DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following describes each of the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted in a broad sense, for example, "connection" can be detachable connection, or can be non-detachable connection; can be direct connection, or can be indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Among them, "fixed connection" can be connected to each other and the relative positional relationship after connection does not change. "Rotary connection" can be connected to each other and can rotate relative to each other after connection. The term "integrally formed" means that in the process of forming one of the plurality of components, the component is connected together with other components, without the need for reprocessing (such as bonding, welding, buckle connection, screw connection) to connect the two components together. The orientation language mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, such as "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "side", etc., is only the direction of the drawing, therefore, the orientation language used is to better, more clearly illustrate and understand the embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of a water area propeller 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application; Figure 1 is Figure 1 a structural schematic view of a partial structure of the water area propeller 100 in the embodiments of the present application. The water area propeller 100 comprises an outer engine main body 10, a clamp 20, a control handle 30 and a quick-release locking assembly 50. The clamp 20 is used to be connected with a water area carrier. The outer engine main body 10 is provided with a propelling power module 11, which is used to output propelling power. One end of the control handle 30 is rotatably connected with the outer engine main body 10. The quick-release locking assembly 50 is installed on the outer engine main body 10, and is used to be detachably fixedly connected with the clamp 20. The quick-release locking assembly 50 is also used to be detachably fixedly connected with an end of the control handle 30 which is away from the outer engine main body 10. The quick-release locking assembly 50 can selectively lock one of the clamp 20 and the control handle 30 on the outer engine main body 10, and can unlock the clamp 20 or the control handle 30 which is locked on the outer engine main body 10.

[0030] In the embodiments, the water area propeller 100 is configured as an outboard engine. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the outboard engine refers to a propelling engine which is installed on the outside of a ship body (ship side), and is usually suspended on the outside of a transom, and is also called an outboard motor, a boat engine or a hanging engine. The term "quick release" refers to that two components / elements which are connected or associated can be quickly disassembled or quickly detached; and the connection mode between two components / elements which are connected in a quick disassembly / quick detachment manner is called "quick release connection". Specifically, the quick release can refer to that the outer engine main body 10 and the clamp 20 or the control handle 30 can be quickly detached or quickly assembled through the quick-release locking assembly 50 which is provided. Correspondingly, the connection mode which is connected in the quick release manner is also called quick release connection.

[0031] Understandably, existing water propulsion systems require removing the clamp from the stern plate when disassembling from the hull. Both installation and removal of the clamp are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, disassembling the clamp along with the outer unit body results in a very heavy overall weight, making it inconvenient to carry. The water propulsion system 100 provided by this invention features a quick-release locking assembly 50 on the outer unit body 10. This quick-release locking assembly 50 can selectively lock either the clamp 20 or the control handle 30 to the outer unit body 10, and can unlock either the clamp 20 or the control handle 30 locked to the outer unit body 10. On one hand, separating the clamp 20 from the outer unit body 10 simplifies the disassembly and installation process, and the disassembled portion is relatively lightweight. Furthermore, after disassembly, the control handle 30 can be folded and secured using the quick-release locking assembly 50. The 30 locking mechanism securely holds the control handle 30, making the water propeller 100 easy to carry and preventing it from wobbling. It also allows for reuse of the quick-release locking function of the quick-release locking assembly 50. Furthermore, the quick-release locking assembly 50 integrates the locking or unlocking functions of the clamp 20 and the control handle 30, improving the integration of the water propeller 100. The quick-release locking assembly 50 is compatible with the overall shape of the outdoor unit 10 and the clamp 20 or control handle 30, resulting in a simple and compact structure that reduces the structural size of the water propeller 100, achieving lightweight and miniaturized design.

[0032] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The purpose is merely to schematically describe the arrangement of the outdoor unit body 10, clamp 20, control handle 30 and quick-release locking assembly 50, and is not to make specific limitations on the connection position, connection relationship and specific structure of each component. Figure 1 This illustration of the water propulsion device 100 is merely a structural representation of an embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute a specific limitation on the water propulsion device 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the water propulsion device 100 may include components that are more... Figure 1 The components shown may include more or fewer parts, or combinations of certain components, or different components. For example, the water propulsion unit 100 may also include, but is not limited to, a drive motor and a controller. The controller is connected to the drive motor and is used to control the operating state of the drive motor-controlled propulsion power module 11. Please refer to [further details omitted]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 4 A partially exploded view of the water thruster 100 in the image;

[0033] Figure 3 yes Figure 1An enlarged view of part I of the water propeller 100. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the outdoor unit body 10 includes a steering mount 12. The quick-release locking assembly 50 includes a mount 51, a first locking member 52, a second locking member 53, and a switch assembly 54. The mount 51 is mounted on one side of the steering mount 12. The first locking member 52, the second locking member 53, and the switch assembly 54 are mounted on the mount 51. The first locking member 52 is detachably fixedly connected to the clamp 20. The second locking member 53 is detachably fixedly connected to the control handle 30. The switch assembly 54 is used to unlock or maintain the locking of the first locking member 52 to the clamp 20, and to unlock or maintain the locking of the second locking member 53 to the control handle 30. Thus, the first locking member 52 and the second locking member 53 share the same switch assembly 54, thereby reducing the number of components, improving structural integration, and resulting in a simple and compact structure.

[0034] In some embodiments, the water propulsion unit 100 further includes a battery 40. The outer unit body 10 is provided with a battery mounting bracket 14. The battery mounting bracket 14 is used to mount the battery 40. The battery 40 is used to provide power to the propulsion power module 11. The battery 40 can be a rechargeable battery or a disposable battery. Specifically, the battery mounting bracket 14 is located at one end of the steering mounting bracket 12 and is used to support the battery 40.

[0035] Of course, in some embodiments, the quick-release locking assembly 50 may include two switch assemblies 54. One switch assembly 54 is connected to the first locking member 52 and is used to unlock or maintain the locking of the first locking member 52 to the clamp 20; the other switch assembly 54 is connected to the second locking member 53 and is used to unlock or maintain the locking of the second locking member 53 to the clamp 20. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0036] In some embodiments, the clamp 20 includes a clamping member 22 and a rotating member 23 rotatably connected to the clamping member 22. The clamping member 22 is used to clamp and fix the clamp to the water carrier. The rotating member 23 tilts relative to the clamping member 22 around the tilting shaft 24, thereby causing the propulsion power module 11 to tilt relative to the water carrier. Thus, on the one hand, the clamping member 22 can connect the outdoor unit body 10 and the water carrier, protect the water carrier, and ensure safety; on the other hand, the rotating member 23 can adjust the direction of the propulsion force output by the propulsion power module 11, thereby making the water propulsion device 100 more efficient and flexible.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 5 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1A cross-sectional view of the quick-release locking assembly 50 and locking clamp 20 in the water propeller 100. Specifically, the mounting base 51 is provided with a mounting cavity 5101 and a limiting hole 5102 and a through hole 5103 communicating with the mounting cavity 5101. The rotating member 23 is provided with a locking hole 201 corresponding to the through hole 5103. The switch assembly 54 includes a slider 541 and a movable paddle 542 provided on the slider 541. The slider 541 is movably mounted in the mounting cavity 5101. The movable paddle 542 is movably inserted into the limiting hole 5102. An inclined first abutment surface 5411 is provided on the side wall of the slider 541 near the end of the outdoor unit body 10. The first locking member 52 is movably mounted in the through hole 5103, one end of the first locking member 52 abuts against the first abutment surface 5411, and the other end of the first locking member 52 can be locked in the locking hole 201. Understandably, when the user moves the movable lever 542 toward the side closer to the outdoor unit body 10, the movable lever 542 moves within the limiting hole 5102, causing the slider 541 to slide within the mounting cavity 5101 until the first locking member 52 is pushed outward, so that the first locking member can pass through the through hole 5103 and lock into the locking hole 201 provided on the rotating member 23, thereby locking the clamp 20 onto the outdoor unit body 10; conversely, when the user moves the movable lever 542 toward the side farther from the outdoor unit body 10, the movable lever 542 moves within the limiting hole 5102, causing the slider 541 to slide within the mounting cavity 5101 until the first locking member 52 retracts into the through hole 5103, so that the first locking member disengages from the locking hole 201, thereby disengaging the rotating member 23 from the outdoor unit body 10. Thus, on the one hand, the movable paddle 542 passes through the limiting hole 5102 and protrudes from the mounting base 51, making it easier to operate the movable paddle 542 and improving the user experience; on the other hand, the slider 541 is provided with a first pressing surface 5411 that is inclined to press against the first locking member 52, thereby achieving stability and reliability of the connection between the rotating member 23 and the mounting base 51 and improving the flexibility of adjustment.

[0038] In some embodiments, the rotating member 23 is provided with a guide slope 202 at the top edge of the locking hole 201 facing the mounting base 51. The guide slope 202 penetrates the top wall of the rotating member 23 and the inner sidewall of the locking hole 201, so that the guide slope 202 can provide a guiding function for the first locking member 52 to be inserted into the locking hole 201, thereby improving the accuracy and smoothness of the first locking member 52 passing through the locking hole 201 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first locking member 52 includes a locking lever 521, a retaining ring 522, and a first elastic member 523. The first elastic member 523 is sleeved on the locking lever 521 and disposed between the retaining ring 522 and the mounting base 51, providing a restoring force for the end of the locking lever 521 to extend into the locking hole 201. The retaining ring 522 and the locking lever 521 are independently disposed and detachably connected; or, the retaining ring 522 and the locking lever 521 are integrally formed. Understandably, when one of the clamp 20 and the control handle 30 is locked on the steering mounting base 12 of the outdoor unit body 10, the slider 541 presses against the locking lever 521 to compress the first elastic member 523. Therefore, based on the elastic cooperation between the locking lever 521 and the first elastic element 523, when the clamp 20 or control handle 30 locked on the outdoor unit body 10 is in the unlocked state, the first elastic element 523 can use its elastic force to cause the locking lever 521 to automatically retract into the through hole 5103 provided on the mounting base 51 for a reset movement.

[0040] In some embodiments, the switch assembly 54 further includes a second elastic member 543. Along the direction of movement F of the movable lever 542, the second elastic member 543 is disposed between the slider 541 and the mounting base 51. Understandably, when one of the clamp 20 and the control handle 30 is locked onto the steering mounting base 12 of the outdoor unit body 10, the slider 541 presses against the locking lever 521, causing the first elastic member 523 to be in a compressed state and the second elastic member 543 to be in a stretched state. Thus, when the clamp 20 or the control handle 30 locked onto the outdoor unit body 10 is in an unlocked state, the second elastic member 543 can use its elastic force to cause the slider 541 to press against the locking lever 521 and push the locking lever 521 out of the through hole 5103.

[0041] For example, the first elastic element 523 and the second elastic element 543 are configured as springs. Of course, in some embodiments, the first elastic element 523 and the second elastic element 543 may also be configured as, but are not limited to, a spring, an elastomer, or other elastic structures with elasticity. The number of both the first elastic element 523 and the second elastic element 543 is set to two, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sliding of the movable paddle 542 relative to the mounting base 51. The number of the first elastic element 523 and the second elastic element 543 may also be one or more, and this embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the number of elastic elements.

[0042] Understandably, the movable paddle 542 can reciprocate linearly within the mounting cavity 5101 provided on the mounting base 51. Its motion control constraint is achieved by the slider 541 installed in the mounting cavity 5101 and the mounting base 51 to pre-tighten and limit the second elastic element 543, thereby realizing the reciprocating self-resetting motion of the movable paddle 542 within the mounting cavity 5101 provided on the mounting base 51.

[0043] In some embodiments, the slider 541 and / or mounting base 51 are provided with a limiting structure 5413, which defines the position of the second elastic member 543 relative to the slider 541 and / or mounting base 51. This facilitates the alignment and assembly of the second elastic member 543 and avoids the problem of the second elastic member 543 bending abnormally and failing to return to its original position, improving the reliability and smoothness of the movement of the second elastic member 543 along the movement direction F of the movable paddle 542. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the mounting base 51 is provided with a first stop block 511 and a second stop block 512 within the mounting cavity 5101. The slider 541 has two bosses 5410 on both sides along the extension / retraction direction of the first elastic member 523. The first stop block 511 is used to stop against the bosses 5410. The second elastic member 543 is disposed between the second stop block 512 and the bosses 5410. The limiting structure 5413 is configured as a limiting groove. Specifically, the boss 5410 is provided with a limiting groove, one end of the second elastic member 543 is accommodated in the limiting groove, and the other end of the second elastic member 543 is stopped by the second stop block 512. Of course, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 5413 can also be configured as a limiting rod, and the second elastic member 543 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod.

[0044] In some embodiments, the clamp 20 is provided with a guide structure 21. The outdoor unit body 10 or the mounting base 51 is provided with a matching guide structure 121 that cooperates with the guide structure 21. The guide structure 21 and the matching guide structure 121 cooperate to guide the disassembly or installation of the mounting base 51 and the clamp 20. Therefore, the cooperation between the guide structure 21 and the matching guide structure 121 can improve the reliability and accuracy of the installation of the clamp 20 and the outdoor unit body 10, and improve assembly efficiency. Specifically, one of the guide structure 21 and the matching guide structure 121 is configured as a groove structure, and the other is configured as a protrusion structure. In this embodiment, the end of the protrusion structure is chamfered, thereby improving the smoothness of the protrusion structure inserting into the groove structure and improving assembly efficiency. The matching guide structure 121 is integrally formed with the mounting base 51, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Of course, the guide structure 121 can also be detachably connected to the mounting base 51 or the outdoor unit body 10, or it can be integrally formed with the outdoor unit body 10. This utility model embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0045] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 7 and Figure 6 , Figure 2 yes Figure 7 An enlarged view of a portion of the control handle 30 of the water propulsion device 100; Figure 2 yes Figures 2 to 4The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the quick-release locking assembly 50 locking the control handle 30 in the water propulsion unit 100. One end of the control handle 30 is rotatably connected to the outboard motor body 10 via a rotating shaft 33. This facilitates adjustment of the pitch angle between the control handle 30 and the outboard motor body 10. When the propulsion vessel is in normal operation, the adjustable pitch angle of the control handle 30 can accommodate different operating heights for different operators. Furthermore, when the water propulsion unit 100 is removed from the vessel, the control handle 30 and the outboard motor body 10 can be folded together via the rotating shaft 33. The other end of the control handle 30 is lockably connected to the mounting base 51. Specifically, exemplarily, in this embodiment, a locking block 31 is also provided on the control handle 30. The second locking member 53 includes two grippers 531 and two torsion springs 532. Two grippers 531 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 51. Each torsion spring 532 is disposed on the corresponding gripper 531. An inclined second abutment surface 5412 is provided on the side wall of the slider 541 near the end of the outdoor unit body 10. When the second abutment surface 5412 disengages from the two grippers 531, the two grippers 531 remain in a normally closed state close to each other by means of the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 532, ensuring that the two grippers 531 can stably clamp the locking block 31 and prevent the control handle 30 from falling off the mounting base 51. At this time, the two grippers 531 lock the locking block 31. When the second abutment surface 5412 presses against the two grippers 531, the two grippers 531 rotate around their respective rotation axes and move towards each other, so that the two grippers 531 release the locking block 31. At this time, the torsion spring 532 undergoes elastic deformation. When the slider 541 slides toward one side of the rotating member 23, the second pressing surface 5412 disengages from the two grippers 531, and the torsion spring 532 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the two grippers 531 to be in a normally closed state close to each other. Thus, on the one hand, the locking block 31, in conjunction with the two grippers 531, can achieve all-round clamping of the workpiece. Not only can the grippers 531 clamp the protruding surface of the workpiece, but the locking block 31 can also clamp the concave surface of the workpiece, thereby providing a better clamping effect. On the other hand, by clamping the locking block 31 with the two grippers 531, it can be ensured that the control handle 30 will not loosen, making the operation simple, the structure compact, and the layout reasonable.

[0046] In this embodiment, for example, the mounting base 51 has a positioning post 513 within the mounting cavity 5101. The gripper 531 includes a connecting portion 5312 and a clamping portion 5315 connected to the connecting portion 5312. The connecting portion 5312 has a through hole 5313 and a card interface 5314 communicating with the through hole 5313. The positioning post 513 passes through the through hole 5313, and a torsion spring 532 is sleeved on the positioning post 513 and installed within the through hole 5313. One torsion arm of the torsion spring 532 is accommodated within the through hole 5313, and the other torsion arm of the torsion spring 532 passes through the card interface 5314. Thus, when the gripper 531 rotates relative to the mounting base 51, the torsion spring 532 can deform, thereby realizing the opening and closing movements of the gripper 531, and thus enabling the gripper 531 to lock or unlock the card block 31.

[0047] In some embodiments, the control handle 30 is provided with a clearance groove 301 around the locking block 31. The mounting base 51 is disposed to avoid the clearance groove 301, thereby avoiding the problem of motion interference between the control handle 30 and the mounting base 51, thus improving the safety and reliability of the water propulsion device 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the locking block 31 is provided with two first arcuate surfaces 311, and each gripper 531 is provided with a second arcuate surface 5311. The bending direction of the first arcuate surfaces 311 is opposite to the bending direction of the second arcuate surfaces 5311. This reduces friction and abrasion between the grippers 531 and the locking block 31, improves the smoothness and safety of the locking block 31 inserting into the two grippers 531, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0049] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the clamp 20 is provided with a rotating member 23. The control handle 30 is also provided with a second spring plunger 32. The end of the slider 541 facing away from the main body 10 is provided with a first connecting hole 5415 and a second connecting hole 5416. The first connecting hole 5415 is fixed in place with the rotating member 23, and the second connecting hole 5416 is fixed in place with the second spring plunger 32. Thus, the fixed engagement of the rotating member 23 with the first connecting hole 5415 and the second spring plunger 32 with the second connecting hole 5416 can limit the movement of the movable lever 542, thereby allowing the first connecting hole 5415 and the second connecting hole 5416 to limit the movable lever 542 at two different positions.

[0050] In this embodiment, for example, the locking block 31 is provided with a positioning groove 3101, and the second spring plunger 32 is installed in the positioning groove 3101. A positioning protrusion 5417 is provided at one end of the slider 541 near the second abutment surface 5412. The positioning protrusion 5417 is provided with a second connecting hole 5416 and can be inserted into the positioning groove 3101, thereby limiting the movement of the slider 541 by the second spring plunger 32. Specifically, the locking block 31 has a positioning groove 3101 in its middle. The slider 541 has a positioning protrusion 5417 at one end facing away from the steering mounting base 12.

[0051] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit body 10 is provided with a main shaft 13. A propulsion power module 11 is disposed at one end of the main shaft 13. A mounting base 51 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 13, and the rotation of the main shaft 13 relative to the mounting base 51 adjusts the direction of the propulsion force output by the propulsion power module 11. Thus, based on the ability of the main shaft 13 to rotate relative to the mounting base 51 to adjust the direction of the propulsion force output by the propulsion power module 11, the water propulsion device 100 has higher efficiency and flexibility. Of course, in some other embodiments, the mounting base 51 may also be fixedly connected to the main shaft 13.

[0052] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 The working principle of the water propeller 100 is as follows: In the initial state, since the movable paddle 542 is not positioned by the rotating member 23 or the second spring plunger 32, the movable paddle 542 is pushed to the first position by the elastic force of the second elastic member 543, and the first pressing surface 5411 of the slider 541 pushes the locking rod 521 out of the through hole 5103. The first position is the position where the movable paddle 542 is located at the end of the limiting hole 5102 closest to the rotating member 23.

[0053] The locking process of the rotating part 23 of the clamp 20 is as follows. The rotating part 23 is installed on the steering mounting seat 12 of the outdoor unit body 10 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the guide structure 121 provided on the outdoor unit body 10 is aligned and plugged into the guide structure 21 provided on the rotating part 23 of the clamp 20, so that the locking rod 521 is correctly guided to the guide slope 202 provided on the rotating part 23. The guide slope 202 drives the locking rod to retract by the insertion component force and slide into the locking hole 201, thereby realizing the smooth installation of the rotating part 23 of the clamp 20 on the outdoor unit body 10. At this time, the elastic force generated by the second elastic member 543 will push against the slider 541, and the first pressing surface 5411 of the slider 541 will then push against the locking rod 521, so that the locking rod 521 is locked in the locking hole 201, and the rotating part 23 installed on the clamp 20 is pressed by the bottom wall of the mounting seat 51 and is in a compressed state. Then, the movable lever 542 is moved from the first position to the second position. The second position is located at the middle of the limiting hole 5102 along the movement direction F of the movable lever 542. During the movement of the movable lever 542 from the first position to the second position, the second elastic element 543 is gradually compressed and deformed. The rotating element 23 undergoes a process of compression followed by release, ultimately causing the rotating element 23 to engage in the first connecting hole 5415 provided on the slider 541. After the rotating element 23 engages in the first connecting hole 5415, the elastic force generated by the recovery deformation of the second elastic element 543 can automatically drive the slider 541 back to the first position.

[0054] The unlocking process of clamp 20 is as follows. The movable lever 542 drives the slider 541 to unlock in the mounting cavity 5101 towards the side away from the steering mount 12. This causes the first pressing surface 5411 of the slider 541 to gradually disengage from the locking rod 521, the second elastic element 543 to be gradually compressed, and the first elastic element 523 to gradually recover its deformation. The elastic force generated by the first elastic element 523 drives the locking rod 521 to slide out of the locking hole 201 and retract into the through hole 5103. The rotating part 23 of clamp 20 is pulled downwards a short distance from the steering mount 12 of the outdoor unit body 10. The rotating part 23 is still partially engaged in the first connecting hole 5415 of the slider 541, and the locking rod 521 is misaligned with the locking hole 201 on the rotating part 23. When the locking lever 521 is completely disengaged from the guide ramp 202 on the rotating member 23, the second elastic member 543 gradually recovers its deformation, and the slider 541, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 543, pushes the locking lever 521 out of the through hole 5103. Since the locking lever 521 is misaligned with the locking hole 201, the locking lever 521 cannot be inserted into the locking hole 201. At this time, the user can completely remove the rotating member 23 of the clamp 20 from the steering mounting seat 12 of the outdoor unit body 10. It is worth noting that during the process of removing the rotating member 23 from the steering mounting seat 12, the first connecting hole 5415 provided with the rotating member 23 separates from the slider 541, thereby eliminating the constraint force originally applied to the slider 541. At this time, the slider 541 can achieve self-reset under the elastic force generated by the second elastic member 543.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figures 5 to 6 , ​The locking process of the control handle 30 is as follows. When the rotating part 23 of the clamp 20 is removed from the steering mounting seat 12 of the outdoor unit body 10, the control handle 30 can be locked onto the mounting seat 51 provided on the steering mounting seat 12. Specifically, the control handle 30 is rotated around the rotating shaft 33 toward the mounting seat 51, so that the first arc surface 311 of the locking block 31 provided on the control handle 30 abuts against the second arc surface 5311 of the two grippers 531. The locking block 31 uses the insertion component force to push open the two grippers 531 provided in the mounting seat 51, and the torsion spring 532 deforms. When the first arc surface 311 of the locking block 31 disengages from the abutment with the second arc surface 5311, the two grippers 531 reset and clamp again under the elastic force of the torsion spring 532, locking the locking block 31. The control handle 30 and the mounting seat 51 provided on the steering mounting seat 12 are locked together. Then, the movable paddle 542 is moved to the third position of the limiting hole 5102. The third position is located on the side of the second position away from the first position. In this embodiment, the third position is located at the end of the limiting hole 5102 furthest from the steering mounting seat 12 of the outdoor unit body 10. As the movable lever 542 moves toward the side closer to the locking block 31, the positioning protrusion 5417 gradually slides into the positioning groove 3101. The second spring plunger 32 undergoes a process of compression and release, ultimately causing the second spring plunger 32 to engage in the second connecting hole 5416 provided on the positioning protrusion 5417. This locks the control handle 30 onto the mounting seat 51 provided on the steering mounting seat 12, thus stabilizing the control handle 30 and making the entire water propulsion device 100 easy to carry, preventing the control handle 30 from shaking arbitrarily. At this time, the second elastic element 543 undergoes elastic deformation, and the second pressing surface 5412, which is close to the two grippers 531, does not press against the two grippers 531. At this time, lifting the control handle 30 allows the entire water propeller 100 to be moved. During the movement, the gravity of the water propeller 100 and the torque of the torsion spring 532, along with the torque generated by the force on the gripper 531 and the distance between the two grippers 531's symmetrical central axis, can cause the gripper 531 to continuously clamp, thus ensuring that the two grippers 531 will not separate from the locking block 31 during the movement of the entire machine, ensuring the stability and reliability of the movement process.

[0056] The unlocking process of the control handle 30 is as follows. Move the movable lever 542 to the side opposite to the steering mount 12, so that the second pressing surface 5412 of the slider 541 presses against the two grippers 531, causing the two grippers 531 to move towards each other and open, releasing the locking block 31. Since the slider 541 is limited by the second spring plunger 32 on the locking block 31 of the control handle 30, the user needs to rotate the control handle 30 upwards around the rotation axis 33 to disengage the second spring plunger 32 from the second connecting hole 5416, thereby unlocking the control handle 30 from the mounting base 51 on the steering mount 12, and allowing the control handle 30 to fold relative to the outdoor unit body 10. When the control handle 30 is unlocked and turned off from the mounting base 51, the positioning protrusion 5417 of the slider 541 loses the limiting effect of the second spring plunger 32 set on the control handle 30, thus the constraint force originally applied to the slider 541 disappears, and the constraint force originally applied to the movable paddle 542 disappears. Therefore, the slider 541 can achieve self-reset under the action of the elastic force generated by the second elastic element 543.

[0057] The utility model embodiment also provides a water-based mobile device. The water-based mobile device includes a water-based carrier and the aforementioned water-based propeller 100. The clamp 20 is connected to the water-based carrier. In this embodiment, the water-based mobile device can be various vessels such as passenger ships and yachts, with the corresponding water-based carrier being the hull, and the water-based propeller 100 being the outboard motor. Of course, the water-based mobile device can also be, but is not limited to, fishing boats, sailboats, or other vessels, and is not limited here. Therefore, the quick-release locking component 50 of the water-based propeller 100 can achieve quick-locking and unlocking between the outboard motor body 10 and the clamp 20, and also quick-locking and unlocking between the control handle 30 and the outboard motor body 10, improving the integration of the water-based propeller 100. The quick-release locking component 50 is compatible with the overall shape of the outboard motor body 10 and the clamp 20 or control handle 30, resulting in a simple and compact structure, reducing the structural size of the water-based propeller 100, achieving lightweight and miniaturized design, and improving the assembly, disassembly, replacement, and maintenance of the clamp 20 and control handle 30, making it flexible in use.
