摘要:
A ship steering device includes a handle which is mechanically separated from a rudder mechanism, a steering angle detecting unit that detects a steering angle of the handle, a rudder motor that drives the rudder mechanism, and a turn controller that controls, based on a steering characteristics map which associates a basic relation between the steering angle and a turn angle, the rudder motor so as to obtain the turn angle in accordance with the steering angle. The steering characteristics map has a characteristic such that, in a second steering region where the steering angle is larger than the steering angle in a first steering region, a change amount of the turn angle relative to the steering angle is large with respect to the first steering region where the steering angle is set from zero in advance.

A steering system for a marine craft includes a steering input shaft. The steering system also includes an electric power steering (EPS) system operatively coupled to the steering input shaft, the EPS system having an electric motor that drives rotation of a system output shaft. The steering system further includes a hydraulic pump operatively coupled to the system output shaft with a gear set, the hydraulic pump having a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to a steering input shaft axis. The steering system yet further includes a fluid reservoir located remotely relative to the hydraulic pump.

In a watercraft propulsion system, when a magnitude of a command value indicated by a propulsion signal falls within a first range in a composite operation, a controller controls a first outboard motor to increase a thrust in a propulsion direction and simultaneously causes a second outboard motor to reduce a thrust in an opposite direction. When the magnitude of the command value falls within a second range in the composite operation, the controller controls the first outboard motor to make the thrust in the propulsion direction greater than when the magnitude of the command value falls within the first range and simultaneously maintains the second outboard motor in a neutral state. When the magnitude of the command value falls within a third range in the composite operation, the controller controls the first outboard motor to make the thrust in the propulsion direction greater than when the magnitude of the command value falls within the second range and simultaneously controls the second outboard motor to generate a thrust in the propulsion direction.

A steering system for a marine vessel comprises a helm, a control head, and a joystick. The helm and control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a first CAN network. The joystick and the control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a second CAN network. The helm may provide user inputted steering commands on the first CAN network. The control head may provide user inputted shift and throttle commands on the second CAN network. The joystick may provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on either the first CAN network or the second CAN network.

In one embodiment, a system for steering a marine vessel includes a first marine drive having a first engine control module and a second marine drive having a second engine control module, where the first and second marine drives are connected by a mechanical link. A first steer-by-wire steering actuator is configured to rotate the first and second marine drives to steer the marine vessel, and a first actuator control module controls the first steer-by-wire steering actuator. The system operates such that the first actuator control module activates the first steer-by-wire steering actuator if either the first marine drive or the second marine drive is running.

A motor driven system for steering a vehicle is provided, the system including a steering control device and a steering device connected through a motorized device, the motorized device transmitting movement to the steering device, the movement having an amplitude different from the movement given to the control device by the driver. The change in amplitude is controlled by a control unit according to various parameters. In this way, the degree of movement of the steering control device is changed by the motorized device such that operators having diminished physical capacity are able to operate the steering control.
