Detailed Implementation

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0013] Water propulsion devices, such as outboard motors, are detachable power units that are suspended from the stern of boats, dinghies, or other mobile water-based equipment to propel them.

[0014] In actual operation, it is often necessary to control the output power of the water propulsion system to ensure navigation performance, safety and equipment reliability.

[0015] Power control of the propulsion system can be based on monitoring the operating parameters of the thruster and related components (such as temperature, voltage, current, load, etc.) and dynamically adjusting the maximum output power accordingly. Specifically, when the system detects an abnormal state (such as over-temperature, abnormal voltage, excessive current, or overload faults), it reduces the maximum output power of the propulsion system from the first output power (rated or full power) during normal operation to a second output power (drated or safety-limited power). The second output power is less than the first output power, thereby limiting the thruster thrust and preventing further deterioration of the fault or equipment damage. After the fault is cleared, the power recovery method in related technologies generally adopts a direct recovery strategy. That is, when the fault condition disappears, the system restores the maximum output power from the second output power to the first output power, allowing the thruster to regain normal performance. This recovery method is simple to implement and can quickly respond to the elimination of the fault.

[0016] However, the power recovery methods in related technologies have the following problems: changes in power levels may be abrupt, causing rapid changes in propeller thrust, which can easily cause sudden acceleration of the vessel, affecting maneuverability and navigation safety; in addition, when the fault is intermittent, the power level may fluctuate frequently, causing unstable propeller thrust, affecting driving smoothness and ride experience, and may also exacerbate stress fatigue of mechanical components, shortening equipment life.

[0017] To address the technical problem of abrupt power fluctuations affecting maneuverability and navigation safety, this application provides a solution. The basic idea is to adjust the maximum output power from a first output power to a second output power when a fault is detected, thereby limiting the thruster output, ensuring equipment safety, and preventing fault escalation. Upon fault recovery, instead of a direct instantaneous recovery strategy, it further determines whether preset power recovery conditions are met. Only when these conditions are met is the output power adjusted back to the first output power; otherwise, the second output power is maintained until the conditions are met. This conditional recovery control method avoids sudden thrust spikes caused by abrupt power increases after a fault disappears, as well as repeated power jumps during intermittent faults, thus ensuring maneuverability and safety during navigation, improving the driving experience and equipment reliability, reducing mechanical stress fatigue caused by power instability, and improving the overall resource utilization and operational efficiency of the waterborne thruster power system.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The implementation details of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a power control method for a propulsion system provided in this application. This method can be applied to aquatic propulsion devices. An aquatic propulsion device can refer to a device installed on aquatic mobile equipment such as boats to provide propulsion power, such as an electric outboard motor, a hybrid propulsion system, or an internal combustion engine propulsion device. Specifically, this method can be applied to the power system controller (such as an embedded microcontroller (MCU) or electronic control unit (ECU) of the aquatic propulsion device). The controller is equipped with a processor, memory, and interfaces for acquiring sensor signals and outputting control signals.

[0021] Figure 1 The power control method for the power system shown may include the following steps: 101: Detect the fault status of the water propulsion device.

[0022] 102: In the event of a fault, the maximum output power of the power system is adjusted from the first output power to the second output power, wherein the second output power is less than the second output power.

[0023] In one embodiment of this application, a fault state can refer to an abnormal condition of the thruster or power system detected by sensors, such as, but not limited to, motor or battery overheating, abnormal voltage, excessive current, overload operation, or sensor failure. Once the controller detects these abnormalities, it is identified as a fault state.

[0024] The first output power can refer to the maximum permissible output power of the power system under normal, fault-free conditions, such as the rated power of the thruster under full throttle or full load conditions, which usually corresponds to the maximum design speed and thrust capability of a waterborne thruster. The second output power can refer to the maximum output power limited to ensure safety under fault conditions, and its value is less than the first output power, for example, 50%-80% of the first output power. The specific value can be preset in the controller memory according to the thruster type and safety requirements.

[0025] 103: If fault recovery is detected, determine whether the power recovery conditions are met.

[0026] The power recovery condition can refer to a pre-set control criterion used to determine whether it is permissible to recover from the second output power to the first output power. This condition may include one or more preset rules, such as judgments based on the current operating status of the water thruster (e.g., whether parameters such as throttle opening, gear position, or speed are within a safe range), or confirmations based on external inputs (e.g., driver operating commands). The specific form of these conditions can be stored in the controller and configured according to different types of water thrusters to ensure the safe and controllable power recovery process.

[0027] 104: If the fault recovery conditions are met, adjust the maximum output power to the first output power; otherwise, maintain the second output power until the power recovery conditions are met.

[0028] During operation, the controller can periodically execute power control methods. First, the controller monitors the fault status of the water thruster in real time through sensor interfaces. For example, the controller can collect signals from temperature sensors, voltage sensors, current sensors, etc., and compare them with preset thresholds to determine if a fault exists. Once a fault is detected, the controller immediately adjusts the maximum output power of the power system from a first output power to a second output power. For example, when calculating the currently allowed maximum output power, the controller directly uses the second output power as the upper limit and accordingly limits the power output command to the thruster (such as a motor or engine), thereby reducing thrust and preventing the fault from worsening or causing equipment damage.

[0029] When the fault condition disappears, i.e., the controller detects fault recovery (e.g., temperature returns to normal, voltage and current return to safe ranges), the controller does not immediately restore the maximum output power to the first output power. Instead, it further determines whether the power recovery conditions are met. The controller reads current operating parameters or external signals to determine if the preset power recovery conditions are met. If the power recovery conditions are met, such as the current operating state meeting safety criteria or receiving a corresponding confirmation signal, the controller adjusts the maximum output power back to the first output power, restoring the thruster to normal performance. If the power recovery conditions are not met, the controller continues to maintain the maximum output power at the second output power until the conditions are met in subsequent detections.

[0030] For example, in a typical application scenario, the water propulsion unit is an electric outboard motor with a first output power set to 2000W and a second output power set to 1000W. During normal boat navigation, the maximum output power is 2000W. When the controller detects a battery overheating fault, it immediately limits the maximum output power to 1000W, and the water propulsion unit enters a low-speed safety mode. After the overheating fault is resolved, if the power recovery conditions are not met (e.g., the water propulsion unit is still at high throttle), the 1000W upper limit is maintained; only when the power recovery conditions are met will it return to 2000W.

[0031] This control method effectively avoids the sudden increase in thrust caused by the power surge during fault recovery, ensuring the stability of the vessel's handling and navigation safety.

[0032] In some embodiments, adjusting the maximum output power of the power system from a first output power to a second output power in the event of a fault detection can be specifically implemented as follows: In the event of a fault detection, acquire the power lock state variables; Set the power lock state variable from the first variable value to the second variable value; If the power lock state variable is detected to have been changed from the first variable value to the second variable value, the maximum output power will be adjusted from the first output power to the second output power.

[0033] In some embodiments, to reliably and controllably adjust the maximum output power of the power system from a first output power to a second output power when a fault is detected, a power lock state variable can be introduced as a control intermediary. This power lock state variable can be a state flag stored in the controller's memory, such as a Boolean or enumerated variable, used to record and maintain the power limit lock status independently of real-time fault conditions. Specifically, a first variable value represents the power lock's released state (e.g., a value of 0), corresponding to the normal mode where the first output power is allowed; a second variable value represents the power lock's locked state (e.g., a value of 1), corresponding to the derating mode where the second output power is forced to be used.

[0034] When the controller detects a fault in the water thruster, it first obtains the current value of the power lock state variable, then sets it from the first variable value to the second variable value, thereby locking the power lock. Subsequently, the controller detects in its power calculation logic that the power lock state variable has changed to the second variable value, and can adjust the maximum output power of the power system from the first output power to the second output power accordingly. Specifically, when determining the currently allowed maximum output power, the controller can first check the power lock state variable: if the variable is the second variable value, it directly uses the preset second output power as the upper limit, and accordingly limits the power command output to the thruster, for example, by adjusting the duty cycle of the motor drive signal or the throttle opening to achieve power reduction control.

[0035] This power lock state variable-based implementation ensures a clear unidirectional mandatory nature to the power reduction process after a fault is triggered. Once a fault occurs, the power lock is immediately engaged, ensuring the system promptly enters a safe derating mode, unaffected by previous states or brief fault fluctuations. For example, in one application, when the controller detects a motor overheating fault via a temperature sensor, it immediately sets the power lock state variable to the second variable value. Subsequently, in the next control cycle, the maximum output power is limited from 2000W (first output power) to 1000W (second output power), effectively reducing the thermal load and protecting the equipment.

[0036] In some embodiments, adjusting the maximum output power to the first output power when the fault recovery conditions are met can be specifically implemented as follows: If the fault recovery conditions are met, the power lock state variable will be changed from the second variable value to the first variable value; If the power lock state variable is detected to have been changed from the second variable value to the first variable value, the maximum output power will be adjusted from the second output power to the first output power.

[0037] In some embodiments, a power lock state variable can be used as the core control intermediary to reliably and controllably adjust the maximum output power of the power system from the second output power back to the first output power when the fault recovery conditions are met.

[0038] When the controller determines that the power recovery conditions have been met, such as based on the current operating status of the water thruster or an external confirmation signal, it first sets the power lock status variable from the second variable value (representing a locked state, e.g., a value of 1) to the first variable value (representing a released state, e.g., a value of 0), thereby actively releasing the power lock restriction. Subsequently, in the subsequent power calculation logic, the controller detects that the power lock status variable has changed to the first variable value, and can adjust the maximum output power of the power system from the second output power to the first output power accordingly. For example, when determining the currently allowed maximum output power, the controller can first query the status of the power lock status variable: if the variable is the first variable value, it directly adopts the preset first output power as the upper limit, and accordingly relaxes the power command output to the water thruster, for example, by increasing the duty cycle of the motor drive signal, increasing the fuel supply, or optimizing energy distribution, to achieve gradual or complete recovery of the thruster's thrust.

[0039] This power lock-based recovery mechanism provides a clear conditional triggering mechanism for power adjustment. The release of the power lock is a necessary prerequisite, ensuring the system does not automatically restore normal power before all conditions are met, thus effectively preventing potential thrust surges or maneuvering risks. For example, in a practical application scenario, once the overheating fault of the electric boat's outboard motor has disappeared and the power recovery conditions (such as throttle depth below a preset threshold and receipt of a driver confirmation command) are met, the controller first sets the power lock state variable to its first value. Then, in the immediate following control cycle, it restores the maximum output power from 1000W (second output power) to 2000W (first output power), enabling the water propulsion system to safely return to normal navigation performance.

[0040] In some embodiments, the power recovery condition includes at least one of the following: Received fault recovery command; The throttle depth is below the preset threshold; The gear is in neutral; The speed is lower than the preset speed threshold.

[0041] Receiving a fault recovery command can refer to the controller detecting a clear confirmation signal from the driver or operator through the user interface or communication bus. This could be achieved by the driver pressing a dedicated "Power Recovery" button on the instrument panel, confirming via a touchscreen dialog box, or sending a recovery command via a remote control. This command serves as a manual intervention measure, ensuring that power recovery is only permitted after the driver assesses the current water environment (e.g., unobstructed, open water) and actively confirms safety, thus providing the highest level of active safety control.

[0042] Throttle depth below a preset threshold means that the controller collects the position signal of the accelerator pedal or lever in real time and determines whether its opening is less than a preset value, such as less than 20% or 10%. This threshold can be stored in the controller's memory and adjusted according to the water propulsion model. This condition ensures that power recovery only occurs under low load conditions where the driver does not request a large amount of thrust, avoiding thrust overload caused by a sudden increase in power when high throttle demand is required.

[0043] The gear being in neutral means that the controller detects through the gear position sensor or transmission system signal that the propeller is currently in neutral (N gear), i.e., there is no forward or reverse power transmission. This condition applies to water propulsion systems with clearly defined gear shifts, ensuring that power recovery occurs when the vessel is stationary or has no power output, further enhancing the safety of the recovery process.

[0044] A speed below a preset speed threshold means that the controller obtains the current speed of the vessel through speed sensors (such as GPS, wheel speed sensors, or water speed gauges) and determines whether it is lower than a preset value, such as below 5 km / h or 3 knots. This condition is directly based on the actual motion state of the vessel to prevent stability problems that may be caused by restoring full power at higher speeds.

[0045] In practical applications, the controller can be configured to require multiple conditions to be met simultaneously. For example, power recovery is considered complete only when a fault recovery command is received and the gear is in neutral. Alternatively, in some simplified modes, recovery can be triggered by meeting only one condition. This flexible combination of conditions makes the method applicable to various water propulsion scenarios, from small recreational boats to large vessels. For instance, in an electric outboard motor system, after a fault recovery, the controller detects that the boat speed has dropped below a preset speed threshold and is in neutral, with the throttle depth at zero. In this case, power can be automatically restored even without manual commands. However, under more stringent safety configurations, an additional fault recovery command from the operator is required.

[0046] In some embodiments, after adjusting the maximum output power of the power system from a first output power to a second output power, the method further includes: Set the first timer; In some embodiments, determining whether the power recovery condition is met can be specifically implemented as follows: Get the first duration of the first timer; If the preset duration is reached during the first timing period, the power recovery condition is determined to be met.

[0047] In some embodiments, to further optimize the power management process after fault recovery, after adjusting the maximum output power of the power system from a first output power to a second output power, a first timer can be set as a control aid in the time dimension. This first timer can be a software or hardware-implemented timer module stored in the controller memory, used to accumulate the fault-free duration after fault recovery. This can be achieved, for example, by periodically incrementing a counter variable by the processor, with units of seconds, milliseconds, or control cycles, depending on the system's real-time requirements.

[0048] When determining whether the power recovery condition is met, the controller first obtains the first timing duration of the first timer, that is, reads the current accumulated value, and then determines whether the timing duration has reached the preset duration. The preset duration is a configurable parameter stored in the controller, for example, set to 30 seconds to 5 minutes, and adjusted according to the type of water propulsion and safety standards.

[0049] If the first timing duration reaches or exceeds the preset duration, the controller determines that the power recovery condition is met, thereby allowing the maximum output power to be adjusted back to the first output power; otherwise, the second output power is maintained.

[0050] This timer-based mechanism introduces a delayed recovery strategy, ensuring that the system has sufficient observation time to confirm stability after a fault is resolved, avoiding premature recovery caused by brief fault-free intervals. For example, in one application scenario, when the voltage anomaly fault of the electric boat's outboard motor disappears, the controller starts the first timer and begins accumulating. If no new fault occurs within a preset 60 seconds, the recovery condition is considered met, and the system returns to the first output power, thus achieving intelligent power management while ensuring safety.

[0051] In some embodiments, the method may further include: If the first timer fails to reach the preset duration and a fault is detected, the first timer is reset.

[0052] In some embodiments, to enhance robustness to intermittent faults, the first timer can be reset if the first timing duration has not reached the preset duration and a fault is detected again.

[0053] The reset operation means that the controller clears the accumulated value of the first timer to zero or reinitializes it to the starting value, such as 0, thereby interrupting the current recovery timing process and restarting the accumulation.

[0054] This mechanism ensures that if repeated fluctuations occur after a fault recovery, the system will not incorrectly meet the recovery conditions based on incomplete fault-free periods. Instead, it will forcibly extend the observation time until a continuous and stable fault-free period is achieved. For example, when the controller periodically monitors the fault status during the fault recovery phase, if a new fault signal (such as a sudden excessive current) is detected during the first timer accumulation period, a reset operation is immediately performed, while maintaining the maximum output power at the second output power to avoid potential power jump risks. For example, in a hybrid propulsion system for boats, if an overtemperature signal reappears within 30 seconds of the timer after fault recovery, the controller will reset the timer and continue derated operation until the subsequent fault-free period accumulates to the preset duration.

[0055] In some embodiments, adjusting the maximum output power to the first output power can be specifically implemented as follows: Gradually adjust from the second output power to the first output power.

[0056] In some embodiments, to make the power recovery process smoother and more controllable, adjusting the maximum output power to the first output power can be done gradually from the second output power to the first output power.

[0057] This gradual adjustment refers to the controller not using instantaneous step switching, but rather gradually increasing the upper limit of the maximum output power through a continuous or step-by-step incremental control algorithm. For example, it calculates intermediate transition values ​​based on a preset incremental curve or proportional function, thereby achieving a gentle change in thrust and avoiding abrupt thrust increases that could lead to instability in the vessel's handling. In one possible implementation, after the power recovery conditions are met, the controller activates a gradual recovery module. This module can dynamically calculate the current maximum output power based on time, load, or other parameters, for example, using linear interpolation or an exponential function to gradually approach the first output power from a second output power until it is fully reached.

[0058] For example, in an electric outboard motor application, once the fault is recovered and conditions are met, the controller gradually increases from 1000W (second output power) up to 2000W (first output power) to provide a smoother acceleration transition.

[0059] In some embodiments, the gradual adjustment from the second output power to the first output power can be specifically implemented as follows: Within a preset recovery time, the second output power is gradually increased to the first output power.

[0060] In some embodiments, the gradual adjustment from the second output power to the first output power can be achieved by progressively increasing the second output power to the first output power within a preset recovery time. This preset recovery time can be a configurable parameter stored in the controller, for example, set to 5 to 30 seconds, specifically adjustable according to the vessel's dynamic response and safety requirements. Within this time, the controller calculates and applies incremental values ​​step-by-step through a timing mechanism. In one possible implementation, the controller starts a recovery timer during the recovery phase and gradually increases the maximum output power based on the proportion or step size of the currently elapsed time, for example, using a linear increment mode. The current power value is equal to the second output power plus the progress product (first output power minus second output power), where the progress is the current time divided by the preset recovery time. This gradual increase ensures the continuity and predictability of power changes, avoiding mechanical stress and thermal shock. For example, in a practical scenario, with a preset recovery time of 10 seconds, the controller starts with a second output power of 1000W, increasing by 100W per second until reaching the first output power of 2000W after 10 seconds, thus achieving a seamless and smooth recovery.
