technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a swingable propeller nozzle for ships and to a nozzle rod for swinging the propeller nozzle for ships. Background technique
[0002] The drive unit of a ship, in particular a watercraft, is called a propeller nozzle and contains a propeller which is surrounded or shrouded by a nozzle ring. Such nozzle rings are also known as "Kort nozzles". The propellers arranged inside the nozzle ring are usually of fixed design, ie the propellers can only pivot about the drive axis or the propeller axis. For this purpose, the propeller is connected to the main body of the vessel via a rotatable but non-pivotable propeller shaft extending along the propeller axis. The propeller shaft is driven by a drive provided in the body of the boat. In contrast, propellers are not oscillating (horizontally or vertically).
[0003] In the case of a simple structure of the propeller nozzle, the nozzle ring surrounding the propeller is also fix...
