50 results about "Ducted propeller" patented technology

A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is a shrouded propeller assembly for marine propulsion. The cross-section of the shroud has the form of a foil, and the shroud can offer hydrodynamic advantages over bare propellers, under certain conditions.

A design method for a fully azimuth-rotating adjustable pitch ducted propeller

This invention relates to the field of marine propulsion device manufacturing, specifically a design method for a fully azimuth-controlled adjustable-pitch ducted propeller. This method extracts the basic parameters of the ship's main engine and existing rudder propeller, and establishes an integrated arrangement scheme to replace the fixed-pitch propeller with an adjustable-pitch propeller while maintaining the original power parameters unchanged. Based on the theoretical diagram of the fixed-pitch ducted propeller, a hydrodynamic calculation program is executed, introducing correction factors for increased shell diameter ratio and slightly reduced disk area ratio, and forcibly lowering the theoretical thrust coefficient by 5%, to obtain the corrected target open-water characteristic curve. The overall rotational characteristics of the fully azimuth-controlled rudder propeller are utilized to provide thrust for reversing and steering, strictly limiting the pitch adjustment authority to adaptability requirements for low-speed navigation and providing maximum drag under multiple operating conditions. A single-crank slider mechanism is configured inside the propeller hub as the core rotor component, and a three-dimensional spatial layout is completed. An electro-hydraulic integrated servo control system, dominated by a PLC and incorporating a dual-pump parallel architecture and a built-in hydraulic lock, is established. This significantly reduces the frequency and physical amplitude of the propeller blade rotation angle.

This invention proposes a ducted propeller, comprising a tube body, a propeller body, and protruding units. At least one groove is formed on the inner wall of the tube body. The propeller body is disposed within the tube body and located at one end of the tube body. The groove is spirally arranged around the central axis of the tube body. Several protruding units are continuously and uniformly arranged within the groove along its spiral line. Adjacent protruding units are connected end-to-end. By forming a spiral-shaped groove on the inner wall of the tube body, the propeller wake is rectified. As the wake flows towards the outlet at the free end of the tube body, the circumferential velocity component of the wake gradually decreases under the action of the groove. This results in the circumferential velocity component at the wake outlet being significantly smaller than that at the wake inlet, thereby improving propulsion efficiency and reducing noise.

A ducted propeller hydrodynamic calculation method and its application

The present invention relates to the technical field related to propeller hydrodynamic performance simulation, and discloses a ducted propeller hydrodynamic calculation method based on the flow equality principle and its application. The method uses a body force model to replace the effect of the blades, introduces a mass flow correction coefficient λ in the processing of the advance rate, and calculates λ based on the principle that the mass flow of the physical ducted propeller is equal to the mass flow of the duct-matched body force model. The advance rate coefficient is then corrected by the mass flow correction coefficient λ, thereby correcting the low propeller thrust, duct thrust, and mass flow in the duct after the use of body force instead of the physical propeller.
