[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] According to the first aspect of the present invention, a rudder propeller thruster installation process is provided. The thrusters generally weigh tens of tons, and some thrusters weigh 47 tons or even heavier, so they need to be hoisted and installed. If you are not careful, all your efforts may be wasted. If they are not installed properly, they need to be reinstalled.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a lifting hole 1 is provided at the tail of the propeller 100, and a lifting lug 2 is provided at the top of the propeller 100. A lifting rope 3 is provided on the lifting device, one of which is connected to the lifting hole 1, and the other is connected to the lifting lug 2. The two lifting ropes 3 are bolted to the propeller 100 to achieve lifting. There are two lifting holes 1, which are respectively provided on the ribs at the tail of the propeller, and a reinforcing I-beam or channel steel beam is provided between the two lifting holes for reinforcement; there are two lifting lugs 1, and a reinforcing I-beam or channel steel beam is provided between the two lifting lugs for reinforcement and reinforcement. A fixed lifting lug 4 is provided on the well seat 5 of the hull, and the lifting rope 3 at the tail is connected to the lifting hole 1 through the fixed lifting lug 4.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the lifting device may be a cabin crane; before lifting, a lifting code is pre-installed on the hull, and the lifting code is used to install the lifting device.

[0037] Specifically, a process hole is opened in advance at the position of the deck just above the thruster 100 after installation, so that the engine room crane can be used to complete the lifting, making full use of the tools on the ship, saving the ship construction cost, and eliminating the need to use other lifting tools.

[0038] The present embodiment provides a rudder propeller installation process, which requires the installation of the wire lighting and the propeller rudder propeller device to be completed at the stern assembly stage. The specific steps of hoisting the propeller 100 from below the stern hull are as follows:

[0039] Step S1: transport the propeller to the bottom of the stern of the ship and start hoisting using a hoisting device;

[0040] Step S2: hoist the propeller horizontally. After reaching the designated position, lift the top of the propeller so that the height of the rotation center point 8 of the tail remains unchanged. Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, this is the lifting process for this step.

[0041] In step S2, the horizontal lifting of the propeller requires that the propeller be kept horizontal during the lifting process, and the angle between the lifting rope 3 and the ground is not less than 75°;

[0042] In step S2, after reaching the designated position, the tail rope 3 and the top rope 3 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the top rope 3 is tightened to lift the top of the thruster, and the tail rope 3 remains stationary;

[0043] Make the angle between the center line of the wellbore base and the center line of the thruster 50°.

[0044] Step S3: tighten the top suspension rope 3 and loosen the tail suspension rope 3 to gradually verticalize the propeller 100; make the angle between the center line of the well enclosure and the center line of the propeller gradually change from 50° to 37°, then to 33°, and finally to 0°. Figure 5 to Figure 6 Then Figure 7 As shown, this is the lifting process for this step.

[0045] Step S4: After the propeller is vertical and the position is checked to be correct, the propeller 100 is hoisted upwards and finally fixed on the hull. Figure 8 shown.

[0046] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The figure shows that three fully rotating rudder propellers are installed through the above process.

[0047] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a ship, on which a propeller is installed, and the propeller is installed using the rudder propeller installation process described in the first aspect.

[0048] In summary, the rudder propeller installation process provided in the present application is simple and practical, and can complete the installation of the propeller efficiently and quickly, especially after a process hole is opened in advance on the deck directly above the propeller 100 after installation, the engine room crane can be used to complete the lifting, making full use of the tools on the ship, saving the cost of ship construction, and eliminating the need to use other lifting equipment.

[0049] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
