Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, not necessarily to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented, for example, in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application provide a marine remote control handle system, to solve the problem that the single electric signal output form remote control handle is difficult to be widely matched in practical application due to different requirements of different ship control systems for electric signal form.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , the marine remote control handle system comprises a handle position signal control unit 10 and an electric signal conversion control unit 20.

[0040] The output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 is connected with the input end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20.

[0041] The handle position signal control unit 10 and the electric signal conversion control unit 20 are connected through a first CAN bus.

[0042] The handle position signal control unit 10 is responsible for capturing and processing the position signals input by the user through the handle, and the output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 is closely connected with the input end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20. In order to realize high-speed and reliable transmission of data, an advanced first CAN bus is used to connect the two, ensuring the stability and real-time performance of signal transmission.

[0043] The output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 and the output end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 are respectively used as the output end of the marine remote handle system.

[0044] The output signal of the handle position signal control unit 10 is a CAN signal, and the output signal of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 is an analog signal. Both the CAN signal and the analog signal are electrical signals.

[0045] The handle position signal control unit 10 is the basic unit of the marine remote handle system, and the electric signal conversion control unit 20 is an extended unit based on the basic unit.

[0046] It is worth noting that the output end of the marine remote handle system is quite flexible. The output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 directly outputs a CAN signal, which is widely used in industrial control due to its high reliability and strong anti-interference ability. At the same time, the output end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 is responsible for converting the received CAN signal into various forms of analog signals to meet the specific needs of different ship control systems for signal forms.

[0047] Specifically, the electric signal conversion control unit 20 converts the CAN signal containing the handle angle and gear information into corresponding voltage signals and / or current signals after analyzing the CAN signal. Correspondingly, the marine remote handle system proposed in the present application can be adapted to CAN, voltage, and current form remote control systems.

[0048] Through such a design, the marine remote handle system of the present application not only retains the many advantages of CAN signal transmission, but also realizes the wide adaptation to different ship control systems through the electric signal conversion control unit 20, greatly improving the universality and practicality of the remote handle.

[0049] In this embodiment, the output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 is connected with the input end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20; the handle position signal control unit 10 and the electric signal conversion control unit 20 are connected through the first CAN bus; the output end of the handle position signal control unit 10 and the output end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 are respectively used as the output end of the marine remote control handle system; the output signal of the handle position signal control unit 10 is a CAN signal; the output signal of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 is an analog signal; that is, the marine remote control handle system can output electric signals in multiple forms, such as CAN signals and analog signals; thus, the requirements of different ship control systems for electric signals in different forms are met, and the wide applicability of the marine remote control handle system is improved.

[0050] Optionally, the analog signal is a current signal or a voltage signal.

[0051] That is, the analog signal can be a current signal or a voltage signal; that is, the electric signal conversion control unit 20 can output a voltage signal or a current signal; of course, it can also output a power signal.

[0052] Specifically, the voltage signal can be a direct current voltage signal.

[0053] Analog signals play a core role in electronic systems, and they can exist in the form of current signals or voltage signals. This means that when referring to analog signals, it is actually saying that such signals can transmit information based on changes in current or changes in voltage.

[0054] Further, this flexibility is also reflected in the output of the electric signal conversion control unit 20. This unit not only has the ability to output voltage signals, but also can output current signals. The diversity of this design ensures that the system can flexibly choose the most suitable signal form according to different application scenarios and requirements.

[0055] Specifically, voltage signals can be direct current voltage signals. Direct current voltage signals, that is, signals with constant voltage values that do not change over time, are widely used in various power systems, analog circuits, and situations that require stable voltage references.

[0056] In summary, the diversity of analog signals not only lies in their ability to be current or voltage signals, but also lies in their ability to be flexibly converted into various forms of signals according to different application requirements to meet system design and performance optimization requirements.

[0057] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 the first output end of the electric signal conversion control unit 20 outputs a current signal.

[0058] The second output end of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 outputs a voltage signal.

[0059] The ground end of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 is grounded.

[0060] That is, in the design of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20, its output end has a high degree of flexibility to meet the diverse application requirements. Specifically:

[0061] The first output end of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 is configured to output a current signal. This function enables the unit to play a key role in situations where precise control of current output is required.

[0062] At the same time, the second output end of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 is responsible for outputting a voltage signal. As one of the most common signal forms in electronic systems, voltage signals are widely used in various power systems, analog circuits, and interfaces between digital circuits. Through this output end, the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 can provide stable and reliable voltage output to the system.

[0063] In addition, the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 is also equipped with a ground end, which is specifically designed for ground connection. Grounding is a basic task in electronic system design and maintenance, which helps to ensure the stability and safety of the system. Through the ground end, the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 can achieve good electrical connection with other system components, ensuring the normal operation of the entire system.

[0064] In summary, the output end design of the electrical signal conversion control unit 20 takes into account the output requirements of current and voltage signals, and achieves good electrical connection through the ground end, providing a strong guarantee for the stability and reliability of the system.

[0065] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , the handle position signal control unit 10 includes: a handle angle position sensor 11, a gear position sensor 12, and a handle position signal control circuit 13.

[0066] The output end of the handle angle position sensor 11 is connected to the first input end of the handle position signal control circuit 13.

[0067] The output end of the gear position sensor 12 is connected to the second input end of the handle position signal control circuit 13.

[0068] The output end of the handle position signal control circuit 13 serves as the output end of the handle position signal control unit 10.

[0069] Specifically, the handle angle position sensor 11 is responsible for detecting the rotation angle of the handle and converting it into a corresponding electrical signal. The output end of the handle angle position sensor 11 is closely connected to the first input end of the handle position signal control circuit 13, ensuring accurate transmission of angle information. Through this connection, every slight rotation of the handle can be captured in real time and converted into an electrical signal, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent signal processing.

[0070] At the same time, the gear sensor 12 is responsible for detecting the gear position (neutral, forward, reverse) of the handle and also converting it into an electrical signal for output. The output end of the gear sensor 12 is connected to the second input end of the handle position signal control circuit 13, achieving effective transmission of gear information. By simultaneously obtaining angle and gear information, the handle position signal control circuit 13 can more comprehensively understand the current state of the handle.

[0071] Finally, the output end of the handle position signal control circuit 13 serves as the output end of the entire handle position signal control unit 10. This handle position signal control circuit 13 processes gear and angle information, converts it into a CAN bus signal, and is responsible for outputting the processed handle position signal to other parts of the system.

[0072] In summary, the handle position signal control unit 10 integrates the handle angle position sensor 11, gear sensor 12, and handle position signal control circuit 13, achieving accurate perception and signal output of the handle position, providing strong support for the stable operation of the system.

[0073] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , it also includes a screen key control unit 30.

[0074] The screen key control unit 30 serves as a functional expansion unit of the marine remote control handle system.

[0075] The output end of the screen key control unit 30 is connected to the input end of the handle position signal control unit 10.

[0076] Based on the original design, the screen key control unit 30 is further introduced, which significantly enhances the interactivity and functionality of the system. As an independent control module, the main responsibility of the screen key control unit 30 is to process input signals from the screen 31 keys and convert these signals into corresponding control instructions.

[0077] To achieve effective communication and data transmission between the screen key control unit 30 and the handle position signal control unit 10, a connection path is specially designed. Specifically, a direct connection is established between the output end of the screen key control unit 30 and the input end of the handle position signal control unit 10. This design ensures that every operation on the screen 31 key can be captured in real time and converted into a control signal to the handle position signal control unit 10, thereby achieving precise control of system operation.

[0078] Alternatively, the screen key control unit 30 and the handle position signal control unit 10 are connected through a second CAN bus.

[0079] In addition, to improve the reliability and efficiency of data transmission, the screen key control unit 30 and the handle position signal control unit 10 can be connected through a second CAN bus. As a high-performance serial communication protocol, CAN bus is known for its high reliability, real-time performance and flexibility. Through the second CAN bus connection, data transmission between the two units will become more stable and efficient, thereby further improving the performance and reliability of the entire system.

[0080] In summary, the introduction of the screen key control unit 30 and its connection design with the handle position signal control unit 10 not only enhances the interactivity and functionality of the system, but also improves the reliability and efficiency of data transmission through the optional second CAN bus connection. These design improvements collectively provide strong support for the stable operation and efficient operation of the system.

[0081] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 5 The screen key control unit 30 includes a screen 31, a key unit 32, and a screen key control circuit 33.

[0082] The screen 31 is connected to the display end of the screen key control circuit 33.

[0083] As the main display part of the user interface, the screen 31 provides users with rich visual information through its clear display effect. To achieve normal display of the content of the screen 31, the display end of the screen 31 is closely connected to the corresponding port of the screen key control circuit 33. This design ensures that the screen 31 can display the information processed by the control circuit in real time and accurately, providing users with intuitive operation feedback.

[0084] The display information in the screen 31 includes but is not limited to throttle information, site information, gear information, etc.

[0085] The key unit 32 is connected to the input end of the screen key control circuit 33.

[0086] Optionally, the key unit 32 includes at least one of the station control button, the berthing mode control button, the synchronization mode control button, and the warm-up mode control button.

[0087] It should be noted that the station control button, the berthing mode control button, the synchronization mode control button, and the warm-up mode control button can share one key, and different modes can be switched by short pressing, long pressing, combined pressing, and the like operation mode in combination with screen 31 prompt information.

[0088] The key unit 32 is the main interface for user operation, and includes multiple function buttons such as the station control button, the berthing mode control button, the synchronization mode control button, and the warm-up mode control button. The design of these buttons fully considers the user's usage habits and operation requirements, so that the user can accurately control the system through simple key operation. The input end of the key unit 32 is connected to the input end of the screen key control circuit 33, ensuring real-time capture and accurate processing of user operations.

[0089] The output end of the screen key control circuit 33 is the output end of the screen key control unit 30.

[0090] The screen key control circuit 33 is the core processing part of the entire screen key control unit 30, responsible for receiving signals from the screen 31 and the key unit 32 and performing corresponding processing. The processed signals are output through the output end of the screen key control circuit 33 as the output signals of the entire screen key control unit 30. This output signal not only contains user operation information, but also may have been filtered, encoded, and the like processed to ensure signal accuracy and reliability.

[0091] In summary, the screen key control unit 30 integrates the screen 31, the key unit 32, and the screen key control circuit 33 to realize intuitive display and convenient operation of the user interface. Among them, the design of the key unit 32 fully considers the user's usage requirements, providing the user with rich operation options. These design improvements collectively improve the user experience and operation efficiency of the system.

[0092] In the embodiment, the above-mentioned various control units are independent of each other and use CAN bus communication. The above-mentioned various control units can be combined into one in a building block manner in physical structure, or can be independently distributed in a split manner, facilitating expansion and use.

[0093] Optionally, the marine remote control handle system is a single-handle marine remote control handle system.

[0094] The marine remote control handle system is a double-handle marine remote control handle system.

[0095] Marine remote control handle systems can be divided into single-handle and double-handle types according to different configurations. Of course, multiple-handle types are not excluded.

[0096] One type is a single-handle marine remote control handle system. This system adopts a single handle design and integrates all necessary control functions. Users can achieve precise control over ship navigation, turning, speed, and other aspects by operating this single handle. This design is simple and clear, making it easy for users to quickly get started and operate.

This design allows users to operate both handles simultaneously, achieving more complex and precise control. For example, one handle may be responsible for ship navigation and turning control, while the other handle is responsible for ship speed and power system control. The double-handle design improves the flexibility and response speed of the system, making it suitable for situations that require high precision and complex operations.
