7. The direct-drive full-rotation device according to claim 5, characterized in that: Also includes: Bottom end cover (13), O-ring (14); The bottom end cover (13) has an O-ring (14) installation groove in it, and an O-ring (14) is installed between the bottom end cover (13) and the rotating shaft (12). The bottom end cover (13) is connected to the lower part of the bottom load-bearing conical cover (11), and sealing is achieved by adding a rubber ring between the installation surfaces of the two, so that a closed cavity is formed at the lower part of the connecting plate (1) by the bottom end cover (13), the bottom load-bearing conical cover (11), the connecting plate (1) and the motor cover (6).

8. A direct drive full rotation system, characterized in that: A direct-drive azimuth device as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 7 is adopted; the direct-drive azimuth system further comprises: a controller computing unit, a GPS device and a posture sensing device arranged on the catamaran.

9. The direct-drive full-rotation system according to claim 8, characterized in that: The catamaran is equipped with a GPS device for measuring the current position of the hull and a posture sensor device for the hull posture, and a controller calculation unit; for the bow stability control, the two rudder angles are consistent, and the current setting of the hull measurement line trajectory position is (x t ,y t ), the actual position of the ship is obtained by GPS as (x n ,y n ), then the target heading of the ship can be calculated as: The current hull attitude returned by the attitude sensor is The PI controller is used to calculate the rudder angle of the catamaran stern full-turn device according to the heading angle deviation, so as to realize the bow stability control of the catamaran during navigation. The PI controller accurately adjusts the angle of the servo motor (5) in real time according to the set route and the information fed back by the GPS and the attitude sensor, thereby achieving stable bow control of the ship.

10. A method for using the direct-drive full-rotation device according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: include: The servo motor (5), the motor shaft (4), the aluminum alloy diaphragm coupling (3), the intermediate transmission shaft (7) and the rotating shaft (12) form the main structure of the direct-drive full-rotation device, forming a full-rotation shaft with only one rotational degree of freedom, and bearing axial loads through the angular contact ball bearing (8), and bearing radial loads through the needle bearing (15), so that the rotor of the servo motor (5) rotates to drive the rotating shaft (12), thereby realizing the full-rotation movement of the propeller (18), and the huge thrust generated by the action of the propeller (18) and water is transmitted to the bottom bearing conical cover (11) through the needle bearing (15), and then transmitted to the connecting plate (1) by the bottom bearing conical cover (11), thereby driving the catamaran to move; After removing the motor cover (6), loosen the fastening screws of the aluminum alloy diaphragm coupling (3) on the outside, and remove the three screws on the motor mounting frame (2) to dismantle all the structures on the upper part of the connecting plate (1) to replace and maintain the coupling or motor; After removing the motor cover (6), add lubricating oil to the angular contact ball bearing (8) and the needle roller bearing (15) at the lower part of the connecting plate (1).
