Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a hydraulic steering system for marine motors.
  • small craft such as motor boats, rubber dinghies and small pleasure craft, generally use one or more outboard or inboard marine motors with power that can range from 40 to 300 horsepower depending upon the type of boat.
  • This type of marine motor is generally mounted in the transom of the boat so as to be able to rotate around a horizontal axis to adjust the tilt of the stem of the motor and around a vertical axis to adjust steering of the boat.
  • a steering system comprising a hydraulic cylinder mounted slidably on a shaft disposed in the transom transversally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the craft.
  • a lever connected integrally to the front part of the motor casing is constrained to said hydraulic cylinder. Translation of the hydraulic cylinder thus causes a rotation of the motor.
  • Two oil supply hoses connected to an oil tank in which an oil pump is provided are mounted at the two ends of the moveable cylinder.
  • the oil pump is controlled by the steering of the boat. In this manner, according to the steering given, the oil is fed into one end or the other of the cylinder. As a result the cylinder translates in one direction or the other on the transverse shaft, causing the front lever of the motor and thus also the motor to rotate around its vertical axis of pivoting.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, providing a steering system for a marine motor that is reliable, practical, versatile, inexpensive and simple to produce.
  • the hydraulic steering system for marine motors comprises:
  • the main characteristic of the invention is represented by the fact that ducts that feed oil respectively into said two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder are formed inside said supporting shaft.
  • the flexible oil supply hoses connected to the oil pump, can be put into communication with the ducts formed inside the shaft to feed the chambers of the hydraulic cylinder. Since the shaft of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed, the flexible hoses do not undergo any bending during translation of the hydraulic cylinder. As a result, a greater reliability of steering is achieved and deterioration of the flexible oil supply hoses is avoided.
  • the steering system 1 comprises two side supporting brackets 2, shaped substantially as an upturned Z, which support the two ends of a rod 3 designed to be supported by a motor assembly 6 and the two ends of a shaft 4 supporting a hydraulic cylinder 5.
  • the rod 3 and the shaft 4 are disposed parallel to each other so as to form with the side mounting brackets 2 a substantially trapezoid configuration which is mounted integrally in the transom of the boat.
  • the rod 3 and the shaft 4 are disposed transversally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the boat, in which the rod 3 is shorter in length than the shaft 4 and is disposed forward with respect thereto.
  • the rod 3 has on its side surface, near its ends, outer threads 30 engaged by nuts 31 for fixing of side mounting brackets 2.
  • the shaft 4 on the other hand, has at its ends inner threads, disposed axially, engaged by bolts 41 for fixing to the side mounting brackets 2.
  • the motor assembly 6 is fixed to the transom of the boat and comprises a supporting flange 60 in which a marine motor 61 is pivoted so as to be able to rotate around a substantially vertical axis.
  • the flange 60 has at the front two protrusions 62 provided with coaxial through holes 63 able to receive the rod 3. In this manner the flange 60 can rotate around a horizontal transverse axis defined by the rod 3 and the motor 61 can rotate around a vertical axis defined by the vertical pivot of the motor 61 with respect to the flange 60.
  • the motor 61 has at the front a bar 64 constrained to the casing of the motor.
  • a through hole 65 is formed at the end of the front bar of the motor.
  • an articulated system 7 which provides a flange 70 that is constrained to the front bar 64 of the motor by means of a bolt 71 which engages in the hole 65 of the front bar 64. In this manner, translation of the hydraulic cylinder 5 on the shaft 4 leads to application of a force on the front bar 64 of the motor and thus a rotation of the motor 61.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 5 is hollow on the inside and has a cylindrical axial chamber 50 open on both ends. Near the ends, in the axial chamber 50 of the cylinder 5, inner threads 51 designed to engage tightly with outer threads 53 formed in respective side closing bushes 54 of the hydraulic cylinder 5 are formed.
  • Each bush 54 has an axial through hole 55 in which is provided a cylindrical gasket 56 which allows slidable tight coupling with the outside lateral surface of the shaft 4.
  • the shaft 4 has, in a central position, a piston 40 with a larger diameter that provides in its side surface gaskets 40' which allow a sliding watertight coupling with the inner side surface of the cylinder 5.
  • a first axial duct 42 which extends to the left with respect to the piston 40 and a second axial duct 44 with extends to the right with respect to the to the piston 40 are formed in the shaft 4.
  • the first and second ducts 42 and 44 of the shaft 4 extend to the ends of the shaft 4 and are tightly closed by end bolts 41.
  • the first and second ducts 42 and 44 of the shaft 4 end with respective radial ducts 43, 45 opening respectively into the first chamber 57 and into the second chamber 58, near the piston 40.
  • first L-shaped (to the left) connector 46 communicating with the first axial duct 42 of the shaft 4 and a second L-shaped (to the right) connector 49 communicating with the second axial duct 44 of the shaft 4 are provided.
  • the first L-shaped connector 46 is connected, by means of another L-shaped connector 47 to a first flexible oil supply hose 48 which extends to the left (with reference to Figure 2) to connect to the oil pump.
  • the second L-shaped connector 49 is connected, by means of a double L-shaped connector 32, to an axial duct 34 formed in the transverse rod 3.
  • the axial duct 34 extends for the whole length of the transverse rod 3 so as to communicate with a second flexible oil supply hose 33 which extends to the left (with reference to Figure 2) to connect with the oil pump.
  • a duct 147 communicating with the first duct 42 of the shaft 4 is formed in the left-hand bracket 2 and a duct 132 which puts the second duct 44 of the shaft 4 into communication with the duct 34 of the rod 3 is formed in the right-hand bracket 2.
  • a first connector 148 communicating with the duct 147 of the bracket to receive the oil supply hose 48 and a second connector 133 communicating with the duct 34 of the rod 3 to receive the oil supply hose 33 are provided in the outer side of the left-hand bracket 2.
  • a duct 232 communicating only with the second duct 44 of the shaft 4 is formed in the right-hand bracket 2.
  • a connector 233 communicating with the duct 232 and designed to receive the oil supply hose 33 is provided in the outer side wall of the right-hand bracket 2.
  • a front supply can be provided, in which the oil supply hoses 48, 33 supply the steering system 1 frontally from one side and from the other.
  • two ducts 147 and 232 communicating respectively with the ducts 42 and 44 of the shaft 4 can be provided in the brackets 2.
  • connectors 348 and 333 communicating with the ducts 147 and 232 to receive frontally the oil supply hoses 48 and 33 are provided in the front part of the brackets 2.
  • Two upward protruding blocks 72 are formed on the lateral surface of the cylinder 5 near the ends.
  • the blocks 72 have respective coaxial holes 73 disposed along the horizontal axis parallel to the axis of the cylinder 5.
  • Respective flanges 75 are fixed integrally to the blocks 72 by means of pins 74 placed in the holes 73.
  • An arm 77 is pivoted to the other end of each side flange by means of a pin 76 with a vertical axis.
  • the other ends of the two arms 77 are pivoted, by means of respective pins with a vertical axis 78, to the central flange 70.
  • the arms 77 behave as connecting rods and can rotate around the vertical pins 76 and 78 disposed at their ends.
  • the central flange 70 is pivoted, by means of the central pin 71 with a vertical axis, to the front bar 64 of the motor.
  • the pin 71 of the front bar of the motor is disposed in a central position and the two pins 78 of the two arms 77 are disposed in diametrically opposite directions with respect to the axis of the central pin 71.
  • the central flange 70 can perform a movement in an arc of a circle on a horizontal plane thanks to the constraints of the vertical pins 76 and 78, without requiring any rotation of the cylinder 5. Consequently, this configuration of the articulated system 7 allows a rotation of the motor 61 following translation of the cylinder 5 on the shaft 4, avoiding any rotation of the cylinder 5 around the shaft 4.
