[0023] A-electric propeller body, B-rotating seat, C-hull. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] A rotating seat control outboard engine device, comprising a rotating seat B installed on a hull C, an electric propeller body A and a controller; further comprising a bracket body 1, a lifting mechanism for lifting a tube rack and a rotating device for rotating the tube rack; the lower part of the outer shell cover 26 of the electric propeller body A is fixedly connected with the tube rack 23, and the bottom of the tube rack 23 is installed with an underwater propulsion mechanism; the rotating device is installed on the bracket body 1; the rotating device is provided with an angle sensor I 5 for detecting the rotating angle of the tube rack; the bracket body 1 is hollow, and the rotating device is installed in the bracket body 1 through a support frame.

[0025] The pipe frame 23 is fixedly connected with the underwater propulsion mechanism through the bracket body 1 and can slide and rotate relative to the bracket body 1. The bracket body 1 is connected with the ship body through the wall hanging 2. The lifting mechanism comprises a speed reducer motor II 12 and a lifting screw 10. The speed reducer motor II 12 is installed in the shell cover and is used to drive the lifting screw 10 to rotate. The upper end of the lifting screw 10 is connected with the rotating shaft of the speed reducer motor II 12 through the connector 11, and the lower end is rotatably connected with the underwater propulsion mechanism through the bearing I 6. The lifting screw 10 is connected with the bracket body 1 through the lifting nut 7. The rotating shaft body 24 of the rotating seat B is provided with an angle sensor II 18. The angle sensor I 5, the angle sensor II 18 and the speed reducer motor II 12 are connected with the controller circuit to form a control system. The shell cover is provided with a controller (circuit).

[0026] The wall hanging 2 is located on both sides of the bracket body 1. The bracket body 1 is installed between the inner walls of the front ends of the two wall hangings 2. The bottom of the wall hanging 2 is provided with a clamping seat, and the wall hanging 2 is fixed on the transom through the clamping seat and the positioning bolt. A tension spring fixing pin 21 is arranged between the rear ends of the two wall hangings 2. A tension spring 13 is arranged between the bracket body 1 and the tension spring fixing pin 21. One end of the tension spring 13 is connected with the bracket body 1, and the other end is connected with the tension spring fixing pin 21. Preferably, two tension springs 13 are arranged to increase the stability of the tension spring force.

[0027] The bracket body 1 is movably connected with the wall hanging 2, for example, the bracket body 1 is fixed on the front end of the wall hanging 2 by a pin. When the ship encounters an obstacle during sailing, the obstacle will push the electric propeller body A in the opposite direction of the ship's forward movement. The electric propeller body A rotates around the pin, and the tension spring 13 absorbs the push and pull force, thereby protecting the underwater propulsion mechanism from being damaged by hard obstacles.

[0028] On the basis of the above basic structure, according to different installation forms of the rotating device, there are several different structural embodiments. Embodiment 1:

[0029] A rotating seat control outboard engine device of the embodiment is shown in Figures 1-3 The rotating device comprises a speed reducer motor I 3, a large synchronous wheel 8 and a small synchronous wheel 4. The speed reducer motor I 3, the large synchronous wheel 8 and the small synchronous wheel 4 are all installed on the support frame. The rotating shaft of the speed reducer motor I 3 is fixedly connected with the small synchronous wheel 4. The small synchronous wheel 4 is connected with the large synchronous wheel 8 through a synchronous belt 9. The small synchronous wheel 4 is provided with an angle sensor I 5. The middle part of the large synchronous wheel 8 is provided with a through hole for the pipe frame to pass through. The pipe frame is fixedly connected with the large synchronous wheel 8. The synchronous belt 9 is provided with a tension pulley 20 for adjusting the tightness of the synchronous belt 9.

[0030] The control button for controlling the electric propeller body A is installed on the side wall of the rotating seat B, and the control button is connected with the controller circuit. The control button is installed outside the control circuit box 19.

[0031] The bearing II is installed inside the base 25 of the rotating seat B. The return torsion spring 15 is sleeved on the bearing II. The fixed ring 16 is fixed above the return torsion spring 15. The fixed ring 16 and the return torsion spring 15 are installed on the base through the return torsion spring fixing pin 17.

[0032] In the use of the rotating seat control outboard engine device of the embodiment 1, the control button is used to start the work of the reduction motor II 12. The reduction motor II 12 rotates to drive the lifting screw 10 to rotate. The lifting screw 10 is connected in series with the lifting nut 7 on the bracket body 1. The lifting nut 7 is fixed on the bracket body 1. The bracket body 1 is installed on the ship. The reduction motor II 12, the lifting screw 10 and the lifting nut 7 constitute a screw rod mechanism. When the lifting screw 10 rotates, it can move up and down relative to the bracket body 1, thereby driving the electric propeller body A to move up and down in the hollow inside of the bracket body 1. When a person sits on the rotating seat B and twists the rotating seat B, the controller receives the signal of the angle sensor II 18, starts the reduction motor I 3, drives the small synchronous wheel 4 to rotate, and drives the large synchronous wheel 8 to rotate through the synchronous belt 9. The large synchronous wheel 8 drives the pipe rack 23 to rotate, so that the rotation direction of the underwater propulsion mechanism is consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating seat B. The angle sensor I 5 feeds back the angle of the rotation of the pipe rack 23, so as to ensure that the rotation angle of the propulsion mechanism is consistent with the rotation angle of the rotating seat B. Embodiment 2:

[0033] The rotating seat control outboard engine device of the embodiment is basically the same as the structure and principle of the embodiment 1, and the difference is that the rotating device includes the reduction motor I 3, the large gear and the small gear. The large gear is engaged with the small gear. The large gear is provided with a through hole for the pipe rack to pass through in the middle part. The pipe rack is fixedly connected with the large gear. The rotation shaft of the reduction motor I 3 is fixedly connected with the small gear or the large gear. The installation position of the angle sensor I 5 is also different. This depends on the size of the propeller power. The small power propeller can drive the small gear 4 through the large gear 8. The shaft of the angle sensor I 5 can be installed on the large gear. The large power propeller can drive the large gear 8 through the small gear 4. The shaft of the angle sensor I 5 can be connected on the small gear 4.

[0034] In the operation of the rotating seat control outboard motor device of this embodiment 2, taking the fixed connection between the shaft of the reduction motor I3 and the pinion as an example, the reduction motor II12 is started by the control button. The rotation of the reduction motor II12 drives the lifting screw 10 to rotate. The lifting screw 10 is connected in series with the bracket body 1 through the lifting nut 7, which is fixed to the bracket body 1. The bracket body 1 is installed on the boat. The reduction motor II12, the lifting screw 10, and the lifting nut 7 constitute a screw mechanism. When the lifting screw 10 rotates, it can move up and down relative to the bracket body 1, thereby driving the electric propulsion unit A to move up and down inside the hollow interior of the bracket body 1. When a person sits on the rotating seat B and twists the rotating seat B, the controller receives the signal from the angle sensor II18 and starts the reduction motor I3 to drive the pinion to rotate. The pinion drives the large gear to rotate, and the large gear drives the tube frame 23 to rotate, so that the rotation direction of the underwater propulsion mechanism is consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating seat B. The angle sensor I5 provides feedback on the rotation angle of the tube frame 23, ensuring that the rotation angle of the propulsion mechanism is consistent with the rotation angle of the rotating seat B.

[0035] As a variation of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, a handle pin 22 is provided between the two wall-mounted units 2 to facilitate picking up and installing.

[0036] The controller in this embodiment may be a servo motor integrated circuit.

[0037] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. The above description is a further detailed explanation of this utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to the descriptions of the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
