[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A cable throwing and guiding device according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a base frame 100, a mounting frame 200 and a throwing tube 300. The mounting frame 200 is mounted on the base frame 100, and the throwing tube 300 is mounted on the mounting frame 200. A structure for throwing a cable head is installed in the throwing tube 300. In order to facilitate the multi-angle and multi-directional throwing of the cable head, the base frame 100 of this embodiment comprises a base 110 and a chassis 120. The chassis 120 is rotatably mounted on the base 110 around its own axis, the mounting frame 200 is mounted on the chassis 120, and the throwing tube 300 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 200, and the rotation axis of the throwing tube 300 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the chassis 120; refer to Figure 1 As shown, the extension direction of the rotation axis of the chassis 120 is the vertical direction, and the extension direction of the rotation axis of the casting tube 300 is the horizontal direction, which is convenient for adjusting the casting direction and height of the casting cable head, so that the casting tube 300 can cast the casting cable head at multiple angles and directions, which is suitable for various mooring situations.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2As shown, the casting tube 300 is provided with a accommodating chamber, and the first end of the accommodating chamber in the length direction is provided with an end plate 310, and a partition 400 is provided inside the accommodating chamber. The partition 400 is slidably installed in the accommodating chamber to separate the accommodating chamber into a first chamber 301 and a second chamber 302. The second chamber 302 is used to place the cable head. A first elastic structure 500 is installed in the first chamber 301, and the two ends of the first elastic structure 500 are respectively against the partition 400 and the end plate 310; the casting cable device of this embodiment also includes a power structure 600, and the power structure 600 has a first state connected to the partition 400 and a second state disconnected from the partition 400. When the power structure 600 is in the first state, it can drive the partition 400 to slide toward the first end in the length direction of the accommodating chamber. The power structure 600 in the first state can drive the partition 400 to slide toward the first end of the length direction of the accommodating chamber and compress the first elastic structure 500. When the power structure 600 is switched to the second state, the first elastic structure 500 releases elastic potential energy to push the partition 400 to slide toward the second end of the length direction of the accommodating chamber, thereby pushing out the cable head in the second chamber 302. Through the cable throwing device of this embodiment, the cable is thrown. The manual operation only needs to switch the power structure 600 between the first state and the second state, without manual throwing, which effectively reduces manpower consumption and increases the throwing distance of the cable head, thereby improving the mooring efficiency.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the throwing tube 300 is cylindrical, the first elastic structure 500 is preferably a spring, and the partition 400 does not completely separate the first chamber 301 and the second chamber 302. The first chamber 301 and the second chamber 302 are preferably connected. The power structure 600 can be adopted in various ways, such as the attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 The power structure 600 is a telescopic cylinder, the fixed end of which is connected to the end plate 310, and the movable end is detachably connected to the partition 400. There are many ways of detachable connection, such as bolts, latches, magnetic attraction, etc. When the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the partition 400, the retraction of the telescopic cylinder can drive the partition 400 to move toward the end plate 310 and compress the first elastic member, and then the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is separated from the partition 400, so that the first elastic member releases elastic potential energy and drives the partition 400 to move, so as to throw the cable head in the second chamber 302. By adjusting the distance that the partition 400 moves toward the end plate 310, the throwing of the cable head at different distances can be achieved.

[0044] It is conceivable that the Figure 1 and 2The telescopic cylinder used in the invention is located in the second chamber 302, but the telescopic cylinder can be installed on the outer surface of the throwing tube 300. For example, a strip hole is set on the side wall of the throwing tube 300, and the partition 400 is provided with an extension part extending out of the throwing tube 300 through the strip hole. Then, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder installed on the outer surface of the throwing tube 300 is connected to the extension part, and the fixed end is connected to the outer surface of the throwing tube 300 through a fastener. The fastener can be a bolt or other structure. In addition, the power structure 600 is not limited to the telescopic cylinder, and can also adopt a screw, nut structure, or a telescopic oil cylinder and other solutions, which can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the cable throwing and cable guiding device further comprises an auxiliary component 700, the auxiliary component 700 comprises a connecting plate 710 and a second elastic structure 720, the connecting plate 710 is connected to the second end of the length direction of the accommodating cavity, the second elastic structure 720 is installed in the second chamber 302, and the two ends of the second elastic structure 720 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 710 and the partition 400. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 710 is connected to the casting tube 300 by fasteners, and the fasteners can be bolts, buckles, etc. The two ends of the second elastic member are respectively connected to the connecting plate 710 and the partition plate 400, and are connected by fasteners. Therefore, when the partition plate 400 slides toward the end plate 310, the second elastic member is stretched and the first elastic member is compressed. Such a design can simultaneously utilize the elastic potential energy of the first elastic member and the elastic potential energy of the second elastic member, thereby increasing the casting distance of the cable head.

[0046] Furthermore, since the connecting plate 710 is disposed at the second end of the casting tube 300 in the length direction, a center hole 711 must be provided at the center position of the connecting plate 710 for the cable head to pass through, and the aperture of the center hole 711 should be larger than the diameter of the cable head.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the auxiliary component 700 further includes a stopper 730, which is installed in the second chamber 302 and is used to install the cable head. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 730 is provided to limit the position of the cable head so that the cable head is located at the center of the second chamber 302, so that the cable head can be better stressed to increase the throwing distance of the cable head; if the limiting member 730 is not provided to limit the position of the cable head, the cable head is likely to collide with the side wall of the second chamber 302 or the connecting plate 710 when hit by the partition 400, thereby resulting in a reduction in the throwing distance.

[0048] In an embodiment of the utility model, the limit member 730 is an elastic member; specifically, the limit member 730 may also be made of a fixed material, such as wood, metal or other materials that do not have compression properties. However, the use of an elastic member to manufacture the limit member 730 can avoid a rigid collision between the partition 400 and the limit member 730, thereby extending the service life of the partition 400 and the limit member 730.

[0049] In an embodiment of the utility model, a reinforcement layer 410 protruding from the surface of the partition 400 is provided at the center position of one side facing the second chamber 302, and the reinforcement layer 410 is installed on the partition 400 by bonding, fastener connection, etc.; the reinforcement layer 410 is used to contact with the limit member 730, thereby extending the service life of the partition 400.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the first end of the length direction of the limiter 730 in this embodiment is greater than the diameter of the second end, and the diameter of the middle part of the limiter 730 is smaller than the diameter of the first end; specifically, the first end of the length direction of the limiter 730 is connected to the connecting plate 710, and the diameter of the first end of the limiter 730 should be greater than the diameter of the center hole 711; the second end of the length direction of the limiter 730 is used to contact the partition 400, and the partition 400 will first contact the second end of the limiter 730 when throwing out the cable head located in the limiter 730. The diameter of the middle part of the limiter 730 can be linearly increased or reduced, or can be nonlinearly changed. In order to reduce production costs, the limiter 730 is preferably a conical spring. Using a conical spring as the limiter 730 is not only convenient for accommodating the cable head, but also has elasticity, low manufacturing cost, and is convenient for large-scale production.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the second elastic structure 720 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the limiting member 730. Figure 3 As shown, the second elastic member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the limiting member 730 to effectively protect the cable head, and the limiting member 730 can be set to be concentric with the casting tube 300 to reduce the contact between the cable head and the casting tube 300 or the connecting plate 710 when the cable head is thrown. At the same time, the second elastic member is set on the outer periphery of the limiting member 730, which can make the second elastic member larger, and the second elastic member can use a thicker spring, thereby also improving the throwing distance of the cable head.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, a roller 111 is provided at the bottom of the base 110, and a placement groove 121 for placing a cable is provided on the upper surface of the chassis 120. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the roller 111 at the bottom of the base 110 is preferably a universal wheel, so as to facilitate the casting cable device of this embodiment to move to a suitable position for casting the cable; the placement groove 121 is preferably circular or elliptical, so as to facilitate the winding of the cable in the placement groove 121.

[0053] Furthermore, the groove wall or the groove bottom of the placement groove 121 is preferably set to a hollow structure so that the cable placed in the placement groove 121 can drain water, thereby reducing the weight of the cable and facilitating the cable to be thrown farther.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a protruding positioning rod 122 is provided at the center position of the lower surface of the chassis 120, and a plurality of balls 123 are evenly spaced on the outer peripheral side of the positioning rod 122, and the balls 123 partially protrude from the lower surface of the chassis 120; a positioning groove 112 corresponding to the positioning rod 122 is provided on the upper surface of the base 110, and the positioning rod 122 is inserted into the positioning groove 112, and the balls 123 fall on the upper surface of the base 110. When the chassis 120 rotates around its own axis relative to the base 110, the balls 123 can effectively reduce the friction of the relative rotation between the two.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the outer wall of the throwing tube 300 is provided with a first connecting seat 320, and the mounting frame 200 is provided with a second connecting seat 210, and the first connecting seat 320 and the second connecting seat 210 are connected by a locking member. Figure 2 As shown, the locking member Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the locking member can be a structure such as a rope. The locking member is unlocked when it is necessary to cast the cable. When there is no need for mooring, the first connecting seat 320 and the second connecting seat 210 are connected through the locking member to prevent the casting tube 300 from rotating and reduce the chance of damage to the casting tube 300.

[0056] In the embodiment of the utility model, the mounting frame 200 includes two mounting rods 220 arranged opposite to each other, and the throwing tube 300 is arranged between the two mounting rods 220; the outer peripheral wall of the throwing tube 300 is provided with two radially protruding support shafts 330, and the two support shafts 330 are respectively rotatably arranged around their own axes and penetrate the two mounting rods 220. Figure 1 As shown, the mounting rod 220 is provided with a through hole penetrating the mounting rod 220 , a bearing is installed in the through hole, and the support shaft 330 is passed through the bearing.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the casting tube 300 is further provided with a radially protruding gripping rod 340, and the gripping rod 340 is used by the operator to adjust the position of the casting tube 300, so as to determine the casting distance.
