Description

Marine drive
Technical field
The present invention relates to marine drive (marine drive).
Background technology
Marine drive can be divided three classes easily.They are:
(i) inboard engine;
(ii) outboard engine;
(iii) stern actuator (stern drive).
Inboard engine and outboard engine are discussed in 845 the preamble in US Patent 6,186, this patent disclosure an a kind of embodiment who is called the actuator of stern actuator.In this actuator, engine installation is gone up or the inboard of the horizontal material of tail at the horizontal material of the tail of ship (transom), and its axle drive shaft passes and leads to gear cluster and the propeller shaft that is positioned at the fairing lower end in horizontal material of tail and the fairing outside hull downwards.
Must derive from two factors by technical complexity to be processed in the actuator on the quarter.At first, fairing must be around the rotation of vertical or vertical substantially axis, thereby guides angle of rake thrust with respect to the front and back straight line with an angle, turns to allowing.The second, must can " brachymemma " fairing, that is to say fairing is tilted to change its gradient around horizontal axis.This guides angle of rake thrust with on even keel or with respect to horizontal direction with the angle of needs.This motion also is used for the lifting fairing so that ship can be loaded onto on the trailer or sail to the bank.
US Patent 6,186,845 specification sheets disclose a kind of stern actuator, the banking motion of the fairing that the gradient of the divertical motion of its permission fairing and adjustment fairing is required, and allow fairing to be lifted so that ship can be placed on the trailer.
PCT specification sheets WO 2004/085245 discloses another stern actuator.Though do not really want the tabulation that provides tediously long, in US Patent specification 6,468,119,5,601,464,4,037,558,3,847,108 and 3,166,040 also discloses other forms of stern actuator.
Traditional stern actuator is based on such layout: the crank shaft of engine drives output shaft by universal coupling, perhaps more commonly by two universal couplings.Propose to use the constant speed plunging joint to replace universal coupling.Output shaft be level or basic horizontal, and drive a gear cluster, the output shaft of gear cluster is vertical or vertical substantially.This vertical output shaft drives lower tooth wheels, and these lower tooth wheels drive propeller shaft again.
Gimbal table (gimbal) is provided, and it is carrying driving engine and is being installed on the fixed part of ship.Gimbal table is generally used for around vertical or approaching vertical axial-movement.Spindle arm is connected in this gimbal table.By the vertical installation axis rotation gimbal table around gimbal table, this gimbal table and whole fairing can be shifted around the vertical axis of gimbal table, thereby guide angle of rake thrust and make ship to turn to an angle with respect to the front and back straight line of ship.
Fairing is installed on the gimbal table round the axis of approximate horizontal.By utilize one or more pressure cylinders (ram) around this horizontal axis with respect to gimbal table this fairing that tilts, this fairing can be received short (trim up or down) up or down, so that store.
Be arranged on the universal or constant speed plunging joint of crank shaft between horizontal output shaft and allow these axles when fairing and gimbal table (around vertical steer axis) are mobile, relative to each other to move, and allow to move with respect to gimbal table (around the receipts minor axis (trim axis) of level).
A version of this standard system becomes feasible commercial recently.In this form, gimbal table is installed aboard ship so that move around horizontal axis with fairing, makes fairing can receive weak point.This fairing is installed on the gimbal table so that move around vertical axis with respect to gimbal table.For the purpose that turns to, spindle arm is shifted with respect to gimbal table fairing around this vertical axis.
US Patent specification 6,186,845 mounting structure has been avoided the use universal coupling, but has such shortcoming: whole driving engine and fairing are moved in receiving short motion.This means except driving engine occupied space, its normal position, also must provide additional space, and for storing purpose when lifting fairing, driving engine can move in this space.
The gear cluster of above-mentioned traditional stern actuator can comprise: by the first taper pinion of the crankshaft drives of driving engine, with engagement of the first taper pinion and first and second finishing bevel gear cuters of rotation round about, be used for first finishing bevel gear cuter or middle tap gear are connected to the reverse clutch of first lateral shaft.This first lateral shaft will thereby rotation in the opposite direction, this depends on that coupled is first or the middle tap gear.The rotation of first lateral shaft is passed to output shaft.
First and second finishing bevel gear cuters coaxially are carried on first lateral shaft, be in the opposite both sides of the first taper pinion, and power-transfer clutch thus be used for first or the middle tap gear be connected to first lateral shaft, thereby between forward and reverse state, change the hand of rotation of output shaft.Each first and second finishing bevel gear cuter can have outshot, defines bevelled interface, and power-transfer clutch can comprise the clutching member between first and second finishing bevel gear cuters, and clutching member is connected to first lateral shaft by helical spline.By endwisely slipping on first lateral shaft, clutching member can be connected to first or the middle tap gear, and engages with the conical clutch face of one of two finishing bevel gear cuters.
The orientation of helical spline makes: if clutching member be connected to first or the middle tap gear in the lump moment of torsion is delivered to first lateral shaft from finishing bevel gear cuter, then be pulled into certain finishing bevel gear cuter and engage by clutching member and this clutching member of mutual action between the spline.As a result, power-transfer clutch keeps engaging, and moment of torsion is transmitted and needs very little power to come engaging clutch simultaneously.But, overcome from engaging the spline effect and the required power of cut-off clutch may be very big.The mechanism of clutching member translation on first lateral shaft thereby must on clutching member, apply axial substantially power.
In this type gear group, power-transfer clutch by operating with fork-shaped finder slide engaging and disengaging element on first lateral shaft, joins clutching member in the circumferential translation groove to traditionally.But this finder obviously must be avoided finishing bevel gear cuter, and finder needs the space, and this is an ancillary cost (premium) for gear cluster, and the special requirement of these finders has hindered the development of compact novel stern actuator.Should remember that gear cluster is positioned at the rear of the horizontal material of tail, and the hydrodynamics character of marine drive may have a strong impact on by the size of gear cluster, gear case, cylindrical drum etc.,

In Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, gear cluster and reverse clutch illustrate at mark 46 places, and more detailed diagram is arranged in Fig. 8, illustrate in greater detail each element of power-transfer clutch in Figure 10 to 12.Gear cluster and reverse clutch 46 are in the housing 44.In Fig. 8, show the sealing situation of bearing and sealing member 42.This bearing but does not illustrate above sealing member in the drawings.
Input shaft 48 has row's spline (not shown), makes it can be fastened onto the crank shaft (not shown) of driving engine 12.This axle 48 rotates in bearing 52 and 54, and bearing installation is in bearing sleeve 56, and bearing sleeve 56 bolted connections are to housing 44.Nut 58 is anchored on bearing 52,54 axle 48 and shows sealing at mark 60 places.Bearing sleeve 56 has male splines and arm 20 is connected in this spline.
Housing 44 comprises semi-cylindrical two shells 44.1,44.2 and core 44.3.
The first taper pinion 62 is integral with input shaft 48.First finishing bevel gear cuter 64 and middle tap gear 66 coaxially are supported on first lateral shaft 68, and first and second finishing bevel gear cuters 64,66 and the first taper pinion 62 mesh at two opposite sides.First and second finishing bevel gear cuters 64,66, and should be appreciated that on first lateral shaft 68 in bearing 70 upper supports, and first and second finishing bevel gear cuters are contrarotation, and the motion of this and first lateral shaft is irrelevant.Outer bearing 72 is set, is used for first and second finishing bevel gear cuters 64,66 are installed in the core 44.3 of housing unit 44.
First lateral shaft 68 has helical spline 74, the first lateral shafts that form along its core and passes tubular clutching member 76.This clutching member 76 has complementary internal helicoid spline.Clutching member 76 has exterior conical clutch surface 78, and the interior tapered clutch surfaces 80 of the complementation that forms respectively in the projection 82 of this clutch surfaces and first and second finishing bevel gear cuters 64,66 matches.
Clutching member 76 can slide on the helical spline of first lateral shaft 68 spirally, thereby makes one of its clutch surfaces 78 engage with the corresponding clutch surfaces 80 of first finishing bevel gear cuter 64 or middle tap gear 66.In case be engaged, clutching member 76 will rely on the mutual action between the helical spline that himself is drawn to engage position.
Therefore clutch component is designed under reverse state first finishing bevel gear cuter 64 is connected to first lateral shaft 68 by clutching member 76, under forward condition, middle tap gear 66 is connected to first lateral shaft 68, and under neutral state, neither first finishing bevel gear cuter is not connected to first lateral shaft with the middle tap gear yet, otherwise perhaps.
Screw pair gear 84 is bonded on first lateral shaft 68 and rotation in bearing 86.This pinion 84 and helical wheel 88 engagements of installing similarly, this helical wheel 88 is bonded to second lateral shaft 90.The second taper pinion 92 is anchored on second lateral shaft 90 and meshes rotation in the part of this third hand tap gear formation output shaft 96 and the bearing in being installed in bear box 100 98 with third hand tap gear 94.This bear box 100 is in the pivot structure of being pointed out by mark 146.Jump ring 148 remains on housing 104 in this structure 146.
This output shaft 96 is formed with female splines, allows it to be connected to the tilting axis 106 that has male splines, and taper pinion 110 is in the lower end of tilting axis 106, meshes to drive propelling unit 36 with gear 26.
Should be noted that in Fig. 8 the left of housing 44 is designed for admits other one group of screw pair gear (pinion) and helical wheel (gear).For the ship that has two stern actuators, it is favourable that the gear cluster that the gear cluster of a stern actuator is arranged on housing 44 left sides, another stern actuator is arranged on housing 44 the right.
With reference now to Figure 10 to 12,, the details of the clutch component 102 of the part of formative gear group and reverse clutch 46 comprises: selector rod 168, it can coaxially slide in first lateral shaft, the 68 inner central aisles 170 that form, central aisle forms since the opposite end of that end with driving pinion 84 of first lateral shaft, and promptly the left side from figure begins.
Two finder pins 172 are along the footpath horizontal expansion round about of selector rod 168, near its right-hand member.The form of finder pin 172 is hollow pin and has the interior projection of circumferential slot that can be received in slidably in the selector rod 168 separately.In this embodiment, selector rod 168 can be with respect to 172 rotations of finder pin.
In alternate embodiment of the present invention, the projection of sliding in the groove that does not have in selector rod 168, to form, finder pin 172 can be the form of passing the single pin of the transverse holes in the selector rod.In this embodiment, selector rod 168 and finder pin 172 rotate together.
Two radially opposite grooves 174 are formed in first lateral shaft 68, extend to the interior outside face in zone that is in helical spline 74 of axle from central aisle 170.Each groove 174 has the diameter width about equally with finder pin 172, and roughly aligns with helical spline 74.
Be formed with two sunken insides in clutching member 76, they are the form of radial hole 176, and radially opposite and coaxial.The diameter in each hole 176 is substantially equal to the external diameter of finder pin 172.
Finder pin 172 passes groove 174 from selector rod 168 and extends into hole 176, and at this place's bearing fit.Therefore, if selector rod 168 axially slides in central aisle, then finder pin 172 slides in groove 174 and moves axially clutching member 76.It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that finder pin 172 and clutching member 76 are not pure axial with respect to the motion of first lateral shaft, but spiral, because the finder pin slides in groove 174 and clutching member slides on helical spline 74.This screw motion of clutching member 76 allows its clutch surfaces 78 to engage as described above and be disengaged with clutch surfaces 80.
This finder pin 172 is remained on its position by the holding element (not shown), the jump ring in 176 outer ends, holding element such as hole or be in the maintenance spring that extends around the periphery of clutching member in the circumferential slot 178.
Power-transfer clutch 102 can be actuated in some kinds of modes, axial motion is applied to selector rod 168.But in graphic the preferred embodiments of the present invention, this power-transfer clutch comprises: be contained in the diaphragm 180 in the chamber 182, in chamber, can diaphragm be shifted to the left or to the right by apply hydraulic pressure to a side of diaphragm in chamber.In transversary, diaphragm 180 is connected in selector rod 168, thereby the displacement of diaphragm causes the longitudinal travel of selector rod, and therefore operated clutch as described above.
Pass that selector rod 168 extends and finder pin and selector rod thereby in the embodiment of first lateral shaft, 68 rotations at finder pin 172, selector rod can be connected in diaphragm 180 by bearing, to slide rotatably in this annexation.
Utilize hydraulic actuating and pass the member that central aisle 170 and groove 174 extend to clutching member 76 from diaphragm 180, make the clutch actuating mechanism become very compact, ten fens keys of this point, because it has formed the gear cluster that must be contained in the housing 44 and the part of power-transfer clutch 46, and housing 44 must be rotated as the part of the steering-effecting of stern actuator 10.
Difference shown in stern actuator as claimed in claim 7 and Fig. 1 to 6 is that axle 96 drives the pinion 112 of the upper end of the first inclination output shaft 114.Gear 116 engagements of the upper end of this pinion 112 and second tilting axis 118.Axle 114,118 has taper pinion 120,122 in its lower end.Finishing bevel gear cuter 124,126 other on the propeller shaft 128,130 of these taper pinions and two contrarotations meshes.
Fairing 24 (see figure 9)s comprise two side members 132,134 and upper-part 136.The bottom of these parts 132,134 is roughly semi-cylindrical and admits propeller shaft 28 (or propeller shaft 128,130).Say that more specifically axle sleeve 30 is parts (seeing Fig. 5,6,7) of front end osed top pipe 138 and holds bearing 34.Two semicolumns of parts 132,134 partly hold this pipe 138.
Parts 132,134 have horizontal fishplate bar 140 in the top, and horizontal fishplate bar is fastened onto parts 136 in the manufacturing process of fairing.
Tilting axis 106 (or tilting axis 114,118) is in the rectangular outer cover 142 of bevelled, and this rectangular outer covering on is sandwiched in the manufacturing process between the parts 132,134.
Referring to figs. 1 to 8, structure 146 has two relative cylindrical end 150, and each cylindrical end all centers on the cylindrical protrusions 152 of the counterpart of housing 44.2,44.3 extends, and bearing 154 is between this cylindrical end and the projection, and they are all coaxial with axle 90.Therefore, pivot structure 146 can rotate around the axis of axle 90, and is being with the therewith rotation of housing 100 and axle 96.In such motion, gear 94 " rolling (roll around) " pinion 92.
Outer cover 142 is anchored on the lower end of structure 146 by the bolt (not shown).Pure ornamental outside plate 144 is set to hide inner structure.
The arm 158 that forms the part of pivot structure 146 is connected to the bar 162 of pressure cylinder 164 by attaching parts 160.The cylinder body 166 of pressure cylinder 164 is parts of housing 44.
Also have two pressure cylinder (not shown) that are parallel to pressure cylinder 164.These pressure cylinders have the stroke of specific pressure cylinder 164 weak points.All three pressure cylinders all are used for for the purpose of receiving short (trimming) makes fairing 24 displacements, and required power is (significant) that can not ignore with respect to the thrust that propelling unit 36 is applied on the fairing.Lifting fairing 24 to store
If with reference to Fig. 6, will find that attaching parts 160 meets at right angles with bar 162.Therefore, the downward power that is applied on the fairing 24 can not got back in the cylinder body 166 by catch bar 162.
