  • Machine-driven watercraft such as B. Boats or ships are usually propelled by ship's screws or propellers. Until recently, these were designed as rigid shafts protruding from the ship's hull with a correspondingly molded impeller and only rotatable along the extension direction of the shaft. The direction of travel of the watercraft was specified by one or more rudders, regardless of the drive.
  • the DE 10 2008 037 677 A1 and the U.S. 2,714,866 A show a classic pod drive. Consists of a propeller pod drive with a propeller attached to a drive shaft outside the propeller pod.

  • connection device is provided, in particular set up, to protrude at least partially beyond a deck of the watercraft.
  • a very simple structural implementation can also be achieved with relatively large distances between the watercraft hull and the housing.
  • the original properties of a trimming device are supplemented by the capability of the watercraft in X or. Y-direction, i.e. to maneuver into a desired position on the water surface.
  • a “feed device” in the context of the present invention is to be understood in particular as a device which takes up mechanical work and transfers it to the surrounding medium in the form of flow energy.
  • Feed devices in the sense of the present invention are, for example, a jet drive, a nozzle ring propeller, a propeller on a shaft or a propeller in an outer ring rotor.
  • a “drive device” in the context of the present invention is to be understood in particular as a structural device which, by means of energy conversion, provides kinetic energy, in particular in the form of a force or a torque.
  • Drive devices in the sense of the present invention are, for example, electric drives, internal combustion drives, pneumatic drives, atomic energy drives, hydraulic drives or the like.

  • the basic idea of these explanations is to arrange the feed device at least partially within the channel and connected therewith inside the housing in such a way that the latter at least partially protects the feed device from damage, for example if it runs aground.
  • the arrangement of the feed device which is provided at least partially within the channel, allows a very free design of the outside of the housing, since requirements of the feed device when designing the outside of the housing - except for the upstream and downstream openings - are at least of subordinate importance, in particular at least essentially irrelevant are.
  • the channel which is at least partially closed in cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow, provides at least essentially defined flow properties of the medium passing through, in particular fresh or salt water.
  • a suitable design of the at least partially closed channel can make the energy efficiency particularly advantageous.
  • a “channel” in the sense of the present invention is to be understood in particular as a recess in a base body that is at least partially closed with regard to a cross section which is viewed at least substantially perpendicular to a direction of extent of the channel. That is, a channel in the sense of the present invention can be, for example, a groove or channel which is formed in the basic object (here is a partially closed cross-section) or can be in the form of a passage or tunnel (in this context, a closed cross-section spoken).
  • the channel is designed as a tubular tunnel with a closed cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow and / or the feed device is completely enclosed by the housing in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow.
  • the channel does not have to be designed over the entire length as a tubular tunnel perpendicular to the direction of flow with a closed cross-section, but can also have a channel-like inlet and / or outlet, so that only an area arranged in between in the form of a tubular tunnel is designed with a closed cross section, wherein the feed device is at least partially, in particular completely, within this tubular section arranged therebetween.
  • the trimming device By combining the trimming device with elements of a drive device, it is also possible to prevent parts of the feed device, in particular the blade tips, from emerging from the water. Leaving the tips of the leaves out of the water, even when approaching the surface of the water critically, leads not only to a decrease in the feed rate but also to increased unevenness in the generation of thrust, increased noise and cavitation effects. In this way it can also be avoided that the dynamic positioning of a watercraft is made more difficult due to undesired movements, which are initiated by the emergence of propeller blade tips.
  • the feed device is selected from a group comprising: a jet drive, a nozzle ring propeller, a propeller on a shaft or a propeller in an outer ring rotor.
  • the one opening in the upstream end of the housing has a protective device which is provided, in particular designed, to at least reduce the probability of solid bodies penetrating into the channel.
