Description

The invention relates to the field of shipbuilding, namely to the design of the suspension of outboard motors and can be used for attaching an outboard motor to the side of small-sized light class floating craft with a small displacement.

Known utility model RU 183294 U1 "Suspended surface drive of the ship", MPK V63N 20/00, containing a parallelogram suspension mechanism and an electric motor and propeller unit, fixed with the possibility of rotation around a vertical axis, the support of which is fixed in a holder, made with the possibility of rotation around a horizontal axis, the support of which is fixed on the frame of the suspension mechanism, made with the possibility of vertical movement of the frame, while linear actuators are installed as mechanisms for vertical movement of the frame of the suspension mechanism, as well as adjusting the position of the electric motor unit and propeller in the horizontal and vertical plane.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the manual remote adjustment of the immersion of the propeller. (RU 183294 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

Known utility model RU 187468 U1 "outboard motor off-road", IPC V63N 20/00, containing the engine mounted on the sub-plate. On the engine shaft there is a double-row belt drive pulley connected to the deadwood shaft, on which the propeller and rudder blade are fixed. An adjusting screw for the position of the deadwood in the water is fixed on the clamp. The control handle is connected to the under-engine plate.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the manual adjustment of the immersion of the propeller. (RU 187468 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

Of the known technical solutions, the closest in purpose and technical essence to the claimed object is the invention RU 2043265 C1 "Automatic suspension of the outboard motor", IPC B63H 20/00, F02B 61/04, containing a base plate fixed to the transom of the boat with bolts, which is made with two ribs. Four holes are made in the ribs, two in each, while the axis passing through the centers of the holes makes an angle with the plate, equal in magnitude to the angle of inclination of the boat transom. With the help of shafts and levers, the base plate is movably connected to the bushing, which, in turn, is connected to the stern tube of the outboard motor with a pin. The shafts are fixed in the ribs and in the bushing from the outside by a washer with a nut, in addition, torsion springs are installed on the shafts located in the ribs, fixed at one end in the levers, and at the other end on the base plate. At the junction of the shafts located in the bushing with levers, shock-absorbing rubber bushings are installed. Adjustable stop holes are made on the ribs of the base plate in the lower part.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the manual adjustment of the maximum immersion of the screw by setting the stop in the holes located in the lower part of the ribs of the base plate. (RU 2043265 C1, http://new.fips.ru).

The task to which the claimed solution is directed is the development of an outboard motor suspension with automatic adjustment of the propeller immersion.

According to the first object of the invention, an automatic suspension of a boat motor is proposed, including a fixed plate fixed on the transom of a floating vehicle, connected through a hinged mechanism to a movable plate. The movable plate has a water level sensor, which includes a support platform, on which the limit switches for raising and lowering the movable plate are located, as well as a lever fixed movably on the support platform, one end of which has a float, and the opposite end is located between the limit switches for raising and lowering the movable plate.

In one embodiment, the water level sensor is made in the form of a magnetic sensor or a capacitive sensor.

According to the second object of the invention, a method is proposed for the operation of an automatic suspension of a boat motor, including adjusting the immersion of the propeller, while to adjust the immersion of the propeller by the suspension, the position of the float of the water level sensor fixed at the end of the lever, which with its free end acts on the lowering limit switch or the lifting limit switch, is changed. movable plate, the control signal from which is transmitted to the control unit for the vertical movement of the movable plate, thus changing the position of the movable plate relative to the water surface until the free end of the lever comes out of contact with the lowering or lifting limit switch.

The essence of the invention

The problem is solved due to the fact that the movable plate (3) of Fig. 1, connected to a fixed plate (1) through a vertical movement mechanism (4), has a water level sensor, including a support platform (5), on which the lifting limit switch (6) and lowering limit switch (7) of the movable plate (3) and a lever are located , (8) movably fixed on the support platform (5), having a float (9) at one end. The opposite end of the lever (8) is located between the lift (6) and release (7) limit switches of the movable plate (3).

The outboard motor suspension includes a fixed plate (1) of FIG. 1 L-shaped, fixed on the transom (2) of the craft. The fixed plate (1) is connected to the movable plate (3) through the vertical movement mechanism (4). The vertical movement mechanism (4) is made in the form of a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder or an electric drive and has a control unit. The movable plate (3) has a water level sensor. This design allows you to automatically change the position of the movable plate (3), on which the outboard motor is fixed relative to the water level, thereby regulating the immersion of the propeller. The water level sensor contains a support platform (5), on which there is a lifting limit switch (6) and a lowering limit switch (7) of the movable plate (3) and a lever (8) movably fixed on the support platform (5) having a float at one end ( nine). The free end of the lever (8) is located between the lift (6) and release (7) limit switches of the movable plate (3). In a particular case of execution, the water level sensor is made in the form of a magnetic water level sensor or a capacitive water level sensor.

The method of operation of the automatic suspension of the outboard motor includes the following sequence of actions.

The position of the float (9) of FIG. 1, which is fixed at the end of the lever (8), by increasing or decreasing the water level, thereby the free end of the lever (8) acts on the lowering limit switch (7) or the lifting limit switch (6) of the movable plate (3). The control signal from the lowering limit switch (7) or the lifting limit switch (6) is transmitted to the control unit of the vertical movement mechanism (4) of the movable plate (3), thus changing the position of the movable plate (3), on which the outboard motor is fixed relative to the water surface until the moment when the free end of the lever (8) is out of contact with the lowering (7) or lifting (6) limit switch due to a change in the position of the float (9).

The technical result is the creation of a boat motor suspension with automatic adjustment of the propeller immersion.

Implementation of the stated solution:

The claimed solution works as follows.

The outboard motor is fixed on the movable plate (3) of FIG. 1, and the fixed plate (1) is fixed on the transom (2) of the floating craft.

Upon contact of the float (9) of Fig. 1 with water and a change in its level when sailing in stormy conditions, the free end of the lever (8) changes its position and affects the lifting limit switch (6) or the lowering limit switch (7) of the movable plate (3). The control signal from the lowering limit switch (7) or the lifting limit switch (6) is fed to the control unit of the vertical movement mechanism (4) of the movable plate (3), thereby setting the mechanism (4) in motion, changing the position of the movable plate (3), on which the outboard motor is fixed relative to the water surface until the free end of the lever (8) comes out of contact with the lowering (7) or lifting limit switch (6) due to a change in the position of the float (9).
