Description

Detonation control device, a torpedo response system including the device, and a method of installing and operating the system {APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IGNITION OF DEPTH BOMB, SYSTEM FOR REACTING TO TORPEDO INCLUDING SAYING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING AND OPERATING SAID SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a bombardment detonation control device for more effectively responding to torpedoes fired from an enemy aiming at a friendly ship, a torpedo response system including the device, and a method for installing and operating the system.

Torpedoes (torpedo) are weapons that are fired from submarines, submarines, or airplanes, and that use their self-propelled devices to hang underwater, destroying or sinking targets in the water or underwater. Such torpedoes are very dangerous for torpedo targets because of their accuracy, covertness, and high speed.

In particular, in recent years, a track torpedo has been introduced to detect a wake of a trap set as a target and track the trap. A track is a trace generated along a path taken by a vessel such as a watercraft or a submarine, and is composed of bubbles generated by driving a screw of the vessel.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual view of a torpedo torpedo. Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the wake 20 is formed along a path from which the trap passes from the rear of the trap 10. The torpedo 30 detects such a track 20 to confirm the presence and position of the target trap 10. Such a torpedo torpedo technique is a technique capable of neutralizing a conventional acoustic detection torpedo response system, and has been actively researched and introduced by military powers around the world.

As an emergency countermeasure against a torpedo that has not yet been fully prepared, a method of discharging a torpedo by dropping a torpedo, which is usually used for bombing underwater targets, has been previously discussed. However, the obstacle is that it is very difficult to control the speed of sedimentation and the timing of detonation in response to a moving torpedo. Moreover, if a torpedo intercepts a torpedo that comes close to the surface to the depth of the ship, there is also a risk that the explosion impact of the lightning can affect the ship.

Advantages and features of the present invention, and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be embodied in various different forms, and the present embodiments merely make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs It is provided to fully inform the person having the scope of the invention, and the invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.

In describing the embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, terms to be described below are terms defined in consideration of functions in the embodiments of the present invention, which may vary according to intentions or customs of users and operators. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

2 is a view for explaining the configuration of a torpedo response system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The torpedo response system 50 of FIG. 2 may basically include one or more detonation control devices 100 and cables 200, and the torpedo response system 50 may further include the torpedo response system 50. It may be provided in. However, since the torpedo response system 50 of FIG. 2 is only one embodiment of the present invention, the idea of the present invention is not limitedly interpreted by FIG. 2. Accordingly, the torpedo response system 50 of FIG. 2 may further include components not shown or described in some cases.

The lightning 300 may be a lightning strike having a hydraulic fuse, which detonates when a certain level or more of the pressure is applied. Such a lightning strike 300 may be controlled to settle down the surface by adjusting the specific gravity, and when reaching a specific depth having a specific water pressure will be exploded by being applied to the fuse at the depth. That is, the lightning storm 300 may be set to explode at a desired depth at a desired time. However, the torpedo intercept using the detonator 300 has not been described above.

According to the torpedo response system 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, such a lightning strike 300 may be coupled to the detonation control device 100. According to FIG. 2, one bombardment 300 is coupled to one detonation control device 100, but two or more detonators 300 may be coupled to one detonation control device 100.

Among the components of the detonation control device 100, the body 101 forming the appearance of the detonation control device 100 may have a pulley shape, and thus the cable 200 to be described later is wound around the detonation control device 100. You can do that. In the space inside the body 101, other components for the operation of the detonation control device 100, the sensing unit 110 and the storage unit 120, etc. may be built in, which will be described later. In addition, the detonation control device 100 may further include an assembly member 102 for fixing the body 101 to the lightning strike 300.

Each detonation control device 100 may be disposed in the cable 200 along the extension direction of the cable 200. The cable 200 may be formed of a material that can be bent to have flexibility, and may be wound around the pulley-shaped body 101 of each detonation control device 100. Accordingly, each of the detonation control device 100 can be easily adjusted the position on the cable 200, a specific position on the cable 200 by a fixing member (not shown) included in each detonation control device 100 It may be fixed to.

3 and 4 are views for explaining the utilization of the torpedo response system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the torpedo response system 50 may be installed so that one end of the cable 200 is underwater while connected to the trailing edge of the trap 10. Accordingly, each of the detonation control device 100 disposed on the cable 200, and the lightning detonation 300 coupled to each of the detonation control device 100 may also be located in the water.

When the trap 10 is advanced in the water (or underwater), the wake 20 is generated as shown in FIG. In addition, as the trap 10 moves forward, the cable 200 connected to the rear is moved along the trap 10 while being long stretched to the rear of the trap in the direction of the wake 20 when viewed from above.

Return to Figure 3 again. When the combination of each of the detonation control device 100 and the lightning rod 300 is not coupled to the cable 200 will be gradually submerged in water by specific gravity, but by the cable 200 a shallow position than a predetermined critical depth I can keep it. This is because the vertical direction component of the tension applied by the cable 200 to the detonation control device 100 prevents the settling of the detonation control device 100 and the lightning rod 300. On the other hand, the horizontal component of the tension allows the detonation control device 100 and the bombardment 300 to overcome the resistance of the water and to continue along the trap (10).

In order for the detonation control device 100 and the lightning storm 300 to be towed by the trap 10 within a predetermined depth range as described above, the tension of the cable 200 must be properly adjusted, and thus the speed of the trap 10 is reduced. Or acceleration needs to be adjusted appropriately. To this end, the operation control unit 400 of the torpedo response system 50 is a component of the detonation control device 100, the water pressure information (detonation control device 100) received through the wireless communication from the water pressure sensor 122 to be described later It is possible to know the depth of the location, considering the physical characteristics such as the weight or specific gravity of the detonation control device 100 and the bombardment 300, it is possible to appropriately adjust the speed or acceleration of the vessel 10. Operation control unit 400 Unlike other components of torpedo response system 50, can be provided in the trap 10, not underwater.

When the ship 10 sails along the traveling direction 11 on the water surface 40, the torpedo 30 that targets the ship 10 moves forward at the deep portion 41 in the water, and the ship 10 is near. It will rise to the ground floor 42 to track the trap (10). The path 31 shown in FIG. 3 represents the trajectory of this torpedo 30.

At this time, if the torpedo 30 that rises to the lower floor 42 and approaches the trap 10 is detected by the detonation control device 100, the detonation control device 100 detects the detonation bomb 300 coupled with itself. You can detonate it. More specifically, when the torpedo 30 approaches the predetermined threshold distance, the detonation control device 100 may detonate the detonation 300. The threshold distance may be set to be shorter than a predetermined radius of influence which is an influence zone of the explosion of the lightning 300. The principle of detonating the lightning rod 300 by detecting the torpedo 30 by the detonation control device 100 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

According to the torpedo response system 50 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the torpedo 30 existing within a predetermined depth range for intercepting the torpedo 30 that floats to the lower portion 42 is torpedo 30. In the approach of the detonation is detonated by the detonation control device 100, thereby torpedo 30 is attacked by the detonation 300 is disabled. That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the torpedo 30 is always located at the expected path of the torpedo 30 approaching the trailing direction of the trap 10, thereby making the torpedo 30 compared to a conventional torpedo response method. Can be effectively and effectively disabled.

In order to intercept the torpedo 30 more effectively, when a plurality of detonation control devices 100 are installed in the cable 200, the distance between the detonation control device 100 adjacent to the cable 200 is the It can be determined to be less than twice the radius of influence. In addition, the length of the portion of the cable 200 existing between each of the detonation control device 100 and the trailing end of the trap 10 may be set to be more than a predetermined threshold interval. This is to ensure a safe distance between the trap 10 and the lightning 100.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for describing a sensing unit among components of the initiator control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detector 110 may detect that the torpedo 30, which is the object of interception of the lightning storm 300, has approached the detonation control device 100 within a critical distance.

In order to find out the approach of the torpedo 30, the detector 110 may detect a magnetic field radiated from the torpedo 30. Accordingly, the sensing unit 110 may include a receiving coil 111 generating a magnetic sensing signal in response to the magnetic field emitted by the torpedo 30. In addition, the detector 110 may further include an amplifier 112 and a filter 113 such as a band pass filter.

Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that a magnetic response signal is generated as the receiving coil 111 responds to the magnetic field 32 from the torpedo 30. The magnetic response signal is due to an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, and the electromagnetic induction phenomenon is a concept well known to those skilled in the art, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The sensitivity of the receiving coil 111 with respect to the magnetic field 32 can be adjusted by adjusting the design factors of the receiving coil 111 (cross-sectional area of the receiving coil, the number of turns, etc.), and such adjustment may be performed by the trap 10 or the like. It may be performed in consideration of the influence of another magnetic field generated by the lightning storm (300).

The amplifier 112 may amplify the magnetic response signal, and the filter 113 may remove the noise component caused by the trap 10 or the lightning 300 from the amplified signal so that the magnetic sensing signal is finally output. can do. Such a magnetic sensing signal may serve to inform that the torpedo 30 has approached the controller 120 to be described later.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a control unit among components of the initiator control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the control unit 120 confirms that the torpedo 30 has approached the detonation control device 100 within a critical distance through the magnetic sensing signal, the fuse 310 of the bombardment 300 is placed at a pressure higher than the threshold water pressure for the explosion. Press the fuse 310 to explode the detonation (300). For this operation, the controller 120 may include a control circuit 121, a hydraulic pressure sensor 122, a drive motor 123, and a hydraulic actuator 124.

The water pressure sensor 122 may measure the water pressure applied to the detonation control device 100. The depth of the place where the detonation control device 100 is located can be maintained within a predetermined depth range, and if the depth is maintained in this way, the water pressure at the depth presses the fuse 310 so that the detonation 300 explodes. It is insufficient to follow. The control circuit 121 may serve as a safety device by preventing pressure (critical water pressure) necessary for the explosion of the lightning strike 300 from being applied to the fuse 310 in a situation where the torpedo 30 does not approach. have.

In addition, the control circuit 121 may know the depth of the detonation control device 100 based on the measured water pressure, and may transmit the value of the depth to the driving controller 400. To this end, the control circuit 121 may include a computing device such as a microprocessor or a hardware device such as a wireless communication module.

The control circuit 121 may know the approach of the torpedo 30 through a magnetic sensing signal, and when the torpedo 30 approaches the critical distance, the pressure to be further applied to the fuse 310 for the explosion of the torpedo 300. The value of may be transmitted to the drive motor 123. The drive motor 123 may control the pressing operation of the fuse 310 of the hydraulic actuator 124 based on the value, and the hydraulic actuator 124 applies the pressure to the fuse 310 by using hydraulic pressure to fuse the fuse 310. By letting 310 lie under pressure above the critical hydraulic pressure, it is possible to detonate the lightning strike 300.

7 is a view for explaining each step of the installation and operation method of the torpedo response system according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, since the method illustrated in FIG. 7 is only an embodiment of the present invention, the spirit of the present invention is not limitedly interpreted by FIG. 7, and each step of the method illustrated in FIG. 7 may be illustrated in some cases. Of course, it can be performed in a different order from the bar.

First, one or more detonation control device 100 may be prepared (S110). Next, one or more bombardment 300 may be coupled to each detonation control device 100 (S120). And after installing the detonation control device 100 coupled to the detonation 300 in the cable 200 to be arranged in the extension direction of the cable (200) (S130), and connects the cable 200 to the rear of the trap 10 Through the process of dropping each detonation control device 100 in the water in order in the order away from the rear of the trap 10 on the cable 200, both the cable 200 and the lightning bolt 300 can be located in the water. There is (S140). When the preparation up to now is completed, the trap 10 may be operated while adjusting the speed and acceleration of the trap 10 such that the depth of each of the detonation control devices 100 is within a critical depth (S150).

When the detonation control device 100 detects the approach of the torpedo 30 during the operation (S160), the detonation control device 100 may explode the torpedo 300 to intercept the torpedo 30 (S170). When the trap 10 enters the safe area from the threat of the torpedo 30, the cable 200 can be safely removed from the trap 10 by separating the cable 200 from the rear of the trap 10 (S180). .

According to one embodiment of the present invention described so far, a general lightning strike with a hydraulic fuse is coupled to the detonation control device, and the trap is operated with the coupling by the coupling installed in a cable connected to the rear of the trap. Effective and safe response to attacks can be achieved. In other words, it is possible to effectively use the torpedo intercepts for the purpose of bombing underwater targets, and it is possible to dramatically improve the survivability of ships that do not have a response system for new torpedoes such as wake torpedoes.
