Definitions
- the invention relates to a starting device for starting an underwater hull and to a corresponding method in which an underwater hull is started by means of such a starting device.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of starting underwater running bodies significantly more cost-effectively.
- the invention solves this problem by means of a starting device for starting an underwater hull, which has a landside, in particular landed movable, carrier system for transporting the underwater hull and a landfill system for land transporting the underwater hull into a coastal waters, wherein the carrier system comprises the delivery system or the carrier system and the Movement system are provided separately from each other.
- the invention solves this problem by means of a method for starting an underwater runner body with such a starting device, wherein the underwater running body transported in a landside, in particular landed movable carrier system to a starting position and landed by means of a delivery system from the carrier system into a coastal waters and there is started from the starting device.
- the invention is based on the finding that underwater running bodies do not necessarily have to be started from a sea-based platform, but that this is also possible by means of a land-based system.
- the invention provides a land-based transport system by means of which can be spent directly from land underwater running body into the water and started there. This way are sea-based platforms dispensable, so that the use of expensive over- or underwater vehicles can be dispensed with.
- the invention thus allows a significantly cheaper system for starting underwater running bodies, which is also very flexible due to its mobility.
- the carrier system is a container, in particular a container movable on land side.
- the carrier system is a vehicle with a container, in particular a tractor-trailer.
- the starting device according to the invention therefore provides a carrier system which is preferably a trailer for transporting the container.
- the container may be firmly connected to a chassis.
- the container is a forty-foot container with customary dimensions in commercial shipping.
- Such containers have a length of 12.19 m, a width of 2.44 m and a height of 2.60 m.
- the container is therefore designed according to ISO 668. This is advantageous since such a container can be loaded with conventional loading devices on ships or on trucks and trailers for receiving such standard containers. This facilitates the handling of such containers and reduces the costs incurred in the manufacture and use.
- a particular embodiment of the container is a hazardous goods container, in particular a modified tank for transporting liquids.
- the transport of the underwater running bodies is declared as dangerous goods, but due to the shell of the container, can not be recognized as an underwater runner transport.
- the underwater hulls are protected against transport and are particularly secure in the event of accidents.
- the carrier system is a vehicle, in particular a vehicle, which is designed to transport loads, in particular a vehicle with a closable or open loading area with or without cover, in particular a tarpaulin.
- the carrier system is thus advantageously a light truck, vans, vans, delivery vans or flatbed.
- the carrier system is a vehicle with one or more connected trailers with or without containers, in particular a trailer two- or multi-axle semitrailer, a three- or multi-axle semi-trailer or multi-articulated train.
- Such vehicles are especially trailer trains, EuroCombi or road trains.
- the trailers have unguided axles or alternatively one or more steered axles. This is advantageous because several underwater running bodies can be transported simultaneously and the load can be reduced by the weight of the underwater running bodies per axle.
- An alternative embodiment of the carrier system is a rail vehicle with one or more wagons, in particular a railway carriage as a freight car or passenger coach, with or without their own drive.
- a rail vehicle with one or more wagons, in particular a railway carriage as a freight car or passenger coach, with or without their own drive.
- this reduces the transport costs, if rails are already laid in the area of coastal waters, as is the case for example in port facilities.
- the carrier system preferably has an optically deceptive camouflage device, in particular an optical dune replica, rock replica or camouflage cover, for example a camouflage tent or a desert sand camouflage device.
- an optically deceptive camouflage device in particular an optical dune replica, rock replica or camouflage cover, for example a camouflage tent or a desert sand camouflage device.
- the optical illusion comprises the reproduction of naturally given geographical features, in particular dunes, rocks or hills.
- the surface structure of the replica is advantageously provided with typical objects of the starting environment such as e.g. Plants or rocks, in particular grass, shrubs or sand, expandable.
- the camouflage device preferably has color and / or patterns of the start environment.
- start environment is meant the environment in which the carrier system is for launching one of the underwater bodies, and these embodiments are particularly advantageous because the detection and hence the detection probability of the carrier systems decreases.
- the delivery system preferably has a delivery arm, a trolley and a cable which can be extended to or from the carrier system, wherein the trolley can be moved on the delivery and the cable can be connected directly or indirectly to the underwater circulation body at a first of its two ends and guided over the trolley is and with its second end in communication with a drive, by means of the extended boom and a outer end position on the boom moved trolley, the underwater body can be launched.
- the underwater hull can thus be moved out with the help of the trolley and the movable boom from the carrier system and left over the water substantially vertically into the water and then started.
- This embodiment is particularly advantageous because a controlled movement of the underwater body is ensured in the water even in shallow waters.
- the underwater body can be started even at shallow water because it can be accelerated out of a steady, quiet horizontal position. This is made possible by the substantially vertical, guided on a rope lowering the underwater hull into a predetermined depth of water.
- the transfer system has a cage for receiving the underwater hull, wherein the first end of the rope is connectable to the cage. Thanks to such a cage, the underwater hull does not require a declutching device to separate it from the rope, which would be required in an alternative direct attachment of the rope to the underwater hull. However, this would initially lead to a drop and thus to a vertical acceleration of the underwater body. Thanks to the cage, however, the underwater hull can be accelerated horizontally out of the cage.
- Training as a cage i. with only a few struts, which surround the underwater body, is particularly advantageous because when watering the underwater body no air must be displaced, as would be the case for example with a tubular container.
- there is essentially no recoil on the cage when launching the underwater hull which would lead to uncontrollable movements of the cage, thus making it difficult to launch the hull horizontally.
- the use of a cage is therefore also advantageous in terms of the necessary depth of water. If, in fact, a submergible hull with the propeller initially picking up a dynamic dive ride due to inclination, a substantially deeper depth of water would be required to start. However, thanks to the horizontal start orientation of the underwater hull supported by the cage, even shallow water depths are sufficient to start the underwater hull.
- a tubular container is provided, in particular a tube, with at least one opening.
- the distribution of forces when resting the underwater body is not limited to individual struts of the cage, but on the entire distributed overlying surface of the tubular container.
- the tubular container has only one opening, which is located in the outlet direction of the underwater running body and has at least the diameter of the underwater running body.
- such a tubular container after its entry into the water by ropes by means of clamping devices, in particular hooks or wedges, fixed, so that the forces of the recoil is counteracted.
- the clamping devices are mounted in the direction of the opening of the container at least two opposite, lying relative to the longitudinal axis of the container bodies. This facilitates the controlled start of the underwater body despite recoil.
- the tubular container has more than one opening, in particular a perforation, so that air in the container can escape during the watering of the container. This is advantageous because the air can otherwise cause buoyancy and thus an uncontrolled change in position under water.
- the recoil is reduced when starting the underwater hull and in this way can be dispensed with fixation by means of clamping devices.
- the boom is designed as a telescopic boom with a plurality of telescopic segments.
- a telescopic boom allows longer boom reaches and thus a farther from the shore starting position in which larger water depths are expected.
- the application possibilities of the starting device are thereby extended, as even with only gently sloping banks thus a shipment of the underwater body into the water is possible.
- the container has a counterweight, which is arranged in the region of the end of the container, which is opposite an optionally closable, in particular rear-side, opening for extending the boom.
- a counterweight which is arranged in the region of the end of the container, which is opposite an optionally closable, in particular rear-side, opening for extending the boom.
- the boom is mounted in the upper region of the container.
- the space below the boom for storing a plurality of underwater running bodies remains free. In this way, it is readily possible to accommodate a variety of underwater running bodies in a single container.
- the movement system has a slide device which extends below a container underwater underwater running body or subsequent to a the underwater hull receiving cage starting over a closable, in particular rear-side opening of the container extending and downwards tilting.
- a Unterwasserlaufisson can be spent on a slide into the water and then started.
- the underwater running body requires for this purpose only an inclined slide, which is advantageously designed in the manner of a groove.
- This slide begins in the container below the underwater hull or following the said cage and is extended in the course of take-off preparations by one or more sections outside the container. In this way, it is possible to use the movement system even on beaches or silty coastal sections where the immediate bank area is not passable.
- the slide device therefore has a plurality of slide extension segments, which can be connected to one another.
- the chute can be extended in such a way that even larger water depths can be reached, in which the underwater hull can be easily started without the risk of damage to the body of water.
- the transfer system has a cage for receiving the underwater hull, said cage being pivotable in a vertical plane by means of a drive about a pivot axis provided in the region of the container opening. By pivoting this cage begins to slip from a predetermined angle of inclination of the underwater hull, so that it passes through the chute device into the water. The underwater hull is therefore released by pivoting the cage.
- the movement system comprises a catapult, by means of which the underwater running body is ejected from the carrier system, in particular a tensionable spring system.
- the tensionable spring system preferably has elastic tension cables and a tensioning device.
- the underwater running body has an attitude which is designed in such a way that the traction cable is released as soon as the traction cable is in the opposite direction to the tensioned traction direction.
- the bracket is not visible due to a spring-driven flap when the pull rope is not connected. This is advantageous because the dynamic properties of the underwater body in the water remain unaffected.
- the attachment points of the pull rope are displaceable in rails.
- These rails of the delivery system are fixedly mounted on the carrier system, in particular in the corners of the container.
- the rails have both pulleys, as well as attachment points of the pull rope.
- the pull rope is connected from the attachment point on the pulley with the holder of the underwater hull.
- the tensioning of the traction cable by shortening the traction cable, in particular by a winch, or by extending the distance of the deflection roller to the rail via a telescopic rail, executable.
- the underwater body is placed in the preloaded initial position of the catapult, but without forming tensile forces in the direction of ejection.
- the thus biased underwater hull is connectable to a mounting device for the cassette on the carrier system.
- the support is provided in the catapult, as long as the release mechanism does not release the tensile forces of the pull ropes.
- the tensile forces are increased by pulleys guided over pulleys by clamping, in particular via a winch at the attachment points of the pull rope.
- the pull rope is stretched over extendable telescopic rails, in which at the end of the telescopic rail has a guide roller over which the pull rope runs.
- a specific embodiment of the delivery system has two or more pull ropes per rail.
- the brackets are attached to the underwater hull before and after the center of gravity of the underwater hull.
- the underwater body is thus controlled by the tensioning process of the catapult in its orientation.
- the trajectory of the underwater running body is predetermined from the catapult.
- the transfer system has a non-return guard, as the triggering of the catapult may move the transfer system due to the inertia of the underwater hull.
- the non-return device is designed as a wedge, triangular block, anchor or hook.
- the catapult thus has a fastening device, in particular with a triggering system, and a tensioning device, in particular by means of deflection rollers and elastic tension cables.
- a particular embodiment of the cage has one or more parts assembly, so that the base is separable from the surrounding part. This is advantageous because the underwater hull is secured transportable and yet on the elastic tension cables can be lifted out.
- the carrier system is positioned in the area of the movement system and the transfer system stationary.
- This embodiment is advantageous in terms of transport costs, since the movement system does not have to be transported, but the already existing on-site shift system is used. Furthermore, the movement system is weighted on the ground or moored to the ground and thus achieved a structural stability.
- the carrier system can be positioned in the area of the movement system and the movement system can be transported and, in particular, moved on the long side.
- the transfer system is not only on / on the carrier system after transport, but also mounted outside the carrier system.
- a special embodiment of the movement system is therefore transportable and can be moved on the land side.
- a carrier system does not necessarily have to transport the transfer system and the underwater hoppers, but instead the space in the carrier system could be used for a plurality of underwater hoppers.
- the transfer system can thus be transported by another carrier system.
- the invention is not limited to deployment by a delivery system for a carrier system.
- a transfer system can be positioned for a plurality of carrier systems. This reduces the number of transfer systems to a maximum of one and thus saves costs.
- a fillable container providing a counterweight of the transfer system and reducing a tilting moment.
- the transportable transport system it is according to the invention not necessary to transport the heavy massive counterweights to compensate for the weight of the underwater hull, but only the unfilled container, which is behebar by the water of the coastal waters.
- sand, stones or other heavy materials can also be filled into the container for the counterweight.
- Another embodiment of the transfer system is a lifting / crane device to which a rope is attached and which, in turn, is connected to the cage in which the underwater hull rests. By lifting, panning and / or moving the cage, the underwater body can be moved into the water. The attachment with a rope on the cage facilitates the introduction of the underwater body into the water, since no notching device is necessary, but the underwater running body can be started directly from the cage.
- a specific embodiment of the transfer system is a lifting / crane device which is positionable and / or mountable on a fixed bank, in particular a quay or a rocky coast, and has a crane arm with a reach ranging from the water to the carrier system.
- the range of the lifting / crane device is advantageously at least as large formed by appropriate dimensioning of the crane arm, that the cage together with underwater running body from the carrier system can be raised and brought into the water without bumping against the banked shore.
- Egg ne base of the lifting / lifting device is positioned and stabilized on the bank by means of one or more weighting container, which are filled in particular by water.
- the crane arm is pivotable on the basis of the lifting / crane device.
- the crane arm can be extended by a telescopic device.
- the underwater running body can be connected directly or indirectly via the cage by means of a cable.
- the cassette is attached to the cage.
- the message line of the cassette is connected to a stationary message line connection device via an extension of the message line, in particular a protective tube-covered message line. Due to the degrees of freedom of the lifting and crane device, the underwater running body can be brought into the water, wherein the cassette in the cage can be connected via the extension of the message line to the stationary message line connecting device.
- a connection between the control room and the communication line connection device can be produced and in this way the underwater running body controllable.
- the cage is thus aligned in a calm horizontal position in the water and the underwater running body can be started.
- this has a stationary base of the lifting / crane device which is connected to the quay.
- the stationary base of the lifting / crane device consists of at least one post on which, in particular via at least one bolt, a boom of the lifting / crane device is mounted.
- On the boom of the lifting / crane device is at least one trolley, in particular two trolleys.
- the second trolley for the counterweight is connectable to a weighting container.
- the first trolley for the underwater hull is connected by a rope directly to the underwater hull or indirectly via the cage.
- the position of the counterweight can be positioned on the boom and the tilting moment, which acts on the boom through the underwater running body, can be minimized.
- the rope By means of a winch on the trolley for the underwater body, the rope can be shortened and thus the cage together with underwater body and cassette can be lifted.
- the underwater halyard catamaran on the boom of the lifting / lifting device By lifting and moving the underwater halyard catamaran on the boom of the lifting / lifting device, the underwater hull can be moved into the water.
- the trolley for the counterweight is moved in time to the trolley for the underwater body, so that the boom compensates for the tilting moment.
- the message line of the cassette is connectable by means of the extension of the message line to the stationary message line connection device, whereby the underwater running body is controllable.
- the movement system has a lifting / lowering device.
- the cage is additionally mounted on cage supports on the carrier system, so that advantageously a horizontal carrier rail of the lifting / lowering device can be moved under.
- the horizontal carrier rail can be moved horizontally on a horizontal rail guide.
- a vertical support rail is vertically movable on a vertical rail guide.
- the vertical support rail is connected by means of struts with the horizontal rail guide to strengthen the structure. This is advantageous because the lifting / lowering device for loading lifts the cage with the horizontal carrier rail extended and counteracts the lever forces.
- the vertical rail guide is attached to a fixed shore, in particular a quay or a rocky coast.
- the retracted horizontal support rail is lowered over the vertical support rail into the water. This facilitates the controlled movement of the underwater hull, as the cage with the underwater hull is always aligned horizontally and thus bootable. In this way, the spill of the underwater hull is land based stationary carried out of a cage. In the sunken and loaded state, the extension of the communication line from the cassette to the stationary communication line connection device is connectable. According to the invention by means of the communication line and the control room of underwater Laufgroper controllable.
- the carrier system comprises two or more, in particular the four first-mentioned movement systems, namely firstly the extendable boom, secondly the slide device, thirdly the catapult and fourthly the lifting / crane device.
- first-mentioned movement systems namely firstly the extendable boom, secondly the slide device, thirdly the catapult and fourthly the lifting / crane device.
- the starting device according to the invention therefore preferably provides the use of the slide device in sandy beach sections, the use of the jib at quays, or in one or more support systems a single lifting / crane device at quayside or fortified promenades, or the use of the catapult in impassable coastal sections, especially steep slopes with higher water depth.
- the cage has fastening means for fastening a cassette to a message line connecting the starting device and the underwater running body, in particular in the case of an optical waveguide.
- Underwater hoppers are regularly connected via a communication line to a control center for controlling the underwater hull.
- the message line is unwound for this purpose from the underwater running body, wherein in moving launch platforms usually from the launch platform from a message conductor coil is unwound.
- the launching platform remains stationary in the water during the running of the underwater hull, only one message conductor coil of short length is required in the area of the starting device.
- this part of the message line is housed in a cassette, which is advantageously attached to the cage.
- the cassette comprises a coil on which the message line is wound, and a protective tube for guiding the message line.
- the protective tube has a length that corresponds to a multiple of the length of the cage. By a “multiple of the length” are also non-integer multiples of the length to understand.
- the message line is protected by the protective tube over a length that extends beyond the length of the cage.
- the message line is protected not only in the area of the cage, but also in the area of the surf, so even in an area where the wave could possibly damage the communication line, if it would be unprotected in the water.
- the container is provided with a control room which is equipped with at least one workstation.
- This control room has control devices for starting and steering the underwater running body. For example, the boot process can be initiated via this control room. In addition, for example, also from this control room, a mission of the underwater body can be stopped if necessary.
- control room is separated from the room receiving the underwater hull by a partition, which preferably has a door.
- This dividing wall advantageously has a profile in the area of the underwater running body. jump in the direction of the control room. In this way, the maximum length of an underwater hull housed in the container is increased. In this way, an underwater body can be extended by one or more additional battery sections. This is advantageous because it can increase its range.
- the transfer system is modular and has a plurality of modules that are detachable from each other and reconnect to each other.
- the movement system can be solved in several smaller modules and each module is also individually transportable. This is advantageous because the probability of detection of the movement system drops during transport. Thus, a hidden or inconspicuous transport of the movement system is possible.
- the modules are thus locally, for example in the starting environment, connectable to each other and usable as a whole movement system.
