Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hydrofoil fin for attachment to a board. Furthermore, the invention relates to a hydrofoil with a hydrofoil fin.
  • Hydrofoils make it possible to lift the board out of the water when kitesurfing or jet skiing, thereby reducing the flow resistance. They generally comprise a keel fin, hereinafter also referred to as a hydrofoil fin, with a first end section for attachment to the board and a front wing and a rear wing, which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel and are connected to a second end section of the keel fin. If the board is lifted out of the water, only a part of the hydrofoil fin and the two wings remain immersed in the water. Large bending and torsional moments can occur on the hydrofoil fin.
  • a hydrofoil fin according to the preamble of claim 1 is from US 3,669,589 known.
  • hydrofoil fins are in WO 87/01345 and US 5,211,594 described.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a hydrofoil fin which is distinguished by a high bending and torsional rigidity with a low component weight.
  • a hydrofoil fin according to claim 1.
  • This includes in particular a core area made up of a large number of torsion boxes and an outer shell made of multi-layer fiber composite material surrounding the core area.
  • the torsion boxes have walls made of fiber composite material in order to achieve a particularly lightweight and rigid construction.
  • the torsion boxes each have four walls made of multi-layer fiber composite material, which each run parallel to the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin.
  • the fiber course in at least one of the layers of the fiber composite material is set at a first angle to the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin, and the fiber course in at least one other of the layers is set at a second angle to the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin, so that the respective fibers cross.
  • Layers with a positive and negative angle of attack relative to the longitudinal direction can be arranged alternately.
  • the torsion boxes can be designed as hollow chambers. However, it is also possible to use torsion boxes filled with a foam.
  • the torsion boxes can be designed as wrapped foam profiles with a crossing fiber course.
  • the foam profiles form the cores for the winding of the fibers.
  • At least two torsion boxes can be provided, which have a different cross section in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin. This enables simple adaptation to a streamlined profile cross section of the hydrofoil fin.
  • the outer shell made of multi-layer fiber composite material has at least one layer with a fiber course oriented in the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin.
  • the outer shell can have additional layers, the fiber courses of which are angled to the longitudinal direction of the hydrofoil fin and cross each other.
  • the hydrofoil fin has a fastening section for coupling to a board.
  • the core section with the torsion boxes extends into the fastening section to enable an optimal connection of the hydrofoil fin to the board and to achieve a further increase in bending and torsional rigidity.
  • the exemplary embodiment shows a hydrofoil 1 for attachment to a board 2, which is suitable for kitesurfing and jet skiing.
  • the hydrofoil 1 comprises a keel fin, hereinafter also a hydrofoil fin 3, a connecting rod 4, a front wing 5 and a rear wing 6. These components can be detachably connected to one another so that these can be replaced. However, it is also possible to combine two or more of the aforementioned components in a one-piece component.
  • the hydrofoil fin 3 has a first end section 7 for attachment to the board 2 and a second end section 8 for connecting the connecting rod 4. It is rod-shaped or bar-shaped and has a streamlined profile cross-section (cf. Fig. 3 ) on.
  • the hydrofoil fin 3 has a height of about 400 to 1200 mm in its longitudinal direction A.
  • the profile cross section has a greatest width of about 5 to 20 mm and a length in the direction of travel of about 50 to 200 mm.
  • the first end section 7 can form a flange-like extended fastening section 9, which forms a support surface for the underside of the board 2 which is enlarged compared to the remaining cross section of the hydrofoil fin 3. It is also possible to insert the hydrofoil fin 3 through the board 2 so that the flange-like fastening section 9 rests on the board 3 from above. Furthermore, it is possible to form a receiving opening in the board 2, in which an end section 7 of the hydrofoil fin 3 is received in a form-fitting manner. A flange-like expansion on the fastening section 9 can also be omitted in this case.
  • the second end section 8 of the hydrofoil fin 3 has a receptacle 10 for the connecting rod 4.
  • the front wing 5 and the rear wing 6 are fastened to the hydrofoil fin 3 via the connecting rod 4. Forces occurring on the wings 5 and 6 are supported against the hydrofoil fin 3 via the connecting rod 4 in the receptacle 10.
  • the hydrofoil fin 3 has a very light, yet stiff core area 11, which is surrounded by an outer shell 12 made of multi-layer fiber composite material, for example carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) or glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFK) is.
  • CFRP carbon fiber reinforced plastic
  • GFK glass fiber reinforced plastic
  • the outer shell 12 enables, in particular, a streamlined configuration of the profile cross section as in FIG Figure 3 shown.
  • the core area 11 of the hydrofoil fin 3 consists of a large number of torsion boxes 13, which give the hydrofoil fin 3 a high degree of rigidity.
  • These torsion boxes 13 each have walls made of multi-layer fiber composite material, in particular carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) or glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFK).
  • CFRP carbon fiber reinforced plastic
  • GFK glass fiber reinforced plastic
  • the torsion boxes 13 are arranged such that four walls 14 of such a torsion box 13 each run parallel to the longitudinal direction of extension A of the hydrofoil fin 3.
  • the number of torsion boxes can also be reduced to a single torsion box. However, a larger number is more suitable for high bending and torsional rigidity.
  • Figure 5 shows a single torsion box 13 with four walls 14 opposite each other in pairs. This can optionally be closed by further walls 15 in the longitudinal direction A.
  • the fiber course 17 in at least one other of the layers is set at a second angle ⁇ 2 of preferably -45 ° to the longitudinal direction of extension A of the hydrofoil fin 3, so that the respective fibers cross.
  • the other walls 15 can also have layers with a crossing fiber course.
  • layers with positive and negative angles of attack ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 with respect to the longitudinal direction A can be arranged directly one after the other and alternately on the torsion boxes 13.
  • the torsion boxes 13 can each be filled with a foam 18, as shown in FIG Figure 5 is shown. However, it is also possible to design some or all of the torsion boxes 13 as hollow chambers.
  • torsion boxes 13 can be formed as wrapped foam profiles with a crossing fiber course, the respective foam material serving as the winding core.
  • the torsion boxes 13 are arranged in bundles in the core area of the hydrofoil fin 3, so that their walls 14, 15 are supported against one another. This bundle is enclosed by the outer shell 12, which in turn also consists of multi-layer fiber composite material.
  • Figure 3 shows an example of and without restriction to an arrangement of the torsion boxes in two rows.
  • the number of rows can be chosen both smaller and larger.
  • torsion boxes with different cross-sections can be used, for example to achieve better adaptation to a desired profile cross-section.
  • an arrangement in rows can also be dispensed with.
  • the outer shell 12 has one or more layers with a fiber course 19 aligned with the longitudinal extension direction A of the hydrofoil fin 3, as shown in FIG Figure 4 is indicated. Between such layers with a parallel fiber course 19 to the longitudinal direction of extension A further layers can be provided, the fiber courses 20 and 21 of which are angled to the longitudinal direction A, for example at +/- 45 °, and cross each other.
  • the core section 11 with the torsion boxes 13 can extend into the first end section 7 of the hydrofoil fin 3, i.e. in the exemplary embodiment shown, into the flange-like extended fastening section 9 or into a section of the hydrofoil fin 3 that is positively received in the board 2.
  • the stiffening of the core region 11 preferably extends over the entire length of the hydrofoil fin 3 in the longitudinal direction A to the second End section 8 to which the wings 5 and 6 are fastened by means of the connecting rod 4.
  • the connecting rod 4 can be made of metal, preferably a steel, titanium or aluminum alloy. It has a diameter in the range of approximately 10 to 25 mm, which means that the flow resistance in the water remains low.
  • the length of the connecting rod 4 is preferably in the range from 400 to 900 mm.
  • the connecting rod 4 can be designed with a constant diameter. However, only sections, for example the region which is defined in the receptacle 10, can also be designed with a constant cross section.
  • the front wing 5 and the rear wing 6 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel and each detachably attached to one end of the connecting rod 4.
  • the front wing 5 sits at a front end section and the rear wing 6 at a rear end section of the connecting rod 4, so that the front wing 5 lies in front of the hydrofoil fin 3 in the direction of travel and the rear wing 6 lies behind the hydrofoil fin 3 in the direction of travel.
  • Both the fastening of the connecting rod 4 to the hydrofoil fin 3 and the fastening of the wings 5 and 6 to the connecting rod 4 can be made detachable.
  • connecting rods 4 of different lengths can be attached to the hydrofoil fin 3 in order to change the position of the wings 5 and 6.
  • different front and rear wings 5 and 6 can be attached to the connecting rod 4.
  • the wings 5 and 6 can be made of fiber composite plastic or a layered composite material.
