[0024] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The present invention discloses a remote control operation unit suitable for ship electromechanical monitoring, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a remote control unit suitable for ship electromechanical monitoring, including: a core board configured with a bus interface for CAN communication data interaction and conversion, a remote control unit body installed on the rear cover of the remote control unit and configured with an external physical interface, a remote control unit mainboard connected to the core board and the physical interface for collecting switch quantity and analog quantity signals, and a remote control unit panel installed on the front surface of the remote control unit and connected to the input interface of the remote control unit mainboard;

[0026] The core board adopts embedded technology, using the independently developed and mature ARM7 motherboard as the core processing unit, superimposed with a special interface board

[0027] The remote control operation unit body is provided with a power supply interface, an I / O interface for outputting switching quantities and analog quantities, and a CAN communication interface for receiving and sending CAN communication data and outputting switching quantities and digital quantities.

[0028] The I / O interface supports 28-channel key switch output, 4-channel gear knob switch output, and 2-channel 4~20mA current I / O output.

[0029] The CAN communication interface supports the information exchange function of the CAN2.0B interface, and can output 32-way switch quantities and 2-way 4~20mA current analog quantity converted digital quantities; after receiving external CAN communication data and parsing the corresponding message, it turns on / off the indicator light of the corresponding button; when the self-test works abnormally, it sends a fault message to the outside, and supports module-level fault alarm function.

[0030] The physical interface includes: a power supply interface connected to the onboard power supply interface of the remote control operation unit mainboard, a 2-way current output interface connected to the onboard analog output interface of the remote control operation unit mainboard, and a 32-way switch output interface connected to the onboard switch output interface of the remote control operation unit mainboard.

[0031] The input interface of the remote control unit operation mainboard includes: a switch input interface connected to the remote control unit panel buttons and the gear knob, and an analog input interface connected to the remote control unit panel adjustment knob.

[0032] The output interface of the remote control unit operation mainboard includes: a switch output interface connected to the I / O interface of the remote control unit body, and an analog output interface connected to the I / O interface of the remote control unit body.

[0033] The interactive interface of the remote control unit operation mainboard includes: a CAN communication interface connected to the onboard CAN communication interface of the remote control operation unit mainboard, and a bus interface connected to the bus interface of the core board.

[0034] The remote control unit panel, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front side is provided with 3 adjustment knobs for inputting adjusting current to the main board of the remote control operation unit, 4 gear knobs for changing the control mode by switching gears, and 28 buttons for inputting switch quantity to the main board of the remote control operation unit and indicating the state of the switch quantity; the buttons include switch quantity state information corresponding to the CAN communication interface configuration and monitoring the real-time state of the remote control operation; there is an indicator light at the upper right corner of the button, which switches the light / off state when the button is pressed or CAN communication data is received to display the state of the switch quantity corresponding to the button.

[0035] The remote control operation unit panel can be divided into multiple areas to control different objects respectively; the panel can be divided into new areas as needed; the button also has a self-locking configuration module, the surface printing can be adjusted according to the function, and a protective cover can be optionally installed; the gear knob can be switched to select different control methods; a stepless backlight adjustment module is set, and the panel backlight can be steplessly dimmed by adjusting the adjustment knob.

[0036] The remote control unit has a built-in button circuit board, such as Figure 3 As shown, a highly integrated key circuit board is pressed tightly against the key contact point on the back of the remote control unit panel by a pressure plate. There are 28 raised elastic key points on the key circuit board, corresponding to the 28 keys on the panel. When the key is pressed, a strong elastic feedback is obtained, and the key rebounds to its original state. Compared with the original mechanical button, the key of the present invention occupies less space, has a good touch, and reduces the back wiring. This also reduces the depth of the remote control unit a lot, realizing a flat design.

[0037] The remote control operation unit sends a fault message to the outside when the self-check is abnormal, and supports the module-level fault alarm function.

[0038] The panel and rear cover of the remote control unit are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has good processing properties. It is relatively simple to process parts with the required flatness and roughness, and the processing cost is lower. Furthermore, aluminum alloy has a low density, and parts of the same volume are lighter. The panel is made of super-hard aluminum LC4, which plays a role in supporting the entire unit; the rear cover is made of LF3 rust-proof aluminum, which has good corrosion resistance. The shell of aluminum alloy can not only ensure the use function of the remote control unit, but also reduce the weight, increase its corrosion resistance and extend its service life compared with previous remote control units.

[0039] The rear cover of the remote control unit and the panel of the remote control unit are used as a shell and are connected by threads. The shell wraps the core board, the remote control unit body and the main body of the remote control unit; the panel of the remote control unit is placed on the front surface, and the threads connecting the rear cover of the remote control unit and the panel of the remote control unit are installed from the back of the remote control unit. Figure 4 As shown, there are no threaded holes on the front surface, the layout is neat, and the appearance is high.

[0040] It should be noted that the above-described specific implementations can enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand the invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. Therefore, although this specification has described the invention in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. In short, all technical solutions and improvements that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the invention should be included in the protection scope of the patent for the invention.
