Definitions
- the invention relates to a receiving device for receiving at least one watercraft, in particular a receiving device for a boat on board a mothership.
- a ship carries at least one boat with it while the ship is afloat. This boat is sometimes launched and later taken back from the ship.
- One way to bring the boat back on board is to have a crane on board the ship lift the boat out of the water and drop it aboard the ship.
- the ship is often provided with a ramp which is located only slightly above the water surface. The boat pulls up the ramp on its own or is pulled onto the ramp. Then the boat is moved to a desired position on the ramp and held there. Because the ramp is downhill, the boat can quickly slide over the ramp back into the water as needed.
- Such an arrangement is used, for example, aboard a lifeboat to pick up a dinghy.
- a mother ship (vessel or host ship 5) is described, which is able to selectively take a dinghy 20 or an underwater vehicle 25 out of the water and to move it on board, cf. FIG. 1.
- a delivery unit (launch / recovery device 10) on board the mothership 5 can optionally be pivoted into a position A, in which the delivery unit 10 is partially below the water surface, or into a further position B, in which the delivery unit 10 is completely is under water.
- the conveyor unit 10 In position A, the conveyor unit 10 is able to receive an inflatable boat 20.
- position B the conveyor unit 10 can
- a pickup vessel 20, 25 travels to the conveyor unit 10.
- the conveyor unit 10 pulls the vessel 20, 25 out of the water and spends it on a stationary ramp aboard the parent vessel 5.
- the conveyor unit 10 draws the vessel 20, 25 with assistance a bar chain conveyor with "traction members" 55 and end pieces 60 out of the water, cf. Figure 2A to Figure 2D.
- the vessel 20, 25 travels on a V-shaped element 55 having a surface 90. This surface 90 causes great friction between the V-shaped element 55 and the watercraft 20, 25.
- the V shaped element 55 moves with the watercraft 20, 25 and pulls the watercraft 20, 25 out of the water.
- Figure 5 and Figure 6 show a guiding and driving unit for such V-shaped elements 55.
- Figure 13 shows how two sets of inclined bars 455 form the V-shaped elements of the ramp.
- a receiving device of a ship 1 which can take successively multiple dinghies 2 and can settle back into the water, see.
- Figure 1 Each dinghy 2 has a centrally located spur or flank 10 at the keel near the bow, cf. Figure 4 and Figure 5, and moves from the side at right angles to the ship 1 to.
- the spur or flap 10 hooks into a driven chain 8, cf. FIG. 3 and FIG. 5.
- the driven chain 8 pulls the dinghy 2 out of the water (from left to right in FIG. 1) and then through a tunnel 3.
- This tunnel 3 leads across the ship 1 and has an obliquely rising inlet 4.
- a dinghy 2 is guided by a plurality of guide rollers 9 while being pulled through the tunnel 3, cf. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
- JP 2007038706 A describes a mothership 1 which can receive a boat 3 with the aid of a ramp 2a, cf. Figure 1.
- the boat 3 drives on a sloping
- the conveyor 5 pulls the boat 3 by means of a conveyor belt 5a out of the water and onto the ramp 2A.
- the conveyor belt 5a is located centrally below the boat 3.
- projections 5b of the conveyor belt each hold a flap 3a on the underside of the boat. 3
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment with a plurality of modular buoyancy bodies 2 a, which are adapted to a drive of the watercraft 10 projecting into the water.
- US 9522715 Bl shows a receiving device (deployment and recovery assembly 12) on board a ship.
- This receiving device 12 can accommodate a small vessel and comprises a - seen in the direction of travel - front ramp section (second ramp section 18) and a rear ramp section (first ramp section 16).
- a support structure (support structure 17) of the ramp section 16 carries two rows of capture and release assemblies 30, each comprising a driven wheel (rotatable support element 32).
- the axis of rotation of the wheels 32 of a row are inclined to one side at an angle to the horizontal, the axes of rotation of the wheels 32 of the other side to the other side at an angle.
- the rear section 16 can be pivoted together with support structure 22 about a horizontal axis 78, which is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the ship.
- JPH 10279034 A shows a device for transporting elongated objects, for example bottles.
- An object T to be transported is carried from below by two mutually inclined conveyor belts 4 and 5, so that a gap 3 occurs between the conveyor belts 4 and 5, cf. Fig. 1 and Fig. 3.
- the two conveyor belts 4 and 5 are supported by two frames 1 and 2, which are fixed to a respective carrier 6 and 7.
- Two shafts 8 and 9 make it possible to pivot the two supports 6 and 7 and thus the two frames 1 and 2 about an axis which is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belts 4 and 5.
- a carrier e.g. a trailer or trolley, carries the boat.
- the carrier may be configured as a trailer for a motor vehicle.
- the carrier with the boat rolls over the ramp into the water until the boat floats due to its buoyancy.
- the carrier is put into the water, the boat goes on the carrier, and the carrier with the boat is pulled up.
- the object of the invention is to provide a recording device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a method having the features of the preamble of claim 15, which during operation a greater flexibility than known
- the receiving device is capable of accommodating at least one watercraft.
- the receiving device comprises a ramp which rises obliquely in a direction of movement.
- a marine vessel can be pulled out of the water in this direction of movement and spend on the ramp.
- at least one watercraft is picked up by means of such a pickup device.
- This conveyor device comprises two inclined conveyor units and a conveyor drive. Seen in the direction of movement, the two inclined conveyor units are arranged side by side.
- the conveyor drive can drive both inclined conveyor units. If the two inclined conveyor units are driven by the conveyor drive, they are able to pull a male vessel in the direction of movement out of the water and carry and spend in a position above the ramp.
- Each inclined conveyor unit each provides a conveyor surface. This conveyor surface
- the two inclined conveyor surfaces together have a V-shaped cross-sectional area.
- the respective inclination angle of each conveyor surface against the horizontal can be changed.
- the change in the inclination angle causes the angle between the two legs of the V of the V-shaped cross-sectional area to be changed.
- the receiving device has two inclined conveyor units, which are arranged parallel to one another and whose conveying surfaces - seen in the direction of movement - form a "V". These conveyor units are powered and can pull a watercraft out of the water and carry and move against the force of gravity on the ramp. Thanks to these conveyor units, it is not necessary to use a rope of a receiving device with a To connect eyelet or a hook of the vessel and pull the vessel on the rope on the ramp or even lift the vessel with a crane out of the water. Thanks to the invention, the vessel does not need to be adapted to the solution according to the recording device.
- each inclined conveyor unit can be changed to the horizontal.
- the recording device can be adapted to different underwater profiles of different male vessels. The same solution recording device therefore can sequentially different vessels with different
- the feature that the inclination angles of the conveying surfaces can be changed increases the flexibility and interoperability of the recording device according to the invention compared with known recording devices. Often it is sufficient to adjust at least one angle of inclination to the solution according to the recording device to a male
- the receiving device additionally has a deflection unit which, viewed in the direction of movement in which a vessel is picked up and conveyed, is arranged upstream of the two inclined conveyor units.
- This deflection deflects a watercraft floating on the water, which has reached the receiving device and touches the deflection unit, obliquely upward.
- this deflection unit is permanently arranged below the water surface - more precisely: below a construction waterline of a system to which the receiving device according to the invention belongs, eg a mothership or other further watercraft. Thanks to the deflection unit below the water surface, it is not necessary to move the diverter unit or any other part of the receiving device into the water and later lift it out of the water to accommodate a watercraft. In particular, it is not required to move an inclined conveyor unit up and down relative to the ramp. This embodiment saves an actuator for the deflection and one for the conveyor unit.
- In one embodiment is a - seen in the direction of movement - the rear part of the inclined conveyor unit under water and the rest over water.
- the deflection unit is designed as a passive element, e.g. as a baffle.
- a lower conveyor unit - as seen in the direction of movement - arranged in front of the two inclined conveyor units and belongs to the deflection unit.
- a male vessel first reaches the lower conveyor unit and is pulled obliquely upwards and / or rotated by the lower conveyor unit in the direction of the two inclined conveyor units, without having to contribute its own drive of the watercraft to this movement.
- the two inclined conveyor units pull the vessel completely out of the water and onto the ramp.
- the embodiment makes it possible to attach the inclined conveyor units completely or to a greater extent above the water surface.
- the extension of an inclined conveyor unit in the direction of movement may be shorter because the inclined conveyor unit does not have to bridge the entire distance from the point of first contact of the vessel with the receiving device to a stowed position of the vessel.
- the inclined conveyor unit comprises a sequence of rollers and a sequence of driven shafts and non-driven axles for these rollers.
- the rollers can directly support a marine vessel to be photographed, i. The vessel rests on the peripheral surfaces of the rollers.
- the rollers each carry an endless conveyor belt per inclined conveyor unit. It is also possible that an inclined conveyor unit comprises a sequence of driven endless conveyor belts.
- a sequence of supports per inclined conveyor unit carries the axles and shafts.
- the axles and shafts are connected by at least one connecting element with a succession of supports.
- the distance of such a connecting element to the ramp can be changed.
- the inclination angle of the inclined conveyor unit can be adapted to a male vessel.
- the distance can be changed, for example, in that the attachment point of a support on the ramp in a Direction is moved perpendicular to the direction of movement, so that the support is rotated and the vertical dimension of the support is changed.
- the length of the support is changed in a controlled manner, for example by the support is designed as a piston-cylinder unit.
- the angles of inclination of the conveyor surfaces are adjusted before a vessel to be picked up reaches the two inclined conveyor units.
- This change in the angle of inclination is performed when necessary to accommodate the cradle to the vessel. A change is often not necessary if the same vessel or similar vessels are taken in succession several times.
- the angles of inclination are changed again after the vessel has reached the two inclined conveyor units.
- This embodiment makes it possible to adapt the receiving device to the vessel even if it turns out that at least one angle of inclination is not yet optimally adapted to the vessel, which is already at least partly located on the inclined conveyor units.
- This embodiment is particularly useful if the underwater profile of the watercraft is not exactly known before recording and it is not possible or not useful to measure the underwater profile before picking up the vessel.
- the two conveying surfaces of the inclined conveyor units form a V.
- the two conveyor surfaces enclose an acute angle at a certain point in time, in another embodiment an obtuse angle.
- the size of this angle can be prevented by preventing the angle of inclination of at least one conveyor unit.
- a distance between the two inclined conveyor units and thus a distance between the two conveyor surfaces occur.
- the two conveyor surfaces do not touch each other.
- the two conveyor surfaces define the planes that form the V when viewed in the direction of movement.
- each conveying surface of a tilted conveyor unit lies in an inclined plane.
- at least one inclined conveyor unit in bent or turned. The angle between the two conveyor surfaces and thus also the angle between the two legs of the formed V thus varies seen in the direction of movement.
- at least one inclined conveyor unit comprises a sequence of rollers. The rollers are mounted so that the inclination angle of these rollers against the horizontal - seen in the direction of movement - change. At least one endless conveyor belt can be passed around this sequence of rollers and form the conveyor surfaces. It is also possible that the rollers with the different inclination angles directly touch a male vessel and thus provide the conveyor surface.
- a person manually changes the inclination angle of the inclined conveyor units.
- a person positions several supports for the axles and / or waves appropriately on the ramp and fixes them there.
- at least one actuator e.g. a piston-cylinder unit, upon receipt of a corresponding control command automatically the inclination angle.
- the male watercraft can have its own drive or pulled or pushed towards the receiving device.
- the cradle may belong to a ship, e.g. to a warship, research ship, merchant ship, yacht, passenger ship or lifeboat, or to be part of a floating platform or a stationary and land-based cradle positioned on a bank.

- Conveyor belts 5.1, 5.r and the lower conveyor unit with the rollers 4.1, 4.m, 4.r are mounted on a stationary ramp 3, which rises obliquely in the direction of movement BR and is firmly connected to the support structure of the mothership 1.
- the invention makes it possible for a dinghy 2 to travel at a relatively high speed relative to the mothership 1 on the receiving device and therefore push against the two inclined conveyor belts 5.1, 5.r at a relatively high speed.
- Receiving device of the embodiment has a holding device which prevents the kinetic energy of the impinging inflatable boat 2 an axis 12.1.1, ..., 12.r. l, ... for a support roller 6.1.1, ..., 6.r. l, ... or shifts a shaft 8.1, 8.r for a driven roller 7.1, 7.r in the direction of movement BR. Rather, this holding device absorbs the kinetic energy of the dinghy 2 when the two inclined conveyor units decelerate the dinghy 2. In addition, the holding device makes it possible to change the inclination angle of the inclined conveyor units, which will be described below. In the first exemplary embodiment of FIGS.
- a left-hand elongated flattening axis 11.1 is mounted, on the right from the right rollers 7.r, 6.r. l, ..., right shaft 8.r and right axles 12.r. l, ... a right elongated flat axis 11. r.
- Each flattening axis 11.1, 11.r extends in the direction of movement BR and comprises a front short segment adjacent to the shaft 8.1, 8.r, a rear long segment adjacent to the axes 12.1.1, ..., 12.r. l, ... and an S-shaped connecting piece between these two segments.
- the sleeves are 13.1.1, ..., 13.r. l, ..., 36.1, 36. r non-rotatably connected to the flat axis 11.1, 11. r.
- no axis 12.1.1, ..., 12.r. l, ... and no shaft 8.1, 8.r rotate about the longitudinal axis of the flattening axis 11.1, 11. r.
- the left flattening axis 11.1 is supported by a left sequence of supports 14.1.1,.
- the carriers 14.1.1, ..., 14.r. l, ... are based on the ramp 3.
- the carriers 14.1.1, ... of the left sequence extend in parallel directions perpendicular to the plane of the ramp 3 obliquely to the top right.
- the carriers 14.r. l, ... the right sequence extend in parallel directions perpendicular to the plane of the ramp 3 obliquely to the top left.
- At the upper free end of the beam 14.1.1, ..., 14.r. l, ... is a sleeve 15.1.1, ..., 15.r. l, ...
- FIGS. 9 to 11 show a second embodiment of the sliding holding device, which absorbs the kinetic energy of the moving and conveyed rubber boat 2.
- all rollers of the conveyor are the same size, and no tension roller touches from the outside a conveyor belt 5.1, 5.r. Therefore, the foremost and rearmost rollers of the inclined conveyor units are driven. This compensates for the effect of the smaller wrap angle compared to the first embodiment.
- 12.1.1, ..., 12.r. l, ... is with the help of a joint 26.1.1, ..., 26.r. l, ... with the carrier 14.1.1, ..., 14.r. l, ... rotatably connected.
