Description

Technical Field

[0002] Anchor chain refers to a special chain that connects the anchor and the hull and transmits the anchor holding force. It is usually composed of anchor end links, middle links and end links. According to the structure of the chain link, it can be divided into two types: stud anchor chain and studless anchor chain. The former is stronger than the latter. According to the manufacturing method, the anchor chain can be divided into cast steel anchor chain and electric welding anchor chain. The anchor chain can be used to fix ships, sea, ocean, lock and floating wind turbines.

[0031] The structure of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an anchor chain locking structure relying on gravity self-locking is provided in an embodiment of the utility model, comprising:

[0033] A bottom plate 1, a fixed bin 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, a winding wheel 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the fixed bin 2, a limiting block 11 is arranged on the winding wheel 10, an anchor chain is arranged on the winding wheel 10, a first rotating component 3 is arranged on the protruding part of the fixed bin 2, a second rotating component 4 is arranged in the fixed bin 2, and a tilting component 5 is arranged on both sides of the fixed bin 2; a first clamping block 6 and a second clamping block 7, the chamfered end of the first clamping block 6 is rotatably arranged on the first rotating component 3, the chamfered end of the second clamping block 7 is rotatably arranged on the second rotating component 4, a third fixing hole is opened on the triangular end of the second clamping block 7, a connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed in the third fixing hole, and the tilting parts of the two groups of tilting components 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 9, and the first clamping block 6 and the second clamping block 7 are symmetrically arranged.

[0034] The chamfered end of the first clamping block 6 is rotatably arranged on the first rotating assembly 3, so that the triangular end of the first clamping block 6 can rotate downward by itself due to its own gravity, and the tilting part drives the connecting rod 9 to move upward through the own gravity of the tilting assembly 5. The connecting rod 9 moves upward to drive the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 to tilt, and when the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 is tilted, the chamfered end will rotate at the second rotating assembly 4, thereby achieving the effect of driving the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 to tilt. The downward rotation of the triangular end of the first clamping block 6 and the tilting of the triangular end of the second clamping block can lock the anchor chain, which solves the problem of using driving equipment and plug-ins, which requires matching many equipment, resulting in high cost and occupying site space. The limiting block 11 is set on the winding wheel 10 to clamp and limit the anchor chain, thereby ensuring the stability of the anchor chain during use, and increasing the area of ​​the bottom plate 1 to prevent rollover.

The downward movement of the tilting part can drive the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 to move downward, thereby finally unlocking the anchor chain.

[0040] Fourth fixing holes are provided on both sides of the fixing chamber 2 , and a fifth fixing hole is provided on the chamfered end of the second clamping block 7 .

[0041] Specifically, the second rotating component 4 includes a second support rod 401, the second support rod 401 is fixedly installed in the fourth fixing hole, the second support rod 401 surface is rotatably sleeved with a second bearing sleeve 402, and the fifth fixing hole is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the second bearing sleeve 402; the second support rod 401 surface is fixedly sleeved with two groups of second limit plates 403, and the two groups of second limit plates 403 are respectively arranged at both ends of the second bearing sleeve 402.

[0042] The fifth fixing hole opened at the chamfered end of the second clamping block 7 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the second bearing sleeve 402, so that when the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 is tilted, it will drive the second bearing sleeve 402 to rotate on the surface of the second support rod 401, thereby achieving the effect of driving the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 to tilt, and the second bearing sleeve 402 can be limited by the second limiting plate 403 to prevent the second bearing sleeve 402 from sliding left and right on the second support rod 401, thereby driving the second clamping block 7 to move.

One side of one end of the tilting plate 501 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 9, and the connecting rod 9 is set in the tilting hole; a counterweight plate 502 is fixedly installed at the other end of the tilting plate 501, and a second connecting hole is opened on the counterweight plate 502.

[0044] The other end of the tilting plate 501 is driven downward by the gravity of the counterweight plate 502, and while the other end moves downward, the sliding hole opened in the middle part will rotate on the surface of the second support rod 401, and the sliding hole will rotate on the surface of the second support rod 401, so that one end of the tilting plate 501 tilts upward, and the tilting of one end of the tilting plate 501 drives the connecting rod 9 to move upward along the arc-shaped tilting groove, and the upward movement of the connecting rod 9 drives the triangular end of the second clamping block 7 to tilt upward, and a steel cable is arranged in the second connecting hole of the counterweight plate 502.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
