Detachable motor assembly and communication module
View Patent ↗A motor control system includes a housing and a mounting assembly. The housing includes a control module, a power motor, a steering motor, an electrification structure, and a communication structure. The housing is configured to be removably mounted within the mounting assembly. The communication structure includes a first signal line and a second signal line. The first signal line extends from the control module to the steering motor through a central portion of the communication structure. The second signal line extends from the control module to the power motor through the central portion of the communication structure.
1 . A motor control assembly and mounting system for a vessel, the system comprising:
at least one housing;
the housing including a control module, a power motor, a steering motor,
an electrification structure, and a communication structure; and
a mounting assembly;
wherein the at least one housing is configured to be removably mounted within the mounting assembly;
wherein the communication structure includes a first signal line and a second signal line;
wherein the first signal line extends from the control module to the steering motor through a central portion of the communication structure; and
wherein the second signal line extends from the control module to the power motor through the central portion of the communication structure.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the electrification structure supplies constant electrification to the power motor.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is comprised of a motor housing and a mounting housing.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the steering motor is configured to rotate the power motor with a pulley system.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting assembly is configured to removably mount the motor assembly within a vessel.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the mounting assembly is configured to automatically lock the motor assembly into place.
7 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the electrification structure includes at least one conductive ring and a carbon brush.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control module and the power motor are mounted on a rotatable shaft.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the power motor is configured to receive signals from the control module.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the electrification structure is concentric with the communication structure.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication structure.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication structure includes at least one gear transmission assembly and at least one bridge gear.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one gear transmission assembly includes a first gear and a first slip ring.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first slip ring is an electric slip ring.
15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the electrification structure includes a carbon brush holder and a turret.
