Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boat drainage equipment technology, and in particular to a boat drainage plug. Background Technology

[0002] Boats include lure boats, kayaks, sailboats, motorboats, and yachts. These types of water vehicles are usually used to carry people, cargo, or to engage in specific water sports. During navigation or mooring, water may accumulate in the cabin or on the deck due to rain, splashing waves, and deck washing. Accumulated water increases the boat's load, affects its speed and maneuverability, and long-term water accumulation may corrode the hull materials and shorten the boat's lifespan. Therefore, a drain plug is usually installed at the lowest point of the boat's bottom to drain water and ensure that the accumulated water can flow naturally to the drain hole for easy emptying.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102616337A discloses a kayak drain plug. The key features of the solution include a drain plug opening provided in the kayak and a drain plug cover installed in the drain plug opening. The drain plug cover includes a cover body, a base abutting the bottom of the drain plug opening, and an elastic body connecting the cover body and the base. However, the position of the drain plug cover is often a certain distance from the position of the boat's control panel. When the driver needs to drain water while driving the boat carrying customers or cargo, the driver can only stop the boat and walk to the drain plug cover to pull it out for drainage, or the driver needs to bend down to pull out the cover for drainage. This not only leads to inconvenience in use, but also affects the driver's driving experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a boat drainage plug that solves the technical problem that the existing boat drainage plugs cannot be remotely controlled to open and close, resulting in inconvenience in use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a boat drainage plug, comprising:

[0006] A base for mounting at the sluice gate of a boat, the base having a drainage channel to connect the interior and exterior of the boat;

[0007] A piston, slidably connected to the seat, to block or clear the drainage channel by sliding the piston;

[0008] An adjustment knob, which is mounted on the boat's control panel;

[0009] A transmission component, one end of which is connected to the piston and the other end of which is connected to the adjustment knob, so that the adjustment knob drives the piston to reciprocate through the transmission component, thereby blocking or clearing the drainage channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the seat body is hollow to form a drainage cavity. One end of the seat body is provided with a first drainage port communicating with the drainage cavity, and the side surface of the seat body is provided with a second drainage port communicating with the drainage cavity, so as to form a drainage channel through the first drainage port, the drainage cavity and the second drainage port communicating with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the seat body includes a first housing and a second housing that engage with each other, the drainage channel is formed on the first housing, and a clearance hole is provided at the other end of the first housing. One end of the transmission member passes through the clearance hole into the drainage cavity and is connected to the piston.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjusting knob drives the piston to close or open the first drain port via the transmission component, so as to block or clear the drain channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the piston is provided with a first limiting structure to mount one end of the transmission member onto the piston via the first limiting structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the piston includes a first plug body and a second plug body that engage with each other, and the first limiting structure is a limiting groove formed between the first plug body and the second plug body.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment knob includes a first housing that can rotate relative to each other and a rotating structure. The first housing is used to be installed near the control panel of the boat. The transmission component includes a hollow tube and a guide wire. The guide wire is slidably installed inside the hollow tube, and the two ends of the guide wire respectively pass through the two ends of the hollow tube.

[0016] The first outer shell is fixedly connected to the hollow tube. The guide wire includes a first end and a second end. The first end is mounted on the rotating structure, and the second end is mounted on the piston. When the rotating structure is rotated, the first end can be stretched away from the hollow tube or retracted towards the hollow tube, thereby driving the piston to block or clear the drainage channel.

[0017] Furthermore, the guide wire is a steel wire, and the hollow tube is made of a flexible material.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes a hand-tightening component, a shaft, and a connecting part. The shaft is rotatably connected to the first housing, and both ends of the shaft extend out of the first housing. The hand-tightening component and the connecting part are respectively installed at both ends of the shaft, and the connecting part is connected to the other end of the transmission component.

[0019] Furthermore, the first housing has a first surface formed on the side facing the hand-tightening component. The first surface has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other. The first side has an "open" mark to correspond to the unobstructed state of the drainage channel, and the second side has a "closed" mark to correspond to the blocked state of the drainage channel.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the boat drain plug of this utility model, by setting an adjustment knob and a transmission component, connects one end of the transmission component to the piston and the other end of the transmission component to the adjustment knob. The transmission component causes the adjustment knob to drive the piston to reciprocate, thereby blocking or clearing the drainage channel. The adjustment knob is installed on the boat control panel, so that the boat driver can remotely control the blocking or clearing of the drainage channel through the adjustment knob on the boat control panel. The driver does not need to leave the boat control panel and walk to the boat's drain outlet to open or close the drain outlet. This makes it convenient for users to operate, effectively improves practicality and convenience, and provides a better driving experience.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 8This embodiment provides a boat drain plug, including: a seat 100, a piston 200, an adjusting knob 300, and a transmission component 400. The seat 100 is installed at the boat's drain outlet and has a drain channel to connect the boat's interior and exterior. The piston 200 is slidably connected to the seat 100 so that the drain channel can be blocked or cleared by sliding the piston 200. The adjusting knob 300 is installed on the boat's control panel. One end of the transmission component 400 is connected to the piston 200, and the other end of the transmission component 400 is connected to the adjusting knob 300 so that the adjusting knob 300 drives the piston 200 to reciprocate, thereby blocking or clearing the drain channel.

[0038] As can be seen, the boat drain plug in this embodiment, by setting an adjustment knob 300 and a transmission component 400, connects one end of the transmission component 400 to the piston 200 and the other end of the transmission component 400 to the adjustment knob 300. The transmission component 400 drives the adjustment knob 300 to reciprocate, thereby blocking or clearing the drain channel. The adjustment knob 300 is installed on the boat control panel, allowing the boat driver to remotely control the blocking or clearing of the drain channel through the adjustment knob 300 on the boat control panel. The driver does not need to leave the boat control panel and walk to the boat's drain outlet to open or close the drain outlet, which is convenient for users, effectively improves practicality and convenience, and provides a better driving experience.

[0039] Preferably, the adjustment knob 300 is installed on the boat's control panel. However, users can also install it in other locations on the boat according to their actual needs, as long as the user can easily operate the piston 200. The specific installation position of the adjustment knob 300 should not be considered a limitation of this utility model.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the seat 100 is hollow to form a drainage cavity. One end of the seat 100 is provided with a first drainage port 112 that communicates with the drainage cavity, and the side surface of the seat 100 is provided with a second drainage port 113 that communicates with the drainage cavity, so that a drainage channel is formed by connecting the first drainage port 112, the drainage cavity and the second drainage port 113.

[0041] Preferably, a mounting plate is provided at one end of the seat 100. The mounting plate and the seat 100 are integrally formed. The mounting plate is provided with fixing holes, which are through-holes, so that screws can be passed through the fixing holes and screwed into the hull, so that the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the hull and the seat 100 is installed in the hull's drain outlet. A sealing gasket is also provided between the mounting plate and the hull. Multiple second drain outlets 113 are provided, and multiple second drain outlets 113 are circumferentially spaced on the side surface of the seat 100. In addition, in other embodiments, multiple first drain outlets 112 can also be provided. The shape and number of first drain outlets 112 and second drain outlets 113 can be changed to a certain extent without affecting the use. Such simple substitutions should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0042] Furthermore, the seat 100 includes a first housing 120 and a second housing 130 that engage with each other. A drainage channel is formed on the first housing 120. A clearance hole 121 is provided at the other end of the first housing 120. One end of the transmission member 400 passes through the clearance hole 121 into the drainage chamber and is connected to the piston 200.

[0043] The first housing 120 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the second housing 130 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole. The second mounting hole is provided through so that when the first housing 120 and the second housing 130 are engaged with each other, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are aligned. By screwing screws into the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole, the first housing and the second housing are fixedly installed together, so that the second housing at least partially blocks the clearance hole 121.

[0044] Furthermore, the adjusting knob 300 drives the piston 200 to close or open the first drain port 112 via the transmission component 400, so as to block or clear the drain channel. The outer peripheral surface of the piston 200 is fitted with an annular sealing ring, which can maintain the sealing between the side wall of the hull drain port and the outer peripheral surface of the piston 200.

[0045] Furthermore, a first limiting structure 210 is provided on the piston 200 to install one end of the transmission member 400 on the piston 200 through the first limiting structure 210. The piston 200 includes a first plug body 220 and a second plug body 230 that engage with each other. The first limiting structure 210 is a limiting groove formed between the first plug body 220 and the second plug body 230.

[0046] Specifically, the first plug 220 is provided with a positioning seat, and the second plug 230 is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning seat. The positioning seat and the positioning groove are engaged. The positioning seat has a third mounting hole, and the positioning groove has a through-hole fourth mounting hole. By screwing screws into the fourth mounting hole and the third mounting hole, the first plug 220 and the second plug 230 are fixed together. The first plug 220 has a first bending groove on the side facing the second plug 230, and the second plug 230 has a second bending groove on the side facing the first plug 220, corresponding to the first bending groove. By closing the first bending groove and the second bending groove, a limiting groove is formed. The bending and extending limiting groove ensures that when one end of the transmission member 400 is installed in the limiting groove and the transmission member 400 is pulled, one end of the transmission member 400 will not detach from the limiting groove.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the adjustment knob 300 includes a first housing 310 and a rotating structure 320 that can rotate relative to each other. The first housing 310 is fixedly installed near the control panel of the boat. The transmission component 400 includes a hollow tube 410 and a guide wire 420. The guide wire 420 is slidably installed inside the hollow tube 410, and the two ends of the guide wire 420 respectively pass through the two ends of the hollow tube 410.

[0048] The first outer shell 310 is fixedly connected to the hollow tube 410. The guide wire 420 includes a first end 421 and a second end 422. The first end 421 is mounted on the rotating structure 320, and the second end 422 is mounted on the piston 200. When the rotating structure 320 is rotated, the first end 421 can be stretched away from the hollow tube 410 or retracted towards the hollow tube 410, thereby driving the piston 200 to block or clear the drainage channel.

[0049] Specifically, the first outer shell 310 and one end of the hollow tube 410 can be fixedly connected by adhesive, snap-fit ​​or other means to fix the first outer shell 310 and one end of the hollow tube 410. By fixing the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 together, the other end of the hollow tube 410 is installed between the first shell 120 and the second shell 130. When the rotating structure 320 is rotated, the rotating structure 320 drives the first end 421 to stretch or retract along the extension direction of the hollow tube 410, thereby driving the piston 200 to block or clear the drainage channel.

[0050] In other embodiments, the base 100 can be fixedly connected to the other end of the hollow tube 410 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods.

[0051] In addition, the length of the hollow tube 410 is 50cm-1000cm, preferably 100cm, 200cm, 300cm, 500cm and 1000cm, and the length of the guide wire 420 is 5cm-20cm longer than the length of the hollow tube 410, preferably 105cm, 120cm, 205cm, 220cm, 305cm, 320cm, 505cm, 520cm, 1005cm and 1020cm.

[0052] Furthermore, the guide wire 420 is made of steel wire, and the hollow tube 410 is made of a flexible material. Preferably, the hollow tube 410 is made of plastic. The guide wire 420 has a relatively high hardness. The piston 200 is slidably inserted into the drainage cavity of the seat 100 so that when the guide wire 420 pushes or pulls the piston 200 to block the drainage cavity of the seat 100 or detaches from the drainage cavity of the seat 100, the hardness of the guide wire 420 is sufficient to support the transmission force of the push-pull piston 200. The guide wire 420 can be made of a relatively thick metal wire to prevent the guide wire 420 from being too soft to push the piston 200 out of the drainage cavity of the seat 100. Of course, the guide wire 420 can also be made of other hard metal materials, as long as it can realize the function of opening and closing the push-pull piston 200.

[0053] Furthermore, the rotating structure 320 includes a hand-tightening component 321, a shaft 322, and a connecting part 323. The shaft 322 is rotatably connected to the first housing 310 and is disposed through the first housing 310. The hand-tightening component 321 and the connecting part 323 are respectively installed at both ends of the shaft 322, and the connecting part 323 is connected to the other end of the transmission component 400.

[0054] Furthermore, the first housing 310 has a first surface 311 on the side facing the hand-tightening member 321. The first surface 311 has a first side and a second side that are disposed opposite to each other. The first side has an "open" mark to correspond to the unobstructed state of the drainage channel, and the second side has a "closed" mark to correspond to the blocked state of the drainage channel.

[0055] Specifically, when the rotating structure 320 rotates to the "open" side, the guide wire 420 pulls the piston 200 to open the first drain port 112, clearing the drainage channel; when the rotating structure 320 rotates to the "closed" side, the guide wire 420 pushes the piston 200 to close the first drain port 112, blocking the drainage channel. This design lowers the operating threshold, allowing users to quickly switch states without relying on experience or additional devices, simply by following the markings. It transforms abstract mechanical movements into intuitive visual signals, simplifying the operation process and improving the system's safety and ease of use.

[0056] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0057] By setting an adjustment knob 300 and a transmission component 400, one end of the transmission component 400 is connected to the piston 200, and the other end of the transmission component 400 is connected to the adjustment knob 300. The transmission component 400 drives the adjustment knob 300 to reciprocate, thereby blocking or clearing the drainage channel. The adjustment knob 300 is installed on the boat's control panel, allowing the boat's driver to remotely control the blockage or clearing of the drainage channel through the adjustment knob 300 on the control panel. The driver does not need to leave the control panel and walk to the boat's drain outlet to open or close the drain outlet, which is convenient for users, effectively improves practicality and convenience, and provides a better driving experience.
