Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of propellers, in particular to a hub structure of an adjustable pitch propeller. Background Art

[0002] The hub structure of the adjustable pitch propeller uses the operating mechanism inside the hub to rotate the blades, thereby changing the pitch angle of the blades. The main function of the hub structure of the adjustable pitch propeller is to connect and support the blades and realize the pitch adjustment of the blades through the hydraulic system. The hub structure includes a hub body, a propeller shaft, and a variable pitch cylinder assembly. The rotation of the blades is driven by a hydraulic system, thereby changing the pitch angle and realizing thrust adjustment and directional control of the propeller. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a connection structure between the front and rear propeller hubs of a counter-rotating propeller, and its application number is: CN201610005267.9. The hub drives the front propeller blades and the front propeller cap to rotate. The front propeller blades generate thrust and push the rotating wake backward at the same time. The flow near the front propeller hub fits the front propeller cap and flows to the rear propeller hub. The rear propeller blades rotate to recover the rotating wake of the front propeller, thereby recovering energy, but the angle of the blades cannot be adjusted, and a certain amount of friction will be generated during rotation, which will generate a certain amount of heat and have a certain impact on the internal structure. An oil tank needs to be set to reduce the friction generated when the components move, so as to reduce the loss generated by the device during use and facilitate long-term use. Utility Model Content
