Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of direction control of a racing boat, and more specifically, to a direction control mechanism for a racing boat and a racing boat. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, water sports such as rowing have become increasingly popular among sports enthusiasts. The boats used for rowing are mostly small racing boats with pointed ends. A steering wheel mechanism for controlling the direction of the racing boat is installed at the tail of the racing boat. The steering wheel mechanism is connected to the pedal group in the hull through structures such as boat lines or rudder poles. When the racing boat needs to turn, the rower controls the pedal group by swinging his feet, which in turn drives the steering wheel mechanism to rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of the racing boat.

[0003] At present, although the two-person rowing boats on the market are equipped with pedal groups in both the front and rear cockpits, most of them only have the pedal group in the front cockpit connected to the steering wheel mechanism, and only the rower sitting in the front row can control the direction of the rowing boat. When an emergency situation requires the direction of the rowing boat to be adjusted, there is a situation where the rower in the back row finds it but the rower in the front row does not because of the blind spot, resulting in the inability to adjust the direction of the rowing boat in time, which is prone to accidents and poses a safety hazard. In addition, since the rowers in the back row cannot adjust the direction of the rowing boat together with the rowers in the front row, their participation level is low and their experience is poor, which affects the popularization and promotion of rowing sports.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems and enable the rowers in the front and rear rows to jointly control the direction of the rowing, some existing rowing boats are equipped with control levers and other structures in the front and rear cockpits. The steering wheel mechanism is respectively controlled by the front and rear two sets of control levers. Although the rowers in the front and rear rows can jointly control the direction of the rowing, the overall structure is complex and the equipment production cost is high, which is not conducive to large-scale application. In addition, operating the control lever requires a certain level of skill and is not suitable for novice rowers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a direction control mechanism with a simple structure and low production cost that enables the rowers in the front and rear rows to jointly adjust the direction of the rowing, and a rowing boat using the direction control mechanism.
