[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship cables, in particular to a bending-resistant ship cable and a tensioning and shrinking frame thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of shipbuilding and operation, cables are an important part of power transmission, signal transmission and control systems. The stability and reliability of their performance are directly related to the safe operation and overall performance of the ship. There are many types of ship cables on the market. Most ship cables have a cable core at the center and are protected by an insulating sheath on the outside.

[0003] However, traditional marine cables face numerous challenges during use, especially in complex and volatile marine environments. During installation and use, marine cables often undergo multiple bends, especially in confined spaces or complex wiring environments. Due to their thick outer insulation and poor bending properties, traditional cables are prone to performance degradation, insulation damage, and even breakage after repeated bending. This not only affects the normal use of the cable but can also have a serious impact on the ship's power system and signal transmission. In light of this, we propose a bend-resistant marine cable and its tensioning and retractable frame. Summary of the Invention

[0038] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped cover 32 is fixedly installed between the rear end rods of the two support frames 30. The outer diameter of the arc-shaped cover 32 is equal to the outer diameter of the support frame 30, and the cross-section of the arc-shaped cover 32 is arc-shaped; two symmetrical support rods 321 are fixedly installed on the left and right between the arc-shaped cover 32 and the bottom plate 33 below. The support rods 321 are arranged vertically, making the structure between the two support frames 30 more firm and stable.

[0039] Specifically, a rotating shaft 34 is fixedly installed between the front end plates of the two support frames 30, and a top plate 35 is also fixedly installed between the front end plates of the two support frames 30. The top plate 35 is located above the rotating shaft 34, so that the rotating shaft 34 can lift the cable.

[0040] Furthermore, a tensioning assembly 4 is provided on the top plate 35, and the tensioning assembly 4 includes a first cylinder 40 fixedly mounted on the top plate 35, and a U-shaped frame 41 is provided at the end of the telescopic shaft of the first cylinder 40, and a guide roller 42 is rotatably connected between the left and right side plates of the U-shaped frame 41, and the guide roller 42 is located above the rotating shaft 34, so that the guide roller 42 is used to properly press the cable onto the rotating shaft 34, which can achieve the effect of properly tensioning the cable, so that the cable can remain in a tensioned state during the subsequent winding process and will not loosen.

[0041] In addition, a fixing plate 401 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the first cylinder 40, and the U-shaped frame 41 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 401 by multiple fastening screws, which is convenient for fixed installation operations; two mutually symmetrical guide columns 43 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the U-shaped frame 41, and two mutually symmetrical guide sleeves 44 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 35. The guide sleeves 44 are sleeved on the guide columns 43 and are slidably connected with the guide columns 43, thereby guiding the movement of the U-shaped frame 41.

[0042] It is worth noting that a reciprocating assembly 5 is provided on one of the support frames 30. The reciprocating assembly 5 includes a second cylinder 50 fixedly mounted on the side of the support frame 30.

When the first cylinder 40 works, the telescopic shaft thereon extends and drives the U-shaped frame 41 and the guide roller 42 to move downward. The guide roller 42 moves downward, which can properly press the core shaft 1 and the outer layer 2 on the rotating shaft 34, so that the core shaft 1 and the outer layer 2 will not be too loose. In addition, since the guide roller 42 and the rotating shaft 34 can both rotate, the friction can be reduced. As the servo After the servo motor 36 is connected to the external power supply and is put into operation, the servo motor 36 starts to work, and the output shaft thereon rotates to drive the surrounding shaft 361 to rotate. After the surrounding shaft 361 rotates, the contraction and winding operations of the core shaft 1 and the outer layer 2 are realized. In addition, during the contraction process, the second cylinder 50 is started and made to work. When the second cylinder 50 works and the telescopic shaft thereon is extended or shortened, it can drive the guide ring 52 to move, and further drive the cable passing between the two guide rings 52 to move left and right along the rotating shaft 34, so that the cable is more evenly wrapped around the surrounding shaft 361.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
