Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、船舶におけるポッド型推進器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
船舶における推進器には、最近では、船体から垂下するストラットの下端にポッドを形成するとともに、ポッドに強制駆動される駆動軸を一部突出させて収容し、この突出部に推進翼を取り付けたものがある。このストラットは、船体内に設けられるステアリング装置によって水平回転できるようになっていて舵装置を別に必要としないから、推進器構造や舵構造が簡単になる利点がある。このため、最近の船舶では、このポッド型推進器を装備する傾向にある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この場合、駆動軸の駆動機構は、ポッドに電動機を収容し、その出力軸を直接又は減速して駆動軸としている。従って、ポッドは電動機の発熱で加熱されるから、空冷式や水冷式の冷却装置によって冷却していた。このような冷却装置を設けると、コストがかかる上にスペースも必要とし、ポッドが徒に大型化することになる。本発明は、このような課題を解決するものであり、ポッドのほぼ全周を海水と接触可能にすることで、冷却装置を不要にしたものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上の課題の下、本発明は、請求項1に記載した、船体から垂下するストラットの下端に設けられるポッドに電動機を収容し、電動機の出力軸を直接に又は適宜減速して駆動軸としてその軸端部をポッド外に突出させるとともに、この突出部分に推進翼を取り付けた船舶におけるポッド型推進器において、ポッドの外郭壁を電動機のステータの一部とするとともに、ロータの軸を駆動軸とし、かつ、ストラットのポッドに対する付け根部分に、中央を前後に延びるリブを残して左右の表面から凹陥する凹み又は左右に貫通するトンネルを形成したことを特徴とする船舶におけるポッド型推進器を提供したものである。
【0005】
本発明は、ストラットのポッドに対する付け根部分に、表面から凹陥する凹み又は左右に貫通するトンネルを形成したものであるから、凹み又はトンネルの中に海水が侵入し、ポッドの外周の大部分が海水と接触可能となる。従って、ポッドは海水によって直接冷却され、殊更、冷却装置を必要としない。尚、従来でも、ポッドは海水と接触して冷却されるが、ストラットの部分は冷却されないから、この部分を冷却する冷却装置を必要としていたのである。
【0006】
さらに、本発明は、ポッドの外郭壁を電動機の一部とするとともに、ロータの軸を駆動軸 としたものであるから、その構造は更に簡単になるし、冷却効果は一層高くなる。
【0007】
削除
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。図1は本発明の一例を示すポッドの一部断面側面図、図2は横断面図であるが、船舶におけるポッド型推進器は、船体1からストラット2を垂下させ、ストラット2の下端にポッド3を接続し、この中に駆動軸4をポッド3の前方又は後方に突出させた状態で横設し、この突出部分にプロペラ等の推進翼5を取り付けたものである。
【0009】
この場合、ストラット2は、ポッド3の径よりも小さい幅を有して前後に連なる帯状のもので、船体1内に設けられるステアリング装置6(詳細は省略するが、7はその駆動原たるモータ)によって水平回転可能に吊支されている。従って、ステアリング装置6を作動させてその向きを変えることで船体は旋回する。このため、舵装置を不要とし、推進器構造や舵構造が簡単になる。
【0010】
本例においては、ポッド3に回転数を制御できる交流又は直流式の電動機8を収容し、その出力軸を直接駆動軸4としている。加えて、本例では、ポッド3の外郭壁9をステータ10のケースに兼用、即ち、外郭壁9をステータ10の一部としており、ロータ11の軸を駆動軸4としている。これによると、ポッド3を小型化できて水の抵抗を小さくできるし、発熱源であるステータ10を直接海水と接触させることができるから、冷却効果が高くなる利点がある。又、ストラット2とポッド3とを一体化できる利点もある。
【0011】
本発明は、ストラット2のポッド3に対する付け根部分に、表面からポッド3の幅方向に凹陥する凹み12を形成したものである。これによると、凹み12内に海水が侵入し、ポッド3(外郭壁9)の外周のほぼ全周が海水(川船等では真水になる)と接触可能になる。従って、海水は、ポッド3のほぼ全周を冷却することになって冷却効果が高く、冷却装置を敢えて必要としない。
【0012】
ところで、本例における凹み12は、ストラット2の付け根部分(ポッド3の外周部分)の中央を前後に延びるリブ13を残して左右の表面から凹陥させたもので形成している。このリブ13は、強度面から設けているものであるが、その厚みは薄くて足りるから、海水と接触できないのは、このリブ13の部分だけになり、冷却能力をそれほどは低下させない。
【0013】
図3は凹み12の他の例を示す横断面図であるが、本例のものは、付け根部分に、左右に貫通するトンネル14を設けたものである。これによると、海水はストラット2の左右に循環するから、冷却効果は一層高い。尚、トンネル14を形成すると強度が弱くなるが、トンネル14は、ストラット2の前後方向の幅の中に形成されるから、その幅を調整することで、強度面の低下を抑えられる。図4は凹み12の他の例を示す側面図であるが、本例のものは、トンネル14内にリブ15を左右方向に隔設したものである。これによると、トンネル14の前後幅を長くすることができ、冷却効果を高めることができる。
【0014】
【発明の効果】
以上、本発明によれば、ストラットに形成された凹みに海水が侵入でき、ポッドは、そのほぼ全周に亘って海水と接触可能である。従って、ポッドは、この海水で冷却され、別に冷却装置を必要としない。これにより、全体が小型化し、水の抵抗が少ない省エネのものとなる。又、構造も簡略化されるから、製造コストも安くなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pod type propulsion device in a ship.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, a propeller in a ship has a pod formed at the lower end of a strut that hangs down from a hull, and a drive shaft that is forced to be driven by the pod is partially protruded and accommodated, and a propulsion blade is attached to the protrusion. There is something. Since this strut can be rotated horizontally by a steering device provided in the hull and does not require a separate rudder device, there is an advantage that the propeller structure and rudder structure are simplified. For this reason, recent ships tend to be equipped with this pod type propulsion device.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this case, the drive mechanism of the drive shaft houses the electric motor in the pod, and the output shaft thereof is directly or decelerated to be the drive shaft. Therefore, since the pod is heated by the heat generated by the electric motor, the pod is cooled by an air cooling type or a water cooling type cooling device. Providing such a cooling device is costly, requires space, and increases the size of the pod. The present invention solves such problems, and eliminates the need for a cooling device by allowing almost the entire circumference of the pod to be in contact with seawater.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Under the above-described problems, the present invention provides an electric motor accommodated in a pod provided at the lower end of a strut hanging from the hull according to claim 1, and the output shaft of the electric motor is directly or appropriately decelerated to serve as a drive shaft. In a pod-type propulsion device in a ship with a shaft end protruding outside the pod and a propulsion blade attached to the protruding portion , the outer wall of the pod is part of the stator of the motor, and the shaft of the rotor is the drive shaft. In addition, a pod type propulsion device for a ship is provided in which a recess recessed from the left and right surfaces or a tunnel penetrating from side to side is formed at a base portion of the strut with respect to the pod , leaving a rib extending in the front and rear in the center . Is.
[0005]
In the present invention, a recess recessed from the surface or a tunnel penetrating from side to side is formed at the base portion of the strut with respect to the pod, so that seawater enters the recess or tunnel , and most of the outer periphery of the pod is seawater. Can be contacted. Thus, the pod is directly cooled by seawater and does not require a cooling device. Conventionally, the pod is cooled in contact with seawater, but the strut portion is not cooled, so a cooling device for cooling this portion is required.
[0006]
Furthermore, the present invention, with the outer wall of the pod to be part of the motor, since it is the axis of the rotor obtained by the drive shaft, to the structure becomes simpler, the cooling effect is further enhanced.

【The invention's effect】
As mentioned above, according to this invention, seawater can penetrate | invade into the dent formed in the strut, and a pod can contact seawater over the perimeter. Therefore, the pod is cooled by this seawater and does not require a separate cooling device. Thereby, the whole is reduced in size, and it becomes an energy-saving thing with little water resistance. Further, since the structure is simplified, the manufacturing cost is also reduced.
