Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship drag reduction, and in particular to a ship gas drag reduction device and a drag reduction method. Background Art

[0002] Speed ​​is an important indicator to measure the performance of ships and underwater vehicles. Under the same input power, the speed is closely related to the resistance they encounter. The resistance encountered by ships and underwater vehicles is composed of three parts: friction resistance, pressure difference resistance and wave-making resistance, among which friction resistance accounts for the largest proportion.

[0003] In order to reduce the friction resistance between the ship and the water body during the driving process, the current mainstream drag reduction methods include groove drag reduction and gas drag reduction. For example, a Chinese patent (Announcement No.: CN 208602639 U) discloses an air film drag reduction device, which is firstly provided with a bubble generating device, and secondly provided with a ventilation pipe network and a jet hole. During the driving process of the hull, bubbles are introduced into the ventilation pipe network through the bubble generating device, and the bubbles are sprayed through the jet hole to form an air film layer between the bottom of the hull and the water body, thereby reducing the navigation resistance of the ship.

[0004] However, it still has some shortcomings. The ventilation pipe network is located at the bottom of the hull and is therefore immersed in the water body. The water body is a complex environment. The ventilation pipe network will slowly grow some aquatic plants when immersed in the water body for a long time. If these aquatic plants are not cleaned, they will block the jet holes, thereby making the bubbles ejected from the ventilation network pipe uneven, which is not conducive to the formation of a bubble film to reduce the drag of the hull, reducing the drag reduction effect of the hull and causing certain inconveniences in use.

This type of gas source device is a mature and public technology in the prior art. Therefore, the structure and working principle of the gas source device are not described in detail in this article.

The two groups of straight grooves 7 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the transverse groove 6. Such a structure is conducive to the bubble plate 4 to produce a uniform bubble film, so as to utilize the bubble film to reduce the friction between the hull 1 and the water body. A connecting pipe connected to the transverse groove 6 is fixed on the bubble plate 4, and the connection and disconnection with the air source device is facilitated by the connecting pipe.

[0038] See also Figure 5 In order to facilitate the removal of the bubble plate 4, in this embodiment, the limiting assembly 5 includes two connecting plates 501 respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 2, the bottom surface of the U-shaped plate 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 502 distributed left and right, the bottom surface of the bubble plate 4 and near the left side is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 503 distributed left and right, the top surface of the connecting plate 501 is slidably connected with a connecting rod 504 with a bottom end penetrating the connecting plate 501 and extending to the bottom thereof, the bottom end of the connecting rod 504 is fixed with a supporting plate 505, and the top surface of the supporting plate 505 is fixed with a plurality of left-distributed The limit blocks 506 are distributed on the right and penetrate multiple through holes 502 respectively. When the bubble plate 4 needs to be removed, the support plate 505 is pulled downward so that the support plate 505 drives the limit blocks 506 to move downward and out of the limit groove 503. At this time, the bubble plate 4 can be removed. The limiting spring 507 is installed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod 504. When the support plate 505 moves downward, it also drives the connecting rod 504 to move downward, and the limiting spring 507 is squeezed by the connecting rod 504, so that when the bubble plate 4 is installed, the limit block 506 is driven to move up for limiting by the limiting spring 507.

[0041] A method for reducing gas drag on a ship, comprising the following steps:

[0042] S1, connecting the bubble plate 4 to the air source device on the hull 1 through the connecting pipe, starting the air source device and controlling the air source device;

[0043] S2, transporting gas into the connecting pipe, so that the gas enters the bubble plate 4 and forms bubbles through the air jet holes 8, and the bubbles gather into an air film at the bottom of the hull 1;

[0044] S3, driving the hull 1 to travel, when the jet hole 8 is blocked, starting the motor 909, the motor 909 drives the scrubbing block 908 to scrub the bottom surface of the bubble plate 4, remove the blockage on the bottom surface of the bubble plate 4, and ensure that a uniform air film can be formed on the bottom of the hull 1;

[0045] S4, after the bubble plate 4 is cleaned, the motor 909 is turned off;

[0046] S5. When the bubble plate 4 is corroded and damaged and needs to be replaced, remove the connection between the connecting pipe and the external air source device, pull down the support plate 505, and the support plate 505 drives the limit block 506 to move down and out of the limit groove 503, and pull out the bubble plate 4 forward for replacement. After replacement, reverse this operation to complete the installation.

[0047] The above steps can effectively ensure that the bubble plate 4 produces a uniform air film, thereby ensuring the drag reduction effect of the hull 1.

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0049] 1. When in use, the bubble plate 4 is connected to an external air source device, and the air source device is controlled to transport gas into the bubble plate 4. The gas forms bubbles through the jet holes 8, and the bubbles gather into an air film at the bottom of the hull 1, thereby reducing the resistance of the hull 1 during driving through the gas. The motor 909 is started, and the motor 909 drives the rotating shaft 911 to rotate. The rotating shaft 911 drives the screw 913 to rotate through the main bevel gear 914 and the slave bevel gear 915. The screw 913 cooperates with the threaded block 912 to drive the bottom plate 904 to move forward and backward. The bottom plate 904 drives the U-shaped frame 906 to move forward and backward through the telescopic rod 905, so that the scrubbing block 908 scrubs the bottom surface of the bubble plate 4 to remove the blockage on the bottom surface of the bubble plate 4.

[0050] 2. When the bubble plate 4 needs to be removed, pull the support plate 505 downward so that the support plate 505 drives the limit block 506 to move downward and out of the limit groove 503. At this time, the bubble plate 4 can be removed. When the support plate 505 moves downward, it also drives the connecting rod 504 to move downward, and the limit spring 507 is squeezed by the connecting rod 504, so that when the bubble plate 4 is installed, the limit block 506 is driven to move upward for limiting through the limit spring 507.

A ship gas drag reduction method for a ship gas drag reduction device according to any one of claims 6 to 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1, connecting the bubble plate (4) to the air source device on the hull (1) through a connecting pipe, starting the air source device and controlling the air source device; S2, delivering gas into the connecting pipe, so that the gas enters the bubble plate (4) and forms bubbles through the air jet holes (8), and the bubbles gather into an air film at the bottom of the hull (1); S3, driving the hull (1) to travel, when the jet hole (8) is blocked, starting the motor (909), the motor (909) drives the scrubbing block (908) to scrub the bottom surface of the bubble plate (4), remove the blockage on the bottom surface of the bubble plate (4), and ensure that a uniform air film can be generated on the bottom of the hull (1); S4, after the bubble plate (4) is cleaned, the motor (909) is turned off; S5. When the bubble plate (4) is corroded and damaged and needs to be replaced, the connection between the connecting pipe and the external air source device is removed, and the support plate (505) is pulled down. The support plate (505) drives the limit block (506) to move down and out of the limit groove (503), and the bubble plate (4) is pulled forward for replacement. After replacement, the installation is completed by reversing this operation.
