  • Patent number: 11772763
    Abstract: A propeller includes a propeller shaft, a plurality of first blades, and a plurality of second blades. The first blades are connected to the outer peripheral surface of the propeller shaft so as to be rotated synchronously with the propeller shaft. The second blades are connected to the outer peripheral surface of the propeller shaft, so that they are rotated in the same direction as the first blades. The second blades are located in front of the first blades and correspond to the first blades in a one-to-one manner. The size of the second blades is smaller than the size of the first blades, and the rotation direction of the second blades is the same as the rotation direction of the first blades. Thereby, the propeller of the present invention can improve the operation efficiency of the boat at high speed without increasing the size of the first blades.

  • Publication number: 20200331574
    Abstract: A boat propeller includes a gear box, an impeller, a stream-guiding ring, and a stream-shaping nozzle. The gear box has a casing and a transmission shaft partially received in the casing. The impeller has an impeller shaft and vanes. The impeller shaft has a hollow columnar outer shaft housing and a hollow columnar inner shaft housing. The inner and outer shaft housings are connected using a plurality of rib portions. The inner shaft housing is further connected to the transmission shaft of the gear box. The vanes are integrated formed on an outer peripheral surface of the outer shaft. The stream-guiding ring is assembled to the casing of the gear box to house the impeller. The stream-shaping nozzle is connected to a rear end of the stream-guiding ring for providing stream-shaping effects. Thereby, the boat propeller has its water inlet diameter maximized, which helps to improve propulsive efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20110111652
    Abstract: A marine propelling system for a boat includes a guide shell having a guideway for guiding a water flow to pass therethrough; a propelling member having a main body and a propeller; a vortex guide member mounted to an outlet of the main body and extending backward; a horizontally steering ring sleeved onto a peripheral edge of a front section of the vortex guide member, a vertically steering ring sleeved onto a peripheral edge of a rear section of the vortex guide member; and an inverted guide hood mounted to a rear side of the vortex guide member. When the propeller is rotated, a water flow enters through the guideway and is then pressurized by the propeller to become a vortex flow ejected outward for providing the boat with a propulsive force. In this way, marine propelling system can greatly enhance the steering maneuverability and the safety of the boat.
