The side control box 13 is located near the side opening end of the flip side groove 18. Connecting wires 14 are evenly inserted into the bottom surface of the side control box 13. A snap-fit ​​inner groove 15 is formed on the inner side of the main support block 1. A transmission channel 16 is obliquely formed on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​inner groove 15. A detection body 17 is fixedly installed at the inner end of the transmission channel 16. The flip side groove 18 is formed on the outer side of the main support block 1. One end of each connecting wire 14 is inserted into the bottom socket of the side control box 13, and the connecting wires 14 and the side control box 13 are electrically connected. The snap-fit ​​inner groove 15 is formed in a ring shape on the inner side of the main support block 1 near the top opening end. The transmission channel 16 and the snap-fit ​​inner groove 15 are connected to each other. The detection body 17 and the side control box 13 are connected to each other. Maintaining electrical connection, the flip side groove 18 is vertically opened at the top outer side of the main support block 1, and the top of the flip side groove 18 is open. The top of the support diagonal rod 6 is provided with a top locking hole 19. The side control box 13 is fixedly welded to the side. The bottom end of the top docking block 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom locking block 21. The top end of the top docking block 7 is vertically opened with a top groove 22. The bottom flip rod 23 is fixedly inserted into the bottom surface of the support plate 8. The flip side groove 20 is connected to the inner side of the flip side groove 18 through the side shaft. The bottom end of the bottom locking block 21 is locked to the inner side of the top locking hole 19. The side of the top groove 22 penetrates the outer side wall of the top docking block 7 and is open. The bottom end of the bottom flip rod 23 is connected to the inner side of the top groove 22 through the shaft.A mating strip 24 is connected to the outer side of the bottom clamping ring 10, and one end of the mating strip 24 is connected to the inner side of the detection body 17.

[0029] By accurately detecting the movement of the mating belt 24 on the detection body 17 and the accurate calculation by the internal calculation module of the side control box 13, the rotation angle of the rudder stick can be displayed in real time and with precision.

[0030] Working principle: The main support block 1 is fitted onto the outside of the rudder stock at a suitable position. The inner block 12 is pressed and moves within the limiting groove 11 opened on the inner side of the rotating top block 4, and is pressed against the outer side of the rudder stock, thereby tightly fixing the rotating top block 4 to the rudder stock. This allows the rotating top block 4 to rotate synchronously with the rotation of the rudder stock. The bottom flipping rod 23, which is fixedly inserted into the bottom surface of the support plate 8, is connected to the inner side of the top groove 22 via a shaft, allowing the support plate 8 to rotate flexibly within a certain angle range. Finally, the digital display panel 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 8, ensuring that the digital display panel 9 and the side control box 13 are electrically connected. At the same time, one end of the connecting wire 14 is inserted into the bottom socket of the side control box 13 to achieve electrical connection, providing power and signal transmission to the equipment. When the ship's rudder stock rotates, the rotating top block 4 will rotate synchronously because it is tightly fixed to the rudder stock. A bottom locking ring 10 at the bottom of the rotating top block 4 is connected to a mating belt 24. One end of the mating belt 24 is connected to the inner side of the detection body 17, which is fixedly installed inside the transmission channel 16 obliquely opened on the inner side of the main support block 1. The transmission channel 16 and the locking inner groove 15 are in communication with each other. As the rotating top block 4 rotates, the bottom locking ring 10 pulls the mating belt 24 to extend out from the inside of the detection body 17. The detection body 17 detects the movement of the mating belt 24 and converts the movement distance and direction of the mating belt 24 into electrical signals. These electrical signals are transmitted to the side control box 13, where the calculation module calculates the angle of the rudder stock rotation based on preset algorithms and parameters. The calculated angle information is then transmitted to the digital display panel 9 via electrical connection for display. The ship's operators can then intuitively see the rotation angle of the rudder stock and accurately grasp the changes in the ship's course. Meanwhile, since the support plate 8 can rotate flexibly within a certain angle range, the operator can adjust the angle of the digital display panel 9 according to their viewing position and angle requirements in order to view the displayed information more clearly.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
