- Such jet drives for watercraft are known, the configuration being such that at least one channel provided in the hull and through which water can flow is provided, in which a drive element is provided in the form of a motor-driven pump impeller which opens out into the hull Inlet sucks in water and ejects it through an outlet in the form of a directed jet. Since the entire drive unit is arranged within the hull, watercraft equipped with such jet drives are particularly suitable for use in very shallow waters, so that the risk of contact with the ground and thus damage to the drive screw is eliminated with normal screw drives.

This requires either the use of a drive motor with a correspondingly low output speed and thus in relation to a given output of high construction volume and weight or - in the case of using a drive motor of lower construction volume and weight with higher speed - the arrangement of a speed-reducing reduction gear between the drive motor and impeller.

- the pump with the drive motor can also be assembled to form a motor-pump unit which is removed from the drive housing, the pump outlet then being connected to the motive water jet nozzles by lines.
- the drive housing is then expediently held on the watercraft such that it can be rotated about an essentially vertical axis relative to the hull of the watercraft, so that the direction of the drive water jet with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the watercraft can be changed, and thus the directional control of the watercraft by rotating the drive housing relative to the hull of the watercraft is borrowed.

Description
Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung für Wasserfahrzeuge Beam drive device for watercraft
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung für Wasserfahrzeuge mit einem Antriebsgehäuse, welches von einem Durchlasskanal durchsetzt wird, der eine unter dem Wasserspiegel angeordnete Einlassöffnung für den Zutritt von Wasser aufweist, welches durch eine Antriebseinrichtung mit Energie angereichert und so ein Antriebs-Wasserstrahl erzeugt wird, der über eine am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Durchlasskanals vorgesehene Auslassöffnung gerichtet ins umgebende Wasser ausgestoßen wird.The invention relates to a jet drive device for watercraft with a drive housing, which is penetrated by a passage channel, which has an inlet opening arranged below the water level for the entry of water, which is enriched with energy by a drive device and thus generates a drive water jet, which is directed into the surrounding water via an outlet opening provided at the opposite end of the through-channel.
Derartige Strahlantriebe für Wasserfahrzeuge sind bekannt, wobei die Ausgestaltung so getroffen ist, dass wenigstens ein im Schiffskörper vorgesehener, von Wasser durchströmbarer Kanal vorgesehen ist, in dem ein Antriebsorgan in Form eines motorisch antreibbaren Pumpen-Laufrads vorgesehen ist, welches über den im Schiffskörper offen mündenden Einlass Wasser ansaugt und über einen Auslass in Form eines gerichteten Strahls ausstößt. Da die gesamte Antriebseinheit innerhalb des Schiffskörpers angeordnet ist, sind mit derartigen Strahlantrieben ausgerüstete Wasserfahrzeuge insbesondere für den Einsatz in sehr flachen Gewässern geeignet, so dass die bei normalen Schraubenantrieben gegebene Gefahr der Grundberührung und somit einer Beschädigung der Antriebsschraube entfällt. Durch über den Einlass des Durchlasskanals angesaugte Teile, wie Treibgut, Steine, Wasserpflanzen etc. ist allerdings eine Beschädigung des zur Erzeugung des Antriebs-Wasserstrahls vorgesehene Pumpen-Laufrads nicht von vornherein vollständig ausgeschlos- sen.Such jet drives for watercraft are known, the configuration being such that at least one channel provided in the hull and through which water can flow is provided, in which a drive element is provided in the form of a motor-driven pump impeller which opens out into the hull Inlet sucks in water and ejects it through an outlet in the form of a directed jet. Since the entire drive unit is arranged within the hull, watercraft equipped with such jet drives are particularly suitable for use in very shallow waters, so that the risk of contact with the ground and thus damage to the drive screw is eliminated with normal screw drives. Through the inlet of the Parts that are sucked in through the passage, such as flotsam, stones, water plants, etc. However, damage to the pump impeller provided for generating the drive water jet is not completely excluded from the outset.
Um eine hinreichende Vortriebsenergie für den Antrieb der Wasserfahrzeuge zu gewährleisten, muss ein Antriebs-Wasser- strom hinreichender Durchsatzmenge und möglichst großem Querschnitt erzeugt werden. Der Durchlassquerschnitt desIn order to ensure sufficient propulsion energy for the propulsion of the watercraft, a propulsion water flow of sufficient throughput quantity and the largest possible cross section must be generated. The passage cross section of the
Durchlasskanals bzw. - gegebenenfalls - der Durchlasskanäle muss deshalb im Rahmen der durch den Schiffskörper vorgegebenen räumlichen Möglichkeiten möglichst groß bemessen werden, wodurch auch das Antriebsorgan, d.h. das im Durchlass- kanal anzuordnende Pumpen-Laufrad einen entsprechendenPassage channel or - if necessary - the passage channels must therefore be dimensioned as large as possible within the scope of the spatial possibilities specified by the hull, so that the drive element, i.e. the pump impeller to be arranged in the through-channel has a corresponding one
Durchmesser aufweisen muss. Dadurch wird die Drehzahl des Pumpen-Laufrads im Hinblick auf die Gefahr des Auftretens von Kavitation in den radial äußeren Bereichen der Laufrad- Schaufeln und daraus resultierender Beschädigung be- schränkt. Das erfordert entweder den Einsatz eines Antriebsmotors mit entsprechend geringer Abtriebsdrehzahl und somit in Bezug auf eine vorgegebene Leistung hohen Bauvolumens und Gewichts oder - im Falle der Verwendung eines Antriebsmotors geringeren Bauvolumens und Gewichts mit höhe- rer Drehzahl - die Anordnung eines die Drehzahl reduzierenden Untersetzungsgetriebes zwischen Antriebsmotor und Laufrad.Diameter must have. This limits the speed of the pump impeller with regard to the risk of cavitation occurring in the radially outer regions of the impeller blades and the resulting damage. This requires either the use of a drive motor with a correspondingly low output speed and thus in relation to a given output of high construction volume and weight or - in the case of using a drive motor of lower construction volume and weight with higher speed - the arrangement of a speed-reducing reduction gear between the drive motor and impeller.
Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung für Wasserfahrzeuge zu schaffen, welche einen effizienten und wirtschaftlichen Einsatz in Wasserfahrzeugen aller Art bei verringerter Gefahr der Beschädigung des Antriebs ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig ein möglichst geringes Bauvolumen und somit Gewicht der Kompo- nenten des Antriebs angestrebt wird. Ausgehend von einer Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass in dem vom Wasser durchströmten Durchlasskanal mehrere, an eine unter Druck stehendes Treibwasser liefern- de Quelle angeschlossene und im Wesentlichen in Strömungs- richtung des Durchlasskanals gerichtete, im Bereich der Innenwandung des Durchlasskanals vorgesehene und in Umfangsrichtung des Durchlasskanals zueinander versetzte Treibwasser-Strahldusen angeordnet sind. Der Antriebs - Wasserstrahl wird also nicht durch ein mechanisches Pumpen- Laufrad, sondern nach dem Prinzip der Strahlpumpe durch mehrere durch zueinander versetzte Treibwasser-Strahldusen gerichtet ausgestoßene Treibwasserstrahlen erzeugt. Die Möglichkeit der Beschädigung anfälliger mechanischer Bau- teile des Antriebs entfällt somit. Dabei genügt ein Volumenstrom der Treibwasser-Strahldusen in der Größenordnung von 1/10 des Antriebs-Wasserstrahls, um eine hinreichende Vortriebsenergie zu erzeugen.In contrast, the invention is based on the object of providing a jet drive device for watercraft which enables efficient and economical use in all types of watercraft with a reduced risk of damage to the drive, while at the same time minimizing the construction volume and thus the weight of the components of the Drive is sought. Starting from a jet drive device of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that in the passage channel through which the water flows, a plurality of sources connected to a pressurized propellant water and essentially directed in the flow direction of the passage channel, in the region the propellant water jet nozzles which are provided on the inner wall of the through-channel and are offset from one another in the circumferential direction of the through-channel. The drive water jet is therefore not generated by a mechanical pump impeller, but according to the principle of the jet pump by several jet water jets directed by staggered propellant jet nozzles. The possibility of damaging sensitive mechanical components of the drive is therefore eliminated. A volume flow of the motive water jet nozzles in the order of 1/10 of the drive water jet is sufficient to generate sufficient propulsion energy.
Der Durchlasskanal wird zweckmäßig zumindest in einem Teilbereich in Form einer sich zum Auslass hin erweiternden Strahldüse ausgebildet, wobei dann die Treibwasser-Strahldusen vor oder im Bereich des geringsten Durchlassquer- schnitts der Strahldüse angeordnet sind.The passage channel is expediently formed at least in a partial area in the form of a jet nozzle which widens towards the outlet, the propellant water jet nozzles then being arranged in front of or in the area of the smallest passage cross section of the jet nozzle.
Dabei hat es sich als besonders zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn die Treibwasser-Strahldusen so in den Durchlasskanal gerichtet sind, dass die austretenden Treibwasserstrahlen von der unmittelbar benachbarten Wandung des Durchlasskanals leicht schräg zur Mittel-Längsachse des Durchlasskanals gerichtet sind. Damit wird eine direkte Beaufschlagung und somit Reibung zwischen den Treibwasserstrahlen und der Wandung vermieden, so dass die gesamte, in den Treibwasserstrahlen enthaltene kinetische Energie zur Erzeugung des Antriebs-Wasserstrahls genutzt wird. Dabei kann es dann von Vorteil sein, wenn die Treibwasser-Strahldusen so in den Durchlasskanal gerichtet sind, dass die austretenden Treib- Wasserstrahlen in Bezug auf parallel zur Mittel-Längsachse des Durchlasses verlaufende Strömungsrichtung mit einer in Umfangsrichtung des Durchlasskanals gerichteten Komponente schräg in den Durchlasskanal austreten. Die Gesamtheit der aus den Strahldüsen austretenden Treibwasserstrahlen bildet dann geometrisch die Hüllfläche eines Hyperboloids .It has proven to be particularly expedient if the motive water jet nozzles are directed into the passage channel in such a way that the emerging motive water jets are directed slightly obliquely from the immediately adjacent wall of the passage channel to the central longitudinal axis of the passage channel. This avoids direct exposure and thus friction between the motive water jets and the wall, so that the entire kinetic energy contained in the motive water jets is used to generate the drive water jet. It can then be advantageous if the motive water jet nozzles are directed into the passage channel in such a way that the emerging propellant Water jets with respect to the direction of flow running parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the passage with a component directed in the circumferential direction of the passage channel emerge obliquely into the passage channel. The entirety of the motive water jets emerging from the jet nozzles then geometrically forms the envelope surface of a hyperboloid.
Um einen möglichst hohen Wirkungsgrad der Übertragung der in den Treibwasserstrahlen enthaltenen Energie auf den An- triebs-Wasserstrahl zu erhalten, kann es darüber hinaus von Vorteil sein, wenn jeweils mehrere Treibwasser-Strahldusen zu in unterschiedlichen radialen Abständen von der Mittel- Längsachse des Durchlasskanals angeordneten, ihrerseits in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzten Strahldüsengruppen zusammengefasst sind.In order to obtain the highest possible efficiency of the transmission of the energy contained in the propellant water jets to the drive water jet, it can also be advantageous if several propellant water jet nozzles are arranged at different radial distances from the central longitudinal axis of the passage , in turn are grouped in the circumferential direction to each other offset jet nozzle groups.
Alternativ können anstelle solcher radialer Strahldüsengruppen auch Treibwasser-Strahldusen vorgesehen sein, welche die Form von radial zur Mittel -Längsachse des Durch- lasskanals ausgerichteten Schlitz- oder Spaltdüsen haben.Alternatively, instead of such radial jet nozzle groups, propellant water jet nozzles can also be provided, which have the shape of slot or gap nozzles oriented radially to the central longitudinal axis of the passage channel.
Dadurch ist es möglich, als Antriebseinrichtung für die Treibwasser liefernde Quelle wenigstens eine motorisch antreibbare Pumpe zu verwenden, die saugseitig mit einem unterhalb des Wasserspiegels angeordneten Einlass und druckseitig mit den Treibwasser-Strahldusen verbunden ist bzw. sind. Dabei ist es dann möglich, die Pumpe (n) als Kreiselpumpe (n) auszubilden, die aufgrund des im Vergleich zum Antriebs-Wasserstrahl geringen Volumenstroms der Treibwasser-Strahl schnellläufig ausgebildet werden kann und somit geringes Volumen und Gewicht aufweist, und direkt, d. h. ohne Zwischenschaltung eines Untersetzungsgetriebes mit einem kleinbauenden Antriebsmotor mit entsprechend hohem Drehzahlniveau koppelbar ist. Alternativ kann die Pumpe bzw. können die Pumpen auch als volumetrische Verdrängerpumpe (n) , vorzugsweise Kolbenpumpe (n) , ausgebildet werden.This makes it possible to use at least one motor-driven pump as the drive device for the source supplying motive water, which pump is or are connected on the suction side to an inlet arranged below the water level and on the pressure side to the motive water jet nozzles. It is then possible to design the pump (s) as a centrifugal pump (s) which, owing to the low volume flow compared to the drive water jet, can be formed quickly and thus has a low volume and weight, and directly, ie without Interposition of a reduction gear with a small drive motor with a correspondingly high speed level can be coupled. Alternatively, the pump or pumps can also be designed as a volumetric displacement pump (s), preferably a piston pump (s).
In beiden Fällen wird der Einlass für die Pumpe (n) zweckmäßig in Vortriebsrichtung des anzutreibenden Wasserfahrzeugs ausgerichtet, wodurch saugseitigen Strömungsverlusten im Pumpen-Einlass bei angetriebenem Wasserfahrzeug entgegen gewirkt wird.In both cases, the inlet for the pump (s) is expediently aligned in the forward direction of the watercraft to be driven, as a result of which suction-side flow losses in the pump inlet are counteracted when the watercraft is driven.
Das vom Durchlasskanal durchsetzte Antriebsgehäuse sowie die Antriebseinrichtungen können entweder - entsprechend den bekannten Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtungen - im Innern des anzutreibenden Wasserfahrzeugs angeordnet sein, wobei le- diglich die Einlassöffnung in den und die Auslassöffnung aus dem Durchlasskanal die Wandung des Rumpfs des Wasserfahrzeugs durchbrechen.The drive housing penetrated by the passage channel and the drive devices can either be arranged in the interior of the watercraft to be driven, in accordance with the known jet drive devices, only the inlet opening in and the outlet opening from the passage channel breaking through the wall of the hull of the watercraft.
Alternativ kann das vom Durchlasskanal durchsetzte An- triebsgehäuse auch gondelartig außerhalb und mit Abstand vom Rumpf des Wasserfahrzeugs an dessen Wandung angeordnet sein .Alternatively, the drive housing penetrated by the passage channel can also be arranged in a gondola-like manner outside and at a distance from the hull of the watercraft on its wall.
Die Pumpe (n) ist bzw. sind dann zweckmäßig im Antriebsge- häuse integriert eingebaut. Alternativ kann die Pumpe mit dem Antriebsmotor auch zu einer vom Antriebsgehäuse weggebaute Motor-Pumpeneinheit zusammengebaut sein, wobei der Pumpen-Auslass dann mit den Treibwasser-Strahldusen durch Leitungen verbunden ist.The pump (s) is then expediently integrated in the drive housing. Alternatively, the pump with the drive motor can also be assembled to form a motor-pump unit which is removed from the drive housing, the pump outlet then being connected to the motive water jet nozzles by lines.
Zweckmäßig wird das Antriebsgehäuse dann relativ zum Rumpf des Wasserfahrzeugs um eine im wesentlichen senkrechte Achse verdrehbar am Wasserfahrzeug gehaltert, so dass die Richtung des Antriebs-Wasserstrahls in Bezug auf die Längs- mittelachse des Wasserfahrzeugs veränderbar ist und so die Richtungssteuerung des Wasserfahrzeugs durch Verdrehung des Antriebsgehäuses relativ zum Rumpf des Wasserfahrzeugs mög- lieh ist. Gesonderte Steuereinrichtungen, wie Ruder-blätter o.dgl., können dann entfallen. Dabei ist dann eine Ausgestaltung der Antriebsvorrichtung verwirklichbar, bei welcher an der Oberseite des Antriebsgehäuses ein langge- streckter Schaft und an dessen dem Antriebsgehäuse abgewandten oberen Ende ein Antriebsmotor vorgesehen ist, der über eine den Schaft durchsetzende Welle mit der Pumpe bzw. den Pumpen verbunden ist . Die Anordnung der Antriebsvorrichtung erfolgt dann zweckmäßig dadurch, dass der Schaft verdrehbar am Rumpf, und zwar vorzugsweise am Heck des Wasserfahrzeugs, gehaltert ist. Hierdurch wird dann eine Antriebsvorrichtung nach Art der so genannten Außenbordantriebe möglich, welche die bekannten schraubengetriebenen Außenbordantriebe von Sportbooten, oder auch die als soge- nannte "Flautenschieber" bezeichneten Außenbordantriebe für Segelboote ersetzen können. Der Schaft einer solchen Antriebseinrichtung wird dann zweckmäßig in Bezug auf die Vortriebsrichtung bezüglich des Strömungswiderstands mit einem optimierten Querschnittsprofil ausgeführt.The drive housing is then expediently held on the watercraft such that it can be rotated about an essentially vertical axis relative to the hull of the watercraft, so that the direction of the drive water jet with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the watercraft can be changed, and thus the directional control of the watercraft by rotating the drive housing relative to the hull of the watercraft is borrowed. Separate control devices, such as rudder blades or the like, can then be omitted. An embodiment of the drive device can then be implemented, in which an elongated shaft is provided on the upper side of the drive housing and a drive motor is provided on the upper end facing away from the drive housing and is connected to the pump or pumps via a shaft passing through the shaft , The arrangement of the drive device is then expediently carried out in that the shaft is rotatably mounted on the hull, preferably at the stern of the watercraft. This then makes a drive device of the so-called outboard drive type possible, which can replace the known screw-driven outboard drives of sports boats, or also the outboard drives for sailboats referred to as so-called "slackers". The shaft of such a drive device is then expediently designed with an optimized cross-sectional profile in relation to the direction of advance with respect to the flow resistance.
Als motorischer Antrieb für die Pumpe (n) kann entweder ein Elektromotor oder auch ein Verbrennungsmotor vorgesehen sein .Either an electric motor or an internal combustion engine can be provided as the motor drive for the pump (s).
Die erfindungsgemäße Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung kann in vorteilhafter Weiterbildung auch für einen motorisch angetriebenen Schleppschlitten für Taucher verwendet werden. Dann empfiehlt sich für einen solchen Schleppschlitten eine Ausgestaltung, bei welcher in einem langgestreckten Gehäuse eine Motor-Pumpen-Einheit sowie eine die Antriebsenergie für den Motor liefernde Energiequelle angeordnet sind, am in Vortriebsrichtung vorn liegenden Ende des Gehäuses ein mit dem Einlass der Pumpe verbundene Einlassöffnung vorgesehen ist, im vorderen Endbereich des Gehäuses auf gegen- überliegenden Seiten jeweils eine Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, die jeweils wenigstens eine mit dem Auslass der Pumpe verbundene Treibwasser-Strahldüse aufwei- sen, und bei welcher im rückwärtigen Ende des Gehäuses vom Taucher ergreifbare Schleppgriffe mit Betätigungselementen zur unabhängigen Steuerung der von der Pumpe zu den Treibwasser-Strahldusen geförderten Treibwasserströme vorgesehen sind. Als Antriebsmotor wird für diesen Fall zweckmäßig ein Elektromotor verwendet, welcher zu seinem Betrieb keinen aus der Umgebungsatmosphäre zu entnehmenden Sauerstoff erfordert, wobei dann die Energiequelle vorzugsweise von wenigstens einem wieder aufladbaren elektrischen Akkumulator gebildet wird. Alternativ kommt auch eine Brennstoffzelle in Frage .In an advantageous development, the jet drive device according to the invention can also be used for a motor-driven towing carriage for divers. Then, for such a drag carriage, a configuration is recommended in which an engine-pump unit and an energy source supplying the drive energy for the motor are arranged in an elongated housing, an inlet opening connected to the inlet of the pump at the forward end of the housing in the driving direction a jet drive device is arranged in the front end region of the housing on opposite sides, each having at least one motive water jet nozzle connected to the outlet of the pump. sen, and in which in the rear end of the housing graspable drag handles with actuating elements are provided for independent control of the motive water flows conveyed by the pump to the propellant jet nozzles. For this case, an electric motor is expediently used as the drive motor, which does not require any oxygen to be taken from the ambient atmosphere for its operation, in which case the energy source is preferably formed by at least one rechargeable electrical accumulator. Alternatively, a fuel cell can also be used.
Insbesondere als Antrieb für Tauchboote, jedoch auch für nicht tauchende Wasserfahrzeuge eignet sich die in der er- findungsgemäßen Weise ausgebildet Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung. Dabei kann die Ausgestaltung dann mit Vorteil so getroffen werden, dass im Bereich des Hecks und/oder des Bugs jeweils wenigstens ein Antriebsgehäuse der Antriebsvorrichtung vom Rumpf vortretend angeordnet ist und dass die das unter Druck stehende Treibwasser zu den Treibwasser-Strahldusen in den Antriebsgehäusen liefernde Pumpe sowie deren Antriebsmotor im Rumpf des Wasserfahrzeugs angeordnet sind, wobei der Auslass der Pumpe mit den Treibwasser-Strahldusen über Leitungen verbunden ist .The jet drive device designed in the manner according to the invention is particularly suitable as a drive for submersible boats, but also for non-diving water vehicles. The configuration can then advantageously be made such that at least one drive housing of the drive device is arranged in front of the fuselage in the area of the stern and / or the bow and that the pump delivering the pressurized motive water to the motive water jet nozzles in the drive housings and their drive motor are arranged in the hull of the watercraft, the outlet of the pump being connected to the motive water jet nozzles via lines.
Der Einlass der Pumpe ist dann zweckmäßig mit einer im Bug des Rumpfs des Wasserfahrzeugs mündende Einlassleitung verbunden .The inlet of the pump is then expediently connected to an inlet line which opens into the bow of the hull of the watercraft.
Die Manövrierfähigkeit des Wasserfahrzeugs, insbesondere wenn es sich um ein Tauchfahrzeug handelt, kann dann dadurch sichergestellt werden, dass zumindest ein Teil der vom Rumpf vortretend angeordneten Antriebsgehäuse der Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtungen bezüglich ihrer Durchströ- mungsrichtung veränderbar zur Längsmittelachse des Rumpfs am Rumpf gehaltert sind. Wenn die erfindungsgemäße Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung als Hilfsantrieb für Segelfahrzeuge vorgesehen ist, kann sie auch am oder im Ruderblatt eines Segelbootes integriert sein, wobei die Ausgestaltung dann bevorzugt so getroffen ist, dass das Antriebsgehäuse der Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung (en) mit im Wesentlichen zum Wasserspiegel paralleler Ausrichtung am oder im Ruderblatt angeordnet ist und die im Antriebsgehäuse mündenden Treibwasser-Strahldusen mit der innerhalb des Rumpfs des zugehörigen Wasserfahrzeugs ange- ordneten, vom Antriebsmotor angetriebenen Pumpe verbunden ist bzw. sind.The maneuverability of the watercraft, in particular if it is a submersible, can then be ensured in that at least some of the drive housings of the jet propulsion devices arranged in front of the hull are held on the hull so that they can be changed with respect to their direction of flow to the longitudinal central axis of the hull. If the jet drive device according to the invention is provided as an auxiliary drive for sailing vehicles, it can also be integrated on or in the rudder blade of a sailboat, the configuration then preferably being such that the drive housing of the jet drive device (s) is essentially parallel to the water level Alignment is arranged on or in the rudder blade and the motive water jet nozzles opening into the drive housing are connected to the pump driven by the drive motor and arranged within the hull of the associated watercraft.

Die Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung 14 weist einen im Rumpf- innern verlaufenden langgestreckten Durchlasskanal 16 auf, welcher an seinem in Fahrtrichtung vorderen Ende eine im Rumpfboden, d.h. unterhalb des Wasserspiegels 18, mündende Einlassöffnung 20 aufweist, über welche Wasser in den Durchlasskanal 16 eintreten kann. Am gegenüberliegenden, d.h. in Fahrtrichtung rückwärtigen Ende, mündet der Durchlasskanal 16 - wiederum unterhalb des Wasserspiegels 18 - in einer Auslassöffnung 22 im Heck 24 des Bootsrumpfs 12.The jet propulsion device 14 has an elongated passage channel 16 which runs in the interior of the fuselage and which at its front end in the direction of travel has an opening in the fuselage floor, i.e. below the water level 18, has an opening 20, through which water can enter the passage 16. On the opposite, i.e. in the direction of the rear end, the passage channel 16 - again below the water level 18 - opens into an outlet opening 22 in the stern 24 of the hull 12.
Zur Erzeugung eines den Vortrieb des Boots bewirkenden, aus der Auslassöffnung 22 ausgestoßenen Wasserstrahls ist im mittleren Bereich des Durchlasskanals 16 eine Antriebseinrichtung vorgesehen, welche eine sich zunächst im Quer- schnitt verjüngende und an den Durchtrittsöffnungen desIn order to generate a water jet that propels the boat and is expelled from the outlet opening 22, a drive device is provided in the central region of the passage channel 16, which has a cross-sectional tapering and at the passage openings of the
Wasser wieder kontinuierlich erweiternde Strahldüse 26 aufweist, vor deren eintrittsseitigem Bereich in der Nähe der Düsenwandung in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt eine Anzahl von Treibwasser-Strahldusen 28 münden, die im We- sentlichen in Wasser-Durchtrittsöffnung gerichtet und an außerhalb der Wandung 30 des Durchlasskanals vorgesehene Leitungen 32 angeschlossen sind.Water again continuously expanding jet nozzle 26, in front of the inlet-side area near the nozzle wall in the circumferential direction offset from each other a number of driving water jet nozzles 28 open, which are directed essentially into the water passage opening and to lines provided outside the wall 30 of the passage channel 32 are connected.
Die genaue Anordnung und Ausrichtung der Frischwasser- Strahldüsen 28 in Bezug auf die Strahldüse 26 wird nachstehend noch in Verbindung mit den weiteren Ausführungsbei- spielen erläutert .The exact arrangement and orientation of the fresh water jet nozzles 28 with respect to the jet nozzle 26 is explained below in connection with the further exemplary embodiments.
Die Ringleitung 32 werden von einer - nur schematisch dar- gestellten - Pumpe 36, beispielsweise einer schnelllaufenden Kreiselpumpe mit unter erhöhtem Druck stehendem Treibwasser gespeist, welches im dargestellten Fall über eine vor der Einlassöffnung 20 im Schiffsrumpf mündenden Saugleitung 38 angesaugt wird.The ring line 32 is fed by a pump 36, which is only shown schematically, for example a high-speed centrifugal pump, with motive water under increased pressure, which in the case shown is supplied by a pump is sucked in before the inlet opening 20 in the ship's hull suction line 38.
Die Pumpe 36 ist direkt mit einem - ebenfalls nur schema- tisch dargestellten - Motor 40 gekoppelt, dessen Abriebsdrehzahl somit der Antriebsdrehzahl der Pumpe 36 entspricht. Als Motor 40 kann entweder ein Verbrennungsmotor oder ein von elektrischer Energie aus - nicht gezeigten - elektrischen Akkumulatoren oder Brennstoffzellen gespeister Elektromotor Verwendung finden.The pump 36 is directly coupled to a motor 40, also shown only schematically, whose abrasion speed thus corresponds to the drive speed of the pump 36. Either an internal combustion engine or an electric motor powered by electrical energy - not shown - electric batteries or fuel cells can be used as the motor 40.
In Figur 2a ist ein als Außenbordantrieb verwendbares Aus- führungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung 114 schematisch gezeigt. Der innerhalb eines Antriebsgehäuses 130 vorgesehene Durchlasskanal 116 ist praktisch als Ganzes nach Art einer Strahldüse 126 geformt und weist wiederum Treibwasser-Strahldusen 128 auf, welche von einer Kreiselpumpe 136 gespeist werden und so in den von der Strahldüse 126 gebildeten Durchlasskanal 116 ge- richtet sind, dass die austretenden Treibwasserstrahlen von der unmittelbar benachbarten Wandung des Durchlasskanals weg leicht schräg zu dessen Mittellängsachse und zusätzlich mit einer leichten Komponente in Umfangsrichtung gerichtet austreten. Das Antriebsgehäuse 130 ist über einen senkrech- ten Schaft 142 mit einer am oberen Ende des Schafts vorgesehenen, von der Kreiselpumpe 136 mit angeflanschtem Motor 140 gebildeten Motor-Pumpen-Einheit starr verbunden. Der Abtrieb des Motors 140 ist also mit dem Laufrad der Kreiselpumpe 136 verbunden, welche über eine an der Oberseite des Antriebsgehäuses 130 mündende und im Mündungsbereich in Antriebsrichtung weisende Saugleitung 144 Wasser ansaugt und über eine Leitung 138 zu den Treibwasser-Strahldusen 128 fördert.FIG. 2a schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of a jet drive device 114 according to the invention that can be used as an outboard drive. The passage channel 116 provided within a drive housing 130 is practically shaped as a whole in the manner of a jet nozzle 126 and in turn has propellant water jet nozzles 128, which are fed by a centrifugal pump 136 and are thus directed into the passage channel 116 formed by the jet nozzle 126, that the emerging motive water jets emerge from the immediately adjacent wall of the through-channel slightly obliquely to its central longitudinal axis and additionally with a slight component directed in the circumferential direction. The drive housing 130 is rigidly connected via a vertical shaft 142 to a motor-pump unit provided at the upper end of the shaft and formed by the centrifugal pump 136 with a flanged motor 140. The output of the motor 140 is thus connected to the impeller of the centrifugal pump 136, which draws in water via a suction line 144 which opens at the top of the drive housing 130 and points in the opening area in the drive direction and conveys it via a line 138 to the motive water jet nozzles 128.
Die Antriebsvorrichtung 114 wird in der bestimmungsgemäßen Arbeitsstellung so am Heck eines anzutreibenden Boots angeordnet, dass das Antriebsgehäuse 130 und ein Teil des Schafts 142 unterhalb des Wasserspiegels 118 steht. Beim Antrieb der Kreiselpumpe 136 durch den Motor 140 wird also über die Einlassleitung 144 Wasser angesaugt, im Druck erhöht und über die Treibwasser-Strahldusen 128 in den Durch- lasskanal 116 ausgestoßen. Von den aus den Treibwasser- Strahldüsen 128 gerichtet austretenden Treibwasserstrahlen wird Energie auf das im Durchlasskanal 116 befindliche Wasser übertragen und es entsteht ein - in der Zeichnung nach rechts gerichteter - Antriebs-Wasserstrahl, welcher als Reaktion, den Rumpf des mit der Strahl -Antriebsvorrichtung 114 versehenen Boots in Vortriebsrichtung, d.h. in der Zeichnung nach links, beschleunigt. Dabei empfiehlt es sich dann, die Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung 114 - in Übereinstimmung mit den bekannten Außenbord-Antrieben - um die senk- rechte Achse verdrehbar am Heck des Bootsrumpfs zu haltern, um so den ins umgebende Wasser austretenden Antriebs-Wasserstrahl in seiner Ausrichtung zum Bootsrumpf verstellen und so die Richtungssteuerung des Boots über eine Ver- schwenkung der Vorrichtung 114 vornehmen zu können. Zu die- sem Zweck ist die Kreiselpumpe 136 innerhalb eines im Querschnitt zylindrischen oberen Abschnitts des Schafts 142 angeordnet, welcher verdrehbar in einer am Heck des angetriebenen Bootes befestigten Manschette 143 gehaltert ist. Eine hebelartige, vom Motor 140 vorstehende Handhabe 146 erlaubt die Verdrehung der Motor-Pumpen-Einheit und somit der gesamten Antriebsvorrichtung 114. Die verdrehbare Lagerung des oberen zylinderischen Abschnitts des Schafts 142 in der Manschette 143 ist in Figur 2b veranschaulicht.The drive device 114 is arranged in the intended working position on the stern of a boat to be driven such that the drive housing 130 and part of the Shaft 142 is below the water level 118. When the centrifugal pump 136 is driven by the motor 140, water is sucked in via the inlet line 144, the pressure is increased and it is expelled into the passage duct 116 via the motive water jet nozzles 128. Energy is transferred from the motive water jets directed out of the motive water jet nozzles 128 to the water located in the passage duct 116 and a propulsion water jet arises - directed to the right in the drawing - which, as a reaction, forms the fuselage of the jet propulsion device 114 provided boots accelerated in the direction of advance, ie to the left in the drawing. It is then advisable to hold the jet drive device 114 - in accordance with the known outboard drives - rotatable about the vertical axis at the stern of the boat hull so that the drive water jet emerging into the surrounding water is oriented in relation to the boat hull adjust and thus be able to control the direction of the boat by pivoting the device 114. For this purpose, the centrifugal pump 136 is arranged within an upper section of the shaft 142 which is cylindrical in cross section and which is rotatably held in a sleeve 143 fastened to the stern of the driven boat. A lever-like handle 146 protruding from the motor 140 allows the motor-pump unit and thus the entire drive device 114 to be rotated. The rotatable mounting of the upper cylindrical section of the shaft 142 in the sleeve 143 is illustrated in FIG. 2b.
Durch strömungsgünstige Profilierung des Schafts 142 in der in Figur 2c veranschaulichten Weise im unteren Bereich des Schafts wird dabei der Widerstand des unterhalb des Wasserspiegels 118 befindlichen Teils des Schafts 142 verringert. Es ist klar, dass die Strahl-Antriebsvorrichtung 114 so am Heck eines Bootsrumpfs angeordnet werden muss, dass der zuströmseitige Einlass der Strahldüse 126 unter- t to o o oBy aerodynamically profiling the shaft 142 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2c in the lower region of the shaft, the resistance of the part of the shaft 142 located below the water level 118 is reduced. It is clear that the jet drive device 114 must be arranged at the stern of a boat hull in such a way that the inflow-side inlet of the jet nozzle 126 is underneath. t to ooo

Im Rumpf selbst ist eine Motor-Pumpen-Einheit 168 angeordnet, welche - bis auf die naturgemäß höhere erforderliche Antriebs- und Pumpleistung - der vorstehend in Verbindung mit dem Tauchschlitten 48 beschriebenen Motor-Pumpen-Einheit 136, 140 entsprechen möge. Das von der Pumpe der Motor-Pumpen-Einheit 168 über die Einlassleitung 144 angesaugte Wasser wird von der Pumpe unter erhöhtem Druck über die strichpunktierten Leitungen 170 zu den Treibwasser-Strahldusen 128 in die Strahldüsen 126 gefördert. Wenn die Antriebsgehäuse 130 mit den Strahldüsen 126 insgesamt oder zum Teil bezüglich ihrer Durchströmungsrichtung relativ zur Längsmittelachse des Rumpfs 166 des Tauchboots 164 veränderlich am Rumpf gehaltert sind, können die Strahldüsen gleichzeitig zur Richtungssteuerung und des Tauchboots dienen.Submersible boat 164 by a plurality of jet propulsion devices designed in the manner according to the invention. The submersible 164 is provided with a plurality of drive housings 130 projecting from the outside of its hull 166 with jet nozzles 126, in the case shown five such drive housings, of which two on the opposite side in the area of the bow and three from the hull in the area of the stern are arranged in front. A motor-pump unit 168 is arranged in the fuselage which, apart from the naturally higher drive and pumping power required, may correspond to the motor-pump unit 136, 140 described above in connection with the immersion sled 48. The water drawn in by the pump of the motor-pump unit 168 via the inlet line 144 is conveyed by the pump under increased pressure via the dash-dotted lines 170 to the motive water jet nozzles 128 into the jet nozzles 126. If the drive housings 130 with the jet nozzles 126 are held on the hull so as to be variable or all of their flow direction relative to the longitudinal central axis of the hull 166 of the submersible 164, the jet nozzles can simultaneously serve for directional control and the submersible.
