Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship design and construction, in particular to an auxiliary system for passing a ship propeller shaft through a stern tube. Background Art

[0002] At present, the size of ships being built is getting bigger and bigger, the power units are getting bigger and bigger, and the diameter and length of their propeller shafts are getting bigger and bigger; and the weight of the propeller shafts has also greatly increased, reaching 50 to 100 tons; this has brought great difficulty to the installation of the propeller shaft.

[0003] The support bearings of a ship's propeller shaft are located within a closed stern tube. While the stern tube lubricant lubricates the bearings with an oil film, it also fills the gap between the stern shaft and the stern tube, providing sufficient cooling. While this facilitates lubrication and cooling, it also limits the space available for the sling on the stern shaft to operate during the insertion of the stern shaft into the stern tube. In particular, the shaft portion already inside the stern tube cannot provide leverage, making it difficult to control the balance of the stern shaft. During the actual insertion of the stern tube, the stern shaft is often scratched by the pipe support within the stern tube. If the scratches occur at the bearing stop, these scratches will create a "filing" effect at low speeds when the shaft is in operation, during the start / stop of the main engine, when no oil film has formed. This scratching will scrape the babbitt metal on the bearing surface, causing a high bearing temperature alarm and even bearing wear, resulting in significant economic losses when the ship is docked for bearing replacement. Therefore, the present applicant proposes an auxiliary system for ship propeller shaft insertion into the stern tube. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a ship propeller shaft passing through the stern tube auxiliary system, which solves the leverage point and balance problems during the propeller shaft insertion process, thereby avoiding the economic loss of bearing replacement.

[0060] S11, removing the extension rod 3;

[0061] S12. Finally, remove the flange false shaft 4.

[0062] Working principle:

[0063] The utility model provides an auxiliary system for passing a propeller shaft through a stern tube of a ship. First, relevant dummy shaft tooling is manufactured; after the propeller shaft is hoisted into the engine room, a stern threaded dummy shaft is first connected; a lifting eye and a hoist at the stern of the hull are arranged in place; the hoist is switched during the process of the propeller shaft passing through the stern tube; after the stern hoist is in place, a dummy shaft with a flange at the front end of the propeller shaft is connected; the propeller shaft is finally moved into place by using the dummy shaft with the flange at the front end of the propeller shaft; and finally, an extension rod is removed.

[0064] During the stern tube insertion process, after the stern tube is exposed after the extension rod is extended, the sling is arranged on the extension rod. The principle of lever balance is used to ensure that the stern shaft is free in the stern tube during insertion. That is, the stern shaft does not contact the stern tube. The stern shaft and stern tube are in concentric circles (there is clearance between the stern shaft and the stern tube bearings above, below, left and right). After the stern shaft is moved to the designed position relative to the stern tube, it is slowly lowered onto the stern tube bearing. During this process, the stern shaft's center of gravity is controlled to be stable and prevent it from tipping over. The bending moment is equal at two fulcrums (at least two fulcrums). The sling in the middle of the propeller shaft is withdrawn when it approaches the front end of the stern tube. During the entire process of the propeller shaft passing through the stern tube, the propeller shaft does not come into contact with the sealing pipe bracket (screw) in the stern tube, ensuring that the propeller shaft itself is intact.

[0065] The above are only specific application examples of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
