Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en anordning ved trådstyrt torpedo og nærmere bestemt en anordning for å muliggjøre og lette skyting av en torpedo med liten kaliber ut av et torpedorør med større kaliber. The present invention relates to a device for a wire-guided torpedo and more specifically a device to enable and facilitate the firing of a torpedo with a small caliber out of a torpedo tube with a larger caliber.

Med trådstyrt torpedo menes en torpedo som er forsynt med styre-organér, som fra utskytningsstedet kan påvirkes ved hjelp av led-ninger' eller tråder som er montert i en slange. Slangen er montert i en slangekveil, og ved utskyting av torpedoen vikles eller hasples slangen ut efterhvert som torpedoen fjerner seg fra tor-pedorøret. Slangemagasinet har vanligvis vært stasjonært montert på torpedorørets bakre ende, og ved utskyting av torpedoen trekkes altså slangen gjennom røret når den følger torpedoen. Torpedoer fremstilles i visse standarddimensjoner, og likeså fremstilles torpedorør i visse standarddimensjoner. I de tilfeller hvor torpedoene har mindre dimensjon enn torpedorørene, har man tidligere vanligvis montert et innsatsrør i det stasjonære torpedo-rør, men anvendelsen av innsatsrør medfører visse problemer ved ladningen spesielt på grunn av at man må ta hensyn til det i rør-et monterte slangemagasin og anordninger forbundet med dette. By wire-guided torpedo is meant a torpedo that is equipped with control organs, which can be influenced from the launch point by means of wires or wires mounted in a hose. The hose is mounted in a hose coil, and when the torpedo is launched, the hose is wound or unwound as the torpedo moves away from the torpedo tube. The hose magazine has usually been stationary mounted on the rear end of the torpedo tube, and when the torpedo is launched the hose is pulled through the tube as it follows the torpedo. Torpedoes are manufactured in certain standard dimensions, and likewise torpedo tubes are manufactured in certain standard dimensions. In those cases where the torpedoes have smaller dimensions than the torpedo tubes, in the past an insert tube has usually been mounted in the stationary torpedo tube, but the use of insert tubes entails certain problems during loading, especially due to the fact that you have to take into account what is installed in the tube hose magazine and devices associated with this.

Oppfinnelsens hensikt er derfor å tilveiebringe en ny og forbed-ret anordning for å muliggjøre skyting av torpedoer med liten kaliber ut av et torpedorør med større kaliber, og oppfinnelsen kjennetegnes ved at torpedoen langs sin periferi er forsynt med et antall støtteskinner for tilpasning av torpedoen med støtte-skinner til torpedorørets kaliber, hvilke støtteskinner danner to halvsirkelformede skinnesystemer som holdes sammen ved hjelp av sprengbolter beregnet på å utløses like etter at torpedoen har forlatt torpedorøret, hvorved skinnesystemene skilles fra hverandre og løsner fra torpedoen, og ved at slangen for styretrådene til torpedoen er formet til et slangemagasin for hver torpedo, som er montert i bakover utadragende deler av støtteskin-nene. The purpose of the invention is therefore to provide a new and improved device for enabling the firing of torpedoes with a small caliber out of a torpedo tube with a larger caliber, and the invention is characterized by the fact that the torpedo along its periphery is provided with a number of support rails for adapting the torpedo with support rails for the caliber of the torpedo tube, which support rails form two semi-circular rail systems held together by means of detonating bolts intended to be fired soon after the torpedo has left the torpedo tube, thereby separating the rail systems and detaching from the torpedo, and by the hose for the guidance wires of the torpedo is shaped into a hose magazine for each torpedo, which is mounted in rearwardly projecting parts of the support rails.

Den nye anordning medfører flere fordeler. Ved at støtteskinnene monteres på torpedoen, behøver ingen forholdsregler tas, idet røret uten modifikasjoner kan anvendes for forskjellige kalibre på torpedoen. Normalt er et torpedorør med grov kaliber så langt at to torpedoer av liten kaliber kan monteres i rekke efter hverandre i samme torpedorør, og man får derved en øket skyteka-pasitet. Ved at slangemagasinet er montert på torpedoen, så kan slangen med styretrådene tilhørende såvel den fremre som den bakre torpedo uten problemer og uten å skades av hverandre eller av torpedorøret vikles eller hasples ut, spesielt da slangen fra den fremre torpedo fortrinnsvis legges unna de langs- The new device brings several advantages. As the support rails are mounted on the torpedo, no precautions need to be taken, as the tube can be used without modifications for different calibers on the torpedo. Normally, a coarse-caliber torpedo tube is so long that two small-caliber torpedoes can be mounted one after the other in the same torpedo tube, thereby increasing the firing capacity. As the hose magazine is mounted on the torpedo, the hose with the guide wires belonging to both the front and the rear torpedo can be unwound or unwound without problems and without being damaged by each other or by the torpedo tube, especially since the hose from the front torpedo is preferably placed away from the longitudinal

gående støtteskinner for den bakre torpedo. Slangen med styretrådene kan ikke skades under uttrekkingen fordi de ikke skraper mot noen kanter eller fremstikkende deler i torpedorøret, og man får derved en sikrere funksjon enn tidligere. Videre blir ladningen og håndteringen av torpedoene ombord på det aktuelle far-tøy enkel. walking support rails for the rear torpedo. The hose with the guide wires cannot be damaged during extraction because they do not scratch against any edges or protruding parts in the torpedo tube, and you thereby get a safer function than before. Furthermore, the loading and handling of the torpedoes on board the vessel in question becomes simple.

Ytterligere karakteristiske trekk på oppfinnelsen vil fremgå av den følgende detaljerte beskrivelse, i hvilken det vil bli hen-vist til tegningene, hvor Further characteristic features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, in which reference will be made to the drawings, where

Oppfinnelsen vedrører altså en anordning ved en trådstyrt torpedo, hvor man gjør torpedoen helt klar i land og tar den ombord med alle de anordninger ferdige som behøves for at den skal kunne lades direkte i torpedorøret. The invention thus relates to a device for a wire-guided torpedo, where the torpedo is made completely ready ashore and taken on board with all the devices ready that are needed so that it can be loaded directly into the torpedo tube.

På tegningene vises hvorledes to torpedoer 1, 2 ifølge oppfinnelsen er ladet i et torpedorør 3. Torpedoene 1 og 2 er av konvensjonelt slag og er i den bakre ende forsynt med vanlige midler 4 for fremdrift og styring av torpedoen. Torpedoen forut-settes å være trådstyrt, og styretrådene er montert i en slange 5, som fra hver torpedo går til et påvirkningsorgan 6 som er fast montert i eller ved torpedorøret. The drawings show how two torpedoes 1, 2 according to the invention are loaded in a torpedo tube 3. The torpedoes 1 and 2 are of the conventional type and are provided at the rear end with the usual means 4 for propulsion and control of the torpedo. The torpedo is assumed to be wire-guided, and the guide wires are mounted in a hose 5, which runs from each torpedo to an impact member 6 which is permanently mounted in or near the torpedo tube.

Torpedoene 1 og 2 har mindre kaliber enn torpedorøret 3, og torpedoen forsynes derfor i lagringstilstand med støtteskinner 7-12, som er montert i torpedoens lengderetning langs dennes periferi, og som tilpasser torpedoen for rørets 3 kaliber. Skinnene er sammenføyet slik at de danner to halvdeler, den ene bestående av skinnene 7, 9, 11 og den andre skinnene 8, 10, 12. Skinnene 9 og 10 er delt vertikalt likesom også skinnene 11 og 12. Skinneparene 9 og 10 resp. 11 og 12 sammenholdes av sprengbolter 13 resp. 14. Skinneparene 9, 10 og 11, 12 er anordnet mot hverandre, og i stort sett rett vinkel på disse skinnepar er skinnene 7 og 8 montert. Skinneparene 9, 10 og 11, 12 sammenholdes ved den fremre ende av holderbånd 15 anordnet i det vesentlige i samme vertikale plan som sprengboltene 13, 14. Skinnene 7, 8 holdes fast mot de øvre skinner 9 resp. 10 ved hjelp av bladfjærer, nemlig en kraftig bladfjær 16 ved den fremre ende og en svakere bladfjær 17 ved den bakre ende. Bladfjærenes 16, 17 oppgave; er å slynge skinnesystemet til side når sprengboltene 13, 14 sprenges, og ved at den aktre bladfjær 17 er svakere enn den fremre ønsker man å tilveiebringe at skinnesystemet kastes skrått utad med den fremre ende. The torpedoes 1 and 2 have a smaller caliber than the torpedo tube 3, and the torpedo is therefore supplied in storage condition with support rails 7-12, which are mounted in the longitudinal direction of the torpedo along its periphery, and which adapt the torpedo for the tube 3 caliber. The rails are joined so that they form two halves, one consisting of rails 7, 9, 11 and the other rails 8, 10, 12. Rails 9 and 10 are divided vertically, as are also rails 11 and 12. Rail pairs 9 and 10 resp. 11 and 12 are held together by explosive bolts 13 or 14. The pairs of rails 9, 10 and 11, 12 are arranged against each other, and the rails 7 and 8 are mounted at roughly right angles to these pairs of rails. The pairs of rails 9, 10 and 11, 12 are held together at the front end by retaining straps 15 arranged essentially in the same vertical plane as the blasting bolts 13, 14. The rails 7, 8 are held firmly against the upper rails 9 resp. 10 by means of leaf springs, namely a strong leaf spring 16 at the front end and a weaker leaf spring 17 at the rear end. Leaf springs 16, 17 task; is to fling the rail system aside when the detonating bolts 13, 14 are detonated, and by the fact that the aft leaf spring 17 is weaker than the front one, you want to ensure that the rail system is thrown obliquely outwards with the front end.

Som tidligere nevnt er styretrådene for torpedoene montert i slanger, og disse slanger er viklet opp til slangemagasin bestående av to halvdeler 18, 19. Slangemagasinene 18, 19 er montert i de bakre utadragende ender av støtteskinnene 9, 10 resp. 11, 12 på en slik måte at når skinnesystemet deles ved sprengning av sprengboltenel3, 14, så deles også slangemagasinene i tilsvarende halvdeler. Slangen 5 er oppviklet i magasinet og holdes på plass av gummilepper 20 i et antall vindinger regnet aktenfra. Ved den i fig. 6 antydede vinding 21 opphører gummileppene, og i stedet holdes slangevindingene sammen ved hjelp av sløyfer 22 av tråd. Sløyfene 22 holder sammen to inntil hverandre liggende slangevindinger og fordeles jevnt rundt vindingene. Seks å åtte sløyfer mellom to vindinger synes å være en hensikts-messig fordeling. Om vindingen 21 ligger en sløyfe på en leder 23. Denne leder står i forbindelse med torpedoen og dens elek-triske system. As previously mentioned, the guide wires for the torpedoes are mounted in hoses, and these hoses are wound up into a hose magazine consisting of two halves 18, 19. The hose magazines 18, 19 are mounted in the rear protruding ends of the support rails 9, 10 resp. 11, 12 in such a way that when the rail system is split by blasting the blasting bolts 3, 14, the hose magazines are also split into corresponding halves. The hose 5 is coiled in the magazine and is held in place by rubber lips 20 in a number of turns counted from the stern. By the one in fig. 6 indicated winding 21 ends the rubber lips, and instead the hose windings are held together by means of loops 22 of wire. The loops 22 hold together two adjacent turns of hose and are distributed evenly around the turns. Six to eight loops between two windings seems to be an appropriate distribution. About the winding 21 is a loop on a conductor 23. This conductor is connected to the torpedo and its electrical system.

Når torpedoen svømmer ut spoles de slangevindinger ut som ligger fastholdt av gummileppene 20. Disse skal være så mange i antall at torpedoen befinner seg utenfor røret når vindingen 21 løs-gjøres fra leppene. Når vindingen 21 under torpedoens bevegelse fremad forlater sløyfen 23, slites denne av og en strømkrets brytes, og via organer i torpedoen slippes spenning gjennom den med strekede linjer markerte leder 24 til sprengboltene 13 og 14. Når sprengboltene brister, slynges skinnesystemene til side og synker. De med sløyfene 22 sammenholdte vindinger på slangen vil innta en stilling 25 som markeres i fig. 7. Anordningen er utformet med tanke på at skinnesystemene skal fjernes fra torpedoen og synke til bunns og ikke skade styretråden som frigjøres når de med sløyfer 22 sammenholdte vindinger er utspolet og slangen fri-kobles fra torpedoen. When the torpedo swims out, the hose windings held by the rubber lips 20 are unwound. These must be so numerous that the torpedo is outside the tube when the winding 21 is released from the lips. When the winding 21 during the forward movement of the torpedo leaves the loop 23, this is torn off and a current circuit is broken, and via organs in the torpedo voltage is released through the conductor 24 marked with dashed lines to the detonating bolts 13 and 14. When the detonating bolts burst, the rail systems are thrown aside and sink . The windings on the hose joined by the loops 22 will occupy a position 25 which is marked in fig. 7. The device is designed with the aim that the rail systems should be removed from the torpedo and sink to the bottom and not damage the guide wire which is released when the windings connected by loops 22 are unwound and the hose is disconnected from the torpedo.

Når torpedoen befinner seg i torpedorøret 3 skjer overføring av informasjon med mere gjennom kabler 26, som er festet i koblings-organer 27 i rørlokket 28 og følger med torpedoen ut av røret. When the torpedo is in the torpedo tube 3, the transmission of information etc. takes place through cables 26, which are attached to coupling members 27 in the tube cap 28 and follow the torpedo out of the tube.

I forbindelse med at skinnesystemene felles følger også koblings-delen 26' med og synker til bunns. In connection with the common rail systems, the coupling part 26' also follows and sinks to the bottom.

De nedre skinner 11, 12 er i de fremre ender 29 plogformede for å tilveiebringe at.slangen fra den fremre torpedo 1 skal holdes til side når den aktre torpedo 2 svømmer ut, slik at den ikke hindrer utsvømmingen av den aktre torpedo. The lower rails 11, 12 are plow-shaped at the front ends 29 to ensure that the hose from the forward torpedo 1 is held aside when the aft torpedo 2 swims out, so that it does not prevent the aft torpedo from swimming out.
