Description

1 TARIFF AN ANCHOR ROBOT FOR USE IN MARINE VESSELS. Technological Field: 5 The invention applies to the maritime sector, specifically to anchors on marine vessels. to eliminate potential problems, to make the anchoring process more effective and faster It involves a tilling robot to ensure that this is done in this way. State of the Art: Ships, cruise ships, cargo ships, tankers, ferries, yachts, boats These vehicles can be given as examples of marine vessels. In maritime affairs, 15 to the bottom of the water to keep any marine vessel stationary in a desired location a long chain or hook-shaped loop that is left hanging from two or more hooks Anchors attached to cables are used. In anchoring operations, scanning or... Problems such as the anchor getting snagged are frequently encountered. Dredging, This is when the boat drifts because the anchor does not grip the sea surface properly. Anchor entanglement means the anchor is stuck in the seabed and cannot be removed. 20 This means... In the known state of the technology, re-dropping the anchor that was trawling the sea The vehicle needs to be moved accordingly. This process takes time. It tires the marine vessel personnel. The anchor helps to secure it to the seabed. 25 A solution is needed, which includes this. In the known state of the art, the anchor is placed on the seabed or on the anchor of another marine vessel. If it gets caught in the chain, a person has to dive underwater to retrieve the anchor. This is necessary. In this case, divers, also known as scuba divers, come into play. 30 That's because diving to depths of 10-15 meters requires professionalism. This method is both very expensive and time-consuming. 2 It offers a solution. Because divers are generally found in harbors or marinas. It is located there, and it takes time for the vessel to reach its current location. Therefore... a quick and economical solution is needed to recover the anchors. It is heard. Brief Description of the Invention: An invention surpasses the prior art, overcomes its disadvantages, and adds to it. It is an anchoring robot that offers additional advantages. The purpose of the invention is to enable marine vessels to anchor themselves to and from the underwater seabed and seabed. entanglement and snagging, which makes it more effective at adhering to formations. It is related to an anchor robot that rescues the anchor in its problems. Another aim of the invention is to make the anchoring process on marine vessels faster, more economical and 15 The goal is to create a robot that makes it practical. The robot that is the subject of the invention moves along the anchor chains of marine vessels in the direction of the anchor and It is a remotely controlled device that can move in the direction of a marine vessel. With its scoop-like arms, it can grip the ground, grasp the hoe, and 20 It can free them from entanglement or tangling by pulling. Same The wheels on the robot allow it to move on the ground as well. It enables it to do so. In addition, the camera on the robot allows it to go underwater. The images show the anchor's status in real time. The robot, which is the subject of the invention and can move on the anchor chain, is attached to the anchor. It can descend the chain down to the anchor, either freeing it from where it's stuck or removing the anchor itself. When dropping the anchor, they move it to a safer area. They do this using their hand or... With its scoop-shaped arm limbs, it can manipulate the hoe and bury itself in the sand. It can be fixed in place, and while doing so, thanks to the cameras on it, 30 It offers the user the ability to visualize its maneuvers. The robot that is the subject of the invention. Thanks to its remote accessibility, the anchor holding process, known as dredging in maritime terminology, can be performed. 3 remote control in case of loss and drifting of the vessel This is possible. The invention includes control equipment and actuator elements for this purpose. Sensor and communication equipment is available. Explanation of the Figures: 5 The invention will be described by reference to the attached figures, so that the invention Its features will be understood more clearly. However, the purpose of this invention is not this specific one. It is not about limiting it with regulations. On the contrary, the invention's accompanying claims All alternatives, modifications that can be included within the area defined by it. 10 and the inclusion of their equivalencies is also intended. The details shown are only It is shown for the purpose of describing the preferred arrangements of the present invention and both the shaping of methods and the rules and concepts of invention to provide the most useful and easily understandable description of its properties It should be understood that they are presented. In these drawings; 15 Figure 1 - Perspective view of the anchoring robot, the subject of the invention. Figure 2 - Top view of the tiller robot, the subject of the invention. Figure 3 - A different perspective view of the anchor, the subject of the invention. Illustrations that will help understand this invention are shown in the attached image. They are numbered and their names are given below. Explanation of References: 1. Tiller robot 10. Body 11th Column 12. Bucket 13. Reel 30 14. Rope 15. Wheel 4 A. Chain Description of the Invention: In this detailed explanation, the subject of the invention, the anchor robot (1), is only a better understanding of the subject. with examples that will not create any limiting effect in order to facilitate understanding. It is explained. The tiller robot (1) which is the subject of the invention has a housing for the hardware and equipment. It has a body (10). The aforementioned body (10) is connected to an anchor chain (A) by 10 a movement mechanism that enables movement and movement It contains at least one actuator element that drives the mechanism. Movement The mechanism can be a wheeled, geared, sliding, or tracked structure. The mechanism holds firmly onto the chain (A) and the anchor (A) and the marine vessel. It can move on the chain (A) in the direction. 15 The invention includes at least one movable arm (11) on the body (10). Movable thanks to the articulated structure of the arms (11) and the drive elements which can be motors It is able to move and perform actions such as pushing and pulling. The arms (11) contain at least one scoop (12) in the form of a hand at their ends. This 20 In this way, the tiller robot (1) can grip the hoeing tools, pushing and pulling them with its arms (11). They can free them from where they are stuck or tangled. The invention includes a pulley (13) and rope (14) equipment in the body (1). The rope (14) is attached to the vessel and is connected to a propulsion element on the vessel. 25 It can be pulled out by the buckets (12) gripping the hoe and removing it from its place. It provides. The wheels (15) located under the body (1) are the anchor. It is used to enable the robot to move across a surface. Although not shown in the figures on the body (1) of the invention, the camera equipment is 30 It is used. Thus, the user controls the submarine via a control screen. can see the anchor and chain (A), control the maneuvers of the anchor robot (1). is able to. The invention can be controlled remotely. This control is done via a remote control. as can be done via software on smart devices such as phones and tablets 5 It can also be controlled via. In the invention, the control of the tiller robot (1) a controller, sensors and communication equipment that enable this are included is able to obtain. The tiller robot (1) that is the subject of the invention operates with electricity, and the supply for it is 10 It includes a battery to provide power. The robot that is the subject of the invention is underwater. The body (10) and its equipment must be waterproof because it will be working. It is possible for it to have a design. With the tiller robot (1) which is the subject of the invention, the tillers can be thrown more effectively, 15 Anchors can be moved to safe areas, preventing anchors from getting stuck or tangled. The problems can be solved. 25
