Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to an outboard motor locking device, an outboard motor, and a ship. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the battery system serves as the power source for electric outboard motors and is a key component of electric boat systems. Because outboard motors are relatively small, their batteries are often detachably connected to the motor body for ease of use and replacement.

[0003] In related technologies, batteries are generally connected to the outboard motor body via pins and then secured with bolts. However, when connecting the battery to the outboard motor body, the outboard motor body can rotate relative to the hull, making it difficult to align the battery during connection and resulting in installation difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an outboard motor locking device, an outboard motor, and a ship, to solve the technical problem in related technologies where the rotation of the outboard motor body during battery installation makes battery installation difficult.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an outboard motor locking device, including a fixing mechanism, a rotating mechanism and a locking mechanism;

[0006] The fixing mechanism is used to connect to the hull, and the fixing mechanism is also rotatably connected to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is provided with a mounting position for installing the battery pack.

[0007] The locking mechanism is disposed within the fixing mechanism and the rotating mechanism. The locking mechanism is movable relative to the fixing mechanism and the rotating mechanism. The axis of the locking mechanism is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism.

[0008] When the battery pack is placed in the mounting position, the battery pack pushes the locking mechanism to move to the first state, so that the rotating mechanism can rotate relative to the fixing mechanism;

[0009] When the battery pack is not placed in the mounting position, the locking mechanism moves to the second state to restrict the relative rotation between the rotating mechanism and the fixing mechanism.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a top pin and a spring plunger;

[0011] The top post and the spring plunger are arranged on the same straight line. The top post is slidably connected to the rotating mechanism, and the spring plunger is connected to the fixing mechanism. One end of the top post abuts against the spring plunger, and the other end extends out of the rotating mechanism.

[0012] When the battery pack is placed in the mounting position, the battery pack presses the spring plunger through the top column, causing the spring plunger to move out of the rotating mechanism;

[0013] When the battery pack is not in the mounting position, the spring plunger extends into the rotating mechanism.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism is provided with a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity that communicate with each other, wherein the diameter of the second receiving cavity is larger than the diameter of the first receiving cavity;

[0015] The top column includes a column body and a step arranged around the column body. The column body is disposed in the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity and is movable along the axial direction of the first accommodating cavity. The step is disposed in the second accommodating cavity and is movable along the axial direction of the second accommodating cavity. The step is able to abut against the side of the second accommodating cavity that connects to the first accommodating cavity to limit the movement distance of the column body.

[0016] The spring plunger abuts against the end of the top post that is away from the first receiving cavity.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a nut and a first elastic element;

[0018] The nut is disposed in the second accommodating cavity and sleeved on the end of the top post near the spring plunger. The first elastic element is sleeved on the outside of the post. The two ends of the first elastic element abut against the nut and the step, respectively. The first elastic element has a tendency to move the step away from the fixing mechanism.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the spring plunger includes a sleeve, a movable member, and a second elastic member. The sleeve is slidably connected to the movable member and connected to the fixing mechanism. The second elastic member is disposed inside the sleeve, and its two ends abut against the movable member and the sleeve, respectively. The second elastic member has a tendency to press the spring plunger against the top post.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a head and a main tube;

[0021] The machine head is disposed at one end of the main tube, and the machine head is connected to the main tube;

[0022] The main tube extends into the fixing mechanism and is rotatably connected to the fixing mechanism.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism further includes a handle;

[0024] The handle is connected to the machine head, and the handle is set at an angle to the main tube. The handle drives the machine head and the main tube to rotate relative to the fixing mechanism.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a body and a clamp;

[0026] The fuselage is connected to the clamp, the clamp is connected to the hull, and the fuselage is rotatably connected to the main engine tube.

[0027] This utility model also provides an outboard motor, comprising:

[0028] propeller;

[0029] A propulsion motor, which drives the propeller to rotate;

[0030] A battery pack for supplying power to the propulsion motor;

[0031] The outboard motor locking device, wherein the battery pack is detachably connected to the outboard motor locking device described in any of the preceding embodiments.

[0032] This utility model also provides a ship, including a hull and an outboard motor, wherein the outboard motor is installed on the hull.

[0033] This utility model provides an outboard motor locking device, comprising a fixing mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The fixing mechanism is used to connect to the hull and is also rotatably connected to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is provided with a mounting position for installing a battery pack. The locking mechanism is disposed within the fixing mechanism and the rotating mechanism, and is movable relative to the fixing mechanism and the rotating mechanism. The axis of the locking mechanism is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism. When the battery pack is placed in the mounting position, the battery pack pushes the locking mechanism to move to a first state, allowing the rotating mechanism to rotate relative to the fixing mechanism. When the battery pack is not placed in the mounting position, the locking mechanism moves to a second state to restrict the relative rotation between the rotating mechanism and the fixing mechanism. Thus, when the battery pack is removed from the mounting position, the locking mechanism can move to the second state relative to the fixing mechanism and the rotating mechanism, fixing the rotating mechanism and the fixing mechanism, thereby facilitating the installation of a new battery pack. After the battery pack is installed in the mounting position, the battery pack pushes the locking mechanism to move to the first state, allowing the rotating mechanism and the fixing mechanism to rotate. This invention solves the technical problem of difficulty in battery installation caused by the rotation of the rotating mechanism during battery pack installation, achieving the technical effect of a more stable rotating mechanism and easier battery pack installation.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In related technologies, batteries are generally connected to the outboard motor body via pins and then secured with bolts. However, when connecting the battery to the outboard motor body, the outboard motor body can rotate relative to the hull, making it difficult to align the battery during connection and resulting in installation difficulties.

[0042] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Some embodiments of this utility model provide an outboard motor locking device 1, including a fixing mechanism 10, a rotating mechanism 20, and a locking mechanism 30. The fixing mechanism 10 is used to connect to the hull and is also rotatably connected to the rotating mechanism 20. The rotating mechanism 20 is provided with a mounting position 204 for mounting a battery pack 40. The locking mechanism 30 is disposed within the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20. The locking mechanism 30 is movable relative to the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20. The axis of the locking mechanism 30 is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism 20. When the battery pack 40 is placed in the mounting position 204, the battery pack 40 pushes the locking mechanism 30 to move to a first state so that the rotating mechanism 20 can rotate relative to the fixing mechanism 10. When the battery pack 40 is not placed in the mounting position 204, the locking mechanism 30 moves to a second state to restrict the relative rotation between the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10.

[0043] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the fixing mechanism 10 can be made of metal and can be fixedly connected to the stern of the hull. The fixing mechanism 10 has a flat surface. The rotating mechanism 20 is inserted into the fixing mechanism 10, causing it to abut against the flat surface, thus allowing the rotating mechanism 20 to be rotatably connected to the fixing mechanism 10. A mounting position 204 is provided on the side of the rotating mechanism 20 away from the fixing mechanism 10, i.e., the side away from the ground. The battery pack 40 is detachably connected to the mounting position 204 and can be connected to the rotating mechanism 20 by bolts. Locking mechanisms 30 are respectively disposed within the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20. Specifically, the locking mechanism 30 is connected to both the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20. Part of the locking mechanism 30 is disposed within and passes through the rotating mechanism 20, while another part is disposed on the side of the fixing mechanism 10 that abuts against the rotating mechanism 20. Furthermore, the length direction of the locking mechanism 30 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism 20, and the axis of the locking mechanism 30 in the length direction is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism 20, so that after the locking mechanism 30 connects the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20, the rotating mechanism 20 cannot continue to rotate relative to the fixing mechanism 10. When the battery pack 40 is installed on the mounting position 204, the battery pack 40 presses the locking mechanism 30, causing the locking mechanism 30 to move relative to the rotating mechanism 20 and move to the first state. At this time, the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10 can rotate relative to each other. When the battery pack 40 is removed from the mounting position 204, since the locking mechanism 30 is not pressed by the battery pack 40, the locking mechanism 30 will move relative to the rotating mechanism 20 to the second state. At this time, the locking mechanism 30 will be inserted into the gap between the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating mechanism 20 relative to the fixing mechanism 10. Thus, when installing the battery pack 40, the rotating mechanism 20 can be fixed relative to the fixing mechanism 10, reducing the difficulty of installing and fixing the battery pack 40.

[0044] Some embodiments of this utility model provide an outboard motor locking device 1, including a fixing mechanism 10, a rotating mechanism 20, and a locking mechanism 30. The fixing mechanism 10 is used to connect to the hull and is also rotatably connected to the rotating mechanism 20. The rotating mechanism 20 is provided with a mounting position 204 for mounting a battery pack 40. The locking mechanism 30 is disposed within the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20, and the locking mechanism 30 is movable relative to the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20. The axis of the locking mechanism 30 is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism 20. When the battery pack 40 is placed in the mounting position 204, the battery pack 40 pushes the locking mechanism 30 to move to a first state so that the rotating mechanism 20 can rotate relative to the fixing mechanism 10. When the battery pack 40 is not placed in the mounting position 204, the locking mechanism 30 moves to a second state to restrict the relative rotation between the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10. Therefore, when the battery pack 40 is removed, the locking mechanism 30 can move to the second state relative to the fixing mechanism 10 and the rotating mechanism 20, fixing the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10, thus facilitating the installation of a new battery pack 40. After the battery pack 40 is installed, the battery pack 40 pushes the locking mechanism 30 to the first state, allowing the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10 to rotate. This solves the technical problem of difficulty in battery installation caused by the rotation of the rotating mechanism 20 during battery pack 40 installation, achieving the technical effect of a more stable rotating mechanism 20 and easier battery pack 40 installation.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the locking mechanism 30 includes a top post 301 and a spring plunger 302; the top post 301 and the spring plunger 302 are arranged on the same straight line, the top post 301 is slidably connected to the rotating mechanism 20, and the spring plunger 302 is connected to the fixing mechanism 10. One end of the top post 301 abuts against the spring plunger 302, and the other end extends out of the rotating mechanism 20; when the battery pack 40 is placed in the mounting position 204, the battery pack 40 presses the spring plunger 302 through the top post 301, so that the spring plunger 302 moves out of the rotating mechanism 20; when the battery pack 40 is not placed in the mounting position 204, the spring plunger 302 extends into the rotating mechanism 20.

[0046] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, both the top post 301 and the spring plunger 302 are cylindrical. The axis of the top post 301 and the axis of the spring plunger 302 are aligned on the same straight line. One end of the top post 301 and one end of the spring plunger 302 abut against each other. The top post 301 is slidably connected to the rotating mechanism 20. The length of the top post 301 can be the same as the height of the rotating mechanism 20. The spring plunger 302 is located inside the fixed mechanism 10. The spring plunger 302 is located on the side of the fixed mechanism 10 facing the rotating mechanism 20. One end of the spring plunger 302 can extend and retract, and the spring plunger 302 can extend into the channel where the top post 301 is located. At this time, the spring plunger 302 connects the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixed mechanism 10. The rotating mechanism 20 and the fixed mechanism 10 are relatively fixed. The side of the top post 301 away from the spring plunger 302 extends out through the surface of the rotating mechanism 20. After the battery pack 40 is installed in the mounting position 204, the battery pack 40 can squeeze the protruding top post 301 and squeeze the spring plunger 302 through the top post 301, so that the spring plunger 302 is separated from the rotating mechanism 20. At this time, the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10 can be unlocked.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 20 is provided with a first receiving cavity 205 and a second receiving cavity 206 that communicate with each other. The diameter of the second receiving cavity 206 is larger than the diameter of the first receiving cavity 205. The top post 301 includes a post 3011 and a step 3012 surrounding the post 3011. The post 3011 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 205 and the second receiving cavity 206 and is movable along the axial direction of the first receiving cavity 205. The step 3012 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 206 and is movable along the axial direction of the second receiving cavity 206. The step 3012 can abut against the side of the second receiving cavity 206 that connects to the first receiving cavity 205 to limit the movement distance of the post 3011. The spring plunger 302 abuts against the end of the top post 301 that is away from the first receiving cavity 205.

[0048] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, both the first accommodating cavity 205 and the second accommodating cavity 206 are cylindrical and their axes coincide. The first accommodating cavity 205 and the second accommodating cavity 206 are connected. The column 3011 and the step 3012 can be integrally formed. The diameter of the step 3012 is larger than the diameter of the column 3011. The step 3012 can be disposed in the second accommodating cavity 206, so that the step 3012 can slide in the second accommodating cavity 206. The diameter of the column 3011 is smaller than the diameter of the first accommodating cavity 205, so that the column 3011 can slide in the first accommodating cavity 205. Meanwhile, the diameter of the step 3012 is smaller than the diameter of the second accommodating cavity 206 but larger than the diameter of the first accommodating cavity 205. Thus, during the sliding process of the step 3012 relative to the second accommodating cavity 206, the step 3012 can abut against the end of the second accommodating cavity 206 near the first accommodating cavity 205, thereby limiting the movement distance of the step 3012 and the column 3011. At this time, part of the column 3011 extends out through the surface of the rotating mechanism 20.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the locking mechanism 30 further includes a nut 303 and a first elastic member 304; the nut 303 is disposed within the second receiving cavity 206 and sleeved on the end of the top post 301 near the spring plunger 302. The first elastic member 304 is sleeved on the outside of the post 3011, and its two ends abut against the nut 303 and the step 3012 respectively, and the first elastic member 304 has a tendency to move the step 3012 away from the fixing mechanism 10.

[0050] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the nut 303 may have threads on its outer diameter and a smooth inner diameter. The nut 303 may be threaded to the inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 206 through its external threads. After the nut 303 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 206, the surface of the nut 303 is flush with the surface of the rotating mechanism 20 on the side close to the fixed mechanism 10 to avoid the nut 303 rubbing against the fixed mechanism 10 during rotation. Furthermore, the first elastic element 304 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 206. The two ends of the first elastic element 304 abut against the nut 303 and the step 3012 respectively. The first elastic element 304 has a tendency to move the step 3012 away from the fixing mechanism 10. Thus, after the battery pack 40 is removed, the first elastic element 304 can drive the step 3012 and the column 3011 to move away from the fixing mechanism 10, so that the column 3011 extends out through the surface of the rotating mechanism 20, and the spring plunger 302 can extend into the second accommodating cavity 206 through the inner diameter of the nut 303 under its own elastic action, so that the connection between the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixing mechanism 10 is fixed.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the spring plunger 302 includes a sleeve 3021, a movable member 3022, and a second elastic member 3023. The sleeve 3021 is slidably connected to the movable member 3022. The sleeve 3021 is connected to the fixing mechanism 10. The second elastic member 3023 is disposed inside the sleeve 3021. The two ends of the second elastic member 3023 abut against the movable member 3022 and the sleeve 3021, respectively. The second elastic member 3023 has a tendency to press the spring plunger 302 against the top post 301.

[0052] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 3021 can be made of metal. A groove is provided on the side of the fixing mechanism 10 that abuts against the rotating mechanism 20. The sleeve 3021 is disposed within the groove and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A second elastic element 3023 and a movable element 3022 are provided inside the sleeve 3021. The movable element 3022 can be cylindrical and can extend from the end of the sleeve 3021 near the rotating mechanism 20. The second elastic element 3023 can also be a spring. Both ends of the second elastic element 3023 can abut against the movable element 3022 and the bottom wall of the sleeve 3021 respectively, so that the second elastic element 3023 can push the movable element 3022 to press against the end face of the column 3011. In the first state, the battery pack 40 pushes the movable member 3022 through the column 3011, causing the movable member 3022 to compress the second elastic member 3023, so that the surface of the movable member 3022 is flush with the surface of the fixed mechanism 10 near the rotating mechanism 20. At this time, the rotating mechanism 20 can rotate relative to the fixed mechanism 10. When it is necessary to remove the battery pack 40, the rotating mechanism 20 is rotated to a specific position, that is, the end face of the movable member 3022 abuts against the end face of the column 3011, and then the battery pack 40 is removed. At this time, there is no battery pack 40 pressing on the column 3011. The step 3012 drives the column 3011 to move under the action of the first elastic member 304, and the movable member 3022 also extends into the nut 303 under the action of the second elastic member 3023, so that the rotating mechanism 20 and the fixed mechanism 10 are relatively fixed.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 20 includes a head 201 and a main tube 202; the head 201 is disposed at one end of the main tube 202 and is connected to the main tube 202; the main tube 202 extends into the fixing mechanism 10 and is rotatably connected to the fixing mechanism 10.

[0054] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the machine head 201 can be connected to the main tube 202. The side of the machine head 201 away from the main tube 202 is provided with a mounting position 204, and the machine head 201 is provided with a first receiving cavity 205 and a second receiving cavity 206. The machine head 201 can be connected to the main tube 202, and the main tube 202 is inserted into the fixing mechanism 10. At the same time, both the machine head 201 and the main tube 202 are rotatably connected to the fixing mechanism 10, thereby realizing the rotation of the machine head 201 and the main tube 202 relative to the fixing mechanism 10.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 20 further includes a handle 203; the handle 203 is connected to the machine head 201, and the handle 203 is set at an angle to the main tube 202, and the handle 203 drives the machine head 201 and the main tube 202 to rotate relative to the fixed mechanism 10.

[0056] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handle 203 can be hinged to the machine head 201 so that the operator can adjust the angle between the handle 203 and the main tube 202, thereby driving the machine head 201 and the main tube 202 to rotate relative to the fixed mechanism 10 at different heights.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the fixing mechanism 10 includes a fuselage 101 and a clamp 102; the fuselage 101 and the clamp 102 are connected, the clamp 102 is connected to the hull, and the fuselage 101 is rotatably connected to the main engine tube 202.

[0058] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fuselage 101 and the clamp 102 are fixedly connected. Both the fuselage 101 and the clamp 102 can be made of metal. The fuselage 101 can be located on the side of the clamp 102 away from the hull. The clamp 102 is detachably connected to the hull and clamps the bow or stern of the hull, while the fuselage 101 can abut against the nose 201. Furthermore, a through hole can be provided on the fuselage 101, into which the main engine tube 202 is inserted. The main engine tube 202 can rotate relative to the fuselage 101, thereby enabling the nose 201 and the main engine tube 202 to be rotatably connected to the hull through the clamp 102 and the fuselage 101.

[0059] Optionally, the outboard motor locking device 1 may also include a guide tube 50; the guide tube 50 covers the main motor tube 202 and is connected to the side of the hull 101 opposite to the engine head 201. The main motor tube 202 extends into the guide tube 50 and is fixedly connected to it. When the handle 203 rotates the engine head 201 and the main motor tube 202, the guide tube 50 rotates under the influence of the main motor tube 202. The sidewall of the guide tube 50 is curved, and the cross-section of the guide tube 50 can be teardrop-shaped, so that the shape of the guide tube 50 conforms to hydrodynamics, thereby reducing the resistance of the water flow to the guide tube 50.

[0060] Some embodiments of this utility model also provide an outboard motor 2, including: a propeller 3; a propulsion motor 4, the propulsion motor 4 being used to drive the propeller 3 to rotate; a battery pack 40, the battery pack 40 being used to supply power to the propulsion motor 4; and an outboard motor locking device 1, the battery pack 40 being detachably connected to the outboard motor locking device 1.

[0061] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery pack 40 and propulsion motor 4 can be fixed underwater. The propeller 3 is mounted on the output shaft of the propulsion motor 4, so that the propulsion motor 4 can drive the propeller 3 to rotate and output propulsion force. The propulsion motor 4 can be fixedly connected to the main tube 202, and the guide pipe 50 can be sleeved on the main tube 202 and fixedly connected to the main tube 202.
