Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship steering wheel technology, and more specifically, to a ship steering wheel structure and a ship. Background Technology

[0002] The ship's steering wheel is a crucial human-machine interface component for controlling the ship's course. With the development of shipbuilding technology, hydrofoils, as high-performance vessels that rely on hydrofoil lift to propel themselves above the water at high speeds, place stringent demands on the intuitiveness, timeliness, and operational safety of their control mechanisms due to their high speed and extremely sensitive response to changes in water waves. During the operation of high-performance vessels, the operator not only needs to keep their eyes fixed on the water ahead to quickly make obstacle avoidance and steering decisions, but also needs to be able to seamlessly and in real-time read core operational data such as the ship's speed, attitude, and surface control parameters for precise control under complex and ever-changing navigation conditions.

[0003] However, existing ship steering wheel structures are generally inadequate for the specific driving requirements of high-performance vessels like hydrofoils. On one hand, if the display screen is integrated into the rotating body of the existing steering wheel, the screen rotates with the control components, causing the image and text to be inverted, making it difficult to read in a very short time. Even in designs where the display screen is stationary, the screen is too far from the driver's eyes, making it difficult to focus and read the information quickly and accurately in high-speed and changing navigation environments. Furthermore, the rotating handle can easily obstruct the driver's view when turned, causing visual interference with critical operational information. This can easily lead to momentary driver distraction and operational errors in high-speed hydrofoils. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a ship steering wheel structure suitable for high-performance vessels like hydrofoils. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ship steering wheel structure and a ship that solves the problem that existing displays are not convenient for quickly reading information.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A ship steering wheel structure includes a throttle, a display screen, and a frame; The frame extends at least partially along the Z direction, and the display screen is fixedly disposed above the frame; The throttle includes a grip, an extension frame, and a rotating frame. The grip is fixedly connected to the rotating frame via the extension frame, and the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the frame so that the display screen does not rotate synchronously with the throttle. The extension frame extends upward from the rotating frame and outward in a direction away from the display screen so that the projection of the throttle on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction is offset from the projection of the display screen on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the position of the gripping part in the Z direction is not higher than the position of the display screen in the Z direction; Alternatively, the height of the grip in the Z direction is greater than the height of the display screen in the Z direction, and when the angle between the Z direction and the vertical direction is less than or equal to a preset angle, the projection of the grip on the horizontal plane and the projection of the display screen on the horizontal plane are offset from each other.

[0007] Furthermore, a first toothed transmission component is fixed inside the rotating frame. The first toothed transmission component meshes with a second toothed transmission component. The second toothed transmission component is connected to an angle sensor so that the angle sensor can obtain the rotation angle of the throttle.

[0008] Furthermore, the second toothed transmission member is located inside the first toothed transmission member and meshes with the first toothed transmission member, and the rotation center of the first toothed transmission member is eccentrically set with respect to the rotation center of the second toothed transmission member.

[0009] Furthermore, the extension frame is provided with a wiring groove with an opening on one side, the wiring groove extending from the grip to the rotating frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the rotating frame is open to form a receiving cavity, and the first toothed transmission member is disposed in the receiving cavity; the rotating frame is provided with a cover plate covering the upper end opening of the rotating frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a first mounting plate located below the rotating frame, and the first mounting plate is provided with a flange extending toward the interior of the rotating frame; The frame is provided with a second mounting plate corresponding to the cover plate, and a bearing is installed between the cover plate and the second mounting plate. A sealing ring is provided on the side of the bearing near the cover plate.

[0012] Furthermore, on the projection plane perpendicular to the Z direction, the width of the first mounting plate is not less than the length of the rotating frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the first mounting plate is provided with a first wire sleeve extending toward the interior of the rotating frame, and the first wire sleeve and the second toothed transmission member do not overlap on the projection surface of the first mounting plate; the second mounting plate is provided with a second wire sleeve extending toward the side away from the rotating frame, and the second wire sleeve protrudes from the rotating frame; The first wire sleeve is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate by a plurality of support columns; the plurality of support columns are spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0014] Furthermore, a secondary screen is provided on one side of the display screen, and the secondary screen is electrically connected to the display screen; Both the grip and the extension frame are provided in twos, and each grip is connected to the corresponding extension frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a first bracket and a second bracket extending along the Z direction below the display screen, and the first bracket and the second bracket are connected by a third bracket extending perpendicular to the Z direction; the second bracket is fixedly connected to the second wire sleeve by a fourth bracket extending perpendicular to the Z direction. The second bracket is located on the side of the first bracket facing the central axis of the skeleton.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a functional seat located below the first mounting plate; The first wire sleeve is connected to the interior of the functional seat.

[0017] A vessel, including the aforementioned ship steering wheel structure; The ship steering wheel structure is used to adjust the ship's direction.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The ship steering wheel structure provided by this invention is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating bracket. When the driver grips the grip and applies a turning torque, the rotating bracket only drives the throttle to rotate without synchronously rotating the display screen, ensuring the display screen remains oriented stably and facilitating quick reading of information. Simultaneously, the extension bracket extends the grip upwards and away from the display screen, causing the projection of the throttle on a plane perpendicular to the Z-direction to be offset from the projection of the display screen on the same plane. This ensures the throttle does not interfere with viewing the display screen during rotation, improving visibility. Furthermore, the display screen is directly mounted on the ship steering wheel structure, effectively shortening the physical distance between the display screen and the driver's eyes, allowing the driver to quickly and clearly read screen information without significantly shifting their gaze during navigation. This design is suitable for high-performance vessels like hydrofoils operating in rapidly changing water conditions where the driver needs to obtain steering and navigation information promptly and make quick operational decisions.

[0024] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component positioned centrally in the connection.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1: This embodiment provides a ship steering wheel structure, installed on a ship, which can keep the display screen facing stably so as to display information without obstruction. Combined with... Figures 1-5As shown, the ship's steering wheel structure includes a throttle 1, a display screen 2, and a frame 3. The frame 3 extends at least partially along the Z-direction, and the display screen 2 is fixedly mounted above the frame 3 to facilitate the driver's observation and operation. It should be noted that the Z-direction refers to the overall length direction of the ship's steering wheel structure, not necessarily the vertical direction. In specific embodiments, under the ship's natural state, such as during non-moving operations, the Z-direction can be parallel to the vertical direction or inclined relative to it. The key is to support the display screen 2 at a position and height that facilitates the driver's observation and operation. The throttle 1 includes a grip 11, an extension frame 12, and a rotating frame 13. The grip 11 is used by the driver to hold and apply a turning torque to drive the throttle 1 to rotate and control the ship's steering wheel structure. The grip 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 13 via the extension frame 12. The rotating frame 13 is rotatably connected to the frame 3 so that the display screen 2 does not rotate synchronously with the throttle 1, thereby maintaining the stable display orientation of the display screen 2 and preventing the display screen 2 from deflecting when the throttle 1 rotates, facilitating continuous observation and operation by the driver. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown; the extension frame 12 extends upward from the rotating frame 13 and outward in a direction away from the display screen 2, so that the projection of the throttle 1 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction is offset from the projection of the display screen 2 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction. This keeps the grip part 11 and the display screen 2 spatially misaligned, reducing the obstruction of the display screen 2 when the driver grips and rotates the throttle 1, and avoiding interference between the grip part 11 and the display screen 2, thereby improving display visibility and ease of operation.

[0028] In practice, after the driver grips the grip 11 and applies a turning torque, the grip 11 drives the rotating frame 13 to rotate relative to the frame 3 via the extension frame 12. The rotating frame 13 only drives the throttle 1 to rotate without driving the display screen 2 to rotate synchronously, so that the display screen 2 always maintains a stable orientation, thus facilitating the driver to quickly read the information on the display screen 2. At the same time, the extension frame 12 extends the grip 11 upward and away from the display screen 2, so that the projection of the throttle 1 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction is offset from the projection of the display screen 2 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction, thus ensuring that the throttle 1 does not interfere with the observation of the display screen 2 during rotation, improving the visibility of the display screen 2. In addition, the display screen 2 is directly mounted on the ship's steering wheel structure, effectively shortening the physical distance between the display screen 2 and the driver's eyes, allowing the driver to quickly and clearly read the screen information without significantly shifting their gaze during navigation.

[0029] In high-performance vessels like hydrofoils, the ship travels at high speeds and has a highly sensitive maneuverability. The operator needs to obtain steering and navigation information promptly and make quick operational decisions in rapidly changing water conditions. Therefore, extending the grip 11 upwards and away from the display screen 2 via the extension frame 12 ensures good maneuverability of the throttle 1 while preventing it from obstructing the display content of the display screen 2 during rotation. This keeps the display screen 2 in a stable orientation and provides good visibility, allowing the operator to read the ship's operational information displayed on the display screen 2 and the secondary screen 21 in real time while maintaining control. This improves the intuitiveness of human-machine interaction, operational efficiency, and navigation safety.

[0030] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the grip portion 11 is positioned no higher than the display screen 2 in the Z direction; thus, the grip portion 11 is located below or at the same height as the display screen 2 in the Z direction, preventing the grip portion 11 from obstructing the display screen 2 and facilitating the driver's observation of the information on the display screen 2. Especially in high-performance vessels such as hydrofoils, due to their high speed, the hull typically tilts inward or outward when turning to balance centrifugal force and hydrodynamics; the bow may rise during acceleration; and the bow may drop during deceleration or when encountering swells. These attitude changes cause the frame 3 to deflect relative to the vertical direction, resulting in a tilt in the Z direction relative to the vertical direction. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the grip portion 11 does not obstruct the display screen 2 under different navigation conditions. Alternatively, the height of the gripping part 11 in the Z direction is greater than the height of the display screen 2 in the Z direction, and when the angle between the Z direction and the vertical direction is less than or equal to a preset angle, the tilt angle of the ship's hull is less than or equal to the preset angle. The projection of the gripping part 11 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the display screen 2 on the horizontal plane are offset from each other, so that the gripping part 11 can still avoid obstructing the display screen 2 under the ship's sailing attitude, ensuring that the display screen 2 has good visibility. In a specific embodiment, the preset angle is the maximum allowable tilt angle of the ship's hull under normal sailing conditions.

[0031] In practical implementation, when high-performance vessels like hydrofoils are in motion, due to their high speed, the hull typically tilts inward or outward during turns to balance centrifugal force and hydrodynamics; during acceleration, the bow may rise; and during deceleration or when encountering swells, the bow may drop. These attitude changes cause the frame 3 to deflect relative to the vertical direction, resulting in a tilt in the Z-direction relative to the vertical direction. Therefore, under different navigation conditions, it is necessary to ensure that the grip 11 does not obstruct the display screen 2. In this embodiment, the ship steering wheel structure sets the position of the grip 11 in the Z-direction to be no higher than the position of the display screen 2 in the Z-direction, or the height of the grip 11 in the Z-direction is greater than the height of the display screen 2 in the Z-direction. Furthermore, when the angle between the Z-direction and the vertical direction is less than or equal to a preset angle, the projection of the grip 11 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the display screen 2 on the horizontal plane are offset from each other. This ensures that the grip 11 does not obstruct the display screen 2 under the ship's navigation posture, guaranteeing good visibility of the display screen 2.

[0032] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, a first toothed transmission component 41 is fixed inside the rotating frame 13. The first toothed transmission component 41 meshes with a second toothed transmission component 42. The second toothed transmission component 42 is connected to an angle sensor 43 so that the angle sensor 43 can acquire the rotation angle of the throttle 1. That is, when the throttle 1 is rotated around the axis of the rotating frame 13, the rotating frame 13 drives the first toothed transmission component 41 to rotate synchronously. The first toothed transmission component 41 drives the second toothed transmission component 42 to rotate through the meshing tooth profile, thereby causing the input end of the angle sensor 43 to generate a corresponding deflection. This allows the angle sensor 43 to continuously collect the electrical signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the rotating frame 13 in real time. The electrical signal can be transmitted to the ship's steering gear control system, and the steering gear control system can control the ship's steering gear action according to the electrical signal, thereby realizing the ship's steering wheel structure described in this embodiment for controlling the ship's direction. In a specific embodiment, the angle sensor 43 is mounted on a sensor mounting plate 44, which is fixed below the first mounting plate 31. In a specific embodiment, the first toothed transmission component 41 is a gear ring, and the second toothed transmission component 42 is a gear. The second toothed transmission component 42 is located inside the first toothed transmission component 41 and meshes internally with it. The rotation center of the first toothed transmission component 41 and the rotation center of the second toothed transmission component 42 are eccentrically set. This makes the internal meshing transmission mechanism formed by the second toothed transmission component 42 and the first toothed transmission component 41 more compact, effectively saving the internal space of the ship's steering wheel structure. Moreover, the meshing point between the second toothed transmission component 42 and the first toothed transmission component 41 is located inside the first toothed transmission component 41, which provides a shielding and protection function in terms of physical structure. Furthermore, the angle sensor 43 does not need to be exposed, making it less susceptible to hard impacts from external objects, thereby improving the working environment of the angle sensor 43, ensuring the accuracy of the angle detection signal output, and extending the service life of the angle sensor 43.

[0033] Two grips 11 and two extension frames 12 are provided, and each grip 11 is connected to a corresponding extension frame 12 to form a structure on both sides of the rotating frame 13 for the driver to hold and operate with both hands. In a specific embodiment, both grips 11 are semi-circular. In a specific embodiment, the two grips 11 and the two extension frames 12 are symmetrically arranged. Since the two grips 11 and the two extension frames 12 are distributed on both sides of the rotating frame 13, and the extension frames 12 extend upward from the rotating frame 13 and outward in a direction away from the display screen 2, the projection of the throttle 1 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction can stably avoid the projection range of the display screen 2, reducing the risk of the grips 11 obstructing the display screen 2. At the same time, the display screen 2 remains visible and unobstructed when the driver holds the grips 11 with both hands to perform steering operations. The extension frame 12 is provided with a wiring groove 121 with an opening on one side. The wiring groove 121 extends from the grip part 11 to the rotating frame 13 to form a wiring channel for the wiring harness to pass through. Wiring can be done in advance or after installation, which is flexible in operation. Moreover, the wiring harness can be stored inside the extension frame 12 to avoid interference with the driver's hands, clothing or surrounding parts after the wiring harness is exposed.

[0034] The upper end of the rotating frame 13 is open, forming a receiving cavity 131, and the first toothed transmission member 41 is disposed within the receiving cavity 131. The rotating frame 13 is provided with a cover plate 132 covering the upper opening of the rotating frame 13. In a specific embodiment, the cover plate 132 is rotatably connected to the frame 3. The frame 3 is provided with a first mounting plate 31 located below the rotating frame 13, the first mounting plate 31 being used to support the rotating frame 13, combined with... Figure 10As shown, the first mounting plate 31 is provided with a flange 311 extending toward the interior of the rotating frame 13. The flange 311 cooperates with the lower edge of the rotating frame 13 to form a circumferential limit on the accommodating cavity 131 and to shield and seal the interior of the accommodating cavity 131, preventing external moisture, dust or debris from entering the accommodating cavity 131 from the gap between the first mounting plate 31 and the rotating frame 13. The frame 3 is provided with a second mounting plate 32 corresponding to the cover plate 132. A bearing 51 is installed between the cover plate 132 and the second mounting plate 32. The bearing 51 is used to support the cover plate 132 to rotate relative to the second mounting plate 32 and reduce the frictional resistance when the cover plate 132 rotates. A sealing ring 52 is provided on the side of the bearing 51 near the cover plate 132. The sealing ring 52 can seal the circumferential gap of the bearing 51 to prevent water, dust or oil from entering the accommodating cavity 131, thereby forming a sealed protection for the inside of the accommodating cavity 131 when the cover plate 132 rotates. On the projection plane perpendicular to the Z direction, the width of the first mounting plate 31 is not less than the length of the rotating frame 13, so that the bottom of the rotating frame 13 is always covered by the first mounting plate 31 during the rotation process. This continuously shields the transmission area below the rotating frame 13 when the rotating frame 13 rotates, further enhancing the dustproof, waterproof and foreign object intrusion prevention effect in the accommodating cavity 131, and enabling the rotating frame 13 to maintain the continuity of structural support when rotating at a large angle, thus improving the overall assembly stability.

[0035] Combination Figure 9As shown, the first mounting plate 31 is provided with a first wire sleeve 312 extending toward the interior of the rotating frame 13. The first wire sleeve 312 and the second toothed transmission member 42 do not overlap on the projection surface of the first mounting plate 31, thereby forming a clearance space at the rotation center of the rotating frame 13 for the first wire sleeve 312 to pass through. The second mounting plate 32 is provided with a second wire sleeve 321 extending away from the rotating frame 13, and the second wire sleeve 321 protrudes from the rotating frame 13. The first wire sleeve 312 and the second wire sleeve 321 are used for wire harnesses to pass through and guide the wire harnesses. In specific implementation, the wire harness of the display screen 2 is arranged downwards through the second wire sleeve 321 and the first wire sleeve 312 in sequence. When the rotating frame 13 rotates, it will not affect the wire harness inside the second wire sleeve 321 and the first wire sleeve 312, thereby avoiding bending, wear, etc. of the wire harness of the display screen 2 during the rotation of the rotating frame 13. The first wire sleeve 312 and the second mounting plate 32 are fixedly connected by multiple support columns 33. These support columns 33 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction, forming multiple threading intervals between the second mounting plate 32 and the first wire sleeve 312. This allows the wire harness in the wiring groove 121 on the extension frame 12 to pass through the intervals formed between the support columns 33 and extend into the first wire sleeve 312, while retaining sufficient slack to coordinate the relationship between the rotation of the rotating frame 13 and the wire harness coming from the wiring groove 121, reducing the risk of the wire harness breaking due to repeated twisting. The frame 3 is provided with a functional seat 38 located below the first mounting plate 31. The first wire sleeve 312 is internally connected to the functional seat 38. In specific implementation, the functional seat 38 provides accommodating space for wire harness transfer, aggregation, or electrical connection, and ultimately connects to the ship's internal control system. It should be noted that the specific arrangement and electrical connection method of the wire harness are conventional techniques easily implemented by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0036] A secondary screen 21 is provided on one side of the display screen 2. The secondary screen 21 is electrically connected to the display screen 2 to assist in displaying ship operation information. In a specific embodiment, the secondary screen 21 can be used to display the rotation angle of the throttle 1, alarm information, or other auxiliary operating parameters. The frame 3 is provided with a first bracket 34 and a second bracket 35 extending in the Z direction below the display screen 2. The first bracket 34 and the second bracket 35 are connected by a third bracket 36 extending perpendicular to the Z direction. The second bracket 35 is fixedly connected to the second wire sleeve 321 by a fourth bracket 37 extending perpendicular to the Z direction. The second bracket 35 is located on the side of the first bracket 34 facing the central axis of the frame 3, which, while ensuring the connection strength, forms a clearance area to avoid interference with the rotation of the extension frame 12. Since the extension frame 12 extends upward from the rotating frame 13 and extends outward in a direction away from the display screen 2, that is, the extension frame 12 forms an obliquely upward extending layout, and the extension frame 12 will generate synchronous rotational movement when the throttle 1 is rotated, the lower end of the extension frame 12 is closer to the rotation center. The setting of the third bracket 36 and the second bracket 35 being located on the side of the first bracket 34 facing the central axis of the frame 3 can avoid interference with the rotation of the extension frame 12, especially the lower end of the extension frame 12.

[0037] The ship steering wheel structure provided in this embodiment is rotatably connected to the frame 3 via a rotating bracket 13. After the driver grips the grip part 11 and applies a turning torque, the rotating bracket 13 only drives the throttle 1 to rotate without driving the display screen 2 to rotate synchronously, so that the display screen 2 always maintains a stable orientation, thereby facilitating the driver to quickly read the information on the display screen 2. At the same time, the extension bracket 12 extends the grip part 11 upward and away from the display screen 2, so that the projection of the throttle 1 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction is offset from the projection of the display screen 2 on the plane perpendicular to the Z direction, thereby ensuring that the throttle 1 will not interfere with the observation of the display screen 2 during rotation, improving the visibility of the display screen 2. In addition, the display screen 2 is directly mounted on the ship steering wheel structure, effectively shortening the physical distance between the display screen 2 and the driver's eyes, making it easy for the driver to quickly and clearly read the screen information without significantly shifting their gaze during navigation. It is suitable for high-performance vessels such as hydrofoils in rapidly changing water conditions where the driver needs to obtain steering and navigation information in a timely manner and make rapid operational decisions.

[0038] Example 2: This embodiment provides a vessel that improves the efficiency of the driver in obtaining navigation information during navigation. The vessel includes the ship steering wheel structure described in Embodiment 1; the ship steering wheel structure is used to adjust the direction of the vessel and facilitates the driver's observation of the ship's operating information displayed on the display screen 2 while operating the vessel.

[0039] It should be noted that the vessel also includes a hull, a power system, and other conventional structures, the specific structures and working principles of which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The key feature of the vessel in this embodiment is that it integrates the ship steering wheel structure described in Embodiment 1, so that the driver can observe the ship operation information displayed on the display screen 2 while operating the ship.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the vessel is a hydrofoil; furthermore, this embodiment provides a hydrofoil including the ship steering wheel structure described in Embodiment 1, which is used to adjust the direction of the hydrofoil. Because hydrofoils travel at high speeds and have sensitive maneuverability, on the one hand, the driver needs to quickly observe the ship's operating information displayed on the display screen 2 and react promptly; on the other hand, when the hydrofoil turns, accelerates, decelerates, or encounters swells, its hull may tilt or pitch, causing the ship steering wheel structure to deflect relative to the vertical direction. The driver still needs to operate the ship steering wheel structure while simultaneously quickly observing the ship's operating information displayed on the display screen 2. By adopting the ship steering wheel structure described in Embodiment 1, the display screen 2 can be prevented from rotating with the throttle 1, thereby maintaining a relatively stable orientation of the display screen 2, which facilitates the driver's observation of the ship's operating information displayed on the display screen 2. At the same time, when the hydrofoil is in different navigation attitudes, the obstruction of the display screen 2 by the grip part 11 can be reduced, allowing the driver to obtain ship operating information while maintaining control of the ship steering wheel structure, which is beneficial to improving the hydrofoil's maneuverability and navigation safety.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
