Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boat drive with an outside of the hull and with respect to the hull pivotally mounted underwater housing in which at least one propeller shaft is rotatably driven, and with a pivot drive for pivoting the underwater housing about a vertical pivot axis for the purpose of directional control of the boat.
  • boat drives are also called POD drives.
  • a propeller is attached to the output side end of the propeller shaft, which ensures the advancement of the boat when driving with rotating propeller shaft.
  • the direction of travel of the boat can be changed because when swiveling the underwater housing and the feed vector generated by the rotating propeller changes its direction.
  • Such a boat drive is known with a below the hull pivotally mounted underwater housing, in which a propeller shaft is rotatably drivable in the underwater housing.
  • the pivotal movement of the underwater housing is effected by a arranged in the interior of the hull pivot actuator with a pivot drive motor.
  • Another boat drive with a below the hull pivotally mounted underwater housing is from the WO 2005/005249 A1 known.
  • the propeller shaft mounted in the underwater housing is driven with the associated propeller of a arranged in the interior of the hull drive motor via two bevel gear and corresponding drive shafts.
  • the pivoting movement of the underwater housing is effected by a arranged in the interior of the hull pivot drive with a pivot drive motor.
  • Such a boat drive is described with a pivot drive in the form of a control device.
  • a boat drive with control device is described in which the direction of travel control an underwater housing can be pivoted with propeller with the help of two electric servomotors as a rotary drive motors.
  • WO 10037744 A2 describes a device for detecting an angular position of a swivel control shaft in connection with a boat drive mentioned above, wherein detected with the device, the instantaneous pivotal position of the pivotable underwater housing and is used for the control of a motorized pivot drive.
  • the invention accordingly relates to a boat propulsion system with an underwater housing pivotably arranged outside a hull and relative to the hull, in which at least one propeller shaft is drivably supported, and with a pivot drive arranged in the interior of the hull for pivoting the underwater housing for directional control boat.
  • a pivot drive On a member of the pivot drive a zero position mark is provided, which allows easy determination of a zero position of the underwater housing.
  • the zero position of the underwater housing can be manually set quickly and easily in the event of failure of the motorized pivot drive.
  • Methods are known from the prior art, such as after a failure of a motorized pivot drive an underwater housing can be manually pivoted. For example, first covers are removed on the or the pivot drive motors so that optionally motor brakes or other blocking elements of the pivot drive can be opened or removed. Thereafter, the rotary actuator can be manually operated, for example, with a tool, wherein the tool is attached to a suitable location of the rotary actuator.
  • the position of the underwater housing in the interior of the boat body is not recognizable, so that it is problematic in conventional boat drives to manually set the desired zero position of the underwater housing.
  • the zero position mark according to the invention solves this problem by indicating to the operator in the interior of the hull, when the zero position of the underwater housing is set.
  • the zero position of the underwater housing corresponds to the straight travel of the boat, i. a longitudinal axis of the underwater housing is in the zero position parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hull.
  • the zero position is not necessarily the geometric center position between the two end positions because the underwater housing of a POD drive is more pivotable from the zero position in a first pivot direction than in the opposite second pivot direction. This makes finding the zero position even more difficult when manually operating a conventional quarter turn actuator.
  • the pivot drive comprises a pivot limiting element and a pivot control shaft, which are drivably connected to a pivot drive motor and rigidly connected to the underwater housing.
  • the swivel limiting element and the swivel control shaft can also be made in one piece.
  • the drive power or the pivoting movement of the pivot drive motor can be transmitted in the gift mode via the pivot limiting element and the swivel control shaft to the underwater housing.
  • the rigid connection between the Schwenkbegrenzungselement, the Schwenk interviewedwelle and the underwater housing causes each position of the pivotable underwater housing corresponds to a specific position of the pivot limiting element. In other words, the position of the underwater housing can be clearly recognized at the position of the swivel-limiting element in the interior of the hull. According to the invention, the zero position mark is therefore arranged on the pivot limiting element or on the swivel control shaft.
  • the zero position mark is arranged on the swivel-limiting element, because the swivel-limiting element is usually arranged in a region of the swivel control shaft facing the boat interior, which can be viewed most easily from the interior of the boat body.
  • the pivot drive is arranged in a transmission housing of the boat drive.
  • the transmission housing on a viewing window through which the zero position mark is visible at least in the zero position.
  • the viewing window on the transmission housing in such a way that the zero position mark can be recognized as easily as possible by a person in the interior of the hull. So at an easily accessible and visible place of the gear housing.
  • the viewing window is preferably positioned on the transmission housing and has such dimensions that the zero position mark can only be seen in the zero position. That The viewing window is so small that the zero position mark is visible only through the viewing window when the underwater housing is at least almost in the zero position. This gives the operator the certainty of having set the desired zero position as soon as he recognizes the zero position mark through the viewing window.
  • the gear housing or the viewing window has a reference mark corresponding to the zero position mark in the zero position.
  • the reference mark facilitates the exact positioning of the pivot drive during manual actuation, in particular when the zero position mark is visible in a wider range around the zero position through the viewing window, for example because the viewing window is larger than in the previously described embodiment.
  • An embodiment with a larger viewing window has the advantage that the manual operator can recognize the current position of the rotary actuator and thus the underwater housing, even if the exact zero position is not reached. This makes it easier for him to find the correct direction of rotation for manual adjustment of the rotary actuator in the direction of the zero position. To set the exact zero position then helps the reference mark, which is in the zero position exactly on or opposite to the zero position mark.
  • the zero position mark is a recess such as a notch, a bore or a groove.
  • a recess such as a notch, a bore or a groove.
  • the pivot drive has two end positions, which are defined by at least one attached to the transmission housing end stop member by the end stop member cooperates with at least one stop surface on the pivot limiting elements.
  • the end stop element is designed as a housing-fixed bolt which projects into an opening of the pivot limiting element. The opening thus moves during pivoting circular arc with the pivot limiting element. Therefore, the opening is designed, for example, a circular arc, wherein the two ends of the circular arc-shaped opening correspond to the end positions of the pivoting area and each have a stop surface. Upon reaching each end position of the housing fixed bolt abuts a stop surface of the opening.
  • the Endanschlagelement on means for cushioning when approaching the two end positions.
  • the pivot limiting element fulfills several functions. It is thus used for transmitting the pivoting torque and the pivotal movement, for limiting the pivoting range and for displaying the zero position. This multifunctionality allows a rotary actuator with a small number of components and a small space requirement.
  • Another function can take over the swivel control shaft when equipped with a device for detecting an angular position of the swivel control shaft, as shown for example in the WO 10037744 A2 is described, cooperates.
  • the swivel control shaft for example, have at one point a further toothing, which is in engagement with said toothing of the device for detecting the angular position and thus makes the instantaneous pivot position detectable. Since the information about the instantaneous pivot position in such devices is only available for the motorized pivot drive, this aspect will not be further discussed in the context of the present invention.
  • the swivel control shaft has at least one oil passage which, at least in the zero position, enables an oil exchange in the underwater housing from the interior of the hull.
  • the underwater housing usually also includes oil lubrication.
  • oil lubrication For maintenance purposes, it is advantageous to replace the oil of this oil lubrication also from the interior of the hull to be able to. This can be avoided that the boat for such maintenance work must be brought to a dry dock. This can be achieved by sucking the oil out of the underwater housing through an oil channel in the swivel control shaft and refilling fresh oil through this oil channel.
  • a corresponding oil lock for example, an oil plug, be provided on the transmission housing, which is positioned for example in the zero position relative to the oil passage in the swivel control shaft so that oil can be sucked out of the underwater housing and refilled. Since, during maintenance, the motorized pivot drive is switched off, for example, for safety reasons, the zero position mark also serves to determine and manually set the zero position here.
  • the in Fig. 1 illustrated boat drive 1 comprises a drive motor 2, an engine output shaft 3 and a first gear 4, which is designed as an angle gear and transmits the drive power from the at least almost horizontally arranged motor output shaft 3 to an at least almost vertically arranged drive shaft 5.
  • the drive motor 2, the engine output shaft 3 and the first transmission 4 are arranged in the interior 6 of a hull 7.
  • the drive motor 2 and the first gear 4 are fixed in the hull 7.
  • the gear housing 8 has fastening arms 9.
  • the underwater housing 10 is arranged. It is pivotable relative to the hull 7 about an at least approximately vertically arranged pivot axis 11.
  • the pivot axis 11 is shown together with the vertically extending drive shaft 5 as a line.
  • the drive shaft 5 connects the first gear 4 in the hull 7 with a second gear 12, which is arranged outside the hull 7 in the underwater housing 10 and is also designed as an angle gear.
  • the second gear 12 transmits the drive power of the boat drive 1 from the drive shaft 5 to the at least approximately horizontally disposed propeller shafts 13 and 14.
  • a propeller 15 and 16 is mounted on each propeller shaft 13 and 14, respectively.
  • the one propeller shaft 13 is designed as a hollow shaft and arranged concentrically to the other propeller shaft 14. Regardless of the embodiment shown here with two propellers, the present invention also includes embodiments with only one propeller.
  • the pivot drive for pivoting the underwater housing 10 relative to the hull 7 comprises a pivot drive motor 21, which can pivot the underwater housing 10 in a specific pivoting range via a pivot limiting element 20 and a pivot control shaft 17.
  • the pivot drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the transmission housing 8, while the pivot limiting element 20 and the pivot control shaft 17 are rotatably mounted in the transmission housing 8 by means of rolling bearings 19 about the pivot axis 11.
  • the swivel drive motor 21 has an output gear 24 with a toothing 22 for driving the swivel drive, wherein the toothing 22 is drivingly engaged with a toothing 23 of the swivel-limiting element 20.
  • the swivel control shaft 17 is part of the pivot drive arranged in the interior 6, parts of the swivel control shaft 17 in the area in which the swivel control shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the underwater housing 10 disposed outside the hull 7 may also protrude slightly from the hull 7.
  • the pivot limiting element 20 is rigidly connected to the pivot control shaft 17.
  • the swivel control shaft 17 is in turn rigidly connected to the underwater housing 10, so that the underwater housing 10 is pivoted during pivoting by exactly the same angle as the pivot limiting element 20.
  • the swivel control shaft 17 is screwed by means of mounting screws 18 with the underwater housing 10.
  • the pivot limiting element 20 has an arcuate opening 27, in which a fixed housing bolt is arranged as an end stop element 30.
  • the bolt 30 is fixedly connected to the transmission housing 8 and can also be made in one piece with the transmission housing 8.
  • the bolt 30 may be made as a part of a cast gear housing 8.
  • the opening 27 moves during pivoting of the underwater housing 10 in a circular arc with the pivot limiting element 20 about the pivot axis 11.
  • the abutment surfaces 28 and 29 at the two ends of the circular arc-shaped opening 27 meet upon reaching the respective end position on the housing-fixed pin 30, which serves as Endanschlagelement. As a result, the pivoting range is limited in both directions.
  • a zero position mark 25 is mounted on the pivot limiting element 20.
  • the zero position mark 25 is embodied here as a recess in the form of a blind hole in the pivot limiting element 20.
  • a viewing window 26 In the viewing window area X in Fig. 2 is a view from outside the gear housing 8 is shown on a viewing window 26.
