Embodiment Construction

[0040] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0041] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing the appearance structure of a ship 100 including an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) which is an embodiment of the propeller control device of the present invention.

[0042] The ship 100 is provided with a hull 10, an outboard motor 20 as a propeller mounted on a stern 10a of the hull 10, an orientation sensor 31 installed on the hull 10, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver 32, and a display composed of a liquid crystal display device and the like. Part 33, shift-throttle operating device 34, steering device 35, and pitch switch 36.

[0043] The azimuth sensor 31 detects the azimuth to which the bow of the ship body 10 is facing, and outputs a signal indicating the azimuth.

[0044] The GPS receiver 32 detects the position of the hull 10 based on signals received from GPS satellites, and outputs a signal indicatin...

Abstract

Provided is a propulsion unit control device for a ship, whereby safe navigation can be supported while reducing the burden on a ship operator by automatically controlling navigation of the ship whenthe ship is in specific waters in which navigation is limited or when the ship is near the specific waters. When it is determined that a ship hull 10 is in specific waters in a state in which an ECU 21 of an outboard motor 20 is controlling the speed and rotation direction of a propeller 27 and the orientation of the outboard motor 20 on the basis of a signal inputted from an operating part (shift/throttle operation device 34, steering device 35, trim switch 36), a transition is made to automatic piloting in which the speed and rotation direction of the propeller 27 and the orientation of theoutboard motor 20 are controlled without operation of the operating part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device for a propeller of a ship. Background technique [0002] As a ship, a ship capable of switching between navigation by manual operation and navigation by an autopilot has been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 to 3). [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-341592 [0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-86668 [0007] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-290196 [0008] The problem to be solved by the invention [0009] The autopilot of a ship is a device that automatically navigates toward a destination when the destination is set. However, during navigation by the autopilot, it is not always possible to advance on an efficient route. In addition, there are also cases where the destination is sailed without being clearly determined, and in such a case, it is difficult to use the au...
