Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of shaftless propellers, in particular to a shaftless propeller driven by an intermediate rotor axial magnetic flux motor. Background Art

[0002] Shaftless propulsion eliminates the shaft in traditional propulsion systems by installing the electric motor directly inside the propeller, thereby reducing energy transmission resistance and vibration and improving propulsion efficiency. Shaftless propulsion has great application prospects in submarines and other underwater vehicles, especially in scenarios where noise reduction, improved stealth, and propulsion efficiency are required. Shaftless propulsion offers advantages such as high power density, low vibration and noise, and green energy conservation.

[0003] The blades and rotors of existing shaftless propellers are generally connected with bolts. Since the blades may hit hard objects and be damaged or corroded when rotating in the water, the blades need to be disassembled and replaced. During disassembly, tools are needed to separate the blades from the rotor, which is a more cumbersome operation. If the blades and rotor are fixedly connected by welding, the rotor needs to be removed at the same time during disassembly. Therefore, the entire propeller needs to be disassembled before the rotor can be taken out, and the replacement cost is high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a shaftless propeller driven by an intermediate rotor axial flux motor, wherein the blades can be quickly separated from the rotor under the action of a threaded ring, thereby facilitating blade replacement and saving replacement costs.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. When the propeller blades need to be replaced, rotate the threaded ring to move the threaded ring outward along the rotating groove, so that the multiple springs change from the original compressed state to the rebound state, thereby separating the pressure plate from the mounting block, and then move the mounting block along the mounting slot in the direction away from the two positioning posts. When the two positioning posts are respectively disengaged from the two positioning holes, remove the mounting block from the mounting slot, insert the new mounting block into the mounting slot, and then move the mounting block along the mounting slot toward the positioning posts until the positioning posts are inserted into the positioning holes. Then rotate the threaded ring to squeeze the multiple arc plates. After the arc plates are squeezed, they push the connecting rod and the pressure plate to press the end of the mounting block that does not have a positioning hole, so that the mounting block is fixed in the mounting slot, making the propeller blade replacement convenient and quick, and saving replacement costs.
