  • Patent number: 11661162
    Abstract: A ship propulsion system provides a first power transmission device that transmits power from an internal combustion engine to a propeller, a second power transmission device that transmits power from an electric motor to a propeller and that is mounted to the hull so as to be able to turn up and down independently from the first power transmission device, an actuator for causing the second power transmission device to turn up and down, and a control device. The control device is configured so as to be able to select a first drive mode in which the internal combustion engine is driven and the electric motor is not driven, and a second drive mode in which the internal combustion engine is not driven and the electric motor is driven. When the first drive mode is selected, the actuator is operated so that the second power transmission device turns up.

  • Publication number: 20190085937
    Abstract: A vibration reduction device (5) including: a counterweight (6) provided to a crankshaft (14) of a Stirling engine (1); and an electric balancer (7) being attached to a crankcase (15) and including a balance weight (73) rotated by an electric motor (74). An inertial force of the counterweight (6) is set to approximately a half of a combined inertial force of pistons (12, 13). Inertial force of balance weight×L2=½×combined inertial force of pistons×L1 is satisfied when a mass of the balance weight is set, where L1 denotes a distance between a vibration reduction target position and a rotation center (O1) of the crankshaft (14), and L2 denotes a distance between the vibration reduction target position and a rotation center (O2) of the balance weight (73).

  • Publication number: 20150251742
    Abstract: In a marine gear device transmitting a rotary power of a main engine mounted to a marine vessel to a propeller aims at reducing an operation force required for a manual operation of a forward and reverse travel operation tool which switches and operates a forward and reverse travel switching mechanism, and satisfying a fail-safe point. The marine gear device is provided with an input shaft to which a rotary power of a main engine is input, the forward and reverse travel switching mechanism which switches the rotary power of the input shaft to a forward travel output, a neutral output or a reverse travel output, an operating part which switches and actuates the forward and reverse travel switching mechanism to a forward travel state, a neutral state or a reverse travel state on the basis of a rotary motion, and an electric actuator which rotates the operating part in correspondence to an operation of the forward and reverse travel operation tool.

  • Patent number: 8882550
    Abstract: A ship propulsion device is configured so that a control device operates an engine at a first engine speed when a clutch is in a disengaged state; so that, based on the input of an input device, the control device changes the state of the clutch from the disengaged state to a partially engaged state and operates the engine at a second engine speed that is higher than the first engine speed; so that, based on the detection of a rotational speed detection device, the control device operates the engine at an engine speed that is lower than the second engine speed; and so that, based on the input of an input device, the control device changes the state of the clutch from the partially engaged state to an engaged state.
