Provided is a technology that facilitates a calibrating operation. A ship steering system for outdrive device includes an outdrive device, a control device that provides an instruction about a turning direction of the outdrive device, and a ship steering lever that instructs the control device about a traveling direction of a hull, and is provided with a monitor capable of displaying an image for matching an actual traveling direction with the traveling direction of the hull according to the instruction from the ship steering lever. The monitor shows the direction in which the ship steering lever is tipped, and indicates that the operation is proper if the direction in which the ship steering lever is tipped corresponds to a pre-set direction.

Ship steering system for outdrive device

In a ship steering system for an out-drive device including: an out-drive device; a hydraulic actuator configured to turn the out-drive device; a hydraulic controller configured to control the hydraulic actuator; a ship steering device configured to instruct a traveling direction to the hydraulic controller; and an emergency ship steering device capable of at least instructing the out-drive device to turn, the emergency ship steering device is capable of controlling the hydraulic actuator without involving the hydraulic controller.

Ship steering system for out-drive device

Provided is a ship maneuvering device that can increase operation sensitivity and enables smooth operation when simultaneously operating the rotation component determination unit and the oblique sailing component determination unit of an operation means. In the ship maneuvering device, a control devicecomputes a rotation component propulsion vector Trot for rotation and an oblique sailing component propulsion vector Tfor oblique sailing for left and right out-drive unitsA,B from the amount of operation of a joystick, calculates the combined torque T by combining the rotation component propulsion vector Tand the oblique sailing component propulsion vector Tfor each of the left and right out-drive unitsA,B, and computes the propulsion and orientation for each of the left and right out-drive unitsA,B.

Ship maneuvering device

A ship maneuvering device rotates a propeller at a lower rotational frequency than the rotational frequency of the minimum idling speed of an engine. A control device has a crawling speed navigation mode. A crawling speed navigation mode button that selects whether or not to execute the crawling speed navigation mode is connected to the control device. When the crawling speed navigation mode is selected, and the amount of operation of a joystick lever is at or beneath a baseline amount of operation Ms, the control device causes the rotational frequency N of the engine to be the rotational frequency Nlow of the minimum idling speed, and in accordance with the amount of operation of the joystick lever, varies the duty ratio D, which is the fraction of time Tthat a main clutch is engaged in a predetermined cycle T, within a range of no greater than 100%.

Conventionally, a main shaft of the wind turbine apparatus has awkward such as heaviness or difficulties of assembling, since the length of the main shaft must be long to support a generator rotor. It is requested originally to light heaviness of a wind turbine apparatus, since it supports a wind wheel and a generator etc. on a tower at prescribed height. A hubsupported on the one side of the main shaft, a generator rotorsupported on the other side of the main shaft, the main shaft housingand the generator housingare combined, the generator rotorhaving a backward opening is fixedly provided on the rear end of the main shaft, the main shaftand the generator rotorare detachably fixed through the opening, and a rotational fitting (rod bearing) for a pitch control shaftis at least disposed at the rear space of the generator housing

Wind turbine apparatus

A power generating and propelling system of a vessel has an electric power generating device () installed between an internal combustion engine () and a transmission (). A stator () of the generating device () is built in a flywheel housing () of the internal combustion engine () or a casing () connected to the flywheel housing (). A rotary shaft of the generating device () is disposed coaxially or eccentrically parallel to a crankshaft () of the internal combustion engine () or an input shaft () of the transmission () in the same direction with the crankshaft () of the internal combustion engine ().

Power generating and propelling system of vessel

An electric power generating equipment () is provided between an internal combustion engine () and a power transmission device (), and an electric motor () is disposed at an area of the power transmission device. An output shaft () of the electric motor () is disposed coaxially to any of rotary shafts of the power transmission device ().

A hydraulic and mechanical composite continuously variable transmission (HMT) is disclosed. The HMT includes a hydraulic continuously variable transmission (HST) and a mechanical speed change mechanism using a group of planetary gears as the differential part. The output rotation of the HST and the rotation of the input part of the mechanical speed change mechanism that receives power from the engine are transmitted to the differential part which translates the rotation to a speed change output shaft. The speed change input part is formed at one end of a pump shaft and the differential input part is coaxially formed at the other end thereof. Further, the operator may manually set the speed ratio via electrical means on the mechanical speed chance mechanism.
