[0006] A ratchet is integrated into one of the control lever and the body. The axis of the ratchet is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the control lever relative to the body. The ratchet has multiple ratchet teeth, each of which is used to limit the rotational position of the control lever relative to the body.

[0007] A pawl has a first end that engages with a plurality of ratchet teeth and a second end opposite to the first end. The second end is movably connected to the control lever and the other of the body. The movement of the second end causes the first end to engage or disengage with the ratchet teeth.

[0008] A first elastic element, connected to the pawl, and connected to the control lever and the one connected to the pawl in the body, is used to provide an elastic force for the first end to separate from the ratchet tooth;

[0009] An operating element is operably connected to the control lever and the body, one of which is connected to the pawl. The operating element is driven to the second end via a transmission mechanism. The operating element has a first operating position and a second operating position.

[0010] In the first operating position, the operating member overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member and drives the first end of the pawl to engage with a portion of the ratchet teeth via the transmission mechanism, thereby fixing the control lever relative to the machine body. In the second operating position, the operating member releases the drive on the pawl, allowing the elastic force of the first elastic member to drive the first end to separate from a portion of the ratchet teeth, thereby allowing the control lever to rotate freely relative to the machine body.

[0011] Optionally, the hollow portion of the ratchet is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth, and the pawl is located in the hollow portion.

[0012] Optionally, the operating member is rotatably connected to the operating lever or the machine body, and the transmission mechanism is provided with an abutment part, which is an eccentric part or a cam part. The operating member is used to drive the abutment part to rotate, so that the abutment part abuts against the pawl, and drives the first end of the pawl to engage with the ratchet tooth.

[0013] Optionally, the operating member is connected to either the control lever or the pawl in the body via a second elastic member, so that the operating member can maintain its posture relative to the control lever or the body under the elastic force of the second elastic member.

[0014] Optionally, the operating member is connected to the control lever via the second elastic member. One of the control lever and the operating member is provided with a plurality of first limiting portions, and the other of the control lever and the operating member is provided with a second limiting portion. The second limiting portion can engage with at least one of the plurality of first limiting portions under the action of the second elastic member; or...

[0015] The operating component is connected to the machine body via the second elastic element. One of the machine body and the operating component is provided with a plurality of first limiting parts, and the other of the machine body and the operating component is provided with a second limiting part. The second limiting part can cooperate with at least one of the plurality of first limiting parts under the action of the second elastic element.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0023] This application provides an operating device, a water propulsion device, and a water-based mobile device. When the operating component is in a first operating position, it can drive the pawl through a transmission mechanism to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element, causing the first end of the pawl to engage with the ratchet teeth, thereby fixing the control lever relative to the body and locking the control lever. When the operating component is in a second operating position, it reduces or removes the drive on the pawl through the transmission mechanism. The pawl is driven by the elastic force of the first elastic element, causing the first end of the pawl to separate from the ratchet teeth, allowing the control lever to rotate freely relative to the body, thus achieving adjustable attitude of the control lever relative to the body. After the attitude adjustment of the control lever is completed, the operating component can be returned to the first operating position, causing the pawl and ratchet teeth to engage again, so that the control lever maintains the adjusted attitude.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this application.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an operating device 100, which includes a control lever 10, a ratchet 20, a pawl 30, a first elastic element 40, and an operating element 50. The control lever 10 is used to rotatably connect to the body 200 of a water propulsion device. The ratchet 20 is integrally formed with one of the control lever 10 and the body 200, and the axis of the ratchet 20 is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the control lever 10 relative to the body 200. The ratchet 20 has a plurality of ratchet teeth 21, each of which is used to limit the rotational position of the control lever 10 relative to the body 200. The pawl 30 has a first end 31 that engages with the plurality of ratchet teeth 21 and a second end 32 opposite to the first end 31. The second end 32 is movably connected to the other of the control lever 10 and the body 200, and the movement of the second end 32 causes the first end 31 to engage or disengage with the ratchet teeth 21. The first elastic element 40 is connected to the pawl 30 and also to the control lever 10 and the body 200 connected to the pawl 30. The first elastic element 40 provides an elastic force to separate the first end 31 from the ratchet 21. The operating element 50 is operably connected to the control lever 10 and the body 200 connected to the pawl 30. The operating element 50 is driven to the second end 32 via a transmission mechanism 60. The operating element 50 has a first operating position and a second operating position. In the first operating position, the operating element 50 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element 40 and, via the transmission mechanism 60, drives the first end 31 of the pawl 30 to engage with a portion of the ratchet 21, thus fixing the control lever 10 relative to the body 200. In the second operating position, the operating element 50 releases the drive on the pawl 30, allowing the elastic force of the first elastic element 40 to drive the first end 31 to separate from the portion of the ratchet 21, allowing the control lever 10 to rotate freely relative to the body 200.

[0038] Understandably, when the operating member 50 is in the first operating position, the operating member 50 can drive the pawl 30 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 40 through the transmission mechanism 60, so that the first end 31 of the pawl 30 engages with the ratchet 21, thereby limiting the control lever 10 to be fixed relative to the body 200, thus locking the control lever 10 and preventing the control lever 10 from rotating relative to the body 200. When the operating member 50 is in the second operating position, the operating member 50 reduces or removes the drive on the pawl 30 through the transmission mechanism 60. The pawl 30 is driven by the elastic force of the first elastic member 40, so that the first end 31 of the pawl 30 separates from the ratchet 21, and the control lever 10 can rotate freely relative to the body 200, thus making the attitude of the control lever 10 relative to the body 200 adjustable. After the attitude adjustment of the control lever 10 is completed, the operating member 50 can be put back into the first operating position, so that the pawl 30 and the ratchet 21 engage again, and the control lever 10 is kept in the adjusted attitude.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the body 200 includes a connecting part 210, a first mounting part 220 and a second mounting part 230. The first mounting part 220 and the second mounting part 230 are spaced apart on the connecting part 210. The control lever 10 is rotatably connected to the first mounting part 220 and / or the second mounting part 230.

[0040] For example, the pawl 30 is rotatably or slidably connected to the machine body 200, and the ratchet 20 is integrally set to the control lever 10 by means of integral casting, integral injection molding, or integral welding. The ratchet 20 and the control lever 10 being integral means that the ratchet 20 and the control lever 10 are not detachable; that is, disassembling the ratchet 20 and the control lever 10 would cause structural damage to both and would be irreversible. The operating element 50 is rotatably or slidably connected to the machine body 200, and the operating element 50 can rotate or slide relative to the machine body 200 to switch between a first operating position and a second operating position.

[0041] For example, the first elastic element 40 includes, but is not limited to, torsion springs, extension springs, and sheet springs.

[0042] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the hollow portion 20a of the ratchet 20 is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth 21, and the pawl 30 is located in the hollow portion 20a. It can be understood that the ratchet 20 is an internally engaged ratchet 20, which has a hollow portion 20a, and the pawl 30 is located in the hollow portion 20a and can move within the hollow portion 20a to switch between a state of engagement with the ratchet teeth 21 located in the hollow portion 20a and a state of disengagement from the ratchet teeth 21, thereby improving space utilization.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control lever 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the body 200 and has a through hole 10a. The ratchet 20 can be disposed in the through hole 10a. A first connecting member 240 is provided on the first mounting part 220. A second connecting member 250 can be located on the side of the first connecting member 240 opposite to the first mounting part 220 and connected to the first connecting member 240. The side of the second connecting member 250 opposite to the first connecting member 240 can be connected to the wall of the through hole 10a through a rotating bearing 260, so that the control lever 10 can rotate relative to the body 200. The ratchet 20 and the pawl 30 can be located between the first connecting member 240 and the second connecting member 250, and the pawl 30 can be movably connected to the first connecting member 240 and / or the second connecting member 250, so that the pawl 30 is movably connected to the body 200.

[0044] For example, the first connector 240 and the second connector 250 can be connected by fasteners, or the first connector 240 and the second connector 250 can be snapped together.

[0045] For example, the first connector 240 and / or the second connector 250 partially extend into the hollow portion 20a of the ratchet 20. When the operating member 50 is in the second operating position, the control lever 10 can drive the ratchet 20 to rotate around the first connector 240 and / or the second connector 250 under the action of external force.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first elastic member 40 includes a telescopic spring. The first elastic member 40 is located in the hollow portion 20a. The second connecting member 250 can partially extend into the hollow portion 20a and is connected to one end of the first elastic member 40. The other end of the first elastic member 40 is connected to the first end 32 of the pawl 30 so that the first elastic member 40 can provide elastic force to the pawl 30.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the ratchet 20 may also be an externally meshing ratchet 20, with the pawl 30 movably disposed on the outer periphery of the ratchet 20, and the pawl 30 being able to switch between a state of engagement with the ratchet 21 and a state of disengagement from the ratchet 21.

[0048] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the operating member 50 is rotatably connected to the operating lever or the body 200, and the transmission mechanism 60 is provided with an eccentric part or a cam part 61. The operating member 50 is used to drive the eccentric part or the cam part 61 to rotate. The eccentric part or the cam part 61 abuts against the pawl 30, so that the first end 31 of the pawl 30 engages with the ratchet 21. It can be understood that the eccentric part is eccentrically set relative to the rotation center of the transmission mechanism 60. When the operating member 50 drives the eccentric part to rotate, the eccentric part abuts against the pawl 30, and the eccentric part can drive the pawl 30 to move towards the ratchet 21, so that the pawl 30 engages with the ratchet 21. When the operating member 50 rotates and drives the cam part 61 to drive the transmission, the pawl 30 abuts against the cam part 61 and can slide along the curved trajectory of the cam part 61. The cam part 61 can drive the pawl 30 to move towards the ratchet 21, so that the pawl 30 engages with the ratchet 21.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, the second end 32 of the pawl 30 is rotatably connected to the body 200. When the operating member 50 rotates and drives the cam part 61 to rotate, the pawl 30 slides along the curved trajectory of the cam part 61 and rotates relative to the body 200. When the pawl 30 slides relative to the tip of the cam part 61, the first end 31 of the pawl 30 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 40 under the thrust of the cam part 61 and rotates towards the ratchet 21, so that the pawl 30 meshes with the ratchet 21. At this time, the operating member 50 is in the first operating position. When the operating member 50 is in the first operating position, the operating member 50, the cam part 61 and the pawl 30 remain stationary. The pawl 30 remains meshed with the ratchet 21, so that the ratchet 20 cannot rotate relative to the body 200 under the limiting action of the pawl 30. The ratchet 20 is integrated with the control lever 10, so the control lever 10 cannot rotate relative to the body 200 under the action of external force. During the process of switching the operating member 50 from the first operating position to the second operating position, the operating member 50 drives the cam part 61 to continue rotating in the original direction or drives the cam part 61 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the pawl 30 continues to slide relative to the cam part 61 from the tip of the cam part 61. The cam part 61 releases the thrust on the pawl 30, and the pawl 30 rotates away from the ratchet 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 40, so that the pawl 30 separates from the ratchet 21. At this time, the control lever 10 can be operated to drive the ratchet 20 to rotate relative to the body 200, thereby adjusting the attitude of the control lever 10 relative to the body 200.

[0050] In some embodiments, with the operating element 50 rotatably connected to either the control lever 10 or the body 200 connected to the pawl 30, the operating element 50 is connected to either the control lever 10 or the body 200 connected to the pawl 30 via a second elastic element 70, so that the operating element 50 can maintain its posture relative to the control lever 10 or the body 200 under the elastic force of the second elastic element 70.

[0051] For example, the operating member 50 can be held in the first operating position under the elastic force of the second elastic member 70, so that the transmission mechanism 60 drives the first end 31 of the pawl 30 to be stably engaged with part of the ratchet 21, and the control lever 10 is stably held in the adjusted posture relative to the body 200.

[0052] For example, the second elastic element 70 includes, but is not limited to, torsion springs, extension springs, and sheet springs.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the operating member 50 is operably connected to the control lever 10, the operating member 50 is also connected to the control lever 10 via a second elastic member 70. One of the control lever 10 and the operating member 50 is provided with a plurality of first limiting portions 2411, and the other of the control lever 10 and the operating member 50 is provided with a second limiting portion 521. The second limiting portion 521 can engage with at least one of the plurality of first limiting portions 2411 under the action of the second elastic member 70. Thus, by engaging with different first limiting portions 2411, the movement of the operating member 50 relative to the control lever 10 can be further restricted, allowing the operating member 50 to stably maintain its posture relative to the control lever 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the operating member 50 is operably connected to the fuselage 200, the operating member 50 is also connected to the fuselage 200 via a second elastic member 70. One of the fuselage 200 and the operating member 50 is provided with a plurality of first limiting portions 2411, and the other of the fuselage 200 and the operating member 50 is provided with a second limiting portion 521. The second limiting portion 521 can engage with at least one of the plurality of first limiting portions 2411 under the action of the second elastic member 70. Thus, by engaging with different first limiting portions 2411, the movement of the operating member 50 relative to the fuselage 200 can be further restricted, allowing the operating member 50 to stably maintain its posture relative to the fuselage 200.

[0055] For example, there may be one or more second limiting parts 521, and any one of the second limiting parts 521 can be limited and cooperated with different first limiting parts 2411.

[0056] Furthermore, the first limiting part 2411 includes a slot, and the second limiting part 521 includes a locking block, which is used to engage with the slot. By engaging the locking block with the slot, the movement of the operating member 50 relative to the control stick 10 or the body 200 can be more effectively restricted, so that the operating member 50 maintains the posture relative to the control stick 10 or the body 200.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the operating component 50 is rotatably connected to the machine body 200. The operating component 50 is provided with a locking block, and the machine body 200 is provided with multiple locking slots. The multiple locking slots are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the operating component 50. When the operating component 50 is in the first operating position, the locking block is engaged in one locking slot. When the operating component 50 is in the second operating position, the locking block is engaged in another locking slot.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second elastic element 70 is a telescopic spring. The telescopic direction of the second elastic element 70 can be parallel to the rotation direction of the operating element 50. The operating element 50 can stretch the second elastic element 70 under the action of the first external force, so that the operating element 50 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic element 70 and drives the card block to disengage from the card slot. The operating element 50 can rotate relative to the machine body 200 and drive the card block to engage with another card slot.

[0059] For example, a plurality of second limiting portions 521 are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the operating member 50.

[0060] For example, the walls on opposite sides of the slot along the rotation direction of the operating member 50 are inclined or curved surfaces, so that the card block can disengage from the slot along the walls on both sides of the slot.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the operating member 50 includes a handle 51 and a drive shaft 53. A first sleeve 52 is provided on one side of the handle 51, which can pass through a first clearance hole 221 to achieve a rotatable connection between the operating member 50 and the first mounting part 220. A locking block protrudes from the side of the first sleeve 52 away from the handle 51. The first connecting member 240 has a second sleeve 241, which can pass through the first clearance hole 221 of the first mounting part 220. The first sleeve 52 can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the second sleeve 241. Multiple locking grooves are provided on the outer periphery of the second sleeve 241, spaced apart along the rotation direction of the operating member 50. The locking block on the first sleeve 52 can engage with at least one of the multiple locking grooves. One end of the drive shaft 53 is connected to the handle 51, and the other end passes through the first clearance hole 221 and the second clearance hole 240a and is then connected to the transmission mechanism 60.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive shaft 53 has a stepped surface 531. The second elastic element 70 is a telescopic spring. The telescopic spring can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 53. One end of the telescopic spring abuts against the first connecting member 240, and the other end abuts against the stepped surface 531 of the drive shaft 53. The second elastic element 70 provides elastic force to the drive shaft 53, so that the drive shaft 53 drives the locking block provided on the first sleeve 52 to engage with the locking groove.

[0063] For example, the shape of the card slot matches the shape of the card block to increase the contact area between the card block and the card slot, ensuring the stability of the card block when it is engaged in the card slot.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the multiple slots include at least a first slot 2411a and a second slot 2411b. Along the extension and retraction direction of the second elastic member 70, the depth of the first slot 2411a is different from the depth of the second slot 2411b. When the operating member 50 is in the first operating position, the locking block engages with the first slot 2411a; when the operating member 50 is in the second operating position, the locking block engages with the second slot 2411b. It is understandable that the different depths of the first slot 2411a and the second slot 2411b achieve a foolproof effect, allowing the operator to determine whether the operating member 50 is in the first or second operating position based on the engagement state of the locking block and the slot, thereby determining the state of the pawl 30.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the depth of the first groove 2411a is less than the depth of the second groove 2411b. When the locking block is engaged in the first groove 2411a, the handle 51 drives the transmission shaft 53 to compress the second elastic element 70, resulting in a greater deformation of the second elastic element 70. This provides a greater elastic force, which is beneficial for the transmission shaft 53. Conversely, when the locking block is engaged in the second groove 2411b, the deformation of the second elastic element 70 is smaller, resulting in a smaller elastic force. The greater depth of the second groove 2411b prevents the locking block from dislodging from it.

[0066] In some embodiments, the operating element 50 is magnetically connected to either the operating lever or the body 200, which is connected to the pawl 30, so that the operating element 50 can maintain its posture relative to the operating lever 10 or the body 200 under the action of magnetic attraction. This allows the transmission mechanism 60 to drive the first end 31 of the pawl 30 to maintain a stable engagement with a portion of the ratchet teeth 21, so that the operating lever 10 is more stably maintained in the adjusted posture relative to the body 200.

[0067] For example, the fuselage 200 is provided with two first magnetic attractors at intervals, and the operating member 50 is provided with at least one second magnetic attractor. When the operating member 50 is in the first operating position, the second magnetic attractor is magnetically connected to one of the first magnetic attractors. When the operating member 50 is in the second operating position, the second magnetic attractor is magnetically connected to the other first magnetic attractor, so as to stably limit the posture of the operating member 50 relative to the fuselage 200.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the operating member 50 is provided with a first engaging portion 54, and the transmission mechanism 60 is provided with a second engaging portion 62. The first engaging portion 54 is movably engaged with the second engaging portion 62. It can be understood that the movable engagement of the operating member 50 with the transmission mechanism 60 allows the operating member 50 to move relative to the transmission mechanism 60 while maintaining a transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 60. This facilitates the movement of the operating member 50 relative to the control lever 10 or the machine body 200 when connected to the second elastic member 70.

[0069] For example, the first latching portion 54 is one of a protrusion and a groove, and the second latching portion 62 is the other of a protrusion and a groove.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operating component 50 is rotatably connected to the machine body 200. The operating component 50 includes a handle 51 and a drive shaft 53. The outer periphery of the drive shaft 53 is provided with a protrusion. The transmission mechanism 60 is provided with a groove extending along the extension and retraction direction of the second elastic member 70. The protrusion is movably engaged in the groove. The drive shaft 53 can drive the protrusion to slide along the groove under the elastic force of the second elastic member 70.

[0071] For example, the protrusion engages with the drive shaft 53, or the protrusion is integrally formed with the drive shaft 53.

[0072] Secondly, this application also provides a water propulsion device 300, including a body 200 and the aforementioned operating device 100. It is understood that the water propulsion device 300 with the aforementioned operating device 100 also possesses all of its technical effects, namely, it enables the attitude adjustment of the joystick 10 relative to the body 200, and after the attitude adjustment of the joystick 10 is completed, it can again place the operating element 50 in the first operating position, so that the joystick 10 remains in the adjusted attitude.

[0073] For example, the water propulsion device 300 also includes a power unit 210, which is located on the body 200 and is signal-connected to the control lever 10 of the operating device 100. The control lever 10 is used to adjust the attitude of the power unit 210.

[0074] For example, the power unit 310 includes a drive unit and a propeller. The drive unit is located on the fuselage 200 and is driven by the propeller to drive the propeller to rotate in the water to generate thrust. The drive unit may be an electric motor capable of driving the propeller to rotate. The drive unit and the propeller may be directly driven or driven via a transmission mechanism.

[0075] For example, the water propulsion device 300 can be an outboard motor, a trolley motor, a stern motor, or other equipment that can provide power in a body of water.

[0076] Thirdly, this application also provides a water-based mobile device 400, including the water-based thruster 300 as described above.

[0077] For example, the water-mobile device 400 can be various water transportation vehicles such as commercial ships, passenger ships, yachts, fishing boats, sailboats, and civilian ships, or it can be water patrol equipment, water management equipment, water environment monitoring equipment, etc. that can move in water. This application does not specifically limit this.

[0078] For example, the water-based mobile device 400 includes a carrier 401 and a water-based thruster 300. The water-based thruster 300 is mounted on the carrier 401 to drive the carrier 401 to move or turn.

[0079] Specifically, the water thruster 300 also includes a clamp connecting the fuselage 200, which is connected to the side plate of the carrier. The clamp is equipped with a tilting shaft and a steering shaft. The fuselage 200 can tilt up and down relative to the carrier within the longitudinal section of the carrier around the tilting shaft, and the fuselage 200 can also rotate left and right around the horizontal section of the carrier around the steering shaft. When the control lever 10 is fixed to the fuselage 200, by applying a longitudinal and horizontal force to the end of the control lever 10 away from the fuselage 200, the fuselage 200 can be driven to rotate around the tilting shaft and the steering shaft, thereby adjusting the angle between the thrust of the water thruster 300 and the horizontal plane, as well as adjusting the propulsion heading angle of the water thruster 300.

[0080] In this embodiment, a rotatable grip is provided at the end of the joystick 10 away from the body 300. The joystick 10 also has a sensor that can sense the amount of rotation of the grip, and a control circuit board electrically connected to the sensor. The control circuit board is electrically connected to a drive component. Based on the amount of grip rotation sensed by the sensor, the control circuit board outputs a control command to control the power of the drive component.

[0081] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. The embodiments described above only illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
