Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship engineering, and in particular to a novel ship wake vortex control and unit cooling system and an operation method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the accelerated development of economic globalization, the contradiction between the rapidly developing international economic trade and the increasingly tense global energy has become more prominent. Therefore, high-performance green ship technology with high efficiency and stability as the main design goals has become a new direction for the development of world ships. At present, propeller propulsion and water jet propulsion are the main methods of ship propulsion. The propeller propulsion system is widely used in various types of ships because of its mature technology and stable operation, while water jet propulsion generates thrust by spraying water through a water pump. Due to its high efficiency and maneuverability advantages, it is widely used in the field of military and civilian high-speed and high-performance ships.

[0003] The key components of the propeller propulsion system include the propeller, shaft system and drive motor. The design of the propeller is crucial to the propulsion efficiency, while the design of the shaft system and motor affects the stability and reliability of the entire propulsion system. The key components of the water jet propulsion system include the water inlet flow channel, propulsion pump and steering reverse mechanism. The water cone guides the water flow in the water jet propulsion device to form a concentrated high-speed jet, thereby improving the propulsion efficiency.

[0004] In the propeller propulsion system, the hub vortex is a common hydraulic instability problem during the navigation of the ship. The hub vortex of the propeller-propelled ship occurs in the low-pressure area formed at the root of the propeller. It is caused by the interaction between the high pressure of the surrounding water flow and the low pressure in this area. Similarly, the waterjet propulsion system also faces the problem of hub vortex, which occurs in the negative pressure area at the tail of the water cone of the waterjet propulsion nozzle. Whether it is a propeller-propelled ship or a waterjet-propelled ship, the hub vortex occurs and develops at the tail of the ship. It is the main component of the ship's tail vortex. Its occurrence and development not only affects the working efficiency of the propulsion system, but also has an adverse effect on the stability of the propulsion system.

[0005] In addition, whether it is water jet propulsion or propeller propulsion, the drive motor runs for a long time in the closed environment inside the ship, which easily causes the motor to overheat and shortens its service life. Although traditional motor cooling methods can provide a certain degree of cooling effect, it is often difficult to achieve efficient heat exchange, resulting in uneven motor cooling, which may damage the performance and service life of the motor. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a new type of ship wake vortex control and unit cooling system and operation method, which optimizes the wake vortex flow control and improves the cooling efficiency and service life of the motor through the water flow power system, thereby improving the propulsion efficiency and achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the ship propulsion system.

[0007] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a new type of ship wake vortex control and unit cooling system, including a water inlet flow channel arranged on a ship deck, the water inlet flow channel is connected to a propulsion pump, the propulsion pump includes an impeller and a guide vane, a nozzle is connected to the rear end of the propulsion pump, a drive motor is arranged on the ship deck, the motor shaft of the drive motor is connected to a pump shaft, the pump shaft extends to the inside of the propulsion pump and is connected to the impeller in a transmission manner, a water guide cone is also arranged in the nozzle, a circular hole is opened at the tip of the water guide cone, a wireless electromagnetic valve 1 is arranged in the circular hole, the wireless electromagnetic valve 1 is connected to a pressure sensor core body symmetrically arranged up and down and is controlled by the pressure sensor core body, a bionic flexible cavity is arranged inside the water guide cone, one end of the bionic flexible cavity is connected to the circular hole, and the other end is connected to a cooling water pipe, and a wireless electromagnetic valve 2 is also arranged at the junction of the bionic flexible cavity and the cooling water pipe.

[0008] When the present invention is working, it optimizes the water flow power efficiency at the tip of the water guide cone to reduce the wake vortex loss, and uses cooling water pipes to circulate and cool key components such as bearings and motors of the ship, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and service life of the motor.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: by installing a wireless solenoid valve in the low-pressure area formed at the tip of the water guide cone, the water flow is accurately controlled. The water flows through the wake vortex generation area, breaks the original water body structure, reduces the generation of wake vortex, reduces the vibration and noise of the ship, improves the navigation stability of the ship, and cools the key components of the ship such as bearings and motors through cooling water pipes, which not only improves the cooling efficiency, but also helps to extend the service life of these components, thereby achieving energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the water guide cone is hollow, and the shell thickness of the water guide cone is 1 / 10 to 1 / 20 of the diameter of the bottom of the water guide cone; the thickness of the water guide cone shell is controlled to ensure the reliability and rigidity of the water guide cone structure, and also to prevent the reduction of power efficiency and increase of manufacturing cost due to excessive wall thickness.

[0011] Furthermore, a shaft sealing device is provided at the junction of the water inlet channel and the pump shaft, the pump shaft is connected to the motor shaft through a coupling, the pump shaft and the motor shaft are made of stainless steel, and the diameter ratio of the pump shaft to the motor shaft is controlled to be 0.5~0.9 respectively; the pump shaft and the motor shaft are hollow shafts made of stainless steel, and have strength and rigidity. The diameter ratio of the pump shaft to the motor shaft is calculated by the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the pump shaft and the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the motor shaft respectively. Controlling the diameter ratio of the pump shaft to the motor shaft can ensure strength and rigidity while avoiding the influence of excessive thickness of the pipe shaft on cooling efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0012] Furthermore, the cooling water pipe is arranged in the hollow tube of the pump shaft and the motor shaft, and passes through the driving motor and is connected to the ship deck through a connecting flange that is fastened with bolts and sealed with a gasket. The outlet of the cooling water pipe is connected to the bottom of the ship. The cooling water pipe is made of stainless steel, and the ratio of the outer diameter to the wall thickness of the cooling water pipe is less than 80 to ensure the corrosion resistance and sufficient structural strength of the cooling water pipe; there is a gap between the outer wall of the cooling water pipe and the inner wall of the pump shaft and the motor shaft, and the size of the gap is not less than 1 / 10~1 / 8 of the diameter of the cooling water pipe, so that the friction between the cooling water pipe and the pump shaft and the motor shaft can be reduced, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the cooling pipeline.

[0013] Furthermore, the bionic flexible cavity is made of flexible materials such as silicone, and the flexible material is not easily damaged when the bionic flexible cavity is repeatedly contracted, expanded and deformed, thereby extending the service life.

[0014] A novel operation method of a ship wake vortex control and unit cooling system, comprising: in an initial state, a bionic flexible cavity is in a contracted state, a cavity is in a vacuum state, and both a wireless electromagnetic valve 1 and a wireless electromagnetic valve 2 are closed; when a water jet propulsion device propels a ship to sail, a wake vortex is easily generated behind a water guide cone, and before the formation of the wake vortex, a significant low-pressure area is formed around the tip of the water guide cone; at this time, a pressure sensor core captures a negative pressure signal, controls the wireless electromagnetic valve 1 to open, and the high-pressure water behind the water guide cone continuously enters the low-pressure area at the tip of the cone, and enters the bionic flexible cavity through the wireless electromagnetic valve, the interior of the bionic flexible cavity begins to slowly expand due to water inflow, and when the negative pressure area at the tip of the water guide cone disappears, the wireless electromagnetic valve 1 is closed, and at this time the bionic flexible cavity is in an expanded and deformed state; After the wireless solenoid valve 1 is completely closed, the wireless solenoid valve 2 is opened. The bionic flexible cavity is compressed by the material and begins to press the water in the cavity into the cooling water pipe through the wireless solenoid valve, gradually cooling the shaft sealing device, coupling and drive motor.
