Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship propellers, in particular to a bottom-driven ship propeller. Background Art

[0002] A ship is an artificial vehicle mainly operating in geographical waters. Additionally, civilian ships are generally called boats, military ships are called warships, and small ships are called yachts or boats, and their general term is ships or vessels. Its interior mainly includes accommodation space, support structure, and drainage structure, and has a propulsion system that utilizes external or self-provided energy. Its shape is generally a streamlined envelope that is conducive to overcoming fluid resistance, and the materials have been continuously updated with the progress of technology. In the early days, natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and hemp were used, and in modern times, steel, as well as aluminum, fiberglass, acrylic, and various composite materials are used. A ship propeller is a key component of a ship and is used to propel the hull forward.

[0003] Traditional ship propellers can be installed at the bottom of the ship to reduce the transmission loss of the propulsion system and improve the propulsion efficiency, especially in the case of large ships or ships that need to sail for a long time. For common types of bottom-driven propellers, they are connected to the engine through a traditional shaft drive system, which helps to reduce the motion inertia of the ship and improve the response speed to steering commands, thereby enhancing the safety of the ship.

[0004] However, for bottom-driven traditional ship propellers, the propellers are mostly in a fixed state and cannot be conveniently angle-driven, so the steering ability of the ship is limited. The ship can only rely on the rudder or thruster to perform steering operations, which may limit the maneuverability and controllability of the ship in narrow waterways or complex operating environments. Therefore, a bottom-driven ship propeller is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to make up for the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a bottom-driven ship propeller, aiming to improve the problem that the ship cannot be conveniently angle-driven in the prior art.

Detailed Embodiment

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 Figures 1 - 3 , an embodiment provided by the utility model: a bottom-driven ship propeller, comprising a ship stern 1, a second motor 3 fixedly connected to the top of the ship stern 1, a fixed column 11 fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 3, a sliding key column 12 slidably connected inside the fixed column 11, a first traction wheel 14 rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding key column 12, a second traction wheel 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first traction wheel 14, a starting device 16 rotatably connected to the bottom of the second traction wheel 15, a housing 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the starting device 16, a propeller 5 rotatably connected inside the housing 4, a fixed disc 17 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the starting device 16, a lifting frame 8 arranged on the outer wall of the fixed disc 17, a third motor 18 fixedly connected inside the lifting frame 8, a worm 19 fixedly connected to the inner output end of the third motor 18, a worm gear 21 rotatably connected inside the lifting frame 8, the worm gear 21 meshing with the worm 19, the outer wall of the worm gear 21 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed disc 17, a flow guiding assembly arranged at the bottom of the fixed disc 17, and the flow guiding assembly acting on guiding the flow of the propeller 5.

[0032] Specifically, start the second motor 3, drive the fixed column 11 to rotate through the second motor 3, then drive the sliding key column 12 to rotate through the fixed column 11, then drive the first traction wheel 14 to rotate through the sliding key column 12, then drive the second traction wheel 15 to rotate through the first traction wheel 14, and then drive the starting device 16 to rotate through the second traction wheel 15, so as to drive the propeller 5 to rotate left and right, which can change the direction of the propulsive force, thereby increasing the maneuverability of the ship. Especially when complex lateral movement is required or in narrow waterways, ports or during berthing, this design can provide additional mobility, making it easier for the ship to perform lateral movement and steering operations. Then start the third motor 18, drive the worm 19 to rotate through the third motor 18, utilize the meshing between it and the worm gear 21 to ensure the transmission of large torque and moment, thereby drive the fixed disc 17 to rotate through the worm gear 21, so as to drive the propeller 5 to rotate vertically, which can improve the stability and controllability of the ship. When the wind and waves are large or more precise ship position control is required, by adjusting the angle of the propeller 5, the changes in the external environment can be more effectively responded to, and the stability and course control of the ship can be maintained.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 - 2 Figures 1 - 2 , the flow guiding assembly comprises a connecting rod 6 and a flow deflector 7, the outer wall of the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected inside the housing 4, and the outer wall of the flow deflector 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 6.

[0034] Specifically, the flow deflector 7 in front of the propeller 5 guides the water flow in front of it, changes the flow direction and speed of the water flow, makes the water flow smoother, reduces the shear force of the water, thereby reducing the water resistance and improving the sailing speed of the ship.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 - 2 On the outer wall of the stern 1, a first motor 2 is fixedly connected. The output end of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected with a connecting column 23. The outer wall of the connecting column 23 is rotatably connected inside the stern 1. The outer wall of the connecting column 23 is fixedly connected with a second conical gear 22. Inside the stern 1, a threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected. The top of the threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected with a first conical gear 10. The outer wall of the first conical gear 10 is rotatably connected inside the stern 1. The first conical gear 10 meshes with the second conical gear 22. The outer wall of the threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected inside the lifting frame 8. Inside the lifting frame 8, a sliding column 13 is slidably connected. Both ends of the sliding column 13 are fixedly connected inside the stern 1. A lifting hole 20 is opened inside the stern 1.

[0036] Specifically, start the first motor 2. Drive the connecting column 23 to rotate through the first motor 2. Then drive the second conical gear 22 to rotate through the connecting column 23. Utilize the meshing between it and the first conical gear 10 to ensure the transmission of large torque and moment. Thus, drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate through the first conical gear 10. Then drive the lifting frame 8 to lift through the threaded rod 9. Then drive the propeller 5 to lift through the lifting frame 8. It can operate in waters of different depths. At the same time, retracting the propeller 5 can reduce its exposed area in the water, thereby reducing hydrodynamic resistance. This helps to improve the speed and fuel efficiency of the ship, which is particularly important when long-distance or high-speed navigation is required.

[0037] Working principle: Turn on the starting device 16. Drive the connected propeller 5 to rotate through the starting device 16 to move the hull. Then, the second motor 3 can be started. Drive the fixedly connected fixed column 11 to rotate through the second motor 3. Then drive the slidably connected sliding key column 12 to rotate through the fixed column 11. Then drive the rotatably connected first traction wheel 14 to rotate through the sliding key column 12. Subsequently, drive the fixedly connected second traction wheel 15 to rotate through the first traction wheel 14. Then drive the rotatably connected starting device 16 to rotate inside the fixed disk 17 it is rotatably connected to through the second traction wheel 15, thereby driving the propeller 5 to rotate left and right. Then, the third motor 18 can be started. Drive the fixedly connected worm 19 to rotate through the third motor 18. Then drive the meshing-connected worm gear 21 to rotate through the worm 19. Then drive the fixedly connected fixed disk 17 to rotate through the worm gear 21, thereby driving the propeller 5 to rotate downward to adjust the hull. Then, according to the river bottom conditions, start the first motor 2. Drive the fixedly connected connecting column 23 to rotate through the first motor 2. Then drive the fixedly connected second conical gear 22 to rotate through the connecting column 23. Then drive the meshing-connected first conical gear 10 to rotate through the second conical gear 22. Then drive the fixedly connected threaded rod 9 to rotate through the first conical gear 10. Subsequently, drive the threadedly connected lifting frame 8 to lift on the outer wall of the slidably connected sliding column 13 through the threaded rod 9, thereby driving the propeller 5 to lift inside the lifting hole 20.
