Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polar-assisted icebreaking technology, specifically to a polar hot water accelerating jet generator. Background Technology

[0002] Polar icebreaking technology is particularly important against the backdrop of global warming leading to the gradual opening of polar shipping routes. Icebreaking is not only crucial for shipping, scientific research, and resource exploration, but also for safety and environmental protection. Traditional mechanical icebreakers rely on the weight of the hull and impact force to crush the ice, a method that has limitations in terms of icebreaking efficiency and energy consumption, especially when facing extremely thick ice sheets, where the icebreakers' capabilities often prove insufficient.

[0003] In recent years, with technological advancements, assisted icebreaking technologies have gradually gained attention. These technologies, by introducing heating systems and water jet devices, aim to improve the flexibility and efficiency of icebreaking operations. However, in polar environments, existing water jet technologies suffer from unsatisfactory heat exchange efficiency due to the rapid drop in water temperature, failing to fully realize their assisted icebreaking effects. Simultaneously, the stability and continuity of temperature output from traditional heating devices face challenges, complicating their application in extremely cold conditions. Furthermore, some research has attempted to combine electromagnetic heating with water jetting to improve water temperature and jet velocity, but issues such as stable power supply and effective system integration in polar environments still need to be addressed. For icebreakers, this assisted icebreaking technology combining electromagnetic heating and water jetting can improve operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance overall operational safety while maintaining the capabilities of traditional icebreaking methods. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical challenges of existing icebreaking auxiliary technologies, such as the unsatisfactory heat exchange efficiency of water jets in polar environments due to rapid water temperature drops, which prevents them from fully realizing their icebreaking effects, and the challenges of ensuring the stability and continuity of the heating device's temperature output under extremely cold conditions, this invention provides a polar hot water accelerated jet generator. This generator combines heated jets with electromagnetic acceleration, which is then accelerated and ejected through a jet nozzle. It aims to provide icebreakers with auxiliary icebreaking capabilities, thereby improving their icebreaking efficiency and operational safety in complex polar environments, and promoting the development and utilization of polar waterways.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A polar hot water accelerating jet generator includes a jet precursor, a jet nozzle at the front end of the jet precursor, and a jet connecting pipe fixedly connected to the rear end of the jet precursor via inner and outer conductive connecting plates. The jet precursor has a jet channel inside, and a hard alloy wire is installed within the jet channel. The hard alloy wire is electrically connected to the inner and outer conductive connecting plates. A dense coil iron core electromagnet is installed on the outer front shell of the jet precursor. The dense coil iron core electromagnet is electrically connected to the inner and outer conductive connecting plates via conductive wires. The inner and outer conductive connecting plates are electrically connected to power transmission lines. A precursor groove is provided on the surface of the jet precursor between the dense coil iron core electromagnet and the inner and outer conductive connecting plates. A connecting pipe groove is provided on the surface of the jet connecting pipe. The jet channel inside the jet precursor communicates with the internal cavities of the jet nozzle, inner and outer conductive connecting plates, and jet connecting pipe, and their central axes overlap.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the polar hot water accelerating jet generator provided by this invention, when working, provides external jet pressure, causing the jet to flow from the water pipe through the jet connecting pipe and the jet channel inside the jet precursor, and then be accelerated and ejected through the jet nozzle. When the power supply line is connected to an external power source, the external current is supplied through the power supply line and the inner and outer conductive connecting plates to the hard alloy wires inside the jet channel and the dense coil iron core electromagnet outside the jet precursor, respectively. The dense coil iron core electromagnet provides a magnetic field to increase the impact force, while the internal hard alloy wires provide electricity. The electricity generated by the jet and the seawater flowing through the jet channel form a closed loop. Under the magnetic force of the densely coiled iron-core electromagnet, the jet is accelerated, forming a high-speed water jet. Simultaneously, the salt content in the seawater and the hard alloy wires provide electricity to the seawater, effectively connecting the positive and negative poles of two wires. Due to the high resistance of seawater, according to the thermoelectric effect, for a given current, the greater the resistance, the greater the heat generated. Therefore, the seawater is rapidly heated as it passes through the jet precursor, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the seawater and the ice, achieving a faster jet-assisted ice-breaking effect. This invention has the advantages of high safety, high reliability, low cost, and high ice-breaking efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the outlet diameter of the jet nozzle is designed to be various, and the jet nozzle is detachably mounted at the front end of the jet precursor.

[0009] Furthermore, the jet nozzle is connected to the front end of the jet precursor via a threaded rotation.

[0010] Furthermore, the jet precursor, jet nozzle, and jet connecting pipe are all made of hard alloy casting.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner and outer conductive connecting discs include an inner metal ring and an outer metal ring, with an isolation ring provided between the inner and outer metal rings. The inner metal ring is electrically connected to a hard alloy wire, and the outer metal ring is electrically connected to a dense coil core electromagnet via a conductive wire. The transmission line includes a first transmission line and a second transmission line, with the first transmission line electrically connected to the inner metal ring and the second transmission line electrically connected to the outer metal ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner surface of the jet connection tube is a smooth, glossy surface. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the polar hot water accelerating jet generator provided by this invention, when working, provides external jet pressure, causing the jet to flow from the water pipe through the jet connecting pipe and the jet channel inside the jet precursor, and then be accelerated and ejected through the jet nozzle. When the power supply line is connected to an external power source, the external current is supplied through the power supply line and the inner and outer conductive connecting plates to the hard alloy wires inside the jet channel and the dense coil iron core electromagnet outside the jet precursor, respectively. The dense coil iron core electromagnet provides a magnetic field to increase the impact force, while the internal hard alloy wires provide electricity. The electricity generated by the jet and the seawater flowing through the jet channel form a closed loop. Under the magnetic force of the densely coiled iron-core electromagnet, the jet is accelerated, forming a high-speed water jet. Simultaneously, the salt content in the seawater and the hard alloy wires provide electricity to the seawater, effectively connecting the positive and negative poles of two wires. Due to the high resistance of seawater, according to the thermoelectric effect, for a given current, the greater the resistance, the greater the heat generated. Therefore, the seawater is rapidly heated as it passes through the jet precursor, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the seawater and the ice, achieving a faster jet-assisted ice-breaking effect. This invention has the advantages of high safety, high reliability, low cost, and high ice-breaking efficiency.

[0023] As a specific embodiment, the outlet diameter 21 of the jet nozzle 2 is designed to be of various types. The jet nozzle 2 is detachably installed at the front end of the jet precursor 1.

In order to adapt to different operational needs, the operator can easily disassemble and replace the jet nozzle 2 with a wrench to adjust the outlet diameter of the jet nozzle 2, thereby changing the flow rate and impact effect of the jet to adapt to different ice-breaking needs.

[0024] For a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the jet nozzle 2 is connected to the front end of the jet front body 1 by a threaded rotation.

The power transmission line 9 includes a first power transmission line and a second power transmission line.
