Propulsion control lever

Briefly describe the control lever of intelligence, automation, humanization, comfort, safety, reliability, digital, information, multi-function, integration of the design trend.

1.Intelligence and automation

Integrated more intelligent functions: Future propulsion handles will integrate more intelligent functions, such as automatically recognizing the ship's sailing status, load conditions, etc., and automatically adjusting the main engine power and propeller speed according to preset algorithms to achieve the best fuel efficiency and sailing performance.

Deep integration with the ship's automation system: The propulsion handle will be more deeply integrated with the ship's automatic driving system, power management system, etc., to form a highly automated ship control platform. For example, in conjunction with the navigation system, the parameters of the propulsion handle are automatically adjusted according to the route and sea conditions to achieve automatic navigation and obstacle avoidance of the ship.

2.Humanization and comfort

Optimized handling feel and ergonomic design: Designers will pay more attention to the handling feel and ergonomic design of the handle, so that the operator can maintain comfort and reduce fatigue during long operation. The shape, size and material of the handle will be optimized according to ergonomic principles to adapt to the hand type and operating habits of different operators.

Increase the ease and intuitiveness of operation: the operation of the push handle will be more convenient and intuitive, reducing the operator's operation error. For example, the use of touch screen, gesture recognition and other technologies, so that the operator can control the propulsion of the host through simple touch or gesture operation, while the handle is equipped with a high-definition display, real-time display of the host's operating parameters, the ship's sailing status and other information.

3.Safety and reliability

Multiple redundancy design: In order to ensure the safe navigation of the ship, the propulsion handle will adopt multiple redundancy design, that is, multiple independent control channels and sensors are set up, when one channel or sensor fails, the other channels or sensors can immediately take over the control to ensure the normal operation of the handle.

Enhanced protection performance: Considering the bad working environment of the ship, the protection performance of the propulsion handle will be further improved. The use of waterproof, dustproof, anti-corrosion materials and design to ensure that the handle can operate stably in wet, salt spray and other environments, while strengthening the impact and seismic resistance of the handle to cope with the ship in the course of turbulence and vibration.

4.Digitization and informatization

Data interaction and sharing: The propulsion handle will have stronger data interaction and sharing capabilities, and will be able to transmit and exchange data in real time with other equipment and systems on the ship. For example, the operation data of the main engine and the operation data of the propulsion handle are uploaded to the ship's monitoring system and management platform to provide data support for the ship's operation and maintenance.

Remote monitoring and diagnosis: With the help of the Internet of Things and remote communication technology, the propulsion controller will enable remote monitoring and diagnosis. Ship management personnel can remotely monitor the working status of the propulsion handle and the operating parameters of the host at any time and anywhere through terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers, so as to discover and solve potential problems in time.

5.Multi-function and integration

Integration of a variety of control functions: In addition to the traditional main engine propulsion control function, the future propulsion handle will also integrate more control functions, such as the ship's side thrust control, anchor control, winch control, etc., to achieve a single handle for the centralized control of multiple equipment on the ship, improve the ship's handling efficiency.

Integrated design with other equipment: The propulsion handle will be integrated with the ship's console, seats and other equipment to form an overall ship control workstation. This can not only save the space of the ship, but also make the control of the ship more convenient and efficient.
