SUBMARINE ESCAPE VEHICLE

The invention relates to shipbuilding, in particular to submarine vehicles and can be used for salvage and rescue operations on submarines (11). The inventive submarine escape vehicle (SEV) (1) comprises a body (2, 3), a suction chamber (7) provided with a thrust collar (9), a movement control system (6) and an ancillary manoeuvring and dynamic positioning system (5). The body of the suction chamber (7) comprises a movable ball-shaped belt (8) which is segmented in a particular embodiment in such a way that the segments are relatively displaceable. The thrust collar (9) is mounted above the coamings deck (10) of a damaged object (11) by the ball-shaped belt (8) turn. An external illumination system is provided with lighting elements (13) and light-markers (14) and is optically connected to an optical-television field surveillance system which is embodied in the form a set of TV cameras (12) for remotely detecting the damaged object (11). Said TV cameras (12) are mounted on the body (3) of the SEV (1) around the suction chamber (7) in such a way that multi-angle stereo-pairs are formed, the light markers (14) are fixed to the thrust collar (9), thereby making it possible to control the mutual position of the suction chamber (7) of the SEV (1) and the coamings deck (10) of the damaged object (11). A television information displaying device (15) is computer-assisted and connected to the ancillary manoeuvring and dynamic positioning system (5) by means of the movement control system (6). Said invention improves the operating characteristics of the submarine escape vehicle (1). L'invention se rapporte au génie naval et concerne notamment les appareils sous-marins; elle peut s'utiliser dans des travaux sous-marins de sauvetage sur des sous-marins (11). L'appareil de sauvetage sous-marin (ASSM, 1) comprend une coque (2, 3), une chambre d'aspiration (7) avec une bague d'appui (9), un système de commande (6) et un système auxiliaire de manoeuvres et de positionnement dynamique (5). Le corps de la chambre d'aspiration (7) comprend une ceinture à billes mobile (8) qui, dans un cas particulier, est segmentée de manière à assurer la mobilité des segments les uns par rapport aux autres. En faisant pivoter la ceinture mobile (8) on assure le positionnement désiré de la bague d'appui (9) au-dessus de l'hiloire (10) de l'objet en détresse (11). Le système d'éclairage extérieur avec des éléments d'éclairage (13) et des marqueurs lumineux (14) est relié optiquement avec le s
