Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container that can accommodate at least one underwater buoyancy aid and can be inserted into a torpedo tube of a submarine.
  • the invention also relates to a submarine with such a container and a method for releasing at least one underwater buoyancy aid from a submarine.
  • underwater swimming aids Diver Propulsion Vehicles
  • DE 102004049615 A1 and DE 102005001817 A1 known.
  • the underwater buoyancy aid is transported to the site of use in a torpedo tube on the submarine.
  • EP 2 530 423 A1 discloses a torpedo launcher with a movable housing suitable for receiving a flotation device.
  • EP 2 088 076 A2 discloses a flotation device suitable for being thrown through the torpedo tube of a submarine.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method which facilitate the transport and deployment of an underwater buoyancy aid from a torpedo tube of a submarine.
  • the housing surrounds a cavity. This cavity is designed to accommodate at least one underwater swimming aid.
  • the container extends along a longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the external dimensions of the container are adapted to those internal dimensions that a torpedo tube of a submarine has in this vertical plane.
  • each external dimension of the container in this plane is less than or equal to the internal dimension of a torpedo tube in this plane. Thanks to the adapted dimensions, the container can be inserted into a torpedo tube of a submarine, this torpedo tube being designed to hold a torpedo.
  • the holding device can be converted either into a holding state or into a release state.
  • the holding device When the holding device is in the holding state, it is able to hold at least one underwater buoyancy aid inside the cavity of the housing. In the released state, the holding device allows the underwater buoyancy aid to be removed from the housing.
  • the actuation device is spatially separated from the holding device and can be actuated. After an actuation, the actuation device transfers the holding device from the holding state to the release state.
  • the invention further provides a method for deploying at least one underwater buoyancy aid from a torpedo tube of a submarine. Before the or an underwater swimming aid is exposed, it is located in the housing of a container according to the solution. This container together with the or each underwater buoyancy aid is located inside the torpedo tube. The holding device of the container is in the holding state.
  • the housing of the container encloses a cavity which can accommodate at least one underwater swimming aid that is to be transported and later released.
  • This housing protects the underwater buoyancy aid from mechanical damage during transport.
  • the container can be used both to transport the underwater buoyancy aid in the housing inside a torpedo tube and to transport the underwater buoyancy aid to the submarine with the torpedo tube.
  • the holding device When the holding device is in the holding state, it holds the or each underwater buoyancy aid inside the housing. This avoids movement of the or any underwater buoyancy aid in the housing relative to the container. Without the holding device, such a relative movement can occur in particular when the container together with the underwater buoyancy aid is transported on board a vehicle, for example a submarine or surface ship or land vehicle, and the vehicle with the container moves, for example due to wave movements or Unevenness on land or in the air. This relative movement can lead to damage to the underwater buoyancy aid being transported.
  • a vehicle for example a submarine or surface ship or land vehicle
  • the container is adapted to the external dimensions of a torpedo in this plane in a plane perpendicular to the container's longitudinal axis
  • the container together with at least one underwater buoyancy aid in the housing of the container, can be inserted into a torpedo tube of a submarine and out of this torpedo tube again pull.
  • the torpedo tube surrounds the container.
  • the torpedo tube can either hold a torpedo or a container according to the solution.
  • the torpedo tube which is used to guide and hold of a torpedo is able to guide and carry the container in the same way.
  • a relative movement of the container relative to the torpedo tube is avoided as long as the holding device is in the holding state. Such relative motion could occur when the submarine is moving in the water due to wave action or currents.
  • the dimensions of the container in the vertical plane can be determined so that the container has only a small clearance in the torpedo tube and can therefore only move a short distance in the torpedo tube, if at all.
  • the length of the container according to the solution i.e. the extent along the longitudinal axis, can differ from the length of a torpedo.
  • the container length is limited upwards only by the length of the torpedo tube and downwards by the length of the underwater buoyancy aid to be accommodated, but can be significantly less than the length of the torpedo tube.
  • a submarine has a device inside the pressure hull to stow and transport torpedoes, for example a kind of shelf or plate-shaped tubs.
  • a container according to the solution can also be placed on such a stowage and transport device. This makes it possible to transport an underwater buoyancy aid to be suspended in a container according to the solution in the interior of the pressure hull of the submarine near a place of use, to place the container with the underwater buoyancy aid in a torpedo tube in the pressure hull and then to remove the underwater buoyancy aid from the outside. Pull the swimming aid out of the container. While the container and the underwater buoyancy aid are being transported, preparatory work can be carried out.
  • the submarine it is not necessary to provide a receiving device specifically for an underwater swimming aid in the pressure hull. It is also possible for the submarine to transport the container to the site of use while the container is in the torpedo tube. In the context of this disclosure, if something is shown to be happening "from the outside", then the aim is that a user, in particular a diver, is outside the submarine and the corresponding action is taken by there, i.e. outside the submarine, for example by the user reaching into the torpedo tube.
  • the submarine includes a cover for the torpedo tube, which is arranged on the pressure hull and / or on the outer hull of the submarine and can be opened and closed.
  • the closed lid separates the torpedo tube from the surrounding water and can withstand the water pressure. This means that it is not necessary to design the container in such a way that it can withstand the water pressure up to the maximum diving depth of the submarine. Rather, the closed lid, the outer hull and / or the pressure hull of the submarine ensure that the container in the torpedo tube and the or each underwater buoyancy aid housed in the housing are not damaged by the water pressure.
  • the container bridges deviations between the external dimensions of an underwater buoyancy aid to be transported and deployed and the internal dimensions of a torpedo tube in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container. This means that it is not necessary to adapt the underwater buoyancy aid itself to the internal dimensions of the torpedo tube. Furthermore, it is not necessary to adapt the torpedo tube to the dimensions of the underwater buoyancy aid. Thanks to the container, the torpedo tube can accommodate different underwater swimming aids with different dimensions simultaneously or one after the other, without the torpedo tube having to be adapted to different underwater swimming aids.
  • the holding device can be converted into the release state with an actuating device that is spatially separated from the holding device.
  • This spatially separated arrangement makes it easier to get the underwater swimming aid or an underwater swimming aid out of the container.
  • the container according to the solution makes it easier to take an exposed underwater buoyancy aid back into the torpedo tube.
  • the container remains in the torpedo tube after the or any underwater buoyancy aid has been deployed.
  • the underwater swimming aid simply needs to be pushed back into the housing, with the housing being adapted to the underwater swimming aid.
  • the same underwater buoyancy aid can be suspended and resumed one after the other and is not lost after one use.
  • the container according to the solution also enables a different procedure to deploy an underwater buoyancy aid into the water and later pick it up again in the torpedo tube:
  • the container together with the or each underwater buoyancy aid is pulled out of the torpedo tube.
  • the or each underwater buoyancy aid is pushed back into the container while the container is outside the torpedo tube.
  • the filled container is inserted into the torpedo tube.
  • the container includes a vehicle guidance device.
  • This vehicle guidance device is arranged inside the housing.
  • the vehicle guidance device can guide at least one underwater buoyancy aid relative to the housing, specifically along the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the or each underwater buoyancy aid is guided in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container while the underwater buoyancy aid is pulled out of the container or pushed into the container. This reduces the risk of the underwater buoyancy aid hitting the housing while the holding device is in the release state.
  • the housing can accommodate at least two underwater swimming aids at the same time, namely - viewed from the longitudinal axis of the container - one behind the other or on top of each other or next to each other.
  • the container includes a vehicle coupling device. This vehicle coupling device is able to couple the two underwater swimming aids to one another while these underwater swimming aids are accommodated in the housing. The coupling between the two underwater swimming aids can be released.
  • the housing can accommodate at least two underwater swimming aids at the same time. This makes better use of the available space inside the torpedo tube and only one torpedo tube is needed to transport multiple underwater buoyancy aids at the same time.
  • the holding device holds one of the underwater swimming aids inside the housing and prevents movement of this underwater swimming aid relative to the container.
  • a vehicle coupling device releasably couples the held underwater buoyancy aid to the or any other underwater buoyancy aid in the housing. This means that it is sufficient for the holding device to only be able to hold an underwater swimming aid.
  • the same container can be used to transport just one underwater buoyancy aid or at least two underwater buoyancy aids without having to change the holding device.
  • the or any other underwater swimming aid is held with the help of the vehicle coupling device.
  • the coupling between the two underwater buoyancy aids is maintained while the two underwater buoyancy aids are moved out of the container. It is enough to pull one underwater buoyancy aid or push the other underwater buoyancy aid. The coupling is released when both underwater buoyancy aids have been removed from the container.
  • a container coupling device is preferably attached to the outside of the container.
  • the submarine with the torpedo tube includes a container holding device, for example a holding device which is able to hold a torpedo in the torpedo tube.
  • the container coupling device on the outside of the container can be connected to the container holding device. This connection can be broken again.
  • the container can be coupled to a corresponding container holding device on a submarine after the container has been inserted into a torpedo tube of the submarine.
  • the container coupling device prevents movement of the container relative to the torpedo tube in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container. Such a relative movement can otherwise be triggered by a movement of the submarine under water and can result in the container hitting a flap of the torpedo tube from the inside.
  • a projecting element for example a retaining latch, is attached to the outside of the container.
  • This projecting element protrudes radially over a cross-sectional area of the container, namely in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the submarine includes a torpedo guidance device which is accommodated inside the torpedo tube.
  • This torpedo guidance device is designed to guide a torpedo relative to the torpedo tube, for example when the torpedo is inserted into the torpedo tube and / or is ejected from the torpedo tube.
  • the projecting element on the outside of the container cooperates with this torpedo guiding device in order to guide the container, in particular when it is pushed into the torpedo tube and / or pulled out of the torpedo tube.
  • this projecting element corresponds to a guide device inside the torpedo tube.
  • a guiding device is often present anyway in order to guide a torpedo when it is inserted into the torpedo tube and when it is ejected from the torpedo tube.
  • the projecting element engages in a corresponding guide rail inside the torpedo tube. Thanks to the projecting element on the container and the guiding device in the torpedo tube, the container is guided when the container is moved in a direction parallel to the Container longitudinal axis is inserted into the torpedo tube.
  • the projecting element and the guide device work together to prevent the container from rotating around the longitudinal axis of the container when it is inserted. This prevents the underwater buoyancy aid or an underwater buoyancy aid in the housing from tipping over.
  • the holding device of the container can be smaller.
  • the actuation device comprises an actuation element and a transmission means.
  • the actuating element can be actuated from a position outside the container. Actuation of the actuating element causes the transmission means to transfer the holding device from the holding state to the release state.
  • the actuating element can be operated by a person who is largely outside the container.
  • This feature is particularly important because the torpedo tube is usually below the surface of the water, even when the submarine has surfaced. Thanks to this feature, a user, for example a diver, can operate the actuator from the outside without having to swim into the torpedo tube or otherwise have to get into the interior of the torpedo tube. It is sufficient for the user to reach into the container from the outside and actuate the actuating element.
  • the transmission means the holding device itself can be arranged on the side of the container that faces away from the mouth of the torpedo tube. The transmission means transmits the operation of the actuating element to the holding device. This releases the or an underwater buoyancy aid in the housing.
  • the actuating element comprises a handle.
  • the transmission means includes a cable pull. This cable is connected to the handle and preferably to the holding device.
  • a user for example a diver, can operate the handle. Operating the handle causes the cable to be pulled and a pulling movement on the holding device exercises.
  • This purely mechanical design enables a particularly simple construction and does not require any supply of electrical energy.
  • the actuation device comprises a drive for the holding device, which can be controlled from the outside.
  • the actuating element includes a remote control.
  • the transmission means provides a wireless or wired transmission channel, for example according to a mobile radio standard.
  • a user such as a diver, may carry the remote control while the user moves to the container. It is possible, but not necessary thanks to the remote control, to permanently attach a mechanical actuating element to the container in such a way that the actuating element can be reached from the outside. Thanks to the remote control, the risk that the holding device cannot be transferred to the release state because a mechanical actuating element or a mechanical transmission means is damaged is reduced.
  • the holding device comprises a spring element. This spring element strives to keep the holding device in the holding state.
  • the holding device can be transferred from the holding state to the release state against the spring force of this spring element.
  • the spring element prevents the holding device from being automatically transferred from the holding state to the release state and thereby causing an underwater swimming aid in the housing to unintentionally move relative to the container. Furthermore, thanks to the spring element, it is sufficient that the confirmed actuating element causes the holding device to be transferred from the holding state to the release state. The spring element automatically brings about a transfer back to the holding state.
  • the actuation of the handle preferably causes the holding device to move against the spring force of the spring element Release status is transferred.
  • the controllable drive causes the holding device to be transferred to the release state against the spring force of the spring element.
  • the submarine includes a displacement unit.
  • this displacement unit is designed to push a torpedo out of the torpedo tube.
  • this displacement unit can also be used to push a container according to the solution together with an underwater buoyancy aid out of the torpedo tube or to push the underwater buoyancy aid out of the container and leave the container in the torpedo tube.

  • the displacement unit can push the container out of the torpedo tube or push the underwater buoyancy aid out of the container and leave the container in the torpedo tube.

  • the housing can be arranged inside this tube.
  • the tube or part of the tube also provides the housing.
  • the external dimensions of this tube are preferably equal to the external dimensions of a torpedo. This makes it possible to insert the container into a torpedo tube in such a way that the open end faces the mouth of the torpedo tube and the closed end goes into the other Show direction. This configuration avoids the need for a user to open a closure of the container to access the or any underwater buoyancy aid within the housing.
  • the container includes a drive.
  • This drive is able to move the or each underwater buoyancy aid in the housing and thereby move the underwater buoyancy aid relative to the container without necessarily moving the housing.
  • the drive is able to move the or each underwater buoyancy aid in the housing relative to the container along the longitudinal axis of the container. In order to remove the or each underwater buoyancy aid from the container, the drive moves the underwater buoyancy aid towards the mouth of the torpedo tube.
  • the drive eliminates the need for a user to manually pull an underwater buoyancy aid out of the container. This makes it easier to move the underwater buoyancy aid out of the container against the resistance of the surrounding water.
  • the container includes a base unit in addition to the housing.
  • the housing can be moved relative to the base unit in at least two opposite directions, both of which are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the drive can move the housing relative to the base unit and can therefore also move an underwater swimming aid inside the housing relative to the base unit.
  • the drive displaces the or each underwater buoyancy aid in the container relative to the housing. In another embodiment, the drive moves the entire housing with the or each underwater buoyancy aid in the container relative to a base unit.

  • the housing is at least partially pushed out of the torpedo tube. Thanks to the drive, the distance between the container and the mouth of the torpedo tube in the outer skin of the submarine. This configuration makes it easier for a user, for example a diver, to gain access from the outside to the or each underwater swimming aid in the housing.
  • the container with the underwater buoyancy aid While the container with the underwater buoyancy aid is transported inside a torpedo tube, the container preferably has the smallest possible length and is at the greatest possible distance from the mouth of the torpedo tube in the outer skin of the submarine. The distance further reduces the risk of damage to the container or an underwater buoyancy aid in the housing. It is possible that the container with the underwater buoyancy aid is located completely inside the pressure hull of the submarine and a closed flap embedded in the pressure hull protects the container from the surrounding water pressure. In order to remove an underwater swimming aid from the container, in one embodiment the length of the container is increased. This means that the entire container does not need to be moved towards the mouth of the torpedo tube.

  • the display device is able to signal the situation that a lid or a flap of the torpedo tube, which holds the container, can now be closed because the underwater buoyancy aid has reached the transport position. This prevents the moving lid or flap from colliding with the container or the underwater buoyancy aid.
