arranged on the deck 3 for the unmanned subsidiary underwater vehicle 2.
- the same reference numerals are used in the drawing figures.
- the tender garage 4 is arranged on the deck 3 in such a way that the door 5 points to the rear.
- the daughter underwater vehicle 2 thus approaches the tender garage from aft, so that retrieving or docking of the subsidiary underwater vehicle 2 is facilitated when the mother underwater vehicle 1 is driving.
- the tender garage 4 is part of a device 6 for retrieving the unmanned underwater vehicle 2, which includes means for centering the underwater vehicle 2 further explained below in an entrance area 7 in front of the door 5 of the tender garage 4.
- the underwater vehicle is centered in front of the door 5 by means of positioning flows 8 when approaching the tender garage and is positioned in the tender garage 4 for subsequent insertion.
- the positioning flows 8 are each generated by a positioning nozzle 9 outside the edge region of the door 5 and are directed radially to the center of the entrance area 7 of the tender garage 5.
- the positioning nozzles 9 are arranged such that they are each in the shell of a widening in the entrance area 7 funnel.
- the positioning nozzles 9 are arranged on a funnel-shaped nozzle carrier 10 fastened to the tender garage 4.
- the nozzle carrier 10 comprises three nozzle arms 1 1, which are mounted pivotably on the tender garage 4 and which each carry a row of positioning nozzles 9.
- the nozzle arms 1 1 are substantially star-shaped, ie with the closest possible spacing to each other, arranged on the circumference of the door 5 of the Tender garage 4.
- the nozzle arms 1 1 1 are rotatably mounted about a pivot axis 12 on the Tender garage 4 and are brought to carry out a catching maneuver in the maneuvering, in which the nozzle arms 1 1 are located in the shell region of a widening in the entrance area 7 of the Tender garage 4 funnel.
- the underwater vehicle 2 is centered because the positioning flows 8 prevent the underwater vehicle from propelling towards the hopper shell.
- the nozzle carrier 10 comprises three approximately star-shaped nozzle arms 1 1 (Fig. 2). After insertion of the unmanned underwater vehicle 2 in the Tender garage 4, the nozzle arms 1 1 are pivoted to a rest position in which the lowest possible flow resistance is given. For this purpose, the nozzle arms 1 1 are pivoted in the direction of the arrow 13 either in the overlapping with the gate 5 section of the input portion 7 or pivoted in the opposite direction and applied to the outside of the Tender garage 4.
- a suction flow is generated by means of a suction pump 14 which acts in the intended insertion direction 15 for the unmanned underwater vehicle 2 into the tender garage 4.
- the suction flow in the insertion direction 15 continues via the open gate 5 into the entrance area 7 of the tender garage 4 and contributes to the centering of the underwater vehicle 2 and to the introduction into the tender garage 4.
- a receiving head 16 in which the unmanned underwater vehicle 2 can be coupled is longitudinally movably arranged in the tender garage 4. As soon as the underwater vehicle 2 has been guided into the area of the pickup head 16, the underwater vehicle 2 is coupled to the pickup head. In this docking maneuver the coupled underwater vehicle 2 is held in contact with the recording head and then fed through the recording head 16 fed into the Tender garage 4.
- the receiving head 16 is longitudinally movably guided in the Tender garage 4 via corresponding guide means, for example rails 17.
- the recording head 16 is located near the gate 5 and is moved after coupling of the underwater vehicle 2 via the rails 17 inside the Tender garage 4, the underwater vehicle recorded with its bow on the recording head form fit, the underwater vehicle with its own drive in the Tender garage 4 moves while the recording head 16technischdrutzt.
- gripping means may be provided on the receiving head 16, which grip the underwater vehicle 2 after docking on the receiving head 16. Subsequently, the underwater vehicle 2 is pulled without internal drive by drive means which act on the recording head 16, inside the Tender garage 4.
- the suction pump 14 is connected on its pressure side 18 via a return line 19 to the positioning nozzles 9. In this way, both the suction flow in the insertion direction 15 and the positioning flows 8 can be generated with the suction pump 14 of the device 6 for collecting the unmanned underwater vehicle 2.
- the positioning nozzles 9 are connected to the suction pump 14 in such a way that the suction flow is proportionately returned to the input region 7 for generating the positioning flows 9. Due to the proportionate return of the sucked mass flow, the centering effect is enhanced in the entrance area 7 of the tender garage 4 by a strong central suction flow in the insertion direction 15 acts on the underwater vehicle 2.
- a suction side 20 of the suction pump 14 is connected to the receiving head 16 such that the suction flow is generated via the receiving head 16.
- the suction pump 14 is connected via a flexible connection, namely a suction hose 21, to the receiving head 16.
- the flexible suction hose 21 allows the guided longitudinal movement of the receiving head 16.
- the suction hose 21 is stretchable and designed to bend, for example. As a bellows.
- the pickup head 16 is designed to receive a recovery rope 23 arranged on the nose 22 of the unmanned underwater vehicle 2. While the underwater vehicle 2 is centered by the positioning flows, at the same time the recovery rope 23 is sucked into the interior of the tender garage 4 due to the suction flow in the insertion direction 15. About the salvage rope 23 is a retraction of the underwater vehicle 2 in the Tender garage 4 possible.
- a ball-shaped float 24 is arranged at the free end of the salvage rope 23. The float 24 pulled because of its flow resistance from the suction flow to the receiving head 16 and takes the salvage rope
- the float 24 is formed as buoyant as possible.
- the ball-shaped float 24 has a size which is sufficient to seal an orifice 25 of the suction hose 21 to the receiving head 16. As soon as the ball-shaped floating body 24 reaches the receiving head 16 or the mouth 25 of the suction hose 21, the mass flow conveyed by the suction pump 14 is reduced. The underwater vehicle 2 already centered at the time of closure of the mouth 25 can thereby be more easily introduced into the tender garage 4 in a subsequent step for retrieving the underwater vehicle 2.
- the opening angle of the nozzle carrier 10 is matched with the opening angle of the nozzle carrier 10 to ensure that at the time of closure of the mouth 25 of the suction hose 21, the underwater vehicle 2 already as close the tender garage 4 is introduced that it is optimally centered and positioned by the positioning flows 8 in the entrance area 7 of the Tender garage 4.
