Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric winch brakes, in particular to a brake control mechanism for an electric winch used in marine vessels. Background Art

[0002] An electric winch refers to a light and small lifting device that winds a wire rope or chain around a drum to lift or tow heavy objects, also known as a winch. A winch can vertically lift, horizontally or obliquely tow heavy objects. Winches are divided into three types: manual winches, electric winches, and hydraulic winches. The electric winch is the main one. It can be used alone or as a component in machinery such as lifting, road construction, and mine hoisting. It is widely used because of its simple operation, large rope winding capacity, and convenient relocation. It is mainly used for the lifting or horizontal towing of materials in construction, water conservancy projects, forestry, mines, docks, etc. At present, when a marine vessel is in use, an electric winch is needed to wind up the anchor chain or rope. The brakes of traditional electric winches are relatively simple, and it is inconvenient to replace the worn brake blocks. Moreover, due to the single braking position, the brake is prone to slipping problems. For this reason, we propose a brake control mechanism for an electric winch used in marine vessels. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a brake control mechanism for an electric winch used in marine vessels. The motor drives the screw to rotate to adjust the height of the brake block, which cooperates with the brake disc to brake the drum, and it is also convenient for replacement. At the same time, the hydraulic rod drives the pressing plate to press down to fix the anchor chain or rope, so as to prevent slipping problems during braking, and the problems in the background art can be effectively solved.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A brake control mechanism for an electric winch used in marine vessels, including a chassis and a brake disc;

[0005] Chassis: Brackets are fixed on both the left and right sides. A drum is rotatably connected inside the two brackets. The left end of the drum is connected to the right end of a coupling.

A fixing unit is provided on the front side of the chassis;

[0006] Among them, it further includes a controller, which is arranged on the left side of the chassis. The input end of the controller is electrically connected to the output end of an external power supply.

[0007] The coupling at the left end of the drum is connected to an external speed reducer to rotate it, thereby completing the winding and unwinding of the anchor chain or rope. When the brake block contacts the brake disc, it can brake the drum.

[0008] Further, the adjusting unit includes a fixed seat, a carriage, a screw rod, a connecting plate, a motor and a fixing bolt. The connecting plate is fixed to the side surface of the bracket.

[0010] Further, the fixing unit further includes a clamping frame, a rubber pressing block and an arc seat. Clamping frames are fixed to both sides of the top surface of the rubber pressing block. The clamping frames are correspondingly clamped into the clamping grooves on the surface of the pressing plate. The arc seat is fixed to the bottom surface inside the placing rack. The clamping frames are clamped into the clamping grooves to install the rubber pressing block, thereby increasing the stability of the pressing and fixing of the anchor chain or rope. At the same time, the arc seat can prevent large abrasions and wear during the retraction and release of the anchor chain or rope.

[0011] Further, it further includes a protective shell, a T-shaped block and a retaining rod. A T-shaped block is fixed inside the protective shell. The T-shaped block is correspondingly clamped into the T-shaped groove on the surface of the bracket. The retaining rod is rotatably connected to the top end of the outer side surface of the bracket. The T-shaped block is inserted into the T-shaped groove to install the protective shell, and the protective shell is fixed by rotating the retaining rod, which can protect against the splashing slag during braking.
