Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drive for a work machine in underwater use with a power transmission device with an output shaft and a buoyancy body as an energy source.
- All layers of the sea from surface to deep into the sediments on the seabed are the subject of measurements, sampling and experiments of all kinds. This includes measuring devices for recording physical, biological and chemical parameters, samplers for taking material for laboratory tests and experiments to investigate the effects targeted influencing of the environment. Energy is required to operate these devices.
- the main energy consumers are drives of all kinds, e.g. for filling and closing sample vessels, for moving robotic arms, for moving on the sea floor and for penetrating the test material.
- energy is required for the operation of light sources for the use of imaging processes, sensors, data processing, signal processing, etc.
- the Archimedean principle of buoyancy states that a body is immersed in the water until the weight of the displaced water corresponds to the total weight of the immersed body. A body with a specific weight greater than water will perish. A floatable body pressed under water will counteract the downward force as the buoyancy force between the weight of the water displaced during swimming and the weight of the water displaced when fully submerged. The buoyancy force is calculated from the volume of the buoyancy body multiplied by the specific weight of water minus the dead weight of the buoyancy body. As long as the result is positive, there is an upward force. If the result is zero, the body floats weakly in every water depth. If the result is negative, the body sinks. These considerations neglect the fact that water is compressible to a small extent and is compressed by approx. 0.45% per 1000 m depth
- buoyancy drives with buoyancy bodies, or buoyancy drives for short work with little loss, since they only cause frictional resistance and no energetic conversions have overcome.
- Such buoyancy drives can exist in all such media combinations that have a sufficient difference in specific weights and that allow the necessary movement.
- the media combination can therefore be two gases, a liquid and a gas or vacuum, two liquids or a liquid and a solid. Solid plastics or possibly expensive syntactic foams can be used.
- Buoyancy bodies made of composite materials are also conceivable. Naturally, the combination of a liquid and a gas or vacuum achieves the highest buoyancy.
- buoyancy drives with water as a liquid and air as a gaseous medium are of the greatest importance. The way the buoyancy drive works reverses the weight drive, e.g. an old grandfather clock.
- the patent specification GB 2 190 965 A (compressed air or gas powered buoyancy machine) describes a continuously operating buoyancy drive.
- Floating bodies that are open on one side are attached to a belt running over two rollers.
- the buoyancy drive is in a water tank and one of the rollers is equipped with an output shaft.
- the belt that runs over the rollers and the output shaft represent the power transmission device.
- the upward open buoyancy bodies are filled with compressed air from a line protruding into the water tank as they pass through bottom dead center, and drive the belt until they reach top dead center turn its open end up, lose air, and go empty down.
- the whole buoyancy drive is based on the constant supply of air, e.g. presses from a tank under low pressure through the line under the buoyancy body. The machine only works economically if the air e.g. is available as a waste product from another process.
- Up and down belts and the coupling elements form the power transmission device. At least one of the axes of the rollers carrying the revolving belts is the output shaft.
- the buoyancy work is done by coupling the belts from the buoyancy belt to the driven belt, to the mechanisms for translating the buoyancy bodies from the buoyancy belt to the driven belt and to moving the buoyancy bodies from the driven belt to divided the diving chamber and for opening and closing the valves of the diving chamber.
- the buoyancy work is done by coupling the belts from the buoyancy belt to the driven belt, to the mechanisms for translating the buoyancy bodies from the buoyancy belt to the driven belt and to moving the buoyancy bodies from the driven belt to divided the diving chamber and for opening and closing the valves of the diving chamber.
- buoyancy drives presented in the literature always work continuously and are dependent on a constant external energy supply. They have open and therefore compressible buoyancy bodies. They can therefore only work in shallow water and are not suitable for scientific use on the seabed, especially at greater or greater depths. It is therefore the object of the present invention to develop the drive described at the outset for a work machine in underwater use with a power transmission device with an output shaft and a buoyancy body as an energy source in such a way that a discontinuously operating drive is produced, each with an amount of energy required for a defined work under water unique can be loaded.
- the drive should be suitable for everyone, but especially for greater water depths, simple to set up, safe and reliable in operation and easy to handle.
- the power transmission device consists of a cable pulley firmly connected to the output shaft, a cable that can be unwound from the cable pulley, force-coupling elements non-positively connected to the output shaft, and one when the drive is lowered on a support cable in Water-engaging, controlled releasable latching of the rope pulley and the buoyancy body by a closed, incompressible, with a coiled rope and a latched rope pulley with a body which is chargeable by buoyancy, depth of dive and unwindable rope length certain body with an arrangement at the free rope end, the working machine and / or the drive has a weight that more than compensates for the buoyancy.
- a reliably working discontinuous drive is made available which automatically absorbs energy into an energy store in the form of a buoyancy body during the lowering into its working depth and then releases it again in a controlled manner during work. Then the energy storage must be recharged by bringing the drive back to the water surface and winding the rope.
- the drive has a high degree of efficiency because it is without
- the buoyancy body which in the invention is designed as a non-compressible body, generates in the water depth a buoyancy force which is dependent on its size and which, via a rope and placed a pulley on an output shaft and provided with mechanical control means, can perform a whole range of tasks.
- the drive according to the invention is charged with potential energy by fastening the buoyancy body to the free end of the rope which is long on the pulley and corresponding to the intended diving depth of the drive, and by lowering it onto the water bed.
- the entire working machine due to its basic weight, which is required anyway for safe positioning on the bottom of the body of water, with additional ballast, is sufficiently heavy to overcome the lifting force when lowering. Immediately at the start of the lowering, the buoyancy body releases its driving buoyancy.
- a device which prevents the buoyancy body from unwinding the rope prematurely during the lowering and which only releases the buoyancy body when it reaches the position on the seabed.
- a latch is suitable for this purpose, which reliably secures the rope pulley during the process of lowering the working machine.
- the drive according to the invention is activated by a controlled release of the rope pulley and contributes to carrying out correspondingly planned and constructed experiments.
- the external shape of the buoyancy body is fundamentally not relevant, but it is an advantageous further development of the drive according to the invention if the buoyancy body is formed by at least one commercially available buoyancy ball.
- Such buoyancy balls are tested for pressure resistance for the required immersion depth of the drive, have an outer protective cover against damage during handling on board and have coupling points for the rope. They are also commercially available in various sizes and are relatively inexpensive.
- the drive energy that can be implemented depends on the total volume of the buoyancy body, its own weight, the developable cable route from the bottom up to the surface of the water and the cable weight.
- the buoyancy body can also be formed from several individual bodies arranged in any arrangement on the rope.
- the rope consists of a largely buoyancy-neutral material
- the rope weight is only slightly influenced by the resulting buoyancy force and causes hardly any loss of drive energy.
- an aramid rope can be used here, for example, which has a particularly favorable ratio of resilience to its own weight under water.
- the force coupling elements are designed as a gearwheel, V-belt pulley, eccentric pulley, cam disk, cam disk or worm wheel.
- the aforementioned selection of force coupling elements can be connected to the output shaft in a form-fitting manner via generally customary connections such as feather keys, flanges, molded pinions, etc. or by means of pressing or gluing.
- the specified design options are only examples of any structural combinations of mechanical elements that take into account the requirements of the respective experiment and the conditions under water. In principle, any mechanical task can be mastered, the embodiments are only limited in terms of effort.
- the output shaft equipped with permanent magnets, the rotor and a bearing of the output shaft equipped with coils can form the stator of an electrical generator.
- the electrical energy that can be generated by the drive according to the invention of up to a few 100 W can be used by consumers are available that cannot work with mechanical energy, for example devices for data processing and transmission, sensor supply, lighting and image recording devices and / or the control of actuators for mechanical energy distribution.
- the latch which holds the force transmission device and the associated buoyant body when lowering, is formed by a locking pawl which engages in a ratchet wheel fixed on the output shaft, the latching by a when the drive is placed on a body of water actuated unlocking device is automatically released and that the unlocking device has a delay device operated by a clock spring to release the latch.
- the latching serves to prevent the rope from unwinding prematurely with the buoyancy device when the machine is lowered onto the water bed. It is therefore necessary to have an unlocking device which functions reliably, for example by being placed on the water bed, and which releases the latching.
- a mechanical delay device which runs like a clockwork and is spring-actuated, can advantageously be introduced between the unlocking device and the latching device in such a way that the unlocking device triggers the mechanism of the delaying device and, after its expiration, the latching device is released.
- the unlocking device can also be triggered by a simple electronic device control with minimal electrical energy equipment.
- the brake device can be designed, for example, in a controllable version as a modified drum brake with brake shoes acting directly on the output shaft, as a disc brake with a brake disc firmly mounted on the output shaft and brake shoes acting on this or as an eddy current brake utilizing the generator.
- Brake devices that cannot be further controlled, for example impellers that use the water resistance and are arranged on the output shaft or on the pulley, can also be used.
- a further unlocking device which can be controlled by the force coupling elements or by an electronic control device, is disposed on the power transmission device.
- the entire working machine can be brought back to the water surface for various reasons. Then it makes sense to use the float to catch up.
- another unlocking device can be triggered, the neutral ballast from the Machine releases and ensures that the buoyancy outweighs the weight of the machine.
- the latch engages again and prevents the rope from unrolling further from the rope pulley, provided there is still rope supply.
- the buoyancy body has reached the surface of the water, the drive machine and thus the experiment with the data obtained can be recovered from the rope of the buoyancy drive.

- a ratchet wheel 22 On the output shaft 6, a ratchet wheel 22 is fixed, in which a locking pawl 23 engages and thus prevents the pulley 7 from running off.
- the locking pawl 23 is supported via an axis of rotation 24 and an unlocking lever 25 on a fixed block 26 and is pressed by a return spring 27.
- the Unlocking lever 25 sits on a further axis of rotation 28 and is in turn pressed against the block 26 by a further return spring 29.
