The invention provides a rotator towfish retracting / releasing device. The rotator towfish retracting / releasing device comprises a mounting base on which a plurality of upright columns are arranged; the rotator towfish retracting / releasing device is characterized in that guide rails are arranged on the top ends of the plurality of upright columns, a trolley is mounted on the guide rails and is capable of moving along the guide rails, a traveling hanging bracket is mounted on the trolley, and an anti-vibration
pulley block and a circular-arc-shaped guide plate are arranged on the traveling hanging bracket; a storage rack is arranged on the mounting base; oscillating arm mechanisms are arranged on the two sides of the storage rack to form a slider-
crank mechanism; during working, the oscillating arms are capable of oscillating out of the mounting base or within the mounting base along with the traveling hanging bracket in a linkage manner; the rotator towfish retracting / releasing device is further provided with a retracting / releasing
winch; a towrope on the retracting / releasing
winch bypasses the anti-vibration
pulley block of the traveling hanging bracket and is connected with the rotator towfish. By adopting the structure and mechanisms, the traveling hanging bracket, the oscillating arm mechanisms, a
stern line, the towrope, the storage rack and the retracting / releasing
winch act together, the rotator towfish retracting / releasing device can complete the actions such as towfish retracting (releasing),
towing, emerging out of water, centralizing, reversing and storing, and capable of smoothly realizing the towfish retracting / releasing,
towing and storing functions.
