Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anchoring devices, designs an autonomous anchoring / anchor replacement device based on multi-task requirements, and belongs to the field of mechanical equipment. Background Art
[0002] An anchor is a device used to secure a vessel. It is connected to the ship via an anchor chain. The anchor claw is dropped into the water, where it hooks onto a hard object or sinks into the seabed, anchoring the vessel and preventing it from drifting. However, during the actual anchoring process, factors such as water depth, seabed topography, currents, and wind and waves can adversely affect the anchoring process. Excessive water depth increases the tension on the anchor chain, causing the windlass to overload and prevent the chain from being retracted. The seabed topography is complex and varied, and obstacles such as coral and rocks can hinder the anchoring and retraction of the anchor, sometimes causing it to become stuck in cracks in the seabed. Currents and wind and waves can change the position and attitude of the vessel, causing the anchor chain to swing and pull, increasing wear and the risk of breakage. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues in anchoring and retrieving at sea, the present invention has designed an automatic multiple anchor-replacing device for anchoring small unmanned boats, unpowered sailboats, and small buoys. The device's anchor and anchor chain are designed as separate components. When retrieving anchor in complex environments, the anchor automatically detaches from the anchor chain, minimizing interference from external factors such as reefs, wind, and waves. Furthermore, the anchor is made of biodegradable cement and self-degrades in water, ensuring that discarded anchors pose no environmental risk. After discarding the old anchor and retrieving the anchor chain, a new anchor is automatically loaded, allowing this operation to be repeated N times (N being a natural number greater than or equal to 2).
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention is conceived as follows:
[0005] This automatic multiple anchor undocking / anchor changing device is divided into two parts: undocking and anchor changing. A honeycomb-shaped disc stores N (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) folding anchors. Driven by a central motor, the disc rotates freely. When changing anchors, the anchor connector at the end of the anchor chain docks with one of the folding anchors. The folding anchor and the anchor connector are connected by electromagnetic force. When the anchor is reeled in, the anchor connector automatically detaches from the folding anchor, abandoning the anchor and reeling in the chain. When it is necessary to change anchors again, the disc is driven by the motor to the position of the next folding anchor, and the anchor connector docks with the folding anchor again to complete the anchor change. This device can achieve rapid anchor changes and undocking and chain reeling.
[0006] According to the above invention concept, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A boat-borne automatic anchor-releasing and anchor-changing device suitable for multi-task requirements mainly includes two parts: anchor-releasing and anchor-changing. The anchor-releasing part includes a folding anchor and an anchor docking joint. The anchor-changing part is provided with multiple folding anchors. The connection and disconnection of the folding anchors and the anchor docking joint are controlled by electromagnetic force, and repeated anchoring is achieved by multiple anchor changes using multiple reserved folding anchors.
[0008] Furthermore, in the unanchoring part, the folding anchor and the anchor joint are connected by electromagnetic force. When the power is off, there is magnetic force, and the folding anchor and the anchor joint are in a connected state. When the power is on, there is no magnetic force, and the folding anchor and the anchor joint are detached.
[0009] Furthermore, the anchor changing part includes a winch, an anchor chain, a honeycomb disc, and a motor. The honeycomb disc is arranged on the buoy body. The anchor chain driven by the winch moves up and down in the cylindrical cavity of the honeycomb disc. N (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) folding anchors are arranged in the honeycomb disc, and the motor drives the disc to rotate freely.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following obvious substantial features and significant advantages:
[0011] (1) Quickly realize anchoring and retracting to improve efficiency.
[0012] (2) Automatic anchor removal and replacement is adopted to overcome the complex anchor collection environment.
[0013] (3) The anchor is made of biodegradable cement material and does not pollute the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0014] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention
[0015] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the unanchoring part
[0016] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of anchor replacement DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the autonomous anchor-releasing / anchor-changing device of the present invention comprises an anchor-releasing part 1 and an anchor-changing part 2 .
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the unmooring section includes a foldable anchor 4 and an anchor connector 3, which are connected by electromagnetic force. When powered on, there is no magnetic force, but when powered off, there is magnetic force. When anchoring, the power is turned on, the magnetic force disappears, the foldable anchor 4 is separated from the anchor connector 3, and the chain is retracted.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, a winch 5 drives the anchor chain 6 in an up-and-down reciprocating motion. A honeycomb-shaped disc 8 stores N (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) foldable anchors. A motor 7 is located in the center of the disc, driving the disc 8 to rotate freely. After retracting the anchor chain, the motor 7 drives the disc 8 to the position of the next foldable anchor. Then, driven by the winch 5, the anchor chain 6 docks with the new foldable anchor, completing the loading.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
