Definitions

  • the invention relates to an auxiliary rudder on an electric Rudder propeller that rotates under the stern of a fast seagoing ship is arranged and as the main rudder for the ship serves, with the electric rudder propeller one Has electric motor in a housing that at the end of a Inertia is arranged, which rotates with the rear of the Is connected and an operating procedure for the Auxiliary rudder and a special use of the auxiliary rudder.
  • EP 0 901 449 B1 describes an auxiliary rudder for an electric one Rudder propeller known that at the rear edge of the Supporting shaft for the housing of the electric motor is arranged.
  • auxiliary rudder it is disadvantageous that it is in the swirled outflow zone of the supporting shaft for the housing of the electric motor and also partly in the swirled Outflow of the ship's stern is. From the above For reasons it is impaired in its effect and must also be mechanically very stable. About that in addition is its attachment and its adjustment mechanism consuming. The movement of the known auxiliary rudder takes place hydraulically. Overall, there is a complex, heavy Execution with impaired effect.
  • It is an object of the invention to provide an auxiliary rudder on an electric Rudder propeller indicate that the above Avoids disadvantages and according to particularly advantageous the operating method according to the invention on the different Needs related to its function in different Speeds of the ship is adjustable.
  • the auxiliary rudder under the housing of the electric motor is arranged.
  • it is advantageous directly in the propeller stream of the electric rudder propeller, or when using a pressure propeller in undisturbed Inflow position under the ship, so that a very has a good and direct effect.
  • the rudder because of its good location needs only to be trained small, it lies within the propeller turning circle of the electric rudder propeller and is not particularly endangered.
  • this is freely configurable, that is as a pre-balanced spade rudder or as a rudder suspended rudder blade, with or without partial pre-balancing, can be trained. So it's much better on the ship's speed and the desired effect tunable as one arranged on the rear edge of the trunk Auxiliary rudder.
  • the auxiliary rudder is advantageously either pointing downward then mounted on the housing of the electric motor the housing of the electric motor remains largely unchanged, or it is designed as a downward-pointing flow Housing fin formed. Then there is a special one aerodynamic design, especially when the auxiliary rudder is arranged at the rear end of the rudder propeller. Here when it detects a particularly course-stabilizing Effect. If the helm then the propeller spin compensating position is given (one is sufficient here low angular position) results as far as possible course-stable behavior of the ship at high speeds.
  • the auxiliary rudder is mechanical is designed to rotate, in particular by means of a Worm drive.
  • a worm drive allows a special flat design of the drive with self-locking effect. There is therefore no need for a special auxiliary rudder brake become.
  • the fault-prone hydraulic transmission lines are eliminated and cylinders.
  • a fully electric rudder design which in particular the continuous noise emission avoids the otherwise necessary hydraulic pumps. This is for Navy (Navy) ships of particular advantage, since here on low Noise emissions must be observed.
  • An embodiment of the invention is an operating method for the auxiliary rudder provided the movements of the auxiliary rudder controls depending on the ship's speed. It it is provided that the adjustment speed and / or the maximum adjustment angle depending on speed ranges is set.
  • the speed ranges are e.g. once the area small ride, once the area medium ride and once the area of fast travel. In in these areas the helm will adapt to its company-specific task used differently.
  • auxiliary rudder in the Navy is of particular importance (Navy) ships, which e.g. Mid-aisle waterjets with which the ship even when stationary Rudder propellers can be controlled and driven.
  • auxiliary rudders become independent operated and can be used both as a high-speed pedal also as a support rudder for the control by the Water jets are used.
  • FIGURE 1 denotes the underside of the ship's stern as well 3 the pull propeller and 4 the thrust propeller of the electric Rudder propellers 7.
  • 5 is the mounted base unit of the auxiliary rudder 6 referred to a fixed Part 2 is attached.
  • This auxiliary rudder design responds relatively insensitive to changes in propeller flow and is mechanically highly resilient.
  • FIGURE 2 which is an electric rudder propeller with a Switzerlandpropeller 9 shows the auxiliary rudder 10 as a pre-balanced Spade rudder trained.
  • FIG. 8 electrical are in the housing of the electric rudder propeller Arranged windings which e.g. over the outer wall of the Housing 8 are heated. So there is a special one slim shape of the housing 8 of the electric rudder propeller with little swirling of the water flowing past. Corresponding the effect of the auxiliary rudder is good.
  • the auxiliary rudder 10 is e.g. over a shaft with a worm wheel 12 and an electric motor with pinion 11 moves.
  • This Units can advantageously be in the free end at the rear of the housing 8 of the electric rudder propeller can be arranged.
  • a fin 13 which is integrally formed on the housing end is and a stabilizing effect when driving straight ahead exercises.
  • 13 denotes the ship's control unit, the Setpoint device for the rudder and flaps, e.g. the flaps 21 at the end of a water jet.
  • the setpoints are equipped with ramps and work e.g. speed-dependent.
  • the control unit advantageously corresponds to the usual one State of the ship automation and assigns programmable Controllers, e.g. of the type SIMATIC S7 from Siemens on.
  • the locking system 15 for the individual rudder system components is advantageous in this technique executed.
  • the locking system 15 reliably prevents that the control unit 18 for the auxiliary rudder Execute the rotary movement indicated by the double arrow 20 can, if the control unit for the azimuth control a indicated by the double arrow 19 rotary movement for the entire Rudder propeller controls.
  • the direction of the ship is controlled by three different rudder systems controlled. These are the rowing system for the one Rotation of the at least one electric rudder propeller, on the other hand the rudder system for turning the auxiliary rudder and the rudder system for the steering flaps on Blow-out flow from water jets, preferably in the middle of the ship.
  • the waterjets can also be easily carried out at the rear of the Ship also arranged above the waterline his.
  • the control of the rudder systems is usually dependent on the ship's speed. At a relatively low one Ship speed, e.g. in the range of 4 to 12 knts., the ship will only be powered by the electric rudder propeller driven. The direction of the ship is at this speed only with the twist of the electric rudder propellers and the azimuth drives arranged thereon. The position of the auxiliary rudder is advantageous here locked in the zero position relative to the housing. The twist angle of the electric rudder propellers is unlimited and is 0 to 360 degrees.
  • auxiliary rudder At a ship speed up to the maximum speed at the pure propulsion by electric rudder propellers Ship direction essentially with the twist of the electrical Rudder propeller drive system controlled.
  • the angle of twist is limited for the electric rudder propellers and lies e.g. in the range of 0 to ⁇ 40 degrees.
  • the auxiliary rudder then either works as a locked one depending on the requirement Trim rudder or, preferably when reaching the highest speed range, as a support rudder with a Deflection towards the main rudder caused by the electric Rudder propeller itself is formed. If auxiliary rudder and main rudder work together in one direction faster rowing maneuvers, especially a faster one Initiation of rowing maneuvers.
  • the ship At a ship speed that is slightly above the speed, accessible through the electric rudder propellers is, the ship is essentially powered by the waterjet drives.
  • the rudder propellers turn with, but do not generate the essential propulsion.
  • the direction of the ship is primarily only with the Controlled rotation of the auxiliary rudders.
  • In the lower speed range can also combine the auxiliary rudder with the steering flap (s) of the waterjet drives into one faster rowing maneuvers make sense.
  • the rudder position of the ship can only be with the steering flaps the waterjet drives take place.
  • the azimuth drives of the electric rudder propeller (s) are locked in their zero position when using the Waterjets. This position can be something for hydrodynamic reasons deviate from the zero position, e.g. in the range of ⁇ 5 degrees. So can a stable straight ahead without constant rudder maneuvers can be achieved.
  • auxiliary rudder In total there are four different and against each other mostly locked, but also partly rudder functions acting together in the same sense (bow thruster, Waterjet control, azimuth control of the rudder propellers, Auxiliary rudder).
  • the auxiliary rudder according to the invention has its main function when the ship is at higher speeds is driven. In the low speed steps of the ship can the auxiliary rudder for faster rowing maneuvers or for Course stabilization in combination with the main rudder, in this In case the rudder propellers are used advantageously.
