Definitions

the invention relates to a blow-out device for ejection and drain pipes of submarines for ejecting weapons by means of compressed gas which can be supplied from the associated compressed gas containers and controlled via a circuit arrangement.
blow-out devices consist of voluminous pressure bottles which are arranged outside the torpedo tube and are provided with corresponding connecting lines. It is also known to press water into the torpedo tube in large quantities and at high pressure. These arrangements are too complex for many areas of application and, above all, have the defect that it is difficult to retrofit them in existing systems.
the object of the invention is to provide a device of the generic type, which also ensures retrofitting in existing systems and enables in a simple manner to reduce the initial pressure surge and prevents water from entering the blow-out device after the blow-out process has ended.
the pressurized gas container is arranged in the bottom region of the discharge and drain pipe and one with a rear on the side assigned to the weapon has impact valve provided outlet opening which is connected to a buffer tube penetrating the compressed gas container, which has passage openings leading to the interior of the compressed gas container at the end region opposite the check valve and an outlet opening is formed which can be controlled via an outlet valve.
Flawless operation is advantageously achieved in that the closing force of the check valve corresponds to a pressure difference of at least 0.5 bar.
a favorable arrangement is achieved in that the compressed gas container forms a unit with the control arrangement.
the opening stroke of the blow-off valve be designed to be adjustable via a linkage.
the blow-out valve be coupled to a control piston arrangement which can be acted upon on both sides and that the cylinder spaces formed are connected to one another via a throttle device with an adjustable cross section.
the firing valve be connected to the buffer tube by a control line to maintain the firing position. This effectively locks the fire position achieved.
blow-off valve with its shut-off cone protrude into the blow-out opening in such a way that a minimal part of the opening cross-section of the blow-out opening is released in the first part of the opening path.
the torpedo tube 1 shown is provided with a bottom cover 2 and receives a blow-out device 3.
the blow-out device 3 is formed by a compressed gas container 3.0 and an instrument part 3.1 for the control arrangement, which are introduced as a unit in the torpedo tube 1.
the pressure gas container 3.0 is provided on the side facing the weapon with an outlet opening 3.16 and is controlled by a check valve 3.4 with a pressure spring 3.5.
the opening 3.16 is connected to a buffer tube 3.3 which is guided through the compressed gas container 3.0.
through-openings 5.2 to the interior of the compressed gas container 3.0 are arranged and the actual blow-out opening 3.17 to the buffer tube 3.3 is controlled by a blow-out valve 3.2.
the check valve 3.4 is acted upon by the pressure spring 3.5 in the closing direction, so that at least a pressure difference of 0.5 bar is formed.
the two sides of the piston of the control piston arrangement 3.7 are connected to one another by a cylinder 3.10 via lines 3.11, the flow cross-section and thus the opening speed being changeable in dependence on the depth by means of an adjustable throttle device 3.12.
This adjustment device is adjustable from the inside of the boat via an operating spindle 3.13 through the closed bottom cover 2.
this side is a low pressure accumulator. 3.14 assigned.
the adjustment can also be controlled automatically by the depth of the water pressure.
the actual blow-out process to eject the weapon is triggered by a firing valve 4, which in this case is controlled electrically.
This firing valve 4 is locked in the firing position after initiation of the firing process by the pressure in the buffer tube 3.3 being applied to the control side 4.2 of the firing valve 4 via a connecting line 4.1.
the blow-off valve 3.2 is enclosed, for example, by an annular gate valve 5 and is normally positioned so that its radial bores 5.1 are aligned with the associated bores 5.2 of the valve housing.
a switching valve 5.4 is actuated via a line 5.3, which switches the gate valve 5 on one side via the vent line 5.5 relieved, so that it is moved into a blocking position in which the passage through the bores 5.2 to the blow-off valve 3.2 is blocked.
the switching valve 5.4 is locked in the venting position or the gate valve remains in the blocking position until the pressure in the buffer tube 3.3 has dropped. It is of course also possible to lock the gate valve 5 in the closed position.
the instrument part 3.1 forms a structural and functional unit with the compressed gas container 3.0, with the connecting lines to the inside of the boat, namely a ventilation line 6 and an electrical one Supply line 7 and adjustment devices 3.9 and 3.13 are easily detachable in the bottom cover 2 of the torpedo tube.
the device becomes particularly easy to handle and failsafe if the operating and supply elements are not guided through the bottom cover 2 but through the wall of the torpedo tube 1, as shown in FIG. 2.
the depth-dependent stroke limitation of the blow-out valve 3.2 via the piston rod 3.6 is represented by an eccentric disk 3.15, the position of which can be changed using the actuating spindle 3.9.
vent and blow-out bores arranged on the encapsulated control arrangement 3.1 on the firing valve 4, the switching valve 5.4 for the gate valve 5 and the switching valve 8 of the compressed gas container 3.0 are combined to form a common vent line 6.1, which leads into the connecting line 6 to the inside of the boat.
This measure prevents that inevitable moisture, which can escape from the valves mentioned, collects in the control arrangement 3.1 and there leads to malfunctions in the electrical components.
the line 6.1 also reduces any excess pressure that may have arisen in the encapsulated control arrangement 3.1.
an additional line is connected via a check valve 6.2, the check valve 6.2 being installed in such a way that only the direction of flow from the instrument part into line 6.1 is released.
a locking device for the blow-out valve 3.2 is shown, which prevents unintentional actuation of the filled blow-out device during transport or in the torpedo tube 1.
the piston rod 3.6 is given a cylindrical extension 21, the end 22 of which is offset in half over a length corresponding to the valve stroke.
a corresponding spindle 23 can be rotated in the control arrangement 3.1, but is axially immovable. Both parts 21, 23 are aligned so that the stepped ends 22 and 24 face each other in the blocking position with a minimal distance, but after the spindle 23 has rotated through 180 ° in the release position, an unimpeded opening of the blow-off valve 3.2 is allowed.
the lock can be operated through the bottom cover 2 with the help of an extension spindle 26 even when the torpedo tube 1 is flooded.
