Detailed Implementation
[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the oil distribution slip ring feedback device for adjustable pitch rudder propellers in this embodiment includes a moving ring 1, a fixed ring 2, a first guide rod 3 fixed on the moving ring 1, a second guide rod 4 fixed on the fixed ring 2, an inner ring 6 sleeved on the first guide rod 3, an outer ring 7 sleeved on the second guide rod 4, and a first bearing 8 disposed between the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7. The length extension directions of the first guide rod 3 and the second guide rod 4 are the same.
[0028] A receiving ring is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the moving ring 1. The outer diameter of the inner ring 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the receiving ring, and the inner ring 6 can be accommodated in the receiving ring. A stepped part is provided below the receiving ring, and three first guide rods 3 are evenly spaced on the stepped part.
[0029] In this embodiment, one portion of the outer ring 7 extends horizontally outward to form an extension plate 23. The extension plate 23 and the outer ring 7 are located on the same horizontal plane. The second guide rod 4 passes through the extension plate 23. The outer ring 7 is fixed to the lower end of the feedback rod 10, and the inner ring 6 is fixed to the upper end of the push-pull rod 9. The inner ring 6 is fixed to the inner ring of the first bearing 8, and the outer ring 7 is fixed to the outer ring of the first bearing 8. The inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7 can rotate independently through the first bearing 8. The first bearing 8 is a ball bearing.
[0030] The axes of the moving ring 1 and the fixed ring 2 coincide. The moving ring 1 is fitted inside the fixed ring 2 and can rotate along its axis on the fixed ring 2. The moving ring 1 is fixedly connected to the rudder tube of the adjustable pitch propeller. A second bearing 5 is provided between the inner ring 6 and the first guide rod 3. The second bearing 5 is used to allow the inner ring 6 to slide up and down along the first guide rod 3 under the action of the push-pull rod 9. The second bearing 5 is a linear bearing.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the inner ring 6 has a first mounting hole for fixing the second bearing 5. The second bearing 5 is fixed in the first mounting hole, and the inner ring 6 is fixed to the outside of the second bearing 5. The length of the second bearing 5 is greater than the thickness of the inner ring 6. The upper and lower surfaces of the inner ring 6 are provided with first retaining plates 12. The outer wall of the second bearing 5 has a first retaining groove. The inner side of the first retaining plate 12 engages with the first retaining groove to fix the second bearing 5 to the inner ring 6.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a sliding sleeve 13 is fitted onto the second guide rod 4. The sliding sleeve 13 is fixed to the outer ring 7. The sliding sleeve 13 includes a limiting part 131 and a guiding part 132. The size of the limiting part 131 is larger than the size of the guiding part 132. The limiting part 131 is located on the upper surface of the outer ring 7. A second slot is provided at the bottom of the guiding part 132. A second locking plate 20 is provided on the lower surface of the outer ring 7. The inner side of the second locking plate 20 engages with the second slot to fix the sliding sleeve 13 to the inner ring 6.
[0033] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown in Figure -8, a first oil cavity 14 and a second oil cavity 15 are provided between the moving ring 1 and the fixed ring 2. The fixed ring 2 has a first connecting hole 16 and a second connecting hole 17 that penetrate its wall thickness. The moving ring 1 has a first channel 18 and a second channel 19. The first connecting hole 16 and the first channel 18 communicate with the first oil cavity 14, and the second connecting hole 17 and the second channel 19 communicate with the second oil cavity 15, thus achieving oil circuit communication. Correspondingly, multiple sealing rings 11 are provided between the moving ring 1 and the fixed ring 2. Sealing rings 11 are provided on both sides of the oil cavity, preferably rotating Glyd rings. That is, in this embodiment, the oil distributor moving ring 1 and the oil distributor fixed ring 2 are equipped with three seals. The first oil cavity 14 is formed between the first seal and the second seal, and the second oil cavity 15 is formed between the second seal and the third seal.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 3 As shown in Figure 8, the height of the moving ring 1 is greater than the height of the fixed ring 2. The bottom of the moving ring 1 extends outward to form a boss 22. A third slot 24 is provided on the top of the moving ring 1. A matching third slot 21 is provided on the third slot 24. The fixed ring 2 is located between the third slot 21 and the boss 22, which effectively prevents the fixed ring 2 from coming off when rotating and maintains stable rotation.
[0035] The slip ring feedback mechanism is installed above the rudder tube of the adjustable pitch rudder propeller, mainly performing the functions of rotational slip ring distribution and pitch feedback. Its basic operating principle is as follows: The moving ring 1 of the slip ring is fixed to the rudder tube with screws. Three first guide rods 3 are fixed on the moving ring 1. Three first mounting holes are opened on the inner ring 6. The first guide rods 3 pass through the first mounting holes, fixing the inner ring 6, the first guide rods 3, and the moving ring 1, and causing them to rotate together with the rudder. The outer ring 7 is inserted into the corresponding pin hole of the fixed ring 2 of the slip ring through the second guide rod 4 to prevent the outer ring 7 from rotating, but it can move up and down along the second guide rod 4.
[0036] Meanwhile, linear bearings are installed in the first mounting holes, and the linear bearings are sleeved on the first guide rod 3, so that the inner ring 6 can slide up and down along the first guide rod 3 under the action of the push-pull rod 9.
[0037] The inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7 are connected by a thin-walled ball bearing. The inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7 can rotate independently. When the inner ring 6 rotates with the moving ring 1, the outer ring 7 can remain stationary. At the same time, since both the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7 are connected to the thin-walled ball bearing, when the inner ring 6 slides up and down along the first guide rod 3 under the action of the push-pull rod 9, the outer ring 7 also moves accordingly, ultimately transmitting the action value to the feedback rod 10.
[0038] The following is a brief description of the working process of the oil distribution slip ring feedback device in this embodiment:
[0039] When the propeller rotates, the rudder tube and the moving ring 1 always rotate. Driven by the first guide rod 3, the inner ring 6 rotates synchronously, while the outer ring 7 and the extension plate 23 remain stationary with respect to the fixed ring 2, fixed by the second guide rod 4. Furthermore, because a ball bearing is installed between the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7, the inner ring 6 rotates while the outer ring 7 remains stationary. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 In the diagram, the middle dashed box represents the rotating part, while the dashed boxes on either side represent the stationary part.
[0040] When the vehicle is accelerating, the first oil chamber 14 fills with oil, and the second oil chamber 15 returns oil. The push-pull rod 9 drives the feedback rod 10 to move downwards, providing feedback on the forward driving signal. When the vehicle is reversing and accelerating, the opposite occurs. When the push-pull rod 9 moves up and down, it pulls the inner ring 6 up and down. Since both the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 7 are fixed to the ball bearing, the inner ring 6 rotates while the outer ring 7 remains stationary. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the first guide rod 3 and the linear bearing, and the second guide rod 4 and the sliding sleeve 13, the up-and-down movement of the inner ring 6 drives the outer ring 7 to move up and down synchronously, thereby transmitting the action value to the feedback rod 10.
[0041] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
