Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater thruster control technology, specifically an underwater thruster controller. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the improvement of living standards, diving is becoming increasingly popular. Underwater activities relying solely on one's own strength and fins for propulsion are not only slow and energy-consuming, but also limit the range of movement. Therefore, underwater propulsion devices are gaining popularity among diving enthusiasts. Underwater propulsion devices provide ample power in deep water, suitable for various underwater activities such as snorkeling, freediving, and scuba diving, fully meeting the diverse diving needs of enthusiasts.

[0003] A search revealed prior art publication number CN219743828U, which discloses an underwater thruster. This underwater thruster includes a power supply system, a propulsion system, and a water circulation system. The propulsion system is connected to the power supply system, and the water circulation system is connected to the propulsion system. The propulsion system is characterized by comprising a shell of a first receiving space, a rotor housed within the first receiving space, and multiple coil assemblies surrounding the rotor and arranged along the shell. The underwater thruster provided by this invention designs its shell as the shell of a motor, placing the rotor within the first receiving space formed by the shell. Coils and other components are arranged inside the shell to facilitate the normal operation of the rotor, thus saving a shell layer and achieving the beneficial effects of saving materials and reducing the size of the underwater thruster.

[0004] In existing technologies, the control of underwater thrusters typically relies on operators applying force to adjust the thruster's attitude. However, in the underwater environment, due to water pressure, operators need to expend a significant amount of force to effectively adjust the thruster's attitude. For example, in deep water, the water pressure increases significantly, creating enormous physical resistance when operators attempt to change the thruster's direction or maintain its stability. This high demand on human effort not only increases operator fatigue but also increases the risk of operational errors over extended periods.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned search and combined with existing technologies, an underwater thruster controller is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] In one typical implementation of this application, please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, an underwater thruster controller includes: a fairing 1, a thrusting component 2 disposed on the rear side wall of the fairing 1 via an adjustment mechanism, handles 3 fixedly installed on both the left and right side walls of the fairing 1, and control plates 4 fixedly installed in each of the two handles 3; the adjustment mechanism includes a vertical adjustment component and a horizontal adjustment component, the vertical adjustment component including:

[0024] The connecting block 5 has an installation groove 11 on its rear side wall. Two fixing plates 6 are fixedly installed inside the installation groove 11. A rotating ring 8 is rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 6 through two rotating columns 7. A fixing column 9 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the rotating ring 8. A connecting column 10 is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the fixing column 9.

[0025] The up-down adjustment assembly also includes: two rotating columns 12, which are rotatably connected to the side walls of two fixed plates 6 respectively. The side walls of the two rotating columns 12 are connected to the side walls of the two rotating columns 7 respectively. The side walls of the two rotating columns 12 extend through the connecting block 5 to the outside of the connecting block 5. A coupling 13 is fixedly installed at the extended end of the two rotating columns 12. A coupling 24 is rotatably connected to the two control plates 4. A synchronous belt 15 is provided between the two couplings 13 and the coupling 24. A knob 16 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the two couplings 24.

[0026] Based on the above features, the orientation of the flow guide 1 can be adjusted up and down. Specifically, when the equipment needs to be lowered, the operator rotates one of the knobs 16 clockwise, causing the coupling 14 to drive the coupling 13 to rotate via the synchronous belt 15. When the coupling 13 rotates, the rotating column 12 will drive the rotating column 7 to rotate, causing the rotating ring 8 to deflect downward. Conversely, when the equipment needs to be raised, the operator can rotate one of the knobs 16 counterclockwise to make the rotating ring 8 deflect upward.

[0027] The left-right adjustment assembly includes: a concave block 17, which is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the propulsion component 2; a gear 18 is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the connecting column 10; the rear side wall of the gear 18 is connected to the front side wall of the concave block 17; and a groove 19 is formed on the bottom surface of the concave block 17. The left-right adjustment assembly also includes: a limiting rod 20, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove 19; a slider 21 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the limiting rod 20; the slider 21 slides in the groove 19; a toothed belt 22 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slider 21; and a pulling component.

[0028] The pulling component includes: a slide rail 24, two slide rails 24 are provided, and a push block 25 is slidably installed in each of the two slide rails 24. A rope 23 is provided between the rear side wall of each push block 25 and the side side walls of the toothed belt 22.

[0029] Based on the above features, the orientation of the fairing 1 can be adjusted to the left and right. Specifically, when it is necessary to deflect to the left, the operator pushes the right-side push block 25, causing the push block 25 to move forward in the slide rail 24. At the same time, the push block 25 will pull the rope 23 to move the toothed belt 22 to the right, so that the gear 18 will rotate, thus turning the equipment to the left. Conversely, if it is necessary to turn the equipment to the right, the right-side push block 25 can be pushed.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In use, the operator can flexibly adjust the attitude of the underwater thruster through the underwater thruster controller. When it is necessary to adjust the vertical attitude of the thruster, the operator rotates the corresponding knob 16 clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation of knob 16 will drive coupling 14 to rotate, and through the transmission of synchronous belt 15, coupling 13 will rotate accordingly. The rotation of coupling 13 will further drive the rotating column 7 to rotate through rotating column 12, ultimately realizing the vertical deflection of rotating ring 8, thereby adjusting the vertical attitude of the guide fairing 1. This vertical adjustment mechanism allows the thruster to adapt to the operating requirements of different depths and angles. The horizontal attitude adjustment is equally convenient. The operator only needs to push the corresponding push block 25, which slides in the slide rail 24. Through the pull of rope 23, it drives toothed belt 22 to move along the length direction of limit rod 20. The movement of toothed belt 22 causes the meshing gear 18 to rotate. The rotation of gear 18 will further realize the horizontal deflection of propulsion component 2 through the transmission of connecting column 10 and rotating ring 8, thereby completing the horizontal attitude adjustment of the thruster. This flexible left-right adjustment function ensures that the thruster can quickly respond to operating commands and accurately control the propulsion direction in complex underwater environments, meeting the requirements of diverse underwater operations.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
