Description

MARINE PROPELLER
The present invention relates to a marine propeller used in the propulsion system of a ship. More precisely the invention relates to the structure of this kind propeller and to a marine propulsion system utilizing this kind of a propeller.
The propulsion systems of ships typically in general level comprise one or more engines or motors providing rotational movement and torque, one or more propeller shafts for transferring the rotational movement and torque from the one or more engines to one or more marine propellers, and marine propellers for transferring the rotational movement and torque to thrust for the ship.
The marine propellers used in ships comprise typically a propeller hub to which the blades of the propeller are fixed, and via which propeller hub the propeller is fixed to the propeller shaft.
The marine propellers can be manufactured as a single piece, i.e. by casting, wherein the hub and blades of the propeller form a solid propeller. This kind of propellers are also called monobloc propellers. Alternatively, the marine propellers can be manufactured in pieces, typically the hub and the individual blades as separate pieces, wherein the blades are fixed to the hub typically with bolts and studs to form an assembled propeller.
Monobloc propellers are generally used, but the larger ship propellers cannot be cast in a single casting due to the size of the propeller in relation to the size of the available casting equipment, which generally leads to the use of assembled propeller. Further advantage of the assembled propellers is that individual blades can be changed without removing and changing of the whole propeller when the blades get damaged, which makes them preferable for example for ice-going vessels. This makes the repairing process of the propeller easier and can often be carried out without drydocking the ship.
The power of engines used in propulsion systems of ships have been continuously increasing, which have caused the strength requirements of the marine propellers to increase correspondingly. This has caused the weight of marine propellers to increase. The increased weight of propellers causes increased structural demands and restrictions for the rest of the propulsion system, such as for the diameter of the propeller shaft and for the placement of bearings. Further, the increase of material used in the manufacturing of the propellers also increases the manufacturing, installation, and transportation requirements of the propellers, as well as increases the cost of the propellers.
In order to overcome the above problems with the prior art assembled propellers, the present invention provides a novel ship propeller, which propeller does not comprise a hub. This allows significant weight savings for the propeller of the invention in comparison to the prior art propellers, thus deceasing the related structural requirements of the propulsion system of the ship and cost of the propeller itself. Further, the propeller of the invention typically comprises less parts than the prior art assembled propellers, which makes it easier to manufacture.
The marine propeller of the invention for a propulsion system of a ship comprises a plurality of detachable blades, and is configured to be fixed to a propeller shaft of a propulsion system of a ship, wherein the detachable blades forming the propeller are configured to be fixed to the end surface of the propeller shaft or of a flange formed at the end of the propeller shaft.
This allows the hub part of the propeller to be removed from the construction of the propeller of the invention, which provides significant weight, and related cost, savings.
In the present invention the blades of the propeller are connected to the propeller shaft preferably directly, which means that the fixing means, such as bolts and preferably also studs for example, extend to the material of the propeller shaft.
In the context of the present invention a ship preferably means a marine vessel of a suitable size to properly allow the utilization of the advantages obtained with the present invention. In practice this means that the ship typically has a length of 24 m or more.
The propeller of the invention is preferably a large marine propeller in order to properly allow the utilization of the advantages obtained with the present invention. In practice this means that the diameter of the propeller is 2 m or more, preferably 3 m or more. The material of the propeller is preferably metal, such as bronze or stainless steel for example, but other metal materials may also be used.
In an embodiment of a marine propeller of the invention the propeller comprises a cap connected to the detachable blades of the propeller. This cap allows additional structural support for the blades and for the whole propeller at the side away from the propeller shaft. In an embodiment of a marine propeller of the invention number of detachable blades is three or more. Preferably the number of detachable blades in a propeller is four, but the number of detachable blades may also be three, five or six.
In an embodiment of a marine propeller of the invention the detachable blades are fixed to the shaft with a fixing system comprising bolts and preferably also studs. This allows the separate blades to be replaced and repaired easily when the need arises without drydocking the ship and without disassembling the whole propeller.
The present invention also provides a marine propulsion system for providing propulsion for a ship, which propulsion system comprises at least one engine or motor, a propeller, and a propeller shaft for conveying the rotational power from the at least one engine to the propeller, wherein the propeller is a marine propeller of the invention as defined above.
The engine or motor in the propulsion system of the present invention may be any suitable device, system and/or arrangement providing rotative motion and torque for the propeller via the propeller shaft. Examples of these include combustion engine, electrical engine, and turbine.
In addition to the traditional propulsion systems, wherein the propulsion system is located inside the hull of a ships, with the exception of the propeller and part of the propeller shaft, the propulsion system of the invention may also be implemented as a pod-type construction, wherein the propulsion system is located, completely or partially, in a separate pod that can be rotated in relation to the hull of the ship.
In an embodiment of a marine propulsion system of the invention the system may typically comprises a rope guard.
The present invention also provides a ship that comprises a marine propeller according to the invention and/or a marine propulsion system according to the invention. The ship of the invention is preferably an ice class ship, i.e. ship designed to travel in at least some thickness of ice, such as an icebreaker, a Polar Class ship, or an Arctic Class ship for example, wherein the construction of the propeller allows easy repairing of damaged blades. Alternatively, the ship of the invention may be an open-water ship wherein the construction of the propeller of the invention allows manufacture of very large propellers.

In this embodiment the fixing portions 2a of the blades 2 extend at an angle in the longitudinal direction of the propeller shaft 4 so that the diameter formed by the fixing portions 2a is greater at the flange 5 than at the cap part 6.
The embodiment of figure 3C corresponds substantially to the embodiment of figure 3B, but in this embodiment the fixing portions 2a of the blades 2 extend at an angle in the longitudinal direction of the propeller shaft 4 so that the diameter formed by the fixing portions 2a is smaller at the flange 5 than at the cap part 6.
Figure 3D shows an embodiment, there the outer surface of the fixing portions 2a of the blades 2 forming the propeller 10 are formed curved.
Figure 4, schematically showing an embodiment of the present invention as an exploded view, further illustrates the construction of the propeller 10 of the invention.
