Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ruder für Seeschiffe, bestehend aus einem Hauptruder und einer an diesem angelenkten, durch das Hauptruder zwangsgeführten Flosse, die mit einer Gleitkolbenanlenkung aus einem an der Flosse ausgebildeten Gleitlager für einen Schwenkkolben versehen ist.The invention relates to a rudder for seagoing vessels, consisting of a main rudder and a fin articulated to it, guided by the main rudder, which is provided with a sliding piston linkage from a sliding bearing formed on the fin for a pivoting piston.

Für die Anlenkung der Flosse an das Hauptruder von Flossenrudern für Seeschiffe sind bereits die verschiedensten Lösungen vorgeschlagen worden.Various solutions have already been proposed for the articulation of the fin to the main rudder of fin rudders for seagoing ships.

So ist nach der DE-U-7 829 008 ein mittels eines Antriebes verstellbarer, mehrteiliger Strömungskörper zum Steuern von Wasserfahrzeugen bekannt. Dieser Strömungskörper besteht aus einem Hauptruder und einer Flosse, die an dem Hauptruder angelenkt ist. Um die Flosse verstellen zu können, ist diese mit einer Steuereinrichtung versehen, die aus einem benachbart zur Gelenkverbindung von Hauptruder und Flosse obenseitig in Längsrichtung des Strömungskörpers verlaufenden, auskragenden Tragarm mit einer Längsführung für einen Gleitschieber besteht, dessen dem Hauptruder zugekehrtes Ende einen senkrechten Zapfen trägt, der mit seinem Ende exzentrisch in einer um ihre senkrechte Mittelachse verdrehbare Antriebsscheibe gelagert ist. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung wird ein mehrteiliger Strömungskörper mit einer Steuereinrichtung zum Verschwenken des flossenartigen Teils des Strömungskörpers geschaffen, der in seiner Herstellung einfach und mühelos bedienbar sein soll. Aufgrund der geringen Anzahl an verwendeten mechanischen Bauteilen ist zwar eine sichere Funktionsweise der Steuereinrichtung gewährleistet, jedoch sind bei einem Verschleiß der Steuer- und Gleiteinrichtung aufwendige Arbeiten erforderlich, da ganze Konstruktionsteile dann ausgetauscht werden müssen.According to DE-U-7 829 008, a multi-part flow body that is adjustable by means of a drive for controlling watercraft is known. This flow body consists of a main rudder and a fin which is articulated on the main rudder. In order to be able to adjust the fin, this is provided with a control device which consists of a cantilevered support arm which runs adjacent to the articulated connection of the main rudder and fin on the upper side in the longitudinal direction of the flow body and has a longitudinal guide for a slide valve whose end facing the main rudder carries a vertical pin , which is mounted with its end eccentrically in a drive disk rotatable about its vertical central axis. Because of this configuration, a multi-part flow body with a control device for pivoting the fin-like part of the flow body is created, which should be easy and effortless to use in its manufacture. Due to the small number of mechanical components used Although a safe functioning of the control device is guaranteed, complex work is necessary if the control and sliding device is worn, since entire construction parts then have to be replaced.

Eine weitere Schiffsruderkonstruktion der eingangs erwähnten Gattung für ein Schiff mit einer wenigstens teilweise mit einem Mantel versehenen Schraube mit einem an dem hinteren Rand des Hauptruders angelenkten Hilfsruder, das mit einem Bedienungsmechanismus verbunden ist, der eine in einer Führungsbuchse verschiebbare Treibstange enthält und in einer zu der Ruderachse ungefähr senkrechten Ebene um einen hinter dieser liegenden Drehpunkt mit dem Schiffsrumpf drehbar verbunden ist, ist durch die DE-A-2 353 934 bekannt. Bei dieser Schiffsruderkonstruktion ist die Führungsgbuchse ungefähr horizontal und nahezu parallel zu der Ruderfläche auf dem Hilfsruder angeordnet, während die Treibstange drehbar auf einer hinter der Ruderachse angeordneten Achse gelagert ist und eine solche Länge hat, daß die Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Treibstange und der Führungsbuchse bei einem Ruderausschlag von 90° oder mehr nach wie vor gut funktioniert. Dieses Schiffsruder ist im wesentlichen so konstruiert, daß ein Querstellen des Ruders insbesondere dann möglich ist, wenn ein mit dieser Schiffsruderkonstruktion ausgebildetes Schiff in einer Schleuse liegt, um während des Durchschleusens nicht von dem Drempel der Schleusentore beschädigt zu werden.Another ship rudder construction of the type mentioned at the outset for a ship with an at least partially coated screw with an auxiliary rudder articulated on the rear edge of the main rudder, which is connected to an operating mechanism which contains a drive rod which is displaceable in a guide bushing and in one of them The rudder axis is connected to the ship's hull in an approximately vertical plane about a pivot point lying behind it, is known from DE-A-2 353 934. In this ship rudder construction, the guide bushing is arranged approximately horizontally and almost parallel to the rudder surface on the auxiliary rudder, while the drive rod is rotatably mounted on an axis arranged behind the rudder axis and has a length such that the cooperation between the drive rod and the guide bushing in the event of a rudder deflection of 90 ° or more still works well. This ship's rudder is essentially designed in such a way that the rudder can be turned sideways in particular when a ship designed with this ship's rudder construction lies in a lock so as not to be damaged by the drift of the lock gates during the passage.

Die Führung und Lagerung der einendseitig am Schiffsrumpf gelagerten Treibstange zur Steuerung der Flosse erfolgt mittels der Führungsbuchse, die waagerecht liegend im oberen Bereich der Flosse an dieser befestigt ist und durch die die Treibstange hindurchgeführt ist.The drive rod for the control of the fin, which is mounted on the ship's hull at one end, is guided and stored by means of the guide bush, which lies horizontally in the upper portion of the fin is attached to this and through which the drive rod is passed.

Als Gleitlager weist die Führungsbuchse in ihrem Innenraum eine Gleitpackung auf. Ist diese verschlissen und muß sie ausgetauscht werden, so sind umfassende Arbeiten erforderlich, denn um die Gleitpackung aus der Führungsgbuchse herausnehmen zu können, muß entweder die Flosse vom Hauptruder abgenommen werden, um die Führungsbuchse von der Treibstange abziehen zu können, oder die Treibstange muß in ihrem Anlenkungsbereich am Schiffsrumpf von diesem gelöst und aus der Führungsbuchse herausgezogen werden. Da die Führungsbuchse die Gleitpackung wandungsumschliessend aufnimmt, ist ein Herausnehmen der Gleitpackung aus der Führungsbuchse nach oben oder unten nicht möglich, sondern erst durch ein Auseinandernehmen der Gelenkverbindung kann die Gleitpackung freigelegt werden.As a slide bearing, the guide bush has a slide packing in its interior. If this is worn out and must be replaced, extensive work is required, because in order to be able to remove the slide pack from the guide bush, either the fin must be removed from the main rudder in order to be able to pull the guide bush off the drive rod, or the drive rod must be in their articulation area on the ship's hull are detached from it and pulled out of the guide bushing. Since the guide bushing receives the sliding packing around the wall, it is not possible to remove the sliding packing from the guide bushing upwards or downwards, but the sliding packing can only be exposed by dismantling the joint connection.

Alle bekannten Lösungen haben jedoch gemeinsam, daß die besonders leicht verschleißbaren Teile der Anlenkung zur Zwangsführung der Flosse nur mit einem hohen Kostenaufwand und überwiegend in Unterwasserarbeiten ausgetauscht werden können.However, all known solutions have in common that the particularly easily wearable parts of the linkage for the forced guidance of the fin can only be replaced at high cost and predominantly in underwater work.

Um bei einem aus einem Hauptruder mit einer angelenkten und zwangsgeführten Flosse bestehenden Ruder das Gleitlager der Flosse für den einendig am Schiffsrumpf angelenkten Schwenkbolzen so auszubilden, daß ein müheloses Austauschen der Verschleißteile auch durch ungeschultes Personal ohne Zuhilfenahme von Hebewerkzeugen und ohne Durchführung von Unterwasserarbeiten möglich ist, und darüber hinaus eine Zwangsführung der Flosse in Abhängigkeit von der Winkelstellung des Hauptruders bei ausschließlicher Kraftübertragung in der Horizontalen zu ermöglichen, wird in der EP-A- 0 051 822 B1 vorgeschlagen, das Gleitlager gabelförmig auszubilden und an den einander zugekehrten Wandflächen seiner beiden Gabelarme austauschbare Gleitklötze aus Kunststoffen, insbesondere Polyamid, zu verwenden. Jeder Gleitklotz soll in einer nach unten begrenzten und nach oben offenen Ausnehmung in der Wandfläche eines jeden Gabelarmes des Gleitlagers gehalten und gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Abziehen durch eine die obere Öffnung der Ausnehmung verschließende und lösbare Abdeckplatte gesichert sein.In a rudder consisting of a main rudder with a hinged and positively guided fin, the slide bearing of the fin for the pivot pin hinged at one end to the hull is designed in such a way that effortless replacement of the wearing parts is possible even by untrained personnel without the aid of lifting tools and without underwater work, and in addition a forced guidance of the fin depending on the angular position of the main rudder with exclusive To enable power transmission in the horizontal, it is proposed in EP-A-0 051 822 B1 to design the slide bearing in a fork shape and to use interchangeable slide blocks made of plastics, in particular polyamide, on the facing wall surfaces of its two fork arms. Each slide block is to be held in a downwardly limited and upwardly open recess in the wall surface of each fork arm of the slide bearing and is to be secured against unintentional removal by a cover plate which closes and removes the upper opening of the recess.

In Einzelfällen ist bei einer solchen Ausführungsform im Inneren der Lager ein unerwünschter hoher Kantendruck festzustellen, der zu übermäßigem Verschleiß und Abrieb und bisweilen zur Lockerung der Bronzeausfütterung am Scharnier führt. Auch können Schwingungen bei zu großem Spiel in dem Rudersystem die Scharnierhaltebolzen lockern, insbesondere dann, wenn sie nicht korrekt befestigt sind.In individual cases with such an embodiment, an undesirable high edge pressure can be found inside the bearing, which leads to excessive wear and abrasion and sometimes to loosening the bronze lining on the hinge. Vibrations can also loosen the hinge retaining bolts if there is too much play in the rudder system, especially if they are not correctly fastened.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, das eingangs genannte System dahingehend zu verbessern, daß der genannte Kantendruck minimiert und alle Teile so miteinander verbunden sind, daß Bewegungen mit ausreichenden Freiheitsgraden möglich sind. Hierdurch sollen die Lageroberflächen geschont und der Verschleiß entsprechend minimiert werden.It is an object of the present invention to improve the system mentioned at the outset such that the edge pressure mentioned is minimized and all parts are connected to one another in such a way that movements with sufficient degrees of freedom are possible. This is intended to protect the bearing surfaces and minimize wear accordingly.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei dem eingangs genannten Ruder dadurch gelöst, daß auch der Anlenkungsbolzen als ein in einem Gleitlager ausgebildeter Kolben ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme erhält das Ruder bzw. dessen bewegliche Teile eine weitgehende Schaffung von Freiheitsgraden, die gewährleistet, daß keine Lageroberfläche durch die Wirkung hochbelasteter Kanten stärker als nötig belastet wird.This object is achieved according to the invention in the aforementioned rudder in that the articulation pin is also designed as a piston formed in a slide bearing. With this measure, the rudder and its moving parts are largely created of degrees of freedom, which ensures that no bearing surface is stressed more than necessary by the action of highly stressed edges.

Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht Bewegungen mit ausreichenden Freiheitsgraden, die durch den Einsatz eines Scharnierbolzens zwischen den beiden in Gehäusen geführten Kolben erhalten werden, so daß Bewegungen in einem Winkelbereich von ± 90° möglich sind, wohingegen die bekannten Systeme durch den vorgegebenen Winkel von 90° starr ausgelegt sind. Bei einem Wanddruck auf das Ruder hervorgerufene und auf das System einwirkende Biegemomente werden durch die zylindrische Kolbenausgestaltung und durch die Anlenkung ausgeglichen, so daß Verkantungen des Systems nicht mehr auftreten können. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß nach dem Lösen der Scharnierverbindung zwischen den beiden Kolben diese in Kolbenlängsrichtung, d.h. in vertikaler und horizontaler Richtung, aus den am Schiffskörper und an der Flosse befestigten Gehäusen herausgezogen werden können. Auf diese Weise sind Reparaturen mühelos und ohne Ausbau der Flosse durchführbar.This configuration enables movements with sufficient degrees of freedom, which are obtained by using a hinge pin between the two pistons guided in the housing, so that movements in an angular range of ± 90 ° are possible, whereas the known systems are rigidly designed by the predetermined angle of 90 ° are. Bending moments caused by wall pressure on the rudder and acting on the system are compensated for by the cylindrical piston design and by the articulation, so that tilting of the system can no longer occur. Another advantage is that after loosening the hinge connection between the two pistons, these in the longitudinal direction of the piston, i.e. in the vertical and horizontal direction, from which the housings attached to the hull and the fin can be pulled out. In this way, repairs can be carried out effortlessly and without removing the fin.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

So sind vorzugsweise beide Kolben, nämlich der Schwenkkolben und der als Anlenkungsbolzen ausgebildete Kolben über einen Scharnierbolzen miteinander verbunden, der eine sichere und konstruktiv einfache Kupplung schafft.Both pistons, namely the pivoting piston and the piston designed as a pivot pin, are preferably connected to one another via a hinge pin, which creates a safe and structurally simple coupling.

Vorzugsweise bestehen beide Kolben aus Edelstahl und sind in Buchsen aus einer Bronzelegierung gleitfähig angeordnet.Both pistons are preferably made of stainless steel and are slidably arranged in bushings made of a bronze alloy.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Bronze-Ausfüllung für den zylindrisch ausgebildeten Kolben aus je einer in einem Gehäusemantel angeordneten Buchse. Die äußeren Grenzflächen der Bronzeausfüllung können abgedichtet sein, wobei die Abdichtung vorzugsweise aus einem pastösen Zwei-Komponenten-Metall besteht, das auch als "Belzona-R-Metall" bekannt ist. Dieses Metall besitzt nach dem Aushärten die Qualität bekannter Metalle und ist grundsätzlich zum Fugenabdichten und als Isolator zwischen Schwarz- und Bundmetallen geeignet.According to a further embodiment of the invention the bronze filling for the cylindrical piston from a sleeve arranged in a casing. The outer interfaces of the bronze fill can be sealed, the seal preferably consisting of a pasty two-component metal, which is also known as "Belzona-R metal". After hardening, this metal has the quality of known metals and is basically suitable for joint sealing and as an insulator between black and collar metals.

Zum Schutz gegen Seewasser bzw. verschmutztes und sandhaltiges Wasser werden vorzugsweise alle beweglichen Teile durch O-Ringe geschützt, so daß ein geschlossenes Schmiersystem entsteht.To protect against sea water or polluted and sandy water, all moving parts are preferably protected by O-rings, so that a closed lubrication system is created.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ruder besteht aus einem Hauptruder 20 mit einer an diesem verschwenkbar angeordneten und zwangsgeführten Flosse 10, die mit einer Gleitschwenkkolbenanlenkung 100 versehen ist, die in Fig.2 bis 6 näher dargestellt ist. Diese wird gebildet aus einem horizontal angeordneten Edelstahlkolben 11, der in einem Lagergehäuse 12 verschiebbar angeordnet ist, dessen Innenmantel mit einer Bronzeausfüllung 13 ausgekleidet ist. Der aus dem Gehäuse ragende Kolbenteil ist über einen Scharnierbolzen 14 mit einem vertikal beweglichen Edelstahlkolben 15 verbunden, der seinerseits in einem Lagergehäuse 16 verschiebbar angeordnet ist, das ebenfalls mit einer Bronzeausfüllung 17 ausgekleidet ist. Der Scharnierbolzen 14 gewährleistet, daß auch eine Abweichung aus der 90°-Position ausgeglichen werden kann. Der Horizontalbolzen ist an der Flosse 10 angebunden, während der Vertikalkolben 15 die Verbindung zum Schiffsrumpf darstellt. Wie anhand von Fig.5 erkennbar, besteht die Bronzeausfüllung für den Horizontalkolben 11 aus einer Buchse. Der jeweils entlang der Längsachse der Gleitkolben 11 und 15 gebildete obere und untere Rand der Bronzeausfüllung 13 und 17 kann kegelförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei an den jeweils kegelig ausgebildeten äußeren Grenzflächen der sich ergebende Freiraum mit einer Abdichtung versehen ist, insbesondere aus einem pastösen Zwei-Komponenten-Metall.The rudder shown in Fig. 1 consists of a main rudder 20 with a forcibly guided fin 10 which is pivotably arranged thereon and which is provided with a sliding pivot piston linkage 100, which is shown in more detail in Figs. This is formed from a horizontally arranged stainless steel piston 11, which is displaceably arranged in a bearing housing 12, the inner jacket of which is lined with a bronze filling 13. The piston part protruding from the housing is connected via a hinge pin 14 to a vertically movable stainless steel piston 15, which in turn is arranged displaceably in a bearing housing 16, which is also lined with a bronze filling 17. The hinge pin 14 ensures that a deviation from the 90 ° position can also be compensated for. The horizontal bolt is attached to the fin 10, while the vertical piston 15 represents the connection to the ship's hull. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the bronze filling for the horizontal piston 11 consists of a bushing. The upper and lower edge of the bronze fillings 13 and 17 formed along the longitudinal axis of the sliding pistons 11 and 15 can be conical, the resulting free space being provided with a seal at the respective conical outer interfaces, in particular made of a pasty two-component -Metal.

Der Bolzen 14 ist samt sonstiger Verbindungselemente, wie Sicherungsschrauben etc. nach außen durch Sicherungsplatten abgedeckt.The bolt 14 is covered with other connecting elements, such as locking screws, etc. on the outside by locking plates.

Zur Dämpfung von Kolbenstößen, d.h. zur Vibrations- und Schwingungsdämpfung ist in dem Lagergehäuse 16 für den Kolben 15 das an seinem dem Schiffsrumpf zugekehrte Ende verschlossen ausgebildet, oberhalb des Kolbens 15 ein Polster 30 aus einem gasförmigen Medium, wie Luft, oder aus einem flüssigen Medium, wie Wasser, ausgebildet (Fig.3).For damping piston shocks, ie for vibration and vibration damping, the end facing the ship's hull is in the bearing housing 16 for the piston 15 formed closed, a cushion 30 made of a gaseous medium, such as air, or of a liquid medium, such as water, formed above the piston 15 (FIG. 3).

Die Kolben und/oder Gleitflächen sind wasser- oder fettgeschmiert, wodurch die Gleitfähigkeit sich bewegender Teile erhöht wird.The pistons and / or sliding surfaces are lubricated with water or grease, which increases the sliding properties of moving parts.
