Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steering devices, in particular to an anti-rollover steering rudder for yachts. Background Art
[0002] Yachts, as a leisure and entertainment vehicle, often sail in open waters or oceans. In the face of strong winds, high waves, or unexpected situations, yachts are prone to capsizing, resulting in casualties and property damage. Therefore, designing a steering rudder specifically for anti-capsulation can effectively address this challenge and improve the safety and stability of yachts.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN219453610U) that discloses a yacht steering device. This device, which relates to the technical field of steering devices, comprises an outer sleeve and an oil reservoir. A rotating bearing is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the inner surface of the outer sleeve, and a steering shaft is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the rotating bearing. An oil retaining ring is provided on one side of the rotating bearing, and a ball bearing is mounted on one side of the outer surface of the oil retaining ring. Compared to conventional yacht steering devices, this yacht steering device utilizes an oil reservoir filled from an oil filling port and stored in the oil reservoir. The oil in the oil reservoir flows through a connecting pipe into the oil retaining ring. When the steering wheel is used for steering, the steering shaft rotates, driving the oil retaining ring to rotate synchronously. The ball bearings roll on the rotating bearing, discharging lubricating oil from the oil retaining ring and coating the rotating bearing. This improves the rotational capability of the steering shaft and the rotating bearing, while also reducing wear caused by rotation and extending the service life of the steering device.
[0004] However, in actual use of the above solution, rotation is performed directly through the steering plate. However, when the yacht is directly controlled by the steering plate, the steering ability is limited, especially in the face of strong winds, large waves or crosswinds, the yacht is easily affected by the lateral force, increasing the risk of capsizing. At the same time, direct control through the steering plate may limit the maneuverability of the yacht, especially when emergency turns or course adjustments are required, it may not be possible to respond to emergencies in a timely and effective manner. Moreover, when the yacht is directly controlled by the steering plate, the steering effect may be affected by water currents, waves and other environmental factors, resulting in unstable or inaccurate steering.
[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides an anti-rollover steering rudder for a yacht. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The utility model provides an anti-rollover steering rudder for yachts, which solves the problem in related technologies that yachts are easily affected by lateral forces and increase the risk of rollover when facing strong winds, big waves or crosswinds.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner side of the front section of the rudder plate, and a locking rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the limiting sleeve is slidably connected to the left and right limiting rods opposite to each other, and the bottom end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a snap-fit joint.
[0010] Preferably, a slot is provided on the outer wall of the middle end of the snap joint, and a limiting ball is snap-connected inside the slot.
[0011] Preferably, a snap ring is snap-connected to the outer side of the limiting ball, and a mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the snap ring.
[0012] Preferably, an extended range chamber is provided at the inner upper end of the installation sleeve, and a connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the inner side of the top end of the installation sleeve.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve, and a fixing sleeve is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, a spring is provided on the outer side of the middle end of the fixing sleeve, and the fixing sleeve is slidably connected to the limiting ball.
[0015] Preferably, the top end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a fixing rod, and the top end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to a connecting frame.
[0016] Preferably, the inner side of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to front and rear electric push rods that are opposite to each other, and the right side of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the mounting frame.
[0017] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0018] In this utility model, by arranging a motor, propeller, and fairing on the rudder, additional thrust can be provided to the yacht, enhancing the vessel's maneuverability. By controlling the speed and direction of the propeller, the vessel's direction and speed can be adjusted more precisely, while also improving the vessel's stability, especially in crosswinds or side waves. The propeller can provide additional lateral thrust, reducing the risk of roll and sideways movement.
[0019] In this utility model, the engagement between the locking ring and the stop ball is controlled by rotating the installation sleeve, thereby achieving rapid assembly and disassembly of the rudder plate, simplifying the maintenance and upkeep of the vessel. The rudder blade may require regular inspection, cleaning, or replacement, and the rapid assembly and disassembly system makes these operations simpler and more efficient. In emergency situations, such as when the steering rudder is damaged or when a rapid escape from a dangerous area is required, the rapid assembly and disassembly of the steering rudder allows the crew to take necessary action quickly to ensure the safety of the vessel and crew.

[0030] In this embodiment, the inner side of the limiting sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the left and right opposing limiting rods 5, and the limiting sleeve 8 is used to limit the limiting rod 5. The bottom end of the limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to a snap-fit joint 6, and the snap-fit joint 6 is fixed by the limiting rod 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, a clamping groove 7 is formed on the outer wall of the middle end of the clamping joint 6 , and a limiting ball 17 is clamped and connected inside the clamping groove 7 .
[0032] In this embodiment, a snap ring 13 is snap-connected to the outside of the limiting ball 17, and a mounting sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the snap ring 13. The snap ring 13 is fixed by the mounting sleeve 11, and the limiting ball 17 is snap-connected by the snap ring 13, thereby supporting and limiting the limiting ball 17.
[0033] In this embodiment, an extended-range chamber 12 is opened at the upper end of the inner side of the mounting sleeve 11. By opening the extended-range chamber 12 on the inner side of the mounting sleeve 11, a longer movement is provided for the limiting ball 17. The inner side of the top end of the mounting sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 14. The internal thread at the top end of the inner side of the mounting sleeve 11 and the external thread on the outer side of the top end of the connecting sleeve 14 cooperate with each other to connect and fix the mounting sleeve 11 and the connecting sleeve 14.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 8 , and the connecting sleeve 14 is fixed by the limiting sleeve 8 . The fixing sleeve 15 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting sleeve 14 .
[0035] In this embodiment, a spring 16 is provided on the outer side of the middle end of the fixed sleeve 15 , and the spring 16 is limited by the fixed sleeve 15 . The fixed sleeve 15 is slidably connected to the limiting ball 17 , and the limiting ball 17 is limited by the fixed sleeve 15 .
[0036] In this embodiment, the top of the limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 4, and the limiting rod 5 is fixed by the fixing rod 4. The top of the fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 3, and the fixing rod 4 is fixed by the connecting frame 3.
