Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting device for a submarine.
  • U-boats are known to be built as compactly and compactly as possible.
  • the loads carried are limited in size, for example, by the size of the access to the interior of the submarine or by the size of hatches in the interior of the submarine.
  • UUV unmanned underwater vehicles
  • the lifting device according to the invention has the advantage of being designed to be comparatively space-saving while at the same time being able to lift very large loads.
  • the payload in a stowed position of the lifting device the payload is arranged inside the submarine, preferably within an upper deck of the submarine, while the payload in a useful position of the lifting device outside the submarine, in particular in an open water area, is arranged.
  • the payload is directly or indirectly connected to the first lifting element and the lifting device is transferred between the useful position and the stowed position by means of the displacement of the first lifting element relative to the first guide element caused by the power means.
  • the force means changes its shape or shape, in particular its extension extending in the stroke direction, during the transfer between the use position and the stowed position.
  • the cylinder piston of which is extended in the use position and retracted in the stowed position.
  • the power means comprises a spindle, a joint system and / or an electric motor.
  • the stroke direction is preferably substantially perpendicular to an extension of an outer skin of the submarine or the outer lining.
  • the force means and the further force means are synchronized in their movement when the payload is transferred between the stowed position and the useful position. This leaves ensure that a dead weight of the payload can be distributed evenly over at least a first and at least a second lifting element during transport.
  • the power means and / or the further power means is a lifting cylinder, in particular a hydraulic lifting cylinder.
  • the lifting device for the synchronization comprises a control device and / or a position measuring system.
  • a control loop can be formed by means of the control device and / or the displacement measuring system, which advantageously ensures controlled lifting of the load.
  • the lifting device comprises a magnetostrictive measuring system as a displacement measuring system, which is particularly preferably embedded in the lifting cylinder and / or the further lifting cylinder.
  • the lifting device preferably comprises a control device for evaluating the data recorded by the position measuring system and for individually controlling the hydraulic cylinder and / or the further hydraulic cylinder.
  • the measurement data recorded by the respective position measuring system are forwarded to the control device, which in turn controls the individual hydraulic lifting cylinders individually on the basis of the recorded measurement data.
  • the control device which in turn controls the individual hydraulic lifting cylinders individually on the basis of the recorded measurement data.
  • the first guide element comprises two opposite guide rails, a first lifting element in the form of a lifting frame being arranged between the two opposite guide rails.
  • a sliding element is arranged between the first lifting element and the first guide element in order to advantageously reduce a possible frictional resistance between the first lifting element and the first guide element.
  • the sliding element is attached to and / or in a slide body, which in turn is around a bolt is pivotally articulated on the first lifting element.
  • the carriage body is designed such that it rests on the running surfaces of the first guide element, in particular on a running surface of one of the guide rails, and thereby transmits the resulting managers.
  • the slide body With a load that acts on the boom rigidly connected to the slide body, the slide body can rotate within the scope of its guiding play about an axis of rotation predetermined by the bolt. Due to the resulting contact of the sliding elements on the guide rail, the first lifting element is guided in an advantageous manner. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the first guide element clasps the first lifting element on both sides. In this way, the first guide element can advantageously ensure that the first lifting element can be displaced along the lifting direction and counteract a tilting of the first lifting element.
  • the first lifting element has a bracket-like arm for receiving a support element, in particular a support element made of steel.
  • the payload is arranged on the support element.
  • the payload is reversibly attached to the support element via fixing aids.
  • the support element forms a limitation for a storage volume that is provided by the lifting device.
  • the console-like arm is preferably arranged at a lower end of the first holding element. As a result, the largest possible storage volume in the lifting device can be realized.
  • the support element in the position of use is flush with an outer skin of the submarine.
  • the support element is detachably connected to the boom.
  • the boom and the support element are preferably releasably connected to one another via a bolt connection.
  • a payload is mounted on the support element.
  • the entire support element can be quickly replaced with another support element with a different payload, preferably pre-assembled by the manufacturer and / or at the port or depot, if the mission-specific requirements make this necessary.
  • the entire support element with the payload attached to it is detached from the rest of the lifting device, then pulled out of the submarine by a crane and finally replaced by another support element with a different payload ,
  • the first guide element is rigidly connected to a support frame and / or the support frame is connected to a structural part of the submarine via at least one shock absorber.
  • the shock absorber advantageously allows the lifting device to be decoupled from a pressure body of the submarine.
  • the shock absorber is an elastomer damper and / or a wire rope spring damper.
  • the shock absorber can advantageously ensure that the lifting device and in particular the payload carried are not damaged in the event of an impact on the submarine.
  • the structural part is preferably the pressure body of the submarine. To compensate for a curvature of the pressure body, foundations are provided which are welded to the pressure body and are connected to the shock absorber.
  • the power means is articulated on the support frame, for example via a cardan joint or a ball socket joint.
  • the force means is arranged on the end face of the first lifting element facing away from the supporting frame. It is conceivable that the power means is articulated to the first lifting element, for example via a universal joint or a ball socket joint. This results in a particularly advantageous force profile when moving the first lifting element with the force means.
  • the first guide element has stiffeners.
  • the first guide element is advantageously stabilized or strengthened with respect to the forces occurring when the lifting device is actuated.
  • the support element is fixed to the support frame in the stowed position by means of a locking device, in particular by means of a passive locking device.

  • the lifting device comprises an outer covering which is moved along with the lifting elements, the outer covering preferably being connected to the first lifting element via an elastic connecting element.
  • the elastic connecting element advantageously ensures that impacts on the outer cladding are damped. It is also provided that the outer cladding is flush with an outer skin of the submarine, in particular the upper deck. As a result, the flow properties of the submarine remain essentially unaffected by the lifting device.
  • FIG. 1 the transfer of a payload 2 by means of a lifting device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown in an image sequence.
  • the upper left picture shows the lifting device 1 in a stowed position
