Description

41B921 —. ____ * V. Description of the Invention (1) The present invention relates to a submersible ship. In detail, the present invention relates to a submersible boat which can have a relatively high speed on the water surface and thus can be used for taxiing. The known submersible boat has a wide range of uses, which can be used for scientific / research purposes and for recreational purposes. Different types of manned vessels can be used for shallow water work or for exploration in deep water. In addition, 'submersible boats equipped with controls can be used in connection with water ballasting towers. Work on it. Dive boats have also been developed for tourism use, for example in tropical seas. However, such ships have cabins that can be sealed to resist water pressure, thereby providing an unrestrained environment for the crew and passengers. Semi-submersible vessels have also been used for military purposes. (Example: torpedo speedboat) During World War II, it was used to transport explosives that were intended to remain near Jintian's ship. As its name implies, this is basically an A < ship is a delicate torpedo 'and is driven by a conventional torpedo propulsion, such as driven by compressed air β ", however, the present invention provides a ship, It has a relative surface speed of *. T W ^ ^ ^ 9 and can carry one or more passengers, and this t 疋 has an underwater breathing device (scuba device) that is automatically installed, and the passenger is set In the above cabin, when the ship arrives at a suitable place, the water seat can be closed as soon as it is open, and it is treated with waterproof.

An embodiment of the present invention is to provide a submersible boat, which can taxi when driven at a speed, and has an unsealed 2 乂 "cabin facing the opposite side,

The water system in the cabin can be removed by an electric pump (not shown) 'or by a pump of appropriate power driven by the main motor (10). If necessary, a traditional light source can also be provided for navigation on the water. And the lighting under the water is tied to the body. The bow is provided with a straight forward spotlight (21) 'and a wide-angle light (22) is provided on both the bow and the spar. A remotely operated anchor (23) can be provided on the bow. A pair of shields (24) are used to block the waves at the position of the ship when the ship is moving on the water, and to be used as a guide for the water when the ship is moving under the water. Permanent buoyancy is provided by the dense (25 '25') located at the bow and stern. The embodiment of the vessel described here is designed to carry two divers equipped with full scuba equipment, and advances at the surface speed of up to 35 knots (浬 / hour) to the desired destination The diving area, and then the surface firewood, the propulsion device (10) can close 'all openings (12, 13), and then add Z seal waterproof, and the ship submerged into the water. The propulsion force under the surface is provided by the electric thruster (16), which can accelerate the ship to a speed of 5 knots (,, / mile / hour). The diving depth is limited only by the maximum depth that an unequipped scuba diver can dive into.

The above-mentioned embodiment has a total length of 5.00 meters (16_4 inches) and a waterline length of 4.20 meters (1 37 inches; " feet) with a maximum horizontal width of 2.00 meters (6, 56 inches), a surface draft length of 0.30 meters (1 foot), and a displacement of approximately 13,000 meters (2,866 pounds). The shape of the hull is quite unique. It is a completely flat shallow V-shape below the floating line, and above the floating hull, its shape is best to reduce the resistance when diving ~ entering. The surface propulsion is provided by a diesel engine built into a waterproof casing. This device drives a crossbar mounted on a water injector that matches the engine power. It is controlled by the directional thrust of a rotary nozzle and is provided with a reverse bucket. The engine compartment (丨 丨) is hermetically sealed by closing the air inlet (12) and exhaust (13). A high-efficiency submersible air compressor is installed on the engine, and a high-efficiency parent stream generator for quickly charging the battery is also installed thereon, and a high-efficiency ballast water / sewage extraction pump is provided. It is used to exclude the flooding of the ship when the ship floats on the water. The propulsion water injector can also be separated from the main bow engine through a clutch, and the air inlet and exhaust port are located at the height of the ship 4 so that the introduction can run at full speed on the draft surface 'to extract the pressure Capturing water and charging the battery. It can be loaded with sufficient fuel for full speed forward for 6 hours. The thrust under the water is provided by two electric thrusters independently. Its system is installed on the upper part of the upper part of the aft ship's soil to remove the bottom, stones and the sea bed. Caused by: These devices are electrically enabled and have a fairly wide lateral separation.

The direction of thrust can also be used to rotate the ship within its own length range simply by reversing each other. Alternatively, a directional thruster can be used, or a conventional rudder can be installed on the ship. The battery power is sufficient for two hours of continuous operation under the water. The diving mechanism is the same as the one constructed on the conventional diving boat, by which the front and rear ballast tanks (18, 19) can enter the water until the ship sinks to achieve a balanced buoyancy. Adjust to control the rate of sinking. Ballast tanks are preferably arranged to provide a bow-down position as they submerge to help control. In order to bring the ship to the surface, the compressed air 'stored in the standard diving bottle (20) must be sprayed into the ballast tank (18, 19) to raise the ship. When the ship breaks out of the water ’, the main engine is started to extract the ballast tank and dry the ship. It also provides sewage / ballast water extraction pumps. i

In order to maintain the level of the ship, and can compensate any loading load or submerged water pressure difference. I I dive control system is quite simple. Based on the consideration of convenience and safety, its I series provides two operation / control positions, and it is operated by a coupled dual control architecture. The control system is controlled by a conventional aircraft-type steering wheel, and simultaneously controls the surface water injector and the underwater propeller. Push forward or push the joystick forward. System I can adjust the forward horizontal rudder (20, 20,) to control the longitudinal attitude of the ship at the bottom of the water, which is good for submerging or raising a buoyant ship. The horizontal rudder system is designed to make the hull roll when the ship is manoeuvring

It can be described in five aspects of the invention (7) that the ship rolls into a turn when turning at a speed, thereby creating greater stability under the water surface ° In the above-mentioned embodiment, 'the ship is equipped with a seat with a back Shelves are used to accommodate two seats side by side. This cylinder allows the diver to learn when needed !; it is installed on the back of the diver and it also provides a quick release safety belt. :: Escape freely from the boat. ^^ _, it also has a double diversion baffle (24), which is placed in front of each diver &gt; «a ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ <cut surface to reduce the resistance under the water surface, and has a double negative Carrying frame (Fu Haiyi,, v ^ # ^. ^. ^ Not shown), it is located on the front panel or attached to the sea floor to load extra gas cylinders or other items equipped with equipment . The ship is equipped with searchlights at the #rim height, a wide-angle light (22) on the lateral side, and a spotlight (21) on the forward side. These lights can be varied in intensity to match visibility conditions. It is also easy to install a camera and special equipment brackets. A protective cover can be installed on the ship's cabin for use in hazardous areas, such as when monitoring Cao. In front, a berth anchor (23) is installed flush with the ship's bow. It can be put or retracted quickly by remote control in the cabin, while the cable is wound on an electrically controlled reel. Yerong is also equipped with an emergency surface system. In this way, all available air can be blown into the ballast tank to ensure rapid ascent. When a dive | boat disappears, this feature can be remotely controlled from the surface.丨 The submersible boat of the present invention has many uses. For example, it can be used for medley diving, such as around a reef, or for whale watching. | It can also be used for underwater photography, or for routine inspection of underwater engineering facilities
