Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship propeller technology, and in particular to a ship anti-vortex fin propeller based on an energy-saving flow guiding device. Background Technology

[0002] Hub fins, also known as propeller hub cap fins, are propeller energy-saving devices formed by installing several appropriate blades on the surface of a regular propeller hub cap. On one hand, they absorb the rotational energy of the propeller wake, generating positive torque; on the other hand, they eliminate or reduce hub vortices, acting as a straightener, thereby reducing hub vortex drag and improving propeller efficiency.

[0003] Announcement No. CN217754065U discloses a novel marine propeller cap fin. This device connects the propeller hub and cap body using hexagonal slots and hexagonal inserts, along with studs and nuts, improving the connection stability and ensuring coaxial rotation of the hub and cap body, thus enhancing vortex elimination. The device includes a power shaft, propeller hub, multiple sets of blades, cap body, multiple sets of fins, and a connecting device. The power shaft is mounted on the ship. The propeller hub and cap body are connected via the connecting device, which includes two sets of studs, hexagonal inserts, two sets of nuts, and two sets of anti-loosening washers. A hexagonal slot is provided on the left side of the propeller hub. Both the cap body and the hexagonal inserts have two sets of through holes, corresponding to the positions of the two sets of studs. The two sets of nuts are detachably threaded to the two sets of studs. The two sets of anti-loosening washers are located between the two sets of nuts and the cap body.

[0004] In the aforementioned device, the different diameters at the connection points between the rotor hub and the cap make the transition between them less smooth.
