Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular to an emergency anchoring device of a chain stopper. Background Art

[0002] The chain stopper is an important device used on various engineering ships, mainly used to bear the anchor weight after lifting the anchor at the anchorage. The chain stopper is an essential part of the ship's anchoring system. When the ship is anchored at sea, the blade on the chain stopper limits the movement of the anchor chain and bears most of the load.

[0003] As in the prior art, application number: CN202211049652.5 discloses a chain stopper, including a base; a roller, mounted on the base; a gate knife, located on one side of the roller, one end of the gate knife is rotatably connected to the base, and the other end of the gate knife is a movable end; a hydraulic lifting mechanism, mounted on the base, and the lifting movable end of the hydraulic lifting structure is connected to the movable end of the gate knife. During use, the anchor chain is placed on the roller. When the anchor chain needs to be locked, the hydraulic lifting mechanism descends to drive the movable end of the gate knife to descend. After the gate knife descends into place, the gate knife can clamp the anchor chain between the roller and the gate knife. When the anchor chain needs to be loosened, the hydraulic lifting mechanism rises to drive the movable end of the gate knife to rise, so that the gate knife is away from the roller, thereby loosening the anchor chain and allowing the anchor chain to slide on the roller. This chain stopper drives the gate knife to rise and fall through the hydraulic lifting mechanism. Existing chain stoppers all use the gate knife to be fixed on the anchor chain, and the above-mentioned chain stopper uses a hydraulic mechanism to control the gate knife to rise or fall. Although it can easily control the fixation of the anchor chain, in an emergency, such as when the ship loses power, the hydraulic mechanism cannot be used, and the anchor chain is always in contact with the chain stopper blade. Under the influence of the deadweight of the anchor claw and the deadweight of the anchor chain, the blade is difficult to disengage by manpower, affecting the anchoring work in an emergency.

[0004] With the increasing safety requirements for ship use, it is necessary to design a device that can manually drop anchor in an emergency when the ship loses power or electricity.

[0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a chain brake emergency anchoring device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a chain stopper emergency anchoring device.

[0010] Furthermore, a hook is provided at the lower end of the screw guide shaft, and the hook is used to pull one end of the steel cable structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the release mechanism includes a base body, a release hook, and a release rod. The base body is fixedly arranged on one side of the vertical plate. The base body is hinged to the end of the release hook so that the release hook forms a clamp-shaped structure that can be opened or closed. The release rod is arranged at the open end of the clamp-shaped structure. One end of the release rod is hinged to the base body. The release rod is provided with a retaining structure for controlling the release hook to close on the base body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] A chain stopper emergency anchoring device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a base 1, a roller 2 is rotatably arranged in the base 1, the anchor chain is wound around the roller 2, and a knife 3 is arranged on the base 1 to limit the movement of the anchor chain on the roller 2. Figure 1As shown, the base 1 in the present device is basically the same as the existing structure, two vertical plates 4 are parallelly arranged in the vertical direction of the base 1, the roller 2 is rotatably connected and arranged between the two vertical plates 4, and a cable-releasing channel 5 for retracting and releasing the anchor chain is formed between the two vertical plates 4, the roller 2 is rotatably arranged in the cable-releasing channel 5, and the anchor chain bypasses the roller 2 for guided retraction and release operations, and a knife 3 is arranged at the front upper part of the roller 2, one end of the knife 3 is hinged on one side of the vertical plate 4, and the knife 3 can be lifted or lowered by the hinge, so that it can cooperate with the roller 2 to clamp and fix the anchor chain; when the ship is powered off or in some emergency situations, when the knife 3 cannot be opened automatically, it is considered very difficult to control its opening.

[0020] In order to solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a pulling mechanism 6 on the base 1, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the pulling mechanism 6 is arranged in front of the gate knife 3, and a release mechanism 7 is arranged on at least one side of the vertical plate 4. The pulling mechanism 6 and the release mechanism 7 are connected by a steel cable structure, and the steel cable structure is arranged through the chain hole of the anchor chain, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the release mechanism 7 fixes one end of the steel cable structure, and the other end of the steel cable structure is driven by the pulling mechanism 6 to apply tension to the anchor chain, thereby releasing the load on the chain stopper blade 3.

[0021] As an embodiment, the steel cable structure includes a steel wire rope 26, one end of which forms a rope loop 27, and the other end forms a blocking block 28. The blocking block 28 in this embodiment forms a conical structure, and the tip of the cone points to the end of the rope loop 27, and the conical blocking block 28 is used to form a limit. One end of the steel wire rope 26 with the rope loop 27 provides tension to the steel wire rope 26 through the pulling mechanism 6. In actual use, the steel wire rope 26 is arranged to bypass the chain hole of the anchor chain, so when the steel wire rope 26 is pulled, the pulling force can lift the anchor chain slightly. At this time, all or part of the weight of the anchor chain release end is transferred to the steel wire rope 26, thereby reducing the pressure on the gate knife 3, and then the gate knife 3 can be opened manually more easily.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the pulling mechanism 6 can be used to pull up the anchor chain with the wire rope 26 with relatively little effort. Specifically, the pulling mechanism 6 includes a cross shaft portion 8, a screw guide shaft 9, and a driving handle 10. The cross shaft portion 8 includes a short shaft rod 11 rotatably connected to the vertical plates 4 on both sides. A sleeve portion 12 is connected between the two rotating shaft rods. The driving handle 10 is rotatably arranged in the sleeve portion 12. The screw guide shaft 9 is arranged through the sleeve portion 12, so that the short shaft rod 11 and the screw guide shaft 9 are arranged in a cross shape; the screw guide shaft 9 is made to swing within a certain angle range in the cable release channel 5 with the short shaft rod 11 as the axis. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the pulling mechanism 6 rotates around the short shaft rod 11, Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that according to the different positions of the anchor chain pulled by the wire rope 26 and gradually tightened, the screw guide shaft 9 is kept in the same straight line with the wire rope 26 under the action of tension. This swing range can enable the screw guide shaft 9 to maintain maximum efficiency in pulling the wire rope 26, which can further save effort.

[0023] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the driving handle 10 includes a rotating portion 13 and a handle portion 14. The outer ring of the rotating portion 13 is rotatably arranged in the sleeve portion 12. An annular groove is arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve portion 12. A convex ring 36 is arranged on the outer ring of the rotating portion 13 so that the convex ring is rotatably arranged in the annular groove. Pressure bearings are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the convex ring respectively, thereby limiting the height position of the rotating portion 13 relative to the sleeve portion 12 and allowing the rotating portion 13 to rotate freely in the sleeve portion 12. It can be understood that the rotation of the rotating portion 13 is driven by the handle portion 14. The upper end of the rotating portion 13 is an exposed end 16, and handles are arranged on both sides of the exposed end 16 The exposed end 16 may be provided with a plurality of handles 14 around it, so as to facilitate the manual driving of the rotating part 13 to rotate, and the rotating part 13 is used to drive the screw guide shaft 9 to move axially when rotating; the inner circle of the rotating part 13 is provided with an internal thread 15, and the internal thread 15 is threadedly engaged with the external thread on the screw guide shaft 9. It can be understood that the screw guide shaft 9 is limited to rotate circumferentially relative to the sleeve part 12, which can be achieved by setting a card slot, and the screw guide shaft 9 is controlled to move up and down in the sleeve part 12 only by the rotation of the rotating part 13. When the screw guide shaft 9 moves upward, the steel wire rope 26 is pulled, and vice versa. The lower end of the screw guide shaft 9 is provided with a hook 17, and the hook 17 is used to pull one end of the steel cable structure. Specifically, the rope loop 27 at the end of the steel cable structure is sleeved on the hook 17 for pulling.

[0024] According to the above principle, when the steel cable structure is tensioned, the anchor chain can be pulled, and the pressure of the gate can be released, and then the gate can be operated; after completing the above operations, the steel cable structure needs to be released to release the anchor chain. Specifically, in this embodiment, the release mechanism 7 is used to loosen one end of the steel cable structure to set a blocking block 28. The release mechanism 7 includes a base body 18, a release hook 19, and a release rod 20. The base body 18 is fixedly set on one side of the vertical plate 4. The base body 18 is hinged to the end of the release hook 19 so that the release hook 19 forms a clamp-shaped structure that can be opened or closed. The release rod 20 is set at the open end of the clamp-shaped structure. The blocking block 28 cooperates with the release mechanism 7. Specifically, the blocking block 28 is a conical structure, and a conical hole that cooperates with the blocking block 28 is provided in the clamp-shaped structure, such as Figure 2 , 4As shown, the base body 18 and the release hook 19 are respectively provided with a semi-conical hole 29. When the clamp structure composed of the base body 18 and the release hook 19 is closed, the two semi-conical holes 29 form a conical hole, and a through hole 30 corresponding to the conical hole is provided on the vertical plate 4 to facilitate the wire rope 26 to pass through. Before installation, open the clamp structure, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the blocking block 28 is passed through the through hole 30 and the semi-conical hole 29 from the inner side of the vertical plate 4, and then the release hook 19 is closed. After closing, the release rod 20 is clamped on the release hook 19, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, specifically, one end of the release rod 20 is hinged on the base body 18, and the release rod 20 is provided with a retaining structure 21 for controlling the release hook 19 to close on the base body 18, and the retaining structure 21 includes two trapezoidal limit blocks that can bite each other, and a first limit block 31 is fixedly arranged at the end of the release hook 19, and a second limit block 32 is arranged on the release rod 20, and the inclined surfaces of the two limit blocks are fitted to each other to form a bite shape, and the setting direction of the inclined surface is configured to be a state of getting tighter and tighter under the guidance of the inclined surface in a natural state; when the clamp-shaped structure is closed, the first limit block 31 of the release rod 20 is clamped on the second limit block 32, so when the wire rope 26 is tightened, the blocking block 28 can be clamped in the tapered hole to form a limit.

[0025] The other end of the release rod 20 is a pulling end 22, which drives the release rod 20 to rotate and release the limit on the release hook 19. The pulling end 22 is arranged at the upper end of the release rod 20, and a hole is arranged on it, which can be remotely controlled by pulling the wire to control the release rod 20 to rotate, thereby releasing the limit on the release hook 19, forming a Figure 4 As shown, the stopper 28 is not restricted and can be released from the through hole 30. The stopper 28 is smaller than the chain hole so that the stopper 28 can pass through the chain hole. Therefore, the operation of releasing the anchor chain can be completed.

[0026] In order to enable the release hook 19 to open quickly and form a support after the release rod 20 is pulled up to prevent it from falling back again, the device is provided with an elastic member on the upper end surface of the base body 18, and a countersunk hole 35 is provided on the upper end surface of the base body 18. A spring 33 is provided in the countersunk hole 35, and a push rod 34 is provided on the upper side of the spring 33. The push rod 34 will be compressed when the release hook 19 is closed. When the release hook 19 is released, the release hook 19 can be quickly popped open under the action of the spring 33.

[0027] Furthermore, the release mechanism 7 is also provided with a safety pin 23. In order to avoid misoperation, the safety pin 23 needs to be inserted throughout the gate opening process to prevent the release hook 19 from popping open. When the gate operation is completed and the surrounding personnel maintain a safe distance, the safety pin 23 is pulled out and then the release rod 20 is pulled. Specifically, Figure 2-4As shown, the release rod 20 and the release hook 19 are provided with an overlapping portion 24, and a pin hole 25 for inserting a safety pin 23 is provided in the overlapping portion 24. The safety pin 23 is inserted into the pin hole 25 so that the release hook 19 and the release rod 20 are integrated. The safety pin 23 can be inserted into the pin holes 25 of the release rod 20 and the release hook 19 in sequence to connect the two together, and the release hook 19 can be normally popped open after being pulled out.

[0028] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
