Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shipbuilding and ship maintenance, and specifically relates to an installation mechanism for a towing wire rope in a shipyard and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A floating dock is an engineering ship used for ship repair and shipbuilding. According to its operation characteristics, its typical cross-sectional structure is a huge concave shape, with dock walls on both sides and open front and rear ends.

[0003] When a ship enters or exits a floating dock, to prevent the floating inertia of the ship from colliding with the dock wall, most floating docks are equipped with a ship entering and exiting towing system. The towing system generally consists of components such as a towing cart, a cart track, a wire rope, a fixed pulley, and a wire rope winch. Its working principle is that the cart track is arranged longitudinally along the dock wall, connecting the towing cart, the wire rope, and the friction winch in series to form a coherent operating system. The direction of the wire rope is restricted by the fixed pulley. When the friction winch rotates, it drives the wire rope to drag the towing cart to move along the cart track. By reversing the winch, the walking direction of the cart can be changed. A towing hook is provided on the cart, and the two sides of the ship entering and exiting the dock are fixed to the towing cart through mooring cables or wire ropes. The friction winch drives the towing cart to move along the track, driving the ship to enter and exit the dock orderly and smoothly.

[0004] There are two common methods for installing wire ropes: when the diameter of the wire rope is small, personnel can directly lead the wire rope to the winch and manually wind it for more than 3 - 5 turns, then drive the winch, and the wire rope is threaded and installed along the set path through the operation of the winch; when the diameter of the wire rope is large, generally professional installation tools are used and installed through a large installation winch. The towing wire rope of the towing system on a floating dock generally has a relatively thick diameter and a long length to meet the towing force requirements. It is impossible to install the wire rope only by manpower and requires a large installation winch. At the same time, it is necessary to deploy a professional external cooperation team for installation, resulting in a high installation cost. Moreover, due to the limitation of the ship type layout and the configuration of site equipment and facilities, the large installation winch cannot be arranged on the floating dock deck.

[0060] When the floating dock is performing ship in-and-out operations, first, the two sides of the ship entering and leaving the dock are fixed to the hooks of the towing carts by mooring ropes or steel wire ropes. By starting the friction winch 7 to rotate, the steel wire rope is driven to drag the towing cart 8 to walk along the trolley track. Then, by adjusting the rotation direction of the friction winch 7, the walking direction of the towing cart 8 is changed. Furthermore, the friction winch 7 drives the towing cart 8 to drive the ship to enter and leave the floating dock orderly and smoothly, effectively avoiding the collision between the ship and the dock wall due to floating inertia. The present invention arranges and completes the installation operation of the towing rope with typical ship equipment, has a simple structure, is safe and reliable, and has strong practicability.
