Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of outboard motor technology, specifically to an outboard motor vertical remote control box operating system. Background Technology
[0002] The outboard motor remote control box is a crucial control component for outboard motors. It allows crew members to operate and control the outboard motor remotely. Its main functions include controlling the outboard motor's basic operating states such as start-up, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. Operating commands are transmitted to the outboard motor via buttons and joysticks on the remote control handle, enabling flexible control of the vessel. With the booming development of the water sports and leisure industry, the market demand for high-performance, high-horsepower outboard motors is increasing. High-horsepower outboard motors not only provide stronger power but also are compatible with larger and more advanced boat types, satisfying consumers' pursuit of speed, maneuverability, and comfort.
[0003] However, with the increase in outboard motor power and the diversification of ship types, the traditional side-mounted control method can no longer meet users' needs for precise control and convenient operation. Traditional outboard motor remote control systems often have problems such as cluttered operating interfaces, large space occupation, and poor cable management leading to inefficient operation. At the same time, higher requirements are also placed on the flexibility and safety of multi-machine collaborative control. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical remote control box operating system for outboard motors. This vertical remote control box (single or dual units) can be installed on the front of the cockpit, mostly hidden below the ship's control panel. It has a compact and aesthetically pleasing structure, with steel cables and ten-core wires buried below the control panel without being exposed. It offers comfortable operation and rapid response, making it suitable for high-end ship types.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an outboard motor vertical remote control box operating system, including an operating console, wherein a single-machine remote control box body and a dual-machine remote control box body are installed in the middle of the operating console;
[0006] The single-unit remote control box body and the dual-unit remote control box body include a top cover. A limit baffle is screwed to the bottom of the top cover. A remote control box shock-absorbing pad is screwed to the bottom of the limit baffle. A remote control box shell is bolted to the bottom of the top cover. A shock-absorbing pad is installed on the right side of the top cover. A control rod is installed on the right side of the top cover. A cross-slot pan head screw is installed on the right side of the control rod. A drive gear is installed on the inner side of the remote control box shell. A free acceleration shaft is installed inside the drive gear. A main gear is installed outside the drive gear. A shaft pin limiting pressure plate is installed at one end of the free acceleration shaft. A locking plate is installed on the left side of the shaft pin limiting pressure plate. An acceleration spring is installed on the left side of the locking plate. A gearbox mounting cover is installed on the left side of the acceleration spring. A control rod handle is installed on the outside of the control rod.
[0007] Preferably, the remote control box housing is located at the bottom of the control panel, and the top cover is located at the top of the control panel.
[0008] Preferably, a tilting switch panel is installed on the outside of the control lever handle, and a tilting switch assembly is installed inside the control lever handle.
[0009] Preferably, a remote control box cover is installed on the left side of the remote control box shell, and a gear position seat is installed at one end of the remote control box cover.
[0010] Preferably, a drive plate and a gear position controller are installed on the left side of the gearbox mounting cover.

[0012] Preferably, a remote control box logo plate is installed at one end of the remote control box shell, and a clue sealing seat is installed on the outside of the remote control box shell.
[0013] Preferably, an acceleration shaft limiting plate is installed on the left side of the cross-groove pan head screw, and a free acceleration button cap is installed on the left side of the cross-groove pan head screw.
[0014] Preferably, a shaft retaining ring is installed on the right side of the cross-groove pan head screw, and a drive gear bushing is installed on the right side of the shaft retaining ring.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0016] First, this invention connects the top cover to the limiting baffle with bolts, and then connects the limiting baffle to the shock-absorbing pad of the remote control box with bolts to achieve stability and shock absorption during operation of both the single-unit and dual-unit remote control box bodies. Bolts connect the bottom of the top cover to the remote control box shell, forming the main structure of the remote control box. This results in a compact design for the remote control box shell, with most of the single-unit and dual-unit remote control box bodies hidden below the operating table, only the operating parts exposed. This not only saves space but also makes the operating table look neater and more aesthetically pleasing. A shock-absorbing pad is installed on the right side of the top cover for further shock absorption and to secure the control rod. The control rod is fixed with a cross-head screw and has a handle. The handle is designed according to ergonomic principles to ensure comfortable operation in different postures, thus saving space, making the operating table look neater and more aesthetically pleasing, and improving operational comfort.
[0017] Secondly, the present invention has a steel cable adjustment seat installed at one end of the gear position seat, which allows the steel cable adjustment seat to adjust the tension of the steel cable of the throttle control arm, ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of operation. Furthermore, the cable sealing seat is set to protect the throttle cable, gear position cable and other cables, preventing wear and jamming, thereby ensuring a smooth cable path, reducing the risk of friction and jamming, and improving the smoothness and reliability of operation.
[0018] Third, this invention provides two types of remote control boxes: a single-machine remote control box and a dual-machine remote control box. The dual-machine remote control box has the ability to control two outboard motors simultaneously, including synchronous throttle adjustment, synchronous gear shifting, and single or dual-machine tilt control, to adapt to different ship types and operational needs. The dual-machine remote control box uses a dual-diode control circuit. One master tilt switch can control both machines to lift and lower simultaneously. The tilt switch for the left machine only controls the left machine, and the tilt switch for the right machine only controls the right machine, without affecting each other. One emergency stop switch can stop both machines simultaneously, making it safer. Attached Figure Description
