Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hydrodynamic assembly carrying outboard outboard.
- the invention is particularly adapted to the class of outboard motor boat, and in particular to that called semi-rigid boat.
- Semi rigid boats include a rigid hull and inflatable side protection floats. These boats are not today equipped with a load-bearing wing in the water, also called foil. Indeed, the recent foil technology has been adopted by different types of sailing and motor boats but has not yet been adopted for semi-rigid motor boats. It is described in a previous patent of the present applicant a front bearing system of semi-rigid boat by means of wings called foils. The wings are arranged according to the invention approximately in the middle of the boat and on each side. The invention provides a rear bearing assembly which cooperates with the front bearing system to provide optimum lift and navigation.
- the invention aims to use existing solutions to bring a new lift.
- This second solution solver requires modifying key navigation parameters, such as that of the underwater engine position, which is typically lowered, as will be readily understood, to respond optimally to the fact that the boat is lifted. In short, the boat being raised, it must be possible to lower the position of the engine under water.
- the invention proposes a system which makes it possible to dress the outboard motor in lowered position in order to Maximum response to the constraints of using an outboard boat. It is understood that in some aspects of use, the engine can be lowered or raised underwater during navigation. It is therefore necessary to provide the engine block enhancement that improves navigation characteristics when the engine is lowered but does not interfere with navigation when the engine is positioned in its traditional position.
- a main object of the invention is to provide a rear carrying assembly that fits the complete rear assembly of the boat ie its engine and its hull and its engine hull.
- An object of the invention is to provide a rear bearing system which is easily industrializable and which is adaptable in original equipment or aftermarket on a boat.
- An object of the invention is to provide a rear carrying system that is robust and economical.
- An object of the invention is to maximize the lift and lift the boat out of the water.
- the invention provides a rear bearing system which includes the cooperation of a new airfoil and new deflector plates.
- the invention provides a load-bearing wing which is installed on the housing of the propeller shaft. It was not easy to position the wing at this level because naturally the reflex is to think that this position harms the quality of traction of the propeller sees an additional obstacle added before it.
- the invention proposes the addition of baffle deflector plates and water dynamic penetration profiles particularly cleverly arranged water.
- FIG. 1 represents a view from above, according to the invention, of the distribution of the bearing surfaces
- FIG. 3 represents a bottom profile view of the motorization according to the invention
- FIG. 5 shows the position of the underwater engine not equipped with the invention and not lowered.
- FIG. 6 represents the position of the underwater engine equipped with the invention and lowered underwater
- FIGS. 7a, 7b and 8a, 8b show a front and side view of hydro dynamic return plates according to the present invention
- FIG. 1 represents a view from above, according to the invention, of the distribution of the airfoils with two front wings (11a, 11b), a port forward wing (11a) and a starboard front wing (11b).
- a rear wing (10) positioned on the central longitudinal axis at the rear of the boat, typically secured to the hull of the engine assembly.
- Figure 2 shows a profile view of the bottom of traditional motorization. Which comprises a propeller (20) propelled by a direct drive shaft (23) horizontal.
- the direct drive shaft (23) is substantially horizontal and is driven by a vertical indirect drive shaft (24) at 90 ° relative to the direct drive shaft (23).
- the indirect drive shaft (24) joins the engine block positioned above the water.
- the direct motor shaft (23) is streamlined in a generally ogive-shaped bodywork.
- the vertical indirect drive shaft is streamlined in a substantially tubular oblong body.
- the hull of the indirect drive shaft includes grooves called anti cavitation plate (22) and anti stacking plate (21). These plates have the function of channeling the air and liquid flows to optimize the operation of the propeller under water.
- the engine is mounted in its lowest possible position under water, and for the purpose of being able to raise the boat as much as possible over the water. It is understood that in this case the relative position of anti cavitation plates and anti stacking plates are lower relative to the hull of the boat. In short, all the hydrodynamics of the boat is totally modified compared to the standard operation of the engine. In view of this, it appeared necessary to design and create new
- the invention proposes to position the airfoil at the front of the direct drive shaft keel (23) of the propeller. After multiple calculations, tests, it was found that the hydrodynamic operation of the boat was improved by positioning a motor deflection ring (70) positioned at the front of the indirect drive shaft hull, above the anti-stacking plates ( 21) and anti cavitation (22).
- This deflection ring (70) can cooperate substantially on the same horizontal plane with a substantially aligned boat hull deflection plate (90) which is fixed below the hull of the boat.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c respectively represent top views, of the front deflection ring (80), of the baffle plate (90), and of the airfoil (10) which is fixed by a complementary interlocking (43) on the direct drive shaft keel (23).
- the supporting wing adopting a symmetrical shape giving way to a left wing and a symmetrical right wing of the left wing.
- the invention realizes a combination of three innovations, namely, firstly lowering the position of the propeller under the boat, secondly, positioning the airfoil on the plane of the direct drive shaft of the propeller, third, add a deflection crown and possibly a deflection plate on the top and the front of the hull of the indirect drive shaft and in the extension under the hull of the boat.
- the deflection ring (80) may be a ring which comprises a set of superimposed double grooves in order to combine, for example, deflection forces on the air flows and on the water flows.
- FIGS. 5 shows how, according to a traditional position, in the normal position under water, anti-cavitation and anti-stacking plates fulfill their hydro dynamic function, and how by lowering the position of the motor in the water, the invention proposes the combination of a deflection ring (80) which can be above a hydrodynamic section penetration (70) which comes to dress the hull of the engine to increase the characteristics of penetration into the water of the engine hull which prior to the invention was not profiled to work under water.
- the deflection crown is positioned at the water level and by means of the combination of two deflection plates positioned one under water and the other above the water participates in a return of the flows of air and water to optimize the operation of the engine and therefore the boat.
- FIG. 7a, 7b and 8a, 8b show a front and profile view of hydro dynamic return plates according to the present invention, with the penetration profile plate (70) which, in front view, presents an elliptical profile for concentrating the flow of water at the internal structure, a leading edge (73) which maximizes the penetration into the water, and in profile view in FIG. 8b, a deflection ring (80) which presents which has front view an elliptical profile for concentrating the flow of water at the internal structure, and in profile a middle section which has a penetrating attack profile (83) penetrating so as to optimize the hydrodynamic return.
- the penetration profile plate (70) which, in front view, presents an elliptical profile for concentrating the flow of water at the internal structure, a leading edge (73) which maximizes the penetration into the water, and in profile view in FIG. 8b
- a deflection ring (80) which presents which has front view an elliptical profile for concentrating the flow of water at the internal structure, and
- deflection ring (80) and the penetration profile (70) present in profile on their rear unhooked cuts (74, 84) complementary to the shape of the engine hull so as to fit together solidly on the engine hull to support the various efforts that will be applied to it.
- the present invention therefore relates to a hydrodynamic assembly carrying outboard outboard sailing on a hull cooperating with a set of front fenders (l ia, 11b), the outboard is driven by a propeller power unit propelled underwater by a direct drive shaft (23) actuated by an indirect drive shaft (24), on an engine propulsion hull comprising anti-stacking (21) and anti-cavitation plates (22) positioned above the propeller (24) intended to position at the water level characterized in that the engine manufacturer position is lowered under water, the hull engine is dressed with a load-bearing wing (10) attached to the front on the hull of the hull direct shaft (23), a deflection ring (80) attached above the anti-stack (21) and anti-cavitation (22) plates and at the front and the hull of the indirect drive shaft (24) , a hydrodynamic penetration profile attached fitted to the front of the hull of the drive shaft in direct (24), occupying the space at the front of the engine between the top of the stacking
