[0002] Existing thrusters have complex structures and their components are tightly connected. Once a failure occurs, they often need to be completely disassembled for repair or replacement, which increases the complexity and cost of maintenance and reduces the reliability and availability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a propeller and a submersible to solve at least one of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A propeller includes a shell assembly, wherein the front end of the shell assembly is integrally formed with a streamlined front shell, the rear end of the shell assembly is threadedly connected to a rear shell, a drive shaft is rotatably connected to the shell assembly via a bearing, a rotor and a stator are provided in the shell assembly, the rotor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the stator is fixedly connected to the shell assembly, the stator applies electromagnetic force to the rotor to drive the rotor to rotate, and the end of the drive shaft extending out of the front shell is connected to a propeller.

[0006] In this technical solution, the shell assembly is the outer shell part of the propeller, which is used to protect the mechanical and electronic components inside the propeller from the influence of the underwater environment. The front shell is the front outer shell of the propeller, which is designed to be streamlined to reduce underwater resistance and improve propulsion efficiency. The rear shell, the shell assembly and the front shell together form a complete shell to protect the internal components of the propeller. A rotor and a stator are provided in the shell assembly. The rotor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the stator is fixedly connected to the shell assembly. When current passes through the stator, a magnetic field is generated to act on the rotor to rotate. The stator applies electromagnetic force to the rotor to drive the rotor to rotate, and the rotor drives the drive shaft to rotate. The end of the drive shaft extending out of the front shell is connected to a propeller, and the drive shaft drives the propeller to rotate. In summary, this technical solution adopts a split shell design, which has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has low maintenance costs.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting base is integrally formed on the housing assembly, and a blocking cover is provided between the mounting base and the front shell. The mounting base is used to fix and support the entire propeller, and the blocking cover is used to prevent water or other impurities from entering the interior of the propeller.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to improve the rotation stability of the drive shaft, a first bearing is provided between the rear housing and the drive shaft, and a second bearing is provided between the front housing and the drive shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing effect, an oil seal spring is provided between the front housing and the drive shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, an insulating gasket is provided in the shell assembly for the electrical connection part inside the thruster to ensure the insulation performance between the electrical components and prevent electrical short circuit or leakage.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing effect of the shell, a sealing ring is provided between the rear shell and the shell assembly, and the threaded connection between the rear shell and the shell assembly is sealed with glue.

[0012] The present utility model also provides a submersible, which includes a manned cabin and the above-mentioned propellers. There are six propellers, namely a right front propeller, a left front propeller, a right middle propeller, a left middle propeller, a right rear propeller and a left rear propeller. The right front propeller is located on the front right side of the manned cabin, providing forward thrust and a certain degree of rightward steering ability; the left front propeller is located on the front left side of the manned cabin, providing forward thrust and a certain degree of leftward steering ability; the right middle propeller is located in the middle right side of the manned cabin, maintaining the up and down balance of the submersible and providing thrust for ascent and descent; the left middle propeller is located in the middle left side of the manned cabin, for maintaining the up and down balance of the submersible and providing thrust for ascent and descent; the right rear propeller is located on the right rear side of the manned cabin, for providing backward thrust and the ability to steer right; the left rear propeller is located on the left rear side of the manned cabin, for providing backward thrust and the ability to steer left.

[0013] In this technical solution, the right front thruster plays an important role when the course needs to be adjusted to the right or complex maneuvers need to be performed. The left front thruster and the front right thruster form a diagonal layout, which helps to achieve more precise course control and attitude adjustment. When the right center thruster works in conjunction with the right front thruster, it can more effectively control the course and attitude of the manned cabin. When the left center thruster works in conjunction with the left front thruster, it can enhance the maneuverability of the manned cabin. The right rear thruster plays an indispensable role when it is necessary to quickly decelerate or adjust to the right course. It can also perform linear acceleration or deceleration. The left rear thruster plays an indispensable role when it is necessary to quickly decelerate or adjust to the left course. It can also perform linear acceleration or deceleration.

[0014] Through the coordinated work of these six thrusters, the submersible can achieve all-round maneuverability and attitude control, ensuring the safe, stable and efficient operation of the manned cabin in complex environments.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In this technical solution, the shell assembly is the outer shell part of the propeller, which is used to protect the mechanical and electronic components inside the propeller from the influence of the underwater environment. The front shell is the front outer shell of the propeller, which is designed to be streamlined to reduce underwater resistance and improve propulsion efficiency. The rear shell, the shell assembly and the front shell together form a complete shell to protect the internal components of the propeller. A rotor and a stator are provided in the shell assembly, and the rotor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the stator is fixedly connected to the shell assembly. When current passes through the stator, a magnetic field is generated to act on the rotor to rotate. The stator applies electromagnetic force to the rotor to drive the rotor to rotate, and the rotor drives the drive shaft to rotate. The end of the drive shaft extending out of the front shell is connected to a propeller, and the drive shaft drives the propeller to rotate. In summary, this technical solution adopts a split shell design, which has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has low maintenance costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
