DESCRIPTION

Emergency drive device for life equipment davits.

Object of the invention 5

The present invention relates to an emergency drive device for life-saving equipment davits in the absence of electrical power - a location called "dead ship" in the corresponding technical sector - on a ship, platform (eg oil) or any another possible location of the davit with the lifeguard equipment. 10

Background of the invention

The stowage and launch of life-saving equipment (emergency boats, liferafts, etc.) from ships or other platforms (docks, oil stations, etc.) is carried out by means of complex davit, known as davits in the corresponding technical sector , which have evolved over time.

In the current situation, said davits usually comprise a mobile frame provided with one or more upper arms for suspension, hoisting or launching of the boat supported by the corresponding column or columns in turn provided with a base or support base in one part. fixed of the ship, usually its deck, so that by moving the davit between two extreme positions the boat is parked inside the board or alternatively hanging on the outside to lower it then by means of cables from which it hangs from the upper arms. In another type of davits said frame is fixed, the davit having only the 25 movements of raising and lowering the boat.

The operation of the davit, to remove the davit from the storage position to the launch position, is currently carried out mainly by means of hydraulic cylinders (there are other variants that do so by gravity or by rotation), although the applicant for the This patent also holds other patent applications that propose purely electric drives with the corresponding electric motors and without hydraulics. However, logically the pumps of the hydraulic power plants of the drive cylinders that are currently used are also provided with the corresponding electric drive motors. 35

The drive (both to take the boat to the launching position and to lift the boat) of the hydraulic davits nowadays in case of absence of electric power on a ship or platform (situation known as “dead ship” in the sector particular technician) is carried out by means of hydraulic accumulators, which are preloaded with pressure of 40 so that they have the necessary power to drive the cylinders in case of dead ship. These systems also include a manual pump, to recharge the pressure of the accumulators if necessary.

However, the use of hydraulic drives poses an environmental risk in case of breakage of hoses or seals, which implies the discharge of hydraulic fluid to the outside, with the aggravating factor of the hydraulic accumulator having its own elements with respect to the drive itself Conventional hydraulic, increases this risk. On the other hand, the batteries also have the problem of the risk of explosion or accident, because they are under pressure. fifty




Description of the invention

The emergency drive device for davits of the invention is applied to davits comprising at least one electric motor for its drive (direct or for driving hydraulic pumps), and according to the invention comprises:

- At least one manual drive generator and

- At least one voltage adapter to adapt the voltage generated in the generator to drive the motor or davit motors. 10

In this way in case of dead ship or problems in hydraulic systems, the davit will always be able to be operated. It is primarily intended to take the davit to the launching position, although it is also valid to raise a boat when it is at sea.
 fifteen
As advantages of the proposed configuration, in addition, you get:

- Elimination of hydraulic accumulators and associated environmental problems.
 twenty
Looking for the above, other advantages were found:

- More efficiency compared to hydraulic systems. Less effort is needed to take out the davit regarding hydraulic systems.
 25
- Faster loading.

- Lower weight when dispensing with hydraulic accumulators. This also allows it to be positioned within the davit in any position, either as a whole or by separating the different components from each other (the accumulators are normally located in the lower part of the davit or on the roof itself due to its high weight) and even near or within electricity cupboard.

- The space occupied within the davit is substantially reduced.
 35
- It is not necessary to have a hydraulic system (lower weight).

- There are no systems under pressure (greater safety, better for transport and for commissioning, etc.).
 40
- Easier to control the correct filling of the system and its level of availability, being able to have the components both inside and outside the davit (in hydraulic systems it is better to have the components visible for better maintenance and inspection).
 Four. Five
- Easier to install the components inside the davit (the accumulators are very heavy and difficult to handle).

- Much quieter system.
 fifty
- Much less maintenance.

- Easily scalable (version with several cranks and generators to charge several supercapacitors simultaneously), to further reduce the time needed to take out or retrieve the boat.

- It is possible to regulate the force applied to the generation. 5

- Simplification of the mechanical system.

- Absence of nitrogen from hydraulic accumulators.
 10
But in addition to the above, the advantage was found that it can be complemented with the existing davit movement system (use the same electric motor, the same frequency inverter, the existing mechanics, etc.) without the need to include new components (accumulators hydraulic), and it could even be possible to directly drive the three-phase motor through the generator if it is three-phase and is adapted to the characteristics of the motor. fifteen

- At least one manually operated generator (3) and

- At least one voltage adapter (4) to adapt the voltage generated in the generator (3) to drive the motor or motors (5) of the davit (2). 35

The adapter (4) can be a voltage booster, usable if the generator (3) and the motor (5) are three-phase, or it can be a frequency converter, usable in most cases.

In this way, available energy is available to drive the motors (5), either with direct drive of the davit (2), or with the drive of the hydraulic pumps, not shown, for driving the drive cylinders of the davit (2) or to climb the boat in dead ship situations, but also in any other situation.

Preferably, the generator (3) comprises a three-phase alternating current generator, since the driving motors of the davits or of the hydraulic pumps are of squirrel cage, three-phase alternating current of great robustness. In this case the adapter (4) can be a voltage booster or a frequency converter. In addition, it is preferred that the generator (3) comprises a permanent magnet generator.
