Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for reducing the power requirement of a watercraft, in particular a ship.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for a propulsion system of a watercraft for improving the energy efficiency.
  • Such a device comprises a pre-nozzle.
  • This pre-nozzle is, in particular at a short distance or directly, viewed in front of the propeller in the direction of navigation.
  • fins ie (guide) fins or hydrofoils, are arranged in the pre-nozzle.
  • the pre-nozzle has substantially the shape of a flat conical cutout, wherein both openings, both the water inlet and the water outlet opening, are formed as a substantially circular opening and the water inlet opening has a larger diameter than the water outlet opening.
  • the prior art device described above has a relatively large resistance to the propeller inflow, so that the reduction of the power requirement in relevant proportions predominantly occurs only in slower or more complete ships, so that the known device also usually only in such ships is used.
  • a device for reducing the drive power requirement of a watercraft which includes a pre-nozzle, at least one, from the pre-nozzle outwardly projecting outer fin is provided.
  • the pre-nozzle is arranged in the direction of travel of the ship or watercraft in front of a propeller of the vessel.
  • the term "in the direction of travel” is to be understood here as the forward direction of travel of a ship or a watercraft.
  • Within the pre-nozzle is not a propeller, unlike z. B. with Kortdüsen or Rudderpropellern arranged.
  • the pre-nozzle is spaced from the propeller.
  • the pre-nozzle is formed such that water flow therethrough is at least partially directed to the subsequently arranged propeller.
  • the pre-nozzle will have a tubular shape. However, it is also basically any other cross-sectional shape, such as a polygonal cross-sectional shape, conceivable.
  • the pre-nozzle may be formed in one piece or in one piece, or be composed of several individual parts to a pre-nozzle, wherein the items are preferably welded together or with the hull.
  • the pre-nozzle may comprise only a partial section of a nozzle or a nozzle ring (for example a quarter-nozzle ring, a third nozzle ring, a half nozzle ring, etc.).
  • the pre-nozzle seen over the circumference is open.
  • the pre-nozzle is formed closed in the circumferential direction.
  • the nozzle may be formed continuously in the circumferential direction by 360 °.
  • a multi-part pre-nozzle can also, especially with closed nozzle circumference, the items of the pre-nozzle with the hull and / or the Be connected stern tube so that then forms the hull and / or the stern tube part of the nozzle circumference.
  • this has an inner region, which is enclosed by the nozzle shell of a at the two openings (water inlet and water outlet opening) mentally closed pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one outer fin is now arranged outside this inner region and rather protrudes outward from the front nozzle.
  • the at least one outer fin may protrude from the outside of the pre-nozzle.
  • a first end of the at least one outer-fin is attached to the pre-nozzle.
  • the first end of the outer fin may be attached either to the outer wall surface of the pre-nozzle, for example by flanging, or into the nozzle profile, d. H. the wall of the pre-nozzle, be led into it.
  • a passage of the outer fins through the pre-nozzle profile or the front nozzle wall is possible.
  • the first end forms the root of the at least one outer-fin and the second end forms the tip of the at least one outer-fin.
  • the second end of the at least one outer fin is further formed as a free end, d. h., it is free in the propeller influx.
  • first end of the outer fin is attached, namely to the pre-nozzle, and the remainder of the outer-fin is free-standing.
  • a fin belonging to the pre-nozzle namely the at least one outer fin
  • the at least one outer fin is now also provided outside the pre-nozzle.
  • at least one end portion of the outer fin is disposed on the outer wall surface of the pre-nozzle and projects outwardly therefrom. That is, the remaining area of the at least one outer fin is spaced from the pre-nozzle (except one end portion of the outer-fin).
  • the diameter and / or the profile thickness of the pre-nozzle can be significantly reduced compared to the devices known from the prior art and the at least one (outer) fin still still those regions reached, in which the flow losses are particularly high and in which a Vordrall must be generated for efficient operation. If the diameters were simply reduced in the devices known from the prior art, the fins, in contrast to the present invention, would not extend far enough away from the propeller hub (viewed radially from the propeller hub) and thus the inflow to the respectively associated one Propellers no longer or only to a lesser extent positively influence.
  • the diameter of the pre-nozzle and thus their resistance can be reduced So that the device is now also applicable to fast and very fast ships, the positive effects on the reduction of the drive power requirement are maintained or possibly even improved. Due to the fact that the outer fin protrudes outwards from the pre-nozzle and not from the propeller hub or sterntube, it can extend relatively far outward from the propeller axis and still have sufficient strength, in particular with regard to bending stresses ,
  • the at least one outer fin is a fin, d. H. a fin or a wing, which is arranged on the outside of the pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one outer fin is fixedly arranged on the pre-nozzle.
  • the term "fin" basically means any guiding device influencing the propeller inflow, the fins generally having an airfoil profile, ie. H. have a suction and a pressure side.
  • the fins are flow guide surfaces in the sense of stators, which are arranged on the pre-nozzle and influence the propeller inflow.
  • the fins have a, in particular circular arc, outwardly curved suction side and a substantially flat pressure side.
  • the profile of the fins can be uniform or even different over their length. In particular, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the fins, the profile can be turned in, d. H. to be twisted.
  • the pre-nozzle may be rotationally symmetrical or rotationally asymmetric. Furthermore, the pre-nozzle can be arranged concentrically with the propeller axis or eccentrically thereto. In particular, the axis of rotation and / or the longitudinal axis of the pre-nozzle relative to the propeller axis can be arranged offset upwards and / or laterally. Furthermore, the pre-nozzle may be arranged such that its axis of rotation or its longitudinal axis is parallel to the propeller axis or extends at an angle to the propeller axis and thus is inclined with respect to the propeller axis. Preferably, the pre-nozzle is further centered in the horizontal direction with respect to the propeller axis.
  • the axis of rotation of the pre-nozzle and the propeller axis lie in a vertical plane.
  • a twisted arrangement of the pre-nozzle relative to a vertical axis extending through the propeller axis or a parallel thereto is possible.
  • the displacement of the pre-nozzle relative to the propeller axis upwards and / or to the side may be particularly advantageous because the water velocity is usually faster due to the shape of the ship or the design of the hull in the lower region of the pre-nozzle or the propeller than in the upper region , Due to the displacement of the pre-nozzle relative to the propeller axis, an equalization of the propeller inflow and thus a better efficiency can be achieved, adapted to the particular design of the hull.
  • the pre-nozzle consists of a continuous and / or one-piece annular body or nozzle ring.
  • the pre-nozzle is arranged in front of the ship in the direction of travel and at a distance from the propeller.

  • the propeller associated with the device are usually fixed or fixed in position on the hull installed.
  • the pre-nozzle, together with the propeller of the vessel, forms a propulsion system.
  • the extension of the individual (outer) fins in the longitudinal direction of the pre-nozzle is smaller, or shorter, than the length of the pre-nozzle.
  • expansion is to be understood as the range or the length of the longitudinal profile of the pre-nozzle over which the fins extend in Vordüsenlnaturesraum.
  • the expansion of the individual fins in the longitudinal direction of the pre-nozzle is less than 90%, very particularly preferably less than 80%, or even less than 60% of the length of the pre-nozzle.
  • the longitudinal direction substantially corresponds to the flow direction.
  • the fins substantially in the rear region, ie in the area facing the propeller, the pre-nozzle are arranged. In principle, however, it would also be possible to design the fins over the entire length of the pre-nozzle in the longitudinal direction or to arrange the fins in the center or the front in relation to the direction of travel.
  • At least one inner fin is disposed within the pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one inner fin is preferably located substantially, particularly preferably completely, within the pre-nozzle, ie it does not protrude or only slightly protrude from one of the two openings of the pre-nozzle.
  • a first end of the at least one inner fin is preferably arranged on an inner wall surface of the pre-nozzle and expediently also attached to the pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one inner fin is fixed with a second end to a shaft bearing, in particular sterntube, which is designed to mount the propeller shaft of a propeller of a watercraft.
  • the inner fin extends between two fixed bearing points from the shaft bearing to the pre-nozzle. Between the two ends, the inner fin has a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge and an end strip.
  • This training is also analogous to the outer fin.
  • the at least one inner fin may also be attached directly to the hull or to the plating of the hull with its second end instead of on a shaft bearing.
  • the pre-nozzle may preferably be connected to the hull via the at least one inner fin. Additionally or alternatively, the pre-nozzle can also be connected to the hull via other connecting means, for example "brackets" or holding clamps or shaft jib arms arranged below or above the pre-nozzle.
  • the shaft bracket arms could, at least in certain areas, also be designed as fins, inside fin and / or outside fin.
  • the at least one inner fin and the at least one outer fin may have the same or different lengths.
  • the at least one outer fin and / or the at least one inner fin are arranged substantially in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis or rotation axis of the pre-nozzle or to the propeller axis of a propelling propeller of a watercraft.
  • both fins, outer and inner fin are arranged in the radial direction.
  • the fins are preferably to be arranged radially to the propeller axis.
  • the at least one outer fin and the at least one inner fin could also be arranged at different angles to their respective tangents. The tangent for the at least one outer fin passes through a point on the outer wall surface of the pre-nozzle, while the tangent for the at least one inner fin passes through a point of the inner wall surface of the pre-nozzle.
  • a plurality of outer fins and / or a plurality of inner fins are provided.
  • an equal number of external fins and internal fins are provided.
  • the provision of an unequal number of outside fins and inside fins would be possible.
  • the device has at least three inner fins and / or at least three outer fins, preferably three to seven inner fins and / or three to seven outer fins. Also, in a preferred embodiment, an odd number of external fins and / or internal fins may be provided.
  • more outer fins are arranged on the propeller-contacting side of the pre-nozzle than on the propeller-deflecting side of the pre-nozzle, and / or that more inner fins are arranged on the propeller-contacting side of the pre-nozzle than on the propeller-deflecting side of the pre-nozzle.
  • the term "propeller-impacting side of the pre-nozzle” is understood to mean that side of the pre-nozzle on which the propeller, which is arranged behind the pre-nozzle in a front view of the pre-nozzle, rotates from the bottom upwards. Accordingly, the propeller turns on the propeller off-striking side from top to bottom.
  • the presently described embodiment is particularly useful in the case of pre-nozzles, the axis of rotation of which is not displaced laterally relative to the propeller axis, but rather lies in a plane vertical to the propeller axis, so that with imaginary division of the pre-nozzle by a central vertical axis one half of the pre-nozzle on the propelleraufurgiden side and the other on the propeller ab toden side.
  • the pre-nozzle arranged fins creates a (pre-) spin , which is oriented so that sets behind the propeller in Propellerabstrom Scheme compared to a propeller without prefixed nozzle with fins a lower twist of the flow.
  • the twist in the propeller effluent is now particularly low if at least one outer fin and / or one inner fin is arranged more on the propeller-impacting side of the jet propeller than on the propeller-deflecting side.
  • the outer fins and / or the inner fins can form an asymmetric outer-fin system or an asymmetric inner-fin system ,
  • an asymmetry relates, for example, to an angular arrangement of the fins directed with respect to the propeller axis or rotation axis of the pre-nozzle and / or their dimensioning, such as profile length, profile cross-section or another size.
  • an unequal angle division between the axes of the individual outer fins and / or inner fins occurs in the radial direction from the propeller axis or the rotation axis of the pre-nozzle.
  • An asymmetric arrangement may also be present if, in a cross-sectional view of the pre-nozzle, the vertical central axis of the pre-nozzle is used as the axis of symmetry. As a rule, this symmetry axis separates the up and down side of the pre-nozzle at the same time. As a result, a particularly effective external fin system or internal fin system is obtained in a manner which is easy to form and to be arranged.
  • the at least one outer fin is arranged in extension of the at least one inner fin, so that together they form an overall fin.
  • the longitudinal axes of the outer-fin and the inner-fin may be substantially on one another and / or the outer-fin and the inner-fin may be arranged on a common radial axis.
  • the first end of the inner fin which is expediently arranged on the inner wall surface of the pre-nozzle, arranged opposite to the first end of the outer-fin, which is arranged on the outer wall surface, so that then only the pre-nozzle wall between the two fins is located.
  • both end regions could each be introduced into the profile or the nozzle wall, so that they then abut one another if necessary or are only slightly spaced from one another. It is also possible to use a continuous fin, which is passed through a recess in the pre-nozzle and in which one section forms an outer fin and another section forms an inner fin. This preferred arrangement of the two fins results in fluidically a single fin, which expediently extends from the shaft bearing to the free end of the outer fins. If a plurality of outer fins and inner fins, in particular an equal number of outer fins and inner fins, are provided, these are advantageously arranged respectively in fin pairs, which then each form overall fins. For example, three exterior fins and three interior fins could together make up three total fins.
  • the length of the total fin may be generally greater or smaller than the radius of a propeller of the watercraft associated with the pre-nozzle.
  • the length of the total fin is measured from the propeller axis to the outermost (free) end of the outer fin, optionally including the nozzle wall disposed between both fins (outer and inner fin).
  • the length of the total fins is at most 90% of the radius of the propeller, more preferably at most only 75%. As a result, a sufficient strength of the device is ensured.
  • the at least one outer fin and / or the at least one inner fin are arranged at an angle of attack radially to the propeller axis and / or to the longitudinal axis of the pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one outer fin and the at least one inner fin can have different angles of incidence. If a plurality of outer fins and / or inner fins are provided, they can also have different angles of incidence with one another. By adjusting the different angles of attack it is possible to optimize the pre-twist.
  • the setting angle is enclosed, for example, by a chord running from the leading edge to the end strip of the respective fin or also the longitudinal axis of the fin in cross-sectional view and the propeller axis or the longitudinal axis of the pre-nozzle.
  • the at least one outer fin has a free end which represents the remotest region of the outer fin from the pre-nozzle.
  • a fin-tail from the outer fin from.
  • a longitudinal axis of this fin tail may be at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the outer fin.
  • the term "projecting fin-end piece” in this case basically all arranged in the region of the free end of the outer fin components meant not exactly in the extension of the outer fin are arranged, but obliquely from the outer fin or under a certain Angle from the outer Fin stand out, or deviate from the fictitious extended profile contour of the outer fin.
  • the fin tail thus stands out from the fin plane.
  • Such a projecting fin tail acts similar to aircraft wings known “Winglets” and reduces the likelihood of detaching vertebrae in the end of the outer fins and cavitation occurring in the same.
  • the fin tail may merge at a radius into the free end region of the outer fin.
  • the fin tail may also be mounted at an angle at the free end of the outer fin, so that then the fin-end plane and outer-fin plane at this angle to each other.
  • the fin-end piece projects only toward the suction side of the outer-fin, since it can achieve the greater hydrodynamic effects with respect to the reduction of vortex formation.
  • two separate fin-end pieces can be provided, which then each protrude to one side. In principle, however, a one-piece design of the fin-end piece is also possible in this embodiment.
  • the length of the outer fin may be at least one and a half times, preferably at least twice, the length of the inner fin.
  • the pre-nozzle or the nozzle ring is arranged relatively close to the shaft bearing of the propeller shaft, so that the device has a relatively low resistance and can also be used for very fast ships.

This also ensures that the nozzle profile or the nozzle ring is not too large overall and thus the resistance of the pre-nozzle is so low that it is possible to use the device even with fast and very fast ships. If the pre-nozzle is not rotationally symmetric or cylindrical or conical, instead of the diameter, the greatest extent of the pre-nozzle in height or width can be set in relation to the propeller diameter. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the pre-nozzle is expediently to be set.

  • the inner fins 21a to 21d each have a greater length than the outer fins 20a to 20d.
  • all outer fins 20a to 20d are dimensioned equal in terms of their length, width and depth and also profile shape. The same applies analogously to the inner fins 21a to 21d. Since the inner fins 21a to 21d have the same lengths, the rotation axis or longitudinal axis of the pre-nozzle 10 is correspondingly arranged coaxially with the propeller axis, that is, the two axes lie on one another.

  • leading edge 205 of the inner fin 21b is disposed substantially parallel to the orthogonal 17a.
  • trailing edge 206 of the inner fin 21d is arranged substantially parallel to the orthogonal 17b. Since the inner fins 21b to 21d are identical, these parallel arrangements apply analogously to all inner fins 21b to 21d. In other words, the depth of the inner fins 21b to 21d viewed in the skin inflow direction 18 and viewed in the direction of travel 37 is substantially constant over the length of the inner fins 21b to 21d. The inner fins 21b to 21d are therefore designed to be unswept.
  • the outer fins 20b to 20d are swept, with a leading edge sweep. Accordingly, the leading edge 205 of the outer fin 20b is oriented at a sweep angle ⁇ to the orthogonal 17a. This applies due to the same training for the rest Outdoor Fins.
  • the trailing edges 206 of the outer fins 20b to 20d are oriented substantially parallel to the orthogonal 17a, 17b so that the trailing edge of the outer fins 20b to 20d is not swept, that is not angled, to the orthogonal. Accordingly, the depth of the outer fins 20b to 20d decreases in the direction of travel 37 from the first end 201 to the second end 202.
  • outer fin 20a and inner fin 21a are formed analogously to the other inner fins 21b to 21d and outer fins 20b to 20d.
  • Fig. 7 showed a further embodiment of a device 100 according to the invention, similar to that of the Fig. 5 and 6 is trained.
  • this device 100 also includes four outer fins 20a-20d and four inner fins 21a-21d, each fin pair forming an overall fin. Both in the embodiment of the Fig. 7 as well as in the embodiment of the Fig. 5 and 6 and 1 and 2, the total fins are arranged asymmetrically distributed inside the pre-nozzle 10.

  • the total fins in the Fig. 7 through the pre-nozzles 10 that is, the total fins are integrally formed, whereas in the embodiment of the Fig. 5 and 6 the total fins each formed in two pieces and the inner fins and outer fins are each attached separately to the pre-nozzle 10.
  • Another difference in the Embodiment according to Fig. 7 over the embodiment according to the Fig. 5 and 6 is that both the inner fins 21a to 21d and the outer fins 20a to 20d are formed arrowed.
