Description

The utility model relates to the field of marine engineering, namely to devices serving for storage of underwater vehicles on carriers - surface ships and submarines.

Underwater vehicles (PA) are further understood as self-propelled displacement devices, including those located in transport and launch containers, operating in water and designed to monitor the environment, as well as interaction with the carrier or surrounding objects.

It is known that the operation of PA, as well as other equipment, is a set of measures - use, maintenance, transportation and storage, ensuring their normal functioning in accordance with the indicators established in the technical documentation [Naval Dictionary / Ch. ed. V.N. Chernavin. M .: Military Publishing, 1989. S. 484].

Storage of PA makes up most of the time they are used on the media and plays an important role in solving their inherent problems. Storage systems for a PA in a submarine (PL) are known when a PA is loaded inside a submarine hull, for example, in a torpedo tube (TA) or on a rack [Encyclopedia of the future admiral. About the fleet and ships. St. Petersburg: LLC Polygon Publishing House, 2003. - 448 p.], Or in a launcher (launcher) [Patent for invention RU 2412855. Launcher of a submarine / Andreev S.Yu. et al. - M .: FIPS, 2011], which is located both inside the solid submarine housing and outside it - outboard PU.

On surface ships (NK), PAs are stored in specially designated places on the upper deck or in pipes of TA or PU located both on the upper deck and inside the hull. In the process of storage, PAs perform their maintenance and perform regular and extraordinary checks to maintain the PA in constant readiness for use [Novikov A.V. The integrated Club-N missile system. Handling missiles on a ship. St. Petersburg: VMI, 2004. S. 42].

Submarine vehicles stored on the carrier have a high fire and explosion hazard due to the presence of energy sources used for movement, radiation into the environment or mechanical destruction of various objects, depending on the purpose of the PA. Storage systems for PA located inside the carrier body are equipped with control and fire extinguishing devices, however, in the event of a fire or other emergency situation with PA, they pose a certain danger to the carrier, which is one of the disadvantages of such storage systems.

The safest place for storage of PA for the carrier is outboard PU or inter-side space [Efimov O.I. et al. Outboard submarine weapons modules: possible solutions // Defense order No. 18, 2008. Internet application, www.ozakaz.ru]. In addition, such systems provide the placement of multifunctional user agents and their adaptability to the tasks being solved.

The above-mentioned known PA storage systems have advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they have exhausted the resource of further improvement when placing the PA inside the solid submarine hull or on the upper deck of the NK, since they cannot provide massive use of PA. They limit the carrier in the number of PAs placed, both inside the submarine hull and on the upper deck of the NK (ship), complicate their loading and unloading, and require additional time to reload the PA from the shelves in the TA or PU. In addition, they do not allow the use of PA from the side of the NK or vessel in ice conditions.

At the same time, such requirements are imposed on modern PA carriers as their universality in the tasks being solved and their adaptability to the use of PAs for various purposes, the quick setup of technical systems to solve assigned tasks [O. Efimov et al. Outboard submarine weapons modules: possible solutions // Defense order No. 18, 2008. Internet application. www.ozakaz.ru]. Existing storage systems do not correspond to the specified requirements to the same extent as similar systems, but are placed outside the solid submarine housing or in the double-sided space of the NK. Only they are designed to provide the modification diversity of the used PAs, the massiveness of their use due to placement on the media in much larger quantities, as well as greater explosion and fire safety of the media.

The closest analogue of such a device is the installation for laying PA - marine bottom seismic receivers. This installation contains a frame, an outlet, a mobile rotary magazine for storing PA, a cylindrical tank with an inner chamber and an outlet, a pump with hydraulic communication with the inner chamber [Application for invention No. 2007131268. Method and installation for laying marine bottom seismic receivers / Thompson D. et al. - M .: FIPS, 2009].

The disadvantage of this installation is the limited number of places for storing the user agent, the lack of input device job in BSU PA. This disadvantage can be eliminated by using the existing contact devices of mechanical or electrical data input discussed above. However, in outboard PU submarines, the use of contact data input devices is associated with the problem of their reliability and ensuring tightness under environmental conditions.

The purpose of the utility model is the development of such a storage device for PA on the NK (ship) or submarine, which will provide the carrier with a large number of places for storing PA for various purposes. At the same time, it will make it possible to quickly configure technical systems during PA inspections, as well as increase the safety of the carrier and maintenance personnel.

This drawback can be eliminated with the use of contactless data input devices and information exchange using wireless optical communication channels [E. Vinogradov. NPK "Catharsis" // "Security Algorithm", No. 4, 2005].

A storage system for underwater vehicles located on a floating vehicle, including a frame, a mobile carousel with a drive, storage space for underwater vehicles on a floating vehicle, according to a utility model, each storage location of an underwater vehicle is additionally equipped with a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of its storage and a non-contact device data input and information exchange between media control devices and the onboard control system of the underwater vehicle using wireless opt communication channel.

The use of the proposed storage system for underwater vehicles will increase the number and expand the range of underwater vehicles used by the carrier, increase the safety of the carrier, free up significant useful volumes in the carrier’s body for other uses, and make contactless information exchange with the BSU PA during storage and checks.
