Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an underwater vehicle.
  • the invention relates for example to a submarine proper.
  • the invention relates to so-called double-hull submarines, that is to say submarines which have a thick internal hull and a thin external hull.
  • the best known and most widespread functional module generally consists of at least one gun launcher, such as torpedoes, for example.
  • the tube is thus accessible and rechargeable from the ammunition bay of the underwater vehicle.
  • weapons or other elements such as for example missiles, drones, mines, countermeasures, etc., can be launched or fired from this type of tube.
  • This type of tube is also called a "through tube", insofar as it passes through the thick internal hull of the submarine, by a breach thereof. These thick hull crossings are therefore made at the level of breaches of this thick hull and it is understood that the fixing of the tube on the thick hull requires special attention and great care, to avoid any problem of discontinuity in mechanical strength or sealing.
  • This fixing of the tubes to the rest of the hull is carried out at the site during the construction of the machine.
  • modules are for example storage modules for a vehicle, a drone, mines or others, intended to be deployed according to the missions assigned to the submarine.
  • An example of a module is disclosed in the document DE 34 00 683 A1 .
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to resolve these problems.
  • the invention relates to an underwater vehicle of the type comprising a thick internal hull and a thin external hull and at the front of the vehicle, between these two hulls, at least one functional module, accessible from inside the thick hull and allowing access to the environment of the underwater vehicle outside the thin hull, characterized in that the functional module is in the form of at least one cassette adapted to be engaged / withdrawn from a corresponding tunnel of the underwater vehicle, extending at the front thereof, between its internal hull and its external hull and in that this cassette-shaped module comprises near its end accessible from the inside of the thick shell, at least one peripheral fixing tape adapted to be fixed on a corresponding coaming of a breach of the thick shell in order to ensure the mechanical continuity and sealing of this one, while giving access to this functional module from the inside. ieur of the thick shell.
  • an underwater vehicle such as a submarine proper, designated by the general reference 1.
  • this underwater vehicle is a submarine with two hulls, namely a thick internal hull, designated by the general reference 2 in these figures, and a thin external hull, designated by the general reference 3.
  • Frame-forming means designated by the general reference 4, ensure the structural continuity of the assembly in a conventional manner.
  • At least one functional module accessible from inside the thick hull and allowing access to the environment of the underwater vehicle outside. of the thin shell.
  • Such a well-known functional module in this type of situation is a weapon-launcher tube module such as for example a torpedo launcher, as illustrated in these figures.
  • Tube technology can be of any kind.
  • this module is accessible from inside the thick hull, and in particular for example from the ammunition bay of the submarine, designated by the general reference 6 in these figures, to allow, for example, on-board personnel, access the corresponding end of the module to load or reload these tubes.
  • this module is associated with means forming an end cap, designated by the general reference 7 in these figures.
  • an end cap comprise, for example, passage hatches, one of which is designated by the reference 8, allowing access to the outside of this thin shell.
  • this or each flap of these means forming an end cap is associated with a retractable shutter, such as for example flap 9.
  • This end of the module has a general external shape extending in continuity with the shape of the rest of the outer hull of the submarine.
  • the opening and closing of the shutter are controlled for example during a launch of a torpedo or the like.
  • the functional module 5 is in the form of at least one cassette adapted to be engaged / withdrawn from a corresponding tunnel of the underwater vehicle, such as for example the tunnel designated by the general reference 10 in these figures.
  • this tunnel can be formed in the means forming a frame of this end of the submarine.
  • This tunnel is in the example described a longitudinal tunnel, and therefore extends between the thick inner shell and the thin outer shell.
  • the functional module 5 is then in the form of a cassette comprising, near its end accessible from inside the thick shell, at least one peripheral fixing tape, designated by the general reference 11 in these figures.
  • This peripheral fixing tape 11 is adapted to be fixed on a corresponding coaming 12 of a breach 13 of the thick shell 2, in order to ensure the mechanical and sealing continuity of the latter, while giving access to this module. functional from inside the thick shell.
  • the end of the functional module closest to its outer shell also comprises a peripheral tape for fixing the latter on the structural elements of the machine.
  • This peripheral fixing tape is designated by the general reference 14 in these figures.
  • the module is fixed in position between the hulls of the submarine, in the tunnel of the frame.
  • the underwater vehicle designated by the general reference 1, the thick hull 2 thereof, the thin hull 3 thereof and the frame-forming means 4.
  • the module has not been illustrated in these figures, in order to see the ammunition compartment designated by the general reference 6, the longitudinal tunnel 10 for receiving the module, the coaming designated by the general reference, for example. general reference 12, and the breach 13 of the thick shell.
  • FIG. 4 an exemplary embodiment has been illustrated in which a single functional module is arranged centrally at the front of the underwater vehicle.
  • the functional module 5 which is in the form of a cassette, can for example be produced completely independent of the rest of the underwater vehicle and be assembled on it in the final phase of assembly of the underwater vehicle. this one.
  • the trials, tests, qualifications and other challenges of the module can thus be facilitated independently of the rest of the machine.
  • the corresponding gap can be used for easier access to the interior of the thick shell as long as the functional module is not fixed in position on the rest of the thick shell.
  • the construction or maintenance site or maintenance in operational condition can benefit from access through these breaches.
  • the functional module can be realized in the form of a one-piece cassette comprising both the functional elements of this module and the end cap of the tunnel of the machine.
  • this functional module in the form of a cassette is produced in at least two distinct and separate parts.
  • One of these parts forms the functional organ of the module itself and is associated with the thick hull and the other of these parts forms the end cap of the tunnel of the machine and is associated with the thin hull of that -this.
  • peripheral fixing tape 14 of the module also comes to bear, for example, against a corresponding abutment and fixing surface of the frame elements 4 of the underwater vehicle.
  • the cassette module and more particularly the or each peripheral fixing tape thereof, can then for example be screwed onto the corresponding element of the machine or be fixed by any other removable and / or removable means, allowing the or to each module to be placed in a removable and replaceable manner in the corresponding tunnel of the machine.
  • the or each module can also be permanently attached to the rest of the device, the or each peripheral fixing tape being for example welded to the rest of the device.
  • such a structure has a certain number of advantages, in particular as regards the production of these various elements of the submarine, their assembly, their qualification and their test.
  • a functional module different from a gun launcher is illustrated and is designated by the general reference 15 in this figure.
  • This functional module 15 is constituted, for example, by an equipment storage bay module or the like, equipped or not with a personnel launching lock.
  • This module is always accessible from inside the thick hull of the submarine and allows access to the exterior of the thin hull.
  • a module for launching personnel through an airlock a mine-setting module, a module for implementing a drone, a module for launching a vehicle underwater transport or even a module for launching countermeasure means, can be envisaged.
