SUBMARINE WITH HYDRAULIC TORPEDO TUBES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F41F3/00 B63G8/32 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: submarine with hydraulic torpedo tubes comprises a strong body and a light body with torpedo tube shutters. Torpedo tubes are equipped with front and rear covers, a source of energy, a controller, a motor and a pump. The strong body of the submarine is made of two parts of small and large diameter, above and under which there is a light body. Above the part of the strong body having small diameter, between the light and strong bodies there is a platform. The platform has a rupture with vertical walls that divide the strong body of small diameter into two parts by a horizontal deck. In the lower part between vertical walls there is a bottom. The deck is connected with a platform by vertical partitions installed at the angle to the diametral plane of the submarine. The deck, the platform, vertical walls, the bottom and the strong body of large diameter together form a pulse cistern. Torpedo tubes are installed on the platform at the angle to the diametral plane of the submarine. Coamings are welded into the bottom and the deck. Covers with a remotely controlled drive are placed on the lower cut of the coamings. Opposite to each torpedo tube and coaming in the light body there is a shield with a remotely controlled drive. Motors with pumps in a shaft are installed onto upper cuts of the coamings, as well as transport-launch containers, the upper cuts of which are arranged above the pulse cistern, and the lower cut with the help of a tight split joint is installed on the coaming, and also vertical hydraulic torpedo tubes are installed. An inlet Kingston valve is installed in the middle part of the cut. The inner diameter of each vertical torpedo tube is made as capable of placement of a detachable guide grid with obturating rings on the upper cut of the split joint inside the torpedo tube. In the space between the strong body of small and large diameter, the pulse cistern and the upper part of the light body there is a partition equipped with guide structures. The partition is connected to the pulse cistern via a tightly closing hatch with a remotely controlled drive.

EFFECT: improved layout properties and safety of a submarine.
