Description

IZVENKRMNI MOTOROUTBOARD MOTOR

Predmet izuma je izvenkrmni motor, ki se lahko neomejeno obrača, z zaslonom na dotik, zvočnikom, električnim aktuatorjem (ki električno energijo prejema preko slipringa) za lastno dvigovanje, izvenkrmni motor s sistemom za obračanje, ki omogoča krmiljenje s fizičnim obračanjem izvenkrmnega motorja (pri čemer je lahko omogočena servo pomoč pri krmiljenju) ter krmiljenje brez fizičnega dotikanja/premikanja izvenkrmnega motorja s strani zunanjih sil (to so vse sile, ki ne delujejo na izvenkrmni motor s strani njegovih lastnih komponent).The subject of the invention is an outboard motor that can turn indefinitely, with a touch screen, a speaker, an electric actuator (which receives electricity via a slipring) for its own lifting, an outboard motor with a turning system that allows control by physically turning the outboard motor (at which may enable servo steering assistance) and steering without the outboard being physically touched/moved by external forces (that is, any forces not acting on the outboard by its own components).

Izumljen izvenkrmni motorje sestavljen iz zaslona na dotik (Z), zvočnika (S), električnega motorja (E), ki vrti spodnji del (skupaj 19,20) okoli osi (0) relativno na trup (T), aktuatorja (10)(ki se napaja preko slip-ringa(9)), nosilca (P), elektromotorja (25) za pogon propelerja (31), vsaj ene elastične komponente, ki med seboj povezuje zgornji del (skupaj 15,16) in spodnji del (skupaj 19,20); med seboj relativno vrtljiva dela preko katerih se obračata glava (G) in noga (N) izvenkrmnega motorja, ter vsaj ene merilne komponente (1) (prednostno potenciometer), ki zaznava razliko v rotaciji med prej omenjenima deloma.Invented outboard motors consisting of a touch screen (Z), a speaker (S), an electric motor (E) that rotates the lower part (total 19,20) around an axis (0) relative to the hull (T), an actuator (10)( which is fed via a slip-ring (9)), a support (P), an electric motor (25) for driving the propeller (31), at least one elastic component that connects the upper part (total 15,16) and the lower part (total 19,20); relatively rotating parts through which the head (G) and foot (N) of the outboard motor turn, and at least one measuring component (1) (preferably a potentiometer) which detects the difference in rotation between the aforementioned parts.

Tehnični problem, ki ga rešuje izum je takšen izvenkrmni motor, ki ima sistem (mehanizem), ki bo omogočal tako krmiljenje plovila z izvenkrmnim motorjem na običajen način, tj. s fizičnim obračanjem izvenkrmnega motorja preko ročice (s servo pomočjo), kot krmiljenje brez kakršnegakoli vnosa zunanjih sil na izvenkrmni motor in vsebuje (to se nanaša na mehanizem) dovolj prostora za potek kablov z električno energijo (za pogon propelerja) znotraj tega mehanizma v smeri vertikale; takšen izvenkrmni motor, ki omogoča možnost spremljanja statusa in upravljanja funkcij izvenkrmnega motorja na samem izvenkrmnem motorju, takšen izvenkrmni motor, ki ima integriran zvočnik za poslušanje glasbe ter omogočanje zvočnih obvestil v plovilu, takšen izvenkrmni motor, ki omogoča električni dvig izvenkrmnega motorja ter hkrati omogoča neomejeno obračanje propelerja okoli osi (0).The technical problem solved by the invention is such an outboard motor, which has a system (mechanism) that will allow the vessel to be steered with an outboard motor in the usual way, i.e. by physically turning the outboard motor via a crank (servo assisted), as a steering without any input of external forces to the outboard motor and containing (this refers to the mechanism) sufficient space for the electrical power cables (to drive the propeller) within this mechanism in the direction verticals; such an outboard engine that enables the possibility of monitoring the status and management of the outboard engine functions on the outboard engine itself, such an outboard engine that has an integrated speaker for listening to music and enabling audio notifications in the vessel, such an outboard engine that enables the electric lifting of the outboard engine and at the same time enables unlimited rotation of the propeller around the axis (0).

Obstoječe rešitve za obračanje izvenkrmnega motorja obsegajo različne sisteme, nekatere omogočajo servo pomoč pri obračanju z ročico, nekatere pa obračanje brez fizičnega premikanja izvenkrmnega motorja s strani zunanjih sil, še nobena rešitev pa ne omogoča obojnega na istem izvenkrmnem motorju; tj. možnost obračanja izvenkrmnega motorja fizično preko krmilne ročice (servo pomočjo ali brez) ter obračanja brez kakršnegakoli fizičnega dotika izvenkrmnega motorja. Zaenkrat na izvenkrmnih motorjih obstajajo zvočniki, ki so namenjeni opozorilom (npr. napaka v hlajenju - primer patent US4971583A), ne obstajajo pa še zvočniki, ki bi omogočali poslušanje glasbe ter bi s tem namenom imeli membrano usmerjeno proti čolnu, ki bi bila vgrajena na način, da omogoča čist, kvaliteten zvok uporabnikom čolna. Ne obstaja še izvenkrmni motor, ki bi omogočal funkcije kot so; daljinsko vodenje, avtonomna plovba, poslušanje glasbe, zato tudi ne obstaja način, ki bi omogočal prikaz takšnih funkcij in možnost njihovega upravljanja na izvenkrmnem motorju. Za potrebe električnega dviga izvenkrmnega motorja obstajajo razni načini implementacije aktuatorja z elektromotorjem, ne obstaja pa še način implementacije, ki bi omogočal neomejeno obračanje propelerja okoli osi (0) v primeru, da napajanje za delovanje aktuatorja prihaja s strani izvenkrmnega motorja torej ne neposredno od zunaj.Existing outboard turning solutions include a variety of systems, some enabling servo assisted turning with a crank, some turning without physically moving the outboard by external forces, and yet no solution allows both on the same outboard; i.e. the possibility of turning the outboard motor physically via the control lever (servo assistance or without) and turning without any physical contact with the outboard motor. So far, there are speakers on outboard motors that are intended for warnings (e.g. cooling failure - example patent US4971583A), but there are no speakers that would allow listening to music and for this purpose would have a membrane directed towards the boat, which would be installed on a way to provide clear, quality sound to boat users. There is not yet an outboard motor that enables functions such as; remote control, autonomous navigation, listening to music, so there is no way to display such functions and the possibility of their management on the outboard motor. For the needs of the electric lift of the outboard motor, there are various ways of implementing the actuator with an electric motor, but there is no way of implementing it that would allow unlimited turning of the propeller around the axis (0) in the case that the power supply for the operation of the actuator comes from the side of the outboard motor, i.e. not directly from the outside .

Pri izumu po patentu CA243054, je v trupu izvenkrmnega motorja integriran elektromotor, z namenom obračanja propelerja relativno na plovilo. V takšnem sistemu elektromotor le nadomesti silo za obračanje izvenkrmnega motorja od zunaj, nikakor pa ne omogoča obračanja izvenkrmnega motorja tudi z roko (s servo pomočjo ali brez).In the invention according to patent CA243054, an electric motor is integrated in the hull of the outboard motor, with the purpose of turning the propeller relative to the vessel. In such a system, the electric motor only replaces the force for turning the outboard motor from the outside, but in no way allows the outboard motor to be turned by hand (with or without servo assistance).

Pri patentu JP2959044, prav tako elektromotor le nadomesti obračanje motorja s strani zunanjih sil (npr. roke vodnika plovila, hidravlike ali vlečnega kabla) in ne omogoča obračanja izvenkrmnega motorja z roko (s servo pomočjo ali brez).In the patent JP2959044, also the electric motor only replaces the turning of the motor by external forces (e.g. the hand of the vessel's guide, hydraulics or towing cable) and does not allow turning the outboard motor by hand (with or without servo assistance).

Sistemi, ki omogočajo podoben način obračanja kot po izumu opisanem v patentu (z vnosom fizične sile od zunaj, ter obračanje z elektromotorjem brez vnosa fizične sile od zunaj), se uporabljajo npr. v avtomobilski industriji za potrebe servo krmiljenja ter avtonomne vožnje (tj. tudi avtonomnega obračanja volana.)Systems that enable a similar way of turning as according to the invention described in the patent (with the introduction of physical force from the outside, and turning with an electric motor without the introduction of physical force from the outside), are used, for example. in the automotive industry for the needs of power steering and autonomous driving (i.e. also autonomous turning of the steering wheel.)

Princip delovanja takšnih sistemov je razviden iz patentov US2007246290A1 ter US 7,845,244 B2, pri katerih sta dve koaksialni, med seboj relativno vrtljivi gredi, povezani s torzijsko palico, ki se ob obračanju torzijsko zvije. Relativni obrat ene gredi na drugo, senzorji zaznajo, glede na ta premik pa elektromotor ustrezno ukrepa, tako da se gredi ponovno izravnata v izhodiščni položaj relativno ena na drugo.The principle of operation of such systems can be seen from patents US2007246290A1 and US 7,845,244 B2, in which two coaxial shafts rotating relatively to each other are connected by a torsion bar, which twists torsionally when turning. The relative rotation of one shaft to another is detected by the sensors, and according to this movement, the electric motor takes appropriate action, so that the two shafts are re-aligned to their starting position relative to each other.

Implementacija takšnih sistemov v izvenkrmnem motorju ni primerna, saj v njih ni na voljo veliko prostora in posledično ne omogočajo poteka pogonske gredi ali kablov skozi srednji del izvenkrmnega motorja (za povezavo zgornjega dela s spodnjim), oziroma bi bilo za njihov potek potrebno nesmiselno povečanje obsega srednjega dela izvenkrmnega motorja. Poleg tega, pa bi bilo s takšnim sistemom težko omogočiti neomejeno (mišljen poljubno velik kot) obračanje izvenkrmnega motorja, torej propelerja okoli osi (0). Z obračanjem (ta pomen velja skozi celotno besedilo) je označeno horizontalno spreminjanje kota osi vrtenja propelerja glede na plovilo.The implementation of such systems in an outboard motor is not suitable, as there is not much space available in them and, as a result, they do not allow the drive shaft or cables to pass through the middle part of the outboard motor (to connect the upper part with the lower part), or their course would require a senseless increase in volume middle part of the outboard motor. In addition, with such a system, it would be difficult to enable unlimited (an arbitrarily large angle) rotation of the outboard motor, i.e. the propeller around the axis (0). By turning (this meaning applies throughout the text) is indicated the horizontal change of the angle of the axis of rotation of the propeller relative to the vessel.

Po izumu je ta problem rešen s tem, da so vse komponente tesno skupaj, tako da zavzamejo čim manj prostora, namesto gredi in torzijske palice, pa so uporabljene votle cevi ter takšna elastična komponenta, ki omogoča to, da skozi obe cevi ter mimo elastične komponente (torej skozi celoten mehanizem) poteka prazen prostor, dovolj velik za potek kablov za prenos električne energije od glave (G) do pogonskega elektromotorja (25) v nogi (N). Ti kabli omogočajo napajanje pogonskega sistema izvenkrmnega motorja in posledično vrtenje propelerja (31). Implementacija takšnega sistema omogoča tudi to, da se lahko os vrtenja propelerja poljubno prosto obrača okoli osi (0), saj se lahko kabli obračajo skupaj z glavo (G)(iz kjer lahko izhaja napajanje) ter posledično niso omejeni z zapletanjem. Napajanje lahko izhaja neposredno iz glave, npr. baterija v glavi ter posledično omogoča neomejeno obračanje izvenkrmnega motorja v osi (0).According to the invention, this problem is solved by the fact that all components are close together, so that they take up as little space as possible, and instead of shafts and torsion bars, hollow pipes and such an elastic component are used, which makes it possible to pass through both pipes and past the elastic components (that is, through the entire mechanism) there is an empty space large enough for the passage of cables for the transmission of electricity from the head (G) to the drive electric motor (25) in the leg (N). These cables enable the power supply of the drive system of the outboard motor and consequently the rotation of the propeller (31). The implementation of such a system also allows the axis of rotation of the propeller to freely rotate around the axis (0), as the cables can rotate together with the head (G) (from where the power can come from) and consequently are not limited by entanglement. Power can come directly from the head, e.g. battery in the head and consequently enables unlimited turning of the outboard motor in axis (0).

Po izumu je problem električnega dviga izvenkrmnega motorja glede na plovilo, ob hkratni možnosti neomejenega obračanja propelerja okoli osi (0), rešen s tem, da je električni aktuator (10), na napajanje, ki do njega prihaja prek trupa (T), povezan prek slip-ringa (9), ki omogoča to, da se izvenkrmni motor (mišljeni so tisti deli ki se lahko vrtijo- npr. glava, noga,., več o tem v nadaljevanju) neomejeno obrača okoli osi (0) in zato tudi relativno na aktuator, ob tem pa ta ves čas (ali pa le v nevtralnem položaju motorja - več o nevtralnem položaju kasneje) ohranja povezavo z napajanjem.According to the invention, the problem of electric lifting of the outboard motor relative to the vessel, with the simultaneous possibility of unrestricted turning of the propeller around the axis (0), is solved by the fact that the electric actuator (10) is connected to the power supplied to it through the hull (T) via a slip-ring (9), which allows the outboard motor (meaning those parts that can rotate - e.g. head, leg,.., more on this below) to turn indefinitely around the axis (0) and therefore also relative to the actuator, and at the same time it maintains the connection to the power supply all the time (or only in the neutral position of the motor - more about the neutral position later).

Po izumu je problem prikaza in upravljanja funkcij rešen z integracijo zaslona, občutljivega na dotik, na glavo (G) izvenkrmnega motorja.According to the invention, the problem of displaying and managing functions is solved by integrating a touch-sensitive display on the head (G) of the outboard motor.

Po izumu je problem možnosti kvalitetnega poslušanja glasbe rešen na način, daje na glavi integriran zvočnik, ki ima membrano usmerjeno na način, da ne-zadušen (pomeni, da membrana ni nepredušno pokrita) oddajan zvok slišijo uporabniki v plovilu.According to the invention, the problem of the possibility of listening to music in good quality is solved by putting an integrated speaker on the head, which has a membrane oriented in such a way that the non-muffled (meaning that the membrane is not airtightly covered) emitted sound is heard by the users in the vessel.

Izum bo opisan na več možnih izvedbenih primerih ter 8 slikah.The invention will be described on several possible implementation examples and 8 pictures.

S sredinskim prečnim prerezom je mišljen vertikalni prerez po sredini (glede na širino plovila) izvenkrmnega motorja v smeri dolžine plovila pri nevtralnem (pomeni položaj motorja, ko je os vrtenja propelerja usmerjena v smeri dolžine plovila ter je motor postavljen na sredini plovila glede na širino) položaju izvenkrmnega motorja.The central cross-section means the vertical cross-section through the middle (with respect to the width of the vessel) of the outboard motor in the direction of the length of the vessel at neutral (it means the position of the motor when the axis of rotation of the propeller is directed in the direction of the length of the vessel and the motor is placed in the middle of the vessel in relation to the width) position of the outboard motor.

Sledi natančen opis izuma.A detailed description of the invention follows.

Z besedo os je, če ni posebej definirano, označena os vrtenja (0). Obračalni mehanizem je sestavljen iz 2 koaksialno postavljenih kosov, zgornjega (16) in spodnjega (19), zgornji kos je fiksno povezan z votlo gredjo (cevjo) nad njim (15), kos 16 in 15 sta med seboj lahko povezana na različne načine (npr. točkovno varjenje, z zatičem itd.), namesto kosov 16 in 15 je lahko uporabljen za to funkcijo tudi samo en ali pa več kosov, vsem verzijam pa je skupno to, da je celoten zgornji del (na sliki skupaj 15,16) - od tu naprej bo zanj uporabljen izraz zgornji del, fiksno povezan in se enotno vrti glede na os (sicer iz več kosov le zaradi lažje montaže). Enako kot velja za kosa (15,16), velja tudi za kosa (19) in votlo gred (20). Kosa sta koaksialna in fiksno povezana, lahko pa se namesto njiju (od tu naprej se bo zanju skupaj uporabljal izraz spodnji del) za ta namen uporabi poljubna kombinacija kosov, ali en sam kos. Zgornji del (15,16) in spodnji del (19,20), sta koaksialno postavljena na osi vrtenja eden nad drugim. Zgornji in spodnji del ali pa njihovi sestavni deli so lahko poljubnih oblik. Pomembno je to, da omogočajo vrtenje okoli osi (0). Zgornji in spodnji del imata takšno obliko, da mehansko omejujeta relativni zasuk enega dela na drugega, kar pomeni, da se pri določenem relativnem zasuku enega dela (mišljena zgornji in spodnji del) na drugega, dela v smeri vrtenja med seboj zablokirata (lahko neposredno ali pa posredno preko kakšnega vmesnega člena) in tako v tisti smeri ni možno nadaljnjo povečanje relativnega zasuka zgornjega dela na spodnjega. Zgornji in spodnji del, sta povezana z elastičnim elementom (od sedaj naprej vzmet), pri čemer je en del vzmeti fiksno pritrjen na zgornji del, drugi del pa na spodnji del. Vzmet je postavljena tako, da omogoča potek praznega prostora, dovolj velikega za potek kablov namenjenih za napajanje pogonskega električnega motorja (25) - motorja namenjenega vrtenju propelerja, če je ta električni motor implementiran v nogi (N) in za potek kablov namenjenih za napajanje krmilnega elektromotorja (E) ter za potek kablov za napajanje ostalih elektronskih komponent, ki morajo biti povezane z glavo ali potek dovolj velikega (tj. praznega prostora) za potek pogonske gredi (ki vrti propeler, v primeru, da je motor za vrtenje propelerja integriran v glavi), skozi/ob osi. Od sedaj se bo za ta prostor (v bistvu gre za prostor enak notranjosti votle cevi; potreben premer tega notranjega prostora je pa odvisen od tega, koliko debeli kabli so uporabljeni za delovanje komponent, ki jih povezujejo) uporabljalo ime prostor za potek kablov. Vzmet je postavljena tako, da omogoča relativni zasuk zgornjega dela glede na spodnji del. Pri tem pa vzmetne sile delujejo v smeri zmanjševanja relativnega zasuka zgornjega dela glede na spodnji del okoli osi. V izvedbenem primeru je kot vzmet uporabljena torzijska vzmet (5), ki ima dovolj velik premer, da skoznjo v smeri osi poteka dovolj praznega prostora za potek kablov. V izvedbenem primeru je vzmet pritrjena s tesnim ujemom na zgornji (na eni strani) in spodnji (na drugi strani) del. Lahko pa se za to nalogo uporabi poljubno vrsto vzmeti, ki jo je mogoče implementirati v takšen obračalni mehanizem. Ta izum se tudi ne nanaša le na izvedbeno postavitev vzmeti. Vzmet je npr. lahko kompresijska in postavljena med zgornjim (skupaj 15,16) in spodnjim (skupaj 19,20) delom pravokotno glede na os vrtenja. Pri izbiri vzmeti je pomembno le to, da je izvedba takšna, da omogoča potek praznega prostora in posledično potek kablov skozi os vrtenja. Tudi način pritrditve vzmeti je lahko poljuben. Med zgornjim in spodnjim delom je postavljen senzor (1)(dovod električne energije do senzorja omogoča luknja v spodnjem ali zgornjem delu, ki omogoča prehod kablov z električno energijo, iz za kable namenjenega prostora ob osi, do senzorja), ki v primeru relativnega zasuka zgornjega dela na spodnjega, premik zazna. Kot senzor je lahko uporabljena poljubna vrsta senzorja (npr. potenciometer, encoder itd.) in poljuben način pritrditve senzorja. Prazen prostor, dovolj velik za potek kablov za prenos električne energije torej poteka vzdolž osi skozi zgornji del, mimo vzmeti ali pa skozi vzmet (odvisno od konfiguracije), ter skozi spodnji del. Spodnji del je fiksno povezan s sklopom delov, ki je med plovbo vsaj delno v vodi, (od tedaj se bo za ta sklop uporabljal izraz noga (N)). Zgornji del pa je fiksno povezan z vrhnjim sklopom, del katerega je običajno ročica za ročno krmiljenje izvenkrmnega motorja (v primeru, da gre za verzijo izvenkrmnega motorja, ki omogoča ročno krmiljenje). Za ta sklop bo od sedaj naprej uporabljen izraz glava (G).The word axis, if not specifically defined, denotes the axis of rotation (0). The turning mechanism consists of 2 coaxially placed pieces, the upper (16) and the lower (19), the upper piece is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft (tube) above it (15), the piece 16 and 15 can be connected to each other in different ways ( e.g. spot welding, with a pin, etc.), instead of pieces 16 and 15, only one or more pieces can be used for this function, and all versions have in common that the entire upper part (in the picture, 15,16 in total) - from here on, the term upper part will be used for it, fixedly connected and rotating uniformly with respect to the axis (otherwise from several pieces only for easier assembly). The same applies to the piece (15,16), also to the piece (19) and the hollow shaft (20). The pieces are coaxial and fixedly connected, but any combination of pieces or a single piece can be used instead of them (from now on they will be collectively referred to as the lower part). The upper part (15,16) and the lower part (19,20) are placed coaxially on the axis of rotation one above the other. The upper and lower parts or their components can be of any shape. The important thing is that they allow rotation around the (0) axis. The upper and lower parts have such a shape that they mechanically limit the relative rotation of one part to the other, which means that at a certain relative rotation of one part (meaning the upper and lower part) to the other, the parts block each other in the direction of rotation (can be directly or and indirectly through some intermediate link) and thus in that direction it is not possible to further increase the relative twist of the upper part to the lower part. The upper and lower parts are connected by an elastic element (from now on a spring), whereby one part of the spring is fixed to the upper part, and the other part to the lower part. The spring is positioned in such a way as to allow the passage of an empty space large enough for the passage of the cables intended to power the driving electric motor (25) - the motor intended to rotate the propeller, if this electric motor is implemented in the leg (N) and for the passage of the cables intended to power the steering of the electric motor (E) and for the routing of the cables for powering the other electronic components, which must be connected to the head or the routing of a large enough (i.e. free space) for the routing of the drive shaft (which rotates the propeller, in case the motor for rotating the propeller is integrated in head), through/along the axis. From now on, this space (essentially the same space as the inside of a hollow tube; the required diameter of this inner space depends on how thick the cables are used to operate the components that connect them) will be called the cable routing space. The spring is positioned in such a way as to allow relative rotation of the upper part with respect to the lower part. Here, the spring forces act in the direction of reducing the relative rotation of the upper part with respect to the lower part around the axis. In the implementation example, a torsion spring (5) is used as a spring, which has a diameter large enough to allow enough empty space for the cables to pass through it in the direction of the axis. In the embodiment, the spring is attached with a tight grip to the upper (on one side) and lower (on the other side) part. However, any type of spring that can be implemented in such a turning mechanism can be used for this task. This invention also does not only relate to the design of the spring. The spring is e.g. can be compression and placed between the upper (total 15,16) and lower (total 19,20) parts perpendicular to the axis of rotation. When choosing a spring, the only important thing is that the design is such that it allows the flow of free space and, consequently, the flow of cables through the axis of rotation. The method of attaching the spring can also be arbitrary. A sensor (1) is placed between the upper and lower parts (the supply of electricity to the sensor is made possible by a hole in the lower or upper part, which allows the passage of cables with electricity, from the space intended for cables along the axis, to the sensor), which in case of relative rotation of the upper part to the lower part, the movement is detected. Any type of sensor (e.g. potentiometer, encoder, etc.) and any method of attaching the sensor can be used as a sensor. An empty space, large enough for the passage of cables for the transmission of electricity, therefore passes along the axis through the upper part, past the spring or through the spring (depending on the configuration), and through the lower part. The lower part is fixedly connected to a set of parts that is at least partially in the water during navigation (from then on, the term leg (N) will be used for this set). The upper part is fixedly connected to the upper assembly, part of which is usually the handle for manual control of the outboard motor (in case it is a version of the outboard motor that allows manual control). From now on, the term head (G) will be used for this assembly.

Ta dva sklopa, sta premično (glede na srednji sklop se lahko premikata le vrtljivo okoli osi(O)) vpeta v srednji sklop; od sedaj naprej se bo zanj uporabljal izraz trup (T).These two assemblies are movably (with respect to the middle assembly they can only move rotationally around the axis (O)) clamped in the middle assembly; henceforth it will be referred to as the hull (T).

Znotraj trupa (T) je umeščen elektromotor (E), ta pa je povezan s spodnjim delom tako, da se ob vrtenju rotorja tega elektromotorja glede na stator, obrača tudi spodnji del okoli osi, torej relativno glede na trup. Sledita opisa 3 izmed številnih možnih načinov implementacije krmilnega elektromotorja.An electric motor (E) is located inside the hull (T), which is connected to the lower part in such a way that when the rotor of this electric motor rotates relative to the stator, the lower part also rotates around the axis, i.e. relative to the hull. The following are descriptions of 3 of the many possible ways of implementing a control electric motor.

Zaradi razločevanja različnih načinov implementacije elektromotorja, je pri vsakem različnem izvedbenem primeru, krmilni elektromotor označen poleg črke E (ki splošno označuje sklop implementiranega krmilnega elektromotorja) še s posamezno številko. Torej z E1 (E1 zaradi specifične implementacije ni neposredno označen, označeni pa so njegovi sestavni deli- slika 5), E2, E3.In order to distinguish different ways of implementing the electric motor, in each different embodiment, the control electric motor is marked with an individual number in addition to the letter E (which generally indicates the set of the implemented control electric motor). So with E1 (E1 is not directly marked due to the specific implementation, but its components are marked - Figure 5), E2, E3.

V 1. izvedbenem primeru implementacije obračalnega elektromotorja (slika 5) je z namenom optimizacije prostora in teže, za spremembo prestavnega razmerja med vrtenjem rotorja in osi uporabljen harmonic drive (patent US4909098) (zaradi boljšega razumevanja so zanj in za nekatere njegove komponente uporabljeni angleški izrazi). Deluje pa na način, da je stator elektromotorja (30), fiksno povezan z votlo gredjo (20) (torej tudi s spodnjim delom) tako, da se ob vrtenju statorja okoli osi, vrti (z enako kotno hitrostjo) okoli osi tudi votla gred (20) (del spodnjega dela). Stator objema votlo gred. Rotor elektromotorja (29) objema stator in je fiksno pritrjen na wave generator (27), flex spline (26) je tudi fiksno pritrjen na spodnji del. Circular spline (25) pa je fiksno pritrjen na trup (T). Izraz fiksno pritrjen pomeni, da se tako povezana dva dela med sabo ne moreta relativno premikati. Kabli za dovod električne energije dostopajo do elektromotorja iz votle gredi skozi v zato narejeno odprtino v tej votli gredi (ta gred je kot že opisano del spodnjega dela).In the 1st implementation example of the implementation of a turning electric motor (Figure 5), in order to optimize space and weight, a harmonic drive (patent US4909098) is used to change the gear ratio between the rotation of the rotor and the axis (for better understanding, English terms are used for it and for some of its components ). It works in such a way that the stator of the electric motor (30) is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft (20) (that is, also to the lower part) so that when the stator rotates around the axis, the hollow shaft also rotates (with the same angular speed) around the axis (20) (part of lower section). The stator hugs the hollow shaft. The rotor of the electric motor (29) embraces the stator and is fixedly attached to the wave generator (27), the flex spline (26) is also fixedly attached to the lower part. The circular spline (25) is fixed to the body (T). The term fixed means that the two parts connected in this way cannot move relative to each other. Cables for the supply of electricity access the electric motor from the hollow shaft through an opening made for this purpose in this hollow shaft (as already described, this shaft is part of the lower part).

V 2. izvedbenem primeru implementacije obračalnega elektromotorja (slika 6) je za relativno obračanje spodnjega dela glede na trup uporabljen elektromotor (E2), ki je z ohišjem fiksno pritrjen na spodnji del. Elektromotor je pritrjen na način, da je njegova daljša dimenzija postavljena vertikalno. Izhodna pogonska gred elektromotorja je povezana z reduktorjem (7), preko katerega pa se, v primerjavi z izhodno gredjo z zmanjšano hitrostjo, vrti zobnik (8), ki je premično vpet v zobato steno (6) trupa, na način, da se zobnik (8) lahko neomejeno (mišljen poljubno velik kot) vrti, pri tem pa je ves čas vpet v zobato steno (ob vrtenju se torej premika po zobati steni); tlorisno gledano na notranji strani stena tvori krožnico, na kateri so zobje. Elektromotor (E2) je vpet torej na način, da se ob njegovem delovanju (vrtenju), prek reduktorja vrti zobnik (8), ki se premika po zobati steni trupa (6), s tem pa obrača spodnji (skupaj 19,20) ter posredno tudi zgornji del (skupaj 16,15) glede na trup (T). Ker je zobata stena na notranji strani tlorisno gledano okrogla, ohranja zobnik ne glede na vrtenje enako razdaljo do zobate stene ter lahko posledično neomejeno (mišljen poljubno velik kot) vrti glavo (G) ter nogo (N) glede na trup. Osi vrtenja, na katerih se vrtijo zobniki reduktorja ter zobnik (8) so fiksno pritrjene glede na spodnji del (skupaj 19,20) (torej tudi glede na nogo (N)) in premično glede na trup (T). Reduktorja (7) lahko tudi ni in je posledično zobnik (8) neposredno fiksno povezan s pogonsko gredjo elektromotorja.In the 2nd implementation example of the implementation of the turning electric motor (Figure 6), an electric motor (E2) is used for the relative turning of the lower part with respect to the hull, which is fixed to the lower part with the housing. The electric motor is attached in such a way that its longer dimension is placed vertically. The output drive shaft of the electric motor is connected to a reducer (7), through which, compared to the output shaft with a reduced speed, the gear (8) rotates, which is movably engaged in the toothed wall (6) of the hull, in such a way that the gear (8) it can rotate indefinitely (an arbitrarily large angle is meant), while being locked into the gear wall all the time (when rotating, it therefore moves along the gear wall); in plan view, on the inside of the wall, it forms a circle on which there are teeth. The electric motor (E2) is connected in such a way that during its operation (rotation), the gear (8) rotates through the reducer, which moves along the toothed wall of the body (6), thereby turning the lower (total 19,20) and indirectly also the upper part (total 16.15) in relation to the trunk (T). Since the toothed wall is round on the inside in plan view, the gear maintains the same distance to the toothed wall regardless of the rotation, and can consequently rotate the head (G) and the leg (N) in relation to the body without limit (an arbitrarily large angle is meant). The axes of rotation on which the gears of the reducer rotate and the gear (8) are fixed in relation to the lower part (total 19,20) (so also in relation to the leg (N)) and movable in relation to the body (T). There may also be no reducer (7) and as a result the gear (8) is directly and permanently connected to the drive shaft of the electric motor.

V 3. izvedbenem primeru implementacije obračalnega elektromotorja (slika 7) je za relativno obračanje spodnjega dela glede na trup uporabljen elektromotor (E3), ki je z ohišjem fiksno pritrjen na trup (T). Elektromotorje pritrjen na način, da je njegova daljša dimenzija postavljena vertikalno. Izhodna pogonska gred elektromotorja je povezana z reduktorjem (7), preko katerega pa se, v primerjavi z izhodno gredjo z zmanjšano hitrostjo, vrti zobnik (8), ki je premično vpet v zunanjo steno (v tej konfiguraciji je zobata) votle cevi (20) spodnjega dela, na način, da se zobnik (8) lahko neomejeno (mišljen poljubno velik kot) vrti, pri tem pa je ves čas vpet v zobato steno (ob vrtenju se torej premika po zobati steni). Elektromotor (E3) je vpet torej na način, da se ob njegovem delovanju (vrtenju), prek reduktorja vrti zobnik (8), ki se premika po zobati zunanji steni (12) votle cevi spodnjega dela, s tem pa obrača spodnji (skupaj 19,20) ter posredno tudi zgornji del (skupaj 15,16) glede na trup (T). Ker je zobata stena cevi na zunanji strani tlorisno gledano okrogla, ohranja zobnik ne glede na vrtenje enako razdaljo do zobate stene ter lahko posledično neomejeno (mišljen poljubno velik kot) vrti glavo(G) ter nogo (N) glede na trup(T). Osi vrtenja, na katerih se vrtijo zobniki reduktorja ter zobnik (8) so fiksno pritrjene glede na trup (T) in premično glede na spodnji del (skupaj 19,20). Reduktorja (7) lahko tudi ni in je posledično zobnik (8) neposredno povezan s pogonsko gredjo elektromotorja (E3). Elektromotor (E3) napajanje prejema po kablih (kabli znotraj cevi se glede na elektromotor prosto vrtijo skupaj s spodnjim delom), ki preidejo iz cevi prek slipringa (9), ki omogoča konstantno delovanje elektromotorja (E3), ne glede na obračanje spodnjega dela ter posledično napajalnih kablov znotraj njega.In the 3rd implementation example of the implementation of the turning electric motor (Figure 7), an electric motor (E3) is used for the relative turning of the lower part with respect to the hull, which is fixed with the housing to the hull (T). The electric motor is attached in such a way that its longer dimension is placed vertically. The output drive shaft of the electric motor is connected to the reducer (7), through which, compared to the output shaft at a reduced speed, the gear (8) rotates, which is movably engaged in the outer wall (in this configuration it is a tooth) of the hollow tube (20) ) of the lower part, in such a way that the pinion (8) can rotate indefinitely (an arbitrarily large angle is meant), while at the same time it is engaged in the gear wall (when rotating, it therefore moves along the gear wall). The electric motor (E3) is connected in such a way that during its operation (rotation), the gear (8) rotates through the reducer, which moves along the toothed outer wall (12) of the hollow tube of the lower part, thereby turning the lower (total 19 ,20) and indirectly also the upper part (total 15,16) in relation to the body (T). Since the toothed wall of the tube is round on the outside, the gear maintains the same distance to the toothed wall regardless of the rotation, and as a result can rotate the head (G) and the leg (N) in relation to the body (T) without limit (an arbitrarily large angle is meant). The axes of rotation on which the gears of the reducer rotate and the gear (8) are fixedly fixed relative to the body (T) and movable relative to the lower part (total 19,20). There may also be no reducer (7) and as a result the gear (8) is directly connected to the drive shaft of the electric motor (E3). The electric motor (E3) is powered by cables (the cables inside the tube rotate freely together with the lower part in relation to the electric motor), which pass out of the tube via a slipring (9), which enables constant operation of the electric motor (E3), regardless of the rotation of the lower part, and consequently the power cables inside it.

Namesto izvedbenih konfiguracij je lahko uporabljen poljuben elektromotor in reduktor (reduktor pomeni kombinacija zobnikov ali zobnik za spremembo prestavnega razmerja, reduktorja lahko tudi ni), pomembno je le to, da vgrajena konfiguracija elektromotorja (in zobnikov s pripadajočimi deli) opravlja funkcijo relativnega vrtenja spodnjega dela glede na trup in da omogoča potek votle gredi mimo samega elektromotorja skozi celoten trup.Instead of implementation configurations, any electric motor and reducer can be used (reducer means a combination of gears or a gear for changing the gear ratio, or there may be no reducer), the only important thing is that the built-in configuration of the electric motor (and gears with associated parts) performs the function of relative rotation of the lower part relative to the hull and that it allows the hollow shaft to pass through the entire hull past the electric motor itself.

Elektromotor (E) (kot elektromotor je mišljen elektromotor s pripadajočim krmilnikom) in senzor (1), sta povezana z računalnikom (R) (z računalnikom so lahko povezani tudi različni moduli - bluetooth ali kakšen drugi modul za komuniciranje računalnika brezžično, GPS, giroskop itd. na način, da med seboj komunicirajo), ta (računalnik) je v izvedbenem primeru v glavi, lahko pa se nahaja tudi kje drugje. Računalnik je povezan z zaslonom na dotik (Z) (na zaslonu je grafični uporabniški vmesnik, preko katerega lahko uporabnik komunicira z izvenkrmnim motorjem in tudi upravlja določene funkcije npr. na njem so prikazani hitrost, kot obrnjenosti izvenkrmnega motorja in druge funkcije, ki jih izvenkrmni motor ima, npr. zemljevid, navigacija, poslušanje glasbe, gumb za aktivacijo avtopilota..; uporabnik lahko upravlja funkcije z dotikom preko zaslona, določene funkcije pa tudi na daljavo, npr. obračanje preko bluetooth povezave z ustreznim daljincem ali kakšnim drugim načinom za prenašanje podatkov na daljavo- lahko tudi preko žice), ki se nahaja na glavi na način, da je vsebina, ki jo zaslon prikazuje, vsaj v nevtralnem položaju izvenkrmnega motorja, vidna s plovila. V glavi (G), je tudi integriran zvočnik (lahko tudi več) (S), ki je obrnjen na način, da omogoča poslušanje zvoka v čolnu (prednostno postavljen pod krmilno ročico na sprednji strani, lahko pa je vgrajen tudi kamorkoli drugam na glavo; na slikah vidni 2 možni konfiguraciji - položaj zvočnika pod ročico in položaj zvočnika na vrhu glave (tak položaj le pri sliki 8)). (Elektromotor/-ji s pripadajočim krmilnikom, senzor, računalnik, zaslon ter zvočnik torej vse komponente, ki potrebujejo za svoje delovanje električno energijo - so vsi povezani z virom napajanja (na slikah ni označen). Prednostno je to odstranljiva polnilna baterija, ki se nahaja fiksno na glavi, lahko pa je vir električne energije tudi druge vrste in postavljen tudi poljubno drugam; npr. v plovilo, preko kablov pa je nato ta vir energije povezan z zgoraj naštetimi komponentami).The electric motor (E) (the electric motor with the corresponding controller is meant) and the sensor (1) are connected to the computer (R) (various modules can also be connected to the computer - bluetooth or some other module for wireless computer communication, GPS, gyroscope etc. in such a way that they communicate with each other), this (computer) is in the implementation example in the head, but it can also be located somewhere else. The computer is connected to the touch screen (Z) (the screen has a graphical user interface through which the user can interact with the outboard and also control certain functions, for example, it shows the speed, the angle of the outboard and other functions that the outboard the engine has, eg map, navigation, listening to music, a button to activate the autopilot..; the user can control functions by touching the screen, and certain functions also remotely, eg turning via bluetooth connection with a suitable remote or some other way to transmit data remotely - can also be via wire), which is located on the head in such a way that the content displayed by the screen, at least in the neutral position of the outboard motor, is visible from the vessel. In the head (G), there is also an integrated speaker (can be several) (S) which is turned in such a way as to allow the sound to be heard in the boat (preferably placed under the control lever on the front, but it can be installed anywhere else on the head ; the pictures show 2 possible configurations - the position of the speaker under the handle and the position of the speaker on top of the head (such a position only in picture 8)). (The electric motor/s with the associated controller, the sensor, the computer, the display and the speaker, i.e. all the components that require electricity for their operation - are all connected to a power source (not marked in the pictures). Preferably, it is a removable rechargeable battery that can be it is located fixedly on the head, but it can also be a source of electricity of another type and be placed anywhere else; for example, in the vessel, and this source of energy is then connected to the components listed above via cables).

Električni dvig izvenkrmnega motorja (glede na plovilo), oziroma trupa (T) in posredno glave (G) ter noge (N) deluje na način, da je električni aktuator (10) na eni strani premično (premika se lahko le vrtljivo v osi vpetja) vpet v nosilec (P), na drugi strani pa v trup na enak način, kot prej opisano za vpetje v nosilec (premika se lahko le v osi vpetja). Trup (T) je vrtljivo (vrti se lahko le na osi vpetja) vpet na nosilec (P). Nosilec (P) je namenjen pritrditvi izvenkrmnega motorja na plovilo. Aktuator (10) je torej vpet na način, da ob lastnem podaljšanju dvigne trup (T) glede na nosilec (P). Aktuator napajanje prejema iz kablov, ki potekajo iz vira napajanja, skozi votel mehanizem obračanja, preko slip-ringa (9) do aktuatorja. Slip-ring omogoča ohranitev elekrične povezave aktuatorja (10) z napajanjem, tudi ob neomejenem vrtenju glave in votlega obračalnega mehanizma (vrtijo se v osi (0) - torej relativno na aktuator), skozi katerega potekajo kabli (za povezavo z aktuatorjem).The electric lift of the outboard motor (regarding the vessel), or the hull (T) and indirectly the head (G) and the legs (N) works in such a way that the electric actuator (10) is movable on one side (it can only move in a rotational manner in the axis of attachment ) clamped in the bracket (P) and on the other side in the hull in the same way as previously described for clamping in the bracket (it can only move in the axis of the clamp). The body (T) is rotatably (it can only rotate on the mounting axis) mounted on the support (P). The bracket (P) is intended for attaching the outboard motor to the vessel. The actuator (10) is therefore engaged in such a way that it raises the body (T) with respect to the support (P) during its own extension. The actuator receives power from the cables that run from the power source, through the hollow turning mechanism, through the slip-ring (9) to the actuator. The slip-ring allows maintaining the electrical connection of the actuator (10) with the power supply, even with unlimited rotation of the head and the hollow turning mechanism (they rotate in the axis (0) - i.e. relative to the actuator), through which the cables pass (for connection to the actuator).

Vsi premični deli se lahko premikajo le v definiranih smereh. Vsi premični deli so vpeti tako, da so med njimi in deli glede na katere se premikajo, v primeru da po njih drsijo, ležaji (L)(označeni so le nekateri) z namenom lažjega drsenja. Vsi našteti sestavni deli, katerih oblika ni natančno definirana so lahko poljubne oblike in iz poljubnih materialov, do te mere, do katere to omogoča funkcionalno enako delovanje. Vsi našteti/označeni deli, so lahko iz različnih razlogov (lažja izdelava, lažja montaža itd.) sestavljeni iz več delov. Pomembno je le, da njihova kombinacija tvori celoto, ki ima funkcionalno enake lastnosti kot našteti/označen del. Vsi fiksno pritrjeni deli so lahko nepremično pritrjeni na poljuben način (npr. z vijaki, zavarjeni itd.). V opisu je z besedo os (v primeru da os, na katero se beseda nanaša ni bolj natančno definirana) mišljena os (0).All moving parts can only move in defined directions. All moving parts are clamped in such a way that there are bearings (L) (only some are marked) between them and the parts they move against, in case they slide on them, for the purpose of easier sliding. All the listed components, the shape of which is not precisely defined, can be of any shape and made of any materials, to the extent that this enables functionally identical operation. All listed/marked parts may, for various reasons (easier production, easier assembly, etc.) consist of several parts. It is only important that their combination forms a whole that has functionally the same properties as the listed/marked part. All fixed parts can be immovably fixed in any way (e.g. with screws, welded, etc.). In the description, the word axis (in case the axis to which the word refers is not more precisely defined) means axis (0).

Kot celota izumljen sistem krmiljenja deluje takole; v primeru, da uporabnik obrača (vrti okoli osi) glavo (npr. preko ročice), se zgornji del relativno premakne glede na spodnji del, ta premik senzor zazna in to posreduje računalniku (R), računalnik posledično ustrezno pošlje signal v elektromotor (E) za premik v smeri zmanjšanja tega relativnega razmika, dokler se ta relativni premik ne izniči ali skoraj izniči. V primeru, da uporabnik ne fizično obrača zgornjega dela, ampak da računalnik prejema navodila o obračanju na daljavo (lahko preko bluetootha, preko kablov itd.), se elektromotor (E) zavrti v smeri glede na navodila, ki jih računalnik prejme in sporoči elektromotorju (E). Spodnji del se torej zavrti okoli osi, pri tem pa zgornji del z zamikom sledi. Zgornji del pa sledi zaradi vzmeti, katere sila deluje v smeri izenačitve relativnega premika. Vzmet mora biti zato dovolj močna, da zgornji del, v primeru, da ga nobena dodatna zunanja sila ne zavira pri obračanju, sledi obračanju spodnjega dela v takšnem razmiku, da je prostemu očesu to relativno odstopanje nezaznavno.As a whole, the invented control system works as follows; in the event that the user turns (rotates around the axis) the head (e.g. via the lever), the upper part moves relative to the lower part, the sensor detects this movement and transmits it to the computer (R), the computer then accordingly sends a signal to the electric motor (E ) to move in the direction of decreasing this relative spacing until this relative displacement is zero or nearly zero. In the event that the user does not physically turn the upper part, but that the computer receives instructions about turning remotely (it can be via bluetooth, via cables, etc.), the electric motor (E) rotates in the direction according to the instructions that the computer receives and communicates to the electric motor (E). The lower part therefore rotates around the axis, while the upper part follows with a lag. The upper part follows due to the spring, the force of which acts in the direction of equalizing the relative displacement. The spring must therefore be strong enough so that the upper part, in the event that no additional external force prevents it from turning, follows the turning of the lower part at such a distance that this relative deviation is imperceptible to the naked eye.

Outboard motor according to Claim 1, characterized in that the reversing electric motor is arranged in such a way that the housing of the electric motor (E2) is fixed to the hollow shaft of the lower part (20) in such a way that its longer dimension is placed vertically; via its output drive shaft, the electric motor is connected to the reducer (7), through which the gear (8) is rotated in comparison with the reduced speed output shaft, movably mounted in the toothed wall (6) of the fuselage, in such a way that the gear can rotate indefinitely, meaning any angle, and is constantly attached to the toothed wall, which in terms of floor plan forms a circle on which the teeth are; the electric motor (E2) is mounted in such a way that during its operation, ie when its shaft rotates, a gear (8) rotates via a reducer, which moves along the toothed wall of the hull (6), thus turning the lower part (19). , 20) and indirectly also the upper part (15,16) with respect to the torso (T); since the toothed wall (6) has a round ground plan, it maintains the same distance to the toothed wall regardless of rotation and can consequently, indefinitely, mean any angle, rotate the head (G) and the leg (N) with respect to the torso (T).

An outboard motor according to claim 1, characterized in that in order to reduce the speed of rotation of the lower part (19,20) relative to the fuselage (T), an integrated harmonic drive is integrated in such a way that the stator of the electric motor (30) fixedly connected to the hollow shaft, i.e. to the lower part, so that when the stator rotates about an axis, the hollow shaft which is part of the lower part also rotates about an axis; the stator embraces the hollow shaft; the rotor of the electric motor (29) embraces the stator and is fixed to the wave generator (27), the flex spline (26) is also fixed to the lower part; the circular spline (25) is fixed to the torso; the term fixed means that the two parts connected in this way cannot move relative to each other, the power supply cables access the electric motor from the hollow shaft through an opening in the hollow shaft, this shaft is part of the lower part.

Outboard motor according to Claim 1, characterized in that the reversing electric motor (E3) is fixed to the fuselage (T) with a housing; the electric motor is mounted in such a way that its longer dimension is placed vertically, the output drive shaft of the electric motor is connected to the reducer (7), through which, compared to the output shaft at reduced speed, rotates a gear (8) the outer toothed wall (12) of the hollow tube of the lower part, in such a way that the sprocket (8) can rotate indefinitely, meaning at any angle, and is constantly clamped to the toothed wall of the tube (12); when rotating, it therefore moves along the toothed wall; the electric motor (E3) is therefore mounted in such a way that during its operation, ie the rotation of the drive shaft, a gear (8) rotates via a reducer, which moves along the toothed wall (12) of the hollow tube of the lower part, thus turning the lower part 19.20) and indirectly also the upper part (15.16) in relation to the torso (T); Whereas the toothed wall of the tube is round on the outside, maintains the gear the same distance from the toothed wall regardless of rotation and can consequently, indefinitely, mean arbitrarily large angle, rotate the head (G) and the leg (N) relative to the torso; the axes of rotation on which the gears of the gearbox and the pinion (8) rotate are fixed in relation to the torso (T) and movable in relation to the lower part (19, 20); the gearbox (7) may also be missing and consequently the gear (8) is directly, ie without changing the gear ratio, connected to the drive shaft of the electric motor; electric motor (E3) power supply via cables; the cables inside the pipe rotate freely with the lower part relative to the electric motor; the cables pass from the pipe via a slip ring (9), which enables constant operation of the electric motor (E3), regardless of the rotation of the lower part and consequently the power cables inside it.

Outboard motor according to Claim 1, characterized in that it has an integrated touch screen (Z) located on the head in such a way that the contents displayed by the screen are at least in the neutral position of the outboard motor, i.e. the motor position when the axis of rotation of the propeller is directed in the direction of the length of the vessel and the engine is placed in the middle of the vessel in relation to the width visible from the vessel.

Outboard motor according to Claim 1, characterized in that it has in its head (G), preferably under the control lever, if any, an integrated loudspeaker or several loudspeakers (S) for listening to music and audible warnings attached to the a way that its membrane is not airtight.

Outboard motor according to Claim 1, characterized in that it has a built-in electric actuator for adjusting the height and inclination of the outboard motor and consequently the propeller.

Outboard motor according to Claim 10, characterized in that the actuator receives power via cables leading to the power supply via a slip ring, one or more, in such a way as to maintain an electrical connection on the actuator, despite the fact that the head (G) can rotate freely, meaning any angle, with respect to the support (P), where the actuator (10) is fixed.
