Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of marine equipment technology, and in particular to a handle structure, operating device, water propulsion device, and water-movable equipment for a water propulsion device. Background Technology
[0002] Water propulsion systems are used to move mobile devices in water. They can be combined with a waterborne vehicle to provide propulsion. Common water propulsion systems include outboard motors mounted on the stern. In some control methods, the operator operates the outboard motor by manipulating its rudder. The rudder's grip structure is rod-shaped, with the grip and rudder body on the same axis, and usually close to the bow. Because the operator often needs to face the bow to observe its direction when operating the outboard motor, their arms tend to point towards the bow as their body does. However, to grip the handle and maintain a bow-facing position, the hand and forearm must form a certain angle. This puts the arm muscles under continuous strain, leading to muscle soreness and fatigue during prolonged operation, potentially causing accidents. Utility Model Content
[0003] The embodiments of this application provide a grip structure for a water propulsion device, an operating device, a water propulsion device, and a water mobile device.
[0004] This application provides a grip structure for a water propulsion device. The grip structure includes a rod, a handle, and a movable control element. The rod includes a first end and a second end, which are opposite each other in the longitudinal direction. The first end is close to and used to connect to the body of the water propulsion device, while the second end is away from the body. The handle includes a main grip and a connecting rod, which is connected to the second end, and the main grip is mounted on the connecting rod. The movable control element is disposed on the rod and / or the handle. The grip structure has a first control mode. In the first control mode, the connecting rod is located on one side of the rod, and the movable control element is configured to be rotated, pressed, or flicked to control the propulsion power of the water propulsion device.
[0005] In some embodiments, the grip has two main grips located on opposite sides of the rod, mirror-symmetrical about a mirror plane passing through the central axis of the rod. The main grips are rotatably engaged with the connecting rod, and can rotate relative to the connecting rod about a first direction intersecting the length direction of the rod. The grip structure has a second control mode; in this second control mode, the rotation information of the main grips relative to the connecting rod is used to indicate the propulsion power of the water thruster.
[0006] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the cross-section of the handle includes a first side and a second side facing away from each other, wherein the first side and the second side are arcs or straight lines.
[0007] In some embodiments, the angle Φ between the first direction and the length direction of the rod is greater than or equal to 45° and less than or equal to 135°.
[0008] In some embodiments, the axis of the main grip is arranged along an arc curve, and the center of the arc curve is located on the axis of the rod.
[0009] In some embodiments, the grip further includes a main sensor disposed on the link or the main grip. The main sensor senses rotational information of the main grip relative to the link and outputs a first control electrical signal, which generates a first control command for the water propulsion device. The grip also includes a main magnetic component disposed on one of the link and the main grip, and a main sensor disposed on the other. The main sensor identifies the rotational information of the main grip relative to the link based on detected changes in the magnetic field of the main magnetic component.
[0010] In some embodiments, the grip structure has a third control mode. The rod includes a main body and a secondary grip that rotates with the main body. One end of the main body is coupled to the main body, and the other end of the main body is connected to the grip. The secondary grip is disposed between the two ends of the main body. The rotation information of the secondary grip relative to the main body is used to control the propulsion power of the water thruster when the grip structure is in the third control mode. In the third control mode, the rotation information of the main grip is ineffective in indicating the propulsion power of the water thruster.
[0011] In some embodiments, the pole further includes a secondary sensor disposed on the main body or the secondary grip. The secondary sensor senses rotational information of the secondary grip relative to the main body and outputs a second control electrical signal, which generates a second control command for the water propeller. The pole also includes a secondary magnetic element disposed on one of the main body and the secondary grip, and a secondary sensor disposed on the other. The secondary sensor identifies the rotational information of the secondary grip relative to the main body based on detected changes in the magnetic field of the secondary magnetic element.
[0012] In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one remote button located at the end of the grip remote from the rod body; the grip also includes a remote electronic unit coupled to the remote button, the remote electronic unit being configured to output a third control electrical signal in response to a triggering of the remote button, the third control electrical signal being used to generate a third control command for the water propulsion device.

[0014] In some embodiments, the grip has a free end remote from the second end of the rod, and the distal button is disposed on the end face of the free end.
[0015] In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one proximal button disposed on the grip near the second end; the grip also includes a proximal electronics unit coupled to the proximal button, the proximal electronics unit being configured to output a fourth control electrical signal in response to triggering the proximal button, the fourth control electrical signal being used to generate a fourth control command for the water thruster.
[0016] In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one main button located at one end of the lever near the handle. The lever also includes a main electronics unit coupled to the main button, configured to output a fifth control signal in response to a triggering action of the main button, the fifth control signal being used to generate a fifth control command for the water thruster.
[0017] In some embodiments, the grip further includes an indicator light disposed on the linkage or the main grip, and the remote button and / or the main grip is configured to trigger the illumination of the indicator light. When the indicator light is illuminated, the remote button and the main grip are effective in controlling the water propulsion device; when the indicator light is off, the remote button and the main grip are ineffective in controlling the water propulsion device.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first end is detachably connected to the grip lever of the operating structure, and the main body is connected to the operating structure. One of the grip lever and the rod body has a latching hole, and the other has a snap fastener. The snap fastener engages with the latching hole to prevent the rod body from being detached from the grip lever. When the grip lever has a snap fastener, the grip lever includes a pressing portion coupled to the snap fastener to disengage the snap fastener from the latching hole. When the rod body has a snap fastener, the rod body includes a pressing portion coupled to the snap fastener to disengage the snap fastener from the latching hole. The grip structure also includes an elastic element connected to the snap fastener. The elastic element is configured to provide an elastic force to the snap fastener, the elastic force being used to re-engage the snap fastener with the latching hole.
[0019] In some embodiments, the grip bar is provided with a first magnetic element, and the first end is provided with a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element generate an attractive force, which is used to detachably connect the first end to the grip bar of the operating structure.
[0020] In some embodiments, the relative position of the connecting rod and the rod body is fixed.
[0021] In some embodiments, the grip is provided with two main grips and two connecting rods, with the two main grips rotatably mounted on the two connecting rods respectively. The grip structure has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the two connecting rods are located on both sides of the rod body; in the retracted state, the two connecting rods are respectively attached to both sides of the rod body or at least partially accommodated within the rod body.
[0022] In some embodiments, both links are rotatably connected to the rod body and held in an extreme position by a damping force provided by a damping element, the extreme position being the farthest position of the link from the rod body when the grip structure is in the extended state.
[0023] In some embodiments, both links are rotatably connected to the rod body and locked in an extreme position by a rigid fastener, the extreme position being the farthest position of the link from the rod body when the handle structure is in the extended state.
[0024] This application also provides an operating device for a water propulsion device, the operating device including the handle structure and operating structure described in any of the above embodiments. The operating structure includes a grip rod, and the handle structure is connected to the grip rod.
[0025] This application also provides a water propulsion device for moving a waterborne vehicle in water. The water propulsion device includes a main body, a steering shaft, a steering actuator, and an operating device as described in any of the above embodiments. The main body includes a fuselage, a connecting device, and a propulsion device. The connecting device connects the fuselage to the waterborne vehicle, and the propulsion device is connected to the fuselage and outputs propulsion force. The operating device is connected to the fuselage. The steering shaft is disposed on one of the connecting device and the fuselage. The steering actuator is disposed on the other of the connecting device and the fuselage, and is connected to the steering shaft.

[0027] In the handle structure, operating device, water propeller, and water-mobile equipment of this application, the handle is connected to the rod body, and the movable control element is disposed on the rod body and / or the handle. The propulsion power of the water propeller can be controlled by rotating, pressing, or flicking the movable control element. Since the connecting rod is connected to the second end of the rod body, the operator can easily operate the movable control element when holding the main handle. At this time, the angle between the operator's palm orientation and the extension direction of the arm is small, and the operator's muscles are not in a state of exertion for a long time. The operator's comfort when operating the handle structure is better. Therefore, the operator's accuracy in operating the handle structure is better, which can ensure the accuracy of the operator's operation of the water-mobile equipment and ensure the safety of the operator's operation of the water-mobile equipment.

[0053] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. These embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0054] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0055] Water propulsion systems are used to move mobile devices in water. They can be combined with a waterborne vehicle to provide propulsion. Common water propulsion systems include outboard motors mounted on the stern. In some control methods, the operator operates the outboard motor by manipulating a rudder. The rudder's grip structure is rod-shaped, with the grip and the main body of the rudder on the same axis, and most of the time kept close to the bow. Because the operator often needs to face the bow to observe its direction when operating the outboard motor, their arms tend to point towards the bow as their body faces it. However, the hand grip direction must be towards the bow to ensure a proper grip on the rudder. Figure 5As shown in Figure (a), the handle structure of the rudder is rod-shaped. During operation, the operator's palm and arm need to form a certain angle α, which is relatively large, usually an obtuse angle. At this time, the arm muscles are in a state of continuous exertion, thus the operator is prone to muscle soreness during prolonged operation, increasing driving fatigue and potentially leading to driving safety accidents. To solve this problem, this application provides a handle structure 10 for a water propulsion device. Figure 3 Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 and Figure 11 As shown), operating device 100 Figure 2 As shown), water thruster 1000 ( Figure 1 (as shown) and 10,000 water-based mobile devices ( Figure 1 (As shown).
[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 The water-based mobile device 10000 includes a water-based thruster 1000 and a water-based carrier 3000. The water-based thruster 1000 is a detachable power unit. When in use, the water-based thruster 1000 is connected to the water-based carrier 3000, providing power and propelling the water-based carrier 3000 in the water. When not in use, the water-based thruster 1000 can be detached from the water-based carrier 3000 for maintenance and repair.
[0057] For example, the water-based mobile device 10000 in this application can be various boats such as passenger ships and yachts; correspondingly, the water-based carrier 3000 can be a hull, and the water-based propulsion device 1000 can be an outboard motor. For example, the water-based mobile device 10000 can also be a fishing boat, sailboat, or other vessel, without limitation. For example, the water-based propulsion device 1000 can also be a podded propulsion device, a stern engine, or a trolley motor, without limitation. The water-based carrier 3000 can also be a buoy or a rubber buoy, without limitation.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 The water propulsion device 1000 includes a main body 300 and an operating device 100. The main body 300 includes a fuselage 310, a connecting device 330, and a propulsion device 350. The connecting device 330 connects the fuselage 310 to the water carrier 3000. The propulsion device 350 is also connected to the fuselage 310 and is used to output propulsion force. The operating device 100 is connected to the fuselage 310.
[0059] Specifically, the fuselage body 310 provides mounting positions for other structures of the water propulsion device 1000. The connecting device 330, the propulsion device 350, and the operating device 100 are all connected to the fuselage body 310. The connecting device 330 is a structure used to connect two or more other components; in this application, the connecting device 330 is used to connect the fuselage body 310 and the water carrier 3000. The connecting device 330 enables the fuselage body 310 to be fixed relative to the water carrier 3000 or to move relative to the water carrier 3000. For example, the connecting device 330 enables the fuselage body 310 to turn and tilt relative to the water carrier 3000. The operating device 100 can adjust the propulsion heading of the water propulsion device 1000. The operator can apply manipulation by holding the operating device 100, thereby controlling the water propulsion device 1000 to perform corresponding actions. For example, the operator can control the water propulsion device 1000 to perform actions such as turning, tilting, acceleration, and deceleration through the operating device 100 to control the movement of the water-mobile device 10000. The propulsion device 350 is used to provide propulsion to the water vehicle 3000 to move the water vehicle 3000. The propulsion device 350 includes a propeller, which is placed underwater during use. The propeller of the propulsion device 350 rotates to move the water vehicle 3000.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the water propulsion unit 1000 further includes a steering shaft 500 and a steering actuator 700. The steering shaft 500 is disposed on one of the connecting device 330 and the fuselage body 310. The steering actuator 700 is disposed on the other of the connecting device 330 and the fuselage body 310, and is connected to the steering shaft 500. The steering actuator 700 is used to respond to steering commands and drive the fuselage body 310 to turn relative to the connecting device 330.
[0061] Specifically, in one embodiment, the steering shaft 500 is disposed on the connecting device 330, and the steering actuator 700 is disposed on the main body 310. The operating device 100 can be electrically connected to the steering actuator 700. The operating device 100 outputs control commands through sensors and / or electronic units (described below). The control commands include steering commands. The steering actuator 700 responds to the steering commands and drives the main body 310 to rotate around the axis of the steering shaft 500 in an electrically assisted manner according to the swing amount of the grip lever 301 (described below). The steering actuator 700 includes a motor and a transmission assembly connected to the motor. The transmission assembly is connected to the steering shaft 500 and transmits the steering torque of the motor to the steering shaft 500, thereby driving the main body 310 to rotate around the axis of the steering shaft 500. In another embodiment, the steering shaft 500 is disposed on the main body 310, and the steering actuator 700 is disposed on the connecting device 330.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An operating device 100 is used for the water propeller 1000. The operating device 100 includes a handle structure 10 and an operating structure 30. The operating structure 30 includes a grip rod 301, and the handle structure 10 is connected to the grip rod 301. Specifically, the handle structure 10 is used by the operator to grip and control the operating structure 30. Since the grip rod 301 is connected to the handle structure 10, when the water propeller 1000 is steered in an unassisted manner, the force applied by the operator to the handle structure 10 can be transmitted to the grip rod 301, which drives the main body 310 to rotate around the steering axis 500, thereby controlling the steering of the water propeller 1000. When the water propeller 1000 is steered in an assisted manner, the force applied by the operator to the handle structure 10 is sensed by a sensor, and the controller controls the steering actuator 700 to drive the main body 310 to steer around the steering axis 500 based on the sensed signal.
[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a handle structure 10 for a water propulsion device 1000. The handle structure 10 includes a rod 11, a handle 13, and a movable control element. The rod 11 includes a first end 1101 and a second end 1103, which are opposite each other in the length direction. The first end 1101 is close to and used to connect to the main body 300 of the water propulsion device 1000, while the second end 1103 is away from the main body 300. The handle 13 includes a main grip 131 and a connecting rod 132, which is connected to the second end 1103. The main grip 131 is mounted on the connecting rod 132. The movable control element is disposed on the rod 11 and / or the handle 13. The handle structure 10 has a first control mode. In the first control mode, the connecting rod 132 is located on one side of the rod 11, and the movable control element is configured to be rotated, pressed, or flicked to control the propulsion power of the water propulsion device 1000.
[0064] Specifically, the rod 11 is a structure in the grip structure 10 used to connect with the grip rod 301 of the operating structure 30. Along the length of the rod 11 (aligned with the central axis P1 of the rod 11 mentioned below), the rod 11 includes a first end 1101 and a second end 1103. The first end 1101 and the second end 1103 are opposite each other, with the first end 1101 closer to the main body 300 and connected to the main body 300 via the operating structure 30. Correspondingly, the second end 1103 is farther from the main body 300 than the first end 1101. Typically, the water propeller 1000 is mounted on the stern plate of the water carrier 3000, with the second end 1103 facing the bow of the water carrier 3000, so that the operator faces the bow. In this case, when the propulsion device 350 (e.g., a propeller) of the main body 300 outputs propulsion force to push water backward to propel the water carrier 3000 forward, the direction of the propulsion force is the direction in which the propulsion device 350 pushes the water. Figure 1 As shown by X1, it can be understood that the second end 1103 is located in the opposite direction of the propulsion force at this time, as... Figure 1 As shown by X2, the palm is roughly perpendicular to the forearm in the direction of gripping the handle structure 10, and the joints of the forearm and palm do not need to be bent, making the operation comfortable. Therefore, the process of operating the handle structure 10 is more in line with the operator's operating habits.
[0065] The handle 13 is a structure in the handle structure 10 designed for direct gripping by the operator. The connecting rod 132 connects to the second end 1103 of the rod body 11, and the main grip 131 is for the operator to hold. The main grip 131 is fitted around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 132 for connection. In this configuration, the main grip 131 extends the extension length of the connecting rod 132, allowing the user to grip the handle 13 over a wider range, and the position of the main grip 131 can be directly identified by appearance. In some embodiments, the main grip 131 is made of a different material than the connecting rod 132; the main grip 131 can be made of a more skin-friendly material to improve user comfort when holding it.
[0066] The active control element is a control structure within the grip structure 10 that allows the operator to control the water propeller 1000. The active control element can be, but is not limited to, a knob, a button, and a lever, and different types of active control elements have different operating methods. When the active control element is a knob, the operator can rotate it; when it is a button, the operator can press it; and when it is a lever, the operator can move it.
[0067] The active control element is located on the rod 11 and / or the handle 13, when the operator holds the main handle 131. The operator's hand is close to the rod 11 and / or the handle 13, allowing for convenient operation of the active control element to control the handle structure 10, thereby enabling the water propeller 1000 to tilt upwards, downwards, accelerate, decelerate, turn left, or turn right. When the operator operates the handle structure 10, it has different control modes. In this application, the handle structure 10 has at least a first control mode, a second control mode, and a third control mode. The first control mode is the mode in which the operator manipulates the main body 300 through the active control element. When the handle structure 10 is in the first control mode, the connecting rod 132 is located on one side of the rod 11. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 With reference to the extension direction of the rod 11, the connecting rod 132 is located on the left or right side of the rod 11, and the operator can hold the main grip 131 connected to the connecting rod 132 on the left or right side.
[0068] When the grip structure 10 is in the first control mode, the operator is typically located at the stern and to one side of the stick 11, facing the head (bow) of the watercraft 3000. One hand grips the main grip 131. The operator can then use the fingers of the hand holding the main grip 131 to operate the active controls, or use the other hand to operate the active controls, such as... Figure 5 As shown in Figure (b) above. The above attitude is a common attitude for manipulating the water-based mobile device 10000, and is usually applied in the conventional scenario of the water-based mobile device 10000 navigating. In this application, the above attitude is defined as the first attitude.
[0069] Define the extension direction of the main grip 131 as the first direction L, such as... Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown. At this point, the length direction of the rod 11 intersects the first direction L at a certain angle; therefore, compared to a rod-shaped grip structure, the grip structure 10 of this application is easier to hold. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 5In Figure (b), when the operator manipulates the handle structure 10 in the first posture, the angle between the palm and (forearm) is very small, almost zero, meaning that their extension directions are almost on the same straight line M2. Because the angle between the palm and (forearm) is very small, the operator's arm muscles are in a comfortable state, and the muscles are not constantly under strain. Therefore, the operator is less likely to experience muscle soreness during prolonged operation, ensuring the accuracy of the operator's operation of the water-based mobile device 10000. When the movable control element is rotated, pressed, or flicked, it can control the propulsion power of the water-based propeller 1000. For example, the greater the pressure applied to the movable control element, the greater the propulsion power of the water-based propeller 1000 controlled by the operating device 100, and the faster the water-based carrier 3000 moves.
[0070] In the grip structure 10 of this application, the grip 13 is connected via a rod 11. An active control element is disposed on the rod 11 and / or the grip 13. The propulsion power of the water propeller 1000 can be controlled by rotating, pressing, or flicking the active control element. Since the connecting rod 132 is connected to the second end 1103 of the rod 11, the operator can easily operate the active control element when holding the main grip 131. At this time, the angle between the operator's palm and the extension direction of their arm is small, and the operator's muscles are not in a state of prolonged exertion. The operator experiences better comfort when operating the grip structure 10. Therefore, the operator's accuracy in operating the grip structure 10 is better, thus ensuring the accuracy of the operator's operation of the water-based mobile device 10000 and guaranteeing the safety of the operator's operation of the water-based mobile device 10000.
[0071] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the handle 13 is provided with two main grips 131, which are located on opposite sides of the rod 11. The two main grips 131 are mirror-symmetrical about a mirror plane passing through the central axis of the rod 11. The main grips 131 are rotatably engaged with the connecting rod 132. The main grips 131 can rotate relative to the connecting rod 132 about a first direction L, which intersects the length direction of the rod 11. The handle structure 10 has a second control mode. When the handle structure 10 is in the second control mode, the rotation information of the main grips 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 is used to indicate the propulsion power of the water propulsion device 1000.
[0072] Specifically, the handle 13 includes two main grips 131. At least a portion of the connecting rod 132 of the handle 13 is located on opposite sides of the rod body 11. The main grips 131 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 132. More specifically, the main grips 131 are fitted around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 132 and are capable of rotating around the connecting rod 132. The direction in which the main grips 131 rotate is a first direction L, such as... Figure 4As shown. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the extension direction of the main grip 131 and / or the connecting rod 132 is an arc, the first direction L is the direction of the axis of rotation of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132. The length direction of the rod 11 intersects the first direction L at a certain angle. Therefore, compared with the rod-shaped grip structure, the grip structure 10 of this application is easier to hold.
[0073] The second control mode is the mode in which the operator controls the main body 300 through the main grip 131. When the grip structure 10 is in the second control mode, the connecting rod 132 is positioned to one side of the rod body 11. At this time, the operator can control the main body 300 by operating the grip structure 10 through the main grip 131, thereby enabling the water propeller 100 to tilt upwards, downwards, accelerate, decelerate, turn left, or turn right. When the main grip 131 rotates relative to the connecting rod 132, it outputs rotation information, including the rotation speed, rotation angle, and rotation direction. This rotation information is used to instruct the operating device 100 to control the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000. For example, the larger the rotation angle of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132, the greater the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000 controlled by the operating device 100, and the faster the water carrier 3000 moves.
[0074] With the connecting rod 132 located on opposite sides of the rod body 11, the two main grips 131 movably connected to it are also located on opposite sides of the rod body 11. Therefore, when the operator adopts the first posture and the grip structure 10 is in the second control mode, the operator can grip one of the main grips 131 on the corresponding side of the rod body 11 from either side, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (b), the operator can be positioned at any position at the stern of the boat, either to the left or right of the handle structure 10. The operator can also see the direction of travel of the water-based mobile device 10000, making it convenient to observe the conditions on the water. This ensures the safe operation of the water-based mobile device 10000 while operating it.
[0075] The central axis P1 of the rod 11 is parallel to the centerline of the water carrier 3000. Taking the central axis P1 of the rod 11 as a reference, the plane passing through the mirror image of the central axis of the rod 11, i.e., the centerline plane of the water carrier 3000, is the symmetrical plane of the two main grips 131. The two main grips 131 are mirror-symmetrical about this mirror image. Therefore, when the operator adopts the first posture and the grip structure 10 is in the second control mode, such as... Figure 5As shown in Figure (b), the operator will not feel any difference in operation when holding the main handle 131 on the corresponding side of the lever 11 from either side. There will be no problem in operating adaptation when the operator switches operating positions and uses different hands to operate. Both left and right hand operation can ensure safety and accuracy.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the outer contour of the cross-section of the handle 13 includes a first side 1301 and a second side 1303 facing away from each other, and the first side 1301 and the second side 1303 are arcs or straight lines.
[0077] Specifically, the cross section of the handle 13 is defined as the plane parallel to both the central axis P1 of the rod 11 and the central axis P2 of the handle 13. In this case, the two opposing sides of the outer contour of the handle 13's cross section are the first side 1301 and the second side 1303, respectively. The first side 1301 corresponds to the contour line of the handle 13 closer to the rod 11, and the second side 1303 corresponds to the contour line of the handle 13 farther from the rod 11.
[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first side 1301 and the second side 1303 are curved. The extension direction of the main grip 131 and the connecting rod 132 is also curved and aligned with the central axis P2 of the handle 13. The first direction L is the direction of the rotation axis of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132. At this time, the radius of the handle 13 is large. When the operator adopts the first posture, the operator can grip the handle 13 within a large range. Therefore, when gripping the handle 13, the user can increase the range of body rotation angles relative to the rod 11. The operator can move their body, avoiding fatigue caused by prolonged periods in the same posture, and can visually observe multiple directions around the water-based mobile device 10000, facilitating observation of the water conditions. This ensures the safe operation of the water-based mobile device 10000 while operating it.
[0079] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first side 1301 and the second side 1303 are straight lines. At this time, the extension directions of the main grip 131 and the connecting rod 132 are also straight lines. The first direction L is the extension direction of the main grip 131, and the first direction L is consistent with the central axis P2 of the handle 13. In this configuration, the structure of the handle 13 is relatively simple, making it easy for the operator to grip and apply force, which is more beneficial for the operation of the water propulsion device 1000 in environments with large waves.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 8In some embodiments, the first direction L is perpendicular to the length direction P1 of the rod 11. Specifically, the direction of the axis of rotation of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 is perpendicular to the length direction P1 of the rod 11, and the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 is 90°. In this case, with the length of the handle 13 fixed, the limiting space for the forearm to be placed between the handle 13 and the rod 11 is larger, so the operator can grip the handle structure 10 over a larger range, and the operator can more easily control the water propeller 1000.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is greater than 45° and less than 90°, or the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is equal to 45°.
[0082] Specifically, the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 directly affects the convenience and comfort of the operator holding and operating the main grip 131. The angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 can be, but is not limited to, any one or any two of 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, and 88°. If the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction is less than 45°, then the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is too small, the main grip 131 is too close to the rod 11, and if the operator uses a... Figure 5 The first posture shown in Figure (b) for holding and operating the main handle 131 has a small space for arm placement, causing the operator's arm to bend, resulting in a very uncomfortable grip. Therefore, the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is within the range mentioned above. On the one hand, this makes the handle structure 10 more compact and the water propeller 1000 smaller, facilitating transportation and carrying. On the other hand, when the operator holds and operates the main handle 131 in the first posture, the space for arm placement is appropriate, allowing the operator's arm to fully extend normally, resulting in a more comfortable grip and preventing muscle soreness.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is greater than 90° and less than 135°, or the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is equal to 135°.
[0084] Specifically, the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 directly affects the convenience and comfort of the operator holding and operating the main grip 131. The angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 can be, but is not limited to, any one or any two of 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 132°, and 135°. If the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 is greater than 135°, then the angle Φ is too large, the distance between the two main grips 131 on the side where the second side 1303 is located is too close, and the main grips 131 and the rod 11 will form a near-close angle. Figure 5 The straight rod shown in Figure (a) can be used by the operator as follows: Figure 5 The first posture shown in Figure (b) for holding and operating the main grip 131 can lead to the fatigue problem mentioned in the background art. Therefore, by taking the angle Φ between the first direction L and the length direction P1 of the rod 11 within the range mentioned above, the operator can feel more comfortable holding and operating the main grip 131, and will not feel uncomfortable or fatigued during long-term operation.
[0085] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the axis of the main grip 131 is set along an arc curve, and the center of the arc curve is set on the axis of the rod 11.
[0086] Specifically, when the first side 1301 and the second side 1303 are curved, the axis of the main grip 131 is also curved. In the above embodiment, the arc where the axis of the main grip 131 is located is a circular arc, and the center of this circular arc is located on the axis of the rod 11, which can be represented by the central axis P2. Thus, the relative positional relationship between the rod 11 and the main grip 131 conforms to ergonomics, the structure of the grip 13 is more compatible with a relaxed arm posture, the operator's grip on the grip 13 is more comfortable, the operator will not feel muscle soreness, and the operator's operation accuracy is better.
[0087] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the arc length of the arc curve P2 is greater than or equal to the width of a human hand. Specifically, since the axis of the main grip 131 is set along the arc curve P2, the arc length of the arc curve P2 corresponds to the range of the main grip 131 that the operator can hold. Figure 5As shown, the width of a human hand is the maximum dimension of the hand in the width direction. When the arc length of the arc curve P2 is greater than or equal to the width of the human hand, the main grip 131 provides a larger gripping area. The operator's hand can be fully supported by the main grip 131 in the width direction, without any unsupported parts hanging in the air. Thus, the human hand can grip the main grip 131 more stably, making the process of gripping the handle 13 more comfortable and accurate. In some embodiments, the arc length can reach two palm widths, or even three or four palm widths, to increase the gripping area and adapt to different body orientations.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the grip 13 further includes a main sensor 133, which is disposed on the link 132 or the main grip 131. The main sensor 133 is used to sense rotation information of the main grip 131 rotating relative to the link 132 and output a first control electrical signal. The first control electrical signal is used to generate a first control command for the water propulsion device 1000.
[0089] Specifically, the main sensor 133 is a device used to sense rotational information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132. The main sensor 133 is positioned on the connecting rod 132 or the main grip 131. When the main grip 131 rotates relative to the connecting rod 132, the main sensor 133 detects rotational information such as rotation angle, rotational speed, and rotational direction, and outputs the detected rotational information as an electrical signal, which is the first control electrical signal. The operating device 100 also includes a controller (not shown). The controller is electrically connected to the main sensor 133 to convert the first control electrical signal output by the main sensor 133 into a first control command to control the water propeller 1000. The first control command may be, but is not limited to, acceleration and deceleration commands. Therefore, the grip 13 can convert the rotation information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 into a first control command through the main sensor 133, thereby realizing the control of the water propulsion device 1000. In this way, the operator can directly control the water propulsion device 1000 through the grip structure 10, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement.
[0090] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the grip 13 further includes a main magnetic element 134, which is disposed on one of the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131, and a main sensor 133 is disposed on the other of the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131. The main sensor 133 identifies the rotation information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 based on the detected magnetic field change information of the main magnetic element 134.
[0091] Specifically, the main magnetic component 134 is a structure used to reflect the relative positional relationship between the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131. The main magnetic component 134 generates a magnetic field and works in conjunction with the main sensor 133. The main sensor 133 can detect the magnetic field generated by the main magnetic component 134 and analyze the changes in the magnetic field. The main magnetic component 134 is located on the connecting rod 132 or on the main grip 131. In some embodiments, the main magnetic component 134 is located on the connecting rod 132, and the main sensor 133 is located on the main grip 131. In other embodiments, the main magnetic component 134 is located on the main grip 131, and the main sensor 133 is located on the connecting rod 132.
[0092] When the main grip 131 rotates relative to the connecting rod 132, the magnetic field of the main magnetic component 134 detected by the main sensor 133 changes. This change in magnetic field reflects rotational information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132, such as rotation angle, rotational speed, and rotational direction. Therefore, the main sensor 133 can obtain rotational information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 based on the detected change in the magnetic field of the main magnetic component 134. Thus, the handle 13, through the cooperation of the main sensor 133 and the main magnetic component 134, can convert the rotational information of the main grip 131 relative to the connecting rod 132 into a first control command, thereby realizing the control of the water propulsion device 1000. In this way, the operator can directly control the water propulsion device 1000 through the handle structure 10, making the operation simple and easy to implement.
[0093] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the grip structure 10 has a third control mode. The rod 11 includes a main body 111 and a secondary grip 112 that rotates with the main body 111. One end of the main body 111 is coupled to the main body 300, and the other end of the main body 111 is connected to the grip 13. The secondary grip 112 is disposed between the two ends of the main body 111. The rotation information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main body 111 is used to control the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000 when the grip structure 10 is in the third control mode. In the third control mode, the rotation information of the main grip 131 fails to indicate the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000.
[0094] Specifically, the main stem 111 is the main structure of the rod 11. The main stem 111 includes two opposing ends along the length P1 of the rod 11. One end of the main stem 111 corresponding to the first end 1101 is coupled to the main body 300 via the operating structure 30, and the other end of the main stem 111 corresponding to the second end 1103 is connected to the handle 13. The auxiliary handle 112 is used by the operator to grip and operate the operating structure 30. The auxiliary handle 112 is located between the two ends of the main stem 111 and is rotatably connected to the main stem 111. More specifically, the auxiliary handle 112 is fitted around the outer periphery of the main stem 111 and can rotate around it. By operating the handle structure 10, the operator can control the main body 300 via the operating device 100, thereby enabling the water propeller 100 to control the water carrier 3000 to tilt upwards, downwards, accelerate, decelerate, turn left, or turn right.
[0095] The third control mode is the mode in which the operator controls the main body 300 via the secondary grip 112. When the grip structure 10 is in the third control mode, the secondary grip 112 can output rotation information (explained as before) when rotating relative to the main body 111. This rotation information is used to instruct the operating device 100 to control the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000. For example, the larger the rotation angle of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main body 111, the greater the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000 controlled by the operating device 100, and the faster the water carrier 3000 moves. Furthermore, when the grip structure 10 is in the third control mode, the rotation information transmitted by the main grip 131 cannot adjust the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000; only the rotation information of the secondary grip 112 is effective in instructing the propulsion power of the water propeller 1000, thus avoiding interference between the rotation information transmitted by the main grip 131 and the secondary grip 112. Therefore, the grip structure 10 also includes a third control mode. In the third control mode, the operator can control the propulsion power of the water propulsion device 1000 by operating the secondary grip 112, making the operation of the water propulsion device 1000 more flexible.
[0096] At this time, the operator can also adopt a second posture to control the grip structure 10. The second posture is as follows: the operator is at the stern and located on one side of the pole 11, with their body facing the side of the water carrier 3000 (at a certain angle between the bow and stern), and one hand grips the auxiliary grip 112, such as... Figure 5As shown in Figure (c), the second posture is another common posture for operating the water-based mobile device 10000, and is also commonly used in the regular navigation scenarios of the water-based mobile device 10000. When the operator operates the handle structure 10 in the second posture, the angle between the palm and (forearm) is also very small, almost 0, that is, the extension directions of the two are almost on the same straight line M3. Because the angle between the palm and (forearm) is very small, the operator's arm muscles are in a more comfortable state, and the arm muscles are not in a state of continuous exertion. Therefore, the operator is not likely to feel muscle soreness during long-term operation, which can ensure the accuracy of the operator's operation of the water-based mobile device 10000. At the same time, when the operator holds the secondary handle 112 to operate the water-based mobile device 10000, the operator can still adopt the following posture: Figure 5 As shown in Figure (a), the traditional grip method allows the operator to choose to hold the secondary grip 112 according to their operating habits. In this case, the operator, who is accustomed to driving the water-based mobile device 10000 from the side, can retain their original driving habits while also being able to change their grip posture to hold the main grip 131 to operate the water-based mobile device 10000 after their arm muscles become fatigued. This makes the operator's control of the water-based mobile device 10000 more flexible and diverse, resulting in a better driving experience.
[0097] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rod 11 further includes a secondary sensor 113, which is disposed on the main body 111 or the secondary grip 112. The secondary sensor 113 is used to sense rotation information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main body 111 and output a second control electrical signal. The second control electrical signal is used to generate a second control command for the water propulsion device 1000.
[0098] Specifically, the secondary sensor 113 is a device used to sense rotational information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main shaft 111. The secondary sensor 113 is positioned on either the main shaft 111 or the secondary grip 112. When the secondary grip 112 rotates relative to the main shaft 111, the secondary sensor 113 detects the rotational information, such as rotation angle, rotational speed, and rotational direction, and outputs the detected rotational information as an electrical signal, which is the second control electrical signal. The controller is electrically connected to the secondary sensor 113 to convert the second control electrical signal output by the secondary sensor 113 into a second control command to control the water propeller 1000. The second control command may be, but is not limited to, acceleration and deceleration commands. Therefore, the rod 11 can convert the rotation information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main stem 111 into a second control command through the secondary sensor 113, thereby realizing the control of the water propulsion device 1000. In this way, the operator can directly control the water propulsion device 1000 through the grip structure 10, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement.
[0099] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rod 11 further includes a secondary magnetic element 114, which is disposed on one of the main stem 111 and the secondary grip 112, and a secondary sensor 113 is disposed on the other of the main stem 111 and the secondary grip 112. The secondary sensor 113 identifies the rotation information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main stem 111 based on the detected magnetic field change information of the secondary magnetic element 114.
[0100] Specifically, the secondary magnetic element 114 is a structure used to reflect the relative positional relationship between the main frame 111 and the secondary grip 112. The secondary magnetic element 114 generates a magnetic field and works in conjunction with the secondary sensor 113. The secondary sensor 113 detects the magnetic field generated by the secondary magnetic element 114 and analyzes changes in the magnetic field. The secondary magnetic element 114 is positioned on either the main frame 111 or the secondary grip 112. In some embodiments, the secondary magnetic element 114 is located on the main frame 111, and the secondary sensor 113 is located on the secondary grip 112. In other embodiments, the secondary magnetic element 114 is located on the secondary grip 112, and the secondary sensor 113 is located on the main frame 111.
[0101] When the secondary grip 112 rotates relative to the main stem 111, the main sensor 133 detects changes in the magnetic field of the secondary magnetic component 114. These changes reflect rotational information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main stem 111, such as rotation angle, speed, and direction. Therefore, the secondary sensor 113 can obtain rotational information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main stem 111 based on the detected changes in the magnetic field of the secondary magnetic component 114. Thus, the grip 13, through the cooperation of the secondary sensor 113 and the secondary magnetic component 114, can convert the rotational information of the secondary grip 112 relative to the main stem 111 into a second control command, thereby controlling the water propulsion device 1000. In this way, the operator can directly control the water propulsion device 1000 through the grip structure 10, making the operation simple and easy to implement.
[0102] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one remote button 135, which is located at the end of the grip 13 away from the rod 11.
[0103] Specifically, the remote button 135 allows the operator to control the water propeller 1000. The remote button 135 is located on the handle 13, specifically at the end of the handle 13 furthest from the rod 11. In this case, the distance between the remote button 135 and the rod 11 is relatively large, making it easier for the operator to control the remote button 135. The operator can more conveniently and easily operate the operating device 100 and control the water propeller 1000. Furthermore, if the operator uses... Figure 5 When the operator holds the handle structure 10 in the first posture shown in Figure (b), the four fingers other than the thumb can hold the main handle 131 stably to control the main handle 131 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the linkage 132, thereby controlling the acceleration or deceleration of the water mobile device 10000. The thumb can operate the remote button 135 very flexibly and conveniently to control the water mobile device 10000 to perform the corresponding function.
[0104] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the grip 13 also includes a remote electronic unit (not shown) coupled to a remote button 135, the remote electronic unit being configured to output a third control electrical signal in response to a triggering of the remote button 135, the third control electrical signal being used to generate a third control command for the water thruster 1000.
[0105] Specifically, the remote electronic unit is a device that outputs a third control electrical signal in response to the triggering of the remote button 135. The remote electronic unit can be, but is not limited to, a microswitch, a tactile switch, or a Hall effect switch. When the remote button 135 is pressed, the remote button 135 triggers the remote electronic unit through pressure (e.g., if the remote electronic unit is a tactile switch) or other dimensional information (e.g., a change in magnetic field, corresponding to a Hall effect switch). The shape, size, and position of the remote electronic unit are adapted to the shape, size, and position of the remote button 135 to ensure that the remote electronic unit can respond to the triggering of the remote button 135.
[0106] The remote electronic unit is triggered and outputs a third control electrical signal. The controller communicates with the remote electronic unit via wired or wireless means to convert the third control electrical signal output by the remote electronic unit into a third control command to control the water propeller 1000. The third control command may be, but is not limited to, a power-on command, a tilt-up command, a tilt-down command, and a steering command. In this embodiment, the third control command corresponds to the power-on command, power-off command, tilt-up command, and tilt-down command. Therefore, the handle 13 can output the third control command through the remote button 135 and the remote electronic unit, thereby realizing the control of the water propeller 1000. The operator can directly control the water propeller 1000 through the handle structure 10, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement.
[0107] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some implementations, the remote button 135 includes a remote power button 1351, which is used to control the water thruster 1000 to be powered on.
[0108] Specifically, the remote power button 1351 is the button in the remote button 135 used to control the power-on of the water thruster 1000. When the operator presses the remote power button 1351, it triggers the corresponding remote electronic unit. The remote electronic unit outputs a third control electrical signal corresponding to the power-on operation. The controller outputs a third control command (power-on command) corresponding to the power-on operation based on the third control electrical signal to turn on the water thruster 1000. Therefore, the operator can control the power-on of the water thruster 1000 by operating the remote power button 1351.
[0109] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the remote button 135 includes an upward tilt button 1353 and a downward tilt button 1355. The upward tilt button 1353 is used to control the water propeller 1000 to tilt upward, and the downward tilt button 1355 is used to control the water propeller 1000 to tilt downward.
[0110] Specifically, the up-tilt button 1353 is the button in the remote button 135 used to control the water thruster 1000 to tilt upwards. When the operator presses the up-tilt button 1353, the up-tilt button 1353 triggers the corresponding remote electronic unit, which outputs a third control electrical signal corresponding to the up-tilt operation. The controller outputs a third control command (up-tilt command) corresponding to the up-tilt operation based on the third control electrical signal, so that the water thruster 1000 tilts upwards.
[0111] The tilt-down button 1355 is a remote button 135 used to control the water thruster 1000 to tilt downwards. When the operator presses the tilt-down button 1355, the button triggers the corresponding remote electronic unit, which outputs a third control electrical signal corresponding to the tilt-down operation. The controller outputs a third control command (tilt-down command) corresponding to the tilt-down operation based on the third control electrical signal, so that the water thruster 1000 tilts downwards.
[0112] Therefore, the operator can tilt the water propeller 1000 upwards by pressing the upward tilt button 1353, ensuring the safety of the components within the water propeller 1000 when the water-mobile device 10000 is navigating in shallow water or encountering obstacles. The operator can also tilt the water propeller 1000 downwards by pressing the downward tilt button 1355, ensuring the propulsion device 350 outputs normal thrust. The upward tilt button 1353 and the downward tilt button 1355 allow the operator to input control commands quickly and conveniently, and the water propeller 1000 responds rapidly, making it highly effective in handling emergency navigation situations.
[0113] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the grip 13 also includes an indicator light 136, which is disposed on the linkage 132 or the main grip 131. The remote button 135 and / or the main grip 131 are configured to trigger the illumination of the indicator light 136. When the indicator light 136 is illuminated, the remote button 135 and the main grip 131 are effective in controlling the water propulsion device 1000. When the indicator light 136 is off, the remote button 135 and the main grip 131 are ineffective in controlling the water propulsion device 1000.
[0114] Specifically, indicator light 136 is a structure used to indicate whether the control of the remote button 135 and the main grip 131 on the water propeller 1000 is effective. Indicator light 136 can be, but is not limited to, a light-emitting diode, a neon lamp, an incandescent indicator light, and a laser diode. Indicator light 136 is located on the linkage 132 or the main grip 131, in an area easily visible to the operator. When the operator manipulates the remote button 135 and / or the main grip 131, indicator light 136 is triggered and illuminated to produce light that is noticeable to the operator.
[0115] When indicator light 136 is illuminated, when the operator controls the water propeller 1000 via the operating device 100, commands output by the operator through the remote button 135 and the main grip 131 can control the water propeller 1000, while commands output by the secondary grip 112 and other structures cannot. When indicator light 136 is off, when the operator controls the water propeller 1000 via the operating device 100, commands output by the operator through the remote button 135 and the main grip 131 cannot control the water propeller 1000, while commands output by the secondary grip 112 and other structures can. Therefore, the operator can determine which structures in the grip structure 10 can be used to control the water propeller 1000 based on the information displayed by indicator light 136, allowing the operator to flexibly select the method of operating the grip structure 10 according to the application scenario.
[0116] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some implementations, the remote button 135 is located near the main grip 131.
[0117] Specifically, when the operator uses, such as Figure 5 In the first grip posture shown in Figure (b), when holding the main grip 131, the operator's thumb and other fingers can extend to the location of the distal button 135. That is, because the distal button 135 is close to the main grip 131, the operator can press the distal button 135 with their thumb and other fingers while holding the main grip 131. This allows the operator to perform two operations while manipulating the grip 131; for example, the operator can control the water propeller 1000 to accelerate using the main grip 131 and control the water propeller 1000 to tilt upwards using the distal button 135. The operator's operation of the grip structure 10 is more flexible, improving the operator's experience with the water propeller 1000.
[0118] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the handle 13 has a free end away from the second end 1103 of the rod 11, and the distal button 135 is disposed on the end face of the free end.
[0119] Specifically, taking the second end 1103 of the rod 11 as a reference, the handle 13 extends away from the second end 1103 in a direction intersecting the central axis P1 of the rod 11, and has a free end. The end face of the free end is the face of the handle 13 furthest from the second end 1103 of the rod 11. With the remote button 135 located on the end face of the free end, the operator can more easily press the remote button 135 with their thumb or other fingers when holding the main handle 131. Therefore, the operator can more easily control the handle 13 to perform two operations simultaneously. For example, the operator can control the water propeller 1000 to accelerate using the main handle 131 and control the water propeller 1000 to tilt upwards using the remote button 135. The operator's operation of the handle structure 10 is more flexible, further improving the operator's experience with the water propeller 1000.
[0120] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one proximal button 137 disposed on the grip 13 near the second end 1103.
[0121] Specifically, the proximal button 137 is operable by the operator to control the water propeller 1000. The proximal button 137 is located on the handle 13, specifically near the second end 1103. At this position, the proximal button 137 is relatively close to the rod 11, allowing the operator to operate the proximal button 137 with their thumb while holding the secondary handle 112 with four fingers. Therefore, it is easier for the operator to control the proximal button 137, enabling them to better control the operating device 100 and the water propeller 1000.
[0122] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the grip 13 also includes a proximal electronics unit (not shown) coupled to a proximal button 137, the proximal electronics unit being configured to output a fourth control electrical signal in response to a triggering of the proximal button 137, the fourth control electrical signal being used to generate a fourth control command for the water thruster 1000.
[0123] Specifically, the proximal electronic unit is a device that outputs a fourth control electrical signal in response to the triggering of the proximal button 137. The proximal electronic unit can be, but is not limited to, a microswitch, a tactile switch, or a Hall effect switch. When the proximal button 137 is pressed, the proximal button 137 triggers the proximal electronic unit through pressure (e.g., if the proximal electronic unit is a tactile switch) or other dimensional information (e.g., a change in magnetic field, corresponding to a Hall effect switch). The shape, size, and position of the proximal electronic unit are adapted to the shape, size, and position of the proximal button 137 to ensure that the proximal electronic unit can respond to the triggering of the proximal button 137.
[0124] The proximal electronic unit is triggered and outputs a fourth control electrical signal. The controller communicates with the proximal electronic unit via wired or wireless means to convert the fourth control electrical signal output by the proximal electronic unit into a fourth control command to control the water propeller 1000. The fourth control command may be, but is not limited to, a power-on command, a power-off command, an acceleration command, a deceleration command, an up-tilt command, a down-tilt command, and a steering command. In this embodiment, the third control command corresponds to the power-on command, the power-off command, the up-tilt command, and the down-tilt command. Therefore, the handle 13 can output the fourth control command through the proximal button 137 and the proximal electronic unit, thereby realizing the control of the water propeller 1000. The operator can directly control the water propeller 1000 through the handle structure 10, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement.
[0125] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the active control includes at least one trunk button 115, which is located at one end of the lever 11 near the handle 13.
[0126] Specifically, the main button 115 is operated by the operator to control the water propeller 1000. The main button 115 is located on the lever 11, specifically on the second end 1103 of the lever 11 near the handle 13. In this position, the main button 115 is relatively close to the handle 13. When the operator uses the second posture to operate the handle structure 10, they can operate the main button 115 with their thumb while holding the secondary handle 112 with four fingers. This makes controlling the main button 115 easier, allowing the operator to better control the operating device 100 and the water propeller 1000.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rod 11 also includes a main electronic unit coupled to the main button 115, the main electronic unit being configured to output a fifth control electrical signal in response to the triggering of the main button 115, the fifth control electrical signal being used to generate a fifth control command for the water thruster 1000.
[0128] Specifically, the main electronic unit is a device that outputs a fifth control electrical signal in response to the triggering of the main button 115. The main electronic unit can be, but is not limited to, a microswitch, a tactile switch, or a Hall switch. When the main button 115 is pressed, the main button 115 triggers the main electronic unit through pressure (e.g., if the main electronic unit is a tactile switch) or other dimensional information (e.g., a change in magnetic field, corresponding to a Hall switch). The shape, size, and position of the main electronic unit are adapted to the shape, size, and position of the main button 115 to ensure that the main electronic unit can respond to the triggering of the main button 115. The main electronic unit is triggered and outputs a fifth control electrical signal. The controller communicates with the main electronic unit via wired or wireless means to convert the fifth control electrical signal output by the main electronic unit into a fifth control command to control the water propeller 1000. The fifth control command can be, but is not limited to, a power-on command, a power-off command, an acceleration command, a deceleration command, an up-tilt command, a down-tilt command, and a steering command. In this embodiment, the third control command corresponds to the power-on command, power-off command, up-tilt command, and down-tilt command. Therefore, the handle 13 can output the fifth control command through the main button 115 and the main electronic unit, thereby realizing the control of the water propulsion device 1000. The operator can directly control the water propulsion device 1000 through the handle structure 10, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement.
[0129] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first end 1101 is detachably connected to the grip rod 301 of the operating structure 30, and the main body 300 is connected to the operating structure 30.
[0130] In the above embodiment, the coupling between the first end 1101 and the main body 300 of the water propeller 1000 is as follows: the first end 1101 is connected to the main body 300 through the operating structure 30. Specifically, the operating structure 30 includes a grip rod 301, and the connection between the first end 1101 and the grip rod 301 is detachable. When the operator uses the operating device 100 to control the water propeller 1000, the operator connects the first end 1101 to the grip rod 301 to control the main body 300 by operating the handle structure 10, thereby enabling the water propeller 1000 to tilt upwards, tilt downwards, accelerate, decelerate, turn left, or turn right, etc. When the operator has finished using the water propeller 1000, the operator disconnects the first end 1101 from the grip rod 301 to remove the handle structure 10 from the operating structure 30 for easy storage of the operating device 100. Therefore, the detachable connection between the first end 1101 and the grip rod 301 makes the operation of the water propeller 1000 more flexible for the operator, and the overall size of the operating device 100 is reduced, making it easier to transport and store the operating device 100 and improving the operator's user experience of the water propeller 1000.
[0131] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, one of the grip rod 301 and the rod body 11 is provided with a buckle hole 116, and the other is provided with a buckle 117. The buckle 117 cooperates with the buckle hole 116 to prevent the rod body 11 from being removed from the grip rod 301.
[0132] Specifically, the snap fastener 117 is a structure protruding from the surface of the structure in which the snap fastener 117 is provided, and the snap hole 116 is a through hole formed in the surface of the structure in which the snap hole 116 is provided. The shape and size of the snap hole 116 are adapted to the shape and size of the snap fastener 117, and at least a portion of the snap fastener 117 can extend into the snap hole 116, so that the two can selectively engage with each other, thereby fixing the structures in which they are located. In some embodiments, the gripping rod 301 is provided with the snap hole 116, and the rod body 11 is provided with the snap fastener 117. In other embodiments, the rod body 11 is provided with the snap hole 116, and the gripping rod 301 is provided with the snap fastener 117. This application illustrates that the rod body 11 is provided with the snap hole 116, and the gripping rod 301 is provided with the snap fastener 117.
[0133] Please refer to Figure 9The first figure shows the grip rod 301, the second figure shows at least a portion of the structure of the rod body 11 with a buckle 117, and the third figure shows the buckle hole 116 and the buckle 117 engaging with each other, i.e., the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 cooperate with each other. When the buckle 117 and the buckle hole 116 are engaged, the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 are fixedly connected, and the rod body 11 cannot be disassembled from the grip rod 301. Therefore, by providing the buckle hole 116 and the buckle 117 on the grip rod 301 and the rod body 11 respectively, a fixed connection between the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 is achieved. The connection stability between the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 is good, so the process of the operator controlling the operating device 100 through the grip structure 10 is more stable, and the service life of the operating device 100 is longer.
[0134] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, when the grip rod 301 is provided with a buckle 117, the grip rod 301 includes a pressing part 118, which is coupled to the buckle 117 to drive the buckle 117 out of the buckle hole 116; when the rod body 11 is provided with a buckle 117, the rod body 11 includes a pressing part 118, which is coupled to the buckle 117 to drive the buckle 117 out of the buckle hole 116.
[0135] Specifically, the pressing part 118 is a structure used to control the extension length of the latch 117 relative to the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11. The pressing part 118 is coupled to the latch 117, and the connection between the pressing part 118 and the latch 117 can be detachable or non-detachable. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of screw connections and snap-fit connections. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of gluing, welding, and sintering methods. This definition will be used for detachable and non-detachable connections in the future. When the pressing part 118 is pressed, the extension length of the latch 117 relative to the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11 decreases.
[0136] At this time, with the latch 117 mounted on the grip lever 301, the pressing part 118 is also mounted on the grip lever 301. When the operator presses the pressing part 118, the pressing part 118 moves the latch 117, causing the latch 117 to disengage from the latch hole 116. With the latch 117 mounted on the lever body 11, the pressing part 118 is also mounted on the lever body 11. When the operator presses the pressing part 118, the pressing part 118 moves the latch 117, causing the latch 117 to disengage from the latch hole 116. Therefore, the user can press the pressing part 118 to disengage the buckle 117 from the buckle hole 116, thereby disconnecting the rod body 11 from the grip rod 301. Thus, the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 are detachable, making the operation of the water propeller 1000 more flexible for the operator. In addition, the overall size of the operating device 100 is reduced, making it easier to transport and store the operating device 100 and improving the user experience of the water propeller 1000.
[0137] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the grip structure 10 further includes an elastic element connected to the snap fastener 117, the elastic element being configured to provide an elastic force to the snap fastener 117 for engaging and resetting the snap fastener 117 with the snap hole 116.
[0138] Specifically, the elastic element provides an elastic restoring force for the movement of the latch 117 relative to the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11. The elastic element can be, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more springs, leaf springs, and rubber elastic elements. When the elastic element is a spring, it has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. When the elastic element is a leaf spring, it has the advantage of high load-bearing capacity. When the elastic element is a rubber elastic element, it has the advantages of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. One end of the elastic element is connected to the latch 117, and the other end is connected to the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11. The connection between the elastic element and the latch 117 can be an abutment connection or a fixed connection. When the elastic element is fixedly connected to the latch 117, the connection method can be either a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection. The connection between the elastic element and the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11 can be either abutting or fixed. When the elastic element is fixedly connected to the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11, the connection method between the elastic element and the gripping rod 301 and / or the rod body 11 can be either detachable or non-detachable.
[0139] When the pressing part 118 is released, the elastic element provides an elastic restoring force to the latch 117, allowing the latch 117 to move away from the moving grip rod 301 and / or the rod body 11. At this time, the elastic force causes the latch 117 to reset and re-engage with the latch hole 116. Therefore, the elastic restoring force provided by the elastic element to the latch 117 allows the latch 117 to repeatedly engage with the latch hole 116. During this time, the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 can be repeatedly decoupled and reconnected by the pressing part 118, and can also be repeatedly fixed by the elastic element. The detachable connection process between the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 is relatively simple and can be performed multiple times, making the operation of the water propeller 1000 more flexible for the operator. Furthermore, the overall size of the operating device 100 is reduced, facilitating the transportation and storage of the operating device 100 and improving the user experience of the water propeller 1000.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the grip rod 301 is provided with a first magnetic member 3011 and a second magnetic member 119 is provided at the first end 1101. The first magnetic member 3011 and the second magnetic member 119 generate an attraction force, which is used to detachably connect the first end 1101 to the grip rod 301 of the operating structure 30.
[0141] Specifically, a first magnetic attractor 3011 is disposed on the grip rod 301 and forms a magnetic field within a certain area around it. The first magnetic attractor 3011 may be, but is not limited to, made of metallic magnetic material or rare-earth magnetic material. The shape of the first magnetic attractor 3011 may be, but is not limited to, a cube, a cylinder, or a sphere. A second magnetic attractor 119 is disposed on the first end 1101 and forms a magnetic field within a certain area around it. The second magnetic attractor 119 may be, but is not limited to, made of metallic magnetic material or rare-earth magnetic material. The shape of the second magnetic attractor 119 may be, but is not limited to, a cube, a cylinder, or a sphere.
[0142] The magnetic field generated by the first magnetic chuck 3011 and the magnetic field generated by the second magnetic chuck 119 cooperate with each other. Specifically, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic chuck 3011 and the second magnetic chuck 119 facing each other are opposite magnetic poles. This can be either the first magnetic chuck 3011 facing the second magnetic chuck 119 being the N pole and the second magnetic chuck 119 facing the first magnetic chuck 3011 being the S pole, or the first magnetic chuck 3011 facing the second magnetic chuck 119 being the S pole and the second magnetic chuck 119 facing the first magnetic chuck 3011 being the N pole. At this time, the first magnetic chuck 3011 and the second magnetic chuck 119 attract each other through attraction, causing the first end 1101 to tend to engage with the grip rod 301.
[0143] Please refer to Figure 10The first image shows the grip rod 301, the second image shows at least a portion of the structure of the rod body 11 equipped with the second magnetic member 119, and the third image shows the interaction between the first magnetic member 3011 and the second magnetic member 119, i.e., the rod body 11 and the grip rod 301 interact. When the first end 1101 is engaged with the grip rod 301, the first magnetic member 3011 and the second magnetic member 119 are attracted together, thus fixing the first end 1101 to the grip rod 301. When the operator disengages the first end 1101 from the grip rod 301 using external force, the first magnetic member 3011 and the second magnetic member 119 separate. Therefore, the first magnetic 3011 and the second magnetic 119 can detachably connect the rod 11 and the grip rod 301 through attraction. The detachable connection process between the rod 11 and the grip rod 301 is relatively simple, making the operation of the water propeller 1000 more flexible for the operator. In addition, the overall size of the operating device 100 is reduced, making it easier to transport and store the operating device 100 and improving the user experience of the water propeller 1000.
[0144] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 ,and Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the relative positions of the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11 are fixed. Specifically, the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11 can be detachably connected or non-detachably connected, and the connection between the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11 is fixed. In this case, the grip structure 10 has good structural stability and high structural strength. During the operation of the grip structure 10, the grip structure 10 can withstand greater forces, thus extending its service life.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the handle 13 is provided with two main grips 131 and two connecting rods 132, with the two main grips 131 rotatably mounted on the two connecting rods 132 respectively. The handle structure 10 has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the two connecting rods 132 are located on both sides of the rod body 11 respectively; in the retracted state, the two connecting rods 132 are respectively attached to both sides of the rod body 11 or at least partially accommodated within the rod body 11.
[0146] Specifically, in the above embodiment, there are two main grips 131 and two connecting rods 132, and each main grip 131 corresponds to one connecting rod 132. Both main grips 131 are rotatably connected to their corresponding connecting rods 132. Based on the relative positional relationship between each set of main grips 131, connecting rods 132, and rod body 11, the grip structure 10 includes an unfolded state and a retracted state.
[0147] When the grip structure 10 is in the extended state, the two connecting rods 132 and the corresponding main grips 131 are located on both sides of the rod body 11, as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the lower figure, the operator can use the first posture to hold one of the main handles 131 on one side of the hand to realize the operation function of the operating device 100, or use the second posture to hold the rod 11 with one hand to realize the operation function of the operating device 100.
[0148] When the handle structure 10 is in its retracted state, in some examples, the two connecting rods 132 and their corresponding main grips 131 are respectively attached to both sides of the rod body 11. At this time, the connecting rods 132 and the main grips 131 are close to the rod body 11, reducing the space occupied by the handle structure 10. The operator can store the handle structure 10 in a smaller container, resulting in good miniaturization and portability. At the same time, the rod body 11 is a solid structure, which has better structural strength, allowing the handle structure 10 to withstand greater forces.
[0149] In other examples, at least a portion of the two links 132 and the corresponding main grip 131 are respectively housed within the rod body 11, in which case the links 132 and the main grip 131 are retracted into the rod body 11, such as... Figure 7 As shown in the upper middle figure, the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 are partially retracted into the rod body 11, while partially protruding from the surface of the rod body 11. Of course, the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 can both be completely housed inside the rod body 11. In this case, the space occupied by the grip structure 10 is further reduced, and the operator can store the grip structure 10 in a smaller container, resulting in better miniaturization and portability of the grip structure 10.
[0150] In summary, with the linkage 132 and main grip 131 able to retract relative to the rod 11 to reduce the space occupied by the grip structure 10, the grip structure 10 is more flexible in structure, and the operator can store the grip structure 10 for easy transportation and storage. The grip structure 10 has a better degree of miniaturization and portability, and the operator has a better user experience with the grip structure 10.
[0151] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, both links 132 are rotatably connected to the rod body 11 and are held in extreme positions by damping force provided by a damping element. The extreme positions are the farthest positions of the links 132 from the rod body 11 when the handle structure 10 is in the extended state.
[0152] In the above embodiment, when the handle structure 10 is in the extended state, the extreme positions of the two connecting rods 132 and the corresponding main grip 131 on both sides of the rod body 11 are: the target positions of the connecting rods 132 and the main grip 131 when the operator uses the handle structure 10. Specifically, the extreme positions are the furthest positions of the connecting rods 132 from the rod body 11 when the handle structure 10 is in the extended state. When the connecting rods 132 and the main grip 131 are in their extreme positions, the connecting rods 132 and the main grip 131 will not continue to rotate relative to the rod body 11 in the extended direction, and the structural stability of the handle structure 10 is good at this time.
[0153] To keep the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 in their extreme positions without any change in position, and to ensure the stability of the mechanical connection between the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 and the rod body 11, as well as their electrical connection with other components, a damping element (not shown) is provided between the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11. The damping element is a structure that provides damping force to keep the relative position of the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11 constant. The damping force provided by the damping element is greater than the force required to cause a change in the relative position of the grip 13 relative to the rod body 100 when the aforementioned control command is input during operation of the grip structure 10. In other words, the damping force provided by the damping element can keep both connecting rods 132 stationary in their extreme positions when the grip structure 10 is used to operate the water propeller 1000. Therefore, the grip structure 10 uses a damping element to keep the two connecting rods 132 in their extreme positions relative to the rod body 11. At this time, the grip structure 10 has good structural stability. During the operation of the grip structure 10, the grip 13 (connecting rod 132) can withstand a certain amount of force. Therefore, the operation of the grip structure 10 can be carried out stably, and the operator's operation of the grip structure 10 is accurate.
[0154] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, both links 132 are rotatably connected to the rod body 11 and locked in an extreme position by a rigid fastener. The extreme position is the farthest position of the link 132 from the rod body 11 when the handle structure 10 is in the extended state.
[0155] Specifically, in the above embodiments, the extreme positions are explained in the same way as in the previous embodiments, and will not be repeated here. To keep the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 in their extreme positions without any positional change, and to ensure that the mechanical connection between the connecting rod 132 and the main grip 131 and the rod body 11, as well as their electrical connection with other components, remains stable, a rigid fixing member (not shown) is provided between the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11. The rigid fixing member locks the connecting rod 132 and the rod body 11 through a locking or plugging connection, thereby fixing their relative positions.
[0156] The connecting rod 132 and / or the rod body 11 are provided with a structure that cooperates with a rigid fixing member. The binding force provided by the rigid fixing member is greater than the force required to cause a relative positional change between the handle 13 and the rod body 100 during the operation of the grip structure 10 and input of the aforementioned control command. In other words, the resistance provided by the rigid fixing member keeps both connecting rods 132 stationary at their limit positions when the water propeller 1000 is operated via the grip structure 10. Therefore, the grip structure 10, through the rigid fixing member, keeps the two connecting rods 132 at their limit positions relative to the rod body 11. This results in good structural stability of the grip structure 10. During the operation of the grip structure 10, the handle 13 (connecting rod 132) can withstand a certain intensity of force, thus ensuring stable operation and good accuracy.
[0157] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. At the same time, other implementation methods can be derived from the above embodiments, so that structural and logical substitutions and changes can be made without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
[0158] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
