Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of naval vessel propulsion, and in particular to the application of multi-point propulsion of naval vessel auxiliary thrusters. Background Art

[0002] At present, ships generally rely on the tail propeller alone to work. To meet the needs, they must have a sufficiently high speed and a large displacement to obtain the required thrust. In fact, part of the energy is not fully utilized, but is wasted with the flow of water; at the same time, the high-speed propeller also increases the water-borne noise; in addition, most existing propellers are driven by diesel engines, combined with propulsion reduction gear devices and other mechanical transmission mechanisms, which not only take up space, but also have a lot of internal noise.

[0003] After decades of exploration and practice, the shipbuilding industry has reached a consensus: the future development direction of ships is to use integrated power systems to drive. Therefore, the multi-point propulsion technology of auxiliary thrusters of ships driven by electricity needs to be studied urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] The motor comprises a motor rotor, a motor front end cover, a motor housing, and an output end cover, wherein the motor front end cover and the output end cover are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the motor housing by bolts, and sealing rings are arranged between the motor front end cover and the motor housing, and between the output end cover and the motor housing, and the motor rotor and the motor front end cover, and the motor rotor and the output end cover are all rotatably connected by bearings, and the output end cover is provided with an air pressure chamber, and the front and rear ends of the air pressure chamber are provided with ceramic water seals, and both ends of the ceramic water seal are provided with water blocking rings, and the ceramic water seal and the water blocking ring are both sleeved on the motor rotor, and the output end cover is fixedly connected with a gland by bolt sealing, and the output end cover is provided with an air filling pipe and a drainage pipe connected with the air pressure chamber, and a water sensor is arranged in the air pressure chamber, and the water sensor is electrically connected with a water display, and the motor and the propeller cover are fixed together by a bracket and bolts;

[0007] The auxiliary propeller for ships and vessels is used for multi-point propulsion and auxiliary steering of ships and vessels, and the auxiliary propeller for ships and vessels is driven by electricity.

[0008] Furthermore, the auxiliary propellers of the ship are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the ship, and the number of the auxiliary propellers of the ship on each side is one or more.

[0009] Furthermore, the auxiliary thruster of the ship is installed in a track sliding manner on the front and middle part of the underwater part of the ship to ensure a safe distance when the anchor hook is lifted, and a fixed slide is welded and fixed on the ship. The thruster outer cover is slidably connected to the fixed slide and fixed by a fixing part, so that the position can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0010] Furthermore, auxiliary steering is achieved by using the rotation speed difference between the auxiliary propellers of the ship on the left and right sides of the ship.

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0018] Embodiment 1, in combination with Figure 1-3 , the application of multi-point propulsion of auxiliary propellers for ships and vessels, including auxiliary propellers for ships and vessels, wherein the auxiliary propellers for ships and vessels include a motor 1, propeller blades 2, and a propeller cover 3;

[0019] The motor 1 includes a motor rotor 101, a motor front end cover 102, a motor housing 103, and an output end cover 104. The motor front end cover 102 and the output end cover 104 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the motor housing 103 by bolts. A sealing ring 105 is provided between the motor front end cover 102 and the motor housing 103, and between the output end cover 104 and the motor housing 103. The motor rotor 101 and the motor front end cover 102, and the motor rotor 101 and the output end cover 104 are rotatably connected through a bearing 106. The output end cover 104 is provided with an air pressure chamber 107. Ceramic water seals 108 are provided at the front and rear ends of the air pressure chamber 107, and water blocking rings 109 are provided at both ends of the ceramic water seal 108. The ceramic water seal 108 and the water blocking ring 109 are both sleeved on the motor rotor 101. The output end cover 104 is fixedly connected with a pressure cover 110 by bolt sealing. The output end cover 104 is provided with an inflation pipe 111 and a drainage pipe 112 connected to the air pressure chamber 107. A water sensor 113 is provided in the air pressure chamber 107, and the water sensor 113 is electrically connected to a water display 114. The motor 1 and the propeller cover 3 are fixed together by a bracket and bolts. The propeller cover 3 is used to prevent the propeller force from spreading as centrifugal force, so the propulsion effect is good, the energy utilization rate is high, and energy waste is avoided; multiple water-blocking preventive measures are adopted, and a large air pressure chamber 107 is provided on the circumference of the ceramic water seal 108. The air pressure chamber 107 is usually kept at a certain air pressure to prevent water from leaking into the air pressure chamber 107. Once water leaks into the air pressure chamber 107, it is sensed by the water sensor 113, and the water display 114 displays an alarm. The electric control valve on the drain pipe 112 and the electric control valve on the inflation pipe 111 can be opened, and air is inflated into the air pressure chamber 107 through the inflation pipe 111 to discharge the water, and then the electric control valve on the drain pipe 112 and the electric control valve on the inflation pipe 111 can be closed.

[0020] The auxiliary propeller for ships and vessels is used for multi-point propulsion and auxiliary steering of ships and vessels, and the auxiliary propeller for ships and vessels is driven by electricity.

[0021] The auxiliary propellers of the ship are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the ship. The number of the auxiliary propellers of the ship on each side is one or more, which is determined according to the tonnage requirements of the ship.

[0022] The ship auxiliary propeller is installed in the front and middle of the underwater part of the ship by rail sliding, ensuring the safe distance when the anchor hook is lifted, and the fixed slideway 4 is welded and fixed on the ship. The propeller cover 3 is slidably connected with the fixed slideway 4 and fixed by a fixing part, so that the position can be adjusted according to actual needs. Multi-point propulsion is carried out by the ship auxiliary propeller, and a higher speed can be obtained without a large increase in total power.

[0023] Auxiliary steering is achieved by the speed difference between the auxiliary propellers of the ship on the left and right sides of the ship. The steering operation can be made more flexible by linkage with the steering operating system.

[0024] In the present invention, since the motor is used to provide power, there is no need to open a hole in the hull, and it is sufficient to weld a fixed slideway 4 at the corresponding part of the hull. If applied to a submarine, the thruster cover 3 can be designed to be adjustable so that the motor 1 can be switched to a horizontal state or a vertical state. The vertical state can be used to assist the submarine in buoyancy when the submarine fails, provided that power is guaranteed.

[0025] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the invented product is usually placed when used. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" means at least 2.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
