Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce relative inclination between an inner shaft and a reversing bearing in a contra-rotating propeller device by tilting the reversing bearing according to the inclination of the inner shaft at the time of being inclined. CONSTITUTION:In a contra-rotating propeller device, a contra-rotating bearing 8 for supporting an inner shaft 4 is mounted into the inner hole of the propeller boss 5 of an outer shaft 3 through a spherical seat member 21 provided with the protruding spherical face and a spherical seat member 22 provided with the recessed spherical face, and lubricating oil is supplied to the spherical rotational contact face. As a result, when relative inclination is generated to the outer shaft 3 and the inner shaft 4 on the basis of difference between reaction and moment from water flow acting upon both propellers, the contra-rotating bearing 8 is tilting smoothly around the spherical rotational contact face by oil film pressure difference so as to reduce relative inclination between the inner shaft 4 and the bearing 8.

Here, in the counter-rotating propeller device, as described above, the relative inclination between the outer shaft 3 and the inner shaft 4 due to the difference in reaction force / moment from the water flow acting on the propeller causes
Inverting bearing 8 and inner shaft 4 installed in the inner hole of propeller boss 5.
In the case where the and the one-side contact occur, as shown in FIG. 3, oil film pressures P 1 and P 2 higher than those in the surroundings are generated in the portions of the bearing clearances that are close to each other. The reaction force F of the oil film pressure acts on the reversing bearing so as to follow the inclination of the inner shaft. In the case of this embodiment, since the back surface of the reversing bearing 8 is swingably supported by the set of spherical seat members 21 and 22, the reversing bearing 8 is reversed in FIG. It can be rotated clockwise. By this operation, the relative inclination between the reversing bearing 8 and the inner shaft 4 becomes small.

When the inner shaft 4 is tilted as described above, the oil supply hole 11
When an orifice (or a fluid throttle element) is installed in the valve, the orifice reduces the pressure in this part when the gap between the opening of the oil supply hole 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the reversing bearing 8 is about to increase. , It acts so that a large amount of oil does not flow out. This action and the phenomenon that the pressure increases in the opening on the side where the gap becomes narrower on the contrary, the inner shaft inscribed in the reversing bearing 8 is eccentric and locally contacts. The effect of preventing this is obtained.

Further, the high-pressure lubricating oil supplied through the radial holes 12 is once introduced into the clearance 13 between the reversing bearing 8 and the inner shaft 4, and the smooth groove 14 near the bearing end on the inner peripheral surface of the reversing bearing 8 is provided. High pressure is developed over the entire circumference inside, but the pressure is reduced to about ambient pressure by connecting another circumferential groove 30 slightly inside the bearing with the outer peripheral surface of the bearing through a hole (not shown). The action takes place. (This is to prevent the high pressure developed in the circumferential groove 14 from significantly affecting the formal oil film pressure distribution developed on the bearing surface by the radial oil supply holes 11.) Note that a set of spherical surfaces is provided. As a means for guiding the high-pressure lubricating oil to the spherical rolling contact surfaces of the seat members 21, 22, a pipe is laid on the inner hole surface of the outer shaft 3 in addition to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the pipe is used to form a spherical surface on the outer shaft 3 side. The high-pressure lubricating oil may be supplied via the seat member 22.
