[0003] The power control of existing gasoline-powered outboard motor ships still largely relies on human operation, which can no longer meet the needs for precision and efficiency as the shipbuilding industry develops.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic controller for gasoline-powered marine outboard motors to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide an automatic controller for a gasoline-powered boat outboard motor, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic controller for a gasoline-powered marine outboard motor includes an adapter plate. A remote control box is fixedly connected to one end of the adapter plate, and multiple evenly distributed connecting posts are fixedly connected to the other end of the adapter plate. A stator fixing plate is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting post, and a sealing gasket is provided at the end of the adapter plate near the stator fixing plate. A motor is fixedly connected to the end of the stator fixing plate near the remote control box, and a transmission component is fixedly connected to the other end of the motor. The other end of the transmission component passes through the adapter plate and is fixedly connected to the remote control box. A switch bracket is fixedly connected to the other end of the stator fixing plate, and a push-button switch is provided on the switch bracket. A lever bracket is fixedly connected to the end of the stator fixing plate away from the remote control box, and a switch lever is rotatably connected to the lever bracket via a pin.

A pressing post is fixedly connected to the other end of the switch lever, and the pressing post is fitted to the push-button switch.
[0008] A further technical solution involves using a cam structure design at a certain angle for the transmission component.
[0009] In a further technical solution, the pressing column is made of rubber material.
[0010] A further technical solution involves retaining traditional manual control devices on the remote control box, including a power switch, an engine start switch, a gear shift switch, and an engine stop switch.
[0011] A further technical solution involves an L-shaped switch bracket and an L-shaped lever bracket.
[0012] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. The remote control box is controlled by the intelligent supporting device to start the engine at the stern of the hull, engage forward gear, accelerate forward, engage reverse gear, accelerate reverse, and shut down the engine, thereby effectively avoiding manual operation and realizing automatic control, thus enabling precise and efficient control of the engine at the stern of the hull.
[0014] 2. By adopting a cam structure design at a certain angle in the transmission component, when the transmission component rotates, the bearing wheel engages with the protruding contour of the transmission component, driving the switch lever to rotate around the pin shaft. Then, the other end of the switch lever drives the pressing column to simulate a human finger touching the normally open button switch, connecting the circuit and limiting the power of the gasoline boat outboard motor to a low-speed controllable range, thereby achieving the function of safety protection.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0020] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an automatic controller for a gasoline-powered boat outboard motor, including an adapter plate 1. A remote control box 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the adapter plate 1, and a plurality of evenly distributed connecting posts 2 are fixedly connected to the other end of the adapter plate 1. A stator fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting post 2, and a sealing gasket 4 is also provided at the end of the adapter plate 1 near the stator fixing plate 7. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the stator fixing plate 7 near the remote control box 3, and a transmission component 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the motor 5. The other end of the transmission component 6 passes through the adapter plate 1. The stator fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the remote control box 3; a switch bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the other end face of the stator fixing plate 7, and a button switch 9 is provided on the switch bracket 8; a lever bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the stator fixing plate 7 away from the remote control box 3, and a switch lever 11 is rotatably connected to the lever bracket 10 through a pin 13; a bearing wheel 12 is connected to one end of the switch lever 11, and the bearing wheel 12 abuts against the outer wall of the transmission component 6; a pressing column 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the switch lever 11, and the pressing column 14 is connected to the button switch 9.
[0022] Furthermore, the transmission component 6 adopts a cam structure design at a certain angle. When the transmission component 6 rotates, the bearing wheel 12 fits against the protruding contour of the transmission component 6, driving the switch lever 11 to rotate around the pin shaft 13. Then, the other end of the switch lever 11 drives the pressing column 14 to simulate a human finger touching the normally open button switch 9, connecting the circuit and limiting the power of the gasoline boat outboard motor to a low-speed controllable range.
[0023] Furthermore, the pressing column 14 is made of rubber material.
[0024] Furthermore, the remote control box 3 retains traditional manual control devices, including a power switch, an engine start switch, a gear shift switch, and an engine stop switch.
[0025] Furthermore, the switch bracket 8 is L-shaped.
[0026] Furthermore, the lever support 10 is L-shaped.
[0027] It is understood that a gasoline-powered boat includes a hull, intelligent supporting devices, an electric rudder, and an automatic controller for the outboard motor. An engine is located at the stern of the hull, and the intelligent supporting devices and electric rudder are fixedly installed on the forward side of the hull. An automatic controller for the outboard motor is also located on the right side of the hull's inner wall. This automatic controller is electrically connected to both the intelligent supporting devices and the engine via cables. The electric rudder is also electrically connected to both the intelligent supporting devices and the engine. When automatic driving is required, by switching to automatic mode, the intelligent supporting devices replace the human brain, using the automatic controller to simulate human hand movements to control the outboard motor's engine starting, engaging forward gear, accelerating forward, engaging reverse gear, accelerating backward, and shutting down the engine.
[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the remote control box 3 is controlled by an intelligent auxiliary device to operate the engine at the stern of the boat, including starting, engaging forward gear, accelerating forward, engaging reverse gear, accelerating backward, and shutting off the engine. This effectively avoids manual operation and achieves automatic control, enabling precise and efficient control of the engine at the stern of the boat. The transmission component 6 adopts a cam structure design at a certain angle. When the transmission component 6 rotates, the bearing wheel 12 engages with the protruding contour of the transmission component 6, causing the switch lever 11 to rotate around the pin shaft 13. Then, the other end of the switch lever 11 drives the pressing column 14 to simulate a human finger touching the normally open button switch 9, connecting the circuit and limiting the power of the gasoline outboard motor to a low-speed controllable range, thereby achieving a safety protection function.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When manual operation is required, the engine at the stern of the boat is controlled by the power switch, engine start switch, gear adjustment switch and engine stop switch on the remote control box 3; when automatic control of the engine at the stern of the boat is required, the remote control box 3 is controlled by the intelligent supporting device to start the engine at the stern of the boat, engage forward gear, accelerate forward, engage reverse gear, accelerate reverse and stop the engine; in addition, the motor 5 is controlled to rotate, and then the motor 5 drives the transmission component 6 to rotate. When the bearing wheel 12 is in contact with the protruding contour of the transmission component 6, it drives the switch lever 11 to rotate around the pin shaft 13. Then the other end of the switch lever 11 drives the pressing column 14 to touch the normally open button switch 9, connect the circuit, and limit the power of the gasoline boat outboard motor to a low-speed controllable range.
[0030] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
