Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a marine contra-rotating propeller apparatus.
  • the CH-B-185,336 discloses a contra-rotating propeller apparatus for an aircraft but usable for propelling a ship, too.
  • the inner shaft is directly coupled to the engine on one end and to the stern-side propeller on the other end.
  • the outer shaft is jointed to the bow-side propeller and said outer shaft is driven via a transmission gear mechanism.
  • the first gear of said mechanism being fixed to the inner shaft while the last gear is jointed to the outer shaft.
  • No elastic coupling is provided however, while it is conventional in marine propulsion thus to prevent the transmission of vibration between the propeller and the engine, so that the problem is posed as to how to incorporate such a coupling.
  • a conventional marine contra-rotating propeller apparatus which is now described, by way of a detailed example, with reference to Fig. 1 said marine contra-rotating propellers are composed of the combination of a stern-side propeller 1 and a bow-side propeller 2.
  • the torque delivered by a main diesel engine 7 is transmitted to a planetary gear mechanism 5 through an elastic coupling 6 which eliminates any variation component or vibration component of the torque.
  • the torque transmitted to the planetary gear mechanism 5 rotates an inner shaft 4 through a spur gear meshing with a planet gear and the revolution of the planet gear is taken out from an outer shaft 3 so that the outer shaft 3 is rotated in the opposite direction to that of the inner shaft 4 and a substantially equal torque is transmitted to both the shafts 3 and 4.
  • the propellers 1 and 2 are rotated in the opposite directions to each other at the substantially same revolution speed depending on the design of a shape of the propellers.
  • the contra-rotating propellers are designed to be rotated in the opposite directions to each other with the torque and the revolution speed being substantially equal and with the high efficiency of propulsion.
  • the thrust developed by the stern-side propeller 1 and the bow-side propeller 2 is transmitted through the inner shaft 4 and the outer shaft 3 to a ship body by means of a thrust bearing 8.
  • the elastic coupling 6 smooths the variation component of the torque and serves to protect the gears of the planetary gear mechanism 5 for reversing the revolution direction.
  • both the propellers 1 and 2 of the contra-rotating propeller apparatus are rotated in the opposite directions to each other at the same revolution speed using the planetary gear mechanism 5, the number of revolutions of the main diesel engine is reduced (the reduction ratio is 3 or more) to be transmitted to the propellers. Accordingly, if a low-speed diesel engine having an output shaft rotated at a low revolution speed (for example, 70 revolutions/minute) is used, the revolution of the propellers is reduced below a desired optimum revolution speed and the efficiency of propulsion is deteriorated.
  • a middle- speed diesel engine having an output shaft rotated at a relatively high revolution speed for example, 450 revolutions/minute
  • it can not obtain the advantages of the low-speed diesel engine such as good fuel consumption rate, easiness in maintenance and usability of bad quality fuel although the revolution of the propellers can be set near a desired maximum revolution speed and the improved efficiency of propulsion can be expected.
  • the main diesel engine is provided at its output shaft with a separate speed reduction or increase device to adjust the revolution of the planetary gear mechanism at its input side so that the torque ratio is optimized. (Since the main diesel engine possesses a rated output power and revolution speed, a continuous revolution speed can not be selected).
  • a main engine in a large ship mainly uses a low-speed diesel engine due to the above advantages. Since the low-speed engine is directly coupled to the propeller through a shaft generally, the main engine contains a thrust bearing therein in a standard configuration. If the planet gear is disposed between the main diesel engine and the propeller, the thrust bearing is required to be provided between the propeller and the planet gear. Consequently, the thrust bearing in the main engine merely serves to stop the movement of a crank shaft of the main diesel engine and the capacity thereof is too large. (In Fig. 1, the thrust bearing 8 receives the thrust of the propellers 1 and 2 while the thrust bearing (not shown) in the main engine does not receive the thrust of the propellers).
  • Figs. 2 to 4 illustrate a propeller driving system of a ship equipped with a conventional contra-rotating propeller apparatus using by way of example a parallel shaft gear system.
  • numeral 01 denotes a stern-side propeller, 02 a bow-side propeller, 03 an inner shaft for driving the stern-side propeller, 04 an outer shaft for driving the bow-side propeller, 05 a parallel shaft gear device for driving the bow-side propeller, 06 a parallel shaft gear device for driving the stern-side propeller, and 07 a main engine.
  • One or more main engines 07 are used to transmit the torque to the inner shaft 03 and the outer shaft 04 to rotate them in the opposite directions through the parallel shaft gear device.
  • an idle gear 5a produces the inverse revolution.
  • the revolution direction of each main engine 07 which transmits the torque to the inner shaft 03 and the outer shaft 04 is changed to rotate the inner shaft 03 and the outer shaft 04 in the opposite directions.
  • the above conventional driving system possesses the following drawbacks. Since . the main engine 07 is not in alignment with the inner shaft 03 and the outer shaft 04, a wide space is required forthe arrangement of the main engine 07 and the driving devices 03, 04, 05 and 06. If a plurality of main engines 07 are used, a cost thereof is high, and a merit of the contra-rotating propeller apparatus which itends to reduce a running cost due to the improved propulsion performance can not be effected.
  • the invention concerns a marine contra-rotating propeller apparatus for propelling a ship, comprising an inner shaft 4,104,204 having one end which is directly coupled to an output shaft 9 of a main diesel engine 7 and the other end to which a stern-side propeller 1,101,201 is mounted, and an outer shaft 3,103,203 having one end which is coupled to said inner shaft 4,104, 204 through a reversing transmission mechanism 20, 110, 205 resp. 206 and the other end to which a bow-side propeller 2 is mounted, an elastic coupling 6, 106, 207 being provided between said inner shaft 4 resp. 9, 104, 204 and said reversing transmission mechanism 20, 110 while no flexible coupling is provided between said stern-side propeller 1, 101, 201 said inner shaft 4, 104, 204 and said diesel engine 7, 107.
  • the stern-side propeller is directly coupled through the intermediate inner shaft to the main diesel engine to be driven by means of the engine of which the output and the outer shaft is inversely rotated through the elastic coupling and the reversing transmission mechanism to rotate the bow-side propeller, the reverse revolution, the revolution speed and the torque distribution between the inner shaftforthe stern-side propeller and the outer shaft for the bow-side propeller can be freely obtained and the revolution performance for driving the contra-rotating propellers is remarkably improved over the marine apparatus described above.

  • the reversing transmission mechanism and the gears may be protected by the output transmission performance exhibited by means of a flanged friction coupling and the elastic coupling so that the revolution performance for driving the contra-rotating propellers is further improved and reliability of the apparatus is extremely improved.

  • the revolution speed and the torque distribution for the input outer shaft and the outer shaft can be remarkably freely set up and the special planetary gear mechanism sufficiently absorbs the movement in the thrust direction of the outer shaft to protect the gears.
  • the inverse revolution, the revolution speed and the torque distribution of the bow-side propeller for the stern-side propeller are extremely enhanced, and the revolution performance and the reliability of the contra-rotating propellers are remarkably improved.
  • the planetary gear mechanism can be formed to relatively simple and small structure and be provided to be inexpensive since the large planet gear is merely provided.
  • the excellent propeller revolution performance as described above allows the low-speed main diesel engine possessing various characteristics to be adopted and be effectively utilized, and further the characteristics of a conventional bevel gear group is exhibited.
