[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a bow-side curved guide grille, comprising:

[0028] The outer edge of the vertical flat steel bar 1 matches the profile of the hull plate 6 at its location;

[0029] The longitudinal flat steel bar 2 has an outer edge line that matches the line shape of the hull plate 6 at its location, and the longitudinal flat steel bar 2 and the vertical flat steel bar 1 intersect perpendicularly to form a curved grid structure.

[0030] The connecting eye plate 3 is set at both ends of the vertical flat steel bar 1 and the longitudinal flat steel bar 2, and its outer edge line matches the line shape of the hull plate 6.

[0031] The curved flow guide grille, which matches the hull line 6 of the aforementioned hull, eliminates the spatial distance between the traditional planar flow guide grille and the hull line 6, reduces the presence of flow obstructions, and improves the ship's hydrodynamic performance.

[0032] The longitudinal flat steel strip 2 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves at equal intervals along the length direction in this embodiment, and the vertical flat steel strip 1 is embedded into the clamping grooves to realize the connection with the longitudinal flat steel strip 2. After the vertical flat steel strip 1 is embedded into the clamping grooves, it can be fixedly connected with the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 through the welding connection, thereby realizing the stable connection of the two.

[0033] Through the design of the clamping grooves, the connection of the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 is more accurate, avoiding the misalignment problem that may occur in traditional welding, improving the structural stability and strength of the flow guide grid; the embedded connection mode is convenient for disassembly and replacement of damaged flat steel strips, improving the maintenance convenience of the flow guide grid, simplifying the installation and maintenance process; the evenly spaced clamping grooves also ensure the uniform distribution of the connection points of the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2, further optimizing the structural layout of the flow guide grid, making it perform more uniformly and efficiently in water flow guiding, eliminating the gaps or protrusions that may occur in traditional connection, making the surface of the flow guide grid smoother, reducing the resistance when the water flows through, and improving the water flow guiding efficiency. These improvements significantly improve the overall performance of the flow guide grid, making it perform well in ship water power performance optimization and maneuverability improvement.

[0034] The cross-sectional width of the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 is the same as that of the vertical flat steel strip 1 in this embodiment. By ensuring that the cross-sectional width of the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 is the same as that of the vertical flat steel strip 1, the consistency and uniformity of the flow guide grid structure are realized, which helps to improve the overall strength and stability of the flow guide grid.

[0035] The connecting eye plate 3 is connected and fixed with the end portions of the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 through the bolts 4 and the nuts 5. By connecting and fixing the connecting eye plate 3 through the bolts 4 and the nuts 5, a simple and effective installation method is provided, which is convenient for the installation and maintenance of the flow guide grid.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting eye plate 3 is welded in the bow side thrust flow pipe 7 according to the position and is connected and fixed with the end portions of the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 through the bolts 4 and the nuts 5. After the bolts 4 and the nuts 5 are tightly fixed, they are respectively spot welded with the vertical flat steel strip 1, the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 and the connecting eye plate 3 at two to four points to prevent loosening. The plate thickness and cross-sectional width of the vertical flat steel strip 1, the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 and the connecting eye plate 3, as well as the material and specifications of the bolts 4 and the nuts 5, are determined according to the design strength.

[0037] In this embodiment, a connecting plate is added at the connection between the connecting eye plate 3 and the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 to improve the stability and reliability of the connection. The addition of the connecting plate at the connection between the connecting eye plate 3 and the vertical flat steel strip 1 and the longitudinal flat steel strip 2 enhances the stability and reliability of the connection and improves the structural strength of the flow guide grid.

[0038] Further, the intersection of the vertical flat steel bars 1 and the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 is provided with a reinforcing structure to enhance the overall strength and impact resistance of the flow guide grid. The reinforcing structure at the intersection of the vertical flat steel bars 1 and the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 significantly enhances the overall strength and impact resistance of the flow guide grid, improving its durability in severe sea conditions.

[0039] Further, reinforcing ribs are arranged on the back or inside of the vertical flat steel bars 1 and the longitudinal flat steel bars 2. The reinforcing ribs arranged on the back or inside of the vertical flat steel bars 1 and the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 further enhance the bending and compression resistance of the flow guide grid, improving its structural stability.

[0040] In the embodiment, the connecting eye plate 3 is provided with a drainage hole to prevent water accumulation. This design reduces the additional burden caused by water accumulation, improving the durability of the flow guide grid.

[0041] Further, the vertical flat steel bars 1, the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 and the surface of the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 are coated with an anti-corrosion coating. The design of the anti-corrosion coating improves the corrosion resistance of the flow guide grid, prolonging its service life.

[0042] It should be noted that the included angle α between the longitudinal flat steel bars 2 and the horizontal center line is determined by the water entry angle of the model test. In the model test, by measuring the performance indicators (such as water flow guiding efficiency, ship maneuvering performance, etc.) under different water entry angles, an optimal water entry angle can be determined. This optimal water entry angle directly determines the installation angle of the longitudinal flat steel bars 2, i.e. the included angle α. The setting of this angle aims to optimize the hydrodynamic performance of the flow guide grid, so that it can more effectively guide water flow in actual application, improving the maneuverability and energy efficiency of the ship.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clarity, and are not limited to the implementation. For ordinary skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
