Titel: Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Einbringen eines kαbelge- bundenen Schleppkörpers aus einem oder in ein Unterseeboot im getauchten Zustand  Title: Device for removing and introducing a tilted towed body from or into a submarine when submerged
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Einbringen eines kabelgebundenen Schleppkörpers aus einem oder in ein Unterseeboot im getauchten Zustand. Während des Einsatzes insbesondere militärischer Unterseeboote ist es oftmals erforderlich, zwischen dem Druckkörper und der Außenhaut des Unterseeboots gelagerte kabelgebundene Schleppkörper aus dem getauchten Unterseeboot auszubringen und anschließend wieder in das getauchte Unterseeboot einzuholen. Schleppkörper dieser Art sind beispielsweise Kommunikationsbojen, die aus dem Unterseeboot ausgebracht werden, an die Wasseroberfläche auftreiben und nach dem Einsatz wieder durch Einholen des Kabels, das die Kommunikationsboje mit dem Unterseeboot verbindet, in das Unterseeboot eingebracht werden. Eine solche Kommunikationsboje ist z. B. aus EP 1 270 400 Bl bekannt. Beim Einholen einer solchen Kommunikationsboje erweist es sich als problematisch, dass die Boje unterschiedlich ausgerichtet sein kann. The invention relates to a device for removing and introducing a wired towed body from or into a submarine in the submerged state. During use, in particular military submarines, it is often necessary to deploy between the pressure hull and the outer skin of the submarine mounted cable towed bodies from the submerged submarine and then catch up with the submerged submarine again. Tugboats of this type are, for example, communication buoys that are deployed from the submarine, driven up to the surface of the water and reinserted into the submarine after use by retrieving the cable connecting the communications buoy to the submarine. Such a communication buoy is z. B. from EP 1 270 400 Bl known. When obtaining such a communication buoy, it proves to be problematic that the buoy can be oriented differently.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der ein kabelgebundener Schleppkörper in sicherer und einfacher Weise aus einem getauchten Unterseeboot ausgebracht werden kann und anschließend wieder in das Unterseeboot eingeholt werden kann, wobei die Vorrichtung auch eine Ausrichtungsänderung des Schleppkör- pers in die in einer Lαgerungsposition des Schleppkörpers geforderte Ausrichtung bewirken soll. The object of the invention is to provide a device with which a wired towed body can be deployed in a safe and simple manner from a submerged submarine and subsequently retrieved into the submarine, wherein the device is also a change in alignment of Schleppkör- pers in the required in a Lögerungsposition the towed body to effect alignment.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dieser Vorrichtung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung. This object is achieved by a device having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of this device will become apparent from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Einbringen eines ka- beigebundenen Schleppkörpers aus einem oder in ein Unterseeboot im getauchten Zustand weist einen Schwenkarm auf, der von einer Lagerungsposition des Schleppkörpers in eine Aus- bzw. Einbringposition des Schleppkörpers schwenkbar ist. An dem Schwenkarm ist eine Einfangeinrichtung angeordnet. Diese Einfangeinrichtung dient dazu, den Schleppkörper nach dem Einholen an dem Schwenkarm zu fixieren. Des weiteren ist in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ein Auflager für den Schleppkörper vorgesehen, das in der Vorrichtung beabstandet von dem Schwenkarm derart bewegbar angeordnet ist, dass es zumindest in der Aus- bzw. Einbringposition des Schwenkarms an dem Schlepp- körper anliegt. The device according to the invention for removing and inserting a cata-tied towed body from or into a submarine in the submerged state has a swivel arm, which can be swiveled from a storage position of the towed body into a disengaging or insertion position of the towed body. On the swivel arm a catching device is arranged. This catching device serves to fix the towed body to the swivel arm after being picked up. Furthermore, a support for the towed body is provided in the device according to the invention, which is arranged so as to be movable in the device so that it rests against the towed body at least in the disengaging or insertion position of the swivel arm.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist nicht nur zum Aus- und Einbringen eines Schleppkörpers, sondern auch zu dessen Lagerung in dem Unterseeboot vorgesehen. Mittels des Schwenkarms der Vorrichtung kann ein daran in der Einfangvorrichtung fixierter Schleppkörper sicher und einfach von einer Lagerungsposition in eine Aus- bzw. Einbringposition und umgekehrt verschwenkt werden. Insbesondere beim Einbringen des Schleppkörpers dient das Auflager der Vorrichtung vorteilhaft zum Ausrichten des Schleppkörpers, indem dieser, sobald er von der an dem Schwenkarm angeordneten Einfangeinrichtung eingefangen worden ist, an dem Auflager zur Anlage kommt und dann in der Ausbzw. Einbringposition um das Auflager derart geschwenkt werden kann, dass er bereits in der Aus- bzw. Einbringposition seine in der Lagerungsposition erforderliche Ausrichtung aufweist. Aufgrund der bewegbaren Anordnung des Auflagers kann dieses während des Ausrichtens des Schleppkörpers auch innerhalb des Schwenkweges des Schwenkarms angeordnet sein, da es, nachdem der Schleppkörper an dem Auflager ausgerichtet worden ist, aus dem Bewegungsweg des Schwenkarms wegbewegt werden kann. The device according to the invention is not only provided for the removal and introduction of a towed body, but also for its storage in the submarine. By means of the swivel arm of the device, a towed body fixed thereto in the catching device can be safely and easily swiveled from a storage position into an off or infeed position and vice versa. In particular, when introducing the towed body, the support of the device advantageously serves to align the towed body by this, as soon as it has been captured by the arranged on the pivot arm trapping, comes to rest on the support and then in the Ausbzw. Insertion position can be pivoted about the support such that it already has its orientation required in the storage position in the removal or insertion position. Due to the movable arrangement of the support this can also be arranged during the alignment of the towed body within the pivoting of the pivot arm, since it can be moved away from the path of movement of the pivot arm after the towed body has been aligned with the support.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung derart aus- gebildet, dass die Stelle des Schleppkörpers, die an dem Auflager zur Anlage kommt, von dem Bereich des Schleppkörpers beabstandet ist, der von der an dem Schwenkarm angeordneten Einfangeinrichtung erfasst wird. Auf diese Weise kann über die Einfangeinrichtung ein solches Drehmoment auf den Schleppkörper ausgeübt werden, dass eine zum Ausrichten des Schleppkörpers geeignete Schwenkbewegung des Schleppkörpers um das vorrichtungsseitige Auflager erzeugt wird. Zum Einleiten einer das Drehmoment erzeugenden Kraft in den Schleppkörper ist der Schwenkarm mit der daran angeordneten Einfangeinrichtung in vorteilhafter Weise teleskopierbar ausgebildet, so dass der Schwenkarm, indem er eingefahren wird, den Schleppkörper in die in der Lagerungsposition geforderte Ausrichtung bewegt und umgekehrt den Schleppkörper durch sein Ausfahren in die zum Ausbringen erforderliche Lage ausrichtet. Um das Auflager so bewegen zu können, dass es in der Aus- bzw. Einbringposition des Schwenkarms an dem Schleppkörper anliegt, andererseits dem Schwenkarm und dem daran fixierten Schleppkörper bei deren gemeinsamer Schwenkbewegung nicht im Weg ist, kann das Auflager mittel- oder unmittelbar mit einem eigenen Antrieb wirkungs- verbunden sein. Allerdings erfordert dies einen erheblichen Steuerungsaufwand zur Synchronisation des Auflagerantriebs mit dem Antrieb des Schwenkarms. Daher ist es in der Regel zu bevorzugen, das Auflager mit dem Schwenkαrm bewegungszukoppeln, so dass nur ein Antrieb zum gleichzeitigen Bewegen des Schwenkarms und des Auflagers erforderlich ist. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung, bei der das Auflager mit dem Schwenkarm zwangsgeführt bewegungsgekoppelt ist. Bei entsprechender Getriebeauslegung kann das Auflager dann so bewe- gungsgefϋhrt sein, dass es einerseits bei einem in der Aus- bzw. Einbringposition befindlichen Schwenkarm an dem Schleppkörper zur An- läge kommt, sich andererseits beim Verschwenken des Schwenkarms in die Lagerungsposition außerhalb des Bewegungswegs von Schwenkarm und Schleppkörper bewegt. Hierzu kann das Auflager beispielsweise in einer dementsprechend ausgebildeten Kurvenbahn zwangsgeführt sein. Bevorzugt ist allerdings vorgesehen, dass der Schwenkarm einen Teil eines Koppelgetriebes bildet, wobei das Auflager an einem Schwenkhebel angeordnet ist, der mit dem Schwenkarm über eine Koppel verbunden ist. Hierbei ist eine Ausgestaltung vorteilhaft, bei der der Schwenkarm und der Schwenkhebel mit dem daran angeordneten Auflager gemeinsam aber voneinander beabstandet an einer Trag- struktur angelenkt sind, wobei der Schwenkarm und der Schwenkhebel beabstandet von deren Anlenkungsstellen an der Tragstruktur mit einer an dem Schwenkarm und dem Schwenkhebel angelenkten Koppel miteinander verbunden sind. Das Einbringen eines kabelgebundenen Schleppkörpers erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise durch Einholen des Kabels mittels einer Winde, wobei die Einfangeinrichtung vorteilhaft den Bereich des Schleppkörpers erfasst, an dem das Kabel an dem Schleppkörper angebunden ist. Die Ein- fangvorrichtung ist bevorzugt an dem freien Ende eines teleskopierba- ren Teils des Schwenkarms angeordnet. Vorteilhaft ist dieser telesko- pierbare Teil des Schwenkarms von einem in dem Schwenkarm federvorgespannt gelagerten Kabelführungsrohr gebildet. So kann sich der teleskopierbαre Teil des Schwenkαrms z. B. über eine Druckfeder an einem nichtteleskopierbaren Teil des Schwenkarms abstützen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung wird der teleskopierbare Teil des Schwenkarms durch die Federkraft der Druckfeder in seine ausgefahrene Stellung drückt. An- statt den teleskopierbaren Teil des Schwenkarms mittels Federkraft auszufahren, bestehen auch alternative Möglichkeiten, diesen Teil des Schwenkarms teleskopierbar zu gestalten. So kann es beispielsweise auch zweckmäßig sein, den teleskopierbaren Teil des Schwenkarms mit einer dort angreifenden Hebelanordnung auszufahren. Wird bei dieser Ausgestaltung beim Einbringen des Schleppkörpers das den Schleppkörper mit dem Unterseeboot verbindende Kabel eingeholt, wird der teleskopierbare Teil des Schwenkarms, d. h., das Kabelführungsrohr, durch das weitere Einholen des Kabels gegen die Federkraft der Druckfeder eingefahren. Die hierdurch verursachte Längenänderung des Schwenksarms bewirkt vorteilhaft, dass der Schleppkörper um das Auflager der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in die in der Lagerungsposition geforderte Lage verschwenkt wird. The device according to the invention is expediently designed in such a way that the point of the towed body which comes to rest on the support is spaced from the region of the towed body which is gripped by the catching device arranged on the pivoting arm. In this way, such a torque can be exerted on the towed body via the capturing device such that a pivoting movement of the towed body suitable for aligning the towed body is generated around the fixture-side support. To initiate a torque-generating force in the towed body of the swivel arm with the catching device arranged thereon is advantageously telescopic, so that the swivel arm, by being retracted, moves the towed body in the required orientation in the storage position and vice versa be the towed body Align extension into the position required for deployment. In order to move the support so that it rests in the off or insertion position of the pivot arm on the towed body, on the other hand, the swivel arm and the fixed thereto towed body in their joint pivoting motion is not in the way, the support can medium or directly with a own drive be effective connected. However, this requires a considerable control effort for the synchronization of the support drive with the drive of the swivel arm. Therefore, it is usually preferable to use the support motion coupled to the Schwenkαrm, so that only a drive for simultaneously moving the pivot arm and the support is required. Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the support is forcibly coupled in motion with the pivot arm. If the transmission design is appropriate, the support can then be so moved that, on the one hand, it comes into contact with the towed body when the swivel arm is in the disengagement or insertion position, and, on the other hand, when the swivel arm is pivoted into the storage position outside the movement path of the swivel arm and towed body moves. For this purpose, the support can be forcibly guided, for example, in a correspondingly formed curved path. Preferably, however, it is provided that the pivot arm forms part of a linkage, wherein the support is arranged on a pivot lever which is connected to the pivot arm via a coupling. Here, an embodiment is advantageous in which the swivel arm and the pivot lever together with the support arranged thereon but spaced from each other are hinged to a support structure, wherein the swivel arm and the pivot lever spaced from their articulation points on the support structure with a on the pivot arm and the Swing lever hinged coupling are interconnected. The introduction of a wired towed body is expediently carried out by picking up the cable by means of a winch, wherein the catching device advantageously detects the area of the towed body to which the cable is connected to the towed body. The catching device is preferably arranged at the free end of a telescopic part of the swivel arm. Advantageously, this telescopic part of the swivel arm is formed by a cable guide tube spring-loaded in the swivel arm. So can the Teleskopierbαre part of Schwenkαrms z. B. supported by a compression spring on a nichtteleskopierbaren part of the swing arm. In this embodiment, the telescopic part of the pivot arm is pressed by the spring force of the compression spring in its extended position. Instead of extend the telescoping part of the pivot arm by means of spring force, there are also alternative ways to make this part of the swing arm telescopic. Thus, for example, it may also be expedient to extend the telescopic part of the swivel arm with a lever arrangement acting there. If the cable connecting the towed body with the submarine cable is obtained in this embodiment during the introduction of the towed body, the telescopic part of the swivel arm, ie, the cable guide tube, retracted by the further recovery of the cable against the spring force of the compression spring. The change in length caused by the swing arm causes advantageous that the towed body is pivoted about the support of the device according to the invention in the position required in the storage position.
Zum Verschwenken des Schwenkarms kann dieser wahlweise mit einem Drehantrieb oder einem Linearantrieb wirkungsverbunden sein. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, den Schwenkarm mit einem Teleskopzylinder zu koppeln. Hierbei ist der Teleskopzylinder typischerweise schwenkbar an der Tragstruktur der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung angelenkt. Der Schwenkarm kann als ein zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet sein, wobei der Teleskopzylinder an einem von der Einfangeinrichtung abgewandten Lastarm des Schwenkarms angreift. For pivoting the swivel arm, this can optionally be operatively connected to a rotary drive or a linear drive. It is preferably provided to couple the swivel arm with a telescopic cylinder. Here, the telescopic cylinder is typically pivotally hinged to the support structure of the device according to the invention. The swivel arm can be designed as a two-armed lever, wherein the telescopic cylinder acts on a side facing away from the catching load arm of the swivel arm.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann an einem äußeren Ende des Kabelführungsrohrs eine vorzugsweise trichterförmig ausgebildete Aufnahme für ein schleppkör- perseitiges Formschlusselement ausgebildet sein. Diese Aufnahme bildet zusammen mit dem Kabelführungsrohr die Einfangeinrichtung der Vorrichtung. Um dem Formschlusselement des Schleppkörpers in der Aufnahme einen möglichst bewegungslosen Halt zu geben, weist die Aufnahme vorteilhaft eine mit der Außenumfangskontur des Formschlusselements korrespondierende Innenkontur auf. In a further advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention, a preferably funnel-shaped receptacle for a trailing body-side form-fitting element may be formed at an outer end of the cable guide tube. This recording forms together with the cable guide tube the trapping of the Contraption. In order to give the form-fitting element of the towed body in the receptacle as motionless as possible a hold, the receptacle advantageously has a corresponding to the outer peripheral contour of the form-locking element inner contour.
Des Weiteren kann die Aufnahme zweckmäßigerweise derart gestaltet sein, dass das Formschlusselement des eingeholten Schleppkörpers in ihr fixierbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen, mit denen das an dem Schleppkörper ausgebildete Formschlusselement verriegelbar ist. So kann die Aufnahme beispielsweise eine Sperrklinke aufweisen, die in eine an dem schleppkörperseitigen Formschlusselement ausgebildete Nut eingreift. Daneben besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Teil des Schwenkarms, an dem die Aufnahme an- geordnet ist, um seine Längsachse drehbar auszubilden und an der Aufnahme zumindest eine bajonettverschlussartige Nut auszubilden, in die ein an dem Formschlusselement des Schleppkörpers ausgebildeter Verriegelungsstift eingreift. Um das Aus- und Einbringen eines Schleppkörpers möglichst behinderungsfrei durchführen zu können, ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung bevorzugt im Turm des Unterseeboots angeordnet. So kann die Vorrichtung z. B. in einem dem Heck des Unterseeboots zugewandten Bereich des Turms feststehend installiert sein. Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung als Teil eines Ausfahrgeräts ausgebildet ist. Dementsprechend kann die Vorrichtung zum Ausbringen eines Schleppkörpers an dem ausfahrbaren Mast eines solchen Ausfahrgeräts angeordnet sein und mit diesem Mast zumindest so weit aus dem Turm ausgefahren werden, dass der Schleppkörper ungehindert aufschwim- men kann. In umgekehrter Weise kann die Vorrichtung nach dem Einsatz des Schleppkörpers durch Einfahren des Mastes wieder in den Turm verbracht werden. Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt: Fig. 1 schematisch vereinfacht eine Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Furthermore, the receptacle may expediently be designed such that the positive-locking element of the towed body obtained can be fixed in it. For this purpose locking means are provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention, with which the formed on the towed body form-fitting element can be locked. For example, the receptacle may have a pawl which engages in a groove formed on the tow body-side positive-locking element. In addition, it is also possible to form the part of the swivel arm to which the receptacle is arranged to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis and to form on the receptacle at least one bayonet-like groove into which a locking pin formed on the interlocking element of the towed body engages. In order to carry out the removal and introduction of a towed body as possible without hindrance, the device according to the invention is preferably arranged in the tower of the submarine. Thus, the device z. B. be installed in a fixed to the rear of the submarine area of the tower. It is also advantageous if the device according to the invention is designed as part of an extension device. Accordingly, the device for discharging a towed body can be arranged on the extendable mast of such an extension device and be extended with this mast at least far enough out of the tower so that the towed body can float up unhindered. In the reverse manner, the device can be returned to the tower after insertion of the towed body by retracting the mast. The invention is explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. In the drawing: Fig. 1 schematically simplified, a device for off and

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Einbringen eines Schleppkörpers 2 ist Teil eines in einem Turm eines Unterseeboots angeordneten Ausfahrgeräts und an einem ausfahrbaren Mast 4 dieses Ausfahrgeräts angeordnet. Das Aus- und Einbringen des Schleppkörpers 2, bei dem es sich um eine an die Wasseroberfläche aufschwimmende Kommunikationsboje handelt, erfolgt durch Freigeben bzw. Einholen eines an dem Schleppkörper 2 angebundenen Führungskabels, das in der Zeichnung aus Übersichtlichkeitsgründen nicht dargestellt ist. Das Führungskabel ist an dem Schleppkörper 2 an einem Formschlusselement 6 befestigt, das an einem an dem Schleppkörper 2 ausgebildeten Kielschwert schwenkbar angeordnet ist. The device shown in the drawing for removing and introducing a towed body 2 is part of a arranged in a tower of a submarine Ausfahrgeräts and arranged on an extendable mast 4 of this Ausfahrgeräts. The removal and introduction of the towed body 2, which is a communication buoy floating on the water surface, takes place by releasing or retrieving a guide cable connected to the towed body 2, which is not shown in the drawing for reasons of clarity. The guide cable is attached to the towed body 2 on a form-locking element 6 which is pivotally mounted on a formed on the towed body 2 keel sword.
An dem Mast 4 ist ein Schwenkarm 8 schwenkbar angelenkt. Der Schwenkarm 8 ist als ein zweiarmiger Hebel mit einem ersten Lastarm 10 und einem zweiten Lastarm 12 ausgebildet, wobei die Lastarme 10 und 12 zueinander abgewinkelt ausgerichtet und starr verbunden sind. Zum Verschwenken des Schwenkarms 8 ist ein an dem Mast 4 gelenkig gelagerter Teleskopzylinder 14 vorgesehen. Der Teleskopzylinder 14 ist an dem von dem Lastarm 10 abgewandten Ende des Lastarms 12 angelenkt. Der Lαstαrm 10 des Schwenkαrms 8 trägt eine Einfangeinrichtung zum Einfangen des Schwenkkörpers 2. Diese Einfangeinrichtung weist ein Kabelführungsrohr 16 auf, das in dem Lastarm 10 mit einer aus der Zeichnung nicht ersichtlichen Druckfeder vorgespannt gelagert ist. Die Druckfeder ist derart angeordnet, dass sie das Kabelführungsrohr 16 von einer in Fig. 2 dargestellten Position in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Position aus dem Lastarm 10 teleskopartig ausfährt. Bei einer der Federkraft entgegenwirkenden Kraft auf das Kabelführungsrohr 16 wird dieses umgekehrt in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Position eingefahren. Durch das Kabel- führungsrohr 16 ist das mit dem Schleppkörper 2 verbundene und an dem Formschlusselement 6 endende Führungskabel geführt. An dem aus dem Lastarm 10 teleskopierbaren Ende des Kabelführungsrohrs 16 ist eine Aufnahme 18 für das an dem Schleppkörper 2 angeordnete Formschlusselement 6 ausgebildet. Die Aufnahme 18 ist korrespondie- rend zu einer konischen Form des Formschlusselements 6 trichterförmig ausgebildet. On the mast 4, a pivot arm 8 is pivotally articulated. The pivot arm 8 is formed as a two-armed lever with a first load arm 10 and a second load arm 12, wherein the load arms 10 and 12 are aligned angled and rigidly connected to each other. For pivoting the swivel arm 8, a telescopically supported on the mast 4 telescopic cylinder 14 is provided. The telescopic cylinder 14 is articulated on the end of the load arm 12 facing away from the load arm 10. The Lαstαrm 10 of Schwenkαrms 8 carries a trapping device for capturing the pivot body 2. This trapping device has a cable guide tube 16 which is mounted biased in the load arm 10 with a not apparent from the drawing spring. The compression spring is arranged such that it telescopically extends the cable guide tube 16 from a position shown in Fig. 2 in the position shown in Fig. 1 from the load arm 10. In one of the spring force counteracting force on the cable guide tube 16, this is reversed retracted to the position shown in Fig. 2. Through the cable guide tube 16 which is connected to the towed body 2 and ending in the form-locking element 6 guide cable out. At the end of the cable guide tube 16 that can be telescoped out of the load arm 10, a receptacle 18 for the positive-locking element 6 arranged on the towed body 2 is formed. The receptacle 18 is corresponding to a conical shape of the positive-locking element 6 funnel-shaped.
Neben dem Schwenkarm 8 ist an dem Mast 4 auch ein Schwenkhebel 20 schwenkbar angelenkt, wobei der Schwenkarm 8 und der Schwenk- hebel 20 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene verschwenkbar sind, die An- lenkpunkte von Schwenkarm 8 und Schwenkhebel 20 an dem Mast 4 aber voneinander beabstandet sind. An dem von dem Anlenkpunkt an dem Mast abgewandten Ende des Schwenkhebels 20 ist eine Aufnahme 22 angeordnet, die zur Anlage an den Schwenkkörper 2 bestimmt ist, worauf nachfolgend noch detaillierter eingegangen wird. Die Aufnahme 22 wird von einer Rolle gebildet, die in der Ebene, in der der Schwenkhebel 20 verschwenkt wird, drehbar ist. In addition to the pivot arm 8, a pivoting lever 20 is pivotably articulated to the mast 4, wherein the pivot arm 8 and the pivot lever 20 are pivotable in a common plane, but the pivot points of pivot arm 8 and pivot lever 20 on the mast 4 but spaced from each other are. At the end remote from the pivot point on the mast end of the pivot lever 20, a receptacle 22 is arranged, which is intended to bear against the swivel body 2, which will be discussed in more detail below. The receptacle 22 is formed by a roller which is rotatable in the plane in which the pivot lever 20 is pivoted.
Der Schwenkhebel 20 ist nicht frei beweglich schwenkbar, sondern mit dem Schwenkarm 8 zwangsbeweglich bewegungsgekoppelt. Für diesen Zweck ist der Schwenkhebel 20 mit dem Schwenkarm 8 über eine stangenförmige Koppel 24 verbunden, die an den verschwenkbaren Enden von Schwenkhebel 20 und Schwenkαrm 8 schwenkbar angelenkt ist. The pivot lever 20 is not freely movable pivotally, but forcibly coupled movement with the swing arm 8. For this purpose, the pivot lever 20 is connected to the pivot arm 8 via a rod-shaped coupling 24 which is pivotable to the Ends of pivot lever 20 and Schwenkαrm 8 is pivotally articulated.
Die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung zum Aus- und Einbringen eines Schleppkörpers aus einem Unterseeboot ist wie folgt: The operation of the device for extracting and introducing a towed body from a submarine is as follows:
Zum Einbringen des Schleppkörpers 2 wird das Führungskabel des Schleppkörpers solange eingeholt, bis das an dem Schleppkörper 2 angeordnete Formschlusselement 6 in die an dem Kabelführungsrohr 16 angeordnete Aufnahme 18 eingreift. Der Schleppkörper 2 kontaktiert dann das an dem Schwenkhebel 20 angeordnete Auflager 22. Diese Situation ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt. For introducing the towed body 2, the guide cable of the towed body is caught until the arranged on the towed body 2 form-fitting element 6 engages in the arranged on the cable guide tube 16 receptacle 18. The towed body 2 then contacts the support 22 arranged on the pivoting lever 20. This situation is illustrated in FIG.
Durch weiteres Einholen des Führungskabels des Schleppkörpers 2 wird das zunächst aus dem Lastarm 10 des Schwenkarms 4 ausgefahrene Kabelführungsrohr 16 gegen die Federkraft der Druckfeder, an der es sich in dem Lastarm 10 abstützt, in den Lastarm 10 eingefahren. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der Schleppkörper 2 um das Auflager 22 in Fig. 1 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird, bis er die in Fig. 2 in der Lagerungs- Position dargestellte Ausrichtung aufweist. Die Schwenkbewegung des Schleppkörpers 2 um das Auflager 22 wird dadurch erleichtert, dass das Auflager 22 durch eine Rolle gebildet ist, auf der der Schleppkörper während seines Verschwenkens abrollen kann. Anschließend wird der Teleskopzylinder 14 ausgefahren, wodurch der Schwenkarm 8 und der damit gekoppelte Schwenkhebel 20 in Fig. 1 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden bis der Schleppkörper 2 seine in Fig. 2 dargestellte Lagerungsposition erreicht hat. Hierbei verhindert die ü- ber die Koppel 24 zwangsgeführte Bewegungskopplung des Schwenk- hebeis 20 mit dem Schwenkarm 8, dass das an dem schwenkbaren Ende des Schwenkhebels 20 angeordnete Auflager 22 die Bewegung des Schleppkörpers 2 in die Lagerungsposition behindert. Zum Ausbringen des Schleppkörpers 2 wir in umgekehrter Reihenfolge vorgegangen. Um den Schleppkörper 2 von der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Lagerungsposition in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Aus- bzw. Einbringposition zu bewegen, wird der Teleskopzylinder 14 zunächst eingefahren. Hierdurch werden der Schwenkarm 8 und der Schwenkhebel 20 in den Zeichnungsfiguren im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, bis sie die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ausrichtung haben. Darauffolgend wird das Führungskabel des Schleppkörpers 2 langsam freigegeben, wodurch der Schlepp- körper 2 beginnt, aufzuschwimmen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich die Druckfeder, auf der sich das Kabelführungsrohr 16 in dem Lastarm 10 des Schwenkarms 8 abstützt, entspannt und so das Kabelführungsrohr 16 wieder aus dem Lastarm 10 in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Position ausfährt. By further recovering the guide cable of the towed body 2, the cable guide tube 16, which has first been extended from the load arm 10 of the swivel arm 4, is retracted into the load arm 10 against the spring force of the compression spring on which it is supported in the load arm 10. This has the consequence that the towed body 2 is pivoted about the support 22 in Fig. 1 in the counterclockwise direction until it has the orientation shown in Fig. 2 in the storage position. The pivotal movement of the towed body 2 about the support 22 is facilitated by the fact that the support 22 is formed by a roller on which the towed body can roll during its pivoting. Subsequently, the telescopic cylinder 14 is extended, whereby the pivot arm 8 and the coupled thereto pivot lever 20 are pivoted in Fig. 1 in a clockwise direction until the towed body 2 has reached its storage position shown in FIG. In this case, the forcibly guided movement coupling of the pivoting lever 20 with the pivoting arm 8, which is positively controlled via the coupling 24, prevents the support 22 arranged on the pivotable end of the pivoting lever 20 from hindering the movement of the towed body 2 into the storage position. To dispose of the towed body 2 we proceeded in reverse order. In order to move the towed body 2 from the storage position shown in FIG. 2 into the removal or insertion position shown in FIG. 1, the telescopic cylinder 14 is initially retracted. As a result, the pivot arm 8 and the pivot lever 20 are pivoted in the drawing figures in the counterclockwise direction until they have the orientation shown in Fig. 1. Subsequently, the guide cable of the towed body 2 is released slowly, causing the tow body 2 begins to swim. This has the consequence that the compression spring on which the cable guide tube 16 is supported in the load arm 10 of the pivot arm 8, relaxed and so the cable guide tube 16 extends again from the load arm 10 in the position shown in Fig. 1.
