Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine vom Hauptantrieb unabhängige, wahlweise als passives Ruder oder als aktives Manovrierorgan einsetzbare Einrichtung für Schiffe mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to an independent of the main drive, either as a passive rudder or as an active maneuvering device for ships with the in the preamble of Claim 1 specified features.

Mit Vertikalachsenrotoren, die durch die DE-AS 19 41 652 bekannt geworden sind, ist zwar ein Manövrieren von Schiffen in beliebige Richtungen möglich, jedoch kann der dort vorgesehene Voith-Schneider-Propeller nicht als passives energiesparendes Ruder bei Marschfahrt verwendet werden Die Ursache dafür ist die Kinematik des Voith-Schneider-Propellers und dessen Flugelzahl. die keine widerstandsarme Ausrichtung der Flügel in Schiffslangsrichtung bzw unter einem erforderlichen Ruderwinkel ermoglichen. Mit dem Voith-Schneider-Propeller ist es ohne aktive Energiezufuhr nicht moglich, einen erforderlichen Kurswinkel des Schiffes zu realisierenWith vertical axis rotors, which are known from DE-AS 19 41 652, is indeed a maneuvering of ships in any direction is possible, but the one provided there can Voith-Schneider-Propeller not as a passive, energy-saving rudder when cruising The reason for this is the kinematics of the Voith-Schneider propeller and its number of wings. the no low-resistance alignment of the wings in the longitudinal direction of the ship or at a required rudder angle. With the Voith-Schneider propeller if there is no active energy supply, it is not possible to set the required course angle of the ship to realize

Mit den Einrichtungen dieser Art, die durch die DE 44 43 100 A1 bekannt geworden sind, ist es zwar möglich passive Ruderwirkung und aktive Schubwirkung zu erzielen, die Kinematik des Getriebes impliziert aber ein festes Steuergesetz. Bei aktiver Wirkungsweise besitzt der Rotor damit die Charakteristik eines Festpropellers. Die Schubvariation muß demzufolge über eine Drehzahländerung erfolgen Das erforderliche Planetengetriebe wird bei entsprechender Baueröße aufwendig und schwerWith the devices of this type, which are known from DE 44 43 100 A1 it is possible to achieve passive rowing and active thrust, the kinematics of the transmission implies a fixed tax law. When active, the Rotor thus the characteristic of a fixed propeller. The thrust variation must therefore be over the required planetary gearbox will be changed accordingly Construction size complex and heavy

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu überwinden und demgemäß eine Einrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß mit vergleichsweise geringem baulichem und konstruktivem Aufwand die passive. widerstandsarme Ruderwirkung und die aktive Schuberzeugung gewährleistet wird.The invention has for its object to overcome these deficiencies and accordingly one Develop device according to the preamble of claim 1 such that with comparatively the passive, with little structural and constructive effort. low resistance Rudder effect and active thrust generation is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Maßnahmen des Anspruches 1 gelöst, wobei die Anwendung eines separat steuerbaren. vom Hauptantrieb des Radkörpers unabhängigen Antriebes zum einen die erforderlichen Ruderausschlage bei passiver Nutzung der Einrichtung gewährleistet und zum anderen bei aktiver Nutzung der Einrichtung und Drehung des Radkörpers eine Relativbewegung und damit eine Anstromung des Flügels ermoglicht. die einen hohen gerichteten Schub bewirkt This object is achieved with the characterizing measures of claim 1, the Application of a separately controllable. independent of the main drive of the wheel body on the one hand the necessary rudder deflections with passive use of the facility guaranteed and on the other hand with active use of the device and rotation of the wheel body a relative movement and thus a flow to the wing is possible. the high one directed thrust

In der Zeichnung ist die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung veranschaulicht, wobei kon Einzelheiten fortgelassen sind und lediglich eine Draufsicht auf den Radkörper mit Flüg seperatem Antrieb in schematischer Form wiedergegeben ist.In the drawing, the device according to the invention is illustrated, where kon Details are omitted and only a top view of the wheel body with wing Separate drive is shown in schematic form.

Es zeigt:   Fig. 1 die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung mit zwei Ruderblättern1 shows the device according to the invention with two rudder blades

In Fig. 1 ist eine Einrichtung bezeichnet, die unabhängig von dem nicht dargestellten Hauptantrieb des Schiffes arbeitet und mit einem waagerecht, im Bereich des nicht dargestellten Schiffsbodens angeordneten Radkörper 2, einem bzw. mehreren von dem Radkörper vertikal nach unten ragenden Flügeln 3, einem bzw. mehreren separaten Antrieben 1 zur Steuerung der Flügelstellung bzw. der Flügelstellungen und einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb für den Radkörper 2 ausgestattet ist.In Fig. 1, a device is designated, which is independent of the main drive, not shown the ship works and with a horizontal, in the range of not shown Ship's bottom arranged wheel body 2, one or more of the wheel body vertically downward projecting wings 3, one or more separate drives 1 for controlling the Wing position or the wing positions and a drive, not shown, for the wheel body 2 is equipped.

Der Radkörper 2 ist um seinen Mittelpunkt drehbar gegenüber dem Schiffsboden gelagert und trägt exzentrisch einen bzw. mehrere Flügel 3, der um seine bzw. die getrennt um ihre Mittellängsachse in dem Radkörper 2 drehbar gelagert und mit einem Strömungsprofil ausgestattet sind.The wheel body 2 is rotatably supported about its center point relative to the ship's bottom and Eccentrically carries one or more wings 3, which are separated about its or about its central longitudinal axis mounted rotatably in the wheel body 2 and equipped with a flow profile are.

Im passiven Betriebszustand werden der Radkörper 2 blockiert und der bzw. die Flügel 3 so ausgerichtet, daß die Längsachse des bzw. der Flügel 3 bei Nullstellung mit der Schiffslängsachse A parallel verläuft, bei den Ruderausschlägen in entsprechenden Winkeln zu dieser. Die Ruderausschläge werden von den separaten Antrieben 1 auf den bzw. die Flügel 3 übertragen.In the passive operating state, the wheel body 2 and the wing (s) 3 are blocked aligned that the longitudinal axis of the wing or 3 at zero position with the longitudinal axis of the ship A runs parallel, with the rudder deflections at corresponding angles to this. The rudder deflections are from the separate drives 1 on the wing or wings 3 transfer.

Im aktiven Betriebszustand rotiert der Radkörper 2, wobei durch ein Steuergesetz der Antriebe 1 der bzw. die Flügel 3 in Abhängigkeit des Umlaufwinkels des Radkörpers 2 Winkeländerungen derart erfahren, daß ein Schub erzeugt wird. Die Schubrichtung ergibt sich aus den Steuergesetzen und ist 360° variabel. Die separate Steuerung der Antriebe 1 ermöglicht beliebige Winkeländerungen der Flügel bei einem Umlauf des Radkörpers 2. Damit kann bei vorgegebener Drehzahl des Radkörpers 2 der Schub variiert, bei Nullstellung der Flügel ein Leerlauf und über die Nullstellung hinweg eine Schubumkehr erzeugt werden. Die Einrichtung besitzt bei aktiver Betriebsweise die Charakteristik eines Verstellpropellers.In the active operating state, the wheel body 2 rotates, whereby the drives are controlled by a control law 1 the wing or wings 3 depending on the circumferential angle of the wheel body 2 changes in angle experienced in such a way that a thrust is generated. The direction of thrust results from the Tax laws and is 360 ° variable. The separate control of the drives 1 enables any Changes in the angle of the wings when the wheel body 2 rotates Speed of the wheel body 2, the thrust varies, with the wings in neutral, an idle and a thrust reversal is generated beyond the zero position. The facility owns the characteristic of a variable pitch propeller when the mode of operation is active.
