Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine technology, and specifically relates to a stern rudder steering control device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of marine navigation, the performance of the rudder steering control system directly affects the ship's navigation safety and maneuverability. With the increasing complexity of the current marine operating environment, stringent requirements are placed on rudder steering control systems; traditional rudder steering control systems have significant shortcomings in terms of mechanical structure. The connection between the rudder and the steering support is not adequately adapted to the complex stress conditions of the ship. The connection between the rudder and the steering support is often inflexible, making it difficult to effectively decompose and transmit forces when subjected to external forces, often leading to component damage due to stress concentration. Therefore, the force transmission path design in the transmission structure is suboptimal, failing to efficiently convert driving force into steering power for the rudder. For example, when the drive components apply longitudinal force, due to an unreasonable force transmission structure, this longitudinal force cannot be reasonably converted into lateral oscillation power for the rudder, resulting in low steering efficiency and making it difficult for the ship to change course quickly and accurately during navigation.

[0003] Furthermore, from the perspective of structural strength and water resistance optimization, the traditional rudder blade itself has insufficient structural strength. When faced with the impact of turbulent water flow and the forces brought about by frequent turning, it is very easy to deform, affecting the turning effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a stern rudder steering control device that can solve the problems of low rudder steering efficiency and long-term obstruction and easy damage during steering.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

The top end of the pull rod 122 is connected to the power source, and the bottom end is movably connected to the linkage rod 121, for driving the rudder blade 10 to rotate in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the hull.

[0007] The technical effects of the stern rudder steering control device provided by this utility model are as follows: by setting a fixed base, steering bracket, rudder blade and linkage mechanism, the rudder blade can rotate precisely in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the hull, effectively improving the ship's handling performance; through the coordinated work of the linkage rod and the pull rod, the stability and reliability of the rudder blade steering process are ensured, and the control accuracy and response speed of the ship during navigation are greatly improved.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the stern rudder steering control device of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

The linkage rod 121 is a hollow tube with guide grooves 1211 on both sides that are adapted to the guide blocks 1221, which are used to rotate in accordance with the displacement of the pull rod 122.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting the guide groove, a precise rotation guide is provided for the linkage rod, which effectively controls the sway error during the steering process of the rudder blade; the design of the inner cavity not only enhances the structural strength of the steering bracket, but also provides a good motion guidance and support environment for the linkage mechanism, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the overall device.

[0013] Furthermore, the root of the rudder blade 10 is provided with a groove at its top, and the rudder blade 10 and the bottom end of the linkage rod 121 are connected to the groove via a connecting shaft.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by optimizing the connection between the rudder blade and the steering bracket through the groove at the root of the rudder blade, the precise positioning and uniform force of the rudder blade are ensured, the stability and accuracy of the rudder blade during the steering process are guaranteed, and friction and wear during the steering process are effectively reduced.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer surface of the rudder blade 10 is provided with three reinforcing ribs 14 parallel to the long side of the rudder blade 10. The reinforcing ribs 14 are 2 mm higher than the surface of the rudder blade 10. The edge of the rudder blade 10 is streamlined and the chamfer radius of the edge is 1 mm to reduce water resistance.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: By designing three reinforcing ribs and streamlined edges on the outer surface of the rudder blade, the hydrodynamic performance of the rudder blade is optimized. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the rudder blade and reduce its deformation at high speeds. The streamlined edge design and chamfering treatment can effectively reduce water resistance, improve the ship's navigation efficiency and fuel economy, and at the same time reduce the vibration and wear of the rudder blade in the water.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer surface of the steering bracket 11 is coated with a 0.5 mm thick anti-corrosion coating.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting a 0.5 mm thick anti-corrosion coating, the corrosion of the metal surface by seawater is effectively isolated, and the service life of the steering bracket is extended; the coating can not only prevent corrosion, but also reduce surface friction, further improving the smoothness and efficiency of the rudder steering mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper surface of the fixing base 13 is machined with a flatness tolerance at the micrometer level.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer surface of the linkage rod 121 is provided with an anti-jamming coating.
