DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the mounted boat lifting / lowering device 15 includes a crane body 20 and an engaging body installed on a deck 21 of a ship such as a patrol boat or a ship. The crane body 20 is provided with a fixed post 22 fixed on the deck 21, a swing post 23 provided on the fixed post 22 so as to be able to turn, and a tip of the turn post 23 so as to be tiltable in the vertical direction. Arm 32. The arm 32 includes an inner boom 25, an outer boom 27, and a telescopic boom 28.

  That is, the base end of the inner boom 25 is connected to the tip of the turning post 23, and the inner boom 25 is tilted with respect to the turning post 23 by the expansion and contraction of the inner cylinder 24 provided therebetween. It has become.

  The base end of the outer boom 27 is connected to the tip of the inner boom 25, and the outer boom 27 is tilted with respect to the inner boom 25 by the expansion and contraction of the outer cylinder 26 provided therebetween. Yes. A telescopic boom 28 is inserted into the outer boom 27, and the telescopic boom 28 is expanded and contracted with respect to the outer boom 27 from the distal end of the outer boom 27 by a telescopic cylinder (not shown). Usually, the inner boom 25 and the outer boom 27 are held in positions by the inner cylinder 24 and the outer cylinder 26, respectively.

  The crane body 20 is provided with a hydraulic circuit (not shown), and pressure oil is supplied from the hydraulic circuit to the inner cylinder 24, the outer cylinder 26, and the telescopic cylinder. Further, the hydraulic circuit includes a limit valve or the like as an impact reducing means (not shown). This impact mitigating means releases the position holding state of the inner boom 25 or the outer boom 27 by adjusting the hydraulic pressure in the inner cylinder 24 or the outer cylinder 26 when the mounted boat 38 contacts the arm 32. Thus, the impact on the mounted boat 38 is reduced.

  A pulley 31 is provided at the tip of the telescopic boom 28 via a holding member 33. A winch 39 including a drum 29 is attached to the base end portion of the outer boom 27. A suspension rope 30 such as a wire rope or chain unwound from the drum 29 is suspended from the pulley 31, and a hook 35 is attached to the tip of the suspension rope 30.

  The winch 39 includes tension adjusting means for adjusting the tension of the suspension rope 30 between the tip of the arm 32 and the mounted boat 38. This tension adjusting means suspends the drum 29 by temporarily stopping the drum 29 or rotating the suspension cable 30 in the direction in which the suspension cable 30 is unwound when a tension greater than a predetermined value is applied to the suspension cable 30 when the suspension cable 30 is retracted. This prevents excessive tension from being applied to the cable 30. In this case, the tension adjusting means is actuated or stopped by an operation of a lever or switch (not shown).

  An annular boat fixing frame 36 is fixed to an onboard boat 38 such as a lifeboat floating on the sea surface 37 in plan view. The engaging body includes an attachment 34 attached to the tip of the arm 32 and the boat fixing frame 36.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the attachment 34 includes a connecting member 41 at its upper end, and the connecting member 41 is rotatable with respect to the shaft 40 of the pulley 31. It is worn. That is, even if the arm 32 tilts up and down and the angle of the arm 32 changes, the attachment 34 rotates about the shaft 40 by its own weight, and its tip always points in the vertical direction. ing. At this time, a brake motor 44 serving as a rotation suppression device that suppresses the rotation speed due to the weight of the attachment 34 is provided on one side surface of the connecting member 41 so as to be connected to the shaft 40.

  A pair of support plates 45 are provided on both outer surfaces of the connecting member 41 so as to extend outward. A connecting cylinder 42 is attached to the lower end of the connecting member 41 via a shaft 51 so as to be swingable. One end of the telescopic cylinder 42 a is inserted into the connecting cylinder 42. The other end of the telescopic cylinder 42 a is attached to the upper end of the main body 46 constituting the attachment 34. The main body 46 is formed in a cylindrical shape and includes a passage 46a therein. And the guide material 53 is comprised by the connection cylinder 42 and the expansion-contraction cylinder 42a. The guide member 53 can be expanded and contracted by the expansion and contraction tube 42 a moving relative to the connecting tube 42, and the main body 46 is configured to be movable up and down as the guide material 53 expands and contracts.

Further, the suspension rope 30 suspended from the tip of the arm 32 is guided by a guide member 53 so as to keep a state of being arranged on the vertical line.
One end of a holding cylinder 43 as a pair of cushioning members is swingably attached to the distal ends of the pair of support plates 45, and the other end is attached to the upper end of the main body 46. Each of them is attached so as to be able to swing. Therefore, the main body 46 is moved up and down as the guide material 53 and the pair of holding cylinders 43 expand and contract. In this case, the guide member 53 guides the main body 46 so that the main body 46 moves up and down along the vertical line of the guide member 53. The hydraulic pressure in the holding cylinder 43 can be adjusted.

  The main body 46 includes a guide portion 47 that can be inserted into the boat fixing frame 36, and the guide portion 47 has a circular shape in plan view corresponding to the shape of the boat fixing frame 36. On the outer periphery of the guide portion 47, an engagement concave portion 47a is formed in which the boat fixing frame 36 is engaged when the guide portion 47 is inserted into the boat fixing frame 36. A rotation motor 48 as a guide rotation mechanism for rotating the guide portion 47 is provided on the upper end portion of the main body 46.

  In the passage 46a in the main body 46, a pair of upper rollers 49 and a pair of lower rollers 50 are juxtaposed in the vertical direction so as to sandwich the suspension cord 30 passing through the passage 46a. At this time, the pair of upper rollers 49 and the pair of lower rollers 50 sandwich the suspension cable 30 from directions different from each other by 90 degrees. The position of the suspension cable 30 passing through the passage 46a is held by the rollers 49 and 50 and the passage 46a.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 3, when the mounted boat 38 is lifted from the sea surface 37, first, the arm 32 of the crane body 20 is turned in a horizontal state, the telescopic boom 28 is extended, etc. The tip of the arm 32 is arranged at the lifting position. Then, the mounted boat 38 is moved to the pick-up position and waits at that position. The suspension cable 30 is unwound from the drum 29, and the suspension cable 30 is unwound from the tip of the arm 32, and the hook 35 is hooked on the boat fixing frame 36 of the mounted boat 38 in a state where the suspension cable 30 is loosened.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the slack 30 is wound around the drum 29, and the slack 30 is fed from the tip of the arm 32, thereby reducing the slack of the slack 30. Next, by operating the tension adjusting means of the winch 39, the suspension rope 30 is wound around the drum 29 with a predetermined tension, so that the mounted boat 38 moves in a direction directly below the attachment 34 while following the wave of the sea surface 37. Is done. During this time, when the mounted boat 38 is moved in the approaching direction with respect to the tip of the arm 32 due to the rising of the wave on the sea surface 37, the drum 29 is rotated in the winding direction of the suspension rope 30, and the mounted boat 38 is When moved downward in the direction away from the tip of the arm 32, the drum 29 is rotated or stopped in the unwinding direction of the suspension line 30 by the tension adjusting means. Therefore, the tension of the suspension rope 30 between the tip of the arm 32 and the mounted boat 38 is kept within a predetermined value range.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the suspension line 30 is wound around the drum 29, and the arm 32 is slowly lowered to approach the mounted boat 38 while the suspension line 30 is fed from the tip of the arm 32. Then, the lowering operation of the arm 32 is stopped at a position where the boat fixing frame 36 of the mounted boat 38 swaying up and down by the wave of the sea surface 37 and the attachment 34 are closest to each other, and the arm 32 is stopped at this position. Hold on. In this case, the distance between the boat fixing frame 36 and the attachment 34 when they are closest to each other is preferably 1 m or less, and more preferably 50 cm or less. At this time, the mounted boat 38 is repeatedly swung up and down by the waves of the sea surface 37.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the tension adjusting means is stopped when the mounted boat 38 is most lifted by the wave of the sea surface 37, that is, when the boat fixing frame 36 is closest to the attachment 34. Subsequently, when the suspension cable 30 is wound around the drum 29 and the suspension cable 30 is fed from the tip of the arm 32, the guide portion 47 of the attachment 34 is inserted into the boat fixing frame 36, and the upper end portion of the boat fixing frame 36 is inserted. And the engaging recess 47a are engaged.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the suspension cord 30 is continuously fed from the tip of the arm 32, the pair of holding cylinders 43 are contracted and the guide member 53 is contracted. At this time, since the mounted boat 38 is swung up and down in response to the wave, the arm 32 presses the mounted boat 38 against the sea surface 37, but the holding down of the holding cylinder 43 reduces the holding down. When the guide member 53 is contracted, the main body 46 of the attachment 34 comes into contact with the connecting cylinder 42 and the boat fixing frame 36 is pressed against the inner surface of the engaging recess 47a. Then, the suspension of the suspension cable 30 from the tip of the arm 32 is stopped. At this time, the mounted boat 38 is completely lifted from the sea surface 37, that is, the mounted boat 38 is completely drained.

  Further, when the mounted boat 38 is moved in the direction directly below the attachment 34, there is a possibility that a large wave suddenly occurs and the boat fixing frame 36 comes into contact with the attachment 34. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the inner cylinder 24 or the outer cylinder 26 is adjusted by the impact mitigation means, and the position holding state of the arm 32 is released, and the arm 32 is moved upward in the position direction indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The For this reason, the impact by the contact of the boat fixing frame 36 and the attachment 34 with respect to the mounted boat 38 is relieved. In this case, due to the action of the impact mitigation means, the winding rotation of the drum 29 is stopped and the arm 32 is moved upward, so that the arm 32 does not press the mounted boat 38 against the sea surface 37 via the attachment 34. Absent.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the mounted boat 38 is raised by raising the arm 32. Then, the arm boat 32 is swung and the mounted boat 38 is placed on the storage table 52 installed on the deck 21 to complete the lifting operation of the mounted boat 38. At this time, the guide motor 47 is rotated by the rotation motor 48 so that the direction of the mounted boat 38 is adjusted to the direction of the storage table 52. That is, since the direction of the mounted boat 38 can be changed here, the engagement between the attachment 34 and the boat fixing frame 36 is not limited to the direction of the mounted boat 38. In particular, the attachment 34 and the boat fixing frame 36 have a high degree of freedom with respect to the directionality when they are engaged because their shapes are in a relationship between circles.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, the mounted boat lifting / lowering device 15 is folded so that the outer boom 27 is brought closer to the inner boom 25, and the inner boom 25 is folded closer to the turning post 23. Folded. At this time, the attachment 34 is removed from the tip of the arm 32 as necessary.

  The descending operation of the mounted boat 38 to the sea surface 37 is performed by extending the suspension line 30 after the tip of the arm 32 is brought close to the sea surface 37 while the boat fixing frame 36 and the attachment 34 are engaged. At this time, since the extending amount of the suspension rope 30 is short, the mounted boat 38 can be disposed on the sea surface 37 in a state where the swing is small and stable.

The effects exhibited by the embodiment will be described below.
-By bringing the arm 32 closer to the loading boat 38, the loading boat 38 can be drained with the suspension rope 30 suspended from the arm 32 shortened, so that the loading boat 38 can be shaken during draining.
