Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a ship propeller, in particular to a combined pump-jet propeller. Background Art
[0002] Pump-jet propulsion for ships is a propulsion method that generates thrust by ejecting water from a nozzle at high speed. It is usually composed of components such as a pump, a nozzle, a control valve, and a transmission mechanism. First, water enters the pump from the surrounding environment, is compressed and enters the nozzle, and is finally ejected at high speed, thereby generating a reaction force to drive the ship's movement. Unlike traditional propeller propulsion, water jet propulsion can achieve more flexible movement by controlling the water flow rate and injection angle. Water jet propulsion has the advantages of energy saving, sensitive response, and low noise. It only requires a small amount of water inlet pipes to complete the hull propulsion, and can output greater thrust, making it suitable for various types of ships.
[0003] Existing pump-jet propulsion systems are usually equipped with propellers to enhance the propulsion force on the ship, thereby increasing the speed of the ship. However, this combined propulsion system has some shortcomings, such as:
[0004] 1. The propeller requires a large space when working, so the combined propeller is often large in size. In shallow water areas, the propeller is likely to touch the reef, affecting the navigation of the ship, and in serious cases, it may cause damage to the propeller blades;
[0005] 2. The water inlet of the pump-jet propulsion system is prone to the entry of debris, which affects the normal operation of the internal engine and easily causes damage to the rotating blades of the engine. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0032] A combined pump-jet propulsion system, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes a main body 1, a water spray tail pipe 3, a straightening plate 1 4, a pump-jet engine, an auxiliary propeller 8, and a straightening plate 2 10.
[0033] A water inlet chamber 2 is provided inside the main body 1, and a plurality of water inlet holes 7 are provided at circumferential intervals on the outside, which are connected to the water inlet chamber 2, to facilitate the propeller to absorb water. An arc-shaped groove 6 is provided on the outer wall of the main body 1 and on the periphery of each water inlet hole 7. When the propeller moves, water easily forms a circulation when passing through the arc-shaped groove 6, which facilitates the cleaning of the water inlet of the water inlet hole 7 in the arc-shaped groove 6. The number of water inlet holes 7 is 6 to 10, which can prevent the water inlet holes from being blocked at the same time and affecting the operation of the propeller. A filter screen 71 is installed on each water inlet hole 7 to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the device and affecting the operation of the propeller.
[0034] The pump-jet engine and the rectifier plate 10 are respectively installed inside the water inlet chamber 2. The pump-jet engine includes a pump-jet engine stator 51 and an annular rotor 52. The pump-jet engine stator 51 is installed on the inner wall of the water inlet chamber 2, and the annular rotor 52 is arranged on the pump-jet engine stator 51. A plurality of rotor blades 53 are installed at intervals on the inner ring surface of the annular rotor 52. After starting the pump-jet engine, the annular rotor 52 is driven to rotate, and the annular rotor drives the rotor blades 53 to rotate, which is convenient for sucking in water and pressurizing and spraying it out, driving the device to move; the rotor blades 53 are made of high-strength carbon fiber material, and the high-strength carbon fiber plate has multiple excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, high rigidity, high wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. It can not only improve the service life of the rotor blades 53, but also reduce the weight of the rotor blades 53, increase the rotation speed of the rotor blades 53, and increase the power of the propeller. A rectifier plate 2 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water inlet chamber 2. A plurality of rectifier plates 10 are arranged at intervals on the inner circle of the water inlet chamber 2 and are located in front of the water inlet of the pump-jet engine to rectify the inhaled water and facilitate subsequent rotation and pressurization of the water.
[0035] The water spray tail pipe 3 is installed at the tail end of the main body 1 and is connected to the water inlet chamber 2. The rectifying plate 4 is installed inside the water spray tail pipe 3 and close to its end. The interior of the water spray tail pipe 3 is provided with a frustum-shaped pressurized pipe cavity 31. The large end of the pressurized pipe cavity 31 is connected to the water inlet chamber 2, and the small end is provided with an interconnected water outlet pipe port 32. The rectifying plate 4 is installed in the water outlet pipe port 32. The rectifying plate 4 is a M-shaped structure, which is convenient for rectifying and injecting the water and pushing the device to move.
[0036] Auxiliary propellers 8 are mounted in pairs, axially symmetrically and spaced apart, on the outer circumference of the main body 1. For example, a pair of auxiliary propellers 8 are provided, i.e., a symmetrically arranged auxiliary propeller 8 is mounted on opposite sides of the main body 1. These propellers 8 assist the pump-jet propulsion system, enhancing the propulsion force on the vessel and thereby increasing the vessel's speed. Auxiliary propellers 8 include a connecting block 81, a transmission member, a telescopic rod 82, and a propeller 83. The connecting block 81 is connected to the main body 1. The propeller 83 is connected to one side of the connecting block 81 via two parallel, spaced-apart telescopic rods 82. The transmission member is mounted within the connecting block 81, and its transmission portion is hingedly connected to the outer side of the propeller 83. The transmission parts include a waterproof motor 85, a threaded rod 86, a threaded block 87, and a guide rod 88. An installation cavity 84 is opened inside the connecting block 81, and a slide groove 89 connected to the installation cavity 84 is also provided on one side of the connecting block 81. The waterproof motor 85 is installed inside the installation cavity 84. One end of the threaded rod 86 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 84, and the other end is connected to the output end of the waterproof motor 85. The threaded block 87 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded rod 86. One end of the guide rod 88 is hinged to the threaded block 87, and the other end passes through the slide groove 89 and is hinged to the surface of the propeller propeller 83.
[0037] When working in the open sea, the waterproof motor 85 is started to drive the threaded rod 86 to rotate. The threaded rod 86 rotates by itself to drive the threaded block 87 to move. The threaded block 87 drives the guide rod 88 to move. The guide rod 88 drives the propeller propeller 83 to move, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the propeller propeller 83 and the main body 1 to ensure the normal operation of the propeller propeller 83. When the propeller moves to the front sea or the shore, the propeller propeller 83 is turned off, and then the waterproof motor 85 is started in reverse to drive the propeller propeller 83 close to the main body 1, reducing the space required for the entire device, preventing the propeller from touching the reef, affecting the navigation of the ship, and preventing the blades of the propeller propeller 83 from being damaged.
[0038] In order to further accelerate the water flow rate on the outer surface of the main body 1, as Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the propeller further includes a cleaning engine embedded in the main body 1. The cleaning engine includes an interconnected engine stator 91 and an engine rotor 92. The outer surface of the engine rotor 92 is fixedly mounted with a plurality of blades, which are sequentially spaced and arranged in a circle around the outer circumference of the main body 1. By starting the cleaning engine, the flow rate of water on the outer surface of the main body 1 can be accelerated, facilitating further cleaning of the water inlet of the water inlet hole 7 and the filter 71, thereby ensuring the patency of the water inlet.
[0039] The working principle of this combined pump-jet propeller is as follows: after starting the pump-jet engine, it drives the annular rotor 52 to rotate, and the annular rotor drives the rotor blades 53 to rotate, which is convenient for sucking in water and pressurizing and spraying it out, driving the device to move. The rotor blades 53 are made of high-strength carbon fiber material. The high-strength carbon fiber plate has many excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, high rigidity, high wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. It can not only improve the service life of the rotor blades 53, but also reduce the weight of the rotor blades 53, increase the rotation speed of the rotor blades 53, and increase the power of the propeller. There are two auxiliary propellers 8, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the main body 1 to assist the work of the pump-jet propeller, enhance the propulsion force on the ship, and thus speed up the ship's travel speed. When working in the open sea, by starting the waterproof motor 85, the threaded rod 86 is driven to rotate. The threaded rod 86 rotates by itself, drives the threaded block 87 to move, the threaded block 87 drives the guide rod 88 to move, and the guide rod 88 drives the propeller propeller 83 to move, which is convenient for adjusting the propeller propeller 8 3 and the main body 1 to ensure the normal operation of the propeller propeller 83. When the propeller moves to the front sea or the shore, the propeller propeller 83 is turned off, and then the waterproof motor 85 is started in reverse to drive the propeller propeller 83 close to the main body 1, reducing the space required for the entire device, preventing the propeller from touching the reef, affecting the navigation of the ship, and preventing the blades of the propeller propeller 83 from being damaged. There are six to ten water inlet holes 7 to prevent the water inlet holes from being blocked at the same time and affecting the operation of the propeller. The water inlet holes 7 are all provided with arc-shaped grooves 6 at the water inlet. When the propeller moves, water flows through the arc-shaped grooves 6 to easily form a circulation, which facilitates the cleaning of the water inlet of the water inlet hole 7 in the arc-shaped groove 6. A filter screen 71 is installed inside the water inlet hole 7 to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the device and affecting the operation of the propeller. By starting the cleaning engine, the water flow rate on the outer surface of the main body 1 can be accelerated, which facilitates further cleaning of the water inlet of the water inlet hole 7 and the filter screen 71 to ensure the smooth flow of the water inlet.
