Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underwater propulsion equipment, in particular to a closed ring propeller with variable morphologies. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the underwater vehicle works for a long time under high pressure, high salt and other special environments, the overall requirements for the propeller are very high. At the same time, the maneuverability of the underwater vehicle is also an important evaluation standard of the operation ability. The underwater vehicle will work in various environments such as complex underwater obstacles, sand and mud accumulation, and small water depth. The propeller is the power and main noise source of the underwater vehicle, so the propeller has a crucial influence on the overall performance of the underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle has many operating environments, and it may be required to have excellent performance in many dimensions such as low operating noise, strong propulsion performance, and anti-winding in a single task. A single propeller mode is difficult to meet many requirements.

[0003] The ring propeller is a new type of propeller proposed in recent years. Due to the existence of blade tips, the pressure around the flow changes during the rotation of the traditional propeller, and the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces causes tip vortex shedding, accompanied by obvious cavitation phenomenon. Not only unnecessary energy loss is caused, but also the propulsion efficiency of the propeller is affected. The ring propeller cancels the geometric property of the blade tip from the geometric structure, which looks similar to connecting the blade tips of two traditional blades. In the running process, the generation of propeller tip vortex and cavitation effect are greatly suppressed. At the same time, due to the special ring structure of the ring propeller blade, the structural reliability of the propeller is stronger at high speed, and the noise is relatively smaller. However, compared with the tandem propeller and other propulsion modes, the propulsion performance is relatively poor. The tandem propeller can distribute the load of the propeller to two coaxial and independent propeller structures, but the noise generated during operation is large, which is not conducive to work in environments with high noise requirements.
