[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] Based on the stabilizing rudder structure in the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a method for installing a stabilizing rudder, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S1: Pull the wire and illuminate it. Before pulling the wire and illuminating it, the installation of the rudder tube is completed. The welding of the hull structure from the front wall of the engine room to the rear and below the main deck is all completed. The inspection of the structure below the steering gear platform and the pyrotechnic correction work is completed. The double bottom tightness test of the above-mentioned area is completed, including the tightness test of the stern tank and the stern tube cooling water tank. The arrangement of the slats meets the requirements of the drawings. All temporary supports and braces in the above-mentioned areas are removed to confirm that the baseline of the hull meets the tolerance standard requirements. The inspection results are submitted to the shipowner for ship inspection confirmation.

[0051] All temporary supports in the adjacent area must be removed, and interfering operations such as vibration and grinding should be stopped. The hull should not be exposed to the sun and the temperature should not change dramatically to avoid hull deformation affecting the correctness of the rudder system centerline. The shaft rudder system should be illuminated at the same time.

[0052] S2: Use a total station to find the center points A and B at the upper and lower ends of the rudder tube respectively, connect the line AB and extend it to the height of the center line of the main engine shaft system, and intersect the horizontal plane where the center line of the main engine shaft system is located at point C. The line connecting the three points ABC is the center line of the rudder system.

[0053] The verticality of the rudder barrel is measured and calculated using a laser theodolite, and the verticality is ≤1mm / m. A steel wire is pulled to measure the intersection of the shaft system and the rudder system, and the intersection meets the following requirements: standard ≤4mm, limit ≤8mm.

[0054] S3: Preparation work before installing the rudder blade. The rudder blade can be installed only after the lighting and wire drawing are qualified. Before installing the rudder blade, the stop pressure ring, stop lubricating oil ring, stop sealing ring and stop ring bushing are installed to the specified position of the rudder barrel.

[0055] The rudder blade and rudder stock need to be kept at the same temperature during the press-fitting process. The rudder blade forging cannot be heated during installation and removal.

[0056] S4: The rudder blade and the rudder stock are aligned at zero position. Marks are made on the side of the rudder blade, the rudder stock sleeve and the upper surface of the rudder blade forging. When the rudder stock is lowered, the two marks should be aligned and placed at zero position. After the press fitting is completed, the mark should be painted with eye-catching paint as a basis for waterline inspection.

[0057] Before press-fitting the rudder blade and rudder stock, make sure that the surface of the rudder blade cone and the rudder stock cone are clean, check all O-rings, and replace them if they are damaged. The O-rings can be coated with glue to prevent them from slipping during installation.

[0058] Lubricate the cone surface with clean hydraulic oil for hydraulic pumps, not grease.

[0059] Move the rudder blade under the rudder stock and make sure the zero marks of the rudder blade and rudder stock are aligned.

[0060] S5: Raise the rudder blade, check the cone surface during the process and keep it clean. Continue to raise the rudder blade until it touches the rudder stock, and confirm that the O-ring in the rudder knob is still in place and has not fallen off.

[0061] Manually tighten the hydraulic nut as far as possible until it contacts the rudder knob, the hydraulic piston must be fully retracted, then lower and remove the installation tool. Check and clean the hydraulic oil line interface and connect the manual pump.

[0062] According to the calculated insertion data and the pushing pressure of the rudder blade, determine the pushing amount and pushing pressure. Pressurize the hydraulic pump to 10% of the pushing pressure, adjust the dial gauge to zero, wait for 5 to 10 minutes, and continue to pressurize the axial direction to lift the rudder blade until the dial gauge shows a difference of 2mm. Alternately pressurize the axial and radial directions, and record the pushing amount every time it increases by 1mm until the pushing amount reaches the calculated requirement.

[0063] During the process of pressing, the first amount of pressing shall prevail. In any case, the pushing pressure shall not be greater than the calculated allowable pushing pressure. Step 16: After reaching the maximum amount of pressing, the radial hydraulic pump is depressurized, and the radial hydraulic pump is removed after the connection is removed. After the excess hydraulic oil flows out of the rudder knob, the hydraulic oil circuit is closed with a drain plug.

[0064] Wait for about 60 minutes, and keep the axial hydraulic pump still during the waiting process. Then release the pressure of the axial hydraulic pump. During this period, the reading of the micrometer is allowed to float 1 / 100mm (usually not more than 0.1mm) due to thread shrinkage. Record the final pressing amount and pushing pressure.

[0065] S6: Remove the axial hydraulic pump after removing the connection. Tighten the hydraulic nut, and after the excess hydraulic oil flows out of the rudder knob, seal the hydraulic oil circuit with the drain plug. Install the hydraulic nut stopper and weld it in place.

[0066] S7: Install the snap ring bushing and snap ring bearing in place, then install the snap seal ring, then install the snap oil ring, install another snap seal ring outside the lubricating oil ring, and finally install the snap pressure ring. The snap pressure ring is bolted to the upper edge of the snap ring bearing.

[0067] After the fixing bolts of the retaining ring and retaining ring bearing are installed, they are connected in series on the screw head end using φ4mm stainless steel wire by spot welding to prevent loosening between the bolts.

[0068] S8: After the construction is completed, clean up the internal garbage and tools, and then paint according to the painting requirements. Weld the rudder blade cover. Strictly install the welding process and perform 100UT inspection after welding.

[0069] Remove all tooling, repair the surface paint, and check whether all drain plugs are loose. The rudder blade installation is completed.

[0070] In summary, the present invention provides a marine stabilizing rudder and an installation method for preventing the rudder blade from shaking. The rudder blade of the rudder system structure is provided with a rudder hole with an opening facing upward, the bottom of the rudder hole is downwardly connected with a rudder button, the lower end of the rudder shaft passes through the rudder hole and is fixedly connected to the rudder button, the lower forging of the rudder barrel is inserted into the gap between the rudder shaft and the side wall of the rudder hole, a rudder barrel bushing is sandwiched between the lower end of the rudder barrel lower forging and the rudder shaft, a stop ring bearing is sandwiched between the upper end of the rudder hole and the lower forging of the rudder barrel, the stop ring bearing and the rudder barrel bushing play a double sealing role to prevent seawater from entering the rudder hole and the rudder barrel, and also play a limiting role to prevent the rudder barrel and the rudder shaft from shaking up and down during operation, thereby improving stability.

[0071] By using this stable structure, seawater can be effectively prevented from entering the internal structure of the rudder blade, forming a double protection for the rudder stock, rudder knob, and rudder barrel bushing. At the same time, the rudder blade can be installed and fixed well to prevent the rudder blade from shaking. The stop ring bearing, the lower forging of the rudder barrel, and the rudder knob firmly fix the rudder blade in a straight line, eliminating the swing frame, preventing the rudder blade from jumping up and down and swaying back and forth and left and right, and preventing the rudder blade from shaking, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the ship and improving the stability of the ship.

[0072] In addition, the provided installation method can effectively guide the installation of ship stabilizing rudders, improve the installation quality of the rudder system, and improve the installation efficiency of the rudder system.
