Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of marine technology, and more particularly to a connection component, a propulsion device, and a water-based mobile device. Background Technology

[0002] Ships generally consist of a hull and a propeller. The hull is equipped with clamps, and the propeller is connected to the clamps via a connecting structure. Currently, the connecting structure not only needs to achieve a detachable connection between the propeller and the clamp, but also needs to ensure the stability of the connection when the propeller and the clamp are connected, resulting in a complex structure. Furthermore, some connecting structures use a sliding fit for locking and limiting, leading to poor stability and a tendency for accidental locking due to factors such as ship movement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a connection component, a thruster, and a water-based mobile device to address the problems of complex connection structures and easy accidental locking in known technologies.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a connecting assembly, including a clamp, a connector, a slider, and a linkage. The clamp is used to connect a waterborne carrier; the connector is used to connect a propulsion power device and is detachably connected to the clamp; the slider is slidably connected to the clamp and is used to lock and limit the connector relative to the clamp, and a first limiting protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the slider; the linkage is slidably connected to the clamp and located on one side of the slider, and a limiting groove is provided on the linkage; the linkage is used to slide close to the slider when the connector is connected to the clamp, and the slider can slide until the first limiting protrusion engages with the limiting groove, so that the slider releases the locking and limiting of the connector.

[0005] In one possible implementation, one end of the slider is slidably connected to the clamp along a first direction, and the other end is provided with a protrusion. The connector includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other. The first end is used to detachably connect to the clamp, and when the first end is connected to the clamp, the protrusion abuts against the second end to lock the connector away from the clamp.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the protrusion has an inclined surface, and the protrusion can receive a sliding component force on the inclined surface under the connection force between the connector and the clamp. The sliding component force is used to drive the slider to slide away from the connector along the first direction.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the connecting assembly further includes a mounting base and an elastic member, the mounting base being disposed on the clamp, one end of the sliding member being slidably connected to the mounting base and rotatable relative to the mounting base about the first direction;

[0008] The outer peripheral surface of the slider is provided with a stop, and the elastic element is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the slider and clamped between the mounting base and the stop.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the clamp has a limiting surface, the slider is located on one side of the limiting surface, and the slider is provided with a second limiting protrusion. The second limiting protrusion is used to abut against the limiting surface when the slider is locked and limited to the connector, so as to restrict the slider from rotating relative to the clamp.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the clamp has a cavity located on the movement path of the second limiting protrusion toward the mounting base. The second limiting protrusion slides into the cavity, releases the rotational limitation on the slider, and allows the first limiting protrusion of the slider to engage with the limiting groove.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the linkage member has a groove at one end near the slider, the groove extends along a first direction and is used to partially accommodate the slider, and the limiting groove is formed on the groove wall of the groove.

[0012] When the linkage slides to the point where the sliding part is housed in the groove, the sliding part can rotate relative to the linkage to move the first limiting protrusion to engage with the limiting groove.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the outer peripheral surface of the linkage member near the sliding member is provided with a sliding protrusion, and the clamp is provided with a movable groove, in which the sliding protrusion is slidably received;

[0014] The groove wall at the end of the movable groove away from the slider is provided with a stop protrusion, which abuts against the sliding protrusion to limit the range of movement of the sliding protrusion.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the extension length of the movable groove is set as a first distance, and when the first limiting protrusion disengages from the limiting groove, there is a second distance between the end of the linkage member near the slider and the slider, and the first distance is not less than the second distance.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the connecting assembly further includes a magnetic element disposed at the end of the connector and / or the linkage away from the slider, for magnetically connecting the connector and the linkage so that when the connector moves relative to the clamp to be connected to the clamp, the connector pulls the linkage to move to abut against the slider.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the clamp has a connecting seat protruding from its outer side, the connecting seat has a receiving groove, one end of the connector is received in the receiving groove, and the sliding member movably abuts against the other end of the connector to prevent the connector from disengaging from the receiving groove.

[0018] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a thruster, including the aforementioned propulsion power device and the aforementioned connecting component, wherein the propulsion power device is connected to the connecting component.

[0019] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a water-based mobile device, including a water-based carrier and the aforementioned thruster, wherein the clamp is connected to the water-based carrier.

[0020] In this application, the connecting component has a sliding member that slides into a clamp to lock the connector to a specific position, thus locking the connecting component. When it is necessary to unlock the connector, the sliding member slides in the opposite direction to a position that will not interfere with the removal of the connector from the clamp. Simultaneously, the linkage slides close to the sliding member, causing the first limiting protrusion to engage with the limiting groove, thereby locking the sliding member and the linkage. This fixes the sliding member in a position that will not interfere with the removal of the connector, ensuring that the connector can be smoothly removed from the clamp. Thus, the connecting component features a sliding member and a linkage, and the locking and limiting of the connector is achieved through the sliding of the sliding member and the locking and limiting of the sliding member itself. The overall structure of the connecting component is relatively simple, and both locking and unlocking are achieved through sliding, simplifying the locking and unlocking operations. Furthermore, the locking of the sliding member by the linkage ensures that the sliding member will not slide to the locking limit due to external force, preventing accidental locking.

[0073] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this application. Detailed Implementation

As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to also include the plural forms. Furthermore, when used herein, “comprising” and / or “including” and / or “having,” integers, steps, operations, components, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0076] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. Furthermore, unless expressly defined herein, terms such as those defined in a general dictionary should be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant art and in the content of this application, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning.

[0077] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a water-based mobile device 300, which includes a water-based carrier 301 and a thruster 200.

[0079] Among them, the water-mobile equipment 300 can be various water transportation vehicles such as commercial ships, fishing boats, passenger ships, and yachts, or it can be water inspection equipment or water management equipment that can move in water.

[0080] The water carrier 301 can move in water, and the thruster 200 is installed on the water carrier 301 to drive the water carrier 301 to move.

[0081] Specifically, the thruster 200 is detachably connected to the water carrier 301. On the one hand, the thruster 200 can be pitched and adjusted via the clamps of the thruster 200, so that part of the thruster 200 can be moved into or out of the water. On the other hand, the deflection angle of the thruster 200 can be adjusted to achieve the turning of the carrier.

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, and in combination Figure 1 This application also provides a thruster 200, including a propulsion power unit 201 and a connecting assembly 100. The connecting assembly 100 includes a clamp 10 and a connector 20. The propulsion power unit 201 is connected to the connector 20 via a connecting rod 202. The connector 20 is connected to the clamp 10, and the clamp 10 is connected to a water carrier 301. Thus, the propulsion power unit 201 is connected to the water carrier 301 via the clamp 10 and the connector 20, thereby providing power to the water carrier 301.

[0083] In particular, the clamp 10 and the connector 20 are detachably connected, which makes it easy to remove and install the connector 20 from the clamp 10, thereby realizing the removal and installation of the propulsion power unit 201 and facilitating the carrying or installation of the propulsion power unit 201.

[0084] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a connection component 100, which also includes a sliding member 30 and a linkage member 40.

[0085] The slider 30 is slidably connected to the clamp 10 and is used to lock and limit the connector 20 relative to the clamp 10. At the same time, a first limiting protrusion 33 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the slider 30.

[0086] The linkage 40 is slidably connected to the clamp 10 and is located on one side of the slider 30. The linkage 40 has a limiting groove 4110. The linkage 40 is used to slide close to the slider 30 when the connector 20 is connected to the clamp 10. The slider 30 can slide until the first limiting protrusion 33 engages with the limiting groove 4110, so that the slider 30 releases the locking limit on the connector 20.

[0087] Thus, the connecting component 100 of this application utilizes the sliding member 30 to slide and engage with the clamp 10, sliding to lock and limit the connector 20 and the clamp 10, thereby achieving the locking operation of the connecting component 100. When it is necessary to unlock the connector 20 and the clamp 10, the sliding member 30 slides in the opposite direction to a position that will not interfere with the removal of the connector 20 from the clamp 10. At the same time, the linkage 40 slides close to the sliding member 30, causing the first limiting protrusion 33 to engage with the limiting groove 4110, thereby locking and limiting the sliding member 30 and the linkage 40, fixing the sliding member 30 in a position that will not interfere with the removal of the connector 20, and ensuring that the connector 20 can be smoothly removed from the clamp 10. In short, the connecting component 100 is equipped with a sliding slider 30 and a linkage 40. The sliding of the slider 30 achieves locking and limiting of the connecting component 20, and the sliding of the linkage 40 achieves locking and limiting of the slider 30. The overall structure of the connecting component 100 is relatively simple, and both locking and unlocking are achieved through sliding, simplifying the locking and unlocking operations. Simultaneously, the locking of the slider 30 by the linkage 40 ensures that the slider 30 will not slide to the locking limit of the connecting component 20 due to external force, thus preventing accidental locking.

[0088] For ease of subsequent description, this embodiment introduces a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z to describe the various structural components of this embodiment. Here, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are three mutually perpendicular directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system (a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). In subsequent embodiments, the description will use the first direction X as the X-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, the second direction Y as the Y-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, and the third direction Z as the Z-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system as examples.

[0089] Please combine Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the clamp 10 includes a main body 11 and two side portions 12. Along the second direction Y, the two side portions 12 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the main body 11.

[0090] Furthermore, the main body 11 includes a first connecting plate 111, two second connecting plates 112, and a third connecting plate 113. The first connecting plate 111 extends along a third direction Z. The two second connecting plates 112 are connected to one side of the first connecting plate 111 along a first direction X and along a second direction Y. The two second connecting plates 112 are spaced apart to form a cavity 13 enclosed by the two second connecting plates 112 and the first connecting plate 111. The two side portions 12 are respectively connected to the two second connecting plates 112.

[0091] The third connecting plate 113 is located between the two second connecting plates 112 and is spaced apart from the first connecting plate 111. The third connecting plate 113 extends along the first direction X and along the third direction Z, and is connected to the top of the two second connecting plates 112.

[0092] Furthermore, a connecting seat 14 protrudes from the side of the first connecting plate 111 away from the second connecting plate 112. The connecting seat 14 extends in the third direction Z, and the connecting seat 14 has a receiving groove 140, which extends downward from the top of the connecting seat 14 in the third direction Z.

[0093] The connector 20 is slidably engaged with and detachably connected to the connector 14, facilitating the sliding removal and placement of the connector 20 from the connector 14. The connector 20 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 disposed opposite to each other. When the connector 20 is connected to the clamp 10, the first end 21 of the connector 20 is received within the receiving groove 140 and abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 140. The second end 22 of the connector 20 extends out of the receiving groove 140 and abuts against the circumferential surface of the slider 30, thereby preventing the connector 20 from disengaging from the receiving groove 140 by the slider 30.

[0094] Please combine Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the slider 30 extends along a first direction X and includes a first end 31 and a second end 32 disposed opposite to each other. A mounting base 15 is provided at the top of the third connecting plate 113, and a groove is formed on the side of the mounting base 15 near the first connecting plate 111. The first end 31 is slidably received within the groove, allowing the slider 30 to slide relative to the mounting base 15 along the first direction X. Furthermore, the first end 31 can also rotate relative to the mounting base 15 about the first direction X, rotating the slider 30 until the first limiting protrusion 33 engages with the limiting groove 4110. The second end 32 is provided with a protrusion 34. When the first end 21 is connected to the clamp 10, the slider 30 slides until the protrusion 34 is above the connecting base 14, so that the protrusion 34 abuts against the second end 22, thereby locking the connecting member 20 away from the clamp 10.

[0095] The protrusion 34 is provided with an inclined surface P1, which extends upward from the end face of the protrusion 34 away from the second end 32 toward the second end 32. Under the connection force between the connector 20 and the clamp 10, the protrusion 34 can receive a sliding component force on the inclined surface P1, which is used to drive the slider 30 to slide away from the connector 20 along the first direction X.

[0096] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 100 also includes an elastic member 50. A stop member 35 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sliding member 30, and the stop member 35 is located between the first end 31 and the second end 32. The elastic member 50 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sliding member 30 and clamped between the mounting base 15 and the stop member 35.

[0097] The elastic element 50 is a spring, one end of which elastically abuts against the mounting base 15, and the other end of which elastically abuts against the stop member 35, so as to apply an elastic force to the stop member 35.

[0098] The top of the third connecting plate 113 is also provided with a limiting seat 16. Along the first direction X, the limiting seat 16 is located on the side of the mounting base 15 near the connecting base 14, and the sliding member 30 is slidably inserted through it. The limiting seat 16 is used to hold the abutment member 35 to limit the maximum distance that the abutment member 35 moves toward the connecting base 14.

[0099] Thus, when the connector 20 is outside the connector 14, the elastic member 50 is in its initial state, i.e., the abutment 35 abuts against the limiting seat 16, and at this time, the protrusion 34 is located above the connector 14. When it is necessary to install the connector 20 onto the connector 14, the connector 20 is extended downward into the receiving groove 140. During the downward movement of the connector 20, the first end 21 abuts against the inclined surface P1 of the protrusion 34, thereby causing the slider 30 to slide towards the mounting seat 15. During this process, the abutment 35 slides away from the limiting seat 16, causing the elastic member 50 to be continuously compressed until the slider 30 slides until its protrusion 34 is no longer located above the connector 14. At this time, the slider 30 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 50, causing the protrusion 34 to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the connector 20.

[0100] Finally, when the connector 20 slides down to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 140 at its first end 21, the protrusion 34 is no longer supported by the outer peripheral surface of the connector 20. The elastic element 50 begins to reset and applies an elastic force to the protrusion 34, causing the sliding element 30 to slide toward the connector 20. After the elastic element 50 returns to its initial state, the protrusion 34 slides to the top of the connecting seat 14 and supports the second end 22.

[0101] Please combine Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the clamp 10 has a limiting surface P2, which is located on the end face of the top of the first connecting plate 111, and the sliding member 30 is located above the limiting surface P2.

[0102] The slider 30 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 340, which is used to abut against the limiting surface P2 when the slider 30 is locked and limited to the connector 20, so as to restrict the slider 30 from rotating relative to the clamp 10.

[0103] Specifically, there are two second limiting protrusions 340, which are located on opposite sides of the protrusion 34 along the second direction Y.

[0104] When both second limiting protrusions 340 abut against the limiting surface P2, it can ensure that the slider 30 will not rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0105] Specifically, when the connector 20 is outside the connector 14, the protrusion 34 is above the connector 14, and the second limiting protrusion 340 abuts against the limiting surface P2. At this time, along the first direction X, the distance between the second limiting protrusion 340 and the surface of the first connecting plate 111 away from the connector 14 is greater than the length of the inclined surface P1 along the first direction X.

[0106] Thus, during the process of the connecting member 20 driving the sliding member 30 to slide and the elastic member 50 driving the sliding member 30 to slide, the second limiting protrusion 340 will slide with the sliding member 30. However, the second limiting protrusion 340 always abuts against the limiting surface P2 during the sliding process, ensuring that the sliding member 30 will not be limited by the linkage member 40 and unable to continue sliding due to the rotation causing the first limiting protrusion 33 to engage with the limiting groove 4110.

[0107] Please combine Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the cavity 13 is located on the movement path of the second limiting protrusion 340 toward the mounting base 15. When the slider 30 slides to the point where the protrusion 34 no longer abuts against the second end 22, the second limiting protrusion 340 slides into the cavity 13 and no longer abuts against the limiting surface P2, thereby releasing the rotational limitation on the slider 30. At this time, rotating the slider 30 causes it to rotate until the first limiting protrusion 33 engages with the limiting groove 4110, thereby fixing the slider 30 to ensure that it will not continue to slide, facilitating the smooth removal of the connector 20 from the connector base 14.

[0108] Please combine Figures 6 to 8 And see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the linkage 40 is located within the cavity 13. The linkage 40 has an "L"-shaped structure and includes a first section 41 and a second section. The first section 41 extends in a third direction Z and is located below the slider 30. One end of the second section is connected to the end of the first section 41 away from the slider 30, and the second section is set at an angle to the first section 41. The other end of the second section extends to the area below the connecting seat 14.

[0109] The second section is provided with a fastener 60, which is a screw or bolt, and is threadedly connected to the second section. The fastener 60 is located in the cavity 13 and abuts against the first connecting plate 111 to position the linkage 40.

[0110] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 100 also includes a magnetic element 70. The magnetic element 70 is disposed at the end of the connecting member 20 and / or the linkage member 40 away from the sliding member 30, and is used to magnetically connect the connecting member 20 and the linkage member 40 so that when the connecting member 20 moves relative to the clamp 10 to be connected to the clamp 10, the connecting member 20 pulls the linkage member 40 to move to abut against the sliding member 30.

[0111] Specifically, the bottom end of the connector 14 is provided with a through hole 141 so that the magnetic component 70 can better connect the connector 20 and the linkage component 40 magnetically.

[0112] In some implementations, two magnetic elements 70 are provided. One magnetic element 70 is located at the end of the second section near the connecting seat 14, and the other magnetic element 70 is located at the first end 21 of the connector 20. As the connector 20 extends downward into the receiving groove 140, the second end 22 gradually approaches the second section, causing the two magnetic elements 70 to approach each other. Under the magnetic attraction of the two magnetic elements 70, the linkage 40 overcomes its own gravity and causes the second section to rise toward the second end 22. Consequently, the first section 41 rises to approach the sliding member 30, so that the first limiting protrusion 33 and the limiting groove 4110 can cooperate.

[0113] Simultaneously, when the connector 20 is removed, it gradually extends upwards out of the receiving groove 140, and the second end 22 gradually moves away from the second section, causing the two magnetic components 70 to move away from each other. This continues until the magnetic attraction between the two magnetic components 70 is less than the weight of the linkage 40. The linkage 40 then falls back under the influence of gravity, causing the first section 41 to move downwards away from the slider 30, and the first limiting protrusion 33 and the limiting groove 4110 come into contact. The slider 30 can then continue to slide.

[0114] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the magnetic element 70 is provided as one and is located in one of the second region and the second end 22, and the other of the second region and the second end 22 is made of magnetic material so as to be magnetically attracted to the magnetic element 70.

[0115] Please combine Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, a groove 411 is provided at one end of the first region 41 near the slider 30. The groove 411 has an arc-shaped cross-section and is adapted to the shape of the slider 30. The groove 411 extends along the first direction X and is used to partially accommodate the slider 30. A limiting groove 4110 is formed in the groove wall of the groove 411, and may be one or two.

[0116] When the first section 41 of the linkage 40 slides to the point where the slider 30 is partially housed in the groove 411, the slider 30 can rotate and slide relative to the linkage 40, thereby causing the first limiting protrusion 33 to move in a sliding or rotating manner to engage with the limiting groove 4110, thereby locking the slider 30 and the linkage 40.

[0117] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the linkage 40 near the sliding member 30 is provided with a sliding protrusion 412, and the clamp 10 is provided with a movable groove 1130, in which the sliding protrusion 412 is slidably accommodated.

[0118] Two sliding protrusions 412 are provided, located on opposite sides of the first section 41 along the second direction Y. A movable groove 1130 is provided on the side of the third connecting plate 113 closest to the first connecting plate 111, extending along the third direction Z. Two movable grooves 1130 are provided, and the two sliding protrusions 412 are slidably accommodated within each groove 1130 to guide the first section 41 to slide along the third direction Z.

[0119] The groove wall at the end of the movable groove 1130 away from the slider 30 is provided with a stop protrusion 1131. The stop protrusion 1131 abuts against the sliding protrusion 412 to limit the range of movement of the sliding protrusion 412. When the first section 41 slides away from the slider 30 until the sliding protrusion 412 abuts against the stop protrusion 1131, the stop protrusion 1131 can not only support the first section 41, but also prevent the first section 41 from sliding down too far, causing the second section to slide down too far simultaneously and thus be unable to slide upward with the connector 20 by the magnetic force of the magnetic component 70.

[0120] Specifically, the extension length of the movable groove 1130 is set as a first distance. When the first limiting protrusion 33 disengages from the limiting groove 4110, there is a second distance between the end of the first section 41 near the slider 30 and the slider 30. The first distance is not less than the second distance to ensure that the first section 41 can slide smoothly along the movable groove 1130 until the first limiting protrusion 33 disengages from the limiting groove 4110.

[0121] The working method of this application is explained below:

[0122] When the connector 20 is outside the connector 14, the elastic element 50 is in its initial state, and the protrusion 34 is above the connector 14. When the connector 20 needs to be installed on the connector 14, the connector 20 is extended downward into the receiving groove 140. During the downward movement of the connector 20, the first end 21 abuts against the inclined surface P1 of the protrusion 34, causing the slider 30 to slide towards the mounting base 15. During this process, the elastic element 50 is continuously compressed until the slider 30 slides until its protrusion 34 is no longer above the connector 14. At this time, the slider 30 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element 50, causing the protrusion 34 to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the connector 20.

[0123] Finally, when the connector 20 slides downwards until its first end 21 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 140, the protrusion 34 is no longer supported by the outer peripheral surface of the connector 20. The elastic element 50 begins to reset and applies an elastic force to the protrusion 34, causing the slider 30 to slide towards the connector 20. After the elastic element 50 returns to its initial state, the protrusion 34 slides to a position above the connecting seat 14 and abuts against the second end 22. At the same time, during the process of the connector 20 sliding downwards until its first end 21 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 140, the second limiting protrusion 340 of the slider 30 always abuts against the limiting surface P2, ensuring that the slider 30 will not rotate during this process. The second section moves upwards under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic element 70 to approach the connector 20, thereby causing the first section 41 to move towards the slider 30 until the slider 30 is partially received in the groove 411.

[0124] When it is necessary to remove the connector 20 from the connector 14, first push the slider 30 to slide towards the mounting base 15 until the first limiting protrusion 33 is located in the groove 411. At this time, the second limiting protrusion 340 is located in the cavity 13, no longer restricting the rotation of the slider 30. Then rotate the slider 30 so that the first limiting protrusion 33 engages in the limiting groove 4110, thereby locking the slider 30. At the same time, the protrusion 34 is no longer located above the connector 14, and the connector 20 can be smoothly removed from the connector 14.

[0125] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
