Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship propulsion technology, and more specifically, to an electric ship propulsion system. Background Technology

[0002] Rivers flowing through cities contain a large amount of floating debris, such as various aquatic plants (like seaweed), ropes, and discarded fishing nets. These objects can easily become entangled in the propellers or other rotating parts of ship propellers. For example, in rivers, lakes, and near-shore waters where aquatic plants grow abundantly, if the propeller becomes entangled in seaweed while a ship is sailing, it will cause a sharp increase in the propeller's rotational resistance.

[0003] When a propeller becomes entangled, its rotational speed decreases, affecting the ship's propulsion efficiency. In severe cases, it may prevent the propeller from rotating properly, causing the ship to lose power. Moreover, if this entanglement is not addressed promptly, the entanglement may tighten as the ship continues to sail, causing physical damage to the propeller, such as blade deformation.

[0004] Besides entangled debris, there may also be larger solid floating objects in the water, such as wood, metal fragments, and plastic waste. When a ship's propeller rotates at high speed, these objects can directly impact the propeller, causing damage such as broken or chipped blades. For example, in the waters near busy ports, cargo debris or maintenance waste often floats in the water. Without protective nets, the propeller can easily collide with these objects, leading to propeller damage. Propeller repairs are costly, and the repair process requires the ship to stop, resulting in significant economic losses for shipping operations.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0054] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an electric ship propulsion system includes:

[0056] Host 1;

[0057] Transmission component 2, which is located at the lower end of the host 1, and the output end of the host 1 is connected to the input end of the transmission component 2;

[0058] The propeller 3 is located at the lower end of the transmission assembly 2, and the output end of the transmission assembly 2 is connected to the propeller 3. The host 1 drives the propeller 3 to rotate through the transmission assembly 2.

[0059] The upper end of the protective component 4 is located on one side of the main unit 1, the middle part of the protective component 4 is movably connected to the transmission component 2, and the lower end of the protective component 4 is located on one side of the propeller 3, so that the protective component 4 protects the propeller 3.

[0060] The fixing component 5 has one end rotatably connected to the upper end of the transmission component 2, and the other end detachably connected to the hull.

[0061] In this specific application, the propulsion machine is fixed to the ship using the fixing component 5. The output end of the main engine 1 drives the propeller 3 to rotate through the transmission component 2, and the propeller 3 propels the ship during rotation. When the ship is propelled to a deep water area or an area without weeds or debris, the protective component 4 is pulled. After the protective component 4 moves upward along the transmission component 2 into place, the lower end of the protective component 4 deviates from the propeller 3, reducing the impact on the operating efficiency of the propeller 3 and allowing the propeller 3 to maintain efficient operation. When the ship is propelled to a shallow water area or an area with weeds or debris, the protective component 4 is pressed down. After the protective component 4 moves downward along the transmission component 2 into place, the lower end of the protective component 4 protects the propeller 3, reducing the interference of weeds and debris on the propeller 3 and preventing damage to the propeller 3.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the fixing component 5 includes:

[0063] A rotating shaft sleeve 501 is fitted onto the upper end of the transmission assembly 2;

[0064] The outer clamping plate 502 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 501 at its upper end, and the end of the outer clamping plate 502 away from the transmission assembly 2 is detachably connected to the hull.

[0065] The inner clamping plate 503 is clamped in the middle of the transmission assembly 2, and the lower end of the outer clamping plate 502 is rotatably connected to the inner clamping plate 503.

[0066] In practical applications, the upper end of the outer clamping plate 502 is rotatably connected to the transmission assembly 2 via the rotating shaft sleeve 501, and the lower end of the outer clamping plate 502 is rotatably connected to the transmission assembly 2 via the inner clamping plate 503. The end of the outer clamping plate 502 away from the transmission assembly 2 is clamped on the ship, so that the propeller is clamped on the ship and can be effectively rotated, making it convenient to steer the propeller.

[0067] The fixing assembly 5, consisting of the rotating shaft sleeve 501, the outer clamping plate 502, and the inner clamping plate 503, enables the propeller to be firmly fixed to the ship and also facilitates the steering of the propeller.

[0068] In the above embodiments, the fixing component 5 further includes:

[0069] A clamping pin 504 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the outer clamping plate 502, and the clamping pin 504 can clamp the end of the hull held by the outer clamping plate 502.

[0070] Fastening device 505, the end of which is connected to clamping pin 504, and the fastening device 505 can drive the clamping pin 504 to rotate.

[0071] In practical applications, when the outer clamping plate 502 is clamping the end of the ship, the fastening device 505 is rotated. During the rotation of the fastening device 505, the clamping pin 504 is driven to rotate. The clamping pin 504 is threadedly connected to the outer clamping plate 502. During the rotation of the clamping pin 504, the end of the ship is continuously pressed, making the connection between the outer clamping plate 502 and the ship more stable and improving stability.

[0072] The above embodiments also include:

[0073] Handle 6 is fixedly connected to the main unit 1 via connecting rod 403, and is positioned above the fixing component 5.

[0074] In practical applications, the handle 6 is used to control the thruster for steering, and control buttons are arranged on the handle 6 for easy adjustment of the thruster.

[0075] The above embodiments also include:

[0076] A windshield 7 is detachably mounted on the handle 6, and a heating element is fixedly installed inside the windshield 7.

[0077] In practical applications, the windshield 7 is used to block wind and water at the handle 6. Especially in low temperatures, strong winds can easily form on the ship, which can greatly affect the driver's hands and thus affect the ship's operation. The windshield 7 can improve the driver's comfort and enhance driving safety.

[0078] In the above embodiments, the protective component 4 includes:

[0079] A protective net 401 is located on one side of the propeller 3;

[0080] A control frame 402 is arranged in a U-shape around the outer periphery of the host unit 1;

[0081] A connecting rod 403 is provided, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the control frame 402, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the protective net 401, and the middle part of which is movably connected to the transmission assembly 2.

[0082] In practical applications, by pulling up the control frame 402, the control frame 402 drives the protective net 401 away from the propeller 3 via the connecting rod 403; alternatively, by pressing down the control frame 402, the control frame 402 drives the protective net 401 closer to the propeller 3 via the connecting rod 403, thus protecting the propeller 3. The protective assembly 4, consisting of the protective net 401, the control frame 402, and the connecting rod 403, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can flexibly protect the propeller 3.

[0083] In the above embodiments, the transmission assembly 2 further includes:

[0084] A collar 201 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the transmission assembly 2. The collar 201 is fitted onto the connecting rod 403 so that the connecting rod 403 can move vertically in a limited position.

[0085] In practical applications, the collar 201 is fitted onto the transmission component 2 and the connecting rod 403, allowing the connecting rod 403 to move vertically along the limit of the transmission component 2, and also making the connecting rod 403 more stable.

[0086] In the above embodiments, the transmission assembly 2 further includes:

[0087] A limiting block 202 is fixedly placed in the middle of the transmission assembly 2, and the limiting block 202 is located below the collar 201; a vertically arranged limiting groove 4031 is provided on the connecting rod 403, and the limiting block 202 is located in the limiting groove 4031. When the connecting rod 403 moves vertically, the limiting block 202 moves vertically and is limited within the limiting groove 4031.

[0088] In practical applications, when the connecting rod 403 moves, the limiting block 202 moves within the limiting groove 4031. The limiting groove 4031 can limit the movement of the limiting block 202, thereby limiting the vertical movement of the connecting rod 403, preventing the connecting rod 403 from moving off-center, and extending the service life of the protective component 4.

[0089] In the above embodiment, a first clip and a second clip are provided in the limiting groove 4031. The first clip is fixedly placed at the top of the limiting groove 4031 with its opening facing downward, and the second clip is fixedly placed at the bottom of the limiting groove 4031 with its opening facing upward.

[0090] In practical application, when the limiting block 202 moves within the limiting groove 4031, when the limiting block 202 moves upward into position, it will be locked in the first clip; when the limiting block 202 moves downward into position, it will be locked in the second clip. The first and second clips are used to fix the limiting block 202, making the protective component 4 more stable after it moves into position, and also making it easier for the driver to perceive the position of the protective component 4.

[0091] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
