[0032] The technical solutions in the application will be described clearly and completely in the application combined with the drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the application.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 The first aspect of the application provides a reset structure applied to an operating handle of an outboard motor, comprising:

[0034] The reset main body 01, the reset piece 02, the spring 03 and the first guide column 04; the reset piece 02 is arranged on both sides of the reset main body 01, and the reset piece 02 is used for connecting with a reset shaft on the outboard motor; the spring 03 is arranged between the front end of the reset piece 02 and the reset main body 01, and the first guide column 04 is located in the spring 03 and connected with the front end of the reset piece 02 at one end and penetrates the reset main body 01 at the other end.

[0035] The reset main body 01 is installed in the operating handle of the outboard motor, a fixing frame 13 is arranged in the operating handle, and the reset main body 01 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 13; the reset piece 02 is arranged on both sides of the reset main body 01, and a reset shaft is arranged on the outboard motor and connected with the reset piece 02 by penetrating the operating handle; a pin hole or a clamping groove can be arranged on the reset piece 02 to form a connection with the reset shaft. The front end of the reset piece 02 first abuts against the reset main body 01 through the spring 03, and then the first guide column 04 is sleeved in the spring 03, the first guide column 04 extends outward from the front end of the reset piece 02 and penetrates the reset main body 01.

[0036] When the operating handle is folded and stored, the operating handle needs to be pulled outward so as to be away from the clamping groove on the outboard motor before being folded, and since the reset main body 01 is fixedly connected with the operating handle and the reset piece 02 is connected with the reset shaft of the outboard motor, the reset main body 01 moves with the operating handle and then compresses the spring 03, and the springs 03 on both sides are radially compressed along the first guide column 04 when being compressed, so that the compression amounts of the springs 03 on both sides are synchronized.

[0037] The number of the reset pieces 02 is 2, the number of the first guide columns 04 is 2, and the number of the springs 03 is also 2. It should be noted that the first guide column 04 penetrates the reset main body 01, and the first guide column 04 can move in the reset main body 01 when the reset piece 02 moves relative to the reset main body 01, and the end of the first guide column 04 can penetrate the reset main body 01.

[0038] The front end of the reset member 02 represents the end close to the outboard motor. The spring 03 is always in a compressed state, so the reset member 02 always has a tendency to move away from the outboard motor. Therefore, when the operating handle is in use, the reset body 01 is pushed towards the outboard motor under the compression force of the spring 03.

[0039] In this embodiment, the reset member 02 is arranged on both sides of the reset body 01, and the spring 03 is arranged at the front end of the reset member 02. The two ends of the spring 03 abut against the reset member 02 and the reset body 01, respectively. The first guide column 04 is arranged in the spring 03. One end of the first guide column 04 is connected to the reset member 02, and the other end penetrates the reset body 01. When the reset member 02 is controlled to compress the spring 03, the spring 03 is compressed radially along the first guide column 04. Therefore, the lateral deviation of the spring 03 when compressed is reduced, the compression paths of the two springs 03 are parallel, the compression amounts of the two springs 03 are synchronized, and the left-right shaking of the operating handle is reduced, thereby improving the control accuracy and user experience.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the rear end of the reset member 02 is provided with a second guide column 05, and the second guide column 05 penetrates the reset body 01. The second guide column 05 is parallel to the first guide column 04.

[0041] The second guide column 05 is located at the other end (rear end) of the reset member 02. One end of the second guide column 05 is connected to the reset member 02, and the other end penetrates the reset body 01. When the reset member 02 moves relative to the reset body 01 (or the reset body 01 moves relative to the reset member 02), the first guide column 04 and the second guide column 05 move synchronously with the reset member 02.

[0042] The number of the second guide column 05 is also two. The first guide column 04 and the second guide column 05 are parallel to each other, and the first guide column 04 and the second guide column 05 located on the same side are aligned. In this embodiment, the second guide column 05 is arranged at the rear end of the reset member 02. Under the action of the first guide column 04 and the second guide column 05, the shaking degree of the reset body 01 relative to the reset member 02 is further reduced, thereby further reducing the left-right shaking of the operating handle.

[0043] In this optional embodiment, the first fixed seat 06 and the second fixed seat 07 are arranged on both sides of the reset body 01. The reset member 02 is located between the first fixed seat 06 and the second fixed seat 07. The first guide column 04 penetrates the first fixed seat 06, and the second guide column 05 penetrates the second fixed seat 07.

[0044] The first fixed seat 06 is located in the front end direction of the reset member 02, and the second fixed seat 07 is located in the rear end direction of the reset member 02. The first fixed seat 06 and the second fixed seat 07 are integrally formed with the reset main body 01. One end of the spring 03 abuts against the first fixed seat 06, and the other end abuts against the front end of the reset member 02.

[0045] The first fixed seat 06 and the second fixed seat 07 are parallel to each other, and the first fixed seat 06 and the second fixed seat 07 extend outward from the side of the reset main body 01.

[0046] In this optional embodiment, the first fixed seat 06 is provided with a reset cover 08 on the side facing away from the reset member 02, and the reset cover 08 is embedded in the first fixed seat 06.

[0047] The center of the reset cover 08 is aligned with the axis of the first guide column 04, and a recessed area is provided on the side of the first fixed seat 06 facing away from the reset member 02, and the reset cover 08 is embedded in the recessed area. The outer surface of the reset cover 08 is flush with the surface of the first fixed seat 06 (the side surface facing away from the reset member 02). By providing a reset cover 08 with greater strength on the first fixed seat 06, the first guide column 04 abuts against the reset cover 08 when the operating handle is in the use state (not in the storage state), thereby reducing damage to the first fixed seat 06.

[0048] In this optional embodiment, the reset cover 08 is connected to the first fixed seat 06 by screws. The reset cover 08 is provided with a plurality of perforations, and the screws are connected to the first fixed seat 06 through the perforations, thereby fixing the reset cover 08 on the first fixed seat 06. The number of perforations can be 2, 3, 4, etc. The number of perforations is not limited here, and the actual implementation is used as the reference.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the front end of the reset member 02 is provided with a threaded hole, and the end of the first guide column 04 close to the reset member 02 is provided with an external thread, and the other end is provided with a recessed groove.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first guide column 04 and the reset member 02 are connected in a threaded rotating manner. Specifically, the external thread on the first guide column 04 matches the threaded hole.

[0051] One end of the recessed groove is clamped on the outside of the reset cover 08, that is, one end of the recessed groove does not penetrate into the reset cover 08.

[0052] The recessed groove can be a straight line type, a cross type, or an internal hexagonal type. At the recessed groove, a screwdriver or other tools can be used to control the rotation of the first guide column 04, thereby controlling the depth of the first guide shaft embedded in the reset member 02, that is, the distance between the reset member 02 and the first fixed seat 06 in the non-stored state can be adjusted, which is convenient for adjusting the two springs 03 to be in the same compression amount.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the center of the reset body 01 is provided with a positioning aperture 09. The positioning aperture 09 is used to match the position of the fixing frame 13 in the operating handle, and the positioning aperture 09 can be aligned with the protrusion on the fixing frame 13, so as to facilitate quick installation.

[0054] In this optional embodiment, the reset body 01 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 10. The number of the fixing holes 10 can be 2, 3, 4, etc., and the specific number is not limited here, and the actual achievable number is used as the reference.

[0055] The reset body 01 and the operating handle (the fixing frame 13) are connected through bolts, and the bolts are inserted into the fixing holes 10 and then screwed into the fixing frame 13, so as to fix the reset body 01 in the operating handle.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the reset member 02 is provided with a reset pin hole 11, so that the reset shaft can pass through the reset pin hole 11.

[0057] The reset pin hole 11 penetrates the reset member 02, and the reset pin hole 11 is located at the middle position of the reset member 02. In practice, the reset shaft on the outboard engine is inserted into the reset pin hole 11 after passing through the operating handle, so as to realize the connection between the reset member 02 and the reset shaft.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 The second aspect of the present application provides an operating handle of an outboard engine, which comprises a handle body 12 and Figures 1 to 6 The reset structure of any one of the embodiments is arranged in the handle body 12, and the handle body 12 is provided with a connecting hole, so that the reset shaft on the outboard engine passes through the connecting hole and is connected with the reset structure.

[0059] Specifically, the fixing frame 13 is arranged in the operating handle, and the fixing frame 13 is also provided with an aperture at the position corresponding to the connecting hole. Therefore, the reset shaft on the outboard engine needs to pass through the connecting hole and the aperture on the fixing frame 13, and then is connected with the reset pin hole 11 on the reset member 02.

[0060] The connecting hole on the handle body 12 and the aperture on the fixing frame 13 are both waist-shaped holes, so that the operating handle can move relative to the reset shaft during the folding and storage process.
