- an automatic warning device 1 according to the present invention is shown schematically.
- the warning device 1 in the illustrated specific embodiment has a housing 3.
- the housing 3 may also be replaced by simple brackets, frame parts or any other support elements for the warning device 1.
- the housing 3 offers only the possibility of a compact and shielded from external influences construction.
- the housing 3 comprises a housing cover 3.1, a housing base 3.2 and four housing sides 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6.
- an adjusting device 5 is arranged, which - comprises a transparent chamber 5.1 with a liquid medium and a swim bladder 5.2 and a mark 5.3.
- the housing 3 is in a horizontal orientation.
- height adjustable foot elements are arranged 5.4 (see arrow), of which only two front are shown. In fact, however, three, four or more foot elements are provided. By height adjustment of the foot elements 5.4, the swim bladder 5.2 can be brought into alignment with the mark 5.3.
- the adjusting device 5 is connected to other components of the warning device 1, such that a horizontal support is ensured.
- a suspension 7 for a first component 9 is attached to the housing cover 3.1 as a contact pendulum.
- the suspension 7 need not be mounted directly to the housing cover 3.1 in other embodiments but can also be attached to a false ceiling or any other ceiling-side support or support member, such as a bracket, a frame part o. The like ..
- the suspension 7 comprises a filamentary or cord-like element 7.1, which is attached with a hanging end to the contact pendulum.
- the trained as a contact pendulum first component 9 thus depends, as usual in a pendulum, free.
- the contact pendulum in the present embodiment has an outer contour which is very similar to a conventional pendulum, with a tip 9.1 tapering towards the hanging end and a wider end 9.2 wider towards the suspension 7.
- the outer diameter of the contact pendulum decreases continuously from the wide end 9.2 to the top 9.1.
- the first component 9 also have completely different contours, whose outer diameter is constant in the direction of solder from one end to the other end, so z. B. cylindrical, or is variable, with gradations in any order.
- the pointed end 9.1 and the wide flat end 9.2 of the present embodiment can be arranged just opposite in the vertical direction, so tip upwards.
- the contour can also be a replica of a known objective form.
- the first component 9 does not form as a contact pendulum but as any movable or stationary element.
- a second component 11 is further arranged as a contact element.
- the second component 11 is in the present embodiment on the side wall 3.3 till- supports. In other embodiments, the second component 11 may be supported on any other side wall 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6. Even a support on the housing bottom 3.2 is possible.
- the second component 11 comprises in the present embodiment, a support arm 11.1 and a ring element 11.2.
- the ring element 11.2 has an internal diameter which is greater than the maximum external diameter of the first component 9
- Contact member formed second component 11 is arranged to the contact member designed as a second component 9 such that the contact pendulum is surrounded by the ring member 11.2.
- a ring element 11.2 with a circular contour in the horizontal plane is considered an ideal component.
- the ring element 11.2 also other contours, z. B. polygonal, have.
- the adjusting device 5 can also be connected to the second component 11.
- the first component 11 is height-adjustable on the side wall 3.3 in the present embodiment, d. h., In a direction parallel to the perpendicular of the first component 9.
- the height adjustment can be varied depending on the varying outer diameter of the first component 9, the distance between the first component 9 and the second component 11.
- the first component 9 When the sea is calm and the warning device 1 is oriented horizontally, the first component 9 hangs in the ring part 11.2 of the second component 11. As the sea increases, the stationary first component 11 moves with the ship's movements and the second component 9 starts to oscillate. Due to the difference between the outer diameter of the first component 9 and the inner diameter of the ring member 11.2, d. h., Depending on the height adjustment of the first component 11 on the side wall 3.3, a threshold for a sea state is set at which a critical condition for the ship arises. If such a seaway then sets in, the first component 9 touches the ring part 11.2.
- a voltage source 13 is arranged in the housing 3.
- the voltage source 13 supplies via a line 15, the first component 9 with an electrical voltage and via a line 16, the ring member 11.2 also with an electrical voltage.
- the voltage source 13 also supplies an alarm device 15 with an electrical voltage.
- the alarm device 15 is in the present embodiment, an acoustic alarm device 15 which can generate an audible warning signal.
- an optical warning signal signal can be generated.
- a switching device 17 is arranged, which is preferably a surge relay. Such relays are well known and will therefore not be further described here.
- the alarm device 15 In contact between the first component 9 and ring part 11.2 there is a voltage flow, which causes in the switching device 17, the tightening of a switch 17.1, so that via a line 19, the alarm device 15 is supplied with the electrical voltage and is activated to an acoustic and, if necessary to generate and deliver also optical warning signal.
- the first component 9 and the second component 11 form a signal triggering device for each embodiment.
- a pulse counter 21 is arranged in the present embodiment.
- the pulse counter 21 opens only when a predetermined number of pulses, that has occurred at touch contacts between the first component 9 and the ring member 11.2. This can prevent that the warning device 1 already triggers in waves of passing boats.
- an operation switch 23 is connected in a conventional manner, such that the overall function or only the Arlarmfunktion the warning device 1 can be switched ON / OFF. Also, other well-known operating functions, such as PAUSE, STAND-BY, REPEAT the warning after switching off the
- Alarms, timers, melody selection for the alarm signal, etc. which are generally known, can also be used in the warning device 1 according to the invention. Even a remote control can be provided. However, turning off the device should take some effort to keep the alarm on.
- the first member 9 and the ring member 11.2 are made of any conductive material.
- the first component 9 has been described as a movable contact pendulum and the second component 11 as a stationary ring member 11.2.
- the inventive concept also includes a first component 9 and a second component 11, both of which are movable. It is also possible for the component 9 to be fixed and the second component 11 to be movable. It is crucial that the two components 9 and 11 in a rest position of a watercraft assume a first spatial relationship with each other, which may be predetermined or may be arbitrary in predetermined degrees of freedom. In a tilt of the vessel, the first spatial relationship of the two components 9 and 11 to each other must change so that a second spatial relationship exists.
- this second spatial relationship does not have to be predetermined but can be arbitrary within chosen degrees of freedom. It is important that the two components 9 and 11 exert a physical effect on each other, for. B. as in the described embodiment are under an electrical voltage or are homopolar or opposite polarity magnetic or magnetized, wherein in the presence of the first spatial relationship, the physical effect does not lead to the triggering of a signal, but only when setting the second spatial relationship. It is also conceivable that the spatial variation of the first and second components by a beam measuring device, e.g. Laser, ultrasound, infrared or the like, can be detected and triggers a signal upon detection of the second spatial relationship.
- a beam measuring device e.g. Laser, ultrasound, infrared or the like
- the respective movable member 9 or 11 may, as described above, be suspended as a pendulum, be gimballed or be movably supported in any other suitable manner known in the art.
- the mobility is based on the at rest position and inclination of a vessel adjusting first or second spatial relationship and depending on the degrees of freedom to be granted.
- the signal triggering device can be formed so that it triggers a signal only at a predetermined angle.
