SHIP BEARING FRAME COMPENSATOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63B23/18 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ship bearing frame compensator 1. Proposed device comprises bearing frame 2, actuating system 4, 5, 6 to displace bearing frame 2 in z-axis and to turn it around x- and y-axes. Note here that said x-, y- and z-axes form an image set of orthogonal axes. Note that z-axis extends vertically. It comprises also set 8 of transducers to measure ship motion in z-axis, rotation about x-axis and rotation about y-axis. Control system 9 generates control signals for actuation of actuating system in response to signals of said transducers. Actuating system comprises at least three cylinder-piston blocks, each with lengthwise axis 14. Note that said lengthwise axes are mutually parallel at mechanical equilibrium. Every cylinder block has top support 15 to hold bearing frame at said cylinder-piston set and bottom support 16 to hold said set at the base. Top and/or bottom supports allows rotation. Said resilient system generates elastic counteracting forces at the state of misbalance. Note that said counteracting forces inhibit the disturbance of said mechanical equilibrium.

EFFECT: balancing of ship bearing frame at water local displacement.
