Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for defending against pirates, which comprises a sensing unit which senses the invasion of an unjustified invader such as pirates; a pirate defending wall which is to confine the unjustified invader by being installed in a corridor or the stairs of a ship; a control unit which is to identify the movement state of the unjustified invader in order to operate the pirate defending wall when pirates enter the pirate defending wall area; an operating unit which lifts up or down the pirate defending wall. The system for defending against pirates can ask for help from outside supporting power such as the maritime police by confining an unjustified invader such as pirates in a predetermined area in a ship in order to prevent the invader from coming outside. In addition, the system for defending against pirates can allow the ship to escape from the control of pirates and make the security of any additional space such as a safety room unnecessary by preventing a bridge or an engine room from being invaded by the pirates.

Description

Pirate Defense System {System for Preventing Pirate}

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pirate defense system, in particular a passage way in a closed area that directs a controllable wall with anti-piracy function to a bridge or an engine control room. Installed in a stairway, a stairway, etc., and normally functions as a firewall, and if an intruder such as a pirate enters the ship, identify and monitor the pirate's copper line from the bridge by CCTV and evacuate the crew to the bridge or the engine control room. It relates to a pirate defense system that can prevent damage from pirates by entering the hallway and stairs to isolate the pirates by instantaneously dropping the controllable wall.

In recent years, incidents in which a ship is being evacuated by an intruder from outside, such as a pirate, are often reported through the media. In particular, in recent years, the accident of abductions on ships operating in the Gulf of Aden is more frequent.

Such vessels are mainly caused by common weapons, such as the Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher (RPG), which can cause serious damage to the hull, rather than threats from personal firearms such as rifles. There is an urgent need for measures to protect the hull from raids such as grenade launchers.

In addition, armed naval robbery is frequently occurring in the seas around the world, including on the Somalia coast. In order to prevent this, countries around the world have cooperated to put navy troops into frequent areas where pirates appeared, but it is impossible to monitor all the wide seas, and pirates are caught because they continue piracy in the gaps or areas where surveillance is neglected. It is not easy to do.

Therefore, ships in charge of logistics around the world have no choice but to bypass the pirates in a safe area, or take the risk of pirates and operate the ship to the pirates' haunting area. The best way to prevent such piracy is to equip yourself with protective equipment on board the ship.

To this end, a large number of ships equipped with weapons and facilities for defeating pirates are increasing. The most basic example is to have a weapon, such as a gun, to choose to fight against armed forces when pirates appear. However, this method is not only effective in front of pirates heavily armed with the latest weapons of mass destruction, but can be reckless. In addition, it is not preferable because there is a big concern of the event.

In order to solve this problem, various facilities may be installed to prevent pirates from boarding a ship. For example, when a pirate ship emerges, a large net is hung around the ship so that the pirate ship is caught in the net when the ship approaches the ship. However, there is always the inconvenience of having to carry a large net with a bulky and heavy ship, and can not effectively defeat the pirates if the pirate ship does not sink in the net.

As another example, a method of preventing pirate boarding by using a high-pressure jet nozzle may be used. In general, pirates approach the ship's outer surface and attempt to board the ship using crampons or portable ladders. The high pressure jet nozzle is installed on the railing to prevent pirates from boarding by spraying water on the outer surface of the ship.The method using the high pressure jet nozzle is more effective than the method using a large net, but the high pressure jet nozzle operates electronically. To do so, a separate electrical equipment must be provided, which is bulky, expensive to produce and heavy. In addition, there is also a problem that the frequency of failure due to the nature of the mechanism for spraying water soaked into the electrical installation. In addition, since the high-pressure jet nozzle is fixed to the railing, the jetting direction of the water is fixed, so there is a problem that pirates attempting to embark using a blind spot where water is not sprayed cannot be prevented.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0040162 discloses a hydraulic high pressure spray nozzle which can be variably in the direction of a spray nozzle and is not equipped with electrical equipment.

However, if the pirates penetrate the ship through such a defense system, most ships do not have a special defense system, so they are exposed to pirate attacks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised under such a background, and has a controllable wall with anti-piracy function installed in a corridor, stairway, etc. in an enclosed area directed towards a bridge or engine control room. If a normal intruder, such as a pirate, invades the ship, identify and monitor the pirate's wires from the bridge through CCTV, evacuate the crew to the bridge or the engine control room, and then enter the corridor and stairs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pirate defense system capable of preventing damage from pirates by dropping the controllable walls to isolate pirates.

Pirate defense system according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, as a pirate defense system for defending the crew and the hull from unjust intruders such as pirates on a ship,

A detector for detecting the intrusion of an unjust intruder such as a pirate on the ship;

A pirate defense wall installed in the corridor or stairs of the ship to trap the unjust intruder;

A control unit for identifying a movement state of the illegal intruder and operating a pirate defense wall when a pirate enters an area where the pirate defense wall is installed; And

It provides a pirate defense system comprising a drive for driving the pirate defense wall up or down.

According to the present invention, an illegal intruder such as a pirate can be trapped in a certain area of the ship to prevent it from coming out, so that it can request assistance to external support forces such as a seascape and also prevent the ship from being invaded by the bridge and the engine room. This can be avoided, and the need for additional space such as a safety room is not required.
