Abstract
According to the present invention, there is provided a ship having an anti-sinking and anti-capsize device for emergency, which, in an emergency situation that may be caused by load or loss of buoyancy attributable to flooding, can continuously maintain the state of floating on the water by generating buoyancy inside and below a lower hull, and can prevent the ship from being tilted to one side or being completely capsized by maintaining the balance of the ship, thereby preventing a deadly accident that may occur in an emergency, such as a ship sinking accident, and also facilitating rescue operations.
Claims5
A ship having an anti-sinking and anti-capsize device for emergency, wherein:
- a buoyancy means configured to be locked to an installation bar installed on a top of the ship and to, when the locking is released in an emergency, be lowered along a vertical movement path formed in the lower hull and prevent the ship from sinking is disposed inside and below a lower hull, and a ship balancing means configured prevent the ship from capsizing is disposed to extend long below the lower hull;
- the buoyancy means comprises:
- a first buoyancy member including an upper vacuum cylinder configured to have a flange portion at an upper end thereof so that it is normally locked to the installation bar and is caught on and supported by an upper end of the lower hull in an emergency, and a lower vacuum cylinder formed to have a diameter smaller than that of the upper vacuum cylinder;
- and a second buoyancy member installed around the lower vacuum cylinder in a folded state, and configured to be inflated and disposed on a bottom surface of the lower hull in an emergency;
- and
- the ship balancing means comprises:
- one or more bodies configured to extend while spreading downward in an antenna manner in a state in which an upper end thereof has been supported at a lower end of the lower vacuum cylinder;
- one or more water inlets formed in the bodies;
- and a support plate formed at a lower end of the lowest body, and provided with a water outlet having a plug.
