Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a multi-functional adjustment and fixing device for outboard motors. Background Technology

[0002] When speedboats are transported on land, their outboard motors usually need to be folded up to facilitate vehicle transport.

[0003] Currently, the main method for launching and retrieving speedboats is by manual labor, which not only increases the workload of workers but also raises time costs.

[0004] In addition, during water rescue missions, situations such as outboard motors becoming entangled in debris or malfunctioning, or outboard motors falling off, are frequently encountered.

[0005] Therefore, considering the shortcomings of existing technology, there is an urgent need to develop a device that facilitates the installation and storage of outboard motors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a multi-functional adjustment and fixing device for outboard motors. This device can conveniently fold the outboard motor onto the hull when the speedboat needs to be transported on land, facilitating vehicle transportation, avoiding damage to the propeller and other power structures, reducing manpower consumption during the handling of the outboard motor, lowering transfer costs, and facilitating its storage on land. Furthermore, when operating on water and encountering entanglement with debris or outboard motor malfunction, this device can quickly and completely move the outboard motor into the boat, allowing rescue personnel to clean and repair it from inside the boat, ensuring the safety of rescue personnel.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A multi-functional adjustment and fixing device for outboard motors includes a connecting frame, a hook platform, a sliding sleeve, a transverse guide rod, and a bracket. Two sets of transverse guide rods are provided, with the rear ends of the two sets mounted on the top of the stern plate via a rotating shaft. Brackets are provided at the front ends of the two sets of transverse guide rods, and the brackets are connected by a crossbar. When the outboard motor is retracted, the transverse guide rods are horizontally positioned, and the bottom ends of the brackets contact the bottom surface inside the hull for support. The rear end of the connecting frame is mounted on the transverse guide rod via a sliding sleeve, and the front end of the connecting frame... The lower end is equipped with a traveling wheel via an axle. The traveling wheel is placed on a transverse guide rod and can roll along the transverse guide rod. The boat outboard motor is installed on the connecting frame. At this time, the boat outboard motor is located between two sets of transverse guide rods. When the connecting frame moves along the transverse guide rods, the boat outboard motor moves along with it. A hook platform is set on the rear bottom of the connecting frame. When it moves to the stern plate, the crossbar and transverse guide rod are lifted as a whole, causing the connecting frame to rotate. The hook platform hooks onto the stern plate, and the boat outboard motor is lowered down from outside the stern plate, so that the propeller of the boat outboard motor is below the water surface.

[0008] A platform is provided on the bottom surface inside the boat compartment. When the boat's outboard motor is retracted, the lower end of the support is placed on the platform for support.

[0009] The connecting frame includes two sets of L-shaped plates, which are fixedly connected by multiple sets of crossbars.

[0010] The front end of the sliding sleeve is fixedly provided with an elastic clamping ring, which is fitted onto the transverse guide rod. The elastic clamping ring has a notch with a threaded hole that runs obliquely through both rings. The threads of the threaded holes on both rings are in the same direction. A bolt that passes through both threaded holes is screwed in. One end of the bolt has a handle. When the bolt at the handle is tightened to the end, the elastic clamping ring will be tightened, locking the transverse guide rod.

[0011] It also includes vertical guide rods, which are provided in two sets, respectively vertically installed on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the stern plate, corresponding to the tail ends of the two sets of horizontal guide rods; when the horizontal guide rods are raised, the tail ends of the horizontal guide rods are connected to the upper ends of the vertical guide rods, the hook platform is fastened to the stern plate, and the traveling wheels roll from the horizontal guide rods into the position of the vertical guide rods for auxiliary support.

[0012] A set of hook platforms is provided on each of the two sides of the rear bottom of the connecting frame.

[0013] It also includes a handle, the front end of the hook platform is provided with a threaded hole, and the upper end of the handle is provided with a fixing bolt, which is screwed into the threaded hole; the length of the fixing bolt is greater than the width of the threaded hole, and its top can protrude out of the threaded hole; after the hook platform hooks the stern plate, the top of its fixing bolt can be pushed against the stern plate by rotating the handle, thereby fixing the hook platform to the stern plate.

[0014] It also includes a shock-absorbing mechanism, which is located on the inner wall of the stern plate and is positioned corresponding to the hook platform. When the hook platform is fastened to the stern plate, the rear part of the hook platform is placed on the shock-absorbing mechanism, which is used to buffer the gravity pressure of the outboard motor when it is launched and reduce the transmission of vibration.

[0015] Each set of hook platforms is equipped with a set of shock absorption mechanisms. Each set includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and a spring. The bottom plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the stern plate. The lower end of the spring is fixedly installed on the bottom plate. The top plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the spring. There are 1-3 sets of springs.

[0016] It also includes a foot hook, which includes a connecting rod, a hook rod, and a foot rod; a hinge seat is provided on the middle part of the inner wall of the stern plate, the rear end of the connecting rod is hinged to the hinge seat, and the front end of the connecting rod is hinged to the upper middle part of the hook rod; the rear end of the foot rod is hinged to the lower middle part of the hook rod, and the front end of the foot rod extends forward of the boat; a hook is provided at the top of the hook rod, which is used to hook the connecting frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The multi-functional adjustment and fixing device for outboard motors of the present invention, through a connecting frame connected to the outboard motor of the boat, and in combination with hook platform, sliding sleeve, transverse guide rod, bracket and other combined structures, can place the outboard motor horizontally on the hull when the outboard motor is retracted, thereby facilitating the placement of the entire boat on a transport vehicle and enabling convenient land transportation.

[0018] When entering the water, the combined structure of the connecting frame, traveling wheels, sliding sleeve, horizontal guide rod, crossbar, and vertical guide rod can lift the outboard motor of the boat as a whole and place it vertically. The propeller of the outboard motor is placed in the water, and the vertical guide rod provides it with support. At the same time, the hook on the connecting frame hooks onto the stern plate of the boat to provide support for the outboard motor, thus facilitating the operation of the boat.

[0019] When operations cease, the hinged joints between the components on the foot hook form a support lever, lifting the connecting frame of the outboard motor. This lifts the entire outboard motor, lateral guide rod, crossbar, and support structure. A slight pull on the crossbar allows the outboard motor, lateral guide rod, and crossbar to be easily restored to a horizontal position simultaneously, greatly reducing manpower consumption during outboard motor handling. Furthermore, in case of emergency malfunctions, the outboard motor can be quickly retracted, facilitating on-site cleaning and repair within the boat and ensuring the safety of rescue personnel.

[0020] The design of the hook platform and the stern plate of the present invention, as well as the vertical guide rod providing auxiliary support to the traveling wheels, firmly fixes the outboard motor to the stern of the boat, preventing the outboard motor from falling off in harsh environments and ensuring driving safety.

[0021] The multi-functional adjustment and fixing device for outboard motors of the present invention enables simple and convenient use and storage of outboard motors for boats, effectively reducing manpower consumption. At the same time, it solves the problems of troublesome disassembly and cumbersome storage of outboard motors for boats, facilitating their land transportation. Storing outboard motors for boats inside the boat cabin also better protects the propellers of outboard motors, preventing them from being constantly placed on the ground, reducing damage to their mechanical structure, and extending the service life of the equipment.
