Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The device comprises a main Windlass driving a main wildcat engaged with the chain. At least one chain locker located near the main wildcat receives the heaved-in wildcat portion. The main chain is located beyond the chain locker with respect to the direction in which the chain is heaved in by the main wildcat.
  • An auxiliary wildcat disposed above the locker engages an intermediate section of the chain which extends between the main wildcat and the locker and a torque motor is drivingly connected to the auxiliary wildcat to impart to the intermediate chain section a constant tension irrespective of the direction of rotation of the main wildcat.
  • the present invention relates to windlasses and wildcats for winding up a chain and storing the latter in a chain locker in particular on board certain vessels. More precisely, it concerns an improved device for pulling on the chain with a large force notwithstanding a hanging length which is too short to enable the weight of the chain to produce sufficient grip on the wildcat or notwithstanding a winding angle which is insufficient to ensure a good engagement with the wildcat.
  • the invention also concerns the storage of the chain in an encumbered space.
  • this device may be mounted on a tug boat or an auxiliary ship provided for raising and storing an anchor and its chain which is fixed at the end thereof opposed to the ship (directly or through a cable) to for example a drilling platform out at sea.
  • the chain N must be stored just below this wildcat B of the ship R, as shown in FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings.
  • the locker P for the chain is often located in the vicinity of the engine room. Badly positioned, the locker is necessarily shallow.
  • the calibre of the chain is such that the chain locker located under the wildcat B is very rapidly obstructed so that no counterweight portion of the chain can compensate for C for the small winding angle A on the wildcat B, whereas a large pull is usually required for winding up the chain N.
  • FIG. la shows, for example, that if the chain storage capacity on the tug boat R is thus limited, the major part of the chain N can only be stored on board the ship that the tug boat is intended to draw along, as the illustrated platform PL. But this results in respect of long lengths of chain in the latter being dragged along the bottom of the sea in the three following cases:
  • the platform PL is anchored through a cable and an anchor with an intermediate chain.
  • To raise the anchor it is not easy to pull on board the platform PL the chain after the cable.
  • the tug boat R must then take on board all of the chain when raising the anchor (FIG. la). Likewise, it must cast all of the chain off when dropping the anchor.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention provides a device for heaving in, letting out and storing a chain, in particular on board a vessel such as a ship or a floating platform, comprising a main windlass provided with at least one main wildcat or sprocket wheel engaging said chain so as to effect the heaving in and the letting out of the chain, and at least one chain locker placed near to the main wildcat for receiving the portion of chain heaved in, wherein the main wildcat is placed beyond said chain locker with respect to the direction in which the useful section of the wildcat or sprocket wheel extends, and an auxiliary chain is disposed above the chain locker and engages an intermediate section of chain which extends between the main wildcat and the chain locker, a torque motor being provided for imparting to said intermediate chain section a constant tension irrespective of the direction of rotation of the main wildcat.
  • a plurality of aligned chain lockers each of which has its own auxiliary wildcat driven by a separate torque motor, these chain lockers being adapted to receive in succession a part of said chain by successive engagement with the associated wildcat.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of a tug boat which is heaving in the anchoring chain of a floating platform;
  • FIG. la is a similar view, but to an enlarged scale, of the tug boat with a cable and chain;
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a conventional chain windlass with its chain locker
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention comprising a main windlass and an auxiliary wildcat which improves the engagement of the chain on the main wildcat;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are elevatio'nal views, partly in section, of a device according to the invention comprising a main windlass and three auxiliary wildcats above three chain lockers (FIG. 4 corresponding to the start of the storage and FIG. 5 to an intermediate period of the storage);
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIGS. 4 and 5 in which there is employed a single auxiliary wildcat which is movable over the chain lockers;
  • FIG. 7 is a plan view of the deck of a vessel having two wildcat embarking systems with a mobile auxiliary chain (three lockers on each side of the vessel), the main and auxiliary wildcats having horizontal axes;
  • FIG. 8 is an elevational view of a device having a main windlass having a vertical axis and three auxiliary wildcats at fixed stations and having horizontal axes, these wildcats being oriented in different ways above their lockers;
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view of the device shown in FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of a locker having a device according to the invention with a main wildcat having a vertical axis and auxiliary Wildcats having vertical, axes and disposed at fixed stations;
  • FIG. 11 is a plan view of the device shown in FIG. 10,
  • FIG. 12 is a longitudinal diagrammatic view of the stern of a drill ship and a chain heaving device according to the invention.
  • the chain winding and storing device comprises in a first embodiment (FIG. 3) a main Windlass 1 with its wildcat or sprocket wheel 2 which engages with a chain 3 whose portion 4 located downstream of the wildcat 2, with respect to the direction of chain winding, is held taut by an auxiliary windlass 5.
  • the latter is located above a chain locker 6 which opens onto the deck 7 ofa ship for example.
  • the auxiliary pull exerted on the portion 4 is effected always in the same direction indicated by arrow F irrespective of the direction of rotation of the wildcat 2 (heaving in or letting out the chain 3).
  • the value of the auxiliary pull exerted by the wildcat or sprocket wheel 8 (here having by way of example six cogs although this number may be four or more) of the auxiliary Windlass is very low with respect to the forces exerted through the main wildcat on the chain portion 3. It is substantially constant irrespective of the direction of displacement of the chain portion 3.
  • the purpose thereof is to tension the portion 4 and cause the chain to wind round or overlap the wildcat 2 with a large angle which improves the engagement.
  • the chain then descends by the effect of its own weight at 9 and fills the chain locker 6 until the upper end of the latter is reached, if necessary.
  • the auxiliary pull therefore compensates for the lack of weight of the portion 9 which hangs from the wildcat 8 in the shallow chain locker.
  • a motor which is constantly carrying current or under pressure according as it is an electric or hydrau lic motor. It may be, for example, a torque motor of known type which, irrespective of the direction of rotation of the wildcat 8 (driven by the chain), exerts on the wildcat 8 a low torque in the direction of arrow G. In other words, the direction of application of the torque exerted by the torque motor remains the same (direction G) whether the winding be produced when dropping the anchor (letting out the chain) or when raising the anchor (heaving in the chain).
  • the overall size of the Windlass 5 is small since its power is low.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show the chain 3 which is heaved in by a main Windlass 1 withits wildcat 2, then passes in succession over the auxiliary Wildcats or sprocket wheels 10, 11, 12 provided with their respective torque motors.
  • the portions l3, l4, 15 of the chain are held taut at the start of the operation.
  • the torque motor of the wildcat 12 is stopped.
  • the chain then engages naturally in the following chain locker 17, the portions 13 and 14 remaining taut.
  • the wildcat 11 is stopped and the locker 18 is filled, the portion 13 alone then being taut.
  • the storage capacity is therefore greater, the number of lockers and auxiliary Wildcats being chosen as desired.
  • the position of these elements is chosen invaccordance with requirements on board, in particular in accordance with the position of the engine room below the deck.
  • the auxiliary wildcat 19 is single and mounted on a carriage 20 which travels along rails 21 through rollers 22.
  • the carriage 20 may be moved in an independent manner by a remote-controlled motor 23.
  • An optional locking system 27 enables the carriage to be fixed above each one of the chain lockers.
  • the chain portion 28 always remains taut owing to the effect of the torque motor.
  • the operation may be rendered automatic if desired.
  • a plurality of chain storing systems, one on each side of the vessel for example, may be arranged on the deck in a symmetrical or asymmetrical manner.
  • FIG. 7 shows that each main wildcat 2 is mounted at the end of a drum whereby other cables or chains may be wound.
  • the main wildcat or sprocket wheel 29 may have a vertical axis of rotation. It is driven by a I Windlass or other device located above or below the deck of the ship depending on the space left free by the engine room 30 containing the machinery propelling the ship. It is placed in accordance with other winches 31 (for example for raising the anchor) disposed on the deck for other purposes. Preferably, it is mounted on the axis of the ship so as to be capable of storing the chain in the chain lockers located on the port side (32, 33, 34) and the starboard side. (35, 36, 37).
  • the auxiliary wildcats38, 39, 40 with their torque motors may have a horizontal axis of rotation and be at fixed stations (FIGS. 8 and 9).
  • the angle in plan of the. vertical plan of the face of each wildcat is then a function of its distance from the main wildcat so as to precIude a jumping of the chain from the Wildcats. It will be clear that in this case it is necessary to cause the chain to jump or disengage from the wildcat40 when the locker 37 is full and then to pass the wildcat round the chain 39 so as to fill the locker 36 and so on until all the lockers are occupied by the chain. To change, the side of the ship it is necessary to reverse the winding of the chain on the main wildcat 29.
  • the auxiliary wildcats 41, 42, 43 have a vertical axis of rotation (FIGS. 10 and 11). It is then possible to fill the corresponding lockers 46, 47, 48 in succession according to the previously-described method illustrated in FIGS.-4 and 5, on condition that the portion 44 is held taut by a force exerted by the torque motor of each auxiliary wildcat in the direction of arrows H. If it is desired to obtain an improved wind ing angle on the wildcat 29, the chain portion 45 may also be put under tension by the torque motor which exerts its torque in the direction of arrow J. After stoppage of the torque motor of the wildcat 43 (locker 46 filled), the chain is passed manually onto the wildcat 42. Normally, the chain must then fill the locker 47 and then the locker 48. It will be understood that the same is true in respect of the row of lockers on the port side of the ship after having changedthe direction of windingof the chain on the main Wildcat 29.
  • Wildcats 38, 39, 40 may be replaced by a single.
  • the auxiliary Windlass assembly (wildcat and torque motor) is then mounted on a turret T (see the lower part of FIG. 9) which is mounted on a carriage to pivot about a vertical axis fixed relative to the carriage so as to be capable of suitably orienting the plane of engagement of the wildcat.
  • This orientation is then variable for each one of the positions above the corresponding locker. It can be automatic or'manual with preferably possibility of locking the position.
  • This arrangement is derived directly from the embodiment described hereinbefore with reference to FIG. 6.
  • the rails 21, the rollers 22and the carriage 20 are identical, the latter being however provided with the turret T:
  • the wildcats having vertical axes of rotation, .41, 42, 43 are also replaced-by a single wildcat having a vertical axis of rotation which is also mounted on a carriage (but without a turret) travelling above the chain locker.
  • the device according to the invention may be mounted on any vessel on which chains .are to be embarked and in which chain. storage poses a problem owing to lack of space.
  • the tug boats or auxiliary ships (supply ships) serving drilling platform's may be equipped with the device.
  • the device according to the invention is also applicable (FIG. 12) to drill ships which move with their drilling equipment (derrick) 49, the ships being required to embark chains 50 which have a large overall size in one or a plurality of shallow chain lockers 51.
  • the angle a of winding or overlap may be increased so as to improve the engagement of the chain on the main wildcat 5 by means of an auxiliary wildcat 53 with its torque motor.
  • a device for heaving in, letting out and storing a chain in particular on board a vessel such as a ship or a floating platform, comprising a main windlass provided with at least one main wildcat for engagement with the chain for heaving in and letting out the chain and connected to be driven by the windlass, and at least one chain locker located near the main wildcat for re-' DCving a heaved-in chain portion, the main wildcat being placed beyond said chain locker with respect to the direction in which the chain is heaved in by the main wildcat, an auxiliary wildcat disposed above the chain locker for engagement with an intermediate section of the chain which intermediate section extends between the main wildcat and the chain locker, and a torque motor drivingly connected to the auxiliary wildcat for imparting to said intermediate chain section a constant tension irrespective of the direction of rotation of the main wildcat.
