Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of ship control equipment and provides a hydraulic steering automatic rudder, including a first mounting plate. The first mounting plate has a first bearing seat fixedly connected to it, and a second bearing seat fixedly connected to its lower end. The second and first bearing seats are coaxially mounted on opposite sides of the first mounting plate. A first bearing is fitted to the inner wall of the first bearing seat, and a second bearing is fitted to the inner wall of the second bearing seat. An oil pump shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first bearing, with the shoulder of the oil pump shaft abutting against the inner ring of the second bearing. A large pulley is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the oil pump shaft, and a rudder pump is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the oil pump shaft. A thrust assembly is fitted onto the large pulley. This utility model has the advantages of enabling automated rudder control and adjusting the tension of the timing belt.
