Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing arrangement for a pivotable boat drive according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Known inboard boat drives have a submerged control and propulsion unit, which is pivotable about a vertical axis.
  • the propulsion is generated by one or two screws whose axis of rotation is pivotable by means of the control unit. Due to the pivotability of the propulsion vector, a control effect for the boat is achieved.
  • the propulsion and control unit has a vertically arranged column, which accommodates the drive shaft for the propeller and is guided through a base plate, also called an intermediate piece, inserted into the boat hull.
  • the pivotable control and propulsion unit is supported and sealed against the hull opening by elastic rings, d. H. At the same time, reaction forces resulting from the propeller thrust are transmitted directly into the fuselage.
  • a disadvantage of the known sealing arrangement that the elastic rings absorb relatively large forces and therefore must have a relatively high elasticity, which is less advantageous for a good sealing effect.
  • such a seal is subject to increased wear due to relative movements between the seal and the component to be sealed.
  • a similar pivoting boat drive with a pulling double screw was known.
  • the boat drive comprises a pivotable control device, wherein the control device is mounted relative to a fuselage supported bearing pivotally about a vertical axis and fixed in both axial directions.
  • the sealing arrangement is arranged between the bearing supported on the fuselage and a shaft arranged in a hull opening of a boat hull.
  • the fuselage supported bearing forms an annular gap with the shaft.
  • the boat drive passes through the hull opening with an annular gap, which is bridged by at least two flexible sealing elements, so that a closed annular chamber surrounding the boat drive is formed circumferentially.
  • the sealed annular chamber is achieved that the boat drive can perform relative movements relative to the boat hull, especially in the vertical direction. This is particularly advantageous for a boat drive, which is suspended elastically with respect to the boat hull and therefore performs vibrations, in particular in the vertical direction.
  • the sealing arrangement according to the invention further comprises a first clamping device on the circumference of the boat drive and a second clamping device on the peripheral region of the hull opening.
  • the sealing elements can be clamped with their peripheral beads on both sides, so that there is a leak-free seal.
  • the volume of the annular chamber for receiving the control liquid is defined.
  • the hull opening is arranged in a fuselage intermediate piece, also referred to below as an intermediate piece for short, which can be inserted into the hull of the hull.
  • a fuselage intermediate piece also referred to below as an intermediate piece for short, which can be inserted into the hull of the hull.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the annular chamber is filled with a control liquid and communicates with a control container.
  • the control container on a liquid level indicator, by which the liquid level can be controlled continuously. If, for example, the level of the control fluid in the control container drops, control fluid escapes from the annular chamber, i. H. the inner (inside of the boat facing) sealing element is leaking, so that the control fluid flows into the boat interior.
  • the level of the control liquid in the control tank may increase - in this case, seawater enters the annular chamber, i. H. the outer, seawater-side sealing element is leaking, while the inner sealing element is still intact.
  • the case is possible that both the inner and the outer sealing element are leaking, even then there is a change in the control level, i. H. a warning for a flooding.
  • control container is arranged in the interior of the boat hull and connected via a flexible conduit with the annular chamber. This gives the possibility that the control container placed anywhere in the boat and the liquid level can be read conveniently in the control container.
  • the at least two sealing elements are designed as bellows or bellows seals which preferably have bead-shaped thickenings on their inner and outer circumference. This results in the advantage that the seals can be firmly clamped on both sides and on the other hand allow relative movements in the vertical direction.
  • the fuselage spacer can be formed as a crash part, preferably in sandwich construction. Since the intermediate piece - due to the flexible sealing elements - receives no reaction forces from the screw thrust, it can be made easily and deformable. As a crash part, it serves to increase the safety of the boat hull.
  • Fig. 1a shows a seal assembly 1 according to the invention in a cross section
  • Fig. 1b the seal assembly 1 in a view from above, installed in a fuselage intermediate piece 2, hereinafter also referred to as intermediate piece 2, shows.
  • the intermediate piece 2 is inserted into an opening, not shown, which corresponds to the oval circumference of the intermediate piece 2, a boat hull, not shown, and connected to this firmly and tightly.
  • an intermediate piece which has a sandwich structure, described in detail.
  • the seal assembly 1 comprises a first (inner) clamping device 3, a second (outer) clamping device 4 and two flexible, as bellows seals 5, 6 formed sealing elements, each having on its inner and outer circumference annular beads 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b.
  • the second (outer) clamping device 4 is fixedly connected to the intermediate piece 2 and forms with this a preassembled unit, which is used in the boat hull, not shown.
  • the intermediate piece 2 is only incomplete, that is shown substantially only with an upper steel plate 2a.
  • the arranged in the drawing above sealing element 5 faces the interior of the boat hull; the arranged in the drawing below sealing element 6 is arranged on the seawater side.
  • the annular chamber 7 is - as will be described below - filled with a control liquid, which serves to check the function of the sealing effect of the two sealing elements 5, 6.
  • Fig. 2 shows the seal assembly 1 in conjunction with a partially illustrated boat drive 8 and the intermediate piece 2, which is here shown with the inner steel plate 2a and an outer (seawater side) steel plate 2b.
  • the boat drive 8 comprises a pivotable control device 9, which can be driven via an unspecified transmission and which has a housing 9a for receiving a drive shaft 10 for a propeller (also called a screw), not shown.
  • the control device 9 is mounted pivotably about the vertical axis z relative to a support 11 supported on the fuselage side and fixed in both axial directions.
  • the inner clamping device 3 is fixed, while the outer clamping device 4 is connected to the intermediate piece 2.
  • the entire boat drive 8, comprising the control device 9 and the bearing 11, is suspended elastically with respect to the boat hull, wherein the reaction forces from the propeller thrust and the weight of the boat drive 8 are introduced directly into the hull.
  • the intermediate piece 2 is thus isolated from these forces and free of load. Due to the elastic suspension of the boat drive 8, in particular in the vertical direction (z-direction) oscillations, ie there is a relative movement between the inner clamping device 3 and the outer clamping device 4, which is allowed by the flexible sealing elements 5, 6.
  • a transverse and a longitudinal bore 12a, 12b are arranged, via which the annular chamber 7 can be connected to a flexible connecting line, not shown, to the control container 11.
  • annular chamber 7 In the illustrated embodiment, only one annular chamber 7 is shown, which is enclosed by two sealing elements 5, 6. It is also possible and within the scope of the invention for a plurality of annular chambers, which are divided off from one another by sealing elements, to be arranged one behind the other. This would result in a higher level of safety against leaking.
