Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine power equipment technology, specifically a hydrodynamic layout azimuth propeller. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the shipping industry, the requirements for ship maneuverability and propulsion efficiency are getting higher and higher. The traditional ship propulsion method is mainly direct propulsion by propeller. Early ship propellers had relatively simple layouts and fixed power transmission directions. Ship steering mainly relied on rudder blades. When the ship is sailing at low speed or needs precise maneuvering, the rudder efficiency will decrease, and the ship's maneuverability will be affected.
[0003] Existing traditional rudder systems have certain limitations in steering. The rudder is typically mounted in a fixed position at the stern, limiting its steering angle and response speed. For vessels requiring rapid maneuvers in narrow waters or complex channels, such as tugboats and ferries, traditional rudders may not meet the requirements. Furthermore, long-term seawater immersion causes corrosion and oxidation, making disassembly difficult; if one blade fails, the entire rudder needs replacement, resulting in wasted resources. This new system improves the time and labor efficiency of blade replacement and installation.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a hydrodynamic layout azimuth propeller. Utility Model Content
