Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship accessories, and more specifically, to a shark clamp chain limiting mechanism for a ship. Background Art

[0002] Shark clamps are a type of marine safety equipment that can hold cables or steel ropes tightly to prevent cables, steel ropes, and anchor chains from sliding, ensuring stable towing operations.

[0003] The shark pliers on the market are usually equipped with limiting mechanisms that can clamp each other on both sides of the moving position of the anchor chain. The hydraulic rod drives the two limiting mechanisms to rotate out of the moving surface of the anchor chain, and the two limiting mechanisms close together from both sides to form a smaller gap in the middle. The gap is only large enough for the anchor chain to pass longitudinally, so that the anchor chain is stuck between the gaps to prevent it from sliding. However, during towing, the anchor chain will fluctuate with the waves, making the chain links stuck in the gaps easy to jump, increasing the wear of the anchor chain and the shark pliers, and reducing the stability of the towing work. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a shark clamp chain limiting mechanism for ships.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: both the first and second snap rings are semicircular external gear rings, the first snap ring is meshed with the second snap ring, a motor is installed on the mounting column, a push gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor, the push gear is rotatably installed on the mounting column, and the push gear is meshed with the first snap ring.

[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the limiting mechanism includes a rotating plate, the rotating plate is cylindrical, the axis of the rotating plate is rotatably installed in the shell, a limiting plate is arranged on one side of the rotating plate, and when the rotating plate rotates out of the shell, two limiting plates clamp the chain ring.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a transfer rod is rotatably connected to the other side of the rotating plate, the other end of the transfer rod is rotatably connected to an active rod, the other end of the active rod is rotatably installed in a shell, a hydraulic rod 1 is rotatably installed in the shell, and the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 1 is rotatably connected to the rod body of the active rod.

When the anchor chain needs to be stopped, the hydraulic rod 1 of the limiting mechanism 1 is started, and the two hydraulic rods 1 retract at the same time, and the rotating plate is driven to rotate through the active rod and the transfer rod until the two limiting plates are vertical. The gap formed between the two limiting plates is equal to the diameter of the chain link, that is, when the two limiting plates are vertical, a section of the chain link is just clamped in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing the movement of the anchor chain. At this time, the chain link adjacent to it is in a horizontal state, and the limiting mechanism 2 is started. The motor drives the clasp 1 and the clasp 2 to rotate by pushing the gear.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0022] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directions such as "up" and "down" are usually used in reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or in reference to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" are usually used in reference to the left and right shown in the drawings; "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directions are not used to limit the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0024] A shark clamp chain limiting mechanism for a ship, comprising a housing 1, two limiting mechanisms 2 are symmetrically installed in the housing 1, the two limiting mechanisms 2 are stored in the housing 1 when not in use, and when the anchor chain needs to be stopped, the two limiting mechanisms 2 are clamped together to form a gap, and the gap width is equal to the diameter of the chain ring, that is, only one chain ring arranged in the longitudinal direction can pass between the two limiting mechanisms 2, and the chain ring arranged in the longitudinal direction is the first chain ring, and the two chain rings arranged in the transverse direction on both sides of the chain ring are respectively clamped on both sides by the two limiting mechanisms 2, so as to realize the stopping of the anchor chain;

[0025] The one of the two transversely arranged chain links closer to the sea surface is the second chain link. When stopped, the second chain link is located on the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a second limiting mechanism 4. The second limiting mechanism 4 is spaced apart from the two limiting mechanisms 1 2. The second limiting mechanism 4 is arranged on the center plane of the two limiting mechanisms 1 2. The second limiting mechanism 4 can pass through the inner side of the second chain link and extend to the top of the second chain link, thereby limiting the longitudinal displacement of the second chain link and preventing the anchor chain from jumping in the longitudinal direction.

[0026] Two auxiliary limiting mechanisms 3 are symmetrically installed on the shell 1. The auxiliary limiting mechanisms 3 are arranged on the side of the limiting mechanism 2 facing the sea surface. When the anchor chain passes through the shark clamp and extends into the sea surface, it passes between the two auxiliary limiting mechanisms 3, which to a certain extent limits the position of the anchor chain on the left and right, preventing the anchor chain from swinging too much and being thrown out of the upper end surface of the shell 1, reducing safety risks, and at the same time reducing the damage of the anchor chain swing to the limiting mechanism 2.

[0027] The limiting mechanism 2 includes a rotating plate 21, which is in a 1 / 4 cylindrical shape. The rotating plate 21 is rotatably mounted in the housing 1 with its axis. A limiting plate 25 is arranged on one of the two radial planes of the rotating plate 21. When the limiting mechanism 2 is not working, the limiting plate 25 is flush with the upper end surface of the housing 1. When the limiting mechanism 2 is working, the limiting plate 25 rotates upward until it is perpendicular to the upper end surface of the housing 1. At this time, a gap is formed between the two limiting plates 25 to clamp the anchor chain.

[0028] A transfer rod 23 is rotatably connected to the other radial side of the rotating plate 21, and the other end of the transfer rod 23 is rotatably connected to the active rod 24. The other end of the active rod 24 is rotatably installed in the shell 1. A hydraulic rod 22 is rotatably installed in the shell 1. The output shaft of the hydraulic rod 22 is rotatably connected to the rod body of the active rod 24. When the limiting mechanism 2 is not working, the hydraulic rod 22 is in an extended state. When the anchor chain needs to be stopped, the hydraulic rod 22 contracts, driving the active rod 24 to rotate upward, and the active rod 24 drives the rotating plate 21 to rotate out of the shell 1 through the transfer rod 23 until the limiting plate 25 is vertical.

[0029] The second limiting mechanism 4 includes a first snap ring 41 and a second snap ring 42. A mounting column 11 is provided in the housing 1. Two slide grooves 12 are provided on the mounting column 11 and the housing 1. The two slide grooves 12 are symmetrically arranged on the housing 1. The first snap ring 41 and the second snap ring 42 are respectively slidably connected with the two slide grooves 12. The openings of the two slide grooves 12 on the housing 1 are arranged in the ring of the second chain link.

[0030] The first snap ring 41 and the second snap ring 42 are both semicircular external gear rings, the first snap ring 41 meshes with the second snap ring 42, a motor 43 is installed on the mounting column 11, a push gear 44 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 43, the push gear 44 is rotatably mounted on the mounting column 11, and the push gear 44 meshes with the first snap ring 41;

[0031] When the limiting mechanism 2 4 is not working, the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 are both stored in the shell 1. When the limiting mechanism 2 4 is started, the motor 43 drives the snap ring 1 41 to rotate by pushing the gear 44, so that the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 are synchronously rotated out of the shell 1, that is, after the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 pass through the middle of the second chain ring, they extend to both sides of the second chain ring respectively, and the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 limit the jumping of the second chain ring from above, thereby improving the stopping effect.

[0032] The auxiliary limiting mechanism 3 includes a hydraulic rod 31, which is installed in the shell 1. The output shaft of the hydraulic rod 31 is vertically upward and connected to a stopper 32. When working, the hydraulic rod 31 pushes the stopper 32 out of the shell 1, and the two stops 32 limit the position of the anchor chain from both sides.

[0033] Specifically, a limiting mechanism 24 is provided near the limiting mechanism 2. When the anchor chain needs to be stopped, the hydraulic rod 22 of the limiting mechanism 2 is started, and the two hydraulic rods 22 are retracted at the same time, and the rotating plate 21 is driven to rotate through the active rod 24 and the transfer rod 23 until the two limiting plates 25 are vertical. The gap formed between the two limiting plates 25 is equal to the diameter of the chain link, that is, when the two limiting plates 25 are vertical, they just clamp a chain link in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing the movement of the anchor chain. At this time, the chain link adjacent to them is in a horizontal state, and the limiting mechanism 24 is started. The motor 43 drives the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 to rotate by pushing the gear 44. When the snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 are rotated out of the housing 1, they pass through the middle of the corresponding chain link and extend to both sides. The snap ring 1 41 and the snap ring 2 42 cover the chain link from both sides respectively, thereby preventing the anchor chain from jumping in the longitudinal direction, reducing the jumping and slipping of the anchor chain, reducing wear, and improving the stability of the towing work.
