Abstract

The present invention relates to a veering and propulsion device of a boat, especially one or more propulsion devices as required provided on the bottom of the ship, comprising a water flow propulsion pipe which includes one or more water inlet ports and relative water outlet ports, each water inlet port provided with a valve and each water outlet port provided with a propeller. The water flow propulsion pipe is mounted to a fixing disk at a lower end of a veering axle extending from inside of the boat to outside of the boat, and a gear is provided at the upper end of the veering axle. The gear is driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor to make the veering axle drive the water flow propulsion pipe to veer. A transmission shaft is provided in the axle bore of the veering axle for driving propeller in the water outlet port of the water flow propulsion pipe. By this design, the propeller in the water outlet port of each water flow propulsion pipe is driven by the transmission shaft, making water flow enter from the water inlet port at the front end and discharge through the water outlet port at the rear end, to form a more concentrated water flow thrust, thereby enhance propulsion efficiency. By using the veering axle to drive and control each water flow propulsion pipe to veer a proper angle in accordance with the desired propulsion direction, the water flow propulsion direction conforms to the desired advancing direction or veering direction of the boat, to make the boat advance in the desired direction. Moreover, the water flow propulsion pipe arranged at each position under the boat bottom can generate effective thrust at each position under the boat bottom, so that when the boat is advancing or encounters a surge, the advancing speed efficiency of the boat can be greatly enhanced by the characteristics of thrust generated at each different position under the boat bottom. The number of the operating water flow propulsion pipe can be adjusted properly in accordance with the actual ocean current, allowing only one or more performing propulsion, to achieve the object of effectively utilizing the thrust and saving energy consumption. Furthermore, by collocating the directions of each set of water flow propulsion pipe at the front and rear side, the minimum radius of veering of the boat can be achieved. Thus, the present invention is a highly inventive creation making use of technology thought of nature rules.

Description of the invention () The present invention relates to a ship's steering and propulsion device, especially a propulsion device provided at the bottom of the ship as required, so that the water flow being pushed forms a more concentrated The thrust of the water flow improves the propulsion efficiency. At the same time, each propulsion device that can independently steer and generate individual thrusts can be used to steer at an appropriate angle according to the required propulsion direction so that the direction of the water flow is in line with the forward direction of the ship or the crossbow. Direction, so that the ship can advance in the required direction, and can generate effective thrust at each different position on the bottom of the ship, so that when the ship is traveling or encountering large waves, The characteristic of generating thrust greatly improves the efficiency of the ship's travel speed, and the number of propulsion devices can be adjusted in time according to the actual current conditions, so as to effectively use the thrust and save energy. According to the conventional ship (4), as shown in the sixth and seventh figures, most of them are provided with a rear rudder plate (41) after the auger (4 2) provided below the tail end of the ship (4), The direction of movement of the ship (4) can be changed by controlling the swing angle of the backboard (41), and the purpose of controlling the turning of the ship (4) is achieved, but the conventional ship (4) When the rear propeller (4 2) is used for propulsion, its propulsive power and role are concentrated only at the stern, so its propulsive efficiency is not good, and when the ship (4) encounters the resistance of the big wave current, it will also cause Its propulsive power is concentrated only on the stern, which greatly reduces the propulsion efficiency of the ship (4), and therefore affects the advance speed of the ship (4), and wastes a lot of fuel, which increases the cost. Furthermore, Xi It is known that when the ship (4) controls the steering by the rear rudder plate (4 1), the ship (4) itself is displaced before a certain speed, so when the rear rudder plate (41) is swung a certain angle, When the ship (4) is changed in direction, its bow will still be produced in a short time In the state of continuing to progress, the entire hull of the ship (4) can be avoided from other ships (5) when the stern is shifted to an appropriate position. Therefore, the known ship (4) cannot be effective when turning. Control the offset of the bow so that the hull still produces an offset vector when turning. Therefore, in emergency situations, the ship (4) cannot be avoided in a short distance _ — page 2 ^ The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) '^ ~' π
