Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the technical field of control systems, and particularly to a safety control system for a large-horsepower dual-electric outboard motor boat. Background Art
[0002] Under the background of "dual carbon", traffic emission reduction is the most prominent. New energy technologies with power batteries and motors as the core have achieved relatively prominent achievements in the field of road traffic. Currently, the electrification of waterborne transportation mainly based on inland and offshore ships is in the stage of technical reserves in the early stage of industrial development, and the industrialization market has broad prospects.
[0003] Dual-powered boats usually select high-end outboard motors as power components, and high-end outboard motors usually use electronic control technology. In the electronic control system, the control system transmits control signals to the whole-ship controller through the CAN network for outboard motor control. The network quality of this CAN network will affect the integrity of the control signals, thus affecting the driving safety of the boat.
[0004] Based on the above deficiencies, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To ensure the safety of personnel and property and put forward higher requirements for maritime travel safety, the purpose of this patent is to provide a safety control system for a large-horsepower dual-electric outboard motor boat, including a battery subsystem, an outboard motor subsystem, a whole-ship controller, a control subsystem, and a communication subsystem; the battery subsystem includes a first power battery and a second power battery, the outboard motor subsystem includes a first outboard motor and a second outboard motor, and the communication subsystem includes a first CAN network and a second CAN network; the first power battery, the first outboard motor, the whole-ship controller, and the control subsystem are all connected through the first CAN network, the second power battery, the second outboard motor, the whole-ship controller, and the control subsystem are all connected through the second CAN network, and the first CAN network and the second CAN network are independent of each other; the control subsystem includes a mechanical controller, and the mechanical controller transmits control signals to the whole-ship controller, and the whole-ship controller transmits control signals to the battery subsystem and the outboard motor subsystem.
[0006] Another alternative and further optimized solution: the mechanical controller includes a steering wheel and a mechanical handle; or, the mechanical controller includes a steering wheel and a push rod.
[0007] Another alternative and further optimized solution: the control subsystem further includes a touch display screen, the whole-ship controller synchronously backs up the control signals to the touch display screen, and the touch display screen is independent of the mechanical controller.
[0008] Another alternative and further optimized solution: The touch display screen includes a virtual control switch. When the virtual control switch is turned on, the whole-ship controller receives the control signal from the touch display screen; when the virtual control switch is turned off, the touch display screen is only used to display the navigation attitude of the boat and the working state of the outboard motor.
[0009] Another alternative and further optimized solution: The touch display screen includes gear control, speed control, and steering control.
[0010] Another alternative and further optimized solution: The steering control includes left steering control, right steering control, and centering control.
[0011] Another alternative and further optimized solution: The gear control includes forward gear, neutral gear, and reverse gear.
[0012] Another alternative and further optimized solution: The speed control includes acceleration control, deceleration control, speed holding control, and speed maintenance.
[0013] The advantages of this patent compared with the prior art are as follows: The network interface of the control subsystem is redundantly designed, and the functions of the control subsystem are backed up. After a communication failure occurs in the first CAN network, the boat can continue to sail safely, solving the serious system problem that the boat loses control of the outboard motor due to the communication failure of the first CAN network, effectively improving the safety of the boat system, and providing more safety guarantees for sea travel.
