[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides an outboard motor rudder stock assembly, which includes: a rudder stock body 1, the rudder stock body 1 has a connecting portion, so that the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 are pivotally connected through the connecting portion, so that the rudder stock body 1 has a working position and a storage position; a rudder stock fixing member 3, the rudder stock fixing member 3 is used to be arranged on the rudder stock body 1 and / or the outboard motor body 2, when the rudder stock body 1 is rotated to the storage position, the rudder stock fixing member 3 fixes the relative position between the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2.
[0027] When the outboard motor rudder stock assembly adopting this structural design is in use, the rudder stock body 1 is pivotally mounted on the outboard motor body 2 through the connecting part, and can be switched to the working position or the storage position during the rotation. When it is rotated to the storage position, the rudder stock fixing part 3 relatively fixes the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2, so that the rudder stock body 1 is fixed in the storage position, saving space on the vehicle. Compared with the method of using track slide grooves and other structures to achieve rudder stock storage in the related art, the outboard motor rudder stock assembly adopting the structural design of the embodiment of the present application has a simpler structure and higher working reliability, which solves the technical problem of the complex storage structure of the outboard motor rudder stock assembly in the related art.
[0028] In actual implementation, the rudder stock fixing member 3 may have different implementation forms. For example, the structure of the rudder stock fixing member 3 for fixing the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 includes at least one of the following: an adsorption structure, an adhesion structure, an elastic drive structure, and a snap-on structure.
[0029] Among them, there may be different adsorption principles for the adsorption structure. In an optional embodiment, the rudder bar fixing member 3 relatively fixes the rudder bar body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 through a magnetic attraction structure. In another optional embodiment, the rudder bar fixing member 3 relatively fixes the rudder bar body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 through a negative pressure adsorption structure. For example, a negative pressure suction cup is provided on the rudder bar body 1 and / or the outboard motor body 2. When the rudder bar body 1 is rotated and stored, the negative pressure suction cup can be correspondingly squeezed and contacted with the outboard motor body 2 and / or the rudder bar body 1, thereby achieving a reliable adsorption and fixing effect.
[0030] In the scheme that the rudder stock fixing member 3 adopts an adhesive structure, the adhesive structure is a structure that can be repeatedly adhered and torn apart, and always maintains adhesiveness during multiple adhesion and separation processes. For example, in one embodiment, the rudder stock fixing member 3 includes a first protective cover sleeved on the rudder stock body 1 and a second protective cover sleeved on the outboard motor body 2, and the first protective cover and the second protective cover are provided with Velcro that cooperate with each other, and when the rudder stock body 1 is folded and stored, the two parts of the Velcro are adhered to each other.
[0031] In the embodiment where the rudder stock fixing member 3 is an elastic drive structure, at least part of the rudder stock fixing member 3 is made of elastic material, which is connected to the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2, so as to apply a force to bring the two closer to each other, so that the rudder stock body 1 is kept in the storage position. For example, the rudder stock fixing member 3 includes a tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively connected to the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2. At this time, the connection between the tension spring and the rudder stock body 1 is the first connection point, the connection between the tension spring and the outboard motor body 2 is the second connection point, and the hinge between the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 is the third connection point. Among them, when the rudder stock body 1 is in the working position, the first connection point, the second connection point and the third connection point are in the same straight line. At this time, the entire assembly is in a force balance point, and the tension spring will not pull the rudder stock body 1 to move; when the rudder stock body 1 is in the storage position, the first connection point, the second connection point and the third connection point are not in the same straight line. At this time, the tension of the tension spring will bring the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 closer to each other, so that the rudder stock body 1 is kept in the storage position.
[0032] In an embodiment in which the rudder stock fixing member 3 is a snap-fit structure, a first snap-fit is provided on the rudder stock body 1 and a second snap-fit is provided on the outboard motor body 2. When the rudder stock body 1 is in the storage position, the first snap-fit is engaged with the second snap-fit, thereby locking the rudder stock body 1.
[0033] The rudder stock fixing member 3 adopting the structural design of the above embodiment has the advantages of simple structure and easy use. When the vehicle stops working or docks, the rudder stock body 1 is directly rotated to the storage position. At this time, the rudder stock fixing member 3 can automatically lock the rudder stock body 1 without any other additional operations. In addition, the simple structural design can also ensure high reliability and reduce the probability of malfunctions such as jamming.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the rudder bar fixing member 3 is a magnetic structure. When the rudder bar body 1 is rotated to the storage position, the magnetic structure applies opposite pulling forces to the rudder bar body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 to fix the rudder bar body 1 in the storage position.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rudder stock fixing member 3 is a magnetic attraction structure. When the rudder stock body 1 is rotated to the storage position, the rudder stock body 1 can be locked in the storage position under the action of magnetic force, which has the characteristics of simple structure and easy use.
[0036] In actual implementation, there may be different situations. For example, when at least one of the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 is made of ferromagnetic material, a magnet may be installed on the other one, so that when the two are close to each other, the two are attracted to each other under the action of the magnet. Magnets may also be provided on both of them, so that when the two are close to each other, the rudder stock body 1 is kept in the storage position by the mutual attraction between the two magnets.
[0037] Specifically, the rudder bar fixing member 3 includes: a first component 31, the first component 31 is installed on the rudder bar body 1; a second component 32, the second component 32 is used to be installed on the outboard motor body 2; wherein, at least one of the first component 31 and the second component 32 is a magnet, and when the rudder bar body 1 is rotated to the storage position, the first component 31 and the second component 32 attract each other.
[0038] In this embodiment, a first component 31 is provided on the rudder stock body 1, and a second component 32 is provided on the outboard motor body 2. At least one of the first component 31 and the second component 32 is a magnet, and the two can attract each other, so that the rudder stock body 1 is kept in the storage position. For example, one of the two is a magnet, and the other is a ferromagnetic material. For another example, both are magnets.
[0039] Preferably, the rudder bar body 1 has a first installation position for installing the first component 31, and the first installation position is located inside the outer shell of the rudder bar body 1; and / or, the outboard motor body 2 has a second installation position for installing the second component 32, and the second installation position is located inside the outer shell of the outboard motor body 2.
[0040] By setting a first installation position inside the outer shell of the rudder bar body 1, the first component 31 can be installed inside the rudder bar body 1, and by setting a second installation position inside the outer shell of the outboard motor body 2, the second component 32 can be installed inside the outboard motor body 2. This can improve the protection effect of the first component 31 and the second component 32, reduce the risk of damage or loss of the first component 31 and the second component 32, and the magnetic force can smoothly penetrate the outer shell to achieve the effect of attraction and locking, without affecting the normal operation of the rudder bar fixing part 3.
[0041] The rudder stock body 1 comprises: a rudder stock shell 11 , which is provided with a slot or a hole; a cover plate 12 , which is installed at the slot or the hole to cover the slot or the hole, and the first component 31 is arranged in the space enclosed by the rudder stock shell 11 and the cover plate 12 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the rudder stock body 1 includes a rudder stock shell 11, and a groove or a hole is designed on the rudder stock shell 11, so that the first component 31 can be installed therein. The rudder stock body 1 is also designed with a cover plate 12, so that the groove or the hole is covered by the cover plate 12, thereby achieving the purpose of installing the first component 31 in the rudder stock shell 11.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, a groove 120 is provided on the side of the cover plate 12 facing the rudder stock housing 11, and the first component 31 is installed in the groove 120; and / or, the cover plate 12 and the rudder stock housing 11 are detachably connected. By providing the groove 120 on the side of the cover plate 12 facing the rudder stock housing 11 and installing the first component 31 in the groove 120, the first component 31 can be as close to the cover plate 12 as possible, so that its magnetic force can more effectively penetrate the cover plate 12, and the rudder stock fixing member 3 can better play a role in fixing the rudder stock body 1. The cover plate 12 and the rudder stock housing 11 are designed to be detachably connected, which can facilitate the inspection, maintenance or replacement of the first component 31 inside.
[0044] The outboard motor body 2 includes a motor assembly 21, a bracket assembly 22 and a power supply assembly 23, at least part of the bracket assembly 22 is located between the motor assembly 21 and the power supply assembly 23, and the motor assembly 21 and the power supply assembly 23 are both connected to the bracket assembly 22, wherein: the inner wall of the outer shell of the bracket assembly 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221, and the second component 32 is installed in the mounting groove 221; when the rudder bar body 1 rotates from the working position to the storage position, the free end of the rudder bar body 1 moves toward the direction close to the motor assembly 21, so that after the rudder bar body 1 is folded and stored, the space occupied by the entire outboard motor rudder bar assembly is smaller. In addition, the outboard motor body 2 also includes a hanger 24, and the outboard motor body 2 is connected to the carrier through the hanger 24.
[0045] In addition, the utility model further provides an outboard motor, which includes an outboard motor body 2 and the outboard motor rudder stock assembly, wherein the outboard motor rudder stock assembly is installed on the outboard motor body 2 .
[0046] Again, the utility model also provides a water surface vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and an outboard motor installed on the vehicle body, the outboard motor drives the vehicle body to move on the water surface, wherein the outboard motor is the outboard motor mentioned above.
[0047] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0048] The outboard motor rudder stock assembly of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a rudder stock body 1 and a rudder stock fixing member 3, wherein the rudder stock body 1 has a connection portion, so that the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2 can be pivotally connected through the connection portion, so that the rudder stock body 1 has a working position and a storage position; the rudder stock fixing member 3 is used to be arranged on the rudder stock body 1 and / or the outboard motor body 2, and when the rudder stock body 1 is rotated to the storage position, the rudder stock fixing member 3 fixes the relative position between the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2. When the outboard motor rudder stock assembly with such a structural design is used, the rudder stock body 1 is pivotally mounted on the outboard motor body 2 through the connection portion, and can be switched to the working position or the storage position during the rotation process. When it is rotated to the storage position, the rudder stock fixing member 3 relatively fixes the rudder stock body 1 and the outboard motor body 2, so that the rudder stock body 1 is fixed in the storage position, saving space on the vehicle.
