DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The utility model provides an embodiment: a bow thrust cover action locking mechanism, including fixed ring 1, the top of fixed ring 1 inside is equipped with adjusting shaft 8, and adjusting shaft 8 is connected with fixed ring 1 through bearing, the outside of adjusting shaft 8 is equipped with sealing plate 2, and the center of fixed ring 1 is located on the path of revolution of sealing plate 2 dot with the axis of adjusting shaft 8 as the origin, the top of the rear end of fixed ring 1 is provided with adjusting mechanism 5, and adjusting mechanism 5 is welded with fixed ring 1, the inside of adjusting mechanism 5 is rotatably installed with worm wheel 9, and the center shaft of worm wheel 9 is fixed with adjusting shaft 8, the top of worm wheel 9 is provided with worm 10, and the thread outside worm wheel 9 and worm 10 is adapted, one side in adjusting mechanism 5 is equipped with driving arrangement, the outer ring of fixed ring 1 is equipped with a plurality of annular distribution bolt hole 4, is fixed with the bow thrust through bolt;
[0027] The contact surface between the worm 10 and the worm wheel 9 forms a helical friction transmission surface, the rotation of the worm 10 drives the rotation of the worm wheel, and in turn drives the adjustment shaft 8 to rotate, thereby driving the sealing plate 2 to rotate around the axis of the adjustment shaft 8 as the origin, until it is completely inside the fixed ring 1. Since the helix angle of the worm 10 is smaller than the friction angle, the worm wheel 9 will produce a self-locking effect when subjected to a reverse torque, i.e. the worm wheel 9 cannot be driven in reverse. Once the sealing plate 2 is rotated to completely enter the inside of the fixed ring 1 under the drive of the worm wheel 9, even if there is a force outside to open the sealing plate 2, the self-locking nature of the worm wheel 9 and the worm 10 can ensure that the sealing plate 2 remains in a closed state and cannot be easily opened.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 5 The drive device comprises a reduction motor 11, and the housing of the reduction motor 11 is fixed with the adjustment mechanism 5. The output shaft of the reduction motor 11 is provided with a driving bevel gear 12, and one end of the worm 10 is fixedly provided with a driven bevel gear 13 which is meshingly connected with the driving bevel gear 12. By turning on the reduction motor 11, the output shaft drives the driving bevel gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm 10 to rotate through the meshing of the driven bevel gear 13, forming a driving force transmission.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 6 The inner side of the side wall of the fixed ring 1 is provided with a first pressure sensor 14, and the upper side of the side wall of the fixed ring 1 is provided with a second pressure sensor 15. The output ends of the first pressure sensor 14 and the second pressure sensor 15 are connected to a single-chip microcomputer, and the output end of the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the reduction motor 11. When the sealing plate 2 contacts the first pressure sensor 14 during adjustment, the sensor sends a signal to the single-chip microcomputer, indicating that the sealing plate 2 has reached the preset opening position. Conversely, when the sealing plate 2 moves and contacts the second pressure sensor 15, another signal is sent to the single-chip microcomputer, indicating that the sealing plate 2 has reached the closed position. Based on these judgments, the single-chip microcomputer can intelligently control the rotation direction of the reduction motor 11, thereby driving the sealing plate 2 to open or close. Since the system can monitor the position of the sealing plate 2 in real time and automatically stop the rotation of the motor when the preset position is reached.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7, the outer side of the sealing plate 2 is provided with a groove 16, the inner side of the groove 16 is slidably provided with an elastic plate 3, the elastic plate 3 and the sealing plate 2 are provided with annularly distributed reset springs 17, the outer edge of the elastic plate 3 is provided with an inclined surface 18, after the bow thruster is closed by the sealing plate 2 entering the fixed ring 1, there is a recess structure between the fixed ring 1 and the sealing plate 2, the recess structure will damage the flatness of the ship side, thereby affecting the sailing efficiency, during the closing process of the sealing plate 2, the inclined surface 18 of the elastic plate 3 will be in contact with the fixed ring 1, and the horizontal force is converted into vertical force under the action of pressure, so that the elastic plate 3 enters the groove 16 of the sealing plate 2, when the sealing plate 2 reaches the closed position, the fixed ring 1 loses the support of the elastic plate 3, under the action of the reset spring 17, the sealing plate is ejected from the groove 16, and the recess between the fixed ring 1 and the sealing plate 2 is filled, so that the bow thruster keeps the flat structure of the ship side.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The rear end of the fixed ring 1 is provided with four annularly distributed piston mechanisms 6, and the movable end of the piston mechanism 6 extends to the inside of the fixed ring 1, the telescopic rod of the piston mechanism 6 extends, and the back of the sealing plate 2 is pressed, so that the sealing plate 2 is closely combined with the fixed ring 1, and the sealing effect after the sealing plate 2 is closed is improved.
