However, when the direction of the ship is simply adjusted by rotating the steering wheel, when the ship is close to the wharf or the weather is bad and the waves are severe, the ship is shaken severely and it is difficult for the user to control the steering device such as the steering wheel, There has been a problem in that the direction of the ship is excessively adjusted when the handle is operated by the user unintentionally by the waves, and is exposed to the danger of overturning.

Various automatic steering devices have been developed to solve the above problems.

As one of such automatic steering apparatuses, Patent No. 10-0429068 discloses a marine automatic steering and automatic control apparatus.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an automatic steering apparatus capable of adjusting the direction of a ship wirelessly according to an embodiment of the present invention. And FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of an automatic control motor in an automatic steering apparatus capable of adjusting the direction of a ship wirelessly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

An automatic steering apparatus capable of adjusting the direction of a ship wirelessly according to an embodiment of the present invention is capable of adjusting left and right directions of a ship using wireless communication and minimizing the lifetime of the steering apparatus, A steering wheel 300, a cylinder 400, an automatic control motor 500, an automatic control gear 600, and a control unit 700. The control unit 700 includes a controller 100, a helm pump gear 200, a handle 300,

The helm pump 100 is provided with a handle 300 to be described later and rotates together with the handle 300 by switching the handle 300 to the left and right to perform a function of operating the cylinder 400 described later.

The helm pump gear 200 is fixedly installed between the helm pump 100 and the handle 300 and is rotated together by turning the handle 300 in the left and right directions.

The helm pump gear 200 is provided to be engaged with the automatic control gear 600 described later.

The handle 300 is installed on the upper side of the helm pump 100 so that the handle 300 can be gripped by the user, thereby manually adjusting the direction of the ship.

As shown in the accompanying drawings, the cylinder 400 is provided with a piston which is operated by the helm pump 100 connected to the helm pump 100 by a hose and operated by the handle 300, (Not shown in the drawing) by the operation of the cylinder 400 connected to the outboard motor provided in the ship.

That is, when the handle 300 is rotated, the helm pump 100 is rotated in the direction in which the handle 300 is rotated, and the oil is supplied to the cylinder 400 according to the rotational direction of the helm pump 100, So that the navigation direction of the ship can be adjusted to the left and right as a result.

As shown in the accompanying drawings, the automatic control motor 500 is provided on the side of the helm pump 100 and is provided with a later-described automatic control gear 600 fixed thereto. The automatic control motor 500 includes a helm pump gear 200, And includes a rotating means 510 that functions to cause the gears 600 to be engaged with or spaced from each other.

The automatic control motor 500 rotates the automatic control gear 600 to transmit the rotational force to the helm pump gear 200 engaged with the automatic control gear 600 so that the handle 300 is rotated do.

That is, the navigation direction of the ship can be adjusted to the left and right according to the rotation of the handle 300.

Hereinafter, the rotating means 510 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6 attached hereto.

6 is a view illustrating an example in which an automatic control gear and a helm pump gear are spaced apart from each other in an automatic steering apparatus capable of adjusting a direction of a ship by radio according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The rotation means 510 functions to rotate the automatic control motor 500 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and has a function of interlocking or separating the helm pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 .

The rotation means 510 includes a fixed gear 512 on one side of the helm pump gear 200 and is installed to engage with the fixed gear 512 to rotate the rotary shaft 511 And a rotary gear 513 for rotating the automatic control motor 500 is provided.

At this time, a motor (not shown in the figure) for rotating the rotary gear 513 may be further provided.

6, when the rotary gear 513 is rotated, the fixed gear 512 engaged with the rotary gear 513 is rotated about the rotary shaft 511, whereby the automatic control motor 500 is rotated, .

The rotational force of the helm pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are separated from each other so that the rotational force of the handle 300 is not transmitted to the automatic control gear 600, Unnecessary use of the automatic control motor (500) is prevented and wear due to the meshing of the helm pump gear (200) and the automatic control gear (600) can be minimized.

The automatic control gear 600 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the automatic control motor 500 and is installed to be engaged with the helm pump gear 200.

The automatic control gear 600 rotates when the automatic control motor 500 is powered and transmits rotational force to the meshed helical pump gear 200 to rotate the helm pump gear 200, 100 and the handle 300 are simultaneously rotated to adjust the direction of the outboard motor.

In other words, when the navigation direction of the ship is to be automatically controlled, the direction of the outboard motor can be adjusted without manually manipulating the handle 300 by operating the automatic control motor 500, and as a result, the direction of the ship can be adjusted.

The control unit 700 controls the operation of the automatic control motor 500 and is capable of wireless communication with a separate remote control 800 through a bluetooth system and receives an operation signal from the remote control 800 And controls the operation of the automatic control motor 500.

In this case, the remote control 800 means a separate terminal interlocked with the control unit 700, and may be a wired terminal or a terminal capable of wireless communication.

That is, the control unit 700 is designed to operate in conjunction with an operating system of a remote control 800 such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook, a PMP, and a PC.

Here, Bluetooth refers to a wireless technology standard for exchanging information by connecting various devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, and notebooks. It is mainly used when a low power wireless connection is needed in a short distance of about 10m, but it may be designed to have a communication distance of 100m or less according to a design condition.

For example, it is possible to adjust the direction of the ship by wireless communication (bluetooth) by operating a separate remote control 800 without directly controlling the handle on the ship.

Bluetooth wireless systems use the Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band of 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. In order to prevent the interference of other systems that use the upper and lower frequencies, we use a total of 79 channels, ranging from 2400MHz to 2MHz and 2483.5MHz to 3.5MHz, except 2402 ~ 2480MHz. ISM is a frequency band allocated for industrial, scientific, and medical use, and is often used for personal wireless devices that emit low-power radio waves without the need for permission to use radio waves. Amateur radio, WLAN and Bluetooth use this ISM band.

Since the system uses the same frequency band as many systems, interference between systems may occur. To prevent this, Bluetooth adopts a frequency hopping method. Frequency hopping is a technique for quickly moving a large number of channels according to a specific pattern and transmitting the packets (data) little by little. Bluetooth hopes 1600 times per second to the assigned 79 channels.

This hopping pattern must be synchronized between the Bluetooth devices before the communication is established. Bluetooth is connected to the master and slave configurations between devices. If the slave device can not be synchronized with the frequency hopping generated by the master device, communication between the two devices is not performed. As a result, it is possible to stably connect to other systems by avoiding radio interference.

Accordingly, the controller 700 detects the entry of the remote control 800. The controller 700 senses the remote control 800 in which the Bluetooth is operating within the sensing range using the Bluetooth method, So that the automatic control motor 500 can be controlled through wireless communication.

Here, the authorized remote control 800 is a remote control that is previously registered through the control unit 700 to prevent a user other than the authorized user from adjusting the direction of the ship, Means a remote control that is operated by inputting a special password in a specific remote control or wireless communication connection registered in the controller 700.

In other words, the control unit 700 can adjust the direction of the ship through wireless communication with the remote control 800, and other users other than the authorized user can not adjust the direction of the ship, thereby solving the problem of security .

At this time, when the user grasps and rotates the handle 300, the control unit 700 may be configured to detect the interlocking state with the remote control 800 and operate the rotating unit 510 according to the sensed result have.

Accordingly, when the automatic control motor 500 is operated through the remote control 800, the control unit 700 rotates the automatic control motor 500 in the clockwise direction using the rotation unit 510 to rotate the helmet pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are engaged with each other so that the navigation direction of the ship can be automatically adjusted. On the contrary, when the user grasps and rotates the handle 300, the rotating means 510 is operated The automatic control motor 500 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction so that the helm pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are spaced apart to manually adjust the direction of the ship, Unnecessary use of the automatic control motor (500) is prevented, and wear due to gear engagement is minimized, so that a reduction in service life of the device can be minimized.

According to the design conditions, the control unit 700 may be provided inside the automatic control motor 500.

Accordingly, by installing the automatic control motor 500 on the helm pump 100 provided in the existing ship, the installation is easy and the direction of the ship can be automatically controlled through wireless communication.

The control unit 700 may be configured to detect the direction switching angle of the handle 300 when the direction switching angle is 35 degrees or more and to prevent the direction of the handle 300 from being changed.

At this time, a sensing sensor (not shown in the figure) for sensing the direction switching angle of the handle 300 may be further provided.

For example, when the navigation direction of the ship is manually adjusted by operating the handle 300 or automatically by operating the remote control 800, when the direction switching angle of the handle 300 is 35 degrees or more The sensor detects this and the control unit 700 can no longer perform the echo conversion of the steering wheel 300 so that the sinking of the ship due to the sudden turning can be prevented in advance.

7 is a view illustrating an example in which an automatic control gear and a helm pump gear are spaced apart from each other in an automatic steering apparatus capable of adjusting the direction of a ship in a wireless manner according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The sliding means 520 slides the automatic control motor 500 in the left and right directions and is operated by the control unit 700 so that the helm pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are engaged with each other .

Depending on the design conditions, the sliding means 520 may comprise a cylinder and a cylinder rod which are operated by hydraulic pressure.

The control unit 700 may be configured to sense the interlocked state with the remote control 800 when the user grasps and rotates the handle 300 and to operate the sliding unit 520 according to the sensed result.

The control unit 700 moves the automatic control motor 500 toward the helm pump 100 by using the sliding means 520 when the automatic control motor 500 is operated through the remote control 800, When the user grasps and rotates the handle 300, the sliding means 520 can rotate the pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 in a state where the pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are engaged, The automatic control motor 500 is moved to the opposite side of the helm pump 100 so that the helm pump gear 200 and the automatic control gear 600 are spaced apart from each other, Allows you to manually adjust the navigation direction.

The automatic auxiliary gear 540 is provided between the automatic control gear 600 and the lifting rod 530 and fixed to the upper side of the lifting rod 530. As shown in the accompanying drawings, A plurality of locking protrusions 541 are formed.

When the automatic auxiliary gear 540 is rotated by the rotation of the lifting rod 530, the locking protrusion 541 is received by the automatic control gear 600 600 are rotated.

At this time, it is preferable that the engaging protrusions 541 are formed in the same number as the number of the engaging grooves 610.

That is, one latching protrusion 541 is engaged with one latching groove 610.

The reason why the size of the latching groove 610 is larger than the size of the latching protrusion 541 is that when the user grips the handle 300 and manually adjusts the navigation direction of the ship, And the automatic control gear 600 are engaged with each other, a rotational force is applied to the automatic control gear 600 so that the automatic control gear 600 can rotate regardless of the operation of the automatic control motor 500.

At this time, when the user desires to automatically adjust the navigation direction of the ship by operating the remote control 800, the lifting rod 530 is raised so that the automatic auxiliary gear (not shown) is inserted into the engagement groove 610 formed in the automatic control gear 600, The locking protrusions 541 formed in the locking protrusions 540 are inserted and interlocked with each other so that the locking recesses 610 are formed larger than the locking protrusions 541 so that the locking protrusions 541 are smoothly inserted into the locking recesses 610. [ do.

Accordingly, when the automatic control gear 600 and the automatic auxiliary gear 540 are engaged with each other, it is possible to smoothly engage with each other and to minimize wear due to friction of the apparatus.
