Definitions

  • the invention relates to a nozzle propeller for ships, in particular for offshore vehicles, tractors and inland vessels, or ships in which according to the prior art, a nozzle enclosing the propeller makes sense, with a fin system and a fixed, non-rotatable nozzle.
  • Such jet propellers also have a fixed propeller, colloquially also called “ship's propeller", surrounded by the nozzle.
  • a nozzle propeller drive units of watercraft in particular of ships, referred to, which include a propeller, which is surrounded by a nozzle, which is designed as a nozzle ring, or sheathed.
  • nozzle rings are also called “Kortdüsen”.
  • the arranged inside the nozzle propeller is fixed.
  • jet propellers in the prior art in which the nozzle surrounding the propeller is designed to be stationary.
  • an additional maneuvering arrangement in particular a rudder, in the propeller effluent, d. H. Seen in the direction of ship behind the jet propeller, be arranged.
  • jet propellers are also known in the prior art, in which the nozzle is rotatable about the arranged inside the fixed propeller. Such rotatable nozzle propellers can be used to control the vessel, so that additional maneuvering facilities, such as rudders, may be omitted.
  • the present invention relates to fixed nozzle jet propellers only and not to rotary die nozzles.
  • the nozzle or the nozzle ring has the function to increase the thrust of the drive.
  • nozzle propellers are also common in tugs, supply vessels, u. Like. Used, each of which must apply a high thrust.
  • the nozzle designed as a nozzle ring is normally a tapered tube which forms the wall of the nozzle.
  • two fins attached to the nozzle and projecting into the nozzle interior, opposite and viewed in a cross-sectional view are each provided on a vertical center axis of the nozzle propeller in front of the propeller.
  • DD 267 383 A3 is a guide for influencing the inflow in single and multi-screw inline ships known. Shown is a single relatively large pre-fin fin arrangement disposed below the propeller axis and vertically aligned, and two existing rocker arms. Described is an inclination angle of an entry edge of the guide surface of at least 20 ° relative to the clamping plane.
  • the single guide surface generates in essential areas of the propeller circular area in the inflow of a circumferential component opposite to its direction of rotation as Vordrall in front of the propeller, whereby the propeller works energetically cheaper and is loaded more evenly during its rotation.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a nozzle propeller of the type mentioned, which allows compared to the known jet propellers increased speeds or increased Trossenrat the same engine performance. Furthermore, it should be achieved that more water is streamlined directed to the entire propeller, whereby fuel is saved at the same power of the machine.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that a (pre-whirl) fin system for jet propellers, in particular for Kortdüsen, to increase the Trossenzuges is particularly favorable, namely in the aforementioned arrangement of the fins. Due to this arrangement of the fins of the fin system, an increase of the tugger train by 10% or a power saving of up to 10% is achieved.
  • propeller-impacting side of the nozzle propeller is understood to mean that side of the nozzle propeller in which, in a cross-sectional view, the propeller rotates from the bottom to the top during forward travel. Accordingly, the propeller turns on the propeller off-striking side from top to bottom.
  • the propeller-upturned and deflecting sides are separated by an imaginary inner vertical line seen in a cross-sectional view.
  • the guide vanes forming the fin system are flow guide surfaces in the sense of stators, which are arranged on the nozzle propeller and influence the propeller inflow.
  • the fins are normally fixedly arranged on the nozzle propeller.
  • the one Fin fin is to be placed completely on the propeller-facing side in this minimal fin system.
  • Guide fins which are exactly between the propeller-impacting and -ab toden side, ie arranged with respect to their longitudinal axis on the vertical center line of the nozzle propeller, according to the invention either to neither of the two sides (propellerab wayde and -auf tode side) or counted on both sides. If a fin is possibly arranged so that it is not completely arranged but with a predominant portion on one side, it is attributed to the purposes of the present invention this page.
  • the fins or fins are to be distinguished from pure nozzle propeller protection devices, such as protective grille o. The like., Which should only prevent objects from entering the nozzle propeller.
  • vanes or fins are flow guide surfaces that significantly influence the flow.
  • the fin fins forming the fin system are arranged in the region of the nozzle propeller.
  • the guide fins are at least partially disposed within the nozzle of the nozzle propeller.
  • the invention has the advantage that increased speeds or taut trains are possible with the same engine power. This results in increased efficiency.
  • pre-swirl by the fin system also results in a higher overall efficiency of the system propeller-nozzle vanes.
  • the invention can be used at low water depth and also provides protection of the propeller from damage by foreign bodies.
  • the guide fins of the fin system can be arranged such that they form an asymmetric fin system.
  • an asymmetry refers to an angular arrangement of the guide fins directed with respect to the shaft axis and / or their dimensioning, such as profile length, profile cross-section or another size.
  • an unequal angular pitch between the axes of the individual guide vanes in the radial direction as viewed from the propeller axis arises.
  • each guide fin forms a stator which is fastened at its one end to an inner wall surface of the nozzle and at its other end to the stern tube or the shaft bearing.
  • the shaft bearing is designed to support the propeller shaft and is expediently arranged in the vicinity of the propeller.
  • the shaft bearing can be formed for example by the so-called "sterntube”.
  • the guide fins are each formed as a fixed stator, which lies between the shaft bearing and the nozzle inner wall.
  • the connection with the shaft bearing or with the nozzle can be made by any known from the prior art and suitable connection technology, in particular by welding. Alternatively or in addition to the attachment to the nozzle inner wall surface may also be provided an attachment to the nozzle end face.
  • the fin or the guide fin is arranged completely inside the nozzle propeller or the nozzle.
  • a section of the guide fin could also be arranged outside the interior of the nozzle, attempts by the applicant have shown that, in most application situations, a complete arrangement of the guide fins within the space enclosed by the nozzle is to be preferred in terms of flow
  • the fin system can in principle at least comprise only one guide fin, which is then arranged completely on the propeller-impacting side. Conveniently, however, each system should have at least three fins. Of these, then advantageously at least two vanes are arranged in the propellerauf filedden page.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the fin system comprises three to seven vanes, wherein two to four vanes are arranged on the propellerauf filedden side and one to three vanes can be arranged on the propeller ab toden side.
  • each fin has an outwardly curved suction side and a pressure side which is flat over a wide range. This results in a classic buoyancy profile, as used for example in aircraft wings of the application.
  • the guide fins are arranged with a different angle of attack to the propeller axis.
  • optimization of a pre-twist is possible.
  • nozzle propeller according to the invention for offshore vehicles, tractors or inland vessels.
  • two adjacent nozzles are preferably arranged in the rear area.
  • jet propellers for inland vessels mainly jet propellers are used, so that the invention is also suitable for this purpose.
  • the (pre-twist) fin 14 forms a stator and is therefore fixedly arranged on the nozzle propeller.
  • the (pre-twist) fin 14 is fixed with its one end 15 on the inner wall surface of the nozzle 10 and with its other end 16 on the shaft bearing 13, such as Fig. 1 illustrated.
  • Fig. 1 how the (pre-twist) fin 14 extends with a first portion 14a in an inner space of the nozzle and protrudes with a second portion 14b from the nozzle 10.
  • the fin 14 has a substantially vertical inner edge that defines the inner portion 14a closes and an obliquely extending from top to bottom outward outer edge, which closes the outside, ie outside the nozzle 10, lying portion 14b, and comes in its upper region on the end face of the nozzle 10 for conditioning.
  • the fin 14 is oriented such that its broad side extends approximately in the propeller flow direction or in the direction of the propeller axis 11, so that essentially the front narrow side of the fin 14 is placed in the flow.
  • the two flat sides of the fin 14 are more or less placed in the flow.
  • a nozzle propeller 100 is provided with a fin system with a plurality, namely three (pre-whirl) guide fins 17a, 18a, 19a, for a side A.
  • a fin system with a plurality, namely three (pre-whirl) guide fins 17a, 18a, 19a, for a side A.
  • three (pre-whirl) guide fins 17b, 18b, 19b are also provided in another nozzle propeller 100.
  • the system is designed as a two-propeller system and thus falls into the group of multi-propeller systems.
  • each nozzle propeller 100 a vertical center axis 34 is shown, which runs centrally through the nozzle propeller 100 and the nozzle propeller 100 in the propelleraufschalgende side 28 and the Propellerabbande page 29 divides. Since the direction of rotation 33 of the two nozzle propeller 100 is in opposite directions, the propeller-impacting sides 28 are arranged in each case towards the center, while the propeller-deflecting sides 29 are respectively arranged on the outside. Accordingly, both the propeller-impacting and propeller-deflecting sides 28, 29 are each formed by one half of the jet propeller 100.
  • the (pre-whirling) guiding fins 17a, 18a, 19a and 17b, 18b, 19b, ie both those of the side A and those of the side B, are further arranged so that they form an asymmetric fin system.
  • the asymmetry results from the arrangement of an unequal number of vanes on the propeller-striking side 28 and the propeller-striking side 29, if the vertical center axis 34 is used as the axis of symmetry.
  • the angular pitch between the three vanes 17a to 19a and 17b to 19b is unequal.
  • the angle between the vanes 17a and 18a with respect to their intersection in the propeller axis significantly smaller than the angles between the fins 17a and 19a and 18a and 19b.
  • Fig. 3 shows another example of a two-propeller system with seven vanes 21 to 28, which are provided for simplicity only on the side A with reference numerals.
  • the structure of the nozzle propeller 100 side B behaves corresponding to that of side A.
  • the two fins 21, 22 are arranged on the propeller ab toden side, while the three guide fins 24, 25, 27 are arranged on the propellerauf soundden side.
  • the guide vanes 23, 26 are further aligned substantially along the vertical center axis 34, ie the guide fin 26 extends from the shaft bearing 13 vertically up to the nozzle wall and the fin 23 from the shaft bearing 13 vertically down to the nozzle wall.
  • the shaft bracket arms 26, 27 are not necessarily provided with a Leitflossenprofil. Within the nozzle 10, however, the Leitflossenprofil is formed over the entire length. In the Fig. 2 and 3 It can be seen that all guide fins are each arranged in the flow direction in front of the propeller 12.
  • guide fins 14, 17a, 18a, 19a and 17b, 18b, 19b, 21 to 24 and 26, 27 may have different cross-sectional shapes.
  • Each Vordrall fin usually has different angles of attack to the propeller's longitudinal axis.
  • the invention is not limited to the examples shown, so another system for full spin generation of fixed nozzles of tugs and offshore vessels to increase the tugger train and the speed is possible.
  • FIG. 4 Figure 12 shows a cross-sectional view of an example of a fin 32 that may be used for a fin system in a nozzle propeller according to the invention.
  • the fin 32 has a in the drawing of Fig. 4 above arranged, curved suction side 32a and one opposite arranged, substantially flat pressure side 32b.
  • the rounded end face 32c would be placed into the flow in a state installed in the nozzle propeller, ie upstream, while the approximately tapered end face 32d would be located downstream of the propeller.
