[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: A ship propeller fairing device includes a fairing body 1, a sacrificial anode 4 is slidably connected inside the fairing body 1, a bolt head 6 is rotatably connected inside the fairing body 1, a first bevel gear 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bolt head 6, a second bevel gear 8 is rotatably connected inside the fairing body 1, the second bevel gear 8 meshes with the first bevel gear 7, a transmission column 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the second bevel gear 8, a transmission column 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of another second bevel gear 8, a third bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected inside the fairing body 1, the third bevel gear 10 meshes with another second bevel gear 8, a threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the third bevel gear 10, a triangular slider 12 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 11, a first transmission rod 13 is rotatably connected inside the fairing body 1, a clamping column 15 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the first transmission rod 13, a second transmission rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the triangular slider 12, and one side of the outer wall of the second transmission rod 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the clamping column 15. A damping component is arranged inside the fairing body 1, and the damping component is used for damping and buffering the fairing body 1;

[0025] Specifically, when using this ship propeller fairing device and needing to replace the sacrificial anode 4, first use a tool to rotate the bolt head 6. The rotation of the bolt head 6 drives the rotation of the first bevel gear 7, and the movement of the first bevel gear 7 is transmitted to the second bevel gear 8. The rotation of the second bevel gear 8 is further transmitted to another transmission column 9 through the interaction of the transmission column 9. The rotation of the transmission column 9 drives the rotation of the third bevel gear 10. The rotation of the third bevel gear 10 causes the threaded rod 11 to be forced to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 11 causes the triangular slider 12 to move upward under force, and this movement drives the movement of the second transmission rod 14, causing the clamping column 15 to contract towards the threaded rod 11, releasing the fixation of the sacrificial anode 4. In this way, the operator can easily remove the sacrificial anode 4 for necessary replacement or maintenance work. The whole process reflects the ingenious concept in ship design and the precision of mechanical engineering, ensuring the safe operation and efficient operation of the ship in the marine environment.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 4, the vibration damping assembly includes a first connecting block 18 and a first damper 16. The bottom of the first connecting block 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first damper 16. The bottom of the first damper 16 is fixedly connected to the top of another first connecting block 18. The outer walls of the other first connecting block 18 are fixedly connected inside the fairing body 1;

[0027] Specifically, during the use of the ship propeller fairing device, the first damper 16 absorbs and converts the vibration energy on the first connecting block 18, preventing its vibration from being transmitted to the fairing body 1, which can extend the service life of the fairing body 1.

[0028] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , one side of the outer wall of the first connecting block 18 is rotatably connected to a third transmission rod 20. A first spring 17 is fixedly connected between the two first connecting blocks 18. One side of the outer wall of the third transmission rod 20 is rotatably connected to a second connecting block 19. A second spring 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer walls of the two second connecting blocks 19. A second damper 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the second connecting block 19. The output end of the second damper 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the other second connecting block 19. A connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first connecting block 18. A connecting piece 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting frame 2. A screw propeller 5 is rotatably connected inside the connecting piece 3;

[0029] Specifically, during the use of the ship propeller fairing device, the vibration generated by the screw propeller 5 is inevitable. These vibrations are transmitted to the first connecting block 18 through the connecting frame 2. To effectively manage these vibrations, a combination of the first damper 16 and the first spring 17 is ingeniously introduced in the ship design. They play a key role in the vibration transmission process. When the vibration energy is transmitted to the first connecting block 18, the first damper 16 and the first spring 17 work together. Through their physical properties, they can absorb and convert a part of the vibration energy, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the ship structure. When the first connecting block 18 is squeezed, the movement of the upper and lower first connecting blocks 18 will drive the movement of the second connecting block 19 through the third transmission rod 20. The movement of the second connecting block 19 will trigger the response of the second damper 21 and the second spring 22, enabling further absorption and conversion of the vibration energy and further reducing the possibility of resonance. This multi-level vibration management mechanism ensures that the ship can maintain stability and safety during navigation, while also improving the comfort and durability of the ship. Through this carefully designed vibration control strategy, the ship can operate more efficiently in various sea conditions, ensuring the safety of the ship and the crew.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to replace the sacrificial anode 4 during the use of this ship propeller flow guiding device, first use a tool to rotate the bolt head 6. Subsequently, the bolt head 6 drives the first bevel gear 7 to rotate, thereby driving the second bevel gear 8 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the second bevel gear 8 drives another transmission column 9 to rotate through the transmission column 9. The rotation of the transmission column 9 will drive the third bevel gear 10 to rotate, thereby causing the threaded rod 11 to rotate under force. When the threaded rod 11 rotates, the triangular slider 12 will move upward under force, thereby driving the second transmission rod 14 to move, causing the clamping column 15 to contract towards the threaded rod 11, releasing the fixation of the sacrificial anode 4. At this time, the sacrificial anode 4 can be removed for replacement. When this ship propeller flow guiding device is in use, when the vibration generated by the propeller 5 occurs, its vibration force is transmitted to the first connecting block 18 through the connecting frame 2. At this time, through the cooperation of the first damper 16 and the first spring 17, a part of the vibration energy is absorbed and converted. When it is squeezed, the movement of the upper and lower first connecting blocks 18 will drive the second connecting block 19 to move through the third transmission rod 20. At this time, the second damper 21 and the second spring 22 further absorb and convert its vibration energy, so as to reduce the occurrence of resonance.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
