Definitions

  • the invention relates to a propeller such as a contra propeller or s single propeller.
  • the propeller is adapted to lubricate the propeller shaft seal.
  • the invention may be applied in a marine vessel comprising a drive, preferably of tractor type.
  • the marine vessel may be a cargo ship, transport ship, passenger ferry, a barge, a leisure boat such as a mono hull, a catamaran, a trimaran, a rigid hull inflatable boat (RIB), a walk around, a day cruisers, a houseboat or the like.
  • BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
  • Twin counter rotating propellers are widely used on boats to improve propulsive efficiency.
  • the twin propellers are propelled via two coaxially arranged propeller shafts which in turn are connected to a power output shaft generally via bevel gears.
  • One propeller rotates clock wise while the other propeller rotates counter clock wise.
  • twin counter rotating propellers the boat is generally provided with better grip in the water which in turn enables the boat to get up onto the plane faster and staying there at lower revs. Better grip further provides an additional advantage when docking. Lower vibrations and noise levels are other advantages attributed to the twin counter rotating propellers.
  • each propeller shaft i.e. the inner and the outer propeller shaft, are generally provided with propeller shafts seals in order to retain the lubricants so that the propeller shafts are properly greased.
  • the US patent no. US 4,793,773 disclose twin counter rotating propellers and drive having a lubricant solution in which the outer propeller shaft has a radial oil passage to provide oil to the engaging surfaces of the outer and inner propeller shafts. The radial oil passage in the outer shaft is arranged inside of the drive.
  • the twin propellers each has a boss axially held via retainers, dampers and nuts held by an inner sleeve.
  • the propellers further have an outer sleeve forming an exhaust gas passage between the inner and outer sleeve.
  • the propellers are said to have a smooth rotation due to the clearance between the outer sleeves and the outer sleeve and the housing and the outer sleeve of the front propeller, i.e. the drive proximal propeller.
  • a pair of oil seals is arranged between the outer shaft and the bearing housing. The oil seals are exposed to both hot exhaust gas and occasionally to sea water. It has now been found that the oil seals have a tendency to have a reduced life time when exposed as described above.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a propeller for a marine vessel which reduces the wear of associated seals. It is further an object of the invention to at least partly solve the drawbacks associated with the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative thereto.
  • the object is at least partly achieved by a propeller according to claim 1 . More specifically, the object is at least partly achieved by a propeller for a marine vessel.
  • the propeller comprises a hub comprising an aperture for receiving a first propeller shaft.
  • the aperture has a drive proximal opening and optionally a drive distal opening.
  • the hub is provided with at least one lubricant reservoir for lubricating at least a first seal at the drive proximal opening of the aperture.
  • the propeller disclosed herein is advantageously applied to a propeller and a drive arrangement.
  • the lubricant reservoir will provide lubricant for the associated oil seal and thus protect the seals.
  • the lubricant may be replaced or refilled providing easy maintenance and, without being bound by theory, a relatively long life time expectancy of the seal.
  • the lubricant reservoir is formed by a confined space within the hub and/or formed by the hub and a portion of the first propeller shaft.
  • the propeller may thus be tailored to specific drives and the construction of the propeller shafts.
  • a relatively small diameter of the hub may be provided.
  • the first seal is a first propeller shaft seal adapted to seal about the first propeller shaft.
  • the lubricant reservoir may be adapted to lubricate substantially any seal. It has been found however that it is specifically advantageous to protect the propeller shafts seal, as that seal is specifically exposed and sometimes relatively difficult to perform maintenance on.
  • the lubricant reservoir may be arranged to lubricate a second seal.
  • the lubricant reservoir may thus be in fluid communication with at least two seals.

  • the at least two seals may be drive proximal seals.
  • the second seal may be used to seal off against sea water from penetrating the lubricant reservoir.
  • the second seal is advantageously positioned between the propeller and a portion or an element of the drive so that the first propeller shaft seal is effectively protected.
  • the lubricant reservoir may be arranged to be in fluid communication with a seal at the drive distal opening.
  • the seal at the drive distal opening may be a propeller shaft seal adapted to seal against a propeller shaft or between an outer and an inner propeller shaft.
  • the lubricant reservoir may comprise a refill opening and optionally an air ventilate opening.
  • the propeller may thus be provided with a refill opening and optionally an air ventilate opening. Having a refill opening enables easy maintenance and the replacement of the lubricant.

  • the refill opening and/or air ventilate opening may be arranged on the side facing a drive distal propeller just as a matter of example, and specifically the hub of the drive distal propeller. This removes the need for dismounting the propeller in order to refill or replace the lubricant of the lubricant reservoir.

  • the first and the second propeller shafts are preferably coaxial.
  • the propeller may thus be specifically adapted to a twin propeller arrangement, such as a twin counter rotating propeller arrangement.
