Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electric outboard motor gear position control, and in particular to an outboard motor gear shift mechanism with angle feedback applied to the electric outboard motor. Background Art

[0002] The existing hanging machine uses an external gear controller, and the gear control is performed by connecting the controller motor and the hanging machine shifting structure through a flexible shaft. Or the gear control is performed by directly driving the flexible shaft with the joystick. Its disadvantages are as follows:

[0003] 1. High cost - requires a separate gear controller, connecting flexible shaft, etc.

[0004] 2. Difficult to operate. If the gear is controlled directly by the joystick, it may be difficult to operate because the flexible shaft is arranged too long, and a lot of force is required to pull the handle to enter the desired gear.

[0005] 3. There is no feedback mechanism, so the gear shift position cannot be confirmed and it is impossible to judge whether the desired gear has been successfully entered. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an outboard motor shifting mechanism with angle feedback for use in an electric outboard motor, which has reasonable structural design, convenient operation, reliable operation, greatly reduced costs and strong practicality.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical scheme: a hook shift mechanism with angle feedback applied to an electric outboard hook, comprising a hook controller, a shift motor mounting plate, a shift motor, a round metal plate, a shift connecting plate, a fisheye bearing, a first cotter pin, a first hexagonal nut, a shift connecting rod, a shift connecting head, a second cotter pin, a second hexagonal nut, a shift cross bar, a sensor conversion shaft, a sensor mounting frame, a shift sensor, an insulating mounting column and a hexagonal bolt, the hook controller is mounted on the shift motor mounting plate, and a shift motor is provided at the lower part of the shift motor mounting plate. Motor, the output end of the shift motor is connected to one end of the shift connecting plate through a circular metal plate, the other end of the shift connecting plate is connected to the fisheye bearing through a first cotter pin, the fisheye bearing is connected to one end of the shift connecting rod through a first hexagonal nut, the other end of the shift connecting rod is connected to the shift connecting head, the shift connecting head is connected to one end of the shift cross bar through a second cotter pin and a second hexagonal nut, the other end of the shift cross bar is installed with a sensor mounting frame through another two second hexagonal nuts, the sensor mounting frame is provided with a sensor conversion shaft, and the sensor mounting frame is also installed with a shift sensor through a hexagonal bolt and an insulating mounting column.

[0008] Preferably, the on-hook controller is arranged inside the on-hook.

[0009] Preferably, the shift motor is a 12V brushless motor.

[0010] Preferably, the shift sensor is an angle sensor, and an inductive magnetic head is provided on the angle sensor.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Reduce costs: The gear controller is eliminated and integrated into the machine, requiring only a small motor as the actuator.

[0013] 2. Easy to operate: Information collection and processing is completed by the on-hook controller and controlled by the joystick, without the need to install an external soft shaft rope.

[0014] 3. Reliable operation: Add angle feedback function to detect the gear shifting operation and give timely alarm prompts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] It is worth noting that the on-hook controller 1 is arranged inside the on-hook.

[0020] It is worth noting that the shift motor 3 is a 12V brushless motor.

[0021] In addition, the shift sensor 16 is an angle sensor, and an inductive magnetic head is provided on the angle sensor.

[0022] In this specific implementation, the on-hook shift mechanism is installed inside the on-hook, the on-hook gear position is controlled through CAN protocol communication, and the gear position is detected by an angle sensor to achieve closed-loop control. The shift motor (12V brushless motor) is installed on the shift motor mounting plate, and the shift connecting plate is connected to the motor output end through a circular metal disk. The lower part of the shift connecting plate is connected to the fisheye bearing end of the shift connecting rod, and the other end is connected to the pin on the on-hook shift mechanism through a connector. The operation of the shift motor drives the shift connecting plate to swing left and right at a certain angle, and the connecting rod drives the shift mechanism to operate to achieve the desired gear position. An angle sensor sensing head is installed at the other end of the shift crossbar of the shift mechanism. According to the position change of the head, different voltages (0-5V) are output to detect whether the position of the shift mechanism has reached the desired position. If it has not reached the desired position, a corresponding alarm prompt is issued.

[0023] The specific implementation method integrates the gear shift actuator and feedback mechanism inside the hanging machine to form a closed loop, which increases the reliability of equipment operation. The actuator adopts a small motor integrated control, eliminates the flexible shaft pull rope, and facilitates the selection and installation of its own equipment and external operating levers.
