A
hybrid power module for ship propulsion relates to the field of marine power technology. To address the problems of existing ship propulsion modules, which often employ electric motors, traditional heat engines, and parallel gearboxes for propulsion, resulting in large, complex systems with low space utilization and poor
operational stability, this invention utilizes a highly integrated parallel reduction gearbox, a flexible
coupling, and an
electric motor. This achieves
high power density and reduces the size by half compared to existing ship propulsion modules, improving
hull space utilization. Furthermore, it can directly drive the
propeller shaft without external power. With increased power, a
diesel engine or gas
turbine can be introduced to drive the
propeller shaft in parallel with this module. The forward and reverse rotation of the
propeller shaft can be achieved by engaging or disengaging forward and reverse clutches. This module enables operation and switching of six different main engine
modes, providing high redundancy in the power
system and ensuring
operational stability. It has a wide range of applications. This invention is applicable to ships.
