“Dispositivo di comando per attuatori di correttori di assetto per imbarcazioni†⠀ œControl device for trim tab actuators for boatsâ €
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
La presente invenzione riguarda un dispositivo di comando per attuatori elettromeccanici. The present invention relates to a control device for electromechanical actuators.
In particolare, la presente invenzione si riferisce ad un dispositivo di comando per attuatori elettromeccanici, ad esempio nel campo nautico ed, in particolare, per correttori d’assetto per imbarcazioni da diporto. In particular, the present invention refers to a control device for electromechanical actuators, for example in the nautical field and, in particular, for trim tabs for pleasure boats.
Sono noti dispositivi di comando per tali tipi di attuatori che utilizzano tastiere e pulsanti per azionare i correttori di assetto delle imbarcazioni da diporto. Tali correttori sono generalmente posizionati a poppa, talvolta sotto la carena, dell’ imbarcazione e sono realizzati tramite alettoni solitamente costituiti da piastre in materiale metallico e da un cilindro azionatore, idraulico o elettromeccanico, il quale determina il cambio di inclinazione dell’alettone rispetto alla superficie ideale piatta dell’acqua; dette piastre sono vincolate alla carena dell’imbarcazione tramite una cerniera. Control devices are known for these types of actuators which use keyboards and buttons to actuate the trim tabs of pleasure boats. These correctors are generally positioned at the stern, sometimes under the hull, of the boat and are made by means of ailerons usually consisting of metal plates and an actuator cylinder, hydraulic or electromechanical, which determines the change of inclination of the aileron compared to the ideal flat surface of the water; these plates are fixed to the boat hull by means of a hinge.
Tali alettoni sono, talvolta, anche dotati di sensori in grado di rilevare istante per istante l’angolazione della piastra in modo da poter controllare l’assetto in modo più efficace. These ailerons are sometimes also equipped with sensors capable of detecting the angle of the plate instant by instant in order to be able to control the attitude more effectively.
La presente invenzione si propone di realizzare un dispositivo di comando efficace per tal tipi di attuatori di correttori di assetto per imbarcazioni in grado di determinare, in modo semplice, rapido ed efficace, i movimenti che si vogliono realizzare sull’imbarcazione. Un tale tipo di effetto lo si può ottenere tramite un dispositivo a joystick che permetta di muovere manualmente la leva del joystick stesso riproducendo lo stesso movimento che si vuole far effettuare all’imbarcazione. The present invention proposes to provide an effective control device for such types of trim tab actuators for boats capable of determining, in a simple, rapid and effective way, the movements to be carried out on the boat. This type of effect can be obtained by means of a joystick device that allows you to manually move the joystick lever by reproducing the same movement you want the boat to perform.
Forma oggetto della presente invenzione un dispositivo di comando per attuatori di correttori di assetto per imbarcazioni avente le caratteristiche della allegata rivendicazione 1. The present invention relates to a control device for trim tab actuators for boats having the characteristics of the attached claim 1.
Le caratteristiche ed i vantaggi del dispositivo secondo la presente invenzione risulteranno maggiormente evidenti dalla descrizione seguente di una sua tipica realizzazione, esemplificativa ma non limitativa, riferita alle allegate figure che illustrano in particolare: The characteristics and advantages of the device according to the present invention will become more evident from the following description of a typical embodiment thereof, exemplifying but not limiting, referring to the attached figures which illustrate in particular:
• la figura 1 il dispositivo di comando secondo la presente invenzione in vista prospettica; figure 1 the control device according to the present invention in perspective view;
• la figura 2 il dispositivo di comando ed il complesso degli elementi del correttore di assetto secondo la presente invenzione; - figure 2 the control device and the assembly of the elements of the trim tab according to the present invention;
• le figure 3a, 3b, 3c e 3d illustrano le quattro posizioni del joystick in relazione ad altrettanti condizioni del correttore di assetto. â € ¢ Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d illustrate the four positions of the joystick in relation to as many conditions of the trim tab.
Con riferimento alle citate figure un correttore di assetto per imbarcazione à ̈ posizionato a poppa della medesima ed à ̈ realizzato tramite una coppia di alettoni uno per ciascun lato dell’imbarcazione B. With reference to the aforementioned figures, a trim tab for a boat is positioned aft of the boat and is made by means of a pair of ailerons, one for each side of the boat B.
Essi sono normalmente realizzati tramite piastre o pale 2 in materiali metallico e comprendono un attuatore di comando 3, ad esempio un cilindro idraulico o elettromeccanico, che determina il cambio di inclinazione dell’alettone rispetto alla superficie ideale piatta dell’acqua. A tal fine, dette piastre sono vincolate alla carena dell’imbarcazione tramite una cerniera 21. They are normally made by means of plates or blades 2 of metallic materials and comprise a control actuator 3, for example a hydraulic or electromechanical cylinder, which determines the change of inclination of the aileron with respect to the ideal flat surface of the water. To this end, said plates are fixed to the boat hull by means of a hinge 21.
Il dispositivo di comando à ̈ atto a comandare il movimento degli attuatori ed a determinare le varie condizioni del correttore. The control device is able to control the movement of the actuators and to determine the various conditions of the corrector.
Il dispositivo di comando comprende un corpo contenitore 4 al cui interno sono inseriti gli interruttori ed il circuito di comando. Sulla sommità di esso à ̈ presente un joystick 41 o maniglia di azionamento del dispositivo posta al centro di una circonferenza 42 che presenta indicazioni grafiche 43 delle varie condizioni del correttore di assetto dell’imbarcazione. The control device comprises a container body 4 inside which the switches and the control circuit are inserted. On the top of it there is a joystick 41 or handle for operating the device placed in the center of a circumference 42 which presents graphic indications 43 of the various conditions of the trim tab of the boat.
Il joystick con il suo movimento comanda tali attuatori in modo da determinare il posizionamento delle pale a raggiungere condizioni predeterminate del correttore di assetto. The joystick with its movement controls these actuators so as to determine the positioning of the blades to reach predetermined conditions of the trim tab.
Nelle figure 3a-3d sono indicate altrettante condizioni del correttore di assetto. In particolare, in figura 3a, si illustra la condizione del correttore che consente di abbassare la prua dell’imbarcazione con gli attuatori completamente o parzialmente aperti che abbassano le pale. In figura 3b, si illustra la condizione che consente di correggere uno sbandamento a destra dell’imbarcazione alzando la pala destra nel caso fosse abbassata ed abbassando quella sinistra. In figura 3c, si illustra la condizione che consente di correggere uno sbandamento a sinistra dell'imbarcazione, alzando la pala sinistra nel caso fosse abbassata ed abbassando quella destra. In figura 3d, si illustra la condizione che consente di alzare completamente le pale tramite gli attuatori quando l'assetto dell'imbarcazione non richiede correzioni oppure quando si à ̈ in manovra od all'attracco in banchina. Figures 3a-3d indicate as many conditions of the trim tab. In particular, figure 3a illustrates the condition of the corrector which allows the bow of the boat to be lowered with the actuators fully or partially open which lower the blades. Figure 3b illustrates the condition that allows you to correct a heel to the right of the boat by raising the right blade in case it was lowered and lowering the left one. Figure 3c illustrates the condition that allows you to correct a heel to the left of the boat, by raising the left blade in case it was lowered and lowering the right one. Figure 3d illustrates the condition that allows the blades to be fully raised by means of the actuators when the trim of the boat does not require corrections or when maneuvering or docking on the quay.
Ad ognuna delle condizioni sopraccitate corrisponde un movimento predeterminato del joystick in modo da azionare un interruttore. In particolare, per raggiungere la condizione di pale sollevate, il joystick viene spostato indietro, per raggiungere la condizione di prua abbassata, il joystick viene spostato in avanti; per correggere lo sbandamento a destra, il joystick viene spostato verso sinistra ed, infine, per correggere lo sbandamento a sinistra, il joystick viene spostato verso destra. Each of the aforementioned conditions corresponds to a predetermined movement of the joystick in order to operate a switch. In particular, to reach the raised blade condition, the joystick is moved backwards, to reach the lowered bow condition, the joystick is moved forward; to correct the right heel, the joystick is moved to the left and, finally, to correct the left heel, the joystick is moved to the right.
Preferibilmente, lo spostamento del joystick verso ciascuna delle quattro direzioni, ortogonali tra loro, determina il comando corrispondente ad una delle quattro condizioni sopracitate tramite l’azionamento di almeno uno di quattro interruttori. Vantaggiosamente, le direzioni ortogonali tra loro, fanno riferimento ad un quadrante orario, rispettivamente avanti - ore 12, indietro -ore 6, destra - ore 3 e sinistra ore 9. Preferably, the movement of the joystick towards each of the four directions, orthogonal to each other, determines the command corresponding to one of the four conditions mentioned above through the actuation of at least one of four switches. Advantageously, the orthogonal directions to each other refer to an hour dial, respectively forward - 12 o'clock, backward - 6 o'clock, right - 3 o'clock and left 9 o'clock.
Nel circuito di comando gli interruttori possono essere posizionati in modo da sfruttare l’inversione di polarità di una tensione continua per invertire la rotazione di motori in corrente continua e di conseguenza il movimento degli attuatori. In modo analogo, possono essere realizzati altri circuiti equivalenti, che sfruttano principi differenti per realizzare la stessa funzione, In the control circuit, the switches can be positioned in such a way as to exploit the polarity inversion of a direct voltage to reverse the rotation of DC motors and consequently the movement of the actuators. Similarly, other equivalent circuits can be realized, which exploit different principles to achieve the same function,
