Description

BOOTSRUMPF MIT ÖFFNUNG IM BODEN FÜR EINEN BOOTSANTRIEB  BOAT PUMP WITH OPENING IN THE GROUND FOR A BOAT DRIVE
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bootsrumpf für ein Boot mit einem Bootsantrieb nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 . The invention relates to a boat hull for a boat with a boat drive according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bekannte Innenbord-Bootsantriebe weisen eine unter Wasser angeordnete Steuer- und Vortriebseinheit auf, welche um eine Hochachse schwenkbar ist. Der Vortrieb wird durch einen oder zwei Propeller erzeugt, deren Rotationsachse mittels einer Steuereinheit schwenkbar ist. Durch die Verschwenkbarkeit der Rotationsachse des Propellers wird eine Steuerwirkung für das Boot erreicht. Der Bootsantrieb weist beispielsweise eine senkrecht angeordnete Säule auf, welche die Antriebswelle für den Propeller aufnimmt und durch eine Rumpföffnung im Bootsrumpf hindurchgeführt ist. Die Antriebswelle kann von einem innerhalb des Bootsrumpfes angeordneten Antriebsmotor angetrieben werden. Derartige Bootsantriebe werden auch Pod-Drives genannt. 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 propellers whose axis of rotation is pivotable by means of a control unit. Due to the pivoting of the axis of rotation of the propeller, a control effect for the boat is achieved. The boat drive has, for example, a vertically arranged column, which receives the drive shaft for the propeller and is guided through a hull opening in the boat hull. The drive shaft can be driven by a drive motor arranged inside the boat hull. Such boat drives are also called pod drives.
Im Bereich der Rumpföffnung solcher Bootsantriebe ergibt sich ein um die Säule verlaufender Ringspalt. Dieser Ringspalt wird durch eine Dichtungseinrichtung abgedichtet, damit durch den Ringspalt kein Wasser ins Innere des Bootsrumpfes gelangt. Beispielsweise zeigt die DE 2748276 A1 einen Bootsrumpf eines Bootes mit einem Bootsantrieb, der durch eine Rumpföffnung im Boden des Bootsrumpfes hindurchgeführt ist. Dabei wird der erwähnte Ringspalt durch eine O-Ringdichtung abgedichtet und der Bootsantrieb ist über flexible Befestigungsglieder und ein innen am Boden des Bootsrumpfes angeordnetes Motorbett in dem Bootsrumpf befestigt. In the area of the hull opening of such boat drives results in an annular gap extending around the column. This annular gap is sealed by a sealing device so that no water gets into the interior of the boat hull through the annular gap. For example, DE 2748276 A1 shows a boat hull of a boat with a boat drive, which is passed through a hull opening in the bottom of the boat hull. In this case, the mentioned annular gap is sealed by an O-ring seal and the boat drive is attached via flexible mounting members and a motor bed arranged inside the bottom of the boat hull in the hull.
Bei der Herstellung und beim Zusammenbau des Bootsrumpfes, des Bootsantriebes und der Dichtungseinrichtung ergeben sich zwangsläufig Maßabweichungen und Ungenauigkeiten. Diese Maßabweichungen und Ungenauigkeiten führen im Bereich der Dichtungseinrichtung zu Leckagen oder zu erhöhten Materialbeanspruchung und in Folge zu einer Verkürzung der Lebensdauer der Bauteile. Zusätzlich können ungenaue Übergänge und Lücken auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes entstehen, die zu ungünstigem Strömungsverhalten des Bootes führen. Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch einen Bootsrumpf mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 und durch ein Boot gemäß Anspruch 9 gelöst. Zusätzlich wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Bootsrumpfes beansprucht. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den jeweiligen abhängigen Ansprüchen beansprucht. In the manufacture and assembly of the boat hull, the boat drive and the sealing device inevitably deviations and inaccuracies arise. These dimensional deviations and inaccuracies lead in the region of the sealing device to leaks or increased material stress and consequently to a shortening of the service life of the components. In addition, inaccurate transitions and gaps may arise on the outside of the boat hull, which lead to unfavorable flow behavior of the boat. The object underlying the invention is achieved by a boat hull with the features of claim 1 and by a boat according to claim 9. In addition, a method for producing a boat hull is claimed. Preferred embodiments are claimed in the respective dependent claims.
Demnach wird ein Bootsrumpf für ein Boot mit einem Bootsantrieb, der durch eine Rumpföffnung im Boden des Bootsrumpfes hindurchgeführt ist, beansprucht, wobei der Bootsantrieb mittels zumindest einem Befestigungsmittel mit dem Bootsrumpf verbunden ist. Dabei ist zumindest ein Positionierungselement auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes zur Positionierung des Befestigungsmittels in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf vorgesehen. Accordingly, a boat hull for a boat with a boat drive, which is passed through a hull opening in the bottom of the boat hull, claimed, wherein the boat drive is connected by means of at least one fastening means to the boat hull. In this case, at least one positioning element is provided on the outside of the boat hull for positioning the fastening means with respect to the boat hull.
Die Anordnung des Positionierungselementes auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes hat den Vorteil, dass alle weiteren Elemente des Bootes, die an dem Positionierungselement ausgerichtet werden einen direkten Bezug zur äußeren Hülle des Bootsrumpfes haben. Dadurch verringern sich die Fertigungs- und Montagetoleranzen bzw. die Maßabweichungen und die einzelnen Bauteile lassen sich exakt und reproduzierbar von außen positionieren. Dies hat wiederum zur Folge, dass alle so am Bootrumpf ausgerichteten und befestigten Teile genau zueinander passen. The arrangement of the positioning element on the outside of the boat hull has the advantage that all other elements of the boat, which are aligned with the positioning element have a direct relation to the outer shell of the boat hull. This reduces the manufacturing and assembly tolerances and the deviations and the individual components can be positioned exactly and reproducibly from the outside. This in turn means that all so aligned and fixed to the boat hull parts fit together exactly.
Dadurch lässt sich beispielsweise eine Dichtungseinrichtung im eingangs erwähnten Ringspalt zwischen Bootsantrieb und Bootsrumpf exakt positionieren und eine zuverlässige Dichtungswirkung ist erreichbar, wobei flexible Dichtungselemente einer reproduzierbaren und berechenbaren Materialbeanspruchung ausgesetzt werden. Dadurch kann die Dichtwirkung und die Lebensdauer von solchen Dichtungseinrichtungen erhöht werden. Ebenso können erforderlichenfalls Ersatzteile auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder einfach und exakt positioniert werden. Am Bootsrumpf außen angeordnete Teile, wie beispielsweise ein Deckel zum Abdecken und Schützen der Dichtungseinrichtung vor mechanischen Beschädigungen, lassen sich mit Hilfe der Erfindung exakt positionieren, wodurch strömungsungünstige Lücken und/oder Übergänge zwischen dem Deckel und dem Bootsrumpf vermieden werden und eine strömungsgünstige äußere Oberfläche des Bootsrumpfes erreicht wird. Das Positionierungselement auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes erleichtert den Zusammenbau des Bootsrumpfes, des Bootsantriebes und der Dichtungseinrichtung und verkürzt damit die notwendige Arbeitszeit beim Zusammenbau. As a result, for example, a sealing device in the initially mentioned annular gap between boat drive and boat hull can be accurately positioned and a reliable sealing effect can be achieved, wherein flexible sealing elements of a reproducible and predictable material stress are exposed. Thereby, the sealing effect and the life of such sealing devices can be increased. Likewise, if necessary, spare parts can also be easily and accurately positioned again at a later date. Parts arranged on the outside of the hull, such as a cover for covering and protecting the sealing device from mechanical damage, can be precisely positioned with the aid of the invention, thereby avoiding gaps and / or transitions between the cover and the boat hull, and a streamlined outer surface of the hull Boat hull is reached. The positioning element on the outside of the boat hull facilitates the assembly of the boat hull, the boat drive and the sealing device and thus shortens the necessary working time during assembly.
Die erwähnten Befestigungsmittel können beispielsweise Stifte, Bolzen, Löcher, Bohrungen, Gewindebohrungen oder Gewindebolzen sein. Bei einer einfachen Ausführungsform bestehen die Befestigungsmittel aus Gewindebohrungen im Bootsrumpf, beispielsweise in Längs- oder Querträgern des Bootsrumpfes, und der Bootsantrieb ist mittels Schrauben in den Gewindebohrungen des Bootsrumpfes befestigt. Flexible Elemente und Dämpfungselemente zwischen dem Bootsantrieb und dem Bootsrumpf, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, können ebenfalls Teil der Befestigungsmittel sein oder zusätzlich vorgesehen werden. The mentioned fastening means may be, for example, pins, bolts, holes, bores, tapped holes or threaded bolts. In a simple embodiment, the fastening means consist of tapped holes in the hull, for example in longitudinal or transverse girders of the hull, and the boat drive is secured by means of screws in the threaded holes of the boat hull. Flexible elements and damping elements between the boat drive and the boat hull, as known from the prior art, may also be part of the fastening means or additionally provided.
Das Positionierungselement kann formschlüssig ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise umfasst das Positionierungselement zumindest eine Einbuchtung, und die Einbuchtung oder Teile davon sind derart gestaltet, dass sie zum Positionieren des Befestigungsmittels in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf geeignet ist. The positioning element may be formed positively. Preferably, the positioning member comprises at least one indentation and the indentation or parts thereof are designed to be suitable for positioning the attachment means with respect to the boat hull.
Bevorzugt umfasst das Positionierungselement eine Anlagefläche, die durch eine Referenzumrandung begrenzt wird. Die Referenzumrandung ist als Anschlag zum Positionieren des Befestigungsmittels geeignet. Die Anlagefläche kann ein Teil der genannten Einbuchtung sein, wobei die Referenzumrandung die Einbuchtung begrenzt. Dabei kann die Referenzumrandung die Form einer Wulst, eines Absatzes, einer Stufe, einer Schulter oder einer Schrägfläche etc. aufweisen. Vorzugsweise begrenzt die Referenzumrandung die Anlagefläche in der Ebene der Anlagefläche nach allen Seiten hin, sodass beim Zusammenbau die korrekte Positionierung der am Rumpf anzuordnenden Bauteile gewährleistet ist. Preferably, the positioning element comprises a contact surface, which is bounded by a reference border. The reference border is suitable as a stop for positioning the fastener. The contact surface may be part of the indentation mentioned, wherein the reference border limits the indentation. In this case, the reference border may have the shape of a bead, a shoulder, a step, a shoulder or an inclined surface, etc. Preferably, the reference border limits the contact surface in the plane of the contact surface in all directions, so that during assembly, the correct positioning of the components to be arranged on the fuselage is ensured.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung weist der Bootsrumpf einen Befestigungsrahmen für den Bootsantrieb auf, an dem das Befestigungsmittel angeordnet ist. Ein solcher Befestigungsrahmen kann ganz oder teilweise aus Längsträgern, auch Stringer genannt, oder anderen Trägerstrukturen des Bootsrumpfes bestehen, die beispielsweise zur Stabilisierung des Bootsrumpfes sowieso vorgesehen sind. Dabei ist der Befestigungsrahmen vorzugsweise einteilig mit dem Bootsrumpf ausgeführt. Einteilige Ausführungen von Bootsrumpf und Befestigungsrahmen sind beispielsweise dadurch erreichbar, dass der Befestigungsrahmen auf Flächenteile des Bootsrumpfes auflaminiert ist oder einteilig mit dem Bootsrumpf gegossen wird. According to a further preferred embodiment, the boat hull has a fastening frame for the boat drive, on which the fastening means is arranged. Such a mounting frame may consist entirely or partially of longitudinal members, also called stringer, or other support structures of the boat hull, which provided for example to stabilize the hull anyway are. In this case, the mounting frame is preferably made in one piece with the boat hull. One-piece designs of boat hull and mounting frame can be achieved, for example, by the mounting frame being laminated to surface parts of the hull or being cast in one piece with the boat hull.
Für den Fall, dass der Befestigungsrahmen zunächst separat hergestellt und dann mit dem Bootsrumpf vereinigt wird, ist der Befestigungsrahmen bevorzugt ebenfalls mit Hilfe des Positionierungselementes auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf ausgerichtet. Dazu wird ausgehend von dem Positionierungselement auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes eine Referenzfläche auf der Innenseite des Bootrumpfes erzeugt. Der Befestigungsrahmen wird dann an der Referenzfläche im Bootsinnenraum angelegt, bevor er am Bootsrumpf befestigt bzw. mit dem Bootsrumpf vereinigt wird. Die an der Innenseite des Bootsrumpfes angeordnete Referenzfläche für den Befestigungsrahmen liegt vorzugsweise parallel zur oben genannten Anlagefläche auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes. In the event that the mounting frame is first manufactured separately and then combined with the boat hull, the mounting frame is preferably also aligned by means of the positioning element on the outside of the hull against the hull. For this purpose, starting from the positioning element on the outside of the boat hull, a reference surface is created on the inside of the boat hull. The mounting frame is then applied to the reference surface in the boat interior, before it is attached to the boat hull or combined with the boat hull. The arranged on the inside of the boat hull reference surface for the mounting frame is preferably parallel to the above-mentioned contact surface on the outside of the boat hull.
Mit anderen Worten wird zunächst eine erste Fläche auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes definiert als Positionierungselement und davon ausgehend wird eine zweite Fläche auf der Innenseite des Bootsrumpfes definiert und erzeugt. Auf der zweiten Fläche wird dann der Bootsantrieb exakt in einer optimalen Position gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf an diesem befestigt. In other words, first a first surface on the outside of the boat hull is defined as a positioning element and, starting therefrom, a second surface on the inside of the boat hull is defined and generated. On the second surface of the boat drive is then fixed exactly in an optimal position relative to the boat hull on this.
Des Weiteren umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung ein Boot mit einem oben beschriebenen Bootsrumpf und mit einer Dichtungseinrichtung zur Abdichtung des Bootsinnenraumes gegen eintretendes Wasser im Bereich der Rumpföffnung. Die Dichtungseinrichtung ist durch das Positionierungselement in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf positioniert. Dadurch lässt sich beispielsweise eine Dichtungseinrichtung im eingangs erwähnten Ringspalt zwischen Bootsantrieb und Bootsrumpf exakt positionieren und eine zuverlässige Dichtungswirkung erreichen, wobei flexible Dichtungselemente einer reproduzierbaren und berechenbaren Materialbeanspruchung ausgesetzt werden. Dadurch kann die Dichtwirkung und die Lebensdauer von der Dichtungseinrichtung erhöht werden. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Bootes umfasst einen Deckel, der die beschriebene Ausbuchtung des Bootsrumpfes nach außen hin abgedeckt. Der Deckel ist durch das Positionierungselement in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf positioniert. Auch am Bootsrumpf außen angeordnete Teile, wie beispielsweise ein Deckel zum Abdecken und Schützen der genannten Dichtungseinrichtung, lässt sich mit Hilfe der Erfindung exakt positionieren, wodurch strömungsungünstige Lücken und/oder Übergänge von den Rändern des Deckels zum Bootsrumpf vermieden werden und eine strömungsgünstige äußere Oberfläche des Bootsrumpfes erreicht wird. Vorzugsweise deckt ein solcher Deckel die gesamte oben erwähnte Einbuchtung ab, indem er mit seinen Rändern an der Referenzumrandung anliegt und sich so eine geschlossene kontinuierlich verlaufende äußere Oberfläche des Bootsrumpfes ergibt. Furthermore, the present invention comprises a boat with a boat hull described above and with a sealing device for sealing the boat interior against incoming water in the region of the hull opening. The sealing device is positioned by the positioning member with respect to the boat hull. As a result, for example, a sealing device in the initially mentioned annular gap between boat drive and boat hull can be accurately positioned and achieve a reliable sealing effect, wherein flexible sealing elements of a reproducible and predictable material stress are exposed. Thereby, the sealing effect and the life of the sealing device can be increased. A preferred embodiment of the boat according to the invention comprises a cover that covers the described bulge of the boat hull to the outside. The lid is positioned by the positioning member with respect to the boat hull. Also on the boat hull outside arranged parts, such as a lid for covering and protecting the said sealing device can be accurately positioned by means of the invention, whereby flow unfavorable gaps and / or transitions are avoided by the edges of the lid to the hull and a streamlined outer surface of the Boat hull is reached. Preferably, such a cover covers the entire indentation mentioned above by abutting with its edges on the reference border and thus results in a closed continuous outer surface of the boat hull.
Schließlich umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Einbau eines Bootsantriebes in einen Bootsrumpf, insbesondere zur Herstellung eines oben beschriebenen Bootes. Finally, the present invention comprises a method for installing a boat drive in a boat hull, in particular for the production of a boat described above.
Das Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Bootes mit einem Bootsantrieb umfasst folgende Verfahrensschritte: The method for producing a boat with a boat drive comprises the following method steps:
a) Das Bereitstellen eines Bootsrumpfes mit einer Rumpföffnung für einen Bootsantrieb und mit zumindest einem Positionierungselement auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes,  a) providing a boat hull having a hull opening for a boat drive and having at least one positioning element on the outside of the hull;
b) Das Bereitstellen einer Dichtungseinrichtung,  b) providing a sealing device,
c) Das Festlegen der Einbauposition der Dichtungseinrichtung in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf mit Hilfe des Positionierungselementes, d) Das Befestigen der Dichtungsvorrichtung an dem Bootsrumpf, e) Das Bereitstellen eines Befestigungsmittels für den Bootsantrieb, f) Das Festlegen der Einbauposition des Befestigungsmittels in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf mit Hilfe des Positionierungselementes, g) Das Befestigen des Befestigungsmittels an dem Bootsrumpf, h) Das Einfügen des Bootsantriebes durch die Rumpföffnung und i) Das Befestigen des Bootsantriebes an dem Bootsrumpf durch das Befestigungsmittel. Der Verfahrensschritt f) kann neben dem Festlegen der Position und dem Befestigen des Befestigungsmittels an dem Bootsrumpf gleichzeitig das Festlegen der Position eines Befestigungsrahmens gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf umfassen, wenn das Befestigungsmittel an einem Befestigungsrahmen angeordnet wird, der fest oder einteilig mit dem Bootsrumpf verbunden wird. Dazu kann eine Referenzfläche auf der Innenseite des Bootsrumpfes dienen, an der der Befestigungsrahmen angelegt und positioniert wird, bevor er am Bootsrumpf befestigt wird. Die Referenzfläche wird bei der Herstellung des Bootsrumpfes mit Bezug auf das au ßen am Bootsrumpf angeordnete Positionierungselement geschaffen. Die Referenzfläche innen am Bootsrumpf ist vorzugsweise parallel angeordnet zu der als Positionierungselement auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes angeordneten Anlagefläche. c) Determining the installation position of the sealing device with respect to the boat hull with the aid of the positioning element, d) Attaching the sealing device to the boat hull, e) Providing a fastening device for the boat drive, f) Determining the installation position of the fastening device with respect to the Hull by means of the positioning element, g) fixing the fastening device to the boat hull, h) inserting the boat drive through the hull opening and i) fixing the boat drive to the boat hull through the fastening device. Method step f), in addition to fixing the position and securing the fastener to the boat hull, may include simultaneously determining the position of a mounting frame relative to the boat hull when the fastener is placed on a mounting frame that is rigidly or integrally connected to the boat hull. This can be done by using a reference surface on the inside of the boat hull where the mounting frame is placed and positioned before it is attached to the boat hull. The reference surface is created in the manufacture of the boat hull with respect to the exterior Shen arranged on the boat body positioning element. The reference surface inside the boat hull is preferably arranged parallel to the arranged as a positioning element on the outside of the boat hull bearing surface.
Es ist aber auch möglich, dass das Befestigungsmittel direkt auf dem Bootsrumpf positioniert und angebracht wird, wobei der Bootsrumpf bereits Trägerstrukturen wie Längsträger und/oder Querträger aufweisen kann. But it is also possible that the fastening means is positioned and mounted directly on the boat hull, the hull may already have support structures such as side members and / or cross member.
Des Weiteren kann zur Durchführung der Verfahrensschritte c) und/oder f) bevorzugt eine Schablone verwendet werden, um die exakte Positionierung weiter zu erleichtern und damit die benötigte Arbeitszeit zum Zusammenbau der Teile weiter zu verkürzen. Furthermore, to carry out the method steps c) and / or f), a template may preferably be used in order to further facilitate the exact positioning and thus to further shorten the required working time for assembling the parts.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Positionierungselement eine Einbuchtung, die in den anschließenden Verfahrensschritten abgedeckt wird, um dem Boot eine strömungsgünstige Außenkontur zu verleihen. Es wird ein Deckel zum Verschließen der Einbuchtung auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes bereitgestellt. Anschließend wird die Einbauposition des Deckels mit Hilfe des Positionierungselementes festgelegt und danach wird der Deckel an dem Bootsrumpf befestigt. Mit Hilfe des Positionierungselementes auf der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes kann die korrekte Einbaulage des Deckels auch später im Rahmen von Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen einfach und reproduzierbar festgelegt werden. Die Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgend beschriebenen und in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsform näher beschrieben. Es zeigen Preferably, the positioning element comprises a recess, which is covered in the subsequent process steps in order to give the boat a streamlined outer contour. There is provided a lid for closing the indentation on the outside of the boat hull. Subsequently, the installation position of the lid is determined by means of the positioning element and then the lid is attached to the boat hull. With the help of the positioning element on the outside of the hull, the correct installation position of the lid can be set easily and reproducibly later in the context of maintenance. The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiment described below and shown in the figures. Show it

In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind gleiche Elemente mit dem gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the same elements are identified by the same reference numeral.
Der erfindungsgemäße Bootsrumpf 1 weist in seinem Bodenbereich eine Rumpföffnung 3 auf. Durch diese Rumpföffnung 3 ist ein Bootsantrieb 2 hindurchgeführt. Der Bootsantrieb 2 ist als sogenannter POD-Drive ausgestaltet. Der Bootsantrieb 2 umfasst im Wesentlichen einen nicht dargestellten Antriebsmotor und ein oberes Antriebsteil 20, welche beide im Bootsinnenraum 1 3 angeordnet sind, sowie ein unteres Antriebsteil 21 mit einer Gondel 22, welche beide au ßerhalb des Bootsrumpfes 1 angeordnet sind. Das obere Antriebsteil 20 ist durch Befestigungsmittel 4 in dem Bootsrumpf 1 befestigt. Im Bereich der Rumpföffnung 3 ist das obere Antriebsteil 20 schwenkbar mit dem unteren Antriebsteil 21 verbunden. Au ßerhalb des Bootsrumpfes 2 ist am unteren Ende des unteren Antriebsteils 21 die Gondel 22 angeordnet. Das untere Antriebsteil 21 ist zusammen mit der Gondel 22 durch eine nicht dargestellte Steuereinheit um eine im Wesentlichen vertikal verlaufende Schwenkachse 23 verschwenkbar. Die Gondel 22 umfasst an ihrem in Fahrtrichtung 1 7 hinteren Ende zwei Propeller 25 und 26, die um eine im Wesentlichen waagerecht, d.h. parallel zu der Wasseroberfläche, angeordnete Rotationsachse 24 rotierbar angetrieben werden können. The hull 1 according to the invention has a hull opening 3 in its bottom area. Through this hull opening 3, a boat drive 2 is passed. The boat drive 2 is designed as a so-called POD drive. The boat drive 2 essentially comprises a drive motor, not shown, and an upper drive part 20, which are both arranged in the boat interior 1 3, and a lower drive part 21 with a nacelle 22, which are both arranged outside the hull 1 au. The upper drive part 20 is fastened in the boat hull 1 by fastening means 4. In the region of the hull opening 3, the upper drive part 20 is pivotally connected to the lower drive part 21. Outside the hull 2, the nacelle 22 is arranged at the lower end of the lower drive part 21. The lower drive part 21 is pivotable together with the nacelle 22 by a control unit, not shown, about a substantially vertically extending pivot axis 23. The nacelle 22 comprises, at its rear end in the direction of travel 1 7, two propellers 25 and 26 which extend about a substantially horizontal, i. parallel to the water surface, arranged axis of rotation 24 can be rotatably driven.
Durch die Verschwenkbarkeit der Gondel 22 mit den Propellern 25 und 26 wird eine Steuerwirkung für das Boot erreicht. Durch das Innere des oberen und unteren Antriebsteiles 20 und 21 verläuft ein nicht gezeichneter Antriebsstrang für die Propeller 25 und 26. Der Antriebsstrang besteht im Wesentlichen aus vom Antriebsmotor angetriebenen Antriebswellen und Kegelradgetrieben zum Umlenken der Drehbewegungen auf eine in Fahrtrichtung 17 liegende Propellerwelle, auf der die Propeller 25 und 26 befestigt sind. Due to the pivotability of the gondola 22 with the propellers 25 and 26, a control effect for the boat is achieved. Through the interior of the upper and lower drive member 20 and 21 runs a not signed drive train for the Propeller 25 and 26. The drive train consists essentially of driven by the drive motor drive shafts and bevel gears for deflecting the rotational movements of a lying in the direction of travel 17 propeller shaft on which the propellers 25 and 26 are fixed.
Der Bootsantrieb 2 ist mittels mehrerer Befestigungsmittel 4 mit dem Bootsrumpf 1 verbunden. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Befestigungsmittel 4 als Gewindebolzen 18 mit Sechskantmuttern 19 ausgeführt. Vorteilhaft umfassen die Befestigungsmittel 4 zusätzliche Sicherungselemente für die Schraubverbindung zwischen Sechskantmutter 19 und Gewindebolzen 18, beispielsweise Sicherungsringe oder Kontermuttern. Die Befestigungsmittel 4 umfassen in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel auch Dämpfungsmittel 1 1 aus flexiblem Material, z.B. Gummi, mit deren Hilfe der Bootsantrieb 2 vibrationsgedämpft mit dem Bootsrumpf 1 verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise werden Vibrationen und Stöße, die beispielsweise von dem Antriebsmotor verursacht werden, vom Bootsantrieb 2 nicht ungedämpft auf den Bootsrumpf 1 übertragen, wodurch ungewünschte Lärmentwicklung und Vibrationen durch den Bootsrumpf 1 vermieden oder zumindest deutlich reduziert werden. The boat drive 2 is connected to the boat hull 1 by means of a plurality of fastening means 4. In this embodiment, the fastening means 4 are designed as threaded bolts 18 with hex nuts 19. Advantageously, the fastening means 4 comprise additional securing elements for the screw connection between hexagon nut 19 and threaded bolt 18, for example securing rings or locknuts. The fastening means 4 in this embodiment also comprise damping means 1 1 of flexible material, e.g. Rubber, with the help of the boat drive 2 is vibration-damped connected to the boat hull 1. In this way, vibrations and shocks that are caused for example by the drive motor, not undamped transferred from the boat drive 2 to the boat hull 1, whereby unwanted noise and vibration are avoided by the boat hull 1 or at least significantly reduced.
Der Bootsrumpf 1 weist auf seiner Außenseite 6 ein Positionierungselement 5 zur Positionierung des Befestigungsmittels 4 in Bezug auf den Bootsrumpf 1 auf. Das Positionierungselement 5 ist als Einbuchtung 7 ausgebildet. Die Einbuchtung 7 verläuft im Bereich der Rumpföffnung 3 um den gesamten Umfang der Rumpföffnung 3 und ist beispielsweise entsprechend der Rumpföffnung 3 kreisringförmig ausgebildet. Den Übergang von der ebenen Fläche der Außenseite 6 des Bootsrumpfes 1 zu der Einbuchtung 7 bildet in diesem Fall eine Abstufung unter Ausbildung einer senkrecht zur Außenseite 6 angeordneten Referenzumrandung 10. The hull 1 has on its outer side 6 a positioning element 5 for positioning the fastening means 4 with respect to the hull 1. The positioning element 5 is formed as a recess 7. The indentation 7 runs in the region of the hull opening 3 around the entire circumference of the hull opening 3 and, for example, has an annular shape corresponding to the hull opening 3. The transition from the flat surface of the outer side 6 of the boat hull 1 to the indentation 7 in this case forms a step to form a perpendicular to the outer side 6 arranged reference border 10th
In der Einbuchtung 7 ist zumindest teilweise eine Dichtungseinrichtung 12 angeordnet. Die Dichtungseinrichtung 12 hat den Zweck den Ringspalt abzudichten, der sich zwischen der Rumpföffnung 3 und dem dadurch hindurchgeführten Bootsantrieb 2 ergibt. Die Dichtungseinrichtung 12 soll verhindern, dass Wasser von der Außenseite des Bootsrumpfes 1 in den Bootsinnenraum 13 eindringt. Verschiedene derartige Dichtungseinrichtung sind bereits beschrieben worden, beispielsweise in den Dokumenten DE 102009000994 A1 und DE 102012210727 A1 . In the indentation 7, a sealing device 12 is at least partially arranged. The purpose of the sealing device 12 is to seal the annular gap which results between the hull opening 3 and the boat drive 2 guided therethrough. The sealing device 12 is intended to prevent water from penetrating from the outside of the boat hull 1 into the boat interior 13. Various Such sealing means have already been described, for example in the documents DE 102009000994 A1 and DE 102012210727 A1.
Das Positionierungselement 5 in Form der Einbuchtung 7 kann sowohl zur Positionierung der Befestigungsmittel 4, als auch zur Positionierung einer im Bereich der Rumpföffnung 3 angeordneten Dichtungseinrichtung 12 und eines Deckels 14 verwendet werden. The positioning element 5 in the form of the indentation 7 can be used both for positioning the fastening means 4 and for positioning a sealing device 12 arranged in the region of the hull opening 3 and a cover 14.
Das Positionierungselement 5 in Form der Einbuchtung 7 wird in den gezeigten Ausführungen durch eine Anlagefläche 9 und eine Referenzumrandung 10 gebildet. Zur exakten Positionierung der Befestigungsmittel 4, der Dichtungsanordnung 12 und des Deckels 14 werden die Elemente entweder an der Anlagefläche 9 oder an der Referenzumrandung 10 oder an beiden angelegt, bevor sie am Schiffrumpf 1 befestigt werden. The positioning element 5 in the form of the recess 7 is formed in the embodiments shown by a contact surface 9 and a reference border 10. For exact positioning of the fastening means 4, the seal assembly 12 and the cover 14, the elements are applied either to the abutment surface 9 or to the reference border 10 or both, before they are attached to the hull 1.
Die Ausführung nach Fig. 1 sieht vor, dass die Dichtungseinrichtung 12 an der Anlagefläche 9 und an einem inneren Rand der Rumpföffnung 3 anliegt und dadurch in ihrer Lage gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf 1 festgelegt ist. Der Deckel 14 liegt in dieser Ausführungsform sowohl an der Anlagefläche 9, als auch an der Referenzumrandung 10 an und wird so gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf 1 positioniert. The embodiment of FIG. 1 provides that the sealing device 12 rests against the abutment surface 9 and against an inner edge of the hull opening 3 and is thus fixed in its position relative to the hull 1. The lid 14 rests in this embodiment both on the contact surface 9, as well as on the reference border 10 and is positioned relative to the boat hull 1.
Die Ausführung gemäß der Fig. 2 sieht vor, dass die Dichtungseinrichtung 12 an der Anlagefläche 9 und an der Referenzumrandung 10 anliegt und dadurch in ihrer Lage gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf 1 festgelegt ist. Der Deckel 14 liegt in dieser Ausführungsform auf der Dichtungseinrichtung 12 an und ist komplett in der Einbuchtung 7 versenkt, sodass sich ein glatter, strömungsgünstiger Übergang von der Außenseite 6 des Bootsrumpfes 1 zu der äußeren Oberfläche des Deckels 14 ergibt. The embodiment according to FIG. 2 provides that the sealing device 12 rests against the abutment surface 9 and against the reference border 10 and is thereby fixed in its position relative to the hull 1. The cover 14 rests in this embodiment on the sealing device 12 and is completely sunk in the recess 7, so that there is a smooth, streamlined transition from the outside 6 of the boat hull 1 to the outer surface of the lid 14.
Insbesondere zur Positionierung der Befestigungsmittel 4 im Bootsinnenraum 13 kann vorteilhafterweise eine Schablone verwendet werden, die ebenfalls an der Anlagefläche 9 und/oder an der Referenzumrandung 10 angelegt wird, bevor die Befestigungsmittel 4 an dem Bootsrumpf 1 angebracht bzw. befestigt werden. Das untere Antriebsteil 21 weist an seinem oberen Ende einen Vorsprung 29 auf, der die Rumpföffnung 3 und die darin angeordneten Bauteile, z.B. den Deckel 14 und die Dichtungseinrichtung 12 abdeckt und so vor mechanischen Beschädigungen schützt. Zwischen dem Vorsprung 29 und der Außenseite 6 des Bootsrumpfes 1 bzw. dem Deckel 14 ergibt sich zwangsläufig ein Spalt 28, da der Vorsprung zusammen mit dem unteren Antriebsteil 21 gegenüber dem Bootsrumpf 1 verschwenkbar ist. Der Spalt 28 ist vorteilhafterweise möglichst schmal, weil das Boot dadurch in diesem Bereich strömungsgünstiger ausgebildet ist und die Gefahr, dass im Wasser schwimmende Elemente in den Spalt geraten und Bauteile des Bootes beschädigen können geringer ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Bootsrumpfes 1 mit dem Referenzelement 5 in Form der Ausbuchtung 7 auf der Außenseite 6 des Bootsrumpfes 1 ermöglicht die Herstellung des Bootes mit einem sehr schmalen Spalt 28, weil die den Spalt bildenden Bauteile Bootsantrieb 2 und Deckel 14 direkt und formschlüssig an dem Referenzelement 5 angelegt und so exakt in ihrer vorgesehenen Position am Bootsrumpf 1 befestigt werden können. Toleranzabweichungen bei der Herstellung der Einzelteile und bei der Montage des Bootes werden dadurch minimiert. In particular, for positioning the fastening means 4 in the boat interior 13, a template can be advantageously used, which is also applied to the contact surface 9 and / or on the reference border 10 before the fastening means 4 are attached to the boat hull 1 or attached. The lower drive part 21 has at its upper end a projection 29 which covers the hull opening 3 and the components arranged therein, for example the cover 14 and the sealing device 12 and thus protects against mechanical damage. Between the projection 29 and the outer side 6 of the hull 1 and the cover 14, a gap 28 necessarily results, since the projection together with the lower drive part 21 relative to the hull 1 is pivotable. The gap 28 is advantageously as narrow as possible, because the boat is thus streamlined in this area and the risk that in the water floating elements get into the gap and damage components of the boat is less. The inventive design of the boat hull 1 with the reference element 5 in the form of the bulge 7 on the outside 6 of the boat hull 1 allows the production of the boat with a very narrow gap 28, because the gap forming components boat drive 2 and cover 14 directly and positively on the Reference element 5 created and can be fixed exactly in their intended position on the boat hull 1. Tolerance deviations in the production of the items and during assembly of the boat are minimized.
Der durch die geringen Toleranzen erreichbare schmale Spalt und die präzise Positionierung des Bootsantriebes 2 im Bootsrumpf 1 ermöglichen eine strömungsgünstige Hydrodynamik und eine erhöhte Propellerleistung beim Bewegen des Bootes im Wasser. The achievable by the small tolerances narrow gap and the precise positioning of the boat drive 2 in the boat hull 1 allow a streamlined hydrodynamics and increased propeller performance when moving the boat in the water.
Mit Hilfe von Haltearmen 27 wird ein Gehäuse des Bootsantriebes 2 an der Innenseite des Bootsrumpfes 1 oder an dem Befestigungsrahmen 8 befestigt. Die Haltearme 27 können durch die Materialauswahl und Formgebung so ausgeführt werden, dass sie zusätzlich oder alternativ zu den Dämpfungsmitteln 1 1 Schwingungen und Vibrationen zwischen dem Bootsantrieb 2 und dem Bootsrumpf 1 dämpfen. Die Haltearme 27 können einteilig mit dem Gehäuse des Bootsantriebes 2 bzw. einteilig mit dem Gehäuse des oberen Antriebsteiles 20 ausgeführt sein. Bezuqszeichen With the help of retaining arms 27, a housing of the boat drive 2 is attached to the inside of the boat hull 1 or to the mounting frame 8. The support arms 27 may be made by the material selection and shaping so as to additionally or alternatively to the damping means 1 1 vibrations and vibrations between the boat drive 2 and the boat hull 1 attenuate. The holding arms 27 can be made in one piece with the housing of the boat drive 2 or in one piece with the housing of the upper drive part 20. REFERENCE CHARACTERS
