steueranordnung for a ship with wasserstrahlantrieb

摘要

The present invention relates to a steering arrangement for ships propelled by water jet, comprising a steering device ( 6 ) that is pivotal about an essentially vertical shaft ( 5 ) having a first center line (C 1 ), at least one hydraulic cylinder ( 2; 3 ) for turning said steering device ( 6 ), which hydraulic cylinder is directly or indirectly articulately connected to the ship's body at one of its ends ( 2 B; 3 B), a turning device ( 4 ) connected to said shaft ( 5 ), for attachment to a second end ( 2 A; 3 A) of said hydraulic cylinder at a distance from said shaft ( 5 ), a reversing device ( 7 ) arranged in connection with said steering device ( 6 ) about an essentially horizontal shaft ( 12 ), an additional hydraulic cylinder ( 9 ) arranged to act on the reversing device ( 7 ), the additional hydraulic cylinder ( 9 ) following the movement of the steering device ( 6 ), characterized in that all the hydraulic cylinders ( 2,3,9 ) are arranged within a sheltered space ( 1 ) located above the extension of said vertical shaft ( 5 ), which space ( 1 ) is accessible for maintenance from the inside of the ship, and in that the arranging of said hydraulic cylinder ( 9 ) at the turning device ( 4 ) in relation to the steering device ( 6 ) is arranged such that the relative position of the reversing device ( 7 ) is uninfluenced by the relative position of the steering device ( 6 ).
