摘要： A ship propulsion unit (4) is fixed to a turning cylinder (8) which is turnable relative to a ship body. A pinion (12) of a drive shaft of a servo motor (3) is engaged with a turning ring (10) of the turning cylinder (8). The servo motor (3) is connected to a servo amplifier (2). A controller (1) and an operating wheel (16) on a bridge side and a control board (18) and a manual turn button (17) in a steering engine room are connected to the servo amplifier (2) via a changeover switch (19). A tracking transmitter (14) provided on the turning ring (10) is connected to the controller (1). A turning position command inputted from the operating wheel (16) causes the servo motor (3) to be driven. The actual turning position of the ship propulsion unit (4) is detected by the tracking transmitter (14), and servo control is performed to bring the deviation between the turning position specified by the turning position command and the actual turning position to 0. It is possible to switch control to the steering engine room and carry out manual control. Accurate turning position control can be realized for a turnable ship propulsion unit.

A generator (40) is driven by a drive shaft (30) of a main engine for driving a propeller (5) of the ship propulsion unit, and the electric power generated by the generator (40) is supplied to the servo amplifier (2). The electric power required to control the turning position of the ship propulsion unit (4) can be generated using a main engine.

摘要： A motor-driven system for steering a vehicle is characterized in that the steering control device 1 (e.g. steering-wheel) and the steering device (3) (e.g. steering-box) are connected through a motorized device (2) suitable to transmit to the steering device (3) a movement having an amplitude different from the movement given to the control device (1) by the pilot, said change of amplitude being controlled by a control unit according to various parameters. The pilot can thus steer with an effort comparable to the effort he would have made in the absence of the motorized device (2), but with a lower amplitude of the movement of the control device (1). This allows the use of control devices charaterized by very small global movements, such as for example devices in the form of a cloche, a handlebar or a joystick, yet retaining a precision in the steering control comparable with the precision of conventional highly geared-down steering devices. The invention is particularly useful in all those steering manoeuvres which require large movements of the control device (1) (e.g. parking), and for allowing the steering with conventional steering-wheels to people with little functional capacity of the upper limbs, which may have sufficient strength in the hands and wrists to hold the steering-wheel but not enough strength in the shoulders to move the arms enough for rotating the steering-wheel beyond a small arc of rotation.

摘要： A boat steering drive system has a manually operable helm unit (5) and an autopilot controlled drive means (69) which is drivingly coupled to the helm unit (5) by means of a system of gears (30, 32, 35, 38, 39, 50, 52, 55, 57, 64, 66; 30, 32, 35, 38, 39, 100, 110, 112, 115, 117, 118, 120). Disposed with the system ofgears (30, 32, 35, 38, 39, 50, 52, 55, 57, 64, 66; 30, 32, 35, 38, 39, 100, 110, 112, 115, 117, 118, 120) is a decoupling means (50) which is operable to break and reconnect the drive coupling between the drive means (69) and the helm unit (5) and a sensing means which detects when the operator of the craft is attempting to manually override the drive means (50). Upon sensing such manual override, the sensing means decouples the drive means (50) from the helm unit (5) by actuation of the decoupling means (50), and the drive means (69) then remains decoupled from the helm unit (5) until an instruction is received from the operator to recouple the drive means (69) to the helm unit (5)
