Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for presetting the gear stage of an engine of a boat, preferably a remote throttle for prescribing the gear stage of a built-in sailboat electric motor.
  • a remote gas device in which a distance from the controlled boat drive arranged ride lever is provided, by means of which then the speed of the electric motor can be controlled.
  • the remote throttle is located at a control station of the boat, so that it can be easily operated by a driver, while the driver also operates the steering wheel.
  • a remote gas device is used in particular when the engine is installed inaccessible in the boat - for example, if it is provided as a built-in motor with shaft drive, as a built-in motor with Z drive, Saildrive or pod drive.
  • a remote gas device can also be used to control a Popebormotors.
  • such a remote gas device is usually arranged either on a control column of the steering wheel or on a wall - typically a side wall or a floor area of the cockpit.
  • An arrangement of the remote gas device in the cockpit is especially to be found when the sailboat has a tiller steering and accordingly no control column is provided.
  • a boat drive and multiple remote gas devices may be provided which are arranged in different positions on the boat - for example, at two different control states.
  • remote gas devices for predetermining the gear stage of an electric motor of a boat which have a base plate connectable to a wall of the boat, on which a about a pivot axis with respect to the base plate pivotable drive lever is provided.
  • the drive lever acts on a motion sensor - for example in the form of a sensor - by means of which the power electronics of the electric motor can be controlled, in order to implement the drive level desired by the operator.
  • the drive lever In order to be able to specify the speed of the electric motor and thus control the travel of the boat, the lever can be operated by the respective operator.
  • the drive lever usually has a shaft portion and a spaced from the axis of rotation handle part on which the operator usually takes the drive lever with his hand.
  • the handle has in this case to the side wall at a distance which is large enough to allow the operator to fully enclose the handle with his hand and thus a secure and firm grip is possible. Due to the known geometric design of the drive lever, it may happen that get tangled on the drive lever rope and especially pods, mooring lines, or other ropes, which are necessary for guiding the boat, or even fishing lines and / or that moving on the boat People with clothing and / or limbs get caught on the throttle. The known drive levers continue to increase, especially if they are located in a near-ground or knee-near area, the risk of injury to the person moving on the boat people.
  • a device for specifying the gear stage of an engine of a boat preferably a sailboat proposed, comprising a connectable to a side wall of the boat base plate and arranged on the base plate and pivotable about a pivot axis travel lever coupled to a motion sensor for driving the motor is.
  • the drive lever forms a substantially closed contour with a plane formed by the base plate.
  • the drive lever forms a substantially closed contour with a plane formed by the base plate, can be prevented that rope and in particular pods, mooring lines, or other ropes that are necessary for guiding the boat, or fishing lines on the drive lever get tangled up or the people moving on the boat with clothes or limbs hanging on the lever.
  • the device is characterized particularly compact, so that it can be arranged even in the reduced, available space in a cockpit of a smaller sailboat or a fishing boat or generally in smaller boats, without the guiding of the boat is adversely affected.
  • the substantially closed contour of the drive lever with the plane formed by the base plate complete enclosure of a part of the drive lever and in particular a surrounding a grip portion of the drive lever by the Hand of the operator is no longer possible. At least in the base plate facing the part of the drive lever can no longer be grasped by the hand of the operator.
  • the haptic and the handling of the operation of the proposed drive lever differs significantly from the feel and handling of conventional drive lever, which can be perceived by the operator as unfamiliar.
  • the perceived disadvantages are more than offset by the improved safety of the proposed device. This is especially the case when - as in a sailboat or a fishing boat - the engine is rarely used and the vast majority remains off. It is here that the beneficial effects of preventing entanglement or entanglement of pods and other ropes during sailing of tangling fishing lines are particularly prominent.
  • the device is preferably designed such that it can be arranged on a lateral side wall of the boat.
  • the drive lever can be moved and positioned in a range that is limited by the zero position and a maximum position in which the electric drive is operated in its maximum gear.
  • the drive lever is preferably coupled to a motion sensor for controlling the power electronics of an electric motor when the engine of the boat is in the form of an electric motor.
  • the drive lever is preferably coupled to a motion sensor for controlling an electronic or mechanical carburetor control or injection control when the engine of the boat is designed in the form of an internal combustion engine.
  • the speed can be realized via a preset by means of the throttle lever speed specification, so that upon reaching the predetermined maximum speed in the maximum gear, the rated power of the engine, such as the electric motor, is retrieved. If, however, by a non-optimal design of the drive system - for example, by a propeller with too high pitch - a system predetermined maximum torque of the electric motor achieved before the predetermined by means of the drive lever maximum speed is reached, the rated power is not reached in the predetermined by the drive lever maximum driving position. In such a case, the speed is then specified by the system-dictated maximum torque. A maximum torque of the electric motor is usually specified in the system to prevent thermal overload of the engine and thus damage to the engine.
  • the driving gear can also be realized via a predetermined by means of the drive lever power setting or torque specification.
  • the drive lever extends radially in relation to the pivot axis substantially in the region of the base plate.
  • the travel lever and the base plate form only a small axial gap with respect to the pivot axis, tangling or entanglement of ropes or pods can be prevented with particular certainty.
  • the gap is kept smaller than the diameter of the thinnest rope used on board the boat, and preferably has a gap width of 0.1 mm to 5 mm, preferably 1 mm to 2 mm.
  • an area of the drive lever, for example a handle part, in each position of the drive lever directly adjoins the base plate such that only a marginal gap is formed.
  • the gap is completely closed by a bridging element.
  • the bridging element may be, for example, a low-friction element, for example made of a Teflon material, which is prestressed in the gap closing direction.
  • the bridging element may also be an elastomeric element. A complete closing of the gap is particularly advantageous in fishing boats.
  • the gap between the base plate and the drive lever is formed and is substantially constant over the entire pivoting range of the drive lever.
  • the substantially closed contour is achieved not only in the neutral position or the zero position of the device, but also in all other pivotal positions of the drive lever.
  • This can be a catching of rope are prevented even when the electric motor is running and especially in the time-critical maneuvering, for example, in the port a snagging and tangling rope are avoided, so that the safety of the boat can be further increased.
  • the drive lever and the outer surface of the base part also form a radial gap.
  • the gap has a size of 1 mm to 50 mm, preferably 5 mm to 20 mm.
  • a rotatably fixed to the base plate base member wherein the drive lever is arranged on the base part and is pivotable relative to the base part about the pivot axis.
  • the base part is particularly preferably substantially cylindrical in order to further reduce hooking of rope due to the absence of undercuts.
  • the drive lever has in the region of the base part in a particularly preferred embodiment, an at least partially conical cover member, which forms a closed contour together with the base part and the drive lever.
  • the drive lever has a locking device for locking the drive lever in a specific position, preferably in a neutral position or neutral position, in which the motor is not supplied with power. This ensures that the drive lever is not accidentally moved out of the zero position and the motor accordingly unintentionally exerts accelerations on the boat or runs unnoticed and so unnoticed the charge state of a battery supplying the electric motor unnoticed and / or unintentionally or fuel is consumed unnoticed.
  • an actuating button for unlocking the locking on a side facing away from the base plate side of the drive lever is arranged and the actuating button is particularly preferably in the direction the pivot axis operable.
  • a trim-tilt switch for adjusting the position of the motor relative to a horizontal pivot axis of the motor is arranged on the drive lever.
  • the position of the drive can be adjusted according to the position of the boat in the water, so that a Propreller or its axis of rotation is positioned substantially horizontally in the water.
  • the thrust generated by the drive unit of the engine then contributes substantially fully to the acceleration of the boat in the direction of travel.
  • the trim-tilt switch the engine, preferably at Non-use or standstill of the boat to be lifted out of the water to either reduce driving resistance in sailing or to prevent the growth of fouling at a standstill.
  • the trim tilt switch can be designed in the form of a membrane keyboard.
  • the structure of the device is then also particularly compact, since the membrane keypad builds only slightly, preferably 0.5 mm to 5 mm, preferably 1 mm to 2 mm based on a base surface on which the trim-tilt switch is arranged.
