[0067] The embodiment of the present application is a propulsion operation system for a ship, the ship includes an engine room, the engine room includes a first pod, a second pod and a shaft-propeller unit, and the propulsion operation system includes: a common control module, a first pod control module, a second pod control module and a shaft-propeller control module connected in a ring network in sequence; wherein the common control module is used to send a control signal; the first pod control module is used to respond to the control signal to control the first pod; the second pod control module is used to respond to the control signal to control the second pod; the shaft-propeller control module is used to respond to the control signal to control the shaft-propeller unit. In this way, by setting the common control module, the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft-propeller control module, the control of the diesel-electric propulsion power system is achieved, and the safety of ship operation is improved.

[0068] Accordingly, the present application embodiment provides a propulsion operation method for a ship, the ship includes a cabin, the cabin includes a first pod, a second pod and a shaft propeller unit, and the propulsion operation method is applied to a propulsion operating system such as any one of the above embodiments, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The flowchart of a propulsion operation method for a ship provided in an embodiment of the present application is illustrated. The propulsion operation method includes steps 101 to 103.

[0069] Step 101, obtain the operating status of the common control module, the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module. Specifically, the control of ship propulsion in the present application is completed based on multiple ship control modules, and the control module refers to the common control module, the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module. Therefore, before performing the propulsion operation of the ship, it is necessary to first confirm the operating status of the above-mentioned control modules to ensure that the subsequent control steps are accurately executed, avoid misoperation of the ship propulsion, and improve the safety of ship operation. In addition, it can be understood that for a ship including multiple pods and multiple shaft propeller units in the engine room, multiple control modules can be set up accordingly for control, and before performing the propulsion operation of the ship, it is also necessary to first confirm the operating status of each control module.

[0070] Step 102, in response to the operating state being the first operating state, obtain a control signal issued by the common control module; wherein the first operating state is configured as the common control module, the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module are all operating normally. Specifically, the control signal issued by the common control module is a common signal. When all control modules are operating normally, common control is performed through control signals, which can ensure that all control modules related to ship propulsion control can cooperate with each other, reduce the impact of a control module failure on ship propulsion control, and ensure the stability of ship propulsion through the coordinated work of various control modules.

[0071] Step 103, in response to the control signal, the first pod is controlled by the first pod control module, the second pod is controlled by the second pod control module, and the shaft-propeller unit is controlled by the shaft-propeller control module to complete the propulsion of the ship. In this way, by using each control module to control the first pod, the second pod and the shaft-propeller unit respectively, that is, different control modules are responsible for the control of different parts of the ship's engine room, and the propulsion of the ship is precisely controlled to ensure the balance of propulsion force and the stability of the ship. Secondly, different control modules are used to independently control the first pod, the second pod and the shaft-propeller unit to enhance the maneuverability of the ship's propulsion and flexibly realize various maneuverable actions such as forward, backward, left turn and right turn of the ship. In addition, dividing the propulsion control of the ship into different control modules can realize redundant control. Even if one control module fails, other control modules can still continue to provide propulsion force, improve the overall performance of the ship, and achieve the best ship propulsion effect.

[0072] In some embodiments, the propulsion operation method for a ship further includes steps 201 to 204 .

[0073] Step 201, in response to the operating state being the second operating state, a first handle position signal is obtained through the second panel area, and a second handle position signal is obtained through the third panel area, and a third handle position signal is obtained through the fourth panel area; wherein the second operating state is configured as a common control module failure, and the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module are operating normally. Specifically, when the common control module fails to work properly, the common control module cannot send a control signal, that is, the control signal is invalid, but the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module still work properly, and the ship propulsion needs to be controlled by the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module. Therefore, it is necessary to first obtain the handle position signal of the corresponding panel area to control the ship propulsion. In an embodiment of the present application, by associating the handle position signal with the corresponding control module, a more intuitive operation method is provided to flexibly adjust the propulsion method and improve operability and human-computer interaction.

[0074] Step 202, in response to the first handle position signal, the first pod is controlled by the first pod control module; step 203, in response to the second handle position signal, the second pod is controlled by the second pod control module; step 204, in response to the third handle position signal, the shaft propeller unit is controlled by the shaft propeller control module to complete the propulsion of the ship. Specifically, by responding to the first handle position signal, the second handle position signal and the third handle position signal respectively, the first pod, the second pod and the shaft propeller unit are independently controlled to flexibly adjust the positions and movements of the first pod, the second pod and the shaft propeller unit according to actual needs, thereby realizing the ship's forward, backward, left turn and right turn and other diversified maneuverability actions, enhancing the flexibility of ship propulsion, and optimizing the ship's propulsion efficiency.

[0075] In some embodiments, the propulsion operation method for a ship further includes step 301 and step 302 .

[0076] Step 301, in response to the operating state being the third operating state, obtain a control signal; wherein the third operating state is configured as the common control module operating normally, and at least any one of the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module fails. Step 302, in response to the control signal, complete the propulsion of the ship through the control module that has not failed. In this way, even if one or more of the control modules among the first pod control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module fails, as long as there is a control module operating normally, redundant control of the ship's propulsion can still be achieved, so that the ship still has a certain propulsion capability to maintain navigation, thereby improving the safety of the ship's navigation.

[0077] Specifically, when the third operating state is that the common control module, the second pod control module and the shaft propeller control module are operating normally, and the first pod control module fails, the propulsion operating system loses the control authority of the first pod due to the failure of the first pod control module, and the first pod automatically stops operating. At this time, the common control module sends a control signal, responds to the control signal, controls the second pod through the second pod control module, and controls the shaft propeller through the shaft propeller control module to complete the propulsion of the ship.

[0078] When the third operating state is that the common control module, the first pod control module and the shaft propeller control module are operating normally, and the second pod control module fails, the propulsion operating system loses the control authority of the second pod due to the failure of the second pod control module, and the second pod automatically stops operating. At this time, the common control module sends a control signal, responds to the control signal, controls the first pod through the first pod control module, and controls the shaft propeller through the shaft propeller control module to complete the propulsion of the ship.

[0079] When the third operating state is that the common control module, the first pod control module and the second pod control module are operating normally, and the propeller control module fails, the propulsion operating system loses the control authority of the propeller unit due to the failure of the propeller control module, and the propeller unit automatically stops operating. At this time, the common control module sends a control signal, responds to the control signal, controls the first pod through the first pod control module, and controls the second pod through the second pod control module to complete the propulsion of the ship.
