[0002] In recent years, as outdoor and water entertainment activities have become more and more popular, consumers have an increasing demand for yachts, and the yacht industry has shown a trend of expansion in scale in recent years. The outboard motor is one of the main power devices of the ship, usually installed on the side of the ship, responsible for providing propulsion. The structure of the outboard motor mainly includes an engine, a transmission device and a propeller. The engine is generally set at the height of the hull, and the power needs to be transmitted to the underwater propeller through the transmission device. The existing transmission device scheme generally includes a long power input shaft set vertically downward, which transmits power to the power output shaft through gear meshing, and the output shaft drives the propeller to rotate. The length of the power input shaft in this scheme is generally more than 700mm. The cost of producing a power shaft of this specification is relatively high, and the power shaft at this length has requirements for the strength of the material. It is necessary to maintain a large torque power output at a longer length. Therefore, the transmission shaft needs to select a material with higher strength; at the same time, there are also high requirements for the production process. The concentricity of the power shaft needs to be maintained to prevent deformation during the assembly process, so that the outboard motor will have movement, shaking, interference and other phenomena during the operation of the outboard motor, thereby affecting the service life of the outboard motor.
