本発明の一態様に係るアジマス推進器によれば、ポッドと一体に設けられ、該ポッドの中心軸線に対して略直交する方向に長軸を有して延在する舵形状の舵板と、前記ポッドの端部に設けられ、前記舵板の上流側に設けられる推進器と、を備え、前記舵板の下流側長辺には、前記舵板の前記長軸方向に複数分割されて互いに独立に動作するフラップが設けられることを特徴とする。
以下、本発明に係る船舶に設けられているアジマス推進器について図1に基づいて説明する。
図1は、舶用推進装置の一例として、アジマス推進器の概略構成例を示している。図示のアジマス推進器1Aは、船舶(図示せず)の船尾等に取り付けて使用される舶用推進装置の一種である。このアジマス推進器1Aは、船舶の船内に設置した動力源(図示せず)の動力を機械的に伝達し、舵形状にした舵板4を介して船体に取り付けられたポッド2のプロペラ(推進器)3を駆動して推進力を得る装置である。さらに、このアジマス推進器1Aは、船舶に対して、舵として機能する舵板4と一体にポッド2が旋回することにより、船舶の推進(航行)方向を変化させることができる。
プロペラ3は、ポッド2の船首側(図1において右側)の端部であり、舵板4の上流側に設けられている。
船舶の船内に設置した旋回装置によって、プラペラ3が回転駆動しているアジマス推進器1Aを旋回する。その際に、アジマス推進器1Aを構成している舵板4の船尾側に設けられている複数のフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に折り曲げる(動作させる)。
舵板4の船尾側に設けられているフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを、例えば、紙面手前に折り曲げることにより、舵板4の船尾側に導かれた水流の流れ方向が2段階に変化する。
舵板4の船首側(上流側)の端部にプロペラ(推進器)3を有しているポッド2と一体に設けられている舵形状の舵板4の船尾側の長辺(下流側長辺)に舵板4の長軸方向に6分割(複数分割)されたフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを設けることとした。さらに、これらフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fは、各々独立に動作可能とすることとした。これにより、プロペラ3から舵板4の側面を経て舵板4の船尾側の長辺へと導かれるプロペラ3の水流方向に応じて、各フラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを動かすことができる。そのため、プロペラ3による水流を妨げることなく各フラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを折り曲げて(動作させて)、舵抵抗を低減してアジマス推進器1Aを小舵角にて旋回させることができる。また、フラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に動作することができるので、水流の流れを大きく変化させたい位置のフラップ5dを大きく折り曲げることによって舵力を増加させることができる。したがって、アジマス推進器1Aの旋回性能を高めると共に、アジマス推進器1Aを旋回させる際の船体振動や関連機器の振動を抑制することができる。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器およびこれを備えた船舶は、舵板の船首側にフラップを設ける点で、第1実施形態と相違しその他は同様である。したがって、同一の構成および制御方法については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器1Bは、舵板4の船尾側に6分割されたフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fが設けられると共に、舵板4の船首側(上流側、図2において右側)であってプロペラ(推進器)3の後流近傍の長辺(上流側長辺)に1つのフラップ6が設けられている。
船舶の船内(図示せず)に設置した旋回装置(図示せず)によって、プラペラ3が回転駆動しているアジマス推進器1Bを旋回する。その際に、アジマス推進器1Bを構成している舵板4の船首側に設けられているフラップ6を折り曲げる(動作させる)。また、舵板4の船尾側に設けられている複数のフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に折り曲げる。
舵板4の船首側(上流側)に設けられているプロペラ(推進器)3を端部に有しているポッド2と一体に設けられている舵形状の舵板4には、舵板4の船首側の長辺(上流側長辺)にフラップ6を設けることとした。これにより、プロペラ3が回動する際に生じる水流およびアジマス推進器1Bが旋回する際に生じる旋回流をフラップ6によって整流して、ポッド2および舵板4の側面へと導くことができる。そのため、舵抵抗を低減して、アジマス推進器1Bを小舵角にて旋回させることができる。したがって、アジマス推進器1Bの旋回性能を高めることができる。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器およびこれを備えた船舶は、舵板の船首側に複数のフラップを設ける点で、第2実施形態と相違しその他は同様である。したがって、同一の構成および制御方法については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器1Cは、舵板4の船尾側に6分割されたフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fが設けられると共に、舵板4の船首側(上流側、図3において右側)であってプロペラ(推進器)3の後流近傍の長辺(上流側長辺)に舵板4の長軸方向に複数に分割(例えば、6分割)されているフラップ7が設けられている。
船舶の船内(図示せず)に設置した旋回装置(図示せず)によって、プラペラ3が回転駆動しているアジマス推進器1Cを旋回する。その際に、アジマス推進器1Cを構成している舵板4の船首側に設けられているフラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを各々独立に折り曲げる(動作させる)。また、舵板4の船尾側に設けられている複数のフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に折り曲げる。
舵板4の船首側の長辺(上流側長辺)には、舵板4の長軸方向に6分割(複数分割)されたフラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを設け、各フラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを各々独立に折り曲げる(動作する)こととした。そのため、プロペラ(推進器)3が生じる水流方向に応じて合わせてフラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを動かして整流することができる。したがって、急激な水流の変化を少なくすることができ、舵板4への負荷や振動の発生を抑制することができる。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器およびこれを備えた船舶は、舵板の側面に溝を設ける点で、第3実施形態と相違しその他は同様である。したがって、同一の構成および制御方法については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器1Dは、舵板4の側面にプロペラ(推進器)3が回転することによって生じる水流方向に沿って舵板4の船首側の長辺(上流側長辺)から船尾側の長辺(下流側長辺)に延在している、例えば、4つ(少なくとも1)の整流板(整流手段)8を備えている。
整流板8は、略長方形状であり、本実施形態の場合には、舵板4の船首側から船尾側へと向かって下方に傾斜して4つ設けられている。
船舶の船内(図示せず)に設置した旋回装置(図示せず)によって、プラペラ3が回転駆動しているアジマス推進器1Dを旋回する。その際に、アジマス推進器1Dを構成している舵板4の船首側に設けられているフラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを各々独立に折り曲げる(動作させる)。また、舵板4の船尾側に設けられている複数のフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に折り曲げる。
プロペラ(推進器)3が回転することによって生じる水流方向に沿って延在している整流板(整流手段)8を舵板4の側面に設けることとした。これにより、舵板4の側面に導かれたプロペラからの水流を整流して舵板4の船首側の長辺(上流側長辺)から船尾側の長辺(下流側長辺)と導くことができる。そのため、舵板4の船尾側の長辺へ導かれる水流に乱れが生じないため、舵板4の船尾側の長辺に設けられているフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを効果的に折り曲げる(動作させる)ことができる。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器およびこれを備えた船舶は、舵板の側面に設けられた整流板が舵板の側面に対して平行に回動する点で、第4実施形態と相違しその他は同様である。したがって、同一の構成および制御方法については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施形態のアジマス推進器1Eの舵板4の側面には、舵板4の側面上に回動可能とされている整流板9が設けられている。
船舶の船内(図示せず)に設置した旋回装置(図示せず)によって、プラペラ(推進器)3が回転駆動しているアジマス推進器1Eを旋回する。その際に、アジマス推進器1Eを構成している舵板4の船首側の長辺(上流側長辺)に設けられているフラップ7a、7b、7c、7d、7e、7fを各々独立に折り曲げる(動作させる)。また、舵板4の船尾側の長辺(下流側長辺)に設けられている複数のフラップ5a、5b、5c、5d、5e、5fを各々独立に折り曲げる。
舵板4の側面上に回動可能に整流板(整流手段)9を設けることとした。そのため、潮流の変化やプロペラ(推進器)3の回転数の変化により舵板4に導かれる水流の変化に合わせて、整流板9の延在方向を変えることができる。したがって、複雑な水流に対応することができる。
