Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ruder nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a rudder according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der deutschen Auslegeschrift 25 55 098 ist ein Ruder für Wasserfahrzeuge bekannt. Das Ruder ist unterhalb des Schiffskörpers angeordnet und umfasst ein Ruderblatt mit einem Ruderschaft und eine an dem Ruderblatt schwenkbar gelagerte Flosse. Die Flosse ist durch Steuerelemente verschwenkbar. Das Ruderblatt ist durch ein Ruderkokerlager gelagert.From the German Auslegeschrift 25 55 098 is known a rudder for watercraft. The rudder is disposed below the hull and includes a rudder blade with a rudder stock and a fin pivotally mounted on the rudder blade. The fin is pivotable by controls. The rudder blade is supported by a rudder rod bearing.

Bei dieser Lösung ist es nachteilig, dass die Flossensteuerung gegen äußere Einwirkungen, wie Druck, Schlag oder Stoß nicht geschützt ist.In this solution, it is disadvantageous that the fin control is not protected against external influences, such as pressure, impact or shock.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Ruder derart zu verbessern, dass die Flossensteuerung gegen äußeren Druck, Schlag oder Stoß geschützt ist.The invention has for its object to improve the rudder so that the fin control is protected against external pressure, shock or shock.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Ruder mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 in Verbindung mit seinen Oberbegriffsmerkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved by a rudder with the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with its preamble features.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Schutzelemente wird die Flossensteuerung in wirksamer und einfacher Weise gegen äußere Einflüsse geschützt.By the protective elements according to the invention, the fin control is effectively and easily protected against external influences.

Schläge oder Stöße werden praktisch durch die Schutzelemente aufgefangen, so dass keine Beschädigung der Flossensteuerung möglich ist.Bumps or impacts are practically absorbed by the protective elements, so that no damage to the fin control is possible.

Zudem haben die zusätzlichen Leitelemente die Aufgabe, die Wasserströmung zu leiten, insbesondere dann, wenn nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung die Schutzleitelemente als Leitbleche oder Spoiler ausgeführt sind. Diese sind vorzugsweise an einem feststehenden Schiffsteil befestigt. Durch diese Ausführung führen die Leitbleche das Wasser des Propellerabstromes an den Steuerelementen vorbei, so dass dabei Verwirbelungen im Bereich der Steuerelemente vermieden werden.In addition, the additional guide elements have the task to direct the flow of water, especially when, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the protective guide elements are designed as baffles or spoiler. These are preferably attached to a fixed part of the ship. Through this design, the baffles lead the Water of Propellerabstromes past the controls, so that turbulence in the area of the controls are avoided.

Da ein sehr hoher Druck im Bereich der Schutzleitelemente durch den Propellerantrieb entstehen kann, ist es günstig, wenn diese am Schiffsrumpf fest verankert sind. Damit haben die Leitbleche keine negativen Auswirkungen auf die Rudereigenschaft selbst bei einer starken durch den Schiffspropeller verursachten Wasserströmung.Since a very high pressure in the region of the protective guide elements can arise due to the propeller drive, it is favorable if these are firmly anchored to the hull. Thus, the baffles have no negative impact on the Rudereigenschaft even with a strong caused by the ship's propeller water flow.

Verbessert wird dieser Effekt, wenn die Schutzleitelemente wasserströmungsgünstig gebogen bzw. geformt sind. Damit wird insgesamt die Strömungseigenschaft des Schiffes verbessert, weil Verwirbelungen im Ruderbereich auf ein Minimum reduziert werden.This effect is improved if the protective baffles are bent or shaped in a water-flow favorable manner. This overall improves the flow characteristics of the ship, because turbulence in the rudder area is reduced to a minimum.

Eine kostengünstige Befestigungslösung ergibt sich außerdem, wenn die Schutzleitelemente L-förmig geformt sind, und zwar mit einem ersten Schenkel, der als Befestigungsschenkel ausgeführt ist, und einem zweiten Schenkel, der als Leitschenkel ausgeführt ist. Der um 90° gebogene Befestigungsschenkel kann an dem Schiffskörper beispielsweise verschweißt werden. Durch die vergrößerte Befestigungsfläche kann eine Vielzahl von Schweißpunkten bzw. eine stabile Befestigung realisiert werden.An inexpensive fastening solution also results if the protective guide elements are L-shaped, with a first leg, which is designed as a fastening leg, and a second leg, which is designed as a guide leg. The bent by 90 ° mounting leg can be welded to the hull, for example. Due to the enlarged mounting surface, a plurality of welds or a stable attachment can be realized.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Lager als ein als Ruderkokerlager ausgeführtes Kraglager ausgebildet, welches mit seinem Ende fest mit dem Schiffskörper verbunden ist und mit einer Innenbohrung versehen ist, die einen Ruderschaft aufnimmt. Diese Lösung hat sich als eine stabile und bewährte Konstruktion herausgestellt.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bearing is designed as a designed as rudder cantilever jib bearing, which is connected at its end fixed to the hull and is provided with an inner bore which receives a rudder stock. This solution has proven to be a stable and proven design.

Grundsätzlich ist die Flossenbewegung abhängig von der Ruderbewegung, so dass die Flosse stets entgegengesetzt zum Ruder geschwenkt wird. In einer Variante der Erfindung ist die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung so ausgeführt ist, dass die Flosse unabhängig von der Steuerung des Ruderblattes verschwenkbar ist. Dadurch können beispielsweise sehr schnelle und exakte Wendemanöver ausgeführt werden. Durch die geringe Trägheit der Flossen gegenüber dem Ruder kann diese sehr schnelle Richtungsänderungen ausführen.Basically, the fin movement is dependent on the rudder movement, so that the fin is always pivoted opposite to the rudder. In a variant of the invention, the fin control device is designed so that the fin is independent of the control of the rudder blade is pivotable. As a result, for example, very fast and accurate turning maneuvers can be performed. Due to the low inertia of the fins relative to the rudder this can perform very fast changes in direction.

Wird die Flosse mit Hilfe von hydraulischen Stellelementen oder anderen empfindlichen Vorrichtungen bewegt, dann kommen die erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbleche optimal zur Geltung.If the fin is moved by means of hydraulic actuators or other sensitive devices, then the fenders of the invention are optimally appreciated.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert, wobei weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung und Vorteile derselben beschrieben sind.An embodiment will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, wherein further advantageous developments of the invention and advantages thereof are described.

In den Figuren sind gleiche Teile mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen.In the figures, like parts are given the same reference numerals.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Ruder 1 für Schiffe. Das Ruder 1 umfasst ein Ruderblatt 2 und einer an diesem angelenkten Flosse 3. Das Ruderblatt 2 ist mit der Ruderflosse über ihre Länge scharnierartig verbunden, wobei mehrere ineinandergreifende Scharnieransätze 8 vorhanden sind, durch die ein oder mehrere nicht zu sehende Scharnierbolzen hindurchragen. Fig. 1 shows an inventive rudder 1 for ships. The rudder 1 comprises a rudder blade 2 and a fin 3 hinged thereto. The rudder blade 2 is hingedly connected to the rudder fin along its length, there being a plurality of interlocking hinge lugs 8 through which one or more hinge lugs, not to be seen, protrude.

Das Ruder 1 bzw. das Ruderblatt ist durch ein Lager 4 verschwenkbar, welches in bekannter Weise ausgeführt sein kann, beispielsweise als Ruderkokerlager. Drehbar ist das Ruderblatt 2 um ein Ruderschaft 5, das sich vom Schiffskörper 6 in das Profil des Ruderblattes 2 erstreckt.The rudder 1 or the rudder blade can be pivoted by a bearing 4, which can be designed in a known manner, for example as a rudder trunk bearing. The rudder blade 2 is rotatable about a rudder stock 5 which extends from the hull 6 into the profile of the rudder blade 2.

Das Ruder als Vollschweberuder ist vorzugsweise mit einer Konuskupplung 7 ausgestattet, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. Das gezeigte Ruder ist weiterhin als so genanntes Balance-Profilruder ausgeführt.The rudder as Vollschweberuder is preferably equipped with a cone clutch 7, as in Fig. 2 is shown. The rudder shown is still designed as a so-called balance-profile rudder.

Weiterhin ist das Ruder 1 mit einer Steuerungselemente 10a, 11a, 12a umfassenden Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung S versehen. Diese ist außerhalb des Ruderblattes 2 angeordnet, und zwar in Lagernähe zwischen dem Schiffskörper 6 und dem Ruderblatt 2.Furthermore, the rudder 1 is provided with a fin control device S comprising control elements 10a, 11a, 12a. This is located outside of the rudder blade 2, in close proximity to the bearing between the hull 6 and the rudder blade second

Die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung S bewegt die Flosse 3 in entgegengesetzter Richtung zur Bewegung des Ruderblattes, so dass das Ruder bei Manövern wie gekrümmt wirkt und so eine bessere Ruderwirkung entfaltet. Die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung S besteht aus einem Flossenausleger 10, einem Rumpfausleger 12 und einem Verbindungsbolzen 11, der eine Drehung des Flossenauslegers 10 erlaubt. Durch Festhalten des Flossenauslegers 10 im Bereich des Verbindungsbolzens 11 entsteht die gewünschte Flossenbewegung.The fin control device S moves the fin 3 in the opposite direction to the movement of the rudder blade, so that the rudder acts as if curved during maneuvers and thus develops a better rudder effect. The fin control device S consists of a fin boom 10, a fuselage boom 12 and a connecting pin 11, which allows rotation of the fin boom 10. By holding the fin boom 10 in the region of the connecting bolt 11, the desired fin movement is created.

Wie Fig. 3 veranschaulicht, ist in unmittelbarer Nähe des Ruders 1 ein Schiffspropeller 13 platziert, und zwar unterhalb des Schiffsrumpfes 17 und zwischen Schiffskörper 6 und Ruder 1. Daher wird das Ruder 1 von einer starken Wasserströmung während der Schiffsbewegung durchflossen.As Fig. 3 1, a ship's propeller 13 is placed in the immediate vicinity of the rudder 1, below the hull 17 and between hull 6 and rudder 1. Therefore, the rudder 1 of FIG a strong flow of water flowed through during the ship's movement.

Erfindungsgemäß sind an einem Schiffsteil, und zwar insbesondere am Schiffskörper 6 selbst, seitlich der Steuerungselemente 10a bis 12a Schutzleitelemente L angebracht. Vorzugsweise ist für jede Seite ein einziges Schutzleitelement L vorhanden, das die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung S überdeckt, wie die Figuren zeigen.According to the invention, protective elements L are attached to the side of the control elements 10a to 12a on a ship part, in particular on the hull 6 itself. Preferably, for each side a single protective guide L is present, which covers the fin control device S, as the figures show.

Vorzugsweise sind die Schutzleitelemente als Leitbleche oder Spoiler ausgeführt, die an einem feststehenden Schiffsteil bzw. dem Schiffsrumpf 17 befestigt und daher fest verankert sind.Preferably, the protective guide elements are designed as baffles or spoiler, which are fastened to a fixed part of the ship or the hull 17 and therefore firmly anchored.

Die Leitbleche L schützen die Steuerungselemente 10a bis 12a vor Beschädigung, beispielsweise durch Druck oder Stoß.The baffles L protect the control elements 10a to 12a from damage, for example by pressure or impact.

Wie die Fig. 3 veranschaulicht, können die Leitbleche L wasserströmungsgünstig gebogen sein. Sie sind zum Beispiel rundlich um die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung S geformt, so dass die Wasserströmung um diese vorbeigeführt wird. Dies verursacht wenig Verwirbelungen, was zu einem erhöhten Wirkungsgrad führt.As the Fig. 3 illustrated, the baffles L can be bent water flow favorable. For example, they are rounded around the fin control device S, so that the water flow is passed around them. This causes little turbulence, resulting in increased efficiency.

Wie die Fig. 1b zeigt, in der ein einzelnes Leitblech L gezeigt ist, ist dieses L-förmig geformt. Es ist mit einem ersten Schenkel 14 versehen, der als Befestigungsschenkel ausgeführt ist und mit einem zweiten Schenkel 15 versehen, der als Leitschenkel ausgeführt ist. Der Leitschenkel dient als Schutzplatte.As the Fig. 1b shows, in which a single baffle L is shown, this is L-shaped. It is provided with a first leg 14, which is designed as a fastening leg and provided with a second leg 15, which is designed as a guide leg. The guide leg serves as a protective plate.

Wie die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen, kann das Leitblech auch plattenförmig sein. Er muss auch nicht relativ lang sein. Am unteren Ende des Leitbleches L ist dieser zum Beispiel an einem feststehenden Seitenausleger 16 befestigt, wobei in Fig. 6 die Ansicht von unten erfolgt.As the Figures 5 and 6 show the baffle can also be plate-shaped. It does not have to be relatively long either. At the lower end of the baffle L this is for example attached to a fixed side arm 16, wherein in Fig. 6 the view is from below.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf dieses Beispiel beschränkt, so kann das Ruder auch eine andere Lagerverbindung aufweisen.The invention is not limited to this example, so the rudder may also have a different bearing connection.

Zwar ist das Lager beispielsweise als ein als Ruderkokerlager ausgeführtes Kraglager ausgebildet, welches mit seinem Ende fest mit dem Schiffskörper verbunden ist und mit einer Innenbohrung versehen ist, die einen Ruderschaft aufnimmt. Andere Ausführungsformen des Ruders sind jedoch auch möglich.Although the bearing is designed, for example, as a cantilever bearing constructed as a cantilever bearing, which is connected at its end fixed to the hull and is provided with an internal bore which receives a rudder stock. However, other embodiments of the rudder are also possible.

Auch kann die Flossensteuerungsvorrichtung so ausgeführt sein, dass die Flosse unabhängig von der Steuerung des Ruderblattes verschwenkbar ist. So können elektrische oder hydraulische Lösungen eingesetzt werden.Also, the fin control device can be designed so that the fin is pivotable independently of the control of the rudder blade. Thus, electrical or hydraulic solutions can be used.

Die Schutzleitelemente sind bevorzugter Weise so angeordnet und ausgebildet, das bei einer Ruderblattstellung für eine Geradeausfahrt des Schiffes die Schutzleitelemente mit den Seitenwänden des Ruderblattes 2 fluchten bzw. in der Verlängerung der Seitenwände des Ruderblattes 2 liegen, so dass im Übergangsbereich zwischen den Schutzleitelementen und den Seitenwänden des Ruderblattes 2 es nicht zu Strömungsturbulenzen im Propellerabstrom kommen kann.The protective guide elements are preferably arranged and designed so that at a rudder blade position for a straight ahead of the ship, the protective elements are aligned with the side walls of the rudder blade 2 or in the extension of the side walls of the rudder blade 2, so that in the transition region between the protective baffles and the side walls of the rudder blade 2 it can not lead to turbulence in the propeller stream flow.
