Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung von Ballast-Wassertanks auf Lastrahmen von LTA-Luftfahrzeugen, insbesondere von Lastenballonen.The invention relates to an arrangement of ballast water tanks on load frames of LTA aircraft, in particular of cargo balloons.
Bei leichter als Luft-Fahrzeugen, auch LTA-Luftfahrzeuge genannt, muss die Auftriebskraft ständig etwa im Gleichgewicht mit dem Gewicht des Luftfahrzeuges gehalten werden. Da sich das Gewicht aus dem Eigengewicht des Luftfahrzeuges und der Last bzw. Zuladung zusammen setzt, muss beim Lastaufnehmen oder -absetzen in entsprechender Menge Ballast abgegeben oder aufgenommen werden. Als Ballast eignet sich Wasser sehr gut.With lighter than air vehicles, Also known as LTA aircraft, the buoyancy must constantly be around be kept in balance with the weight of the aircraft. Because the weight of the weight of the aircraft and the Load or load must be put together when lifting or - Discontinue ballast in an appropriate amount become. Water is very suitable as ballast.
LTA-Luftfahrzeuge, die Lasten transportieren, weisen im allgemeinen einen Lastrahmen auf, der Ballast-Wassertanks enthält.LTA aircraft that carry loads generally have a load frame, the ballast water tanks contains.
Beim bekannten Lastenballon CL 75 der Anmelderin enthält der Lastrahmen an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten je zwei Ballast-Wassertanks aus einem Verbundwerkstoff. Die Leitungen bestehen aus einem Kunststoff und die Verbindungen sind geklebt. Die Ballasttanks sind gleich groß und symmetrisch zum Masseschwerpunkt angeordnet. Jeder Wassertank enthält eine Anschlusskupplung zur Befüllung/Entleerung und ist mittels Schieber einzeln absperrbar. Das Befüllen/Entleeren ist bei dieser Anordnung sehr aufwändig. Die Füll-Wasserschläuche müssen häufig umgelegt und neu angeschlossen werden. Es muss auch sichergestellt werden, dass alle Tanks mit der gleichen Wassermenge gefüllt sind.In the well-known CL 75 cargo balloon the applicant contains the load frame on two opposite Two ballast water tanks made of a composite material on each side. The Lines are made of a plastic and the connections are glued. The ballast tanks are the same size and symmetrical to the center of gravity arranged. Each water tank contains a connection coupling Filling / emptying and can be locked individually using a slide. Filling / emptying is very complex with this arrangement. The filling water hoses often have to be moved and be connected again. It must also be ensured that all tanks are filled with the same amount of water.
Von daher liegt der Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, eine Anordnung von Ballast-Wassertanks auf Lastrahmen von LTA-Luftfahrzeugen zu finden, die ein einfaches und Zeit sparendes Befüllen/Entleeren der Wassertanks sowie eine Trimmung des Fahrzeugs ermöglichen.Therefore, the invention is the Problem based on an arrangement of ballast water tanks on load frames of LTA aircraft to find a simple and time-saving Fill / drain the water tanks and trim the vehicle.
Das Problem wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale der Anspruches 1. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.According to the invention, the problem is solved by the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention in the dependent claims described.
Die Anordnung von Ballast-Wassertanks auf Lastrahmen von LTA-Luftfahrzeugen, insbesondere von Lastenballonen, die mehrere, gleich große, symmetrisch angeordnete Tanks umfasst, wird erfindungsgemäß so ausgeführt, dass alle Ballasttanks über Hauptleitungen und mit diesen in Verbindung stehende Anschlussleitungen sowie Anschlusskupplungen verbunden und mittels Hauptabsperrschieber einzeln absperrbar sind. Alle Ballasttanks stehen zusätzlich über einzeln absperrbare Trimmleitungen mit einer Wasserpumpe und mit einer Hauptleitung in Verbindung.The arrangement of ballast water tanks on load frames of LTA aircraft, especially of cargo balloons that have several, equally large, symmetrical arranged tanks, is carried out according to the invention such that all ballast tanks via main lines and connecting lines and connecting couplings connected to them connected and individually lockable by means of a main gate valve. All ballast tanks are also above individually lockable trim lines with a water pump and with a main line in connection.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind symmetrisch zwischen den Ballasttanks einzeln befüllbare und absperrbare Trimmtanks auf dem Lastrahmen angeordnet.In an embodiment of the invention individually fillable and symmetrical between the ballast tanks lockable trim tanks arranged on the load frame.
Es ist zweckmäßig, dass der Durchmesser der Haupt- und Anschlussleitungen wesentlich größer als der der Trimmleitungen ist.It is appropriate that the diameter of the Main and connecting cables are much larger than those of the trim cables is.
Nach der Erfindung sind die Absperrschieber und die Wasserpumpe steuerbar. In besonderer Ausgestaltung sind die Absperrschieber und die Wasserpumpe funkfernsteuerbar zur einfacheren Handhabung durch die Besatzung oder Beladecrew.According to the invention, the gate valve and the water pump controllable. In a special embodiment, the Gate valve and the water pump can be remote controlled for easier Handling by the crew or loading crew.
Erfindungsgemäß können die Haupt- und Anschlussleitungen so ausgeführt werden, dass sie als Versteifungen in die Statik des Lastrahmens integriert sind.According to the main and connecting lines so executed that they are used as stiffeners in the statics of the load frame are integrated.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert unter Einbeziehung einer einzigen Zeichnung mit einer Blockdarstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung.The invention will follow an embodiment explained in more detail under Inclusion of a single drawing with a block diagram an arrangement according to the invention.
Im Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Erfindung an
