[0028] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 This application provides a clamp lifting and resetting mechanism 100. The clamp lifting and resetting mechanism includes a clamp 10, a fixed base 20, a support rod 30, and a torsion spring 40.
[0029] The clamp 10 is used to fix it to the water carrier 2000, and the clamp 10 is provided with a track groove 11 that extends horizontally.
[0030] The fixed base 20 is used to connect the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000. The fixed base 20 rotates to connect the clamp 10, so as to drive the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 to lift up.
[0031] The support rod 30 has a first end 31 that is rotatably connected to the clamp 10. The rotation direction of the support rod 30 is parallel to the rotation direction of the fixed seat 20. The second end 32 of the support rod 30 is provided with a pin 33 that slides with the track groove 11.
[0032] Torsion spring 40 is installed at the rotation center of support rod 30. Torsion spring 40 is used to generate torque so that the second end 32 of support rod 30 fits into track groove 11.
[0033] The track groove 11 is provided with an initial groove 111 and a lifting groove 112. The second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides between the initial groove 111 and the lifting groove 112 in the track groove 11, thereby realizing the switching of the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 between the initial state and the lifting state.
[0034] For example, clamp 10 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy material to ensure long-term stable use in harsh aquatic environments. Its compact structure is achieved through precision casting and machining, and its surface is treated with rust prevention to enhance durability. Clamp 10 can be securely fixed to the aquatic carrier 2000 (such as a boat hull) by clamping, ensuring its stability during use. The track groove 11 of clamp 10 is elongated and extends laterally in a generally horizontal direction. Its inner surface is precision-machined to ensure smoothness, thereby reducing friction with the pin 33 of the support rod 30. It is understood that "extending laterally in a generally horizontal direction" means that when clamp 10 is fixed to the boat hull, the end of track groove 11 closest to the boat hull and the end furthest from the boat hull are approximately parallel to the horizontal plane of the boat hull. "Approximately parallel" refers to a visually approximate parallel state rather than strict absolute parallelism or strict angular parallelism. The initial groove 111 and the lifting groove 112 of the track groove 11 are located at both ends of the track groove 11. The initial groove 111 is far away from the connection between the clamp 10 and the fixed seat 20 and is used to fix the second end 32 of the support rod 30 when the water propeller 1000 is in the initial state. The lifting groove 112 is close to the connection between the clamp 10 and the fixed seat 20 and is used to fix the second end 32 of the support rod 30 when the water propeller 1000 is in the lifting state.
[0035] For example, the shape of the mounting base 20 is adapted to the body 200 of the water propeller 1000, and it can be connected to the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 by bolts or a locking mechanism to ensure stable movement of the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 during lifting and resetting. The outer surface of the mounting base 20 may also be provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between it and the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 and prevent slippage during lifting and resetting.
[0036] For example, the clamp 10 is also provided with a second rotating shaft 13. The first end of the second rotating shaft 13 is connected to the clamp 10, and the second end of the second rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the torsion spring 40. A support rod 30 is provided between the first end of the second rotating shaft 13 and the second end of the second rotating shaft 13.
[0037] For example, the first end 31 of the support rod 30 is rotatably connected to the clamp 10 via the second rotating shaft 13. The first end 31 of the support rod 30 has a second mounting hole 311, which is installed between the first end and the second end of the second rotating shaft 13. The second end 32 of the support rod 30 has a pin 33 that slides into the track groove 11. This sliding engagement of the pin 33 with the track groove 11 ensures that the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is fixed in the lifting groove 112 when the water propeller 1000 is in the lifting state. The length and diameter of the support rod 30 are customized according to the weight and size of the water propeller 1000 to ensure sufficient support force and stability during lifting and resetting.
[0038] For example, a torsion spring 40, installed at the rotation center of the support rod 30, generates torque to ensure that the second end 32 of the support rod 30 conforms to the track groove 11. The continuous torque of the torsion spring 40 not only ensures a tight fit between the support rod 30 and the track groove 11, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the water propeller 1000 during tilting and resetting. The torque of the torsion spring 40 can be adjusted according to the weight of the water propeller 1000 and the tilting requirements to ensure that the second end 32 of the support rod 30 can fit tightly to the track groove 11 and slide smoothly between the initial groove 111 and the tilting groove 112. The torsion spring 40 can be made of high-strength spring steel, which has good elasticity and durability, and can stably provide the required torque over a long period.
[0039] The rotation center of the support rod 30 coincides with the axis of the second rotating shaft 13.
[0040] In some embodiments, when the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 switches from the initial state to the tilted state, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 to the tilted groove 112 and is locked in place by the torque of the torsion spring 40; or
[0041] When the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 is reset from the tilted state to the initial state, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is disengaged from the tilted groove 112 by moving the support rod 30 and sliding along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111, so that the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 is reset to the initial state under the action of gravity.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the track groove 11 also includes an intermediate boss 113 located between the initial groove 111 and the lifting groove 112; the horizontal position of the initial groove 111 is lower than the horizontal position of the intermediate boss 113.
[0043] When the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 is reset from the tilted state to the initial state, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is disengaged from the tilted groove 112 and offset to the intermediate boss 113 by moving the support rod 30, and the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111.
[0044] In some embodiments, the pin 33 on the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is in the form of a pin.
[0045] The track groove 11 includes not only the initial groove 111 and the lifting groove 112, but also an intermediate boss 113 located between the two. The horizontal position of the initial groove 111 is lower than the horizontal position of the intermediate boss 113. This design helps the support rod 30 to be positioned and transitioned during the sliding process.
[0046] The pin 33 on the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is designed as a pin. This structure allows the support rod to slide more stably in the track groove 11 and makes it easier to lock and fix it in place with the groove.
[0047] The torsion spring 40 is installed at the rotation center of the support rod 30 and continuously applies clockwise torque to ensure that the support rod 30 can naturally fit the track groove 11 when no external force is applied, and to provide sufficient torque to complete the state switching when needed.
[0048] For example, from Figure 1 The initial state shown has been switched to Figure 2 During the lifting process shown in the lifting state, the user lifts the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 upwards, causing the fixed base 20 to rotate around the pivot on the clamp 10. As the fixed base 20 rotates, the second end 32 (pin-shaped insert 33) of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 towards the lifting groove 112 under the torque of the torsion spring 40. The torsion spring 40 is installed at the rotation center of the support rod 30, with one end fixedly connected to the clamp 10 and the other end fixedly connected to the support rod 30. The torsion spring 40 generates a clockwise torque during the rotation of the support rod 30, causing the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the track groove 11, ensuring smoothness and stability of the sliding process.
[0049] When the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides into the tilting groove 112, the torque of the torsion spring 40 causes the pin 33 of the second end 32 to engage in the tilting groove 112, thereby fixing the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 in the tilted state. At this time, the water propeller 1000 is in a higher position, suitable for use in shallow water areas or when it is necessary to avoid touching the bottom.
[0050] For example, from the upturned state ( Figure 2 , Figure 4, Figure 6 , Figure 7 or Figure 8 Reset to initial state ( Figure 1 or Figure 3 The reset process ( Figure 5 In this configuration, the user can manually pull the first end 31 (or extension 34, or auxiliary handle 35, or offset assembly 36) of the support rod 30 to overcome the torque of the torsion spring 40, causing the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to disengage from the lifting groove 112. After disengaging from the lifting groove 112, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 first offsets to the intermediate boss 113. The design of the intermediate boss 113 provides a brief pause point for the second end 32 of the support rod 30 during sliding, facilitating user control of the reset process. During the pulling of the support rod 30, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 towards the initial groove 111. The torque of the torsion spring 40 continues to act, causing the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the track groove 11, ensuring smooth sliding. When the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides into the initial groove 111, the pin 33 of the second end 32 engages in the initial groove 111, and the fuselage 200 of the water propulsion unit 1000 naturally falls down under the influence of gravity, resetting to its initial state. At this time, the water propulsion unit 1000 is in a lower position, suitable for use in deep water or during normal navigation.
[0051] Through the above design, this embodiment successfully optimizes the two actions that originally needed to be completed simultaneously (pulling out the locking pin and adjusting the angle) into only one action (pulling the support rod 30), thereby greatly simplifying the operation process and improving the convenience and safety of operation. At the same time, the design of the intermediate boss 113 further ensures the stability and reliability of the reset process.
[0052] In some embodiments, the track groove 11 is provided with a locking hole at the raised groove 112;
[0053] When the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 to the lifting groove 112, the pin 33 is inserted into the locking hole to fix the second end 32 of the support rod 30; or
[0054] When the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 returns to its initial state from the tilted state, the pin 33 is pulled out of the locking hole to release the second end 32 of the support rod 30.
[0055] For example, to further enhance the stability of the water propeller 1000 in both the tilted and initial states, a locking hole is provided at the tilted groove 112 of the track groove 11. For instance, the locking hole can be located at the bottom or side wall of the tilted groove 112, and its shape and size match the pin 33, ensuring that the pin 33 can be tightly inserted and fixed within the locking hole. The function of the locking hole is to further fix the second end 32 of the support rod 30 by inserting the pin 33 when the water propeller 1000 is in the tilted state, preventing the second end 32 of the support rod 30 from accidentally slipping out of the tilted groove 112 due to external force or vibration, thereby ensuring the stability of the water propeller 1000 in the tilted state.
[0056] When the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 switches from the initial state to the tilted state, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides along the track groove 11 to the tilted groove 112 under the torque of the torsion spring 40. The user inserts the pin 33 into the locking hole in the tilted groove 112. The insertion of the pin 33 can be done manually or automatically, for example, by using a magnetic device to assist the pin 33 in inserting into the locking hole. After the pin 33 is inserted into the locking hole, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is firmly fixed, and the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 remains stable in the tilted state and cannot be pressed down.
[0057] When it is necessary to reset the water propeller 1000 from the raised state to the initial state, the user first pulls the pin 33 out of the locking hole. Pulling out the pin 33 can be done manually or designed with an automatic release mechanism, such as a spring device to assist in pulling out the pin 33. After the pin 33 is pulled out, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is no longer restricted by the locking hole, and the user can move the support rod 30 to slide its second end 32 along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111. When the second end 32 of the support rod 30 slides into the initial groove 111, the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 naturally falls under the action of gravity, resetting to the initial state.
[0058] The diameter of the locking hole is slightly larger than the diameter of the pin 33 to ensure that the pin 33 can be smoothly inserted and removed. The depth of the locking hole should be sufficient to accommodate the length of the pin 33 to ensure that the second end 32 of the support rod 30 will not loosen due to external force when fixed. In some embodiments, a magnetic attraction assembly is also included, comprising:
[0059] The first magnet is fixed to the second end 32 of the support rod 30;
[0060] The second magnet is fixed at the initial groove 111;
[0061] When the body 200 of the water propulsion device 1000 returns to the initial state from the tilted state, after the second end 32 of the support rod 30 disengages from the tilted groove 112, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet drives the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to slide towards the initial groove 111.
[0062] For example, to further enhance the automation and ease of operation of the water propeller reset process, the clamp lifting and reset mechanism 100 also includes a magnetic attraction component. This magnetic attraction component includes a first magnet and a second magnet, which are respectively fixed to the second end 32 of the support rod 30 and the initial groove 111, cleverly utilizing the properties of magnetism to assist in the reset of the support rod. A stable magnetic attraction force can be generated between these two magnets, providing an additional power source for the reset of the support rod 30.
[0063] When the body 200 of the water propeller 1000 begins to reset from the tilted state, the user only needs to perform a simple operation to disengage the second end 32 of the support rod 30 from the tilted groove 112. Once disengaged, the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnets immediately takes effect, automatically attracting the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to slide back into the initial groove 111. This magnetic drive method not only reduces the user's operational burden but also improves the accuracy and stability of the reset process.
[0064] The introduction of the magnetic attachment component makes the reset operation of the water propeller much easier and more convenient. Users no longer need to manually push the support rod 30; a gentle assistance is all it takes. The magnetic force will automatically guide the support rod 30 back to its initial position. This is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent lifting and resetting operations, significantly improving the user experience and work efficiency.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, an extension 34 is provided at the first end 31 of the support rod 30. By moving the extension 34, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is disengaged from the lifting groove 112.
[0066] For example, to facilitate easier manipulation of the support rod 30 by the user, allowing its second end 32 to disengage smoothly from the lifting groove 112, the first end 31 of the support rod 30 is provided with an extension 34. This extension 34 provides the user with a larger operating space, making it easier and less strenuous for the user to manipulate the support rod 30. By simply manipulating the extension 34, the user can easily disengage the second end 32 of the support rod 30 from the lifting groove 112, thus initiating the reset process, improving the user-friendliness and convenience of operating the water propeller.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, an auxiliary handle 35 is provided at the first end 31 of the support rod 30. By moving the auxiliary handle 35, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is disengaged from the lifting groove 112 and slides along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111.
[0068] For example, to further enhance the convenience and comfort of user operation, an auxiliary handle 35 can be added to the first end 31 of the support rod 30. This auxiliary handle 35 provides the user with a more intuitive and easy-to-grip operating point, allowing the user to apply force more easily when the support rod 30 needs to be moved. By simply moving the auxiliary handle 35, the user can smoothly move the second end 32 of the support rod 30 out of the lifting groove 112 and slide it along the track groove 11 back to the initial groove 111, thus completing the reset process and improving the convenience of operation and user experience.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the clamp 10 is also provided with a first rotating shaft 12, and the fixed base 20 is provided with a rotating shaft rod 21. The rotating shaft rod 21 is rotatably connected to the clamp 10 through the first rotating shaft 12.
[0070] A wrench groove 212 is provided on the rotating shaft 21. When the auxiliary handle 35 is moved away from the clamp 10 along the wrench groove 212, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is disengaged from the lifting groove 112.
[0071] The clamp 10 is equipped with a first rotating shaft 12, while the fixed base 20 is equipped with a rotating shaft rod 21. The two are rotatably connected through the first rotating shaft 12, which enhances the stability of the structure and improves the flexibility of rotation.
[0072] The rotating shaft 21 also features a wrench groove 212. When the user needs to operate the auxiliary handle 35, they can move it away from the clamp 10 along the wrench groove 212. This action directly disengages the second end 32 of the support rod 30 from the lifting groove 112, thus initiating the reset process. The design of the wrench groove 212 provides the user with a clear operating path, making the entire reset process smoother and more controllable, and improving the convenience of operation.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, an offset component 36 is provided at the first end 31 of the support rod 30. By moving the offset component 36, the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is offset to the outside of the lifting groove 112 and slides along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111.
[0074] In order to further improve the convenience of user operation and the efficiency of the reset process, the first end 31 of the support rod 30 is provided with an offset component 36, which allows the user to easily move the second end 32 of the support rod 30 to the outside of the lifting groove 112 by a simple lever action, and smoothly slide it along the track groove 11 to the initial groove 111. This simplifies the reset operation and ensures the stability and accuracy of the support rod during the reset process, thereby providing the user with a smoother and more effortless user experience.
[0075] In some embodiments, a cam is provided at the first end 31 of the support rod 30, and the position of the second end 32 of the support rod 30 is changed by rotating the cam, so that the second end 32 of the support rod 30 disengages from the lifting groove 112.
[0076] For example, to further optimize the reset process and improve the convenience and flexibility of operation, a cam is provided at the first end 31 of the support rod 30, allowing the user to directly change the position of the second end 32 of the support rod 30 through a simple rotation operation. When reset is required, the user only needs to gently rotate the cam to smoothly disengage the second end 32 of the support rod 30 from the lifting groove 112, thereby initiating the reset process. This simplifies the operation steps and improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
[0077] In some embodiments, to improve the durability and wear resistance of the track groove 11, the surface of the track groove 11 is covered with a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating can effectively resist wear caused by friction during long-term use, extend the service life of the track groove, and ensure the smoothness of the support rod 30 during sliding.
[0078] In some embodiments, to optimize the contact between the support rod 30 and the track groove 11, reduce friction, and improve the smoothness of sliding, the contact surface between the second end 32 of the support rod 30 and the track groove 11 is arc-shaped. This arc-shaped design can better conform to the shape of the track groove, making the support rod more stable and smoother during sliding.
[0079] In some embodiments, to further reduce friction and improve the sliding efficiency of the support rod 30 in the track groove 11, a roller is provided at the second end 32 of the support rod 30, and the roller rolls into contact with the track groove 11. The rolling contact between the roller and the track groove 11 significantly reduces the resistance during the sliding process, making the movement of the support rod easier and faster.
[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, the clamp 10 consists of two lug-type parts 14 and two screw handles 15. The lug-type parts 14 are symmetrically arranged to ensure the stability and balance of the clamp 10 during the clamping process. The screw handles 15 are used to adjust the clamping tightness between the clamp 10 and the water carrier 2000, so that the user can easily adjust the clamping force according to the actual situation.
[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 , Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the first rotating shaft 21 is provided with a first mounting hole 211. The rotating shaft is installed on the first rotating shaft 12 through the first mounting hole 211 to form a rotating pair, which improves the overall stability of the structure and ensures the smoothness of the rotation process.
