ANTI-FOULING PROPULSION APPARATUS FOR VESSEL

摘要

PURPOSE: An anti-fouling propulsion device for a ship is provided to drive a vibrator using the resonant frequency of a propeller and to efficiently separate fouling from a surface of a propeller. CONSTITUTION: An anti-fouling propulsion device for a ship comprises a propeller(120), a cap(140), a driving shaft(160), and a vibration generator(180). The propeller has a hub(135) and one or more blades(130). The cap is combined in a stern of the hub. The driving shaft transfers the power, generated by an engine, to the propeller. The vibration generator is installed in the shafting including driving shaft, hub, and cap. The vibration generator separates fouling from the surface of the propeller.
