Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ship propulsion system consisting of a drive machine and according to a propeller shaft directly connected to it with a propeller the generic concept of the main claim.
  • This additional drive consists of an electric motor that has a Gearbox drives the propeller shaft or the propeller, in which case the Propeller shaft from the defective engine using a separator must be disconnected.
  • this auxiliary or Emergency operation lower propeller thrust compared to normal operation nevertheless be introduced into the hull.
  • a combined ship propulsion system is known from CH 173 968, in which For example, a piston machine and a turbine can be switched to the propeller shaft.
  • a piston machine and a turbine can be switched to the propeller shaft.
  • Torque completely separates the machine system from the propeller shaft.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a marine propulsion system with a prime mover and directly driven propeller shaft and an additional drive for the auxiliary or Specify emergency operation, the lower propeller thrust free of play for the Components of the separator can be introduced into the hull and no separate foundation is required for this.
  • the core of the invention is the connection of a known play-free clutch (see L&S message 84, lX / 82) with a backlash-free auxiliary pressure bearing, which can be used for auxiliary or Emergency operation of the ship can be activated.
  • a backlash-free auxiliary pressure bearing By means of this auxiliary pressure bearing reduced propeller thrust to a thrust bearing located in the engine transfer.
  • the coupling is preferably hydraulic, as is known per se acting conical pin coupling.
  • the special design of the Auxiliary thrust bearing guarantees that the components of the clutch from the influences of the Propeller thrust are kept clear, so that all parts can be positioned without play is guaranteed.
  • the solution according to the invention has the advantage that torque and Thrust transmission are clearly separated, being absolute in both cases Clearance of the individual components is the top requirement because of the large Torque and thrust fluctuations in the usual drive with two-stroke engines.
  • Another advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the clutch no separate foundation required. This in turn means that the two Thrust bearing, d. H. that in the prime mover and that associated with the clutch Auxiliary thrust bearing, can not influence each other.
  • the half-sided longitudinal section shows the design according to the invention Part of a ship's drive shown.
  • Prime mover usually a low-speed diesel is about one drive-side flange 1 and a switchable backlash-free to be explained in more detail
  • the connection of the propeller intermediate shaft 4 with the actual one Propeller shaft including the propeller attached to it are not here shown. It is only essential that this is a so-called direct drive is, in which the setting of the desired propeller speed via a Regulation of the speed of the drive machine takes place.
  • the arrangement of a transmission between the engine and the propeller is not necessary here. So the ship remains maneuverable even if the engine fails Additional drive provided.
  • This consists of either an engine or Generator-operated electrical machine 42 with a clutch 43 with a transmission 5 is connected.
  • the gear 5 is as Input gear formed and the large gear 6 is fixed on a sleeve 7, which surrounds the propeller intermediate shaft 4.
  • the connection of the transmission 5 with the Propeller intermediate shaft 4 takes place via a highly flexible coupling 8, which means an annular flange 9 is connected to the propeller intermediate shaft 4.
  • a pressure shaft 10 arranged for Attachment of the switchable clutch 2 and the auxiliary thrust bearing 3 is between the Propeller intermediate shaft 4 and the drive-side flange 1 a pressure shaft 10 arranged.
  • the switchable backlash-free clutch 2 is in a known manner as a pin clutch educated. It consists of an outer ring flange 11, an inner one Ring flange 12, a counter-holder flange 13 and conical bolt 14.
  • Ein Ring holder flange 15 takes over the holder and the guide for the conical Bolt 14, the conical bolts 14 by means of special holder nuts 16 against the ring holder flange 15 are clamped.
  • the end position for the open state the pin coupling 2 is provided by a pin 18 provided with a stop 17 fixed.
  • the details of the representation of the hydraulic displacement of the conical bolt 14 has been omitted here since they are not essential to the invention.
  • the torque transmission of the engaged pin clutch 2 to the pressure wave 10 or the propeller intermediate shaft 4 takes place via a U-shaped cross section trained flange 19, which via a screw connection 20 with the pressure shaft 10 connected is.
  • a backlash Auxiliary thrust bearing 3 integrated.
  • Over a Screw connection 21 is the drive-side flange 1 of the one not shown here Drive machine connected to an annular flange 22, the again via a screw connection 23 with the outer already mentioned Ring flange 11 of the pin coupling 2 is connected.
  • the ring flange 22 of the Auxiliary thrust bearing 3 is supported on the pressure shaft 10 via a bearing 24.
  • a pressure collar 25 can be pressed on the inside without play.
  • the axial Movement is possible via a conical suit on both the Pressure wave 10 as well as in the bore of the pressure collar 25.
  • the axial positioning of the pressure collar 25 takes place via a lock nut 35, which on a Threaded portion of the pressure shaft 10 is arranged.
  • the Pressure collar 25 held by an angled flange 26 which extends over a bearing 27 is supported on the pressure shaft 10.
  • an annular disk 28, 29 is arranged, which is provided with pressure stones are.
  • the angled flange 26 is connected to the ring flange 22 by screws 30 connected. This screw connection is secured by a nut 31, wherein a preload ring 32 is arranged between the nut 31 and the ring flange 22. This preload ring 32 cooperates with a lock ring nut 33.
  • the Lock ring nut 33 can by means of a not shown here Adjustment mechanism 34 can be released and clamped.
  • a possible embodiment is shown as a detail in Figure 2.
