In addition, the lack of tension adjustment will cause the winch to operate unstably, and vibration or shaking may occur, affecting the normal use of the winch and the service life and safety of the cable.

[0003] Although the current workshop has designs for tension adjustment, it is not possible to automatically adjust the tension in real time according to the cable release speed or tension requirements.

When insufficient or excessive tension is detected, the tension compensation mechanism automatically adjusts the tension according to the tension demand of the cable, solving the problem of poor rope laying effect caused by the current cable being loose or too large, improving the service life and safety of the cable, and ensuring the stability and safety of the winch during use.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4As shown, a tension-compensated laying winch includes a winch body 1, the winch body 1 includes a base 11, a winch frame 12, a drum 13, a cable 14, a tension compensation mechanism 15 and a tension detection mechanism 16, the winch frame 12 is slidably arranged on the base 11, the drum 13 is arranged on the winch frame 12, one end of the cable 14 is wound around the drum 13, and the other end extends out of the drum 13, and is connected to an external bearing device through the tension compensation mechanism 15 and the tension detection mechanism 16 in sequence.

[0028] The present invention detects the tension of the cable during the process of releasing or reeling in the cable through the tension detection mechanism 16, and promptly discovers the situation that the cable tension is insufficient or too high, thereby avoiding equipment damage caused by insufficient tension or safety accidents caused by excessive tension, ensuring the safety of the winch working process. When insufficient or excessive tension is detected during the specific operation process, the tension compensation mechanism 15 automatically adjusts the tension according to the tension demand of the cable, solving the problem of poor rope arrangement effect caused by the current cable being loose or too large, thereby improving the service life and safety of the cable, and ensuring the stability and safety of the winch during use.

[0029] The tension-compensated laying winch of the present invention can meet applications with different tension requirements, and in the process of laying out or reeling in the cable, appropriate tension adjustment is performed through the tension compensation mechanism 15, thereby reducing the vibration and jitter of the winch and improving the stability of the winch during operation; and here, the design of the winch frame 12 being slidably arranged on the base 11 can enable the winch frame 12 to remain stable during operation, reduce damage caused by factors such as vibration and impact, and help improve the working efficiency and service life of the winch.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tension compensation mechanism 15 includes a mounting seat 151, a movable pulley mounting frame 152, a movable pulley 154 and a telescopic cylinder 155.

The movable pulley 154 is mounted on the movable pulley mounting frame 152, and the telescopic cylinder 155 is mounted on the movable pulley mounting frame 152, and its output end is fixed to the mounting seat 151; the movable pulley mounting frame 152 and the mounting seat 151 are connected by a rotating shaft 156, and the mounting seat 151 and the base 11 are connected by a bolt 157.

[0031] Here, according to the current cable release or cable retraction speed, the telescopic cylinder 155 is controlled to extend and retract to drive the movable pulley mounting frame 152 to rotate, thereby changing the position of the movable pulley 154 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the tension; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the output end driving the movable pulley mounting frame 152 to rotate when the telescopic cylinder 155 is in working state;

[0032] The present invention can automatically adjust the tension through the design of the tension compensation mechanism 15, ensuring that the tension of the cable remains constant during the process of cable release or cable collection, avoiding loosening or over-tightening of the cable due to tension fluctuations, thereby affecting the quality and efficiency of cable release or cable collection, making the cable release or cable collection process more automated and intelligent, reducing manual intervention and reducing operational complexity.

The sliding mechanism 18 includes a sliding rail 181, a slider 182 and a rope-arranging hydraulic cylinder 183. The sliding rail 181 has a pair and is symmetrically arranged on the base 11. The slider 182 has four and is symmetrically arranged in a group of two at both ends of the winch frame 12.
