Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship rudders, and in particular to a mechanical stop device for a large-rudder-angle ship rudder. Background Art

[0002] The main steering device of a ship refers to the machinery, steering mechanism, steering gear power equipment and its auxiliary equipment required for driving the ship under normal navigation conditions, and the components that apply torque to the rudder stock (such as tiller and rudder fan). The main steering device can steer the ship at the maximum sailing draft and maximum operating forward speed, and turn the rudder from 35 degrees on either side to 35 degrees on the other side. Under the same conditions, the time required to turn from 35 degrees on one side to 30 degrees on the other side does not exceed 28 seconds. When the ship is making curved movements, the rudder is affected by the hull's rectification effect. In fact, due to the influence of the hull on the water flow near the stern, the water flow tends to flow in the direction of the ship's length, so the actual drift angle at the axis of the rudder stock is smaller than the geometric drift angle of the hull at the stern rudder. In normal turning, the effective angle of attack of the rudder is always smaller than the steering angle. However, when making a Z-shaped test, when the ship is steered in the opposite direction to get rid of the turning state, the effective angle of attack of the rudder will be greater than the steering angle.

[0003] In order to better cooperate with the bow thruster and improve the lateral thrust, the invention increases the original maximum rudder angle of 35 degrees to 45 degrees, thereby greatly improving the turning performance and lateral movement ability of the ship.

[0004] The steering device of the power steering should be equipped with a limit switch or similar equipment to limit the maximum steering angle, and a mechanical stop device should be provided to limit the steering angle when the limit switch fails. The angle should be 1.5 to 2 degrees larger than the maximum steering angle.

[0005] For this reason, we propose a mechanical stop device for a large-rudder-angle rudder used in ships to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0010] Optionally, a locking hydraulic rod is fixed on the top of the limit block, the output end of the locking hydraulic rod passes through the limit block and extends into the socket hole, and a docking hole matching the output end of the locking hydraulic rod is provided on the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod.

The distance sensor is used to detect the downward movement distance of the guide column, and when the maximum downward movement distance is detected, it feeds back to the control unit that controls the locking hydraulic rod, so that it retracts the locking hydraulic rod.

[0012] Optionally, the return spring is a high-strength anti-fatigue spring structure, and the return spring has an elastic force that drives the guide column to move upward and away from the lower base.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0019] (1) The present invention adopts a structural design of a stop mechanism with a lower base, a rotating seat, a lever, a slide column, a guide column, a reset spring, a transmission force arm, a stop block, a first friction plate, a right-angle connecting rod, a stop plate, an arc groove, a second friction plate, and a ramp groove. In actual use, when the push-rudder mechanism loses control and pushes the rudder to rotate to an extreme angle, the stop plate rotates with the rudder shaft, causing the slide column to relatively move from the arc groove to the ramp groove, causing the slide column to rise as the depth of the ramp groove decreases, thereby driving the lever to rotate with the rotating seat as the rotation point, and the guide column at the other end of the lever overcomes the reset spring. The elastic force of the spring moves downward, and then the transmission of the transmission arm is used to push the stop block and approach the second friction plate of the stop plate. When the sliding column moves up to the limit position, on the one hand, the sliding column and the side of the ramp groove are matched to achieve the initial stopping of the stop plate. On the other hand, the first friction plate and the second friction plate are matched to achieve the stopping operation of the stop plate, so that when the limit switch of the push-rudder mechanism fails, a simple mechanical structure can be used for reliable and safe stopping to achieve the purpose of protecting the ship. The present invention adopts a purely mechanical structure design, operates safely, reliably and timely, has market prospects, and is suitable for promotion and application.

[0020] (2) Through the design of a locking hydraulic rod with a distance sensor, when the stop mechanism triggers the stop plate of the rudder, the guide column on the lever overcomes the elastic force of the return spring and moves downward. At this time, the distance sensor detects that the guide column has moved down to the maximum distance, that is, when the rudder rotates beyond the limit to the maximum node, the control unit of the locking hydraulic rod receives the feedback signal of the distance sensor, retracts the locking hydraulic rod, and its output end is disengaged from the docking hole, thereby unlocking the limit block, and the limit block slides freely on the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod, so that the out-of-control output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod will no longer push the push-rudder seat during operation, thereby protecting the push-rudder mechanism from overload damage and reducing the safety of the overall rudder mechanism.

[0021] (3) Through the curvature design of the ramp groove and the arc groove, the rudder pushing mechanism has a larger steering range. When the limit switch of the rudder pushing mechanism fails, that is, when the rudder pushing mechanism pushes the rudder to the maximum angle, the rudder pushing operation is still carried out. At this time, the slide column is located at the connection node of the ramp groove and the arc groove. During the continuous rudder pushing process when the rudder pushing mechanism is out of control, the slide column is guided upward by the ramp groove and can trigger the stop mechanism in time within a range of two degrees. On the one hand, the stop mechanism can be used to stop the rudder, and on the other hand, the restrictions of the ramp groove and the slide column can be used to limit the steering angle, thereby effectively improving the timeliness and effectiveness of the stop.

[0022] (4) The structural design of the spokes and reinforcing ribs effectively improves the structural strength of the stop plate, upper base, lower base, etc. During the high-intensity stopping process, deformation is not easy to occur, which effectively improves the stopping life. The sliding column design with a steel ball structure and wear-resistant liner makes the sliding column less likely to wear during operation, and effectively reduces the sliding friction, thereby improving the smoothness of the sliding column operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] This application discloses a mechanical stop device for a large rudder angle rudder for ships, please refer to Figure 1-10 , including a stop mechanism 3 and a rudder pushing mechanism 2 which are sequentially arranged on the top of a rudder 1 from bottom to top, the rudder 1 is fixed in the ship steering gear compartment through a rudder frame 11, and a rudder shaft 12 of the rudder 1 is rotatably connected in the rudder frame 11;

[0038] The stop mechanism 3 includes a lower base 31 symmetrically installed in the ship's steering gear compartment, and a rotating base 311 is fixed on the opposite side of the two lower bases 31. A lever 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 311 through a rotating shaft. A sliding column 321 is fixed to one end of the lever 32 away from the lower base 31, and a guide column 322 is fixed to the other end of the lever 32. A guide hole matching the guide column 322 is provided on the lower base 31, and a reset spring 323 is clamped between the guide column 322 and the guide hole. A stopper 34 is provided at the top of the rod 32, and right-angle connecting rods 342 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the stopper 34. The tops of the right-angle connecting rods 342 are rotatably connected to the rotating seat 311 through a rotating shaft. A transmission arm 33 is provided between the stopper 34 and the lever 32. The transmission arm 33 is an L-shaped structure. One end of the transmission arm 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the lever 32 provided with a guide column 322, and the other end of the transmission arm 33 is rotatably connected to a side of the stopper 34 away from the lower base 31.

[0039] A stop plate 35 is fixed between the two lower bases 31 of the rudder shaft 12, and a second friction plate 352 is provided at the bottom of the stop plate 35. The second friction plate 352 is generally in a conical structure, and a first friction plate 341 matching the second friction plate 352 is provided on the stop block 34. An arc groove 351 matching the sliding column 321 is provided at the top of the stop plate 35, and slope grooves 353 that gradually reduce the depth of the arc groove 351 are provided on both sides of the arc groove 351.

[0040] The present invention adopts the structural design of the stop mechanism 3 with a lower base 31, a rotating seat 311, a lever 32, a slide column 321, a guide column 322, a return spring 323, a transmission arm 33, a stop block 34, a first friction plate 341, a right-angle connecting rod 342, a stop plate 35, an arc groove 351, a second friction plate 352, and a ramp groove 353. In actual use, when the push-rudder mechanism 2 loses control and pushes the rudder 1 to rotate to the extreme angle, the stop plate 35 rotates with the rudder shaft 12, so that the slide column 321 is relatively displaced from the arc groove 351 to the ramp groove 353, so that the slide column 321 rises with the decrease in the depth of the ramp groove 353, thereby driving the lever 32 to rotate with the rotating seat 311 as the rotation point, and the lever The guide column 322 at the other end of 32 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 323 and moves downward, and then utilizes the transmission of the transmission arm 33 to push the stop block 34 and approach the second friction plate 352 of the stop plate 35. When the slide column 321 moves up to the limit position, on the one hand, the slide column 321 and the side of the ramp groove 353 are matched to achieve the initial stopping of the stop plate 35. On the other hand, the first friction plate 341 and the second friction plate 352 are matched to achieve the stopping operation of the stop plate 35, so that when the limit switch of the push-rudder mechanism 2 fails, a simple mechanical structure can be used for reliable and safe stopping to achieve the purpose of protecting the ship. The present invention adopts a purely mechanical structure design, operates safely, reliably and timely, has market prospects, and is suitable for promotion and application.

[0041] For clarification, please refer to Figure 3-6 The steering mechanism 2 includes an upper base 21 fixed on the top of the lower base 31, the two upper bases 21 are symmetrically arranged, two groups of fork-type hydraulic rods 23 are fixed between the two upper bases 21, and a steering seat 24 is fixed to the rudder shaft 12 between the two upper bases 21. Both sides of the steering seat 24 are provided with steering grooves 241 matching the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23, and the steering groove 241 is provided with a through limiting groove 242, and a limiting block 25 is provided in the limiting groove 242. The limiting block 25 is provided with a socket hole 251 matching the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23, and the limiting block 25 is socketed through the socket hole 251 and fixed on the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23.

[0042] For details, please refer to Figure 4-6A locking hydraulic rod 26 is fixed to the top of the limit block 25, and the output end of the locking hydraulic rod 26 passes through the limit block 25 and extends into the socket hole 251. A docking hole matching the output end of the locking hydraulic rod 26 is provided on the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23. A distance sensor 22 is fixed to one side of the upper base 21, and the detection end of the distance sensor 22 is arranged opposite to the top of the guide column 322. The distance sensor 22 is used to detect the downward movement distance of the guide column 322, and when the maximum downward movement distance is detected, it is fed back to the control unit that controls the locking hydraulic rod 26 to retract the locking hydraulic rod 26.

[0043] Through the design of the locking hydraulic rod 26 with the distance sensor 22, when the stopping mechanism 3 triggers the stopping plate 35 of the stopping rudder 1, the guide column 322 on the lever 32 overcomes the elastic force of the reset spring 323 and moves downward. At this time, the distance sensor 22 detects that the guide column 322 moves down to the maximum distance, that is, when the rudder 1 exceeds the limit rotation maximum node, the control unit of the locking hydraulic rod 26 receives the feedback signal of the distance sensor 22, retracts the locking hydraulic rod 26, and disengages its output end from the docking hole, thereby unlocking the limit block 25, and the limit block 25 slides freely on the output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23, so that the out-of-control output end of the fork-type hydraulic rod 23 will no longer push the steering seat 24 during operation, thereby protecting the steering mechanism 2 from overload damage and reducing the safety of the overall mechanism of the rudder 1.

[0044] Specifically, the return spring 323 is a high-strength anti-fatigue spring structure, and has an elastic force to drive the guide column 322 to move upward and away from the lower base 31. When the guide column 322 moves upward to the maximum distance, the bottom of the sliding column 321 contacts the bottom of the arc groove 351.

[0045] Specifically, the arc groove 351 has an arc angle of ninety degrees, and the slope groove 353 is an arc extension groove of the arc groove 351 in the horizontal plane. The total arc angle of the slope groove 353 and the arc groove 351 is ninety-four degrees, that is, the arc angle of the slope groove 353 on both sides of the arc groove 351 is two degrees. The steering mechanism 2 pushes the rudder 1 to rotate within a range of forty-five degrees on the port side and forty-five degrees on the starboard side.

[0046] The curvature design of the slope groove 353 and the arc groove 351 allows the steering mechanism 2 to have a larger steering range. When the limit switch of the steering mechanism 2 fails, that is, when the steering mechanism 2 pushes the rudder to the maximum angle, it still pushes the rudder. At this time, the sliding column 321 is located at the connection node of the slope groove 353 and the arc groove 351. During the continuous steering process when the steering mechanism 2 is out of control, the sliding column 321 is guided upward by the slope groove 353, and can timely trigger the stopping mechanism 3 within a range of two degrees. On the one hand, the stopping mechanism 3 is used to stop the rudder 1, and on the other hand, the restrictions of the slope groove 353 and the sliding column 321 can be used to limit the steering angle, thereby effectively improving the timeliness and effectiveness of the stopping.

[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 4-10 The stop plate 35 and the rudder shaft 12 are reinforced by the spokes 354, and the spokes 354 are in a cross-shaped structure. A plurality of corresponding reinforcing ribs are arranged between the upper base 21 and the lower base 31. The upper base 21 and the lower base 31 are welded and fixed to the hull structure of the ship's steering gear compartment. Wear-resistant pads are welded and fixed between the outer wall of the sliding column 321 and the groove wall of the arc groove 351, and the bottom of the sliding column 321 is rotatably connected to the steel ball structure.

[0048] The structural design of the spokes 354 and the reinforcing ribs effectively improves the structural strength of the stop plate 35, the upper base 21, the lower base 31, etc., and is less likely to deform during the high-intensity stopping process, thereby effectively improving the stopping life. The design of the sliding column 321 with a steel ball structure and a wear-resistant liner makes the sliding column 321 less likely to wear during operation, and effectively reduces the sliding friction, thereby improving the smoothness of the operation of the sliding column 321.

[0049] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed in the present application according to the technical solution and its improved conception, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
