III IIIIll!!!llllllllllllllilllll!rill! dlllllllllllll nil THRUSTER UNIT This invention relates to a thruster unit for a ship and one example is to provide a thruster unit which is particularly simple to disassemble for maintenance purposes. For example some previously known thruster units required access from the bottom of the hull for maintenance purposes which frequently necessitated using a dry dock but one object of the present invention is to enable the components that are likely to require maintenance to be removable from within the ship.
According to the present invention a thruster unit for a ship comprises a unitary housing defining a pair of side by side, open ended vertical passages with a transverse passage joining them near their respective upper ends and a pump assembly removably fitted into one vertical passage from its upper end and a deflector assembly fitted into the other vertical passage from its upper end.
This means that when building the thruster unit into a ship, the housing can be built into the hull possibly by welding or bolting to a plate fitted into an elongated hole in the bottom of the hull and then the pump assembly and the deflector assembly respectively can be simply lowered into the respective vertical passages and secured in position. Drives and lubricating means will be at the upper end and can simply be disconnected prior to withdrawal of the complete assembly upwards from the vertical passage if maintenance is necessary.
Preferably either or both the pump assembly and the deflector assembly comprise a rotor mounted for rotation in a stator which can be slide fitted in the corresponding vertical passage. This avoids the problem of having to be sealed between openings of the vertical passage and the assembly.
The pump or deflector or both can be fitted with curved guide plates forming a part of the stator so that water which is pumped from one vertical passage to the other through the transverse passage is turned simply through the two right angles without excessive losses.
The invention may be carried into practice in various ways and one embodiment will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing, of which the single FIGURE is a horizontal section of a bow thruster unit for a barge embodying the invention.
The bow thruster unit consists essentially of three components, a pump assembly 11, a deflector assembly 12 and the housing assembly 13.
The housing assembly is carried on a thick steel plate 14 which fits into a corresponding elongated hole cut in the flat bottom 15 of the hull of the barge and welded into place The plate 14 has two circular holes or openings immediately below a pair of hollow cylindrical members 16 and 17 defining vertical passage which extend vertically side by side, being welded at their bottom edges at 18 to the openings in the plate 14. The members 16 and 17 are interconnected near their upper ends by a short transverse cylinder 19 welded around corresponding opposed openings in the sides of the passages. This housing assembly thus defines a pas sage for water to flow upwards in the member 16, horizontally through the passage 19, and downwards in the member 17.
The pump assembly 11 can be slid vertically into the member 16 and it comprises a rotor on a shaft 21 carrying a pump 22 and a stator sleeve 23 which is a slide fit at 24 in the lower end of the member 16. The assembly 11 includes a top plate 25 which is bolted around the top of the member 16 and includes lubricating and bearing arrangements and also three curved guide plates 26 and stiffenerplates 27 which form a part of the stator assembly welded around a tube 28 within which the shaft 21 rotates and which act to turn water pumped upwardly by the pump 22 simply through an angle of into the horizontal passage 19. The lower end of the member 16 is closed by a protective grill 29 but this is not in contact with the pump assembly 11.
The deflector assembly 12 is generally similar to the pump assembly 11 except that at the bottom end of its shaft 31 it carries a rotatable deflector ring 32 consisting of deflector plates which can discharge water flowing downwards in the member 17 to have a horizontal component of movement which is in any selected direction in the horizontal plane so that the thrust produced by the unit can be in a direction chosen by appropriate rotation of the shaft 31. It should be noted that the deflector 32 can slide with clearance within the bottom end of the member 17 and that the part 33 of the plate 14 which surrounds the deflector 32 is bevelled to define one side of the discharge passage.
Once the housing assembly l4, 16, 17 has been built into the bottom of the barge it would be a permanent fixture and will require no maintenance, whereas the components which have moving parts and which require lubrication namely the pump assembly 11 and the deflector assembly 12 can be slid vertically upwards out of the members 16, 17 into the hull of the ship at any time that maintenance is necessary.
