AUTOMATED SHIP-HEELING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63B39/14 B63B39/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: working body is made in the form of piston located in cylinder tube laying crosswise the ship diametral plane. The piston at its butt ends has fixating dampers for which in cylinder tube butt ends the mating fixing sockets are formed which sockets are located with possibility to provide gap between butt end of piston-working body and inner butt end of cylinder tube. End position sensors of piston-working body are placed in butt ends of cylinder tube, their outputs are connected with inputs of computing device. Slot-type gap space of one cylinder tube end is communicating via pipeline with discharge and suction pump fittings via solenoid valves, and the slot-type gap space of its other end is also communicating via pipeline with discharge and suction pump fittings via other similar valves. In this system, cylinder tube with piston-working body, pipelines with solenoid valves and pump chambers are fully filled with liquid having specific weight that is less than specific weight of piston-working body. The system is equipped with trim indicator and draft indicator the outputs of which, as well as clinometer output are connected with inputs of computing device the outputs of which are connected with inputs of solenoid valves and pump via adapters.

EFFECT: higher operation speed, accuracy, reliability of system operation, simplification of its use.
