Definitions

  • the invention relates to an auxiliary rudder on an electric rudder propeller, which is rotatably disposed under the stern of a fast seagoing ship and serves as a main rudder for the ship, wherein the electric rudder propeller comprises an electric motor in a housing which is arranged at the end of a support shaft which is rotatable connected to the stern of the ship and an operating method for the auxiliary rudder and a special use of the auxiliary rudder.
  • auxiliary rudder for an electric rudder propeller which is arranged at the trailing edge of the support shaft for the housing of the electric motor.
  • this known auxiliary rudder it is disadvantageous that it lies in the swirling outflow zone of the support shaft for the housing of the electric motor and also partly in the swirling outflow of the ship's tail.
  • the movement of the known auxiliary rudder is hydraulic. Overall, a complex, heavy design results with impaired effect.
  • Other auxiliary rudder configurations are known from EP 1 270 402 A1 known. However, an operating method for these auxiliary rudder configurations that allows for optimized control of the vessel under different operating conditions is not disclosed. This document is considered relevant for Article 54 (3) EPC.
  • an operating method for the auxiliary rudder which controls the movements of the auxiliary rudder in dependence on the ship's speed. It is provided that the adjustment speed and / or the maximum adjustment angle is set as a function of speed ranges.
  • the speed ranges are e.g. once the area small ride, once the area average ride and once the range fast ride. In these areas, the auxiliary rudder is used differently to suit its operational task.
  • auxiliary rudder in naval vessels, which are e.g. Waterjets in the central nave area, with which the ship can be controlled and powered even with stationary rudder propellers.
  • stationary rudder propellers the ailerons are operated independently and can be used both as a high speed rudder and as a support rudder for the control of the waterjets.
  • Their function as support rudder they practice in the event of failure of the Rudderpropellerfanen. For this they have advantageous from the rudder propeller engines separate electrical lines, so that there is a redundant rudder system for a fast-moving ship.
  • FIGURE 1 1 designates the underside of the stern of the ship and 3 the draft propeller and 4 the thrust propeller of the electric rudder propeller 7.
  • the number 5 denotes the riding unit of the auxiliary rudder 6 which is attached to a stationary part 2.
  • This auxiliary rudder design responds relatively insensitive to changes in the propeller flow and is mechanically highly resilient.
  • FIGURE 2 showing an electric rudder propeller with a tractor propeller 9
  • the auxiliary rudder 10 is formed as a pre-balanced rudder.
  • 8 electrical windings are arranged in the housing of the electric rudder propeller, which are, for example, over the outer wall of the housing 8 are heated. This results in a particularly slim shape of the housing 8 of the electric rudder propeller with little turbulence of the passing water.
  • the effect of the auxiliary rudder is correspondingly good.
  • the auxiliary rudder 10 is e.g. via a shaft with a worm wheel 12 and an electric motor with pinion 11 moves. These units can be advantageously arranged in the free end behind the housing 8 of the electric rudder propeller. Between the auxiliary rudder 10 and the free end of the housing 8 is a fin 13, which is integrally formed on the housing end and exerts a stabilizing effect in fast straight-ahead driving.
  • FIG. 3 13 designates the control unit of the ship, the setpoint generator for the rudder positions and flaps, eg the flaps 21 at the end of a waterjet.
  • the setpoint generators are provided with ramps and work, for example, as a function of the speed.
  • the control unit advantageously corresponds to the usual state of ship automation and has programmable controllers, for example of the type SIMATIC S7, Siemens.
  • the locking system 15 for the individual rudder system components is advantageously carried out in this technique.
  • the locking system 15 reliably prevents the auxiliary rudder control unit 18 from performing a rotational movement indicated by the double arrow 20 when the azimuth control unit controls a rotational movement for the entire rudder propeller indicated by the double arrow 19.
  • the automation system also has a control unit 16 for the control valves of the water jets or on.
  • control flaps 21 are controlled via a unit 22, e.g. when the electric rudder propellers have failed. It is understood that the control units shown are redundant, so that e.g. when hitting a ship's side in a naval (navy) ship, the entire ship still remains taxable and motive.
  • the control of the rudder systems is dependent on the ship's speed.
  • the ship is powered only by the electric Rudderpropellerantrieb.
  • the ship's direction is controlled at this speed only with the rotation of the electric rudder propellers and arranged on these Azimuthantrieben.
  • the position of the auxiliary rudder is advantageously locked in the zero position relative to the housing.
  • the twist angle of the electric rudder propeller is unlimited and is 0 to 360 degrees.
  • the ship's direction is controlled essentially with the rotation of the electrical Rudderpropellerantriebssystems.
  • the angle of rotation for the electric rudder propellers is limited and is e.g. in the range of 0 to ⁇ 40 degrees.
  • the auxiliary rudder then operates either as a locked trim rudder or, preferably when the top speed range is reached, as a support rudder with a deflection relative to the main rudder formed by the electric rudder propeller itself, as required.
  • faster rudder maneuvers result, in particular a faster initiation of rudder maneuvers.
  • the ship At a ship speed that is slightly above the speed achievable by the electric rudder propellers, the ship is essentially propelled by the waterjet engines.
  • the Rudderpropeller rotate with, but do not produce the significant propulsion.
  • the ship's direction is controlled primarily only with the rotation of the auxiliary rudder.
  • In the lower speed range can also be the combination of the auxiliary rudder with or the steering flaps of the waterjet drives for a faster rowing maneuver be useful.
  • the rudder position of the ship can only be done with the steering flaps of the waterjet drives.
  • the Azimuthantriebe of electric rudder or pitchers are locked when using the waterjets in their zero position. This position may differ slightly from the zero position for hydrodynamic reasons, e.g. in the range ⁇ 5 degrees. Thus, a stable straight ahead without permanent rudder pad maneuvers can be achieved.
  • the ship is powered by the combined combination of electric rudder propeller and waterjet drives.
  • the ship's direction is then controlled primarily by the rotation of the auxiliary rudder.
  • the combination of the auxiliary rudder with the steering flap (s) of the waterjet drives can also make sense.
  • the Azimuthantrieb the electric Rudderpropeller is locked at maximum speed advantageous in the zero position. This position may also differ slightly from the zero position for hydrodynamic reasons, e.g. in the range of 0 to ⁇ 5 degrees. This results in a particularly stable straight-ahead driving behavior.
  • the thruster system is independent of the ship's other propulsion and control systems, and is typically manually operated by control means, e.g. by separate pushbuttons or a joystick, operated. This actuation process is also usually lockable so that it can not be inadvertently put into operation at higher speeds.
