In this embodiment, the channel rubber sleeve 1 is made of rubber with a thickness of 50 mm, a width of 1000 mm, and a length of 2500 mm. Four semi-grooves (guide cable grooves 101) with a diameter of 30 mm and a length of 2500 mm and a spacing of 35 mm are dug on one side of the rubber for cable winding. Magic tapes are adhered to both ends of the rubber with glue. One end is installed with a magic tape hair patch on the front, and the other end is installed with a magic tape hard patch on the back. After winding around the winch 6, the magic tapes are pasted together for fastening. Rubber pull rings 102 with an outer diameter of 50 mm and a diameter of 15 mm are arranged at both ends of the long side of the channel rubber sleeve 1 at an interval of 500 mm. A thin rope 103 with a diameter of 15 mm is threaded through the pull rings and then butt-joined and tied to the winch 6 as the second fastening.

The steel pipe has a diameter of 10 mm, and the diameters of the two side rings are 1000 mm. They are respectively connected by four steel pipes. The middle connecting steel pipe has a length of 200 mm, an outer diameter of 20 mm, and an inner diameter of 10 mm. A steel pipe with a length of 240 mm and a diameter of 10 mm passes through the middle steel pipe. Triangular structures with a length of 800 mm are welded on both sides. The other two corner points of the triangular structure are connected by steel pipes with a length of 300 mm and a diameter of 10 mm to form a base. A U-shaped ring is installed on the middle connecting steel pipe to fix the cable end.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present invention, a winch cable-pulling cooperation tooling provided with a cable attitude adjustment device 3 is provided. This device is arranged on the channel rubber sleeve 1, and the cable before cable entry and after cable exit both pass through the cable attitude adjustment device 3. In this embodiment, the cable attitude adjustment device 3 is fixedly suspended on the channel rubber sleeve 1 through a support column. As Figure 4 shown, the cable attitude adjustment device 3 is a sliding ring for adjusting the cable attitude, which is assembled by a steel pipe 302 and a pulley 301. Four steel pipes 301 with a length of 160 mm and a diameter of 10 mm form a square shape. A pulley 302 with an outer diameter of 30 mm, an inner diameter of 10 mm, and a length of 120 mm is installed on the outside of the steel pipe 301. Two square steel pipe sleeves are connected by a connecting steel column 303, and drill holes are used for connecting the connecting steel column 303 with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 50 mm in series. The end plates at both ends of the connecting steel column 303 are round plates with a diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 5 mm.

[0041] As Figures 5 to 7As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a winch cable - handling fitting provided with a fairlead support roller group 4 is provided. The fairlead support roller group 4 is arranged inside the fairlead 7, applying a support force to the fairlead 7 to reduce the friction between the cable and the fairlead 7 when the cable passes through the fairlead 7. The fairlead support roller group 7 includes: an intermediate rotating shaft 401, with opposite threads provided at both ends and multiple through - holes provided in the middle; threaded steel pipes 402, connected to both ends of the intermediate rotating shaft 401 by threads, and the threaded steel pipes 402 at both ends have opposite threads. A semi - circular ring 403 is provided on the side of the threaded steel pipe 402 that is not connected to the intermediate rotating shaft 401; an adjusting rod 404, inserted into the through - holes in the middle of the intermediate rotating shaft 401. As Figure 7 shown, three or four fairlead support roller groups 4 can be arranged inside the fairlead 7 to support the fairlead 7. The fairlead 7 is generally arranged in the side opening for cable winding and unwinding. In this embodiment, the intermediate rotating shaft 401 is made of a steel pipe with an outer diameter of 20 mm, an inner diameter of 16 mm, and a length of 100 mm. Opposite threads are tapped at both ends of the steel pipe. The threaded steel pipe 402 is made of a steel column with a length of 160 mm and a diameter of 16 mm. Opposite threads are tapped at both ends, and through - holes with a diameter of 10 mm are drilled at intervals of 90° in the middle. When the intermediate rotating shaft 401 rotates, the two threaded steel pipes 402 move away from or close to each other. A semi - circular ring 403 with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 5 mm is welded to the other end of the threaded steel pipe 402, and rubber is provided to protect the fairlead 7 during support and prevent sliding. The semi - circular ring 403 can be used in combination with rubber to further reduce the friction force. A plastic roller 405 with a length of 250 mm, an outer diameter of 40 mm, and an inner diameter of 30 mm and an outer bearing with a length of 50 mm, an outer diameter of 30 mm, and an inner diameter of 20 mm are installed. A 20 - mm hole is drilled in the middle of the plastic roller 405 for an adjusting rod 404 with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 200 mm to be inserted for rotating support or disassembly of the threaded pipe.
