BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention. Implementation

[0016] The present invention is further described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0017] See also Figure 1 , shown in the figure is a multi-degree-of-freedom cab control console based on a steering wheel. The cab control console is not limited to being used in hovercraft, but can also be used in other water vehicles, land vehicles and air vehicles.

[0018] The cab control panel comprises: a control panel body 1. The control panel body 1 has a first control panel area 11 located on the left side and a second control panel area 12 located on the right side.

[0019] The first control panel area 11 has a control steering wheel 2. The control steering wheel 2 is used to control the driving direction of the vehicle. The control steering wheel 2 has a steering wheel body 21, a steering wheel rotation shaft 22, and a steering wheel handle 23 equipped with a key switch. The steering wheel body 21 is suspended above the first control panel area 11. The steering wheel body 21 is positioned in the first control panel area 11 through the steering wheel rotation shaft 22.

[0020] The steering wheel handle 23 is fixed to the steering wheel body 21 through a handle connecting rod 24. The steering wheel handle 23, the handle connecting rod 24, and the steering wheel body 21 form a whole. Through the steering wheel handle 23, the clockwise and / or counterclockwise rotation of the steering wheel body 21 and its rotation angle can be controlled to change the driving direction of the vehicle. The key switch configured on the steering wheel handle 23 is configured to output a control instruction according to its key state (such as pressing and popping up, long pressing and short pressing).

[0021] Preferably, the best position for controlling the steering wheel 2 is located close to the front half arm distance of the driver's side, which improves the control comfort and durability.

[0022] Preferably, the first area 11 of the control console has an indicator dial 3 related to the control steering wheel 2 for indicating functions.

[0023] Preferably, the handle connecting rod 24 has a first connecting rod section connected to the steering wheel handle 23 and a second connecting rod section connected to the steering wheel 2. The first connecting rod section and the second connecting rod section form an L-shaped structure. The axis of the first connecting rod section is perpendicular to the axis of the steering wheel handle 23. The axis of the second connecting rod section is perpendicular to the plane where the steering wheel body 21 is located.

[0024] Preferably, any one, any two or all three of the steering wheel body 21, the steering wheel handle 23 and the handle connecting rod 24 are covered by a non-plastic material layer that may be colored. The non-plastic material layer has a certain friction resistance to ensure its wear resistance and operability. Further, the non-plastic material layer is formed with concave-convex patterns or concave-convex points to enhance its friction and improve control reliability. Further, the non-plastic material layer of the steering wheel body 21, the non-plastic material layer of the steering wheel handle 23, and the non-plastic material layer of the handle connecting rod 24 are independent of each other and assembled separately to improve assembly convenience.

[0025] Preferably, the steering wheel body 21 and the first control panel area 11 have an inclination angle of 15°-30° to help the driver to better control and observe and improve the feasibility of control.

[0026] The second area 12 of the control panel has key switches 4, knob switches 5, etc. The key switches 4 are configured to output control instructions according to their key states. In this embodiment, there are 10 key switches 4, which are of the same shape and size, but output different control instructions.

[0027] Preferably, the key switch 4 is equipped with a backlight module. The backlight module is configured to determine whether to emit light according to the key state of the key switch 4. For example, the key switch 4 emits light when it is pressed, and stops emitting light when it is released.

[0028] The knob switch 5 is configured to output a control instruction according to its gear position. In this embodiment, there is one knob switch 5 with 16 switching gears, including 10 forward gears, 5 reverse gears, and 1 neutral gear.

[0029] Preferably, the second area 12 of the control console has a gear indicator plate 6 related to the knob switch 5. In this embodiment, the gear indicator plate has 16 gear marks, including 10 forward gear marks (corresponding to the 10 forward gears of the knob switch 5), 5 reverse gear marks (corresponding to the 5 reverse gears of the knob switch 5), and 1 neutral gear mark (corresponding to the 1 neutral gear of the knob switch 5). Further, the gear mark is configured with a backlight module. The backlight module is configured to determine whether it is illuminated according to the gear position of the knob switch 5. If the gear position of the knob switch 5 is at the gear mark, the backlight module of the gear mark is illuminated. If the gear position of the knob switch 5 is not at the gear mark, the backlight module of the gear mark stops emitting light. Further, different types of gear marks are configured with backlight modules of different colors. In this embodiment, the backlight module of the forward gear position mark is green, the backlight module of the reverse gear position mark is red, and the backlight module of the neutral gear position mark is white.

[0030] By operating the control steering wheel 2 in the first area 11 of the control panel, the button switch 4 and the knob switch 5 in the second area 12 of the control panel are operated in conjunction to control the driving state of the vehicle and realize multi-degree-of-freedom control.
