The invention belongs to the field of autonomous
underwater vehicle equipment, discloses a flow guiding shield used for an autonomous
underwater vehicle and particularly relates to the flow guiding shield used in a propelling
system of the autonomous
underwater vehicle. A novel practical electrically-driven underwater thruster the application number of which is 200620055186.1 is disclosed in the prior art, and according to the underwater thruster, an axial section of the flow guiding shield is designed in a wing shape, so that the purposes of high efficiency and low
power consumption are achieved, but which type of wings should be adopted is not specifically indicated in the prior art, and the defects of poor structural universality and a limited application range still exist. According tothe flow guiding shield, a wing type NACA6721 and a 3D printing technology are adopted for designing the flow guiding shield which is simple in structure and wide in application range, the
inflow velocity is increased, the propelling force of propellers is enhanced, the efficiency of the propelling
system is improved, vibration of the
tail part of the propelling
system is reduced, and a great protection function is achieved on the propellers. The flow guiding shield is structurally characterized in that the axial section of an outer shield body is the wing type NACA6721, the
angle of attack is 10 degrees, and by adopting a
spoke-type structure, not only is the intensity ensured, but also the flow guiding shield is convenient to disassemble and assemble.
