SEPARATION DEVICE AND SEPARATION METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly charge a suspended load while preventing any contact of the suspended load.SOLUTION: In a separation device 10, a base part 74 mounted with a compressed air supply part 60 and control means 64 and a connection part 12 are connected in series between suspension means 82 and a suspended load 88. When an operation concerning the separating motion is input in an operation part 62, a control signal is wirelessly transmitted so that the compressed air supply part 60 is permitted to supply the compressed air to the connection part 12 by the control means 64 receiving the control signal. When the compressed air is supplied, a connection mechanism of the connection part 12 is separated so that the suspended load 88 is released. Since the suspended load 88 is charged through a remote operation from the operation part 62 over a working ship 80, a distance between the suspended load 88 and the working ship 80 is sufficiently secured, so that the contact therebetween can be prevented. Further, since the structure is simple and a supply passage of compressed air is identical to a length from the compressed air supply part 60 to the connection part 12, the suspended load 88 can be rapidly charged.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】吊荷の接触を発生させることなく、吊荷を迅速に投入する。【解決手段】切離装置１０は、圧縮空気供給部６０及び制御手段６４を搭載したベース部７４と連結部１２とが、吊り下げ手段８２と吊荷８８との間に直列に連結される。操作部６２に切り離し動作に係る操作が入力されると、制御信号が無線で送信され、それを受信した制御手段６４により、圧縮空気供給部６０から連結部１２への圧縮空気の供給が許可される。圧縮空気が供給されると、連結部１２の連結機構が分離され、吊荷８８が解き放たれる。このように、作業船８０上の操作部６２から、遠隔操作により吊荷８８の投入が行われるため、吊荷８８と作業船８０との距離が十分にあけられ、それらの接触を防止することができる。更に、構造が単純であり、圧縮空気の供給経路が、圧縮空気供給部６０から連結部１２までの長さであるため、迅速に吊荷８８を投入することができる。【選択図】図２
