METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING AND ALIGNMENT OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT OF A SHIP

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for continuous and automatic monitoring and alignment of propeller shaft (A) installed in a plurality of bearings of a ship when the hull is deformed during operation. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of measuring a variable indicative of the state of stress in the axis A and determining how the bearing L (offset) is modified taking into account the measured variables and the preset conditions, , And adjusting each offset by the calculated deformation. The apparatus according to the invention comprises a measuring device M for monitoring a variable indicative of the state of stress in the axis A and a measuring device M for receiving a value from the measuring device M and for determining how the bearing (S) that receives offset variations from the computer (D), and an actuator that is operated by the control device and adjusts each offset by a calculated variable have.
