Referring to FIGS. 20(a) and 20(b), the sealing device 370 ‘of the canister type thruster 300 acconding to the third ‘embodiment of the present invention may include a sealing ‘member 371 that isin contact with the canister 110 on one surface thereo! and the sealing seat 382 of the canister seat 880 on the other surface thereof in order to form. the ‘waterpmof structure, a fixing bracket 372 that maintains the ‘lose contac ofthe sealing member 371 to the ovter surface ‘of the canister 10 so as to prevent the sealing member 371 from being separated from the canister 110, sealing limiter 373 that is formed to proinide from the outer surface of the ‘canister 110 above the fixing bracket 372 in order o prevent the sealing member 371 fom being damaged by excessive ‘compression against the sealing seat 382 wien the canister 1105s vibrated in horizontal direction by an extemal ore such as waves, and a support protrusion ¥74 that i Formed to protrude outward from lower end of the outer suice of the canister 110 so as t0 suppor a lower surface of the sling member 371 10168) The sealing member 371 may be formed of an ‘elastically deformable member, one surlaee of which comes into close contact with the canister 110, the other surface of Which comes into close contact with the sealing seat 382, and which can maintain a close eontact foree even if the ‘canister 110 is vibrated or displaced in the horizontal diree~ tion by the external force. That i, even if the canister 110 relatively moves away from the sealing seat 382 due to the horizontal vibration or displacement, the compressed sealing member 371 is expanded and can maintain the eose contact force even if a distance between the canister 110 and the scaling seat 382 is slighily ineweased. Preferably, the sealing member 371 may be fomned of 1 synthetic rubber material having high durability against sea water [0165] The fixing bracket 372 may be provided suel that the sealing member 371 maintains the close contact force with respect to the outer surface ofthe canister 110 and is prevented from being separated from the canister M0. The ‘xing bracket 372 may include a coupler 372a thats fixedly ‘coupled with the outer surface of the canister 110 ands fixture 3726 that fixedly supports a part of the sealing member 371 while surrounding the part of the sealing member 371, Since a lower surface ofthe sealing member 371 is supported by the support protnasion 374, the fixture 3726 of the fixing bracket 372 partly surrounds upper and lateral surfaces ofthe sealing member 371, and thereby can be brought into close contact with and fixed to the outer surface ofthe canister 110. 10165] | Meaavshile, when the sealing member 371 is worn ‘or damaged, the sealing member 371 should be replaced, Ths, the fixing bracket 972 fixing the sealing member 371 is provided to beable to be decoupled from and coupled 10 the canister 10. The eaupler 372« ofthe fixing bracket 372 and the outer surface ofthe canister 110 may be coupled by bolkng. he fixing brcket 372 may be installed to surround the entire outer surface of the sealing member 371. How- ‘evr, to facilitate installation and maintenance, a plrality of fixing brackets 372 having a predetemnined length may be provided for the sealing member 371 at a plurality of portions [0167] The sealing limiter 373 may be provided above the Fixing bracket 372 to prevent excessive compression of the scaling member 71. The sealing limiter 473 may be formed above the fixing bracket 372 sas to protrude outward fom Aug. 3, 2017 the outer surface of the canister 110, ad be provided longer than a length which the fixing bracket 372 protrudes Irom the outer surfice of the canister 110, When the propellant ‘head 130 i in the operation mode, the canister 110 may be vibrated or displaced in horizontal and vertical directions by the external fore such as waves. At iis time, locked rods 152 enter locking members 183 to restrain the canister 110, and thus can prevent horizontal vibration or displacement of the canister 110. However, since the locked rods 152 pro- {nude horizontally lm the canister 110 to be locked on the {unk 2, horizontal vibration or displacement ofthe propel- Jnt head 130 may be transmitted to the canister 110 with no change 0168] When the canister 110 excessively Jeans 10 one rection of the inner surface of the trunk 2 due to the horizontal vibration or displacement, the sealing member 371 located ata side a which a distance between the canister 110 and the trunk 2 is relatively increased has a danger of losing a elose contact force to resist the inflow of sea Water, ‘To prevent thi, the sealing limiter 373i provided above the sealing member 371 and the fixing bracket 372 in the vieinit ofthe sealing seat 382. Thereby, even ifthe canister 110 excessively leans to one direction, the sealing limiter 373 comes into contact with the sealing seat 382 t prevent the canister 110 from being excessively vibrated or di placed in the horizontal ditection and simltancously to excessive compression of the sealing member 371 tone side ofthe canister 10, Thereby itis possible to reducea danger of damaging the seaing member 371 and increase a service life of the sealing member 371. As the sealing seat 382 is tapered, a contact surface of the sealing limiter 373 which comes into contact withthe sealing seat 382 may be tapered. The contact surfaces of the sealing limiter 373 and the sealing seat 342 are formed at the same inclination, and thereby are increased in area, Thus, itis possible to relieve a impact which the sealing limiter 373 applies to the sealing seat 382 while coming into contact wilh the sealing seat 382 [0169] The support protrusion 374 formed to protrude ‘outward from the canister to support the lower surface ofthe sealing member 371 may be provided atthe lower end ofthe ‘outer surface ofthe canister. The upper and lateral surfaces fof the sealing member 371 are fixed and supported by the fixture 9726 ofthe fbxing bracket 372, and the lower surface of the scaling member 371 is fixed and supported by the ‘support protrsion 374. Meanwhile, when the canister 110 is to be completely decoupled from the trunk 2 forthe mi ‘enance of the canister 11, he support protrusion 374 may collide with the surrounding members such as the lift units 150 or the guide units guiding upward/downward movement of the canister 110 because the support protrusion 374 is ormed to protrude outwaed from the outer surface of the canister 110. To reduce this possibility and increase el ciency of work, the support protrusion 374 may be remov= ably formed on the outer sutface ofthe canister 11, [0170] A plurality of reinforced plates 390 and 391 may be provided on an inner suriace of the canister 110 which forresponds © postions at which the fixing bracket 372 and the sealing limiter 373 are installed. Since the canister 10 is. a giant structure, even if slight vibration or displacement ‘ecu in the horizontal diretion, a great impact may oceur atthe canister 10 or the arrangement provided inside the canister 10, Therefre, to prevent the outer surface of the canister 110 from being deformed under this impact andUS 2017/0217552 Al Wl secure a bearing fore, the plurality of reinforced plates 390 ‘and 391 may be provided on the inner surface ofthe canister 110 which corresponds to the positions at which the fxing bracket 372 and the sealing limiter 373 are installed. One ‘ends of the reinforced plates 390 and 391 are in contact with the inner surface ofthe canister 110, and the other ends are supported by a partition (not shown) inside the eanister 110. Therefore, with respect to stress occurring when the sealing meniber 371 is compressed of when the sealing limiter 373 ‘comes into contact wth the sealing seat 382, the bearing fore for the outer surface of tho canister 110 can be secured, and the deformation of the canister 110 can be prevented [0171] A plurality of reinforced plates 392 may be pro- Vided on a rear surface of the sealing seat 382 which ‘correspond 10 a position at which the sealing seat 382 is brought into contact withthe sealing limiter 373. When the scaling seat 382 is brought into coatact with the seuling limiter 373 by horizontal vibration or displacement, @ great Jmpact may be applied to the sealing seat 382. In this case, to prevent damage tothe sealing seat 382, there isa need 40 secure bearing force of the sealing seat 982. Therefore, the plurality of reinforced plates 392, one ends of which ar Supported on the rear sicface of the sealing seat 382 whic! ccoresponds to a height at which the sealing seat 382 is brought into contact with the sealing imiter 373 and the ‘other ends of which are supported on the inner surface ofthe twunk 2 may be formed, 10172] When the sealing member is disposed on the lower surface of the eansteras ina typical canister type thruster, a degree of compression of the sealing, member cannot be adjusted, a possibility of the sealing member leaving the ‘canister is high, and it is very dificult co realize @ stable Waterproof structure because the canister should be aecu- rately maintained ata level when placed on the canister set. However, in the canister type thruster 300 aceording to the thind embodiment of the present invention, the sealing ‘device 370 is provided on the lower end ofthe outer surface ‘ofthe canister 10, and the canister seat 380 is provided with the tapered sealing seat 382. Thereby, the wategproostrve- ture hased on the sealing member 371 can be easly Formed with respect to the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the ‘canister 110, Further, the sealing imiter 373 is provided to prevent the excessive compression of the sealing. member 371. Thereby, itis possible to prevent the damage to the ‘cling limiter 373 and incase the service life of the sealing member 471, and to prevent excessive vibration of the ‘canister 110. The fixing bracket 272 fixing the sealing member 371 as well as the support proirusion 374 is removably provided. Thus, when the canister 110 is to be ‘completely decoupled from the trunk 2 or when the sealing ‘device 370 isto be disassembled by a need for another task, the sealing device $70 can be easily decoupled and installed ‘again, and thus the eficeney of work ean be increased. In fadition, the reinforced plates 390 snd 391 are provided on the inner surface of the canister 110, and the reinforced plates 392 ae provided on the rear surface othe sealing seat 382.
