[0047] The propeller 10 is arranged on the marine propeller 20 and is used to push the ship to run. Refer to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a propeller thrust and pull force measuring device, which includes a stern plate fixing frame 1, a propeller mounting frame 2, a supporting part 3 and a dynamometer 4. Among them, the stern plate fixing frame 1 is detachably connected to the stern plate 30 of the ship, the marine propeller 20 is connected to the propeller mounting frame 2, one end of the supporting part 3 is fixedly connected to the stern plate fixing frame 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the propeller mounting frame 2. One end of the dynamometer 4 is connected to the stern plate fixing frame 1, and the other end is connected to the propeller mounting frame 2
[0048] In the present invention, by connecting the stern plate fixing bracket 1 to the stern plate 30 and connecting the thruster mounting bracket 2 to the marine thruster 20, the connection between the marine thruster 20 and the stern plate 30 is achieved. Since the thruster mounting bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the support portion 3 and the dynamometer 4 is connected between the stern plate fixing bracket 1 and the thruster mounting bracket 2, according to the lever principle, with the rotational connection between the thruster mounting bracket 2 and the support portion 3 as the fulcrum and the connection between the dynamometer 4 and the thruster mounting bracket 2 and the rotational axis of the propeller 10 as the two force application points, moment balance calculation can be carried out to obtain the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10. There is no need to use a slide rail, there is no influence of friction, and the measurement accuracy is high.
[0049] Specifically, one end of the dynamometer 4 is connected to the top of the stern plate fixing bracket 1, and the other end is connected to the top of the thruster mounting bracket 2. The dynamometer 4 is parallel or approximately parallel to the rotational axis of the propeller 10. The dynamometer 4 is an existing dynamometer that shows the value through tension and compression, and its specific structure and working principle will not be elaborated here.
[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the stern plate fixing bracket 1 includes a first vertical frame body 11, a second vertical frame body 12, a first horizontal frame body 13, and two connecting frames 14. Among them, the support portion 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first vertical frame body 11, the dynamometer 4 is connected to the top end of the first vertical frame body 11, one end of the first horizontal frame body 13 is fixedly connected to the top end of the first vertical frame body 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top end of the second vertical frame body 12. The two connecting frames 14 are arranged at intervals and are connected to the inner side of the second vertical frame body 12. One end of the stern plate 30 is located between the first vertical frame body 11 and the second vertical frame body 12.
[0051] Specifically, the support portion 3 includes an outer frame 31, a first diagonal support frame 32, and a first fixing frame 33. The bottom end of the first vertical frame body 11 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 31. The first diagonal support frame 32 is inclined. One end of the first diagonal support frame 32 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first vertical frame body 11. The first fixing frame 33 is arranged in the middle of the outer frame 31. The first diagonal support frame 32 strengthens the stability of the connection between the outer frame 31 and the first vertical frame body 11 and ensures the strength of the connection between the stern plate fixing bracket 1 and the support portion 3.
[0052] In this embodiment, there are four first diagonal support frames 32, and two first diagonal support frames 32 are respectively connected to both sides of the first vertical frame body 11.
[0053] Specifically, the support portion 3 is rotatably connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 through the connecting portion 5.
[0054] More specifically, referring to Figure 1, the connecting part 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 and a bearing assembly 52. One end of the thruster mounting bracket 2 is sleeved and connected to the rotating shaft 51. The bearing assembly 52 includes a bearing and a bearing seat. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected inside the bearing seat, the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing, and the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the outer frame 31 of the support part 3. By setting the bearing, the rotation of the thruster mounting bracket 2 relative to the support part 3 is smoother. Based on the rotating shaft 51, the bearing and the bearing seat cooperate with each other, with a simple structure, small friction, and high load-bearing capacity.
[0055] More specifically, the thruster mounting bracket 2 rotates relative to the support part 3 within a certain angular range. The certain angular range is -10° - 10°, including -10° and 10°. Preferably, the certain angular range is -2° - 2°, including -2° and 2°. A smaller certain angular range results in higher measurement accuracy.
[0056] In this embodiment, there are two connecting parts 5, and the two connecting parts 5 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom end of the thruster mounting bracket 2. Setting two connecting parts 5 enables the thruster mounting bracket 2 to be more stably connected to the support part 3. In other embodiments, the number of connecting parts 5 can also be set to other values.
[0057] Specifically, the propeller thrust and pull force measuring device further includes a thruster connection assembly 6. The thruster connection assembly 6 includes a connecting sleeve 61 and a thruster clamping handle 62. The connecting sleeve 61 is sleeved on the top end of the thruster mounting bracket 2 and is fixedly connected to the marine thruster 20 at one end. The thruster clamping handle 62 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 61. The thruster clamping handle 62 rotates around its own axis to extend into the connecting sleeve 61 to clamp the thruster mounting bracket 2, so that the marine thruster 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the thruster mounting bracket 2.
[0058] In this embodiment, there are two thruster clamping handles 62 on the connecting sleeve 61. The two thruster clamping handles 62 are located on both sides of the dynamometer 4, so as to lock and fix the thruster mounting bracket 2 more reliably and avoid interference with the connection between the dynamometer 4 and the thruster mounting bracket 2.
[0059] Optionally, the dynamometer 4 is connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 and / or the stern plate fixing bracket 1 through a fixing component. The length of the fixing component is adjustable, so as to ensure that the axis of the dynamometer 4 is parallel or approximately parallel to the rotation axis of the propeller 10 and the horizontal plane 40.
[0060] Specifically, the fixing component includes a rod end spherical bearing. The rod end of the rod end spherical bearing is threadedly connected to the end of the dynamometer 4, and the bearing end of the rod end spherical bearing is rotatably connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 or the stern plate fixing bracket 1.
[0061] More specifically, fixing components are respectively arranged at both ends of the dynamometer 4, and are respectively connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 and the stern plate fixing bracket 1 through the two fixing components. In other embodiments, the connection length between the dynamometer 4 and the thruster mounting bracket 2 or between the dynamometer 4 and the stern plate fixing bracket 1 can also be adjustable, that is, only a fixing component needs to be arranged at one end of the dynamometer 4.
[0062] In this embodiment, the fixing components at both ends of the dynamometer 4 are respectively a first fixing component 71 and a second fixing component 72.
[0063] Among them, the first fixing component 71 is used to connect one end of the dynamometer 4 and the top of the first vertical frame 11. The first fixing component 71 includes a first rod end spherical bearing 711, a first set screw 712 and two first fixing plates 713. The rod end of the first rod end spherical bearing 711 is threadedly connected to the end of the dynamometer 4 facing the first vertical frame 11. The two first fixing plates 713 are clamped on the top of the first vertical frame 11. The bearing end of the first rod end spherical bearing 711 is located between the two first fixing plates 713. The first set screw 712 is connected to the two first fixing plates 713 and passes through the bearing of the first rod end spherical bearing 711. The adjustment of the connection length between the dynamometer 4 and the first vertical frame 11 is realized through the first rod end spherical bearing 711. In other embodiments, the first fixing component 71 can also be a connecting rod with threads at both ends. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively threadedly connected to the first vertical frame 11 and the dynamometer 4, so as to realize the adjustment of the connection length between the dynamometer 4 and the first vertical frame 11.
[0064] Among them, the second fixing component 72 is used to connect the other end of the dynamometer 4 and the top of the thruster mounting bracket 2. The second fixing component 72 includes a second rod end spherical bearing 721, a second set screw and two second fixing plates 722. The rod end of the second rod end spherical bearing 721 is threadedly connected to the end of the dynamometer 4 facing the thruster mounting bracket 2. The two second fixing plates 722 are clamped on the top of the thruster mounting bracket 2. The bearing end of the second rod end spherical bearing 721 is located between the two second fixing plates 722. The second set screw is connected to the two second fixing plates 722 and passes through the bearing of the second rod end spherical bearing 721. The adjustment of the connection length between the dynamometer 4 and the thruster mounting bracket 2 is realized through the second rod end spherical bearing 721. In other embodiments, the second fixing component 72 can also be a connecting rod with threads at both ends. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively threadedly connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 and the dynamometer 4, so as to realize the adjustment of the connection length between the dynamometer 4 and the thruster mounting bracket 2.
[0065] Since there is a certain angle between the marine propeller 20 and the propeller mounting bracket 2, in this embodiment, the deflection angle of the propeller mounting bracket 2 relative to the support portion 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the screwed lengths of the first fixing component 71 and the second fixing component 72 and the dynamometer 4, so as to ensure that the rotation axis of the propeller 10 and the axis of the dynamometer 4 are both parallel or approximately parallel to the horizontal plane 40.
[0066] Optionally, the propeller thrust and pull force measuring device further includes two stern clamping handle assemblies 8, and the two stern clamping handle assemblies 8 are respectively connected to the two connecting frames 14.
[0067] Specifically, the stern clamping handle assembly 8 includes a connecting handle 81, a connecting nut 82 and a clamping plate 83. The connecting nut 82 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 14. The connecting handle 81 is threadedly connected to the connecting nut 82 and passes through the connecting frame 14. The end of the connecting handle 81 extending into the space between the first vertical frame body 11 and the second vertical frame body 12 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 83.
[0068] More specifically, during installation and use, the stern plate 30 is located between the clamping plate 83 and the first vertical frame body 11. Rotate the connecting handle 81 to move the clamping plate 83 towards the direction close to the first vertical frame body 11, and finally clamp the stern plate 30 between the clamping plate 83 and the first vertical frame body 11, so that the stern plate fixing frame 1 is fixed on the stern plate 30. By screwing the connecting handle 81 and the connecting nut 82, the clamping width can be adjusted according to the thickness of the stern plate 30 to adapt to stern plates 30 of various sizes and specifications.
[0069] In this embodiment, the two stern clamping handle assemblies 8 cooperate with each other to make the connection between the stern plate fixing frame 1 and the stern plate 30 more stable. In other embodiments, the number of the connecting frames 14 and the stern clamping handle assemblies 8 can also be other numbers, as long as the stern plate fixing frame 1 can be fixed on the stern plate 30.
[0070] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for measuring the propeller thrust and pull force. The above-mentioned propeller thrust and pull force measuring device includes the following steps:
[0071] Step 1: Obtain a first distance and a second distance. The connection point between the propeller mounting bracket 2 and the support portion 3 is the fulcrum 100. The first distance is the height difference between the axis of the dynamometer 4 and the fulcrum 100, and the second distance is the height difference between the fulcrum 100 and the rotation axis of the propeller 10.
[0072] Step 2: The propeller 10 rotates to generate a thrust or a pull force.
[0073] Step 3: The dynamometer 4 displays a measured value, and the measured value is the force generated by the propeller mounting bracket 2 on the dynamometer 4.
[0074] In this step, under the action of the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10, the thruster 20 drives the thruster mounting bracket 2 to rotate around the fulcrum 100, exerting a force on the dynamometer 4 until the moment at the fulcrum 100 reaches equilibrium.
[0075] Step Four: Calculate the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10. According to the lever principle, the relational expression for the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10 is:
[0076] F2 = (F1 × L1) / L2;
[0077] Wherein, F2 is the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10, F1 is the measured value of the dynamometer 4, L1 is the first distance, and L2 is the second distance.
[0078] In this step, according to the lever principle, the relational expression obtained at the fulcrum 100 is:
[0079] F1 × L1 = F2 × L2;
[0080] Wherein, F2 is the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10, F1 is the measured value of the dynamometer 4, L1 is the first distance, and L2 is the second distance.
[0081] Then, by deriving the above relational expression, the relational expression for the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10 can be obtained as: F2 = (F1 × L1) / L2.
[0082] Step Five: Adjust the rotational speed of the propeller 10, calculate the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10, and obtain the rotational speed-thrust / pull force curve of the propeller 10 based on the rotational speed value and the corresponding thrust or pull force value of the propeller 10.
[0083] For the propeller thrust / pull force measurement method proposed in the embodiment of the present invention, based on the measured value shown by the dynamometer 4 and the measured first distance and second distance, the thrust or pull force of the propeller 10 can be calculated through the lever principle, and the measurement accuracy is high.
[0084] Specifically, before measuring through the dynamometer 4, adjust the connection distances between the two ends of the dynamometer 4 and the stern plate fixing bracket 1 and the thruster mounting bracket 2 so that the axis of the dynamometer 4 and the axis of rotation of the propeller 10 are both parallel or approximately parallel to the horizontal plane 40.
[0085] In this embodiment, the support portion 3 is rotatably connected to the thruster mounting bracket 2 through the connecting portion 5, and the fulcrum 100 is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 51 of the connecting portion 5.
[0086] The above embodiments only illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, there are various changes and modifications to the present invention, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
