Systems And Methods For Controlling Vessel Speed When Transitioning From Launch To Cruise
US Patent:
2018005, Mar 1, 2018
Filed:
Aug 31, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/252911
Inventors:
- Lake Forest IL, US
Andrew J. Przybyl - Berlin WI, US
Steven M. Anschuetz - Fond du Lac WI, US
Andrew J. Przybyl - Berlin WI, US

Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H 21/21
B63J 99/00
B63J 99/00
Abstract:
A method for controlling a speed of a marine vessel includes accelerating the marine vessel in response to a launch command. The method then includes holding the vessel speed at a desired vessel speed with a controller using feedback control. The controller phases in a derivative term of the feedback control in response to determining that the following conditions are true: (a) the vessel speed is within a given range of the desired vessel speed; and (b) an acceleration rate of the marine vessel is less than a given value.
System And Method For Controlling Trim Position Of Propulsion Devices On A Marine Vessel
US Patent:
2018005, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Aug 22, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/243101
Inventors:
- Lake Forest IL, US
Steven M. Anschuetz - Fond du Lac WI, US
Steven M. Anschuetz - Fond du Lac WI, US
Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H 20/10
Abstract:
A method of controlling trim position of two or more propulsion devices on a marine vessel includes receiving a running trim position for the two or more propulsion devices and receiving at least one of a steering input value or a roll angle of the marine vessel. An adjusted trim position for each of the at least two propulsion devices is then determined based on the running trim position and the steering input value or the roll angle of the marine vessel. A trim actuator for each propulsion device is then operated to move each propulsion device toward its respective adjusted trim position.
Method And System For Controlling Trim Position Of A Propulsion Device On A Marine Vessel
US Patent:
2018005, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Aug 22, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/243203
Inventors:
- Lake Forest IL, US

Steven M. Anschuetz - Fond du Lac WI, US
Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H 20/10
Abstract:
A method of controlling trim position of a propulsion device includes receiving a current engine speed and a current trim position of the propulsion device, and then detecting at least a threshold increase in engine speed of the propulsion device or at least a threshold drop in engine load on the propulsion device. A reduced trim position is then determined based on the current trim position, and a trim actuator is operated to move the propulsion device to the reduced trim position.

US Patent:
2018005, Feb 22, 2018

Appl. No.:
15/243285
Inventors:

Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H 20/10
G05D 3/00
G05D 3/00
Abstract:
A method of controlling trim position for a propulsion device on a marine vessel includes receiving a running trim position for the propulsion device, receiving at least one of a steering input value or a roll angle of the marine vessel, and determining a magnitude of the steering input value or a magnitude of the roll angle of the marine vessel. The method further includes determining an adjusted trim position based on the magnitude of the steering input value or the magnitude of the roll angle of the marine vessel, and operating a trim actuator based on the adjusted trim position to decrease the trim angle of the propulsion device below the running trim position while the marine vessel is turning.
Systems And Methods For Automatically Controlling Attitude Of A Marine Vessel With Trim Devices
US Patent:
2017029, Oct 19, 2017
Filed:
Jun 28, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/635984

Assignee:
Brunswick Corporation - Lake Forest IL
International Classification:
B63H 20/10
Abstract:
A trim control system automatically controls trim angle of a marine propulsion device with respect to a vessel. A memory stores trim base profiles, each defining a unique relationship between vessel speed and trim angle. An input device allows selection of a base profile to specify an aggressiveness of trim angle versus vessel speed, and then optionally to further refine the aggressiveness. A controller then determines a setpoint trim angle based on a measured vessel speed. If the user has not chosen to refine the aggressiveness, the controller determines the setpoint trim angle from the selected base profile. However, if the user has chosen to refine the aggressiveness, the controller determines the setpoint trim angle from a trim sub-profile, which defines a variant of the relationship between vessel speed and trim angle defined by the selected base profile. The control system positions the propulsion device at the setpoint trim angle.

International Classification:
B63H 20/10
G05D 3/00
B63J 99/00
G05D 3/00
B63J 99/00
Abstract:
A system and method control a trim device that positions a trimmable marine apparatus with respect to a marine vessel. A trim system is operated in an automatic mode, in which a controller sends signals to actuate the trim device automatically as a function of vessel or engine speed, or a manual mode, in which the controller sends signals to actuate the trim device in response to commands from an operator input device. An operating speed of the propulsion system is determined. When the operating speed has crossed a given operating speed threshold, the trim system is subsequently operated in the automatic or manual mode depending on whether the operating speed increased or decreased as it crossed the operating speed threshold and whether the trim system was operating in the automatic or manual mode as the operating speed crossed the operating speed threshold.
