Abstract

Screw-failure accidents in small ships frequently occur in coastal waters. In particular, vessels' propulsion systems are frequently coiled due to objects such as fish-nets and ropes that float on the sea. The failure of the ship's propulsion system can cause primary accidents such as ship operation delays and drifting due to loss of power; furthermore, the possibility of secondary accidents such as those involving operators in the underwater removal of rope stuck in a propeller. Ships that do not have the proper tools to solve these problems must be either lifted onto land to be repaired or divers must dive directly under the ship to solve the problem. Accordingly, some small vessels have been equipped with rope-cutter devices on the propeller shaft to prevent ship propeller system accidents in recent years; however, they are not being applied efficiently due to the cost and time of installation. To solve these problems, this study develops an underwater rope-cutter device and controller for the removal of propeller and shaft foreign material in small vessels. This device has simple structures that use the principle of a saw. Meteor gears and crank pins were used for the straight-line rotation of saw blades of the underwater rope-cutters to allow for long strokes. Furthermore, the underwater rope-cutting machines can be operated by being connected to the ship battery. The user, a non-professional, can ensure convenience and stability by applying reverse current prevention and a speed control circuit so that it can be used more conveniently and safely.

연안 해역에서 소형 선박의 프로펠러 고장으로 인한 사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 특히, 해상부유물(폐그물 및 로프 등)에 의하여 선박 프로펠러가 감기는 사고가 빈번히 일어나고 있다. 선박 프로펠러 감김 사고는 동력 상실로 인한 선박의 운항 지연 및 표류로 인한 1차 사고와 프로펠러에 감긴 로프을 제거하기 위한 잠수 작업등으로 인한 2차 사고의 우려가 있다. 이러한 빈번한 프로펠러 감김 사고에도 불구하고 문제를 해결할만한 적절한 도구가 없어 선박을 육상으로 인양하여 수리하거나, 잠수부가 직접 선박 아래로 잠수하여 문제를 해결하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라, 최근 선박 프로펠러 감김 사고를 예방하기 위해 프로펠러 샤프트에 로프절단장치를 일부 소형선박에 장착하고 있으나 비교적 높은 설치비용 및 시간이 으로 인하여 원활하게 적용되어지지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 기계톱 원리를 이용한 간단한 구조를 가진 수중절단기 기구 설계 및 제어기 개발을 수행하였다. 수중절단기의 톱날은 직선왕복동작을 위해 유성기어와 크랭크핀을 사용함으로써 긴 행정을 가질 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 수중절단기는 소형 선박에 비치되어있는 배터리를 이용하여 작동시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 비전문가인 사용자가 보다 편리하고 안전하게 사용할 수 있도록 역전류 방지 및 속도제어회로를 적용하여 편리성 및 안정성을 확보하였다.
