[0002] A lifeboat / raft is a ship's lifesaving device. Depending on their structure, they can be categorized as rigid or inflatable. To facilitate rapid deployment in an emergency, significantly shortening deployment time and saving critical time for escape, a quick-release mechanism is required.

[0003] However, the lifeboat and raft releasing devices currently on the market adopt a fixed-position external structure design, which causes them to occupy a large external space and can only release and lift a single lifeboat and raft. In the later stage, it is also impossible to perform bottom loading while releasing, resulting in great limitations in use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the lifeboat and raft releasing devices currently on the market adopt a fixed-position external hanging structure design, which causes the external space to be very large and can only release and lift a single lifeboat and raft. In the later stage, it is also impossible to carry out bottom loading at the same time as the release, resulting in great limitations in use.

[0006] The lateral guide rail is designed as an embedded structure, and the opening position of the lateral guide rail is provided with an inwardly recessed shrinkage guide plate.

[0007] The movable lifting frame includes a split frame arranged inside the lateral guide rail, internal support guide wheels installed on both sides of the split frame, lateral connection frames installed at both ends of the split frame and an external assembly frame installed on the split frame.

[0008] The electrically controlled lateral limiting hanger comprises an arc-shaped installation frame movably installed on an external assembly frame and a lateral adjustment support rod for controlling the flipping of the arc-shaped installation frame.

[0009] An external thread tightening frame with telescopic notches on both sides is provided at the end of the lateral connection frame, and an internal thread tightening sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the lateral connection frame.

[0010] An internal locking groove is provided on the inner wall of the external thread tightening frame.

[0011] The end portion of the hoisting cable of the top hoist is axially fixed with an end locking block that matches the internal locking groove.

[0012] The lateral connecting frame at one end of the split frame is locked and limited with the end locking block through the internal locking groove on the external thread tightening frame, and the other end of the split frame is locked and connected with the inner connecting steel cable through the external thread tightening frame.

[0013] A side guide groove matching the arc-shaped installation frame is provided on the outer side surface of the upper hanger.
