Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outboard motors, in particular to a quick-release mechanism for outboard motors. Background Art
[0002] An outboard motor is a propulsion engine installed on the outside of a ship's hull (side), usually hung on the outside of the transom, also known as an outboard motor. Small outboard motors have many applications in daily life.
[0003] For example, in some European cities with developed water systems, short-distance travel still relies on boats. Traditional internal combustion engine-driven propellers are difficult to maintain, noisy, and cause serious pollution, which has many adverse effects on people living along the river. In the past two years, some cities have begun to gradually ban the use of internal combustion engines on rivers. Many people have begun to replace them with electric outboard motors, but if high-power electric outboard motors are used, the batteries are expensive and most people cannot afford them. In addition, high-power outboard motors usually have batteries and machines separated. It is also troublesome to find a place to install the batteries on a very small boat, and charging is also inconvenient. In addition, the batteries are expensive and anti-theft is also a big problem.
[0004] Field investigations have found that in most places the rivers are narrow, the speed of navigation is very slow, and the boats are very small. If it is just for daily commuting, there is no need for such a large propulsion power. A small-power, low-speed, high-thrust electric outboard motor can fully meet the requirements. A low-power machine can integrate the battery and the machine into one, which is light and can be quickly disassembled and assembled, fully meeting most daily needs.
[0005] In the prior art, outboard motors generally adopt an integrated structure, and the joystick part and the propeller part are folded to reduce the volume so as to achieve mobility and storage. However, this folding method still retains the original weight on the one hand, and on the other hand, the volume is still large after folding, which is still very inconvenient during transportation and storage. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an outboard motor quick release mechanism. In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: an outboard motor quick release mechanism, comprising a steering shaft bracket, a tie rod and a tie rod sleeve, a sleeve is provided between the bracket sleeve and the tie rod sleeve of the steering shaft bracket, the tie rod is installed in the tie rod sleeve, and a locking nut and an expansion body are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the tie rod, the locking nut can be clamped on the upper part of the tie rod sleeve, the lower end of the tie rod sleeve is an expansion port, the expansion body can be pulled into the expansion port, and its outer side is against the inner wall of the sleeve.
[0007] In the above technical solution, a friction sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the expansion port, and the friction surface on the outer side of the friction sleeve abuts against the inner wall surface of the shaft sleeve.
[0008] In the above technical solution, the lower end of the shaft sleeve is an expanded hole, and the friction sleeve is arranged between the expansion port and the shaft sleeve.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the expansion opening is a plurality of discontinuous baffles arranged along the lower end opening of the pull rod sleeve.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the upper portion of the pull rod sleeve is fixedly connected to the outboard motor body.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the expansion body is in the shape of a frustum, and the upper end is a small-diameter end, and the upper part of the expansion body can be pulled into the expansion opening.
[0012] In the above technical solution, a limiting step is provided at the lower portion of the locking nut, and the limiting step can be clamped on the tube mouth of the upper portion of the pull rod sleeve.
[0013] To sum up, the technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with traditional technical means: the utility model is installed on the outboard motor, and in the normal assembly state, the locking nut fixes the pull rod, the expansion body at the lower part of the pull rod is pulled up, and the expansion opening at the lower part of the pull rod sleeve is opened by the expansion body, so that the friction plate can resist the inner wall surface of the sleeve, and the pull rod sleeve can form an adjustable friction force with the bracket sleeve on the outside of the sleeve, which can prevent the machine from moving up and down due to the bumps of the hull during operation, and can also provide a suitable steering damping for the machine when turning.
