A canister-type thruster is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the canister-type thruster comprises: a canister lifting in a trunk of a hull or a floatable structure; holding rods protruding outward from the canister; holding members arranged on the inner surface of the trunk while facing the holding rods; and rod pockets arranged inside the holding members to be rotated.

Description

CANISTER-TYPE THRUSTER {CANISTER-TYPE THRUSTER}

The present invention relates to a canister-type thruster capable of easily securing a canister which is operated to ascend and descend in a trunk to a hull trunk in the operation of a propulsion head.

Special vessels, such as drillships, must be able to berth in the working area of the sea, so a Dynamic Positioning System is needed to maintain its position even under the influence of algae, wind and digging. Therefore, these ships have a thruster that can control the position of the ship by generating propulsion force while changing direction in the water.

However, since the conventional thruster is installed in the lower part of the hull (underwater), there is a problem that it is difficult to repair or replace if a failure occurs. In the event of a breakdown at sea, it may be necessary to move the hull to the land where the dock is located for repair. A canister type thruster is proposed to solve these operational difficulties and to be able to perform repair or replacement work on the thruster in the maritime work area.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0139545 (published on December 29, 2011) and Published Patent Application No. 10-2010-0074397 (published on May 07, 2010) each show an example of a canister type thruster . The canister type thruster includes a canister installed to raise and lower in a trunk extending from a deck to a bottom of the hull, a propulsion head installed at a lower portion of the canister and capable of switching the direction of 360 degrees, driving devices for operating the propulsion head in the canister An elevating device for elevating and lowering the canister, and a guide device for guiding the elevation of the canister.

The lift device for lifting and lowering the canister may be configured to include a rack gear provided on a side surface of the canister, and a lifting and lowering drive portion having a pinion gear engaged with the rack gear and a motor for driving the rack gear.

Such a thruster can change the position of the propelling head through lifting and lowering of the canister. It is possible to switch to an operation mode in which the propulsion head is positioned below the hull bottom, a movement mode in which the propulsion head is pulled up into the trunk when the hull is operated, and a maintenance mode in which the propulsion head is pulled up to the maintenance area inside the hull . It is also possible to use a crane or the like to raise the canister and the propelling head together and separate them from the hull.

On the other hand, the canister is difficult to handle because it is a huge structure having a width of about 5 to 6 m in cross section and a height of about 10 m. The weight of the canister and the device mounted thereon is also very large. Therefore, it is very difficult to install the canister into the trunk of the hull or to remove the hull from the hull for repairs. This is because accurate integration of the guide device provided between the canister and the trunk is required at the time of installation, and the bite of the rack gear and the pinion gear of the lift device must be accurately maintained. If the entrance of the canister is deviated during the installation process, the guide device may be deformed or damaged, or a bite impact may occur on the rack gear and the pinion gear of the lift device, which may result in failure of the lift device.

Further, since the canister is independent of the trunk, it is difficult to precisely control the hull unless the canister is fixed in operation of the propulsion head. Conventionally, the canister-type thruster has a protrusion protruding outward from the canister, and a fixing hole through which the protrusion can be inserted is provided in the trunk. In this case, the canister is firmly supported by inserting the protrusion into the fixing hole when the propelling head is operated. It was not easy to precisely control the canister as a structure and insert it into the fixing hole of the trunk.

However, considering that the rack gear 141 is disengaged from the upper guide unit 160 or the lower guide unit 170 when the canister 110 is lowered or raised, The directions of the entrance guiding portions 172c and 162c for guiding the entrance of the entrance guide can be reversed. 3, the upper guide unit 160 may have an entry guide portion 162c disposed at a lower portion thereof and the lower guide unit 170 may have an entry guide portion 172c disposed at an upper portion thereof.

The distance between the upper guide unit 160 and the lower guide unit 170 may be shorter than the entire length of the rack gear 141. [ 5, the raising and lowering rack gear 141 is supported by the upper guide unit 160 and the pinion gear 142 of the elevation drive unit 143, or as shown in Fig. 3, The rack gear 141 is supported by the pinion gear 142 of the lifting and driving unit 143 and at least two points of the rack gear 141 are supported.

When the canister type thruster 100 is installed in the hull 1 for the first time or is separated from the hull 1 for repairs, the canister 110 having the propulsion head 130 mounted thereon is lifted by a crane or the like The canister 110 is lowered so that the canister 110 enters the opening in the upper portion of the trunk 2. [

At this time, the rack gears 141 on both sides of the canister 110 are guided by the upper guide unit 160 and then engaged with the pinion gear 142 of the elevation driving unit 143 located below the rack guide 141, Lt; / RTI > Thereafter, the canister 110 can be introduced by the operation of the lifting drive unit 143, and the descending rack gear 141 can naturally enter the lower guide unit 170 and be stably supported.

Particularly, in this embodiment, since the upper guide unit 160 and the lower guide unit 170 are arranged on the same line as the rack gear 141 to guide the rack gear 141, the guide device and the lift device are disposed at different positions It is possible to implement an easy installation as compared with a normal canister type thruster.

If the guiding device and the landing gear are provided separately like a normal canister type thruster, precise engagement of the rack gear and the pinion gear of the lifting gear should be taken into consideration while maintaining accurate coupling of the guide device during the installation process. And it is very difficult to implement accurate installation. Large structures such as canisters are not easy to handle due to their size and weight. However, in the canister type thruster of this embodiment, the upper guide unit 160 and the lower guide unit 170 are disposed on the same line as the rack gear 141 of the elevating device 140 to guide the raising and lowering of the rack gear 141 It is possible to realize easier installation. In addition, since it is not necessary to separately install a rail for guiding the canister 110, it is possible to simplify the construction, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and increasing productivity.
