[0002] A winch is a lightweight lifting device that uses a drum-wound wire rope or chain to lift or pull loads. It can lift vertically or pull loads horizontally or at an angle. Winches come in two types: electric and hydraulic. They can be used independently or as components in machinery for lifting, road construction, and mine hoisting.

The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0022] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a double-brake winch directly driven by power includes: a winch shaft 1.1, a drive system and a hydraulic braking system. The drive system is used to drive the winch shaft 1.1 to rotate forward and reverse. The hydraulic braking system is used to control the braking and release of the winch shaft 1.1. The hydraulic braking system includes a first brake 2, a second brake 3 and a braking subsystem. The first brake 2 and the second brake 3 are both arranged on the circumferential side of the winch shaft 1.1. The braking subsystem drives the first brake 2 and the second brake 3 to operate synchronously to brake or release the winch shaft 1.1.
[0023] The power source of the driving system of the present invention can be motor driven or hydraulic driven. Multiple power sources can be flexibly set by the user to drive the winch shaft 1.1 to rotate.
[0024] On the basis of the above, when the power source of the drive system is hydraulic drive, the drive system includes an oil tank 4 and a hydraulic pump system, and the winch shaft 1.1 is connected to a first hydraulic pipeline 5 and a second hydraulic pipeline 6; the hydraulic pump system is used to drive the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 4 to enter through the first hydraulic pipeline 5 and return to the oil tank 4 from the second hydraulic pipeline 6; or the hydraulic pump system drives the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 4 to enter through the second hydraulic pipeline 6 and return to the oil tank 4 from the first hydraulic pipeline 5.
[0025] Specifically, the braking subsystem includes a first reversing valve 7, a second reversing valve 8, a first shuttle valve 9 and a second shuttle valve 10. The first brake 2 is connected to the first reversing valve 7, the first reversing valve 7 is connected to the first shuttle valve 9, the second brake 3 is connected to the second reversing valve 8, the second reversing valve 8 is connected to the second shuttle valve 10, a third shuttle valve 11 is arranged between the first hydraulic pipeline 5 and the second hydraulic pipeline 6, the third shuttle valve 11 is connected to the first shuttle valve 9 and the second shuttle valve 10, and the first reversing valve 7 and the second reversing valve 8 are also connected to the hydraulic oil tank 4. The drive system also includes a manual unlocking system, which includes a manual hydraulic pump 12. The manual hydraulic system is connected to a manual hydraulic line 13 and an oil inlet line extending into the oil tank 4. The manual hydraulic line 13 is connected to a first one-way valve 14, which is connected to the first hydraulic line 5. The manual hydraulic line 13 is connected to a second one-way valve 15, which is connected to the second hydraulic line 6. The manual hydraulic line 13 is also connected to a third reversing valve 16, which is connected to a speed regulating valve. The third reversing valve 16 is connected between the first hydraulic line 5 and the speed regulating valve. The manual hydraulic line 13 is also connected to the first shuttle valve 9 and the second shuttle valve 10. A two-way balancing hydraulic valve is connected between the first hydraulic line 5 and the second hydraulic line 6, and an overflow valve 22 is also provided between the first hydraulic line 5 and the second hydraulic line 6.
[0026] The specific working process of the present invention is described by taking the winch with two winch shafts 1.1 as an example: Figure 1As shown, both winch shafts 1.1 are equipped with a first brake 2 and a second brake 3. A motor drives a hydraulic pump 20, which serves as the power source for the winch 1. Hydraulic oil passes through a high-pressure filter 23 and is delivered to a manual on / off control valve. This hydraulic oil is then connected to the first and second hydraulic lines 5 and 6, allowing for manual control of the winch's forward and reverse rotation. Forward rotation is defined as flow in the first hydraulic line and out the second hydraulic line; reverse rotation is defined as flow in the second hydraulic line. When hydraulic oil enters the first hydraulic line, it activates the third shuttle valve 11, connecting it to the first and second shuttle valves 9 and 10. This hydraulic oil enters the corresponding first and second reversing valves 8, which in turn activate the first and second reversing valves 8 and the corresponding first and second brakes 2 and 3, unlocking them and driving the winch shaft 1.1 in forward rotation. A two-way balancing valve 18 ensures the order and stability of the flow between the first and second hydraulic lines 5 and 6, ensuring smooth flow. Of course, a one-way balancing valve 19 can also be provided in the second hydraulic pipeline 6, and the control end of the one-way balancing valve 19 is connected to the first hydraulic pipeline 5, thereby further ensuring the stability of the pipeline conduction. When the winch needs to be stopped, the manual switch valve 21 is controlled to be in the off state. At this time, the first hydraulic pipeline 5 and the second hydraulic pipeline 6 are blocked and cut off, and the control pressure of the first reversing valve and the second reversing valve 8 is reduced. Under the action of the spring, the hydraulic oil in the first brake 2 and the second brake 3 flows through the corresponding first reversing valve and the second reversing valve 8, and then returns to the oil tank 4 through the pipeline on the winch. The first brake 2 and the second brake 3 are reset under the action of the spring, braking the winch, thereby ensuring the braking reliability of the winch shaft 1.1.
[0027] When the winch needs to be reversed, hydraulic oil enters the second hydraulic pipeline 6, making the one-way balance valve 19 conductive, and driving the third shuttle valve 11 to be connected with the second shuttle valve 10 and the first shuttle valve 9, driving the first control and the second controller to be connected with the corresponding first brake 2 and the second brake 3. After the hydraulic oil enters the first brake 2 and the second brake 3, it drives the brake spring to be compressed, thereby achieving unlocking. Finally, the hydraulic oil flows back through the first hydraulic pipeline 5 to achieve reversal.
[0028] When a fault in the hydraulic drive system causes the manual on / off valve 21 to be shut off, and slow rotation of the winch shaft 1.1 is required, the manual hydraulic pump 12 forces hydraulic oil through the first check valve 14 into the first hydraulic line 5 and then through the second check valve 15 into the second hydraulic line 6. This ensures pressure balance on both sides of the winch shaft 1.1 and prevents stalling. During this process, the manual hydraulic line 13 communicates with the first and second shuttle valves 9 and 10, driving the first and second reversing valves 8 to engage, thereby unlocking the first and second brakes 2 and 3. The balanced pressure difference between the first and second hydraulic lines 5 and 6 ensures a stable and stationary winch shaft 1.1. Simultaneously, the manual hydraulic line 13 activates the third control valve and, under the control of the pressure regulating valve 17, regulates the pressure to maintain a constant pressure difference between the first and second hydraulic lines 5 and 6, thereby ensuring slow rotation of the winch shaft 1.1.
[0029] It is worth noting that the winch can be symmetrically provided with winch shafts 1.1 on both sides, each equipped with a first brake 2 and a second brake 3. The two winch shafts 1.1 rotate in opposite directions and at the same speed. Since the two winch shafts 1.1 rotate at the same speed but in opposite directions, the strands 1.3 can be positioned on the outside, improving stability while reducing space usage. This allows the drums 1.2 on the two winch shafts 1.1 to be positioned close together.
[0030] In order to ensure the reliability of the return hydraulic oil, an oil return filter 24 and an air-cooled cooler 25 are provided on the oil return line of the oil tank 4 .
