Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ship anchor chains, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of ship anchors, anchor chains are used to connect the anchor to the ship's hull and provide the anchor with the holding force. As the name suggests, anchor chains are chain-like structures composed of many interconnected chain links. When anchor chains are in use, they are in seawater and various aquatic organisms, such as seaweed and shells, will adhere to them. Therefore, in order to ensure the service life of anchor chains, they need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] A search of invention patent CN113895595B reveals a hybrid-driven anchor chain cleaning and inspection robot and its operating method, comprising: at least one frame structure; a buoyancy system mounted on the frame structure for adjusting the robot's buoyancy; a drive system mounted on the frame structure; the drive system includes a propeller propulsion drive system and a wheel drive system; the propeller propulsion drive system provides power for underwater movement; the wheel drive system drives the robot to move on the anchor chain; an underwater observation and communication system mounted on the frame structure for underwater observation; a cleaning system mounted on the frame structure for cleaning the anchor chain; an active clamping and unfolding system mounted on the frame structure; and a detection system mounted on the frame structure.

[0004] The anchor chain cleaning device used based on the aforementioned patents and existing technologies still has certain drawbacks, such as:

[0005] 1. During the anchor chain cleaning process, seaweed or shellfish parasites will be removed and detached. The detached debris will be suspended in the surrounding seawater, which will affect the drive system in the above patent, such as the propeller propulsion drive system. The debris will entangle or damage the rotating propeller, affecting the normal operation of the entire cleaning device.

[0006] 2. In the above-mentioned patent, after cleaning the anchor chain, it is impossible to collect the cleaned material in a concentrated manner. It is dispersed and suspended in the seawater around the cleaned anchor chain, and will re-attach to the anchor chain after cleaning, causing new pollution to the anchor chain.

[0007] Therefore, we propose an automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to collect the cleaning materials in a concentrated manner, the suspension and dispersion of the cleaning materials, which easily affect normal operation and cleaning effect.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains, comprising:

[0010] A main frame, with a secondary frame fixedly mounted on top of it and concentric with it;

[0011] The lower section of the longitudinal guide rod in the sub-frame is fixedly equipped with a clamping assembly for positioning and fixing, and the upper section of the longitudinal guide rod is slidably connected with a clamping assembly for positioning and fixing.

The blocks and the cleaning brush are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the main pipe shell.

[0017] Preferably, the diameter of the semicircular ring tooth is greater than the width of the notch at the first transverse ring frame in the main frame, and its diameter is equal to the distance between the left and right gear components. Furthermore, its total arc length is greater than the arc length of the semicircular ring of the first transverse ring frame in the main frame. The semicircular ring tooth is slidably connected to the first transverse ring frame in the main frame.

[0018] Preferably, a collection box is vertically inserted into the cavity of the main casing, and the lower end of the collection box is fixedly connected to the third transverse ring frame in the main frame by bolts.

[0019] The collection box has a flip-open cover plate connected to the opening on the front side, and a second torsion spring is installed at the connection between the cover plate and the collection box. Furthermore, both the upper and lower ends of the central column of the cover plate are fixedly connected to the lever plate by bolts.

[0020] Preferably, the inner wall of the collection box and the inner cover of the box are both fixedly connected with inclined rubber backing strips, and the rubber backing strips in the collection box and the box cover are combined to form an "eight" shaped structure.

[0021] Preferably, the right side wall of the collection box is configured with a comb-like structure, and the comb-like ends of the collection box are pressed together with the right end of the box cover.

[0022] Preferably, the toggle plate and the stop block are arranged in a corresponding state, and the toggle plate and the stop block are connected by a pressing and fitting method, and both ends of the stop block are provided with arc-shaped chamfers.

[0023] Preferably, push-pull plates are telescopically slidably installed in the left and right cavities of the annular shell seat in the main tube housing, and a return spring is installed at the connection between the push-pull plate and the annular shell seat in the main tube housing. Furthermore, the pin of the connecting part in the push-pull plate is slidably connected to the front end of the connecting plate, and the connecting plate forms a rotating structure in the shell cavity of the annular shell seat in the main tube housing with the assistance of the shaft column.

[0024] The drive slot block is provided directly below the lever end of the linkage plate, and the drive slot block is slidably connected in the middle cavity of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame. The middle part of the drive slot block is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic electromagnet by bolts, and the telescopic electromagnet is fixedly installed on the cavity wall of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame by bolts.

[0025] Preferably, the push-pull plate and the lever portion in the shaft member are arranged at an inclination, and the lever portion in the shaft member is connected to the front pin of the push-pull plate in a sliding manner.

[0026] Preferably, the cavity in the drive slot block has an inverted "V" shape, and the slot wall in the drive slot block is connected to the lever end in the linkage plate by a pressing and fitting method.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains, through the closed setting, avoids the phenomenon of cleaning materials being dispersed in seawater during anchor chain cleaning, and also realizes the centralized collection of cleaning materials during anchor chain cleaning, avoiding new pollution to the cleaned anchor chain, and at the same time avoiding interference with the cleaning device itself.

[0028] 1. It is equipped with a main shell and a secondary shell. The secondary shell is placed at the gap of the main shell. The two secondary shells on the left and right are used to block the gap in the main shell. The rubber cover is placed in the upper section of the shell cavity of the main shell. Its cover is divided into several deformable baffles. Through the closed setting, a closed cleaning environment is formed in the self-collecting and cleaning mechanism. During the anchor chain cleaning process, the cleaning material is retained in the self-collecting and cleaning mechanism to avoid the phenomenon of the cleaning material being dispersed in the seawater, thereby better assisting the subsequent collection of the cleaning material.

[0029] Furthermore, the cleaning brush is snapped and fixed to the inner wall of the main tube shell with bolts. During the rotation of the main tube shell, the cleaning brushes on both sides clean the anchor chain, achieving direct contact cleaning, which ensures the efficiency and quality of the anchor chain cleaning process. In addition, the direct cleaning by the cleaning brush makes it easier for seaweed to get entangled on the cleaning brush, thus better assisting in the collection of subsequent cleaning materials.

[0030] Furthermore, after the drive block is driven, it automatically unfolds on the main shell through the cooperation between the connecting plate and the push-pull plate, and through the cooperation between the push-pull plate and the shaft. In addition, the elastic deformation of the return spring and the first torsion spring is used to reset the automatic folding of the secondary shell on the main shell. Through the automated operation of opening and closing of the secondary shell, the cleaning device can be conveniently loaded and unloaded with the anchor chain above or below water, thus achieving the purpose of convenient operation.

[0031] 2. It is equipped with a collection box and a box cover. By pushing the plate with a stop block, the box cover automatically flips and unfolds on the collection box. After the cleaning brush comes into contact with the comb teeth in the collection box, the cleaning material in the cleaning brush is cleaned and collected in the collection box. This realizes the centralized collection of cleaning material in anchor chain cleaning, solves the problem of cleaning material floating around the cleaning device, avoids new pollution to the cleaned anchor chain, and avoids interference with the cleaning device itself.

[0032] Furthermore, after the stop block loses its pressure on the deflector plate, the elastic deformation of the second torsion spring resets the plate, causing the box cover to automatically flip and close on the collection box. Through the linkage structure, intermittent opening and closing operations are achieved, preventing the collected waste from detaching and thus better assisting in the centralized collection and processing of the waste. In addition, the rubber backstop strips in the collection box and the box cover prevent the waste from detaching and also make it easier to retain the waste in the box cavity.

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Please see Figure 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic cleaning device for ship anchor chains, including a main frame 1 and a self-collecting and cleaning mechanism 5.

[0048] This automatic anchor chain cleaning device is used to clean the anchor chains of ships during berthing. Before using the device, installation is required; details are provided in the appendix. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the main frame 1 is divided into a first transverse ring frame, a second transverse ring frame, and a third transverse ring frame from top to bottom. These three are fixed together by two longitudinal frames on the left and right, forming an integrated structure. The auxiliary frame 2 is divided into a transverse ring shell and longitudinal guide rods. The longitudinal guide rods are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the transverse ring shell. The transverse ring shell contains a battery and a control mainboard (the battery and control mainboard are prior art and not described in the accompanying drawings). Since the telescopic electromagnet 24 is bolted to the cavity wall of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, its… The drive slot 23 is connected to the control main board in the auxiliary frame 2 by wires. After the drive slot 23 is installed, it is in a movable state and is locked in the middle cavity of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1. The middle part is fixed to the output end of the telescopic electromagnet 24 by bolts. When the telescopic electromagnet 24 is started to extend and operate, the drive slot 23 is driven to slide upward in the middle cavity of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1. Since the drive slot 23 is corresponding to the middle slot of the annular shell seat in the main shell 6, after the drive slot 23 slides upward, it is inserted into the seat cavity of the annular shell seat in the main shell 6 through the slot.

[0049] Since the rear section of the connecting plate 22 is provided with a shaft column, it is placed in the cavity of the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6 after installation. The upper and lower ends of the shaft column are respectively movably inserted into the upper and lower side cavity walls of the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6. Since the rear end of the connecting plate 22 is an inclined lever end, the lever ends of the left and right connecting plates 22 are combined to form an "eight" shaped structure. The distance between the lever ends of the left and right connecting plates 22 is less than the maximum width of the slot opening in the drive slot block 23. Since the drive slot block 23 is correspondingly located directly below the lever end of the connecting plate 22, the slot cavity is in an inverted "eight" shaped structure. When the drive slot block 23 slides upward, the slot wall contacts and fits against the lever end of the connecting plate 22. After the drive slot block 23 continues to slide upward, the inclined slot wall pushes and presses against the lever end of the connecting plate 22, so that the connecting plate 22 rotates and flips in the cavity of the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6 with the assistance of the shaft column.

[0050] Since push-pull plates 20 are movably installed in the left and right cavities of the annular shell seat in the main shell 6, the connecting plates 22 are symmetrically arranged about the horizontal central axis of the main shell 6. Since the front end of the connecting plate 22 is provided with a sliding groove, and the rear end of the push-pull plate 20 is provided with an integrated connecting part, wherein a pin is fixedly connected to the connecting part. After the connecting part is installed, it is movably locked in the front groove frame of the connecting plate 22, and the pin on the connecting part is movably inserted into the sliding groove in the connecting plate 22. After the left and right connecting plates 22 rotate and flip in opposite directions, the pin of the connecting part in the push-pull plate 20 slides at the front end of the connecting plate 22, and synchronously drives the left and right push-pull plates 20 to move.

[0051] After the push-pull plate 20 is installed, its rear section is movably locked in the cavity of the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6, and its front section is set in an extended state. Also, since a return spring 21 is installed at the connection between the push-pull plate 20 and the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6, the return spring 21 is arranged symmetrically about the horizontal central axis of the push-pull plate 20. After it is installed, it is movably inserted into the groove cavity of the push-pull plate 20, and one end of it presses against the groove wall of the push-pull plate 20, and the other end of it presses against the limit bolt (the limit bolt is threaded to the shell wall of the main pipe shell 6 and is movably inserted into the groove cavity of the push-pull plate 20). When the push-pull plate 20 is driven, it slides and contracts in the cavity of the annular shell seat in the main pipe shell 6, and the return spring 21 is squeezed and undergoes elastic deformation.

[0052] Because the lower end of the shaft member 11 is provided with an integrated paddle block, and the paddle block is provided with a sliding groove, the paddle block in the shaft member 11 is inclined to the push-pull plate 20. Also, because the front end of the push-pull plate 20 is fixedly connected with a pin, after it is installed, the paddle block in the shaft member 11 is movably locked in the front end slot of the push-pull plate 20, and the pin is movably inserted in the sliding groove of the paddle block in the shaft member 11. After the push-pull plate 20 retracts and slides, its front end pin slides on the paddle block in the shaft member 11, and drives the shaft member 11 to move.

[0053] Since the shaft member 11 is installed and movably connected to the connecting seat in the secondary tube shell 10, and is fixed to the connecting seat in the secondary tube shell 10 by bolts, its upper and lower ends respectively move through the upper and lower side walls of the connecting seat in the main tube shell 6, and are set in an extended state. Since the connecting seat in the secondary tube shell 10 is movably locked in the connecting seat in the main tube shell 6 after installation, the shaft member 11 is driven to rotate in the connecting seat in the main tube shell 6, so that the secondary tube shell 10 is flipped and unfolded in the main tube shell 6 with the assistance of the shaft member 11. Since a first torsion spring 12 is installed at the connection between the secondary tube shell 10 and the shaft member 11, the first torsion spring 12 is symmetrically arranged about the horizontal central axis of the connecting seat in the secondary tube shell 10. After installation, it is movably sleeved on the shaft member 11, and one end of it is locked in the connecting seat in the secondary tube shell 10, and the other end of it is locked in the connecting seat in the main tube shell 6. After the secondary tube shell 10 is flipped and unfolded, the first torsion spring 12 is subjected to force and undergoes elastic deformation.

[0054] Because the front side of the main shell 6 is notched, the secondary shell 10 is movably installed at the notch of the main shell 6. It is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the main shell 6. After the secondary shell 10 is flipped and unfolded, it loses its obstruction of the notch of the main shell 6. Also, because the front sides of the first transverse ring frame, the second transverse ring frame and the third transverse ring frame in the main frame 1 are notched, and the front side of the transverse ring shell in the secondary frame 2 is notched, the lower end of the longitudinal guide rod is fixed to the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1 after its installation, forming an integrated structure. It is located above the main frame 1 and is concentric. Furthermore, because the clamping component 3 is divided into three parts: a ring frame, an electric push rod and an arc-shaped clamping plate, the front side of the ring frame is notched. It passes through the notch in the secondary frame 2, the notch in the clamping component 3, the notch in the main shell 6 and the notch in the main frame 1 in sequence, and the cleaning device is placed on the anchor chain.

[0055] Based on the above, the telescopic electromagnet 24 is controlled to retract and operate. The elastic deformation of the return spring 21 and the elastic deformation of the first torsion spring 12 are used to reset the return spring. Through the cooperation between the shaft 11, the push-pull plate 20 and the connecting plate 22, the secondary tube shell 10 is driven to flip and close on the main tube shell 6. The two secondary tube shells 10 and the main tube shell 6 are combined to form a closed complete tube shell, which is in an active state and sleeved on the anchor chain after the collection and cleaning mechanism 5 is installed.

[0056] When using this cleaning device, it is fixed to the anchor chain with the assistance of the upper and lower clamping components 3. The self-collecting cleaning mechanism 5 is movably installed within the frame of the main frame 1. The anchor chain cleaning operation is performed by driving the self-collecting cleaning mechanism 5 to rotate within the frame of the main frame 1. Specifically, according to the appendix... Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the servo motor 9 is fixedly installed on the upper cavity wall of the longitudinal frame in the main frame 1 by bolts. It is connected to the control main board in the sub-frame 2 by wires. Since the upper and lower ends of the shaft of the gear 8 are equipped with bearings, it is placed in the upper cavity of the longitudinal frame in the main frame 1 after placement. The upper and lower ends of the shaft are respectively movably inserted into the upper and lower cavity walls of the longitudinal frame in the main frame 1. Since the upper end of the shaft of the gear 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 9, the servo motor 9 is started to work, driving the gear 8 to rotate in the cavity of the longitudinal frame in the main frame 1.

[0057] Because the outer wall of the upper section of the main tube shell 6 is provided with an integrated semi-circular ring tooth 7, the semi-circular ring tooth 7 is located directly above the upper limiting ring in the main tube shell 6 after it is installed. It is movably locked in the cavity of the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1. Also, because the diameter of the semi-circular ring tooth 7 is larger than the width of the notch in the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, and the semi-circular ring tooth 7 is meshed with the gear 8, the gear 8 drives the semi-circular ring tooth 7 to slide in the cavity of the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1 during rotation.

[0058] Since gear components 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the semicircular ring tooth 7, and the diameter of the semicircular ring tooth 7 is equal to the distance between the two gear components 8, and the total arc length of the semicircular ring tooth 7 is greater than the arc length of the semicircular ring of the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, when the semicircular ring tooth 7 loses meshing with the right gear component 8, it continues to maintain meshing with the left gear component 8, and vice versa. That is, by setting the two gear components 8, the semicircular ring tooth 7 is driven to rotate on the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1.

[0059] Since the outer wall of the upper section of the main pipe shell 6 and the outer wall of the lower end of the pipe are both provided with an integrated limiting ring, the diameter of the upper limiting ring is larger than the width of the first transverse ring frame notch in the main frame 1, and the diameter of the lower limiting ring is larger than the width of the third transverse ring frame notch in the main frame 1. The outer wall of the middle section of the main pipe shell 6 is fixedly connected to an annular shell seat by bolts, and the diameter of the annular shell seat is larger than the width of the second transverse ring frame notch in the main frame 1. After the main pipe shell 6 is installed, the upper limiting ring is movably locked in the frame cavity of the first transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, the lower limiting ring is movably locked in the frame cavity of the third transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, and the annular shell seat is movably locked in the frame cavity of the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1. The connecting seat is placed in the gap between the first transverse ring frame and the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, so that the main pipe shell 6 is movably positioned in the frame of the main frame 1.

[0060] Since the upper and lower limiting rings in the main tube shell 6 form a sliding structure on the first and third transverse ring frames in the main frame 1, and the annular shell seat in the main tube shell 6 forms a sliding structure on the second transverse ring frame in the main frame 1, and since the outer wall of the upper section of the secondary tube shell 10, the outer wall of the middle section of the secondary tube shell, and the outer wall of the lower end of the secondary tube shell 10 are all provided with integrated limiting rings, the upper limiting ring, the middle limiting ring, and the lower limiting ring are respectively adapted to the upper limiting ring, the annular shell seat, and the lower limiting ring in the main tube shell 6 and are set in a corresponding state, when the semicircular ring tooth 7 is driven to rotate, it drives the main tube shell 6 to move synchronously, so that the main tube shell 6 drives the secondary tube shell 10 to rotate within the frame of the main frame 1;

[0061] Since the cleaning brush 14 is installed and snapped onto the inner wall of the main pipe shell 6 with bolts, and is set in a vertical position, and the cleaning brush 14 is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the main pipe shell 6, the cleaning brush 14 cleans the anchor chain during the rotation of the main pipe shell 6. Since the anchor chain is placed in the complete shell of the main pipe shell 6 and the two auxiliary pipe shells 10, a rubber cover 13 is provided in the shell cavity of the upper section of the main pipe shell 6. The cover of the rubber cover 13 is divided into several deformable baffles, which are divided into a main body and a secondary body. The main body is fixedly riveted to the inner wall of the upper section of the main pipe shell 6, and the secondary body is fixedly riveted to the inner wall of the upper section of the auxiliary pipe shell 10. During the cleaning process, the cleaning brush 14 is protected by the rubber cover 13 to prevent the cleaning material from scattering.

[0062] During the cleaning process using this cleaning device, the cleaned materials are collected through the collection box 16. Specifically, according to the attached... Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, both the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the main pipe shell 6 are provided with integrated baffles 15, which are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the main pipe shell 6. Since both the upper and lower ends of the central column of the box cover plate 17 are fixedly connected with the lever plate 19 by bolts, the lever plate 19 is set in an inclined state after being installed. Since the baffles 15 and the lever plate 19 are set in a corresponding state, both ends of the baffles are provided with arc-shaped chamfers. The width of the baffles 15 is smaller than the distance between the rear wall of the collection box 16 and the inner wall of the main pipe shell 6. During the rotation of the main pipe shell 6, before the cleaning brush 14 contacts the collection box 16, the baffles 15 first contact and adhere to the lever plate 19. The baffles 15 push and squeeze the lever plate 19 to move, and the lever plate 19 drives the box cover plate 17 to move synchronously.

[0063] Because a collection box 16 is vertically inserted into the cavity of the main shell 6, the front of the collection box 16 is open, and an integrated connecting part is provided at its lower end. The connecting part at its lower end is fixedly connected to the third transverse ring frame in the main frame 1 by bolts. The box cover 17 is installed at the opening on the front side of the collection box 16. A shaft is fixedly inserted at the left end of the box cover 17. After it is installed, it is in a movable state and is locked at the opening of the collection box 16. The upper and lower ends of the shaft pass through the upper and lower boxes of the left end of the collection box 16 respectively, and are in an extended state. The box cover 17 forms a rotating structure on the collection box 16 through the shaft. The box cover 17 is driven to flip and unfold on the collection box 16, so that the right end of the box cover 17 and the comb tooth end of the collection box 16 lose their pressure and contact.

[0064] Since a second torsion spring 18 is installed at the connection between the box cover plate 17 and the collection box 16, the second torsion spring 18 is arranged symmetrically about the horizontal central axis of the box cover plate 17. After it is installed, it is movably sleeved on the central axis column of the box cover plate 17, and one end of it is clamped to the box wall of the collection box 16, and the other end of it is clamped to the cover of the box cover plate 17. After the box cover plate 17 is flipped open, the second torsion spring 18 is subjected to force and undergoes elastic deformation.

[0065] Because the right side wall of the collection box 16 is designed with a comb-like structure, its width is greater than that of the cleaning brush 14. During the rotation of the main casing 6, when the cleaning brush 14 contacts the comb end of the collection box 16, the stop block 15 continues to press against the lever 19, keeping the box cover 17 in an open, flipped state. The cleaning material on the cleaning brush 14 is cleaned and collected through the comb end of the collection box 16. According to the above, when the cleaning brush 14 loses contact with the comb end in the collection box 16, the stop block 15 loses its pushing against the lever 19, and the elastic deformation of the second torsion spring 18 resets, causing the box cover 17 to flip and close to collect the cleaning material.

[0066] Since the inner wall of the collection box 16 and the inner cover of the box 17 are both fixedly connected with inclined rubber backing strips, the rubber backing strips on the two are combined to form an "eight" shaped structure. With the assistance of the rubber backing strips, the cleaning material is prevented from falling off when the box cover 17 is in the open state.

[0067] When driving the cleaning device to move on the anchor chain, according to the attached... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right frames of the annular carrier in the clamping assembly 3 are each equipped with an angle-adjustable spiral propulsion assembly 4. After placement, the spiral propulsion assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the frame of the annular carrier in the clamping assembly 3. A drive motor is installed at the connection between the spiral propulsion assembly 4 and the annular carrier in the clamping assembly 3 (the drive motor is used to adjust the rotation angle of the spiral propulsion assembly 4, and the drive motor is existing technology, not described in the accompanying drawings, and both the drive motor and the spiral propulsion assembly 4 are connected to the control mainboard in the sub-frame 2 via wires). Since the electric push rod in the clamping assembly 3 is vertically fixedly installed on the frame wall of the annular carrier, with its output end inserted into the frame of the annular carrier, and its arrangement is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the annular carrier, a hollow rubber pad is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate in the clamping assembly 3, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod by bolts. The electric push rod in component 3 is connected to the control main board in sub-frame 2 via wires to form a circuit. The electric push rod in the upper clamping component 3 is connected to the control main board in sub-frame 2 via spring wires to form a circuit. Since the annular carrier in the lower clamping component 3 is connected to the lower section of the longitudinal guide rod in sub-frame 2 and the annular carrier in the upper clamping component 3 is connected to the upper section of the longitudinal guide rod in sub-frame 2, the electric push rod in the lower clamping component 3 is started to operate, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate in the lower clamping component 3 clamps and locks the anchor chain. The electric push rod in the upper clamping component 3 is started to operate, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate in the upper clamping component 3 loses its clamping and locking of the anchor chain. The spiral propulsion component 4 in the upper clamping component 3 is used to drive the upper clamping component 3 to move on the longitudinal guide rod in sub-frame 2. This process is repeated, and the upper and lower clamping components 3 move on the anchor chain in a peristaltic manner.
