Definitions

  • the invention relates to a starting device for immersion bodies with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1, in particular an effector starting device on a submarine.
  • Devices of the type in question are usually arranged in modern submarines in a region between the pressure hull and an outer skin which sheaths this pressure hull, preferably in the area of the upper deck.
  • immersion bodies e.g. Torpedo defense effectors
  • the immersion bodies in the storage containers for protection against corrosion and other environmental influences usually in a protective means such.
  • Embedded glycol e.g. Tetrahydrofuran
  • these devices also serve to start the immersion bodies, which are expelled for this purpose by suitable means from the outlet openings of the storage container.
  • a piston-cylinder arrangement is known in which on a piston guided in a cylinder, a driver engaging on the immersion body is arranged. The cylinder is acted upon by a pressure medium, whereby the piston and, consequently, the immersion body is moved out of the storage container.
  • occlusion closure which is usually a hinged lid open.
  • the starting device according to the invention for immersion bodies is arranged outside a pressure hull of a submarine and preferably in the region of its upper deck. It has at least one storage container, which is closed on the outside by a mouth closure, for the storage and ejection of an immersion body.
  • the mouth closure of the storage container is formed by a membrane.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is therefore to completely dispense with the mechanism previously provided for opening the mouth closure and instead to provide a membrane which is destroyed when starting the immersion body, ie when ejecting the immersion body from the storage container.
  • Such a membrane is inexpensive to manufacture and closes the storage container tightly.
  • the membrane also ensures the required pressure equalization.
  • additional means for pressure equalization may be provided elsewhere in the storage container.
  • the storage container and the mouth closure is initially not needed any more.
  • the storage container is only loaded again when the submarine is in port, ie not at sea. Then the mouth closure, in particular the destroyed membrane, can be easily replaced.
  • the embodiment of the invention is not only structurally simple and therefore inexpensive. It also saves weight and is trouble-prone.
  • launching of submerged bodies can be excluded, nor a cap over the membrane are attached, which may also also at startup, typically by the immersion body itself, removed, d. H. is pushed away after destroying the membrane and protects against mechanical damage to the membrane.
  • the membrane is expediently designed and arranged such that it is destroyed to start the immersion body.
  • an arrangement is typically transverse to the direction expedient.
  • the destruction of the membrane for the purpose of starting the immersion body can be generated either by a cutting tool, which preferably cooperates with the already provided means for ejecting the immersion body from the storage container, or, which is even more constructive, by the immersion body, ie in particular the effector itself.
  • a cutting tool may for example be a knife, a mandrel or the like be subjected to force from the ejector or the body and expediently guided on the storage container or the ejector.
  • the means for ejecting the immersion body that is to say the ejection device, are preferably designed such that they eject the immersion body with sufficient force in the ejection direction so that the immersion body can puncture the membrane of the storage container.
  • the membrane is dimensioned such that the forces acting on the immersion body when piercing the membrane are less than or equal to the forces which subsequently act on the immersion body when ejected under water.
  • a dimensioning has the advantage that the immersion body itself can remain unchanged, it has surprisingly been found that on the basis of this condition, a sufficiently stable membrane can be formed, which seals the storage container and reliably protects against the ingress of seawater or particles.
  • the diaphragm is to be dimensioned even more stably, at least the tip of the immersion body must be correspondingly adapted in order to reliably prevent damage to the immersion body during puncturing.
  • a membrane which is formed by a biaxially oriented polypropylene film is available at low cost and can be used over a temperature range of for example -10 ° C to + 70 ° C.
  • a frame which is arranged at the end of the storage container.
  • Such a frame which fixes the membrane, ensures that it can expand in the load case only within limits in the ejection direction out and thus satisfies a comparatively small and defined breaking load for breaking through.
  • Such a frame may be formed according to the invention by a flanschförmlges member and the mouth-side end of the storage container, wherein between the membrane is preferably clamped with the inclusion of a seal or a leveling layer.
  • This flange-like component may be provided with a plurality of recesses, which are arranged correspondingly aligned with threaded holes in the end face of the storage container, so that this flange-shaped component can be defined by including the membrane at the end of the storage container.
  • the seal serves both to seal and to compensate for any unevenness between these components, so it can not only serve for sealing, but also to equalize the surface pressure acting on the membrane by the surrounding components.
  • the flange-shaped component typically has a central recess, which is formed and arranged in alignment with the inner contour of the storage container and which is covered by the membrane. It must be designed at least so that the immersion body can penetrate the recess, but is expediently adapted to the inner contour of the storage container in this area.
  • the actual ejection device advantageously has a piston-cylinder arrangement, either next to the storage container or in the storage container is arranged, such that the movable part is positively connected to the plunger in the ejection direction, for example by a driver.
  • the invention preferably provides a piston-cylinder arrangement in which a motion-coupled with the plunger piston or cylinder is movable against the mouth closure. That is, according to the invention by pressurizing a cylinder chamber of the cylinder in a rigidly arranged cylinder movable therein movable piston or a movably guided cylinder movable in a rigidly arranged piston, wherein the movement coupling of the movable piston or cylinder with the immersion body preferably via a on the Piston or cylinder arranged driver, which acts on the immersion body, takes place.
  • the orifice closure is destroyed either by the immersion body or by a cutting tool or by the piston or cylinder, depending on the configuration.
  • the motion-coupled to the plunger piston or cylinder can be designed and / or arranged such that it opens the mouth closure, d. H. pierces the membrane before the immersion body has reached the outlet opening of the storage container.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrated starting device for immersion bodies has a storage container 2.
  • the cross-section of the storage container 2 is basically arbitrary, but the storage container 2 is preferably tubular in shape (see FIG Fig. 2a ) educated.
  • the storage container 2 is used to hold a submersible body 4 in the form of an effector, which is arranged in the storage container 2 in a frame, not shown in the figures.
  • an end plate 6 is arranged at the rear end 18 of the immersion body 4 facing end side of the storage container 2, wherein the opening 7 is closable with a lid.
  • the end plate 6 has a recess 8. Through this recess 8, a piston-cylinder arrangement 10 is guided so that a portion of this piston-cylinder arrangement 10 extends into the interior of the storage container 2.
  • the piston-cylinder assembly 10 consists of a cylinder 12 in which a piston 14 is movably guided.
  • the cylinder 12 and the piston 14 guided therein are arranged in the storage container 2 parallel to and spaced from the immersion body 4.
  • the cylinder 12 On its side facing the immersion body 4, the cylinder 12 has a longitudinal slot in a section arranged in the storage container 2, which preferably extends as far as its end face arranged in the storage container 2. In this longitudinal slot a arranged on the piston 14 driver 16 is guided, which engages positively on the plunger 4 in the region of its stern 18 in the ejection direction.
  • the end face of the storage container 2 opposite the end plate 6 forms an outlet opening 20 for ejecting the immersion body 4 from the storage container 2.
  • This outlet opening 20 is closed by a membrane 30.
  • a cylinder chamber 26 located behind the piston 14 in the ejection direction 40 of the immersion body 4 is preferably pressurized hydraulically. The thereby acting on a cylindrical chamber 26 delimiting end face 28 of the piston 14 acting pressure force moves the piston 14 with the motion-coupled thereto via the carrier 16 immersion body 4 in the direction 40 to the outlet port 20 back.
  • the orifice closure closing the outlet opening 20 is formed by the membrane 30 which is sealed within a frame 42 is firmly clamped.
  • the frame 42 consists of a flange-shaped component 44, which is provided with a plurality of recesses 46 in the flange region, which are provided for attachment of the flange-shaped component 44 at the front end of the storage container 2.
  • the frame 42 or the flange-like component 44 has a central recess 48, which corresponds approximately to the inner contour of the storage container 2 in this area and which is covered by the membrane 30.
  • the diaphragm 30 extends over the entire surface of the flange-shaped component 44 and is clamped with the inclusion of a seal 50 between the flange-shaped component 44 and the front end of the storage container 2, in particular from the partial sectional view according to FIG Fig. 2b is recognizable.
  • 46 head screws 52 are guided by the recesses, which engage in threaded inserts 54, which are incorporated in the corresponding recesses 46 in the end face of the storage container 2, which consists in this embodiment of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP).
  • GRP glass fiber reinforced plastic
  • Fig. 1 In the execution according to Fig. 1 is the end of the piston 14, seen in the ejection direction 40, arranged in front of the discharge end of the plunger 4, so that upon extension of the piston 14 of the plunger 4 reaches the membrane 30 and through the piston 14 and the driver 16 on the plunger 4 applied force in the ejection direction pierces the membrane 30 to open the storage container and to get out of the container into the surrounding water.
  • the membrane 30 is formed as a film and dimensioned so that the forces acting on the tip of the immersion body 4 during piercing forces are typically smaller than those which are subsequently exerted during ejection by the surrounding water during the acceleration process on the tip.
  • the piston 14 'lönger trained and according to the alternative illustrations Fig. 4 to 7 provided with a cutting tool 32 which pierces the membrane 30 during the ejection of the piston 14 'and thus releases the path of the subsequent immersion body 4 in the ejection direction.
  • the diaphragm 30 is destroyed to omit the immersion body 4.
  • the starter device shown in FIG. 2, which closes off the outlet opening 20 formed on the storage container 2, is likewise formed by a membrane 30 stretched over it (embodiment according to FIG Fig. 2a and 2b ), which completely closes the outlet opening 20.
  • a liquid protective agent which is preferably glycol, filled. This results in a pressure equilibrium on the membrane 30, regardless of the depth of the submarine.
  • the membrane 30 is destroyed for ejecting the immersion body 4.
  • at least one cutting tool 32 is arranged on the protruding from the cylinder 12 end of the piston 14 ', which cuts the membrane 30 when it touches it in the extension movement of the piston 14' cuts.
  • the Fig. 4 to 7 show exemplary possible arrangements and configurations of cutting tools 32 on the piston 14 ', So show the 4 and 5
  • the cutting tool 32 ' is arranged on the piston 14' such that a cutting edge 34 'points obliquely forward in the ejection direction of the piston 14'.
  • the cutting tool 32' forms a tip 36 ', with which the membrane 32 pierced and then with the cutting edge 34 'can be cut over a large length.
  • Fig. 6 shows an arrangement of two cutting tools 32 'on the piston 14'. In this case, the cutting edges 34 'in a cross-sectional plane of the piston 14' obliquely aligned with each other approximately V-shaped.
  • a cutting tool 32 is shown in the form of a triangular blade, in which a tip 36" in the ejection direction of the piston 14 'and a to the tip 36 "subsequent cutting edge 32" is aligned obliquely to this ejection direction of the piston 14'.
