Description

Simultaneous charge and drainage system of submarine launch tubes {SIMULTANEOUS CHARGE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF SUBMARINE LAUNCHER}

The present invention relates to a system for simultaneous filling and draining of an underwater launch tube.

As is well known, submarines are one of the most threatening weapons that can be strategically operated through on-board armament based on stealth.

In submarines, the method of launching armament using a launch tube differs depending on the composition of the equipment related to the launch device, but most submarines have a replenishment tank in which water is stored and a pneumatic supply device that supplies compressed air for the launch of the armament. Includes. It is configured to replenish water into the launch tube using a filling and drainage tank and a pneumatic supply device to achieve a balance between the external seawater pressure and the pressure inside the launch tube, and then launch the armament.

However, the conventional submarine launch tube was not capable of simultaneously filling and draining water, so it was constructed in a structure in which water can be filled in the other launch tube only after the water from one launch tube has been emptied into the filling and drainage tank.

In other words, conventional submarines could not simultaneously fill and drain water within the same prefecture. Therefore, in the case of a launch tube within the same prefecture, the water from the filled launch tube must be drained to the replenishment tank, and then the other launch tube is connected. It could be appended.

However, the filling and drainage tank (i.e., the armed operation tank) is generally located at the bottom of the launch tube and requires high air pressure to overcome the head between the filling and drainage tank and the launch tube, but a high head is a negative factor for rapid filling. Worked.

Accordingly, there is a need for a technical solution capable of quickly filling and draining water in a combat situation by moving water in a launch pipe requiring drainage to another launch pipe requiring filling.

As a related prior document, there is Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0138375, and the prior document discloses a device for controlling filling/draining of a horizontal submarine launch tube.

However, according to the contents disclosed in the prior literature, it is possible to enable rapid fire of armament by allowing the charging and drainage to be operated independently, but the composition that can simultaneously enable the charging and draining is suggested. none.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0138375

That is, the filling and draining mode selection valve 430 is located at an intermediate position between the rear of the entire plurality of filling and draining valves 421, 422, 423, and 424 through the filling and draining line 410 and the front of the filling and draining tank 200. Can be formed.

Filling and draining mode selection valve 430 is at least one of the remaining canisters (first in Figure 1) while at least one of the canisters (110, 120, 130, 140) (referring to the first tube 110 in FIG. 1) is drained. 4 It allows the filling of the launch tube 140. For this purpose, the filling and draining mode selection valve 430 is at least one of a plurality of simultaneous filling and draining lines 611, 612, 613, and 614 (for example, FIG. In 1, the drainage direction may be changed so as to be connected to the filling and drainage tank 200 through reference numeral 614.

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a description will be made of an operation method of the simultaneous replenishment and drainage system 1000 of an underwater launch tube according to the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 1, water from the No. 1 launch tube 110 is drained, and for this purpose, compressed air (g) is supplied from the compressed air supply unit 300 through the vent line 511 to the No. 1 launch tube 110 And, the water (w) filled in the No. 1 launch tube 110 is drained.

On the other hand, the drained water (w) moves along the filling and drainage line 410 by opening the first filling and draining valve 421, and blocking the filling and draining mode selection valve 430 and the fourth filling and draining valve 424 Due to the opening of the gun is filled with the 4th launch tube 140 for the firing of the armed. That is, the drainage of the first tube 110 and the filling of the fourth tube 140 may proceed at the same time.

On the other hand, until the filling of the 4th tube 140 is completed, as shown in FIG. 1, the flow of water is performed, and the filling and drainage are simultaneously used by the adjustment of the three-way valve 624 connected to the 4th tube 140 The flow direction of water to the filling and drainage tank 200 through one of the lines 611, 612, 613, and 614 may be determined.

If, when the filling of the 4th tube 140 is completed, the water (w) drained from the 1st tube 110 may be directly drained toward the filling and drainage tank 200 by opening the filling and draining mode selection valve 430. I can.

As described above, according to the configuration and operation of the present invention, it is possible to quickly fill and drain water in a combat situation by moving water in a launch pipe requiring drainage to another launch pipe requiring filling.
