Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a propeller drive installa ⁇ tion in a boat, comprising at least two propeller drive units coupled to a drive plant, said drive units each having a first angle gearing enclosed in an upper gear housing and having first and second shafts, of which one is an input shaft intended to be coupled to a drive plant, and a drive unit leg extending downward from the upper gear housing with a second angle gearing enclosed in a lower gear housing and having at least one propeller shaft.
  • Marine drive plants can, in principle, be divided into two main groups, firstly, traditional inboard installations, in which the engine and transmission (reversing gear) are placed inboard and are coupled to a relatively long, rigid propeller shaft which extends obliquely downwards and aft and out through a sealed bearing in the bottom of the boat, and, secondly, so-called inboard-outboard drive installations, in which a motor mounted inboards is coupled to a propeller drive unit with a propeller leg, which is completely or partially disposed on the outside of the boat hull and has a lower bevel gear with a short horizontal propeller shaft.
  • the pro ⁇ peller drive unit is tiltably and pivotally hung on a shell mounted on the outside of the boat transom.
  • This type of drive is often twin mounted in fast motorboats of up to 35 ft in length.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to achieve a drive installation of the type described by way of introduction, which is arranged so that its forward propulsion can be reduced to below the propulsion obtained at normal operation at the lowest possible motor rpm.
  • each drive unit is associated with steering means which permit setting one leg to turn the boat in one direc ⁇ tion at the same time as the other leg can be set to turn the boat in the opposite direction.
  • the horizontal forces from the drives can be divided into a forward propelling force and a lateral force or yaw force.
  • the yaw forces will cancel each other, which means that the resulting forward propulsion will be lower than when the drive legs are set parallel to each other. In this manner it is possible, in principle, to obtain an infinitely low forward propulsion, regardless of the motor rpm, and to be zero if the drive legs are turned so that the propeller shafts are directed directly away from or directly towards each other.
  • the drive unit legs each extend through an individual opening in the bottom of the boat, and the lower gear housing of each drive unit is mounted to pivot relative to the upper gear housing about a pivot axis coinciding with the rotational axis of the second shaft of the upper angle gearing, and each drive unit leg has an upper portion which is mounted in rolling bearings in a bearing housing fixed to the upper gear housing.
  • the rotatable mounting of the drive unit leg relative to the upper gear housing provides unsurpassed maneuverability in comparison to the completely inboard installation and is better than conventional inboard-outboard drives, which all have a limited steering angle range.
  • a drive unit leg rota ⁇ tably projecting through an opening in the boat bottom can theoretically be rotated 360° and thus, when rotated 90° from a position for dead ahead propulsion, can function in the same manner as a bow propeller, i.e. exerting purely lateral forces on the boat hull and thus making docking and casting off much easier.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a propeller drive installation according to the invention with twin propeller units
  • Fig. 2 is an enlargement of the left-hand drive unit shown in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through a drive unit in
  • Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through a second embodiment of a propeller drive unit, which can be used in a propeller drive installation according to the invention.
  • the numeral 1 generally designates the bottom of a V-bottomed boat.
  • each bottom portion 2 and 3 respective ⁇ ly, there is an opening 4 and 5, respectively, through which there extends a leg 6 and 7, respectively, of a drive unit 8 and 9, respectively.
  • the drive units 8 and 9 are identical with the exception that they are mirror images of each other, and the invention will in the following be described only with reference to the left-hand drive 8 with particular refe ⁇ rence to Fig. 2.
  • the drive unit 8 has an upper transmission which comprises a gear housing 10, in which an input shaft 11 and an intermedi ⁇ ate shaft 12 are rotatably mounted.
  • the input shaft 11 has a conical gear 13 non-rotatably fixed to the shaft and which engages two gears 1 , 15, which are freely rotatably mounted on the intermediate shaft and which are coordinated to indi ⁇ vidual clutches 16,17, by means of which one or the other of the gears 14, 15 can be locked to the intermediate shaft.
  • the clutches are placed outside the angle gearing formed of the conical gears 13,14 and 15, i.e. on the sides of the ' gears 14,15 facing away from each other, in order to place the gears 14,15 close to each other.
  • the reversing transmission described can be of the same type as is shown and described in SE-A-469 292, to which reference is made for further details.
  • the gear housing 10 is carried in the interior of a shell 18 which is open downwards and aft and is closed on the other sides.
  • the shell 18 has on its right-hand side, as viewed in Fig. 2, a stub shaft 19 which is fixed in the side of the shell and carries a needle bearing 20 housed in a bearing cup 21 in a bearing seat 22 formed in the gear housing 10.
  • the seals 23 between the stub shaft 19 and the cup 21 prevent water from penetrating into the bearing.
  • the center axis "c" of the stub shaft 19 is coaxial with the rotational axis of the input shaft 11.
  • the input shaft 11 is mounted, firstly, in a needle bearing 24 in a bearing retainer 25 fixed in the shell 18 and, secondly, in two conical roller bearings 26,27 carried in bearing seats in the gear housing 10.
  • the input shaft 11 also serves as a shaft end to enable, together with the stub shaft 19, the gear housing to pivot about the center axis "c", which is oriented athwartships, i.e. trans ⁇ versally to the length of the boat.
  • Seals 28 between a flange 29 on the gear housing 10 and the outside of the bearing retainer 25 prevent water from penetrating into the gear housing.
  • the stub shaft 19 and the bearing retainer 25 have flange portions 30,31 fixed (screwed) to the hood 18 and which are identical so that it will be easy to shift the input side for the input shaft 11, depending on whether the drive unit is to be coupled to the left-hand or right-hand side of a motor.
  • the motor is coupled to the input shaft 11 via an angle gearing, which is schema ⁇ tically indicated and labelled 32 in Fig. 1.
  • the output shaft 33 of the angle gearing (Fig. 2) is coupled via a splines connection to the input shaft 11.
  • the embodiment described also permits operation with two motors, where an input shaft corresponding to shaft 11 is journalled in the drive unit on its right-hand side (Fig. 2) .
  • a drive installation can thus comprise one or two motors.
  • the lower portion of the gear housing 10 is provided with a flange 40, to which an upper flange 41 on a bearing housing 42 is screwed fast.
  • a bearing housing 42 In the bearing housing 42, there is mounted an upper portion 43 of the leg 6 (Fig. 1) mounted in ball bearings 44 and 45.
  • the leg At the lower edge area of the bearing housing 42, the leg has a mushroom-like portion 46, the outer edge 47 of which abuts the inner edge of the lower opening of the bearing housing.
  • a vertical circular flange 48 extends from the portion 46 and has on its outer periphery a toothed rim 49 fixed thereto. The toothed rim 49 engages a gear which is driven by a servo motor (not shown) coupled to the boat steering.
  • the seals 50 between the inside of the flange 48 and an opposite flange 51 on the bearing housing prevent penetration of water.
  • leg 6 there is an output shaft 60 mounted, which, via external splines and a splines sleeve (not shown) , is non-rotatably joined to the intermediate shaft 12.
  • the lower portion of the leg 6 forms a gear housing 61 (Fig. 3) for an angle gearing consisting of a driving conical gear 62 fixed to the output shaft 60, and two gears 65 and 66, respective ⁇ ly, fixed to individual propeller shafts 63 and 64, respec ⁇ tively.
  • the arrangement is thus of a type which is known per se for counter-rotating twin propellers, for example, such propellers as are shown and described in US-A-4 619 584 and US-A-Re 34011.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 only show schematically the pro ⁇ peller hub 67 and 68, respectively. It is also evident here- from that the leg 6 is provided, in a known manner, with an anti-cavitation plate 69 and a skeg 70.
  • numeral 80 designates both the opening in the transom 81 of the boat and the rear opening of the shell 18.
  • the edges 82 of the shell are sealed tightly to the edges 83 of the open ⁇ ing 80 in the transom.
  • the top of the shell 18 directly above the gear housing 10 is provided with an opening 84 to permit inspection and service of the drive unit.
  • the opening is nor ⁇ mally closed by a cover 85.
  • the operating means are disposed at the helm of the boat, and permits modification of the normal parallel steering of the legs 6,7, so that the legs can be imparted different steering angles.
  • the legs can be set at equal but opposite angles to the longitudinal centerline of the boat, so that the steering and yaw forces will cancel each other completely and the only result will be reduced speed.
  • the angle between the legs is maintained while their respective steering angles relative to the longitudinal centerline is changed.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of a propeller drive. The details corresponding to those in Figs. 1-3 have been given the same reference numerals as in said Figures.
  • the drive unit 8' in Fig. 4 differs from the drive unit 8 essentially only in that its leg 6 is non-rotatably screwed to the gear housing 10 and that the skeg 70 has been extended aft, so that a rudder 90 can be mounted between it and the anti- cavitation plate 69 as is schematically indicated in Fig. 4.
  • the oil pump 91 of the drive unit is also shown. The oil pump pumps oil from the lower portion of the leg serving as a sump to the gears and the bearings in the gear housing.
  • hyd ⁇ raulic cylinders (not shown) are arranged, by means of which the drive unit can be trimmed and tilted.
  • Blocking means known per se, can also be arranged which, when the drive unit is affected by a predetermined rearwardly directed force, e.g. when running a ground, are released and permit the drive unit to be tilted up.

Abstract

Transmission pour moteur marin à deux hélices (8, 9) saillant de deux ouvertures (4,5) pratiquées dans la coque (1) d'une embarcation. L'embase de l'une des hélices peut être dirigée pour diriger l'embarcation dans un sens alors que l'embase (7) de l'autre peut l'être pour diriger l'embarcation dans le sens opposé, ce qui crée des forces horizontales antagonistes qui s'annulent l'une l'autre et ce qui entraîne une réduction de la force de propulsion vers l'avant.
