Surfboard Steering Device

Abstract

A surfboard steering device is applicable to installation on a surfboard which is provided with a surfboard body and a power unit which can push the surfboard body forward. The surfboard steering device comprises a steering unit, a transmission unit and a driving unit, wherein the steering unit can control the heading direction of the surfboard body; the driving unit comprises a base fixedly arranged on the surfboard body, a linkage disk which is arranged inside the base in a pivoted mode in a driving axial direction, a flexible driving arm which is fixedly installed on the linkage disk in a limited mode in the driving axial direction and extends in the axial direction of the flexible driving arm to be exposed out of the base, and a handle fixedly is installed at the tail end of the driving arm, wherein the driving arm penetrates through the base and cannot turn around substantially in the axial direction of the flexible driving arm; the transmission unit is arranged on the linkage disk and can drive the steering unit for steering by means of rotation of the linkage disk. According to the surfboard steering device, steering of the surfboard body can be controlled as long as the handle is rotated in the axial direction of the driving arm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering device, in particular to a surfboard steering device installed on a powered surfboard. Background technique [0002] refer to figure 1 , which is a powered surfboard with a steering device disclosed in the U.S. Patent Publication No. US2001 / 0042498, has a board body 11, a water jet pump 12, a steering device 13 and a drive unit 14. The board body 11 has a head 111 and a tail 112 opposite to each other. [0003] The water jet pump 12 is installed below the board tail 112 and can push the board body 11 forward, and has a water outlet (not shown) that opens toward the board tail 112 . [0004] The steering device 13 has a diversion nozzle 131 pivotally sleeved on the water outlet, and a guide wire (not shown) extending from the tail 112 toward the head 111 and pivotally connected to the diversion nozzle 131 at the end. . [0005] The driving unit 14 includes a base 141 fixed on the head 111, a link 143 pivotally ins...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the driving control arm 144 needs to have a certain length in order to facilitate the operator to hold it. When the operator turns the driving control arm 144 to turn, the body will follow the end of the driving control arm 144 on the board body 11. The large swing on the top is easy to affect the balance of the operator's center of gravity, and has the disadvantage of insufficient maneuverability
