Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a propelling system, and more particularly, to a marine propelling system for a boat.
  • a conventional propelling system 10 for a large boat 1 is composed of an open-type propeller 12 and a rudder plate 14 .
  • Rotation of the propeller 12 and yaw of the rudder plate 14 can drive the boat 1 to move forward and to turn respectively.
  • the rudder plate 14 is located behind the propeller 12 , such that the rudder plate 14 having a predetermined size inevitably counteracts the thrust generated by the propeller 12 .
  • the loss of vortex flow generated by the open-type propeller 12 can lessen the propulsive efficiency of such kind of the boat 1 .
  • the steering of the boat 1 needs a large yaw angle to allow the boat 1 to effectively turn leftward or rightward due to the shape of the rudder plate 14 , such that such kind of the boat 1 is worse in steering maneuverability.
  • a conventional propelling system 20 for a speedboat 2 is also composed of a propeller 22 and a rudder plate 24 located behind the propeller 22 .
  • such propelling system 20 includes another recited hereinafter.
  • a sideward impeller 26 is mounted to a front section of the hull of the speedboat 2 .
  • such sideward impeller 26 not only increases the production cost of the speedboat 2 but decreases the utilization rate of the space inside the hull of the speedboat 2 .
  • each of the propellers 12 and 22 and the rudder plates 14 and 24 of the aforesaid two propelling systems 10 and 20 is located at the bottom of the large boat 1 or the speedboat 2 , such that objects in the water, like plastic hag, fishing net, or waterweed, may be sucked into the vortex flow to damage the propeller 12 ( 22 ); or the propellers 12 and 22 and the rudder plates 14 and 24 may hurt divers or swimmers or marine creatures, like cowfish.
  • the aforesaid large boat and the speedboat only fit the shipping lane of relatively deep water. The last but not the least, they both do not have any means for dexterously controlling backward navigation.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a marine propelling system, which can greatly enhance the steering maneuverability and the safety of a boat.

  • the propelling member includes a main body and a propeller.
  • the main has a plurality of fixed wings located inside a front section thereof for swirling the water flow flowing therein from the guideway in a direction.
  • the propeller is mounted to rear sides of the fixed wings and rotated in a direction converse to that of the water flow passing through the fixed wings.
  • the vortex guide member is made of a flexible material and mounted to an outlet of the main body, extending backward.
  • the horizontally steering ring is sleeved onto a peripheral edge of a front section of the vortex guide member and pivoted to the main body at a top edge thereof and a bottom edge thereof for linking-up with and forcing the vortex guide member to turn leftward or rightward relative to the propelling member.
  • a high-speed vortex flow ejected through the propeller can dexterously drive the boat to turn for better steering maneuverability.
  • the propelling system of the present invention comprises a vertically steering ring sleeved onto the vortex guide member and pivoted to the horizontally steering ring in such a way that the vortex guide member can be linking-up with the vertically steering ring to turn upward or downward so as to properly adjust depress and elevation angles of marine voyage, thus allowing the boat to navigate forward under the least resistance.
  • the propelling system of the present invention comprises an inverted guide hood pivoted to the main body of the propelling member.
  • the inverted guide hood When the boat navigates forward, the inverted guide hood is located above the main body.
  • the inverted guide hood can be displaced to a rear side of the vortex guide member; meanwhile, the vortex flow flowing backward through the propeller is guided by the inverted guide hood to be ejected forward.
  • the vortex guide member can be controlled to turn leftward or rightward to eject the vortex flow toward a left front or right front side. In this way, the boat can still be controlled to turn leftward or rightward while navigating backward.
