The present embodiment is an improvement on the basis of the second embodiment. Referring to
It can be understood that, the upper side surface of the power box may further protrude or recess relative to the upper side surface of the board body 3100, as long as it ensures that the power box is directly exposed to an outside of the board body 3100.
The present embodiment is an improvement on the basis of the second embodiment. The surfboard module 300 in the present embodiment further includes a cover plate. The cover plate is detachably connected to the board body 3100 to close the mounting groove 3101. In the present embodiment, external liquid is isolated by means of the cover plate, so that the power module 200 without a water-proof function can be selected.
The present embodiment is an improvement on the basis of the first embodiment.
In the present embodiment, an annular first sealing groove 2102 is formed in an outer sidewall of the inserting portion 2101 in a circumferential direction of the inserting portion 2101. The annular first sealing groove 2102 is connected to a sealing member 1300. In the present embodiment, the sealing member 1300 is an annular sealing ring. One part of the sealing ring is located in the first sealing groove 2102, and the other part of the sealing ring extends from the first sealing groove 2102. In the present embodiment, during use, the inserting portion 2101 is inserted into the groove 1101. The first power connection portion 1200 comes into contact with the second power connection portion 2200 to realize conduction. The sealing member 1300 simultaneously bears against a sidewall of the groove 1101 and a groove bottom of the first sealing groove 2102 to form a sealing structure. Referring to
By combining the present embodiment with the fourth embodiment or the fifth embodiment, the water proof of the power module 200 and a junction of the power module 200 and the driving module 100 can be realized, which is applicable to the usage scenario of using the water sports device.
It can be understood that, in other embodiments, a connection position of the sealing member 1300 can be changed. For example, an annular second sealing groove is formed in an inner sidewall of the groove 1101 in a circumferential direction of the groove 1101, the sealing member 1300 is connected to the inner sidewall of the groove 1101 through the second sealing groove. Therefore, the sealing between the first component 1100 and the second component 2100 can be realized as well.
Referring to
A through hole (not shown in the figure) is formed in the inserting portion 2101. The second power connection portion 2200 is inserted into the through hole in the inserting portion 2101, and includes a conductive socket 2210 extending from an end surface of the inserting portion 2101 and a second conductive portion 2220 extending from other walls on the second component 2100 different from a side in which the inserting portion 2101 is located. The other walls described here may be sidewalls of the second component 2100, or may be a bottom wall of the second component 2100.
In the present embodiment, the conductive contact between the first power connection portion 1200 and the second power connection portion 2200 is to insert the conductive inserting needle 1210 into the conductive socket 2210. Therefore, the stable conduction between the power connection portions can be realized.
In other embodiments, the first conductive portion 1220 is coaxial with the conductive inserting needle 1210. The second conductive portion 2220 is coaxial with the conductive socket 2210. Therefore, it may adapt to an assembly mode in which the water sports device is assembled sequentially in a single direction.

In the present embodiment, the driving module 100 further includes a connecting rod 1500 and an electric motor support 1600. An electric motor 1700 is connected to the electric motor support 1600. One end of the connecting rod 1500 is inserted in the second mounting hole at the bottom of the mounting box 1400, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the electric motor support 1600. The connecting rod 1500 can cause heavy components, such as the electric motor 1700 and the electric motor support 1600 to be located under the board body 3100 and away from the board body 3100. Therefore, the center of gravity of the water sports device is reduced, and stability is enhanced. A trace channel is disposed in the connecting rod 1500, and is communicated with the inner cavity of the mounting box 1400 through the second mounting hole. Therefore, a lead connected to the first conductive portion 1220 may be connected to the electric motor by using the trace channel, thereby realizing the transmission of the electric energy. A sealing connection between the connecting rod 1500 and the mounting box 1400 may adopt manners such as adhesive sealing, sealing ring sealing and the like.
The present embodiment is an improvement of the fifth embodiment. Referring to
In the present embodiment, a sealing gasket 2400 is further disposed. The sealing gasket 2400 includes a connecting portion 2401 and a sealing portion 2402. The connecting portion 2401 is tightly sleeved outside the second component 2100 through elastic force element. The sealing portion 2402 can be embedded in the sealing groove 2304 to realize sealing.
In the present embodiment, a pressing plate 2500 is further disposed. A plurality of through holes 2501 are formed in the pressing plate 2500. Positions and quantities of the through holes 2501 correspond to the connecting columns 2303. During connection, the second component 2100 is located in the mounting hole 2301. The sealing gasket 2400 is connected between the second component 2100 and the flange 2302. The pressing plate 2500 is finally pressed on a top of the flange 2302, and is fastened through a threaded fastener. Therefore, the second component 2100 can be driven to squeeze the sealing gasket 2400, so as to realize the sealing between the second component 2100 and the power box 2300.
The present embodiment is an improvement of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, a locking device is further disposed.
It can be understood that, in other embodiments of the present invention, at least one positioning plane 4131 can be disposed on an outer sidewall of the locking member 4100. That is to say, an outer contour of the locking member 4100 at the portion is a closed figure formed by a major arc and a straight line.
Referring to
During connection, the sleeving portion 4210 is sleeved on the tail end of the locking member 4100. Specifically, the positioning portion 4130 is inserted in the regular hexagon hole, and the connecting portion 4140 is inserted in the circular hole. A gap 4201 is formed between the connecting portion 4140 and the circular hole. An elastic member 4300 is located in the gap 4201. One end of the elastic member 4300 bears against the step surface, and the other end of the elastic member bears against a screw 4400 screwing in the threaded hole 4141. Based on the above structure, the handle 4200 can mutually bear against the limit planes through the positioning planes 4131 to drive the locking member 4100 to rotate. In addition, the handle 4200 can also be moved in an axial direction relative to the locking member 4100. In addition, when the handle 4200 is moved along the tail end of the locking member 4100 relative to the locking member 4100, the elastic member 4300 is gradually compressed with the movement of the handle 4200. The compressed elastic member 4300 can drive the handle 4200 to reset after an external force for driving the movement of the handle 4200 is vanished.
In the present embodiment, the elastic member 4300 is a spring. In the present embodiment, the handle 4200 is sleeved on the tail end of the locking member 4100. The elastic member 4300 is placed between a sleeving part of the handle 4200 and the locking member 4100, which is to reduce the volume of the entire locking device. In addition, in the present embodiment, the elastic member 4300 is fixed by means of the screw 4400 screwing in the threaded hole 4141. After the screw 4400 is screwed out, the elastic member 4300 and the handle 4200 can be successively taken out. Therefore, a compact structure and convenient disassembly are achieved.
It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the quantity of the limit planes corresponds to the quantity of the positioning planes 4131.
During use, the threaded portion 4110 of the locking member 4100 passes through the through hole 1404 and is screwed in the threaded hole, until the baffle block 4120 bears against the mounting box 1400. In this case, the fixation between the board body 3100 and the mounting box 1400 is completed. In addition, the handle 4200 is placed in the gap 1406. Due to the bearing against effect of two ends of the flange 1405, the handle 4200 can be merely swung in the gap 1406 with a small extent. If a size of the gap 1406 is set to be small enough, the handle 4200 can even stand still in the gap 1406. Therefore, the locking member 4100 cannot be rotated in the circumferential direction, to avoid the locking member 4100 from loosening. When it is to be disassembled, the handle 4200 is lifted along the tail end of the locking member 4100 (i.e. upwards), until the handle 4200 passes over the flange. In this case, the handle 4200 can be freely turned, so that the locking member 4100 can be driven to separate from the threaded hole.
The present embodiment is an improvement of the tenth embodiment. Referring to
The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or replacements all fall in the scope defined by the claims of this application. In addition, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features in the embodiments may be combined with one another without conflict.
