[0002] The rudder bearing is a general term for a bearing device fixed on the hull to support the rudder. It is used to support the weight of the rudder stock and the rudder and ensure the watertightness of the hull. The connection with the rudder bearing ensures that the rudder blade can rotate with the rudder stock so as to control the turning and driving direction of the ship. When installing the existing rudder bearing, the rudder stock is inserted into the rudder bearing, and a bottom sealing cover is arranged at the bottom of the rudder bearing to maintain the seal with the rudder stock. A sealing filler and a pressure plate are arranged inside the bottom sealing cover. The sealing filler is sealed to the rudder stock and the bottom sealing cover through the extrusion of the pressure plate, so that the sealing effect is achieved. However, due to the long-term rotation of the rudder stock, the rudder stock will rub against the sealing filler for a long time, so that the sealing filler is deformed, and then the sealing effect is reduced, so that water enters the interior and corrodes the internal parts. Although the amount of water entering is not large, a large amount of water will enter due to long-term accumulation.
