Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rope tightener, more particularly to a rope tightener with double tooth engagement points. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rope tightener is a tool for fastening or dragging target objects, which is suitable for transportation and other outdoor operations. The conventional rope tightener is usually composed of a bracket, a ratchet wheel, a pawl, a main shaft and a rope. The ratchet wheel, the pawl and the main shaft are all arranged on the bracket, and the ratchet wheel is arranged on the end of the main shaft. The ratchet wheel is in engagement with the pawl, and the ratchet wheel can rotate around the connecting position of the bracket, so that a one-way clutch structure is formed between the ratchet wheel and the pawl. The rope is wound on the main shaft, and a slot is also formed on the main shaft. For example, a safer multi-wheel tooth rope tightener disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN219382911U includes a main shaft, a connecting plate arranged on the main shaft, and the main shaft penetrating through the connecting plate at both ends. A ratchet wheel disc is arranged at the first end of the main shaft, and ratchet teeth are uniformly distributed on the outer periphery of the ratchet wheel disc. The number of ratchet teeth is 18-22. The tightness distance is short, which facilitates the reinforcement of the truck when loading large equipment. A stopper is arranged corresponding to the ratchet teeth. The stopper includes a stop block. A groove is arranged on the side of the stop block close to the ratchet wheel disc corresponding to the ratchet teeth. The shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the ratchet teeth. An arc-shaped handle is arranged on the side of the stop block away from the ratchet wheel disc. The tail end of the arc-shaped handle extends outward and upward. A rotating plate is arranged on the upper part of the stop block. The rotating plate is rotatably arranged on one side of the connecting plate. A rotating shaft is arranged corresponding to the rotating plate and the connecting plate. The rotating shaft connects the rotating plate and the connecting plate together. The rotating plate rotates around the rotating shaft. Two groups of through holes perpendicular to the direction are formed on the tail end of the main shaft. The through holes are used for inserting a crowbar. Two banding slot grooves are arranged on the middle part of the main shaft.

[0003] In use, the bracket of the above-mentioned existing rope tightener is fixedly installed on a vehicle or other tool. The user binds one end of the rope to a target object, and then rotates the main shaft by using a crowbar or other tool to tighten the rope, so as to fix or drag the bound object to move in the direction of the rope winding. The design of the rope tightener enables the above-mentioned operation to be conveniently and quickly performed even without professional tools. In addition, the one-way clutch structure formed between the ratchet wheel and the pawl allows the rope to be gradually tightened in one direction, and prevents the rope from being accidentally released in the opposite direction. Therefore, the operation efficiency of the rope tightener is improved, and the safety of the rope tightener when fixing goods is enhanced. However, when the existing rope tightener is used to drag a heavy target object, the single-phase clutch structure composed of the single ratchet wheel and the pawl will bear a huge load, which causes the ratchet wheel and the pawl to be easily worn or even deformed and broken. In this case, the rope cannot be effectively tightened, which exists a huge safety hazard. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above, in order to overcome the problem that the existing rope tightener bears huge load only through the single-phase clutch structure composed of a single ratchet and pawl when dragging heavy target objects, which causes the ratchet and pawl to be easily worn or even deformed and broken, and the rope cannot be effectively tightened, thereby causing huge safety hazards, the utility model aims to provide a single-phase clutch structure capable of locking the ratchet at multiple points, thereby effectively dispersing the load and ensuring that the structure is not easily worn or deformed, and the safety is high, and the rope tightener can meet the requirements of dragging heavy target objects.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present application is:

[0007] Preferably, a guide plate is formed on the front pawl, a guide groove is formed in the guide plate, the height of the guide groove increases from the middle to both ends, the both ends are located on both sides of the hinging position of the front pawl, and the lower end of the tension spring is embedded in the guide groove.

[0008] Preferably, the front pawl assembly further comprises a push plate, the push plate is sleeved on the front shaft, the push plate is located on one side of the guide plate, a handle is formed on the push plate, a push-pull groove is formed in the push plate, the push-pull groove is communicated with the guide groove, and the lower end of the tension spring is embedded in the guide groove and the push-pull groove.

[0009] Preferably, the rear pawl assembly comprises a rear pawl, a rear shaft and a torsion spring, the rear shaft is arranged on the support, the rear pawl and the torsion spring are sleeved on the rear shaft, and the two ends of the torsion spring are connected with the support and the rear pawl respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a push-pull head is formed on the rear pawl.

[0011] Preferably, a front hook body is arranged at the front end of the rope, and a rear hook body is arranged at the rear end of the support.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting member is arranged at the front end of the support, a limiting groove is formed in the limiting member, and the rope is slidably connected in the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, a sliding groove is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the ratchet, and the rope is wound around the ratchet through the sliding groove.

[0014] Preferably, the rope is made of high-strength fabric.

[0015] Preferably, the rope is a steel wire rope.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] The rope tightener of the utility model is composed of a one-way clutch structure between a rear pawl assembly, a front pawl assembly and a ratchet, so that two engagement points are formed on the ratchet when engaging, which jointly limit the rotation direction of the ratchet, effectively keeping the rope tight when dragging heavy targets, significantly reducing the risk when dragging heavy targets, and can disperse the load, increase the force or torque that the entire one-way clutch structure can withstand, and reduce the possibility of wear, deformation and fracture of the rear pawl assembly, the front pawl of the front pawl assembly and the ratchet when dragging heavy targets, thereby extending the service life.
