[0028] In view of the problems existing in the existing submersible signal buoy winding and unwinding system, such as improper selection of cable 2 material, mechanical structure wear, underwater environmental interference and limitations of operation control algorithm, these problems often lead to increased resistance or difficult to completely avoid the jamming phenomenon. Therefore, referring to Figures 1-5 The utility model provides a winding reel for submersible signal buoy, including winding reel 1 and guide mechanism, winding reel 1 is wound with cable 2, winding reel 1 one end is equipped with rotating shaft 3, rotating shaft 3 is driven and is connected with drive assembly, the outside of drive assembly is equipped with fixed shell 4, the guide mechanism includes guide support 5 and reciprocating transmission assembly, guide support 5 is installed on fixed shell 4, the top of guide support 5 is equipped with opening 6, reciprocating transmission assembly is slidably installed below the opening 6 of guide support 5, cable 2 is movably connected with reciprocating transmission assembly and passes through opening 6 and is connected with signal buoy.

[0029] The winch of the submersible signal buoy is used to optimize the winding and unwinding process through the integrated winding disc 1, guide mechanism and drive assembly. The specific working principle is as follows: when performing the release or recovery task of the signal buoy, the drive assembly is started, and the rotating shaft 3 at one end of the winding disc 1 is driven to rotate through the transmission connection. With the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, the cable 2 on the winding disc 1 will be orderly released or wound up. Specifically, one end of the cable 2 is wound on the winding disc 1, the other end is movably connected with the reciprocating transmission assembly, passes through the opening 6 above the guide bracket 5, and is finally connected with the signal buoy. During the release or winding of the cable 2, the reciprocating transmission assembly and the opening 6 cooperatively guide the travel path of the cable 2, effectively preventing the cable 2 from winding or knotting during the release or winding process, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the cable 2 during the release and winding process. This improvement not only improves the work efficiency and shortens the time cost of task completion, but also greatly reduces the risk of cable 2 breakage caused by excessive stress concentration. Further, it effectively avoids the inestimable consequences of data loss, equipment damage and even marine ecological damage, and provides users with a more comfortable and convenient use experience.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figures 1-4 , the reciprocating transmission assembly includes a reciprocating screw 7, a guide shaft 8, a first gear 9, a second gear 10 and a chain 11, the reciprocating screw 7 and the guide shaft 8 are arranged in parallel below the opening 6 of the guide bracket 5, the reciprocating screw 7 is rotatably connected with the guide bracket 5, a sliding block 12 is threadedly sleeved on the reciprocating screw 7, the other end of the sliding block 12 is slidably sleeved on the guide shaft 8, the first gear 9 and the second gear 10 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 3 and the reciprocating screw 7 respectively, and are transmissionally connected through the chain 11, and a through hole 13 is formed in the sliding block 12 to pass through the cable 2.

[0031] The reciprocating transmission assembly plays a crucial role in the wire reel for submersible signal buoy, which arranges the cable 2 in an orderly manner on the reel 1 and ensures smooth operation of the cable 2 release or winding. Specifically, the reciprocating screw 7, guide shaft 8, slider 12, first gear 9, second gear 10 and chain 11 together constitute an accurate transmission and guide system. During the release or winding of the cable 2, the rotating shaft 3 rotates under the action of the driving assembly, the first gear 9 rotates with the rotating shaft 3, and through the efficient transmission of the chain 11, the second gear 10 and the reciprocating screw 7 are driven to rotate. During the rotation of the reciprocating screw 7, the guide shaft 8 plays a key guiding role, ensuring that the slider 12 can maintain a smooth and accurate sliding trajectory on the reciprocating screw 7 and the guide shaft 8. With the movement of the slider 12, the through hole 13 structure on the slider 12 accurately guides and changes the position of the cable 2, which not only realizes the orderly arrangement of the cable 2 on the reel 1, but also greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of cable 2 management, thereby optimizing the smoothness and reliability of the winding and unwinding process.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the rotating shaft 3 is arranged through the middle of the reel 1, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 3 are fixedly sleeved with mounting plates 14 and fixed on both sides of the reel 1 by screws, the cable 2 is arranged inside the rotating shaft 3, and a hole 15 is formed in the side plate of the reel 1 away from the fixed shell 4, through which the cable 2 passes to be wound on the reel 1.

[0033] By arranging the cable 2 inside the rotating shaft 3, the end of the cable 2 passes into the reel 1 from the hole 15 on the side plate of the reel 1 and is wound on the reel 1, and the other end is connected with the equipment to realize signal transmission. This layout ensures that the cable 2 can maintain high neatness and orderliness during the winding and unwinding process, thereby avoiding the problem of disorder and mutual entanglement of the cable 2, improving the efficiency of cable 2 management, and significantly enhancing the overall aesthetics and reliability of the system.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the rotating shaft 3 is sleeved with a stuffing box 16 at one end of the cable 2, and the stuffing box 16 is sealingly connected with the rotating shaft 3.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The bearing seat 20 is rotatably installed on the transmission shaft 18.

[0039] The bearing seat 20 is a key supporting structure of the transmission shaft 18, which stably provides supporting force for the transmission shaft 18, effectively reduces the shaking and friction of the transmission shaft 18 during rotation, thereby enhancing the stability and smoothness of rotation, ensuring that the equipment can maintain high stability and reliability during operation, thereby ensuring the continuous normal operation of the equipment.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both ends of the bearing seat 20 are provided with angular contact bearings 21, and the inside of the bearing seat 20 is provided with a slip ring 22, the transmission shaft 18 sequentially passes through the angular contact bearings 21 and the slip ring 22, and is rotatably connected with the angular contact bearings 21 and the slip ring 22.

[0041] By arranging the angular contact bearings 21 and the slip ring 22 on the bearing seat 20, the stability of the transmission shaft 18 during rotation is ensured, and the radial and axial loads received by the transmission shaft 18 can be effectively dispersed, thereby reducing wear and vibration, so that the transmission shaft 18 can still maintain good rotation performance after a long time of operation, not only prolonging the service life of the transmission shaft 18, but also greatly improving the operation efficiency and reliability of the overall equipment, bringing many conveniences and advantages to the use of users.
