Abstract
Description
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.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a canister-type thruster capable of easily securing a canister to a trunk.
