Key design points of multi-functional control lever for yachts
The multi-functional control lever of a yacht is the core interactive component connecting the driver and the propulsion system. Its design needs to take into account operational efficiency, safety, ergonomics and environmental adaptability.
I. Functional Design: Precision and Practicality
1. Core function priority: Ensure precise throttling (speed regulation) and gear shifting (forward/reverse/neutral) operations, linear travel, moderate damping, and gear shifting should be equipped with a locking mechanism (such as press to unlock) to prevent accidental touch.
2. Simplified additional functions: Integrate the left and right selection requirements of the handle.
-------------------------------------------
II. Ergonomics: Comfort and Efficiency
1. Grip fit: Anti-slip material (rubber/textured metal), fits the curvature of the palm, and is easy to grip in damp environments.
2. Reasonable installation: The distance is compatible with the steering wheel and the seat. When operating, the arm can exert force naturally and the line of sight does not need to shift significantly.
-------------------------------------------
III. Feedback Mechanism: Clear and perceptible
1. Mechanical feedback: Shift lag sensation, throttle damping changes (slightly increasing with rotational speed).
2. Electronic prompt: Pressing a key triggers a beep, and the instrument panel synchronously displays the function status.
-------------------------------------------
IV. Environmental Adaptability: Durable and durable
1. The protection grade is no less than IP67, resistant to salt spray, water and vibration.
2. Resistant to high and low temperatures (-20℃ to 60℃), UV-resistant, and made of anti-corrosion materials (such as 316 stainless steel).
-------------------------------------------
V. Security and Compatibility
1. High-risk functions (such as full-speed reversing) need to be physically distinguished from regular buttons (in terms of size/color).
2. Compatible with different power systems (such as NMEA 2000 interface), and reserved expansion interfaces can be used to add customized functions.
-------------------------------------------
VI. Harmonious appearance
1. The materials and craftsmanship (genuine leather/metal/carbon fiber) match the interior style of the yacht, with a unified color tone that is not jarring.
