Definitions

  • the invention has for its object to increase the safety of a carrier platform and at the same time to expand the benefits with cost-effective means.
  • Tender The aboard a dinghy or water jet, called Tender for short, is not easy on the open sea or even with choppy water, because the tender must be precisely maneuvered over the carrier platform and then jacked up accordingly by means of the height-adjustable support platform.
  • the support platform is now obliquely placed longitudinally by the asymmetric lowering of the lift arms, so that the tender is driven practically as on land, namely the swimming plate ramp-like high. Stoppers hold the device in place and the ramp can be raised horizontally by lifting one side of the arm and can be hoisted up to the final position with the perfect fit and effortless.
  • the support plate By a position sensor and independently operating lifting means, also the support plate can be kept in a predetermined angular position even when swell.
  • variable support platform has Hubverriegelungszylinder, in addition to locking the carrier platform with the vessel in the high position, as well as integrated distance measuring sensors, on the one hand to maintain a certain ramp angle, as well as to stop the stroke at a given lowering height, should a tender - or Wasserjet réelle still be lashed, because without such a precaution, the moored device could be lowered under water.
  • gear can not be inserted, respectively.
  • the transverse thruster function is also disabled.
  • the carrier platform can be moved axially, or expand telescopically, so that at a given rotation kinematics of the carrier platform arms, the carrier platform is always with a small gap at the rear of the vessel, otherwise there is a gap of more than 0.5 m between the carrier platform and rear of the vehicle the semi-lowered position may grow up.
  • the core of the invention is, by means of a ramp which can be mechanically locked in any position and to secure the exact ramp angle by Wegmesssensoren, as well as to move the support platform longitudinally to guide the carrier platform with little cleavage from the rear, and the integration of technical Means directly into the lifting arms of the carrier platform, such as transverse thrusters, stabilizing and trimming elements, as well as the underwater passage of the engine exhaust gases.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic side view of a variable support platform with a lifting and lowering mechanism, as well as veneering of the movement mechanism, double locking the support platform and support for a tender
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of a variable carrier platform with a lifting and lowering mechanism, as well as an automatic extension of the platform
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic side view of a variable support platform with a lifting and lowering mechanism, and a controlled extension of the platform
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic rear view of a variable support platform with a lifting and lowering mechanism in the ramp position
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic rear view of a variable support platform with a lifting and lowering mechanism in the lowered position, with an integrated retractable watercraft rear cover
  • Fig. 6 is a schematic side view of a moving arm of a variable support platform with an integrated trim and stabilizing means and engine exhaust gas through the movement arm resp. through the cover
  • Fig. 7 is a schematic side view of a moving arm of a variable support platform with an integrated transverse thruster
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of a variable support platform A with a lifting and lowering mechanism B, which by means of a not shown
  • Linear arm or swivel arm 1 a platform 2, held by a support 3 and a Stützschwenkarm 4, which holds as a parallelogram the platform 2 in the lifting movement - indicated by the arrow H - in a constant horizontal.
  • the swing arm 1 and the support swing arm 4 may be of any shape as long as they do not conflict with the platform 2 during the raising or lowering phase.
  • the swing arm 1 is provided with a lifting means 5, which may be a rotary motor or linear drive and is moved electrically or by means of a fluid.
  • a fluid cylinder is shown, which has a mechanical Hubverriegelung 6 and a Wegmesssensor 7. The Hubverriegelung 6 ensures that the support platform can be locked in any position.
  • the swivel arm 1 remains mechanically blocked in the event of a fluid failure in its predetermined position.
  • the displacement sensor 7, which may be integrated in the fluid cylinder and e.g. measures linearly or e.g. is also housed on the holding housing 8 in the form of a rotary angle meter, has the task as a limit switch at fully harness originally, resp. completely lowered carrier platform to output a signal so that an electronics stops the fluid pump.
  • the displacement sensor 7 also allows to detect intermediate values in order to safely raise or lower the carrier platform, in double lifting and lowering mechanisms, resp. to move asymmetrically when needed. Furthermore, the distance measurement ensures that when lowered
  • Support platform of the propeller drive or the transverse thruster can not be operated so that no sudden take-up of the vessel and the variable support platform A could suffer damage, resp. also people who would be on the platform 2.
  • a weighing cell 9 in the region of the swivel arm 2 also warns when the system is overloaded.
  • a rotating means 10 which serves as a hinge to the asymmetric movement of the pivoting arm 1 to the opposite Swivel arm 1, the tilting movement of the platform 2, as well as the eventual deflection movement, by means of a deflector 11 record.
  • the mooring device 13 for the tender C which has a contact sensor 14, which may be a strain gauge or the like, so that when the platform 2 is lowered below a certain value, e.g. at the level of the water line W, detected by the Wegmesssensor 7, the lowering is stopped until the tender C is released from the mooring 13, so that the tender C can not be lowered under water or only so much that it solves the solution
  • the tender C is just floated.
  • the lifting means 5 can be designed according to limited power in lowering mode, so that underwater pulling the tender C is also impossible.
  • the tender C can be a dinghy, a jet ski or similar.
  • a platform lock 15 is used to avoid overburdening loads of the swing arm 1 while hovering the vessel WF hoisted tender C, as well as the platform 2 as possible with defined gap at the rear of the vessel 16 secure, often a
  • Pre-platform 16 is attached to attach the platform lock 15 and other in it.
  • the platform lock 15 may be electrical or fluidic, and is unlocked via the electronics, while the locking is automatic once the platform 2 has reached its raised end position, similar to a latch of a door lock.
  • a contactor 17 warns against
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of a variable support platform A with a lifting and lowering mechanism B 1 which has a platform 2 in the interior 19 an axially displaceable, indicated by the arrow X, additional platform 20 and by means of a corresponding linear guide 21, against a Spring element 22 can move.
  • the auxiliary platform presses against a guide rail 23, which can adapt to the line of the watercraft and, for example, is supported on the fore platform 16 and on the stern 8a, so that the support platform as a whole in the lifting movement, indicated by the arrow H, always possible with a small gap leaned against the stern of the boat 8a or if desired at a desired location allows more gap.
  • the additional platform 22 has a guide holder 23a, not shown, which comprises the guide rail 23 and in this way the additional platform 22 axially, on the lifting movement H, is displaceable.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic side view of a variable support platform A with a lifting and lowering mechanism B, which has a platform 2 which rests on an axially displaceable slide 24.
  • the sliding mechanism can be carried out on rollers 25 or Teflon-like coated sliding shoes and is driven by a sliding motor 26 which is carried out electrically or fluidly e.g.
  • the platform 2 can be moved by a combination of the telescopically displaceable additional platform 20 as described in FIG. 2 and by means of a sliding motor 26 controlled by an algorithm.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic rear view of a variable support platform A with a lifting and lowering mechanism B with an inclined platform 2, which is achieved by a different lowering of one of the two lifting and lowering mechanisms B.
  • This feature is specific to a tender C used, which runs at a corresponding speed and to let it boast directly to the platform 2. This is particularly important with choppy water or swell, as it may be difficult to position the tender C exactly above the platform 2 and then carefully hoist the device out of the water.
  • the platform 2 has corresponding tender receivers 12 and stoppers 27, so that the tender C can be brought into position at the ramp entrance and braked in the right place and then only has to be lashed, with the additionally lowered lifting and lowering mechanism B starts up first , then both lifting and lowering mechanisms B parallel to the platform lock
