Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a water jet propeller with a shatterproof steering system,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steering apparatus for a water jet propeller, and more particularly, to a steering apparatus for a water jet propeller having a water scattering prevention function of a water jet propeller for minimizing scattering of water jet through a connection portion between a stator and a steering apparatus, To a steering apparatus.

Generally, a water jet propulsion unit refers to a water jet propulsion unit that receives power from a diesel engine or a gas turbine, which is a main engine of a ship or a ship, and rotates the impeller disposed inside the stator at high speed, And the thrust generated by jetting the air into the nozzle.

On the other hand, in the case of a screw propeller, which is a conventional propeller provided in a ship, an excessive amount of cavitation is generated on a wing surface in a high-speed operation area, and therefore, there are disadvantages such as reduction of thrust, hull vibration, underwater noise, .

Compared to a general screw propeller having various problems described above, in the case of a water jet propeller, since the pressure around the impeller and the stator blade of the pump is high, cavitation is suppressed so that the disadvantages of the conventional screw propeller described above can be minimized As a result, the water jet propeller is suitable as a propulsion device of a high-speed ship as the propulsion efficiency is increased as the area of high-speed operation is increased. Moreover, the vibration and noise are reduced and the operation performance and the feeling of boarding comfort are improved.

In addition, it is suitable for coastal navigation with high obstacles such as fishing grounds and net because there is no protrusion outside the hull, as well as conditions for securing the coastal security force and securing a wide operation area by operating at low water depth. Acceleration and deceleration maneuverability.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the conventional water jet propeller 100 having various advantages as described above includes an induction pipe 110 formed from a bottom surface of a hull to a transom of a stern, A stator 130 mounted on the outer surface of the transom so as to have a water jet propulsion force by directing the rotational component of the seawater generated in the impeller 120 rotated by the power transmitted from the power engine to a linear component, The steering device 140 is provided to swing the water jet propelling force forward, backward, leftward or rightward.

The steering apparatus 140 includes a steering bucket 145 pivoted to the left and right at a steering angle of +/- 30 degrees by a pair of steering cylinders 142 connected to the stator 130, A reverse bucket 148 formed by an upper bucket 148a and a lower bucket 148b linked to a conventional hinge at the end of the steering bucket 145 to block the rear water jet of the steering bucket 145 by a reverse cylinder 146, .

Accordingly, as the impeller is rotated by the driving of the power engine, the seawater flowing through the induction pipe passes through the stator and has a water jet propulsion force, so that the impeller has forward propulsion capability. If necessary, the steering wheel rotates left and right It can be reversed by the buckets, as well as by the inverted cylinder and the buckled buckets.

However, in the conventional steering apparatus provided in the water jet propeller described above, there is a problem in that, due to the gap spaced at a constant interval between the stator and the adjacent steering bucket, The propulsion is deteriorated due to the scattering of the water jet, and the steering cylinder and the counter-rotating cylinder for switching the left and right directions of the stator and the steering bucket as well as the water jet water scattered by the peripheral devices are damaged in a short time. Therefore, the problem of not being able to switch back and forth between the left and right direction is also frequently encountered.

In addition, when the upper surface of the steering bucket and the upper bucket which is a bucket that is a reverse bucket are lowered to the lower portion due to the backward movement, a large amount of water jets are scattered even in a gap formed between the upper surface of the propelling bucket and the upper bucket. There was also a problem of promoting.

On the other hand, there has been a problem in that a regulator for a water jet propeller is provided in the registration utility model No. 20-0432673 or Korean Patent No. 10-0976888, which was previously filed by the applicant of the present invention, .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded perspective view schematically showing the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of a coupled state according to FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a use state of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, as the impeller 120, which is provided in the stator 130, is rotated at a high speed by receiving power from a power engine provided on the ship, the seawater introduced from the bottom of the hull through the induction pipe 110 is directed to the stern side A steering bucket 145 which is pivoted to the left and right at a steering angle of ± 30 ° by a pair of steering cylinders 142 in a water jet propeller 100 that propels by using a thrust generated by jetting into a nozzle, A reverse bucket 148 that is linked to a conventional hinge at the end of the steering lock 145 to block the backward portion of the steering bucket 145 by the inverted cylinder 146 from the upper and lower buckets 148a and 148b, In the steering device 140,

In order to minimize scattering of the water jet water through the connecting portion of the steering apparatus due to the propulsion of the water jet propeller, in particular, between the stator and the steering bucket,

Water jets generated due to the propulsion force on the inner edge of the front end of the steering bucket 145 in contact with the stator 130 is scattered so as to prevent the water jet from flying to the gap formed between the inner end of the steering bucket 145 and the stator 130. It is shown to include the prevention means (1).

The scattering prevention means 1 includes a shield plate 10 formed at an inner side edge portion of the steering bucket 145 so as not to interfere with the left and right turning radius of the steering bucket 145 by the steering cylinder 142, .

That is, the blocking plate is formed in the shape of a regular isosceles triangle at the corner portion of the rectangular shaped steering bucket so that the corner portion where the largest gap is generated between the ends of the stator of the conical shape is blocked, It is possible to minimize the gap formed in the opening.

The water jet of high pressure generated at the end of the stator 130 due to the generation of the propulsive force collides with the inner surface of the steering bucket 145. In other words, Scattering prevention means 1 formed at the inner side edge of the steering bucket 145 at this time is scattered through a gap formed between the steering bucket 145 and the stator 130 due to collision with the backward bucket 148, The water jet of the high pressure is prevented from being scattered to the outside as the gap between the inner surface of the steering bucket 145 and the stator 130 is minimized by the shielding plate 10 which is the shield plate.

Thereby preventing the deterioration of the propulsive force caused by scattering of the water jet in the gap formed between the steering bucket and the stator as well as preventing the propelling force from being scattered to the steering cylinder or the backward cylinder and peripheral devices due to the splash prevention, It is possible to prevent a malfunction and to secure a longer period of use so as to improve the reliability of the steering apparatus.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent scattering of the water jet due to propulsion by means of the simple structure of the scattering prevention means provided in the steering bucket, thereby enhancing the reliability of the steering apparatus, It is possible to have a high economical efficiency.

On the other hand, in the structure of the above-described scattering prevention means, the steering bucket connected to the stator and rotated for switching between the left and right direction is provided with a stator, together,

It is preferable that the end face of the blocking plate 10 in contact with the stator is formed in an arc shape so that when the steering bucket 145 connected to the end of the stationary stator is pivoted by ± 30 ° to the left and right, Since the end of the blocking plate 10 is formed in an arcuate shape, it is possible to smoothly prevent the waterjet from being scattered within a range that does not interfere with the outer peripheral surface of the end of the stator.

As shown in FIG. 5, both end portions of the end plates formed in an arcuate shape of the shield plate 10 are formed to be connected to each other, so that the inner side of the steering bucket, which interferes with the steering bucket, It is desirable to minimize the spacing between the outer circumferential surfaces of the stator so that the water jet can be essentially blocked from scattering.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the upper bucket according to the backward rotation is pivoted rearward of the steering bucket between the steering bucket and the upper bucket of the inverted bucket, where the high-pressure water jet is prevented from being scattered To be able to do so,

Between the upper surface of the steering bucket 145 and the upper bucket 148a as the inverted veneer 148 so that the water jet is not scattered between the upper surface of the steering bucket 145 and the upper portion of the upper bucket 148a, (2) is further provided.

At this time, the scattering-preventing member 2 is disposed in front of the block 143 on which the upper surface steering cylinder 142 of the steering bucket 145 is installed, so that the water jet is not scattered due to the descent of the upper bucket 148a. The water jacket 20b which is scattered by the mounting plate 20a mounted by bolting or welding or the like which is a normal fastening type and the blocking plate 20b bent toward the upper bucket 148a toward the upper end of the mounting plate 20a It is preferable that the shielding bracket 20 be a shielding bracket.

The gap formed between the upper bucket lowered from the rear side of the steering bucket and the upper surface of the steering bucket when the ship is turned back due to the backward movement of the ship is minimized to prevent the water jet from scattering, It is possible to prevent the steering cylinder or the backward cylinder, as well as the respective facilities from being damaged, thereby ensuring a longer use period of each facility.

7A and 7B, the scattering-preventing member 2 may have a fluidity according to the rotation of the upper bucket of the inverted bucket,

The shatterproofing member 2 is fixed to the upper inner surface of the upper bucket 148a and the lower end of the block 143 provided with the steering cylinder 142 by a screw or bolt or the like with a conventional bracket or the like, It is preferable that the bellows tube 30 is provided so as to be shrunk or expanded so as not to scatter the water jet.

In other words, the corrugated tube, which is the scattering-preventing member, contracts or expands along with its rotation as the inverted bucket upper bucket is lowered and raised to the rear of the steerable bucket and the gap formed between the upper surface of the steerable bucket and the upper bucket The water jacket is prevented from being scattered so as to prevent damage to various facilities due to scattering of the water jet, thereby ensuring a longer use period.

As shown in FIG. 8, between the steering bucket and the upper bucket of the inverted bucket, a gap spaced apart at a predetermined interval is generated so that the upper bucket according to the backward rotation can have a pivot range to rotate backward of the steering bucket In order to prevent the water jet from being scattered in the above gap,

It is preferable that the scattering prevention member 2 is a prevention plate 40 formed on the upper inner side surface of the upper bucket 148a so as not to interfere with the upper surface of the steering bucket 145 due to the lowering of the upper bucket 148a . At this time, the prevention plate has a length corresponding to the width direction of the upper bucket.

And thus the gap formed between the upper bucket lowered from the rear side of the steering bucket and the upper surface of the steering bucket when the boat is backward due to the backward movement of the ship is minimized so that the water jet can be prevented from being scattered .

Preferably, the prevention plate is formed on the inner side of the inner side of the upper bucket so as to have a height that does not cause interference with the upper surface of the steering bucket due to the lowering of the upper bucket.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the water jet from being scattered even through the upper surface of the steering bucket and the gap formed when the upper bucket of the inverted bucket is lowered, thereby minimizing the scattering of seawater to the steering cylinder, The reliability of the apparatus can be further increased.

9A and 9B, the upper end of the prevention plate 40 is rotatably supported on the inner surface of the upper bucket 148a by a conventional method It is preferable that the prevention plate 40 is formed to be inclined from the hinge-coupled portion to the rear side from the hinge-engaged portion.

In other words, the prevention plate is folded backward between the upper bucket and the upper surface of the steering bucket starting from the normally hinged portion. When the bucket is lowered, the folded back prevention plate is raised by the hinged portion So that the water jet is essentially blocked from scattering.

In addition, since the prevention plate is formed to have a slope toward the rear side at all times, it is not erected at right angles to the upper surface of the steering bucket, and can be folded smoothly when the upper bucket is lifted and then raised again.

Accordingly, since the upper bucket is rotatably provided on the upper surface of the steering bucket, it is possible to prevent the water jet from being scattered in accordance with the lowering of the upper bucket. In addition, The folding can be smoothly performed.
