Description

The invention relates to an underwater vehicle with a flap and with a locking device for locking this flap.

The object of the invention is to provide an underwater vehicle with the features of the preamble of claim 1, wherein the locking device locks the associated flap more secure and easier to operate than in known underwater vehicles.

This object is achieved by an underwater vehicle having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims, the following description and the drawings.

• eine Außenhülle,
• mindestens eine Klappe und
• jeweils eine Arretier-Vorrichtung für jede Klappe.

The underwater vehicle according to the invention comprises

• an outer shell,
• at least one flap and
• one locking device for each flap.

• zwei Arretierkörper,
• ein Betätigungselement und
• jeweils ein Übertragungsmittel pro Arretierkörper.

Each locking device comprises each

• two locking bodies,
• an actuator and
• one transmission means per locking body.

Each transmission means is mechanically connected to the actuating element and to the associated locking body.

The outer shell encloses an interior area. The outer shell separates this interior from an outside area outside the outer shell. The or each flap is mechanically connected to the outer shell and can be moved relative to the outer shell between a closed position and an open position to and fro.

When the flap is closed, each locking body and each transmission means are indoors. The actuator for this flap can be reached with the flap closed from the outside.

Each locking body can be moved back and forth between a locking position and a release position. The actuator can be moved relative to the associated flap and actuated thereby, from the outside area. Each transmission means connected to the actuating element transmits a movement of the actuating element to the associated locking body and thereby causes the locking body to be moved from one position to the other position. By this effected movement of several locking body, the flap is locked or unlocked.

The underwater vehicle according to the invention comprises an outer shell and at least one flap. The or each flap is movably embedded in the outer shell and can be opened and closed again. With the flap open, external access to the interior is possible. For example, it is possible to spend objects in a chamber in the interior with open flap or to remove items from this chamber. With the flap closed, the flap protects the interior, such as the chamber, from the environment. In particular, it is possible that the flap is designed so that the interior is protected from the ingress of water. Objects in the chamber can not be washed away. It is also possible that at least temporarily a watertight container is in the chamber, which in turn receives objects. The locked and locked flap prevents this container from floating or being damaged, or from being opened by itself or unauthorizedly removed.

The locking device is able to lock the associated closed flap and thus prevent the closed and locked flap from opening inadvertently. This could be done without locking in particular when the underwater vehicle rolls back and forth in the water or otherwise moves back and forth relative to the surrounding water or is exposed to a sudden load. The locked flap can be unlocked from the outside.

The or each locking device comprises at least two locking body. These locking bodies are spatially spaced from each other. This will shut the door at least locked two points, with a gap between these points occurs. Compared with a single locking body per flap, the use of at least two locking bodies further prevents the risk that the closed and locked flap will open unintentionally. Even if a locking body is not in a locking position due to a fault, the or at least one other locking body still locks the door. If the closed flap is bent in the opening direction, then the resulting gap between the flap and the outer shell is at least two locking bodies less than a single locking body.

According to the solution, each locking body for the or a flap is connected to the same actuating element via a transmission means. By operating this one actuator, all locking body for this flap can be quasi spend with a handle at the same time in the locked position or with a handle in the release position. It is not necessary for a user to sequentially actuate multiple actuators to lock or unlock the same door. This design saves time. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the or a flap is to be locked or unlocked when submerged submerged vehicle. This process usually requires a diver to dive down to the underwater vehicle and work underwater. Underwater visibility is often much worse than over water or on land, and a diver may only be underwater for a limited period of time. For both reasons, it is advantageous to have to operate only a single actuator. The diver only needs to locate and operate a single actuator to open the or a door.

According to the solution, the actuating element of the or each locking device can be reached from the outside. That is, the locking device can be operated from the outside. Therefore, it is not necessary for a processor, e.g. a diver goes inside the underwater vehicle to reach the interior and, for example, to dump objects into or out of the chamber. The underwater vehicle does not necessarily have to have an interior area in which a human can stay.

According to the solution, each locking body and each transmission means are arranged completely inside. As a result, protect the outer shell and the closed flap, the locking body and the transmission means from environmental influences, in particular before surrounding water. In addition, a locking body or a transmission means does not affect the hydrodynamic property of the underwater vehicle when traveling above or below water, which could be the case if a locking body or a transmission means were arranged at least partially outside the inner area. In particular, no locking body and no transmission means can cause turbulence in the water.

The actuation of an actuating element preferably causes the at least two locking bodies of this locking device to be simultaneously moved from one position to the other position.

In a preferred embodiment, the actuating element comprises an actuating rotary axis. This actuating axis of rotation is passed through the associated flap. A user can rotate from outside this actuation axis of rotation and thereby actuate the transmission means and move the at least two locking bodies which are connected to this actuating element. The actuating axis of rotation of the actuating element is mechanically connected in the inner region with the two transmission means. Each transmission means connected to this actuating element can be guided completely inside and along the flap. It is not necessary to guide the transfer means along one edge of the flap.

Preferably, at least one recess is embedded in the or each flap. Or at least one handle is attached to the flap. With the help of this recess or handle, a user, for example a diver, can move the unlocked flap relative to the outer shell and thereby open it. It is not necessary for the user to carry a tool to move the unlocked door.

Preferably, the or each flap then closes flush with the outer shell when in the closed state. As a result, the flap does not affect the hydrodynamic properties of the underwater vehicle and also not a signature of the underwater vehicle, that is the recognizability in a radar image or a sonar image. Preferably, the still outwardly facing tail of the actuator is flush with the outer shell, so it is not over. This embodiment further improves the hydrodynamic property of the underwater vehicle in the water. Is preferred in the Actuating rotary axis recessed a recess for an internal hexagon key, this recess is accessible from the outside. A user can use a commercially available hexagon socket wrench to turn the actuator pivot and thereby actuate the actuator and lock or unlock the door. No special tools are required to operate.

In one embodiment, the or at least one locking body comprises a locking element and a locking body rotation axis. The locking element is fixedly mounted on the locking body rotation axis. The locking body rotation axis is rotatable and mounted from the inside to the associated flap. In the locking position, the locking element engages at least partially under the outer shell, so that the outer shell is located between the locking element and the outer area. In the release position, the locking element does not overlap with the outer shell. The transmission means is able to move the locking body rotation axis and thus the locking element. It is not necessary that the transmission means is connected directly to the locking element.

In one embodiment, the or at least one transmission means comprises two lever arms and a connecting means between these two lever arms. The first lever arm is connected to the actuating element, in the case of a rotatable actuating element rotationally fixed to the actuating axis of rotation, the other lever arm with the locking body rotation axis. Actuation of the actuator causes the actuation rotation axis to be rotated, the first lever arm on the rotated actuation rotation axis to move the connection means, and the moved connection means to rotate the detent body rotation axis. Or the first lever arm connected to the actuating element is moved in another way, moves the connecting means. In both embodiments, a movement of the connecting means causes the second lever arm is moved and the locking member is rotated from one position to the other position.

In one embodiment, the connecting means extends along a longitudinal axis and has, for example, the shape of a rod. Preferably, the length of this connecting means can be changed, for example, so that each locking body can be moved easily enough and on the other hand securely locks the flap and safely releases. The ability to change the length makes it easier for the locking device to different environmental conditions adapt, for example, to different water temperatures or desired depths.

In one embodiment, an opening is made in the or a flap. Through this opening, a user can reach the actuator with a suitable tool. In a preferred embodiment, this opening is automatically closed as long as the user does not actuate the actuating element. A spring element tends to move a punch to a closed position. In this closure position, the punch closes the opening. The plunger thus prevents water from penetrating through the opening into the inner area enclosed by the outer shell. Preferably, the spring force exerted by the spring element is large enough for the plunger to maintain its closure position to a certain depth of submersion of the underwater vehicle. Thanks to the spring element, the plunger automatically closes the opening without the need for user intervention to lock it. Preferably, the spring is supported on the actuating element.

The plunger can be moved against the spring force of this spring element to release the opening and to allow the actuator to move through the opening. Preferably, the punch can be moved from the outside against the spring force, in that a suitable tool is inserted through the opening and pressed against the punch. This configuration allows a user, such as a diver, to insert a tool into the opening and first move the punch out of the closed position against the spring force and then actuate the actuator without first having to pull the tool out of the opening.

In one embodiment, this stamp additionally provides a valve. At least when the plunger is moved away from the opening against the spring force, this valve compensates for a pressure differential between the inside and outside areas. This embodiment avoids in particular that at a significantly higher pressure in the interior, the pressure difference opens the unlocked flap jerky.

In one embodiment, the or at least one actuating element is rotatably mounted. A rotation of the actuating element causes each locking body of the associated locking device is moved from one position to the other position. It is also possible that the or at least one actuating element is slidably mounted and causes a displacement of the actuating element that the associated locking body is moved from one position to the other position. In one embodiment, each transmission means each have a lever arm. The at least two lever arms are non-rotatably connected to the rotatable actuating element.

The embodiment with the punch can be combined with the embodiment with the rotatably mounted actuating element. Preferably, a user thereby moves the punch away from the opening by inserting a tool into the opening, and then actuates the actuator by rotating the inserted tool.

In one embodiment, the rotatably mounted actuating element is non-rotatably connected to the stamp. The punch is mechanically connected to each transfer means of this locking device. A rotation of the actuating element therefore causes the stamp is rotated with. Each transmission means transmits the rotation of the punch to the associated locking body. This embodiment allows a particularly compact design, in particular because the axis of rotation of the actuating element with the axis of rotation of the stamp can match and because the punch has two functions, namely the one to seal the opening, and the other, the rotation of the actuating element on the transmission means transferred to. Two different components are therefore not required. In another embodiment, the actuator is rotatable relative to the punch.

In one embodiment, the or at least one locking device additionally has a locking unit which is movable between a locking position and a release position. This locking prevents in the locked position that the actuator of this locking device moves unintentionally and thus the associated flap is no longer locked. In particular, in the locked position, this locking unit prevents the actuating element from moving without user intervention in such a way that the locking bodies of this locking device are moved into the release position or the movement of a locking body or a transmission means a movement of the actuating element and thus a movement of each locking body in the release position causes.

The embodiment with the locking unit can be combined with the embodiment which provides a punch and a spring element. In one embodiment of this combination has the same spring element simultaneously two functions: First, the spring element holds the punch in the closed position. On the other hand, the spring element holds the locking unit for the actuator in the locked position. This embodiment allows a particularly compact design and saves compared to an embodiment in which two different elements hold the stamp in the closed position and the locking in the locked position. When the punch is moved against the spring force, so at the same time the locking unit is moved to the release position.

In a further embodiment of the invention, at least two flaps are rotatably inserted into the outer shell. Preferably, each flap can be opened and closed independently of the or each other flap. Lock and unlock in the closed position. This makes it easier to get access from different directions to the interior. Optionally, only one door can be opened, and the or each other door remains closed and locked, or both or at least two doors are opened and unlocked. This makes it possible to optionally produce a smaller opening or a larger opening to the interior. Each flap is a locking device associated with at least two locking bodies, two transmission means and an actuating element. As a result, the underwater vehicle comprises a total of at least two actuating elements, at least four locking body and at least four transmission means.

The watercraft with the flap and the locking device may be a surface vehicle or an underwater vehicle and have its own drive or be towed by another vehicle through the water. The vessel may be a manned or unmanned vessel. The outer shell can also form a pressure body of the underwater vehicle or enclose the pressure body, wherein the pressure body is located in the interior. The outer shell can also enclose only a part of the pressure hull. It is also possible that the underwater vehicle is unmanned and has no pressure hull that encloses an interior for crew members. If the underwater vehicle is in a floating position above water, so the flap can be located below or above the waterline.

In the exemplary embodiment, the invention is used to lock two flaps, wherein these two flaps are rotatably inserted into the outer shell of a submersible with a pressure body. When the two flaps are open, they provide access to a chamber inside the outer shell. Preferably, the pressure hull of the underwater vehicle is arranged in the inner region of the outer shell, and this chamber is located between the outer shell and the inner region. It is also possible that the outer shell surrounds only an upper part of the pressure hull, for example, is placed on top of the pressure hull. When the two flaps are closed, they flush with the rest of the underwater vehicle's outer shell.

In the embodiment, each flap can be opened and closed independently of the other flap. In addition, each closed flap, regardless of the other flap, can be selectively transferred to a locked (locked) or unlocked (unlocked) state. Only in the unlocked state, the flap can be opened. By the closed flap is transferred to the locked state, it is prevented that it opens unintentionally by itself. In the embodiment, the two flaps are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, so that their weight is low and they can rotate relatively easily.

A user may transfer each door from the locked to the unlocked state and then open the unlocked door to transfer or remove at least one article from the chamber. It is desired that the flap can be unlocked and opened even when the underwater vehicle is completely submerged, for example by a diver.

Fig. 1 shows the two flaps in the closed state, in a viewing direction from the outside. The direction of travel FR of the underwater vehicle is in Fig. 1 from the bottom up. In the outer shell 2, a left flap 1.1 and a right flap 1.2 are used.

Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the outer shell with the left flap 1.1 in the open and the right flap in the closed state. The planes of the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2 are perpendicular to the plane of Fig. 2 , The direction of travel FR is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and points away from the viewer. In Fig. 2 are a chamber K and several objects G.1, G.2, ... to see in this chamber K, wherein the flaps 1.1 and 1.2 can close this chamber K. Fig. 3 to Fig. 7 show from inside the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2 in the closed state. The plane of the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2 lie in the drawing planes of Fig. 3 to Fig. 7 , The viewer looks from the interior of the outer shell 2 on the two closed flaps 1.1 and 1.2.

Inside the left flap 1.1, a reinforcing element 5.1 is mounted inside the right flap 1.2 a reinforcing element 5.2. The left flap 1.1 is rotatable about an axis of rotation 15.1 relative to the outer shell 2, the right flap 1.2 about an axis of rotation 15.2. The left pivot axis 15.1 is mounted on a left cross member 7.1, which is fastened to the inside of the outer shell 2 and extends approximately parallel to the direction FR, the right axis of rotation 15.2 on a right cross member 7.2. If both flaps 1.1 and 1.2 are closed, so are the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2 between the two axes of rotation 15.1 and 15.2. Between the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2 three oval gripping openings 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are formed, which are formed by corresponding recesses in the free (inner) edges of the two flaps 1.1 and 1.2. A user can engage from the outside in such a gripping opening to open a closed and unlocked flap 1.1 or 1.2.

Inside the outer shell 2, a receiving element 8 is mounted, which receives the reinforcing element 5.1 with the left flap 1.1 closed and the reinforcing element 5.2 when the right flap 1.2 is closed. At the left flap 1.1 near the axis of rotation 15.1 are - seen in the direction of travel FR - a front left shutter claw 16.1 and a rear left shutter claw 6.1 mounted. The front left locking claw 16.1 is held with a holder 26.1 on the flap 1.1, the rear left locking claw 6.1 with a holder 36.1, see. Fig. 3 , The heads of three screws of this bracket 26.1, 36.1 are in Fig. 1 to see the lower ends of these screws in Fig. 3 , When the left flap 1.1 is closed, these two closure claws 16.1 and 6.1 surround the receiving element 8. Correspondingly, a front right closure claw 16.2 and a rear right closure claw 6.2 are mounted on the right flap 1.2 near the rotation axis 15.2 a holder 26.2, 36.2.

A left central axis of rotation 4.1 is guided through the left flap 1.1. This left central axis of rotation 4.1 is approximately centrally disposed between the - seen in the direction of travel FR - front end and the rear end of the left flap 1.1, close to the free edge of the left flap 1.1 and near the gripping opening 3.2. Accordingly, a right central axis of rotation 4.2 is guided through the right flap 1.1. A user can put a tool on the left central axis of rotation 4.1 from the outside and use this tool, the left central axis of rotation 4.1 rotate either in one or the other direction. A rotation of the left central pivot axis 4.1 causes the left flap 1.1 is transferred from the locked to the unlocked state or vice versa from the unlocked state to the locked state. How this is done will be described below.

In Fig. 1 is a hexagonal opening Ö.1 outside in the left axis of rotation to see 4.1. A user can put on the outside an Allen key on this opening Ö.1 and press the key down to then turn the left pivot axis 4.1 relative to the left flap 1.1. This will be described in detail below. Accordingly, a user can rotate the right-hand rotation axis 4.2 relative to the right-hand flap 1.2 by placing it in the inner-hexagon key on the opening Ö.2 at the top in the right-hand rotation axis 4.2. The circular surface at the end of the central axes of rotation 4.1, 4.2 is flush with the flap 1.1, 1.2 from. Also, the heads of the screws which attach the bracket 13.1, 13.2 to the flap 1.1, 1.2, flush with the flap 1.1, 1.2 from.

Fig. 3 shows both flaps 1.1 and 1.2 in the closed state. The viewing direction is that of a viewer who is located in the interior of the interior of the outer shell 2 and vertically upwards on the closed flaps 1.1, 1.2 looks. The left flap 1.1 (in Fig. 3 above) is locked, the right flap 1.2 (in Fig. 3 below) is not locked. The left flap 1.1 can be locked by means of a front left locking claw 19.1 and a rear left locking claw 9.1. Accordingly, the right-hand flap 1.2 can be locked by means of a front-right locking claw 19.2 and a rear-right locking claw 9.2. When the left flap 1.1 is closed, so is a front segment of the rear left locking claw 9.1 below a counter element 30.1, see. Fig. 4 , and a front segment of the front left locking claw 19.1 below an in Fig. 4 not shown counter element 40.1. Similarly, a forward segment of the rear right locking claw 9.2 is below a mating member 30.2 and a forward segment of the front right locking jaw 19.2 is below a mating member 40.2. The two counter-elements 30.1 and 30.2 are fixedly mounted on a reinforcement 29. This reinforcement 29 is mounted inside the outer shell 2, extends perpendicular to the direction of travel FR and is located between the closed flaps 1.1, 1.2 and the counter-elements 30.1 and 30.2. The other two counter-elements are firmly mounted on a reinforcement 39.

In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 For example, the left lock claws 19.1 and 9.1 will be in a locked position and the right lock claws 19.2 and 9.2 will be in a release position. When the two locking claws 19.1 and 9.1 on the left flap 1.1 are in the locking position, the left flap 1.1 is locked. Three edges of the left flap 1.1 are connected to the surrounding outer shell 2, namely an edge through the axis of rotation 15.1 and two edges by a respective locking claw 19.1 and 9.1. If these two locking claws 19.1 and 9.1 in the release position, so can the left flap 1.1 open. The corresponding applies to the right flap 1.2. The rear left locking claw 9.1 is fixedly mounted on a rotation axis 11.1. With the help of a holder 14.1, this axis of rotation 11.1 is rotatably mounted on the left flap 1.1. The axis of rotation 11.1 and an approximately triangular plate 17.1 of the holder 14.1 are mounted on the inside of the left flap 1.1. Three screws are passed through the left flap 1.1 and hold the plate 17.1 of the holder 14.1 inside of the left flap 1.1. In Fig. 1 You can see the three heads of these three screws, which are also flush with the outer shell 2.

When the rotation axis 11.1 is rotated in one direction (in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 in the clockwise direction), the rear left locking claw 9.1 is transferred from the locking position to the release position. If the axis of rotation 11.1 is rotated in the opposite direction, then the left-hand left-hand locking claw 9.1 is transferred from the release position into the locking position when the left-hand flap 1.1 is closed. The corresponding applies to the other three locking claws 19.1, 9.2 and 19.2.

By turning the left central pivot axis 4.1 with the aid of a tool, a user transfers the left flap 1.1 from the locked state to the unlocked state or vice versa. This rotation of the central axis of rotation 4.1 causes both locking claws 19.1 and 9.1 are transferred simultaneously from the locked position to the release position or simultaneously from the release position to the locked position. In each case a transmission means per locking claw 19.1 and 9.1 transmits the rotation of the left central axis of rotation 4.1 synchronously on both left locking claws 19.1 and 9.1. Correspondingly, one transmission means per locking claw 19.2 and 9.2 transmits the rotation of the right central rotation axis 4.2 synchronously to both right locking claws 19.2 and 9.2.

The transmission means for the rear right locking claw 9.2 will be described below with reference to Fig. 3 . Fig. 4 . Fig. 6 . Fig. 7 . Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 described. Fig. 7 shows in a detailed view from the inside the right central axis of rotation 4.2 for the right flap 1.2, namely the area A2 of Fig. 6 , Fig. 8 shows in a detailed view from inside and parallel to the plane of the right flap 1.2, the right rear locking claw 9.2. Fig. 9 shows in a detailed view from the outside and parallel to the plane of the right flap 1.2, the right central axis of rotation 4.2 for the right flap 1.2.

A right central holder 13.2 holds the right central pivot axis 4.2 rotatably on the right flap 1.2. Several screws 53.1, 53.2, ... are guided through the right-hand flap, cf. Fig. 9 , A cross member 18.2 of the central right bracket 13.2 is by means of screws 53.1, 53.2, ... rotatably mounted on the right flap 1.2. In Fig. 1 and in Fig. 9 are the heads of these screws 53.1, 53.2, ... to see.

The axis of rotation 4.2 is guided through a sleeve 58.2 of the holder 13.2 and can be rotated relative to the sleeve 58.2 about its own central axis. This sleeve 58.2 is in the embedded right flap 1.2 and inside firmly connected to the cross member 18.2. On the axis of rotation 4.2 a disc 60.2 is firmly mounted. This disk 60.2 is received in a corresponding recess of the cross member 18.2 and allows rotation of the rotation axis 4.2, but prevents the rotation axis 4.2 can be moved relative to the cross member 18.2 parallel to the central axis of the axis of rotation 4.2.

The following are with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 9 described two different embodiments, as the axis of rotation 4.2 is mechanically connected to the rod 10.2. In the first embodiment, two lever arms 32.2 and 42.2 are pivotally connected to two retaining elements 62.a and 62.b. These two holding elements 62.a and 62.b are fixedly connected to a punch 55.2, and offset by 180 ° to each other, see. Fig. 7 and Fig. 9 , The stamp 55.2 is rotatably connected to the right central axis of rotation 4.2. In the second embodiment, the two lever arms 32.2 and 42.2 rotatably connected to the axis of rotation 4.2. The two holding elements 62.a and 62.b are firmly connected to the axis of rotation 4.2. The punch 55.2 can not only move linearly relative to the axis of rotation 4.2, but also rotate about the common center axis. In addition, the punch 55.2 can move relative to the two holding elements 62.a and 62.b along its own central axis. In Fig. 9 are the stamp 55.2, the holding elements 62.a and 62.b and the lever arm 32.2 to see in detail.

In both embodiments, this lever arm 32.2 is articulated via a joint 28.2 to a connecting element 31.2, cf. Fig. 7 and Fig. 9 , A screw 61.2 connects the lever arm 32.2 with the joint 28.2 and with the connecting element 32. The connecting element 31.2 is connected to a rod 10.2. In one embodiment, the distance between the connecting element 31.2 and the rod 10.2 can be changed by means of two screws. In one embodiment, the length of the rod 10.2 can be changed.

It is also in Fig. 7 and Fig. 9 to see a stop element 23.2 with a circular plate. This stop element 23.2 is connected by means of two screw 59.a, 59.b fixed to the cross member 18.2 and prevents the possible rotation of the rotation axis 4.2 and thus the lever arm 32.2 relative to the flap 1.2. In one embodiment, this stop element prevents 23.2 and a possible rotation of the punch 55.2. As in Fig. 9 can be seen, two locking pins 57.a and 57.b are mounted on a lock washer 56.2. This lock washer 56.2 is rotatably connected to the rotation axis 4.2 and in one embodiment also rotatably connected to the stamp 55.2. These two locking pins 57.a and 57.b engage in the in Fig. 9 shown situations in two corresponding recesses in the circular plate of the stop element 23.2 a. As long as the two pins 59.a and 59.b engage in the two recesses, neither the rotation axis 4.2 nor the lever arm 32.2 can be rotated relative to the cross member 18.2 and thus relative to the flap 1.2, because the stop element 23.2 prevents this rotation. In one embodiment, the punch 55.2 can then not be rotated. The locking washer 56.2, the two locking pins 57.a and 57.b and the stop element 23.2 with the two recesses thus belong to a locking device for the rotation axis 4.2.

The punch 55.2 engages from the inside into the hollow interior of the rotation axis 4.2 and can be moved relative to the axis of rotation 4.2 along the common center axis. In the first embodiment, the two holding elements 62.a and 62.b can be displaced together with the punch 55.2 relative to the axis of rotation 4.2. In the second embodiment, the punch 55.2 can be linearly displaced relative to the two holding elements 62.a and 62.b. The stop element 23.2 limited in both embodiments, the movement of the punch 55.2 away from the opening Ö.2. A compression spring 54.2 is supported on the rotation axis 4.2 (first embodiment) or on the two holding elements 62.a and 62.b (second embodiment) and endeavors to move the plunger 55.2 away from the stop element 23.2 into the in Fig. 9 to the closed position shown. The upper end of the punch 55.2 thus closes the hexagonal opening Ö.2 in the axis of rotation 4.2 and thus prevents water from entering from the outside.

When the punch 55.2 is displaced linearly away from the opening Ö.2 relative to the axis of rotation 4.2, the opening Ö.2 is opened. In one embodiment, the punch 55.2 is configured as a valve. When the plunger 55.2 is pushed away, the valve provided by the plunger 55.2 compensates for a pressure difference between the interior, for example from the chamber closed by the flap 1.2, and the exterior outside the flap 1.2. Such a pressure difference can occur, for example, when the underwater vehicle emerges for a dive trip and an overpressure has occurred in the chamber.

If the punch 55.2 is moved away from the opening Ö.2, this movement also causes the punch 55.2 moves the lock washer 56.2 away from the opening Ö.2. This in turn causes the two locking pins 57.a and 57.b no longer in the engage two recesses of the stop element 23.2, so the locking unit for the rotation axis 4.2 is in a release position.

The rod 10.2 is connected to a further connecting element 25.2, cf. Fig. 8 , About a joint 27.2 of this connecting element 25.2 is pivotally connected to a lever arm 12.2. The lever arm 12.2 is firmly connected to the locking claw 9.2. The lever arm 12.2 and the locking claw 9.2 are rotatably mounted on a rotation axis 11.2. An approximately triangular plate 17.2 of a holder 14.2 is rotatably mounted by means of three screws on the right flap 1.2, said three screws is passed through the right flap 1.2, see. Fig. 8 , The holder 14.2 holds the axis of rotation 11.2. The axis of rotation 11.2 is guided through a sleeve, which is firmly connected to the plate 17.2.

The transmission means for the rear right locking claw 9.2 include the lever arms 32.2 and 12.2, the connecting elements 31.2 and 25.2 and the rigid rod 10.2. The three other locking jaws 19.2, 9.1 and 19.1 have corresponding transmission means.

The following is an example and with reference to Fig. 9 described how the right door 1.2 is opened. A user sets an internal hexagon key from the outside on the hexagonal opening Ö.2 in the axis of rotation 4.2. First, the locking of the rotation axis 4.2 is released. For this purpose, the user presses on the inner hex key and thereby displaces the punch 55.2 against the force of the spring 54.2 on the stop element 23.2. The stamp 55.2 is thereby displaced relative to the axis of rotation 4.2 along the longitudinal axis of the axis of rotation 4.2. Now the inner hex key and not the punch 55.2 closes the hexagonal opening Ö.2. The movement of the punch 55.2 causes the lock washer 56.2 with the two pins 57.a and 57.b also moved away from the opening Ö.2 (in Fig. 9 down) and thus the two pins 57.a and 57.b no longer engage in the two recesses in the stop element 23.2. As a result, the locking of the rotation axis 4.2 is canceled. The disc 60.2 further prevents the axis of rotation 4.2 is displaced relative to the cross member 18.2.

Now the user turns the inserted inner hex key. As a result, the axis of rotation 4.2 is rotated relative to the sleeve 58.2 and thus also relative to the cross member 18.2 about its own central axis. In the first embodiment, the stamp 55.2 is rotatably with the Rotary axis 4.2 connected, and the holding elements 62.a, 62.b are firmly connected to the punch 55.2. The rotatably connected stamp 55.2 is rotated with the axis of rotation 4.2 with. As a result, the holding elements 62.a and 62.b and thus the lever arms 32.2 and 42.2 (in Fig. 9 not shown) with rotated. In the second embodiment, the axis of rotation 4.2 is firmly connected to the two lever arms 32.2 and 42.2. A rotation of the axis of rotation 42.2 is transmitted directly to the two lever arms 32.2 and 42.2.

In both embodiments, this rotation of the lever arms 32.2 and 42.2 on the connecting elements 31.2 and 41.2 (in Fig. 9 not shown) and then on the rods 10.2 and 20.2 (in Fig. 9 not shown) and thus transferred to the associated locking claws 9.2 and 19.2. By the rotation of the flap 1.2 is unlocked. Now the user removes the inner hex key again. The compression spring 54.2 moves the punch 55.2 back into the closing position, the in Fig. 9 will be shown. The user can turn the unlocked flap 1.2 using the recesses 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and thereby open. Later, the user can close the flap 1.2 again and lock in an appropriate way.
