Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of propeller blades and hubs, and particularly relates to an anti-shear propeller blade and hub structure for an ice area rudder propeller. Background Technique
[0002] For a conventional pull-type full-rotation rudder propeller, the propeller blade and the hub are cast integrally. The hub and the propeller shaft are installed without a key by hydraulic pressure. The propeller is sleeved on the shaft to ensure a corresponding axial push-in amount to transmit torque. The propeller blade rotates to generate a towing force to realize the forward and backward movement of the ship. For a rudder propeller or a pod device used in an ice area, it is generally required that the propeller blade be replaceable. Therefore, the propeller blade and the hub are designed as a split structure. The propeller blade and the hub are connected by root bolts. If the propeller blade is bent or damaged after operation, the propeller blade can be replaced by removing the root bolts, and the hub components can be reused. Since the hub rotates at a high speed together with the propeller blade, during the icebreaking process of the ship, it will encounter the impact of ice blocks, and the impact direction of the ice blocks is uncertain. If only fixed by the root bolts, it is easy to cause shear damage to the bolts, and its service life and safety factor will drop rapidly. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-shear propeller blade and hub structure for an ice area rudder propeller to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An anti-shear propeller blade and hub structure for an ice area rudder propeller, including a propeller shaft, a hub, and a propeller blade. The hub is sleeved outside the propeller shaft, and the hub and the propeller shaft are fixedly installed by a key. The root of the propeller blade is provided with a blade root, and the blade root and the hub are detachably connected;
[0005] A boss is provided on the outer periphery of the hub, and a groove matching the boss is provided on the inner side of the blade root, and the boss is located inside the groove.
[0006] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the boss, a cylindrical pin is installed in the threaded hole by a thread, a pin hole matching the cylindrical pin is provided inside the groove, and the pin hole is sleeved on the cylindrical pin.

The boss structure serves as a retaining ring to bear the front and rear impact loads of the ice blade, and can meet the strength requirements for ice impact during ice area navigation. At the same time, the set cylindrical pin not only ensures the installation position of the first bolt, but also improves the anti-shear ability of the blade to a certain extent, greatly improving the safety service life coefficient of the blade and the hub, enabling the steering and propulsion device to be replaced before the blade is damaged, effectively reducing the root cutting risk of the first bolt, preventing the separation of the blade and the hub, and effectively ensuring the power key components of the ship.
