Description

Marine propeller with cooling system

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of marine propellers, in particular to a marine propeller with a cooling system.

Background

At present, marine propellers are widely applied to ships, and comprise a motor and a propeller as a power device for driving a ship body to move forward. For this reason, a cooling system is usually provided on the marine propeller, and the cooling system is usually water-cooled, and generally includes a water pump, which directly sucks water from the river channel, and the sucked water flows into a cooling channel of the motor housing, exchanges heat with the motor, and then is directly discharged into the river channel. Although the external circulation cooling mode can also achieve the purpose of cooling the motor, the use time is long, and the blockage phenomenon of a cooling channel is easy to occur due to the fact that water in a river channel is not clean, and normal heat exchange cannot be achieved. And a single cooling mode is adopted, so that the heat exchange effect is to be further improved.

Meanwhile, in order to be suitable for running in a shallow river, the existing marine propeller also adopts a double-propeller structure, for example, the structure disclosed in the document with the publication number of CN205396502U in chinese patent publication, the propeller comprises a motor, a transmission mechanism and propellers, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises a vertically arranged gear shaft, a horizontally arranged propeller shaft, a first bevel gear sleeved on the propeller shaft, and a second bevel gear meshed with the first bevel gear, the two propellers are installed at two end parts of the propeller shaft, during operation, the motor drives the gear shaft and the second bevel gear to rotate through a coupler, and then the propeller shaft and the two propellers are driven to rotate through the second bevel gear.

In addition, a document with chinese patent publication No. CN209938914U discloses a similar structure, in which two coaxially distributed propeller shafts are provided, two propellers are respectively mounted on the respective propeller shafts, respective first bevel gears are mounted on the respective propeller shafts, and the two first bevel gears are located on two sides of the second bevel gear and are respectively engaged with the second bevel gear.

Adopt this kind of bevel gear group engaged with's mode, though also can realize the transmission to set up two screws, under equal power, thrust is shared by two screws, and it is little relatively to make the screw, does benefit to the hull and traveles in shallow water river course, and the twin-screw is changeed the commentaries on classics, and the partial vortex through first screw loss can be absorbed by the second screw, can improve the efficiency of screw to a certain extent.

However, analysis of the transmission mechanisms in the two documents shows that, due to the adoption of the meshing mode of the two bevel gears, in order to ensure flexible and impact-free meshing operation of the two bevel gears, the meshing clearance between the two bevel gears cannot be too large or too small, otherwise, the gears are abraded, and in severe cases, the gear teeth can be broken. However, the requirement can increase the processing difficulty and the assembly requirement, and particularly, the defect can be more obvious under the condition that two bevel gears are meshed with one bevel gear at the same time; and the transmission efficiency of the bevel gear is low. Secondly, more important defect is that this kind of transmission mode leads to two screw to be the same speed rotation, and rivers are after the acceleration rate of first screw, and during the rethread second screw, this strand of pressure boost rivers are not utilized well to the second screw, but discharge rivers with the same rotational speed, have wasted the acceleration rate effect that first screw gave promptly.

Therefore, the existing marine propeller still needs to be further improved.
