STRUCTURE FOR A WATERTIGHT TEST OF A SUBMARINE COMMUNICATION RADOM, CAPABLE OF OPERATING DEVICES ON THE GROUND BEFORE TESTING A WATERTIGHT IN A HIGH PRESSURE SEA WATER CHAMBER

摘要

PURPOSE: A watertight test structure of an antenna pod of a submarine for communication is provided to test a watertight without separating an antenna pad from a mast and to enhance the reliability of a watertight test because a leakage of an o--ring part of a radom can be checked.;CONSTITUTION: A watertight test structure of an antenna pod of a submarine for communication comprises a housing(110), a radom(160), a sealing part, and a gas filling pipe(140). The housing is comprised in an antenna pod mounted in a hoistable mast of a bridge of a submarine. A circular boss(112) is formed into a body with the upper part of the housing and a flange(114) projected and formed into a body with a lower circumference of the boss. The radom is joined to the outer circumference of the boss of the housing. The radom is joined to the housing so that a space where an antenna and communication devices are contained is sealed and formed inside of the radom. The sealing part is arranged between the outer circumference of the boss and the radom so that a watertight inside of the radom is obtained. The outer surface of the housing and radom are communicated so that the gas filling pipe is formed.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
