Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine engine bracket body, and in particular to a novel multifunctional electrical bracket for marine engines. Background Technology
[0002] In modern marine main engine systems, electrical components are key parts that ensure the stable operation of the main engine electrical system. As the basic structure that supports and fixes electrical equipment and cables, the performance of electrical brackets directly affects the reliability and safety of the ship's electrical system. At present, marine electrical brackets generally adopt a design similar to channel steel structures. Through holes are opened at the top and bottom of the channel steel, and bolts and nuts are used to connect to junction boxes, and bolt washers are used to fix them to the body or bracket, thereby achieving the functions of cable protection and wire connection. Although this type of bracket can meet the basic installation requirements, its function is relatively simple and it is difficult to adapt to the complex operating environment of ships.
[0003] Meanwhile, most existing marine engine mounts are fixed structures, primarily responsible for supporting and securing the engine. However, during ship navigation, equipment needs to be repositioned according to operating conditions or frequently moved for maintenance, making traditional fixed mounts inadequate for flexible adjustment. Furthermore, with the increasing electrification of ships, electrical wiring is becoming more complex, and traditional mounts lack effective cable management and securing structures, resulting in messy wiring layouts. This not only increases the difficulty of installation and maintenance but may also lead to safety hazards such as short circuits caused by cable swaying and wear. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of mount that combines flexible adjustment, efficient cable management, and stable support to address the shortcomings of traditional mounts in maintenance, adjustment, and electrical system integration.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of multifunctional electrical bracket for marine engines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The novel multifunctional electrical bracket for marine engines provided by this utility model includes: a base, a bracket body mounted on top of the base, a bracket mounted on one side of the bracket body, an engine body mounted inside the bracket, and a cable box for protecting cables mounted on the other side of the bracket body; the bracket body has eight through holes, through which the bracket body is fixed to the bracket, engine body, and cable box; a fixing component is installed inside the cable box for fixing the position of the cables; a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket body, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the base; an adjustment component is installed inside the base for adjusting the direction of the bracket body.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing components include: a slide rail, a slider, a clamp, a connecting rod, a bidirectional threaded rod, and a sliding sleeve; a slide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the middle part of the cable box, sliders are symmetrically slidably connected to the bottom of the slide rail, clamps are fixedly connected to the bottom of each slider, connecting rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the slider, a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected through the inside of the cable box, and sliding sleeves are symmetrically threaded to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod, and the two connecting rods located on one side of the slide rail are rotatably connected to the two ends of the sliding sleeve respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a worm gear and a worm; the worm gear is rotatably connected inside the base, the top of the worm gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod, and the worm is rotatably connected inside the base, with the worm meshing with the worm gear.
[0009] Preferably, the bracket body is welded together from a top plate, a bottom plate, two intermediate stiffeners, and a fixing plate. Both the top plate and the bottom plate have four through holes. The top plate is fixed to the cable box at the through holes using bolts and nuts. The four through holes in the bottom plate are fixed to the threaded holes of the bracket and the engine body using bolts, flat washers, and spring washers. The intermediate stiffeners are located between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the fixing plate is located between the two intermediate stiffeners. The bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod.
[0010] Preferably, both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod are fixedly connected to knobs, and the outer wall of the knobs is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0011] Preferably, the slide rail is designed in a U-shape, and the slider is fitted on the outside of the bottom edge of the slide rail, and the slider slides along the bottom edge of the slide rail.
[0012] Preferably, a motor is installed inside the base, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear, and the other end of the worm gear extends out of the base and is fixedly connected to a rotating ring.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate is fixed to the hull by bolts, flat washers, and spring washers, and a cover plate is snapped onto the top of the bracket.
[0014] Compared with related technologies, the novel multifunctional electrical bracket for marine engines provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] Improve cable stability:
[0016] This utility model achieves rapid and precise cable fixing through a fixing assembly consisting of a slide rail, a slider, a clamp, and a bidirectional threaded rod. Simply rotating the knobs at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod drives the clamp to adaptively adjust the spacing, tightly fitting cables of different diameters. This prevents cable displacement, wear, or loosening due to swaying during ship navigation. Compared to the shortcomings of traditional brackets that lack a dedicated cable fixing structure, this significantly improves the stability and safety of the electrical system and reduces the risk of equipment downtime caused by cable failures.
[0017] Reduce maintenance difficulty:
[0018] Existing marine engine brackets are mostly fixed, making adjustment difficult and maintenance inconvenient. This invention, however, uses a worm gear adjustment assembly that supports both electric and manual adjustment modes. In electric mode, the motor drives the worm gear to rotate the worm wheel, allowing the bracket body to rotate freely 360°. In manual mode, the worm gear is operated via a rotating ring, enabling emergency adjustment even in the event of motor failure. Whether optimizing pipeline connections between the engine and other equipment or adjusting the bracket angle for easier operation during maintenance, these adjustments can be easily achieved, greatly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs, and overcoming the drawbacks of traditional brackets that cannot be flexibly adjusted.
[0019] Simplify system layout:
[0020] Traditional brackets have limited functionality and struggle to integrate engine support with electrical system integration. This invention integrates engine support, cable protection, and wiring management into one unit. The bracket body provides stable support through a welded frame structure, with the top plate connected to the cable box and the bottom plate fixed to the bracket and engine body, reducing the number of independent components. Meanwhile, the fixing components inside the cable box standardize cable arrangement and avoid messy wiring. Compared to the traditional bracket's distributed electrical component installation method, this effectively saves ship space, simplifies system layout, and improves overall integration and aesthetics.

[0030] It should be noted that the cover plate 27 allows the staff to maintain the engine without removing the bracket 3, thus facilitating the maintenance work.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The fixing components include: a slide rail 8, a slider 9, a clamping plate 10, a connecting rod 11, a double-threaded rod 12, and a sliding sleeve 13; the top of the middle part of the cable box 5 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 8, the bottom of the slide rail 8 is symmetrically slidably connected to the slider 9, the bottom of each slider 9 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 10, and both ends of the slider 9 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 11; the inside of the cable box 5 is rotatably connected to the double-threaded rod 12, and the outer wall of the double-threaded rod 12 is symmetrically threaded to the sliding sleeve 13; the two connecting rods 11 located on one side of the slide rail 8 are rotatably connected at opposite ends to the two ends of the sliding sleeve 13 respectively; the two double-threaded rods 12 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the sliding sleeve 13 respectively; the two ends of the double-threaded rod 12 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the sliding sleeve 13 respectively.

[0032] It should be noted that: motor 25 is used to adjust the position of bracket body 2 in electric mode; rotating ring 26 is used to adjust the position of bracket body 2 in manual mode.
[0033] The working principle of the novel multifunctional electrical bracket for marine engines provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0034] Fixed cables:
[0035] The cable is passed through the through hole 6 in the middle of the cable box 5 and placed between two clamps 10. The operator rotates the knobs 24 with anti-slip textures at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate axially. The bidirectional threaded rod 12 drives the two sliding sleeves 13 on both sides to move in opposite directions through the threaded pair. The sliding sleeves 13 move away from each other and away from the slide rail 8. During the movement of the sliding sleeves 13, the connecting rods 11 connected at both ends pull the slider 9, so that the slider 9 slides along the bottom of the U-shaped slide rail 8. The slider 9 drives the clamps 10 to move closer to the cable in sync. The spacing between the clamps 10 is automatically adjusted as the sliding sleeves 13 move until they are tightly attached to the outer wall of the cable, so as to achieve a stable fixation of cables of different diameters.
[0036] Adjustable bracket body 2 (electric mode):
[0037] The motor 25 inside the base 1 is started, and the output end of the motor 25 drives the worm gear 15 to rotate. The worm gear 15 meshes with the worm wheel 14, driving the worm wheel 14 to rotate synchronously. The top of the worm wheel 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 7, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 drives the bracket body 2 to rotate around the central axis of the base 1, realizing the angle adjustment between the engine and the cable box 5. After the adjustment is completed, the self-locking characteristics of the worm wheel 14 and worm gear 15 are used to maintain the current position to prevent the angle from shifting due to ship vibration.
[0038] Adjusting bracket body 2 (manual mode): The operator rotates the rotating ring 26, which drives the worm gear 15 to rotate; the worm gear 15 meshes with the worm wheel 14, driving the worm wheel 14 to rotate synchronously; the top of the worm wheel 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 7, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 to rotate; the rotating rod 7 drives the bracket body 2 to rotate around the central axis of the base 1, realizing the angle adjustment between the engine and the cable box 5; the manual adjustment mode serves as a redundant backup for the electric adjustment, ensuring that angle adjustment can still be performed when the motor 25 fails.
[0039] Maintenance process:
[0040] By pulling the cover plate 27 out from above the bracket 3, the engine inside the bracket 3 can be maintained.
