Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a take-up and take-down device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the take-up and take-down device rotated to its first limit position. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the take-up and take-down device rotating to its second extreme position. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the rotation effect of a retractable device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown is a simplified representation of the swing effect. The retraction device 000 may include: a gantry 100, two main supports 200, two auxiliary supports 300, two main swing hydraulic cylinders 400, and two auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinders 500.

[0035] The gantry 100 in the deployment and retrieval equipment 000 may have two legs 101 arranged opposite each other along a first direction f1. Here, the gantry 100 also has a crossbeam 102 connected to the top of the two legs 101, which can be used to mount a pulley assembly for deploying and retrieving marine equipment.

[0036] In the deployment and retraction device 000, the two main supports 200 can correspond one-to-one with the two legs 101. The top of each main support 200 can have a first hinge position 201 and a second hinge position 202 arranged along a first direction f1, and the two second hinge positions 202 can be distributed between the two first hinge positions 201. The end of each leg 101 can be hinged to the second hinge position 202 in the main support 200, and the side of the leg 101 facing the first hinge position 201 in the main support 200 can have a third hinge position 101a corresponding to the first hinge position 201.

[0037] The two auxiliary supports 300 in the deployment and retraction device 000 can correspond one-to-one with the two main supports 200. Each set of auxiliary supports 300 and main supports 200 can be arranged along a second direction f2 perpendicular to the first direction f1. The top of each auxiliary support 300 can have a fourth hinge position 301, and the side of the support leg 101 facing the auxiliary support 300 can have a fifth hinge position 101b corresponding to the fourth hinge position 301.

[0038] The telescopic end of the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 in the deployment and recovery device 000 can be hinged to the third hinge position 101a in the support leg 101, and the fixed end of the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 can be hinged to the first hinge position 201 in the main support 200. The telescopic end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 can be hinged to the fifth hinge position 101b in the support leg 101, and the fixed end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 can be hinged to the fourth hinge position 301 in the auxiliary support 300. Here, the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 may include: a main swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 401 and a main swing hydraulic rod 402 that are telescopically connected. The telescopic end of the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 can be the end of the main swing hydraulic rod 402 located outside the main swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 401, and the fixed end of the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 can be the end of the main swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 401 that is away from the main swing hydraulic rod 402. The auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 may include: an auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 501 and an auxiliary swing hydraulic rod 502 that are connected in a telescopic manner. The telescopic end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 may be the end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic rod 502 located outside the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 501, and the fixed end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 may be the end of the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder barrel 501 that is away from the auxiliary swing hydraulic rod 502.

[0039] In this configuration, the main swing hydraulic cylinder 400 and the auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 simultaneously drive the gantry 100 to rotate. When the gantry 100 rotates to the first and second extreme positions, the central axes of each auxiliary swing hydraulic cylinder 500 are coaxial. Here, the stroke of the main swing cylinder 400 is relatively large at both the first and second extreme positions, while the stroke of the auxiliary swing cylinder 500 is the largest at the first extreme position and the smallest at the second extreme position.

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing independent main support 200 and auxiliary support 300 in the deployment and retraction device 000, the first hinge position 201 and the second hinge position 202 arranged side by side on the main support 200 are respectively hinged to the fixed end of the main swing cylinder 400 and the end of the support leg 500. The fourth hinge position 301 on the auxiliary support 300 is hinged to the fixed end of the auxiliary swing cylinder 500, and the telescopic ends of both the main swing cylinder 400 and the auxiliary swing cylinder 500 are hinged to the support leg 101. In this way, the two sets of main swing cylinders 400 and auxiliary swing cylinders 500 operate simultaneously when driving the gantry 100 to rotate at any angle, which allows the swing cylinders to be made smaller, which is also better for the structural stress. Moreover, since the fixed ends of the two sets of swing cylinders are on the deck, their simultaneous operation can withstand a large dynamic load. Furthermore, when the main swing cylinder 400 is at its dead position near 90 degrees, the lever arm of the auxiliary swing cylinder 500 is larger than that of the load lever arm on the gantry, which perfectly matches the load conditions and allows the main swing cylinder 400 to smoothly pass the dead position. It should be noted that the main swing cylinder 400 is larger than the auxiliary swing cylinder 500, and the stroke of the main swing cylinder 400 is greater than that of the auxiliary swing cylinder 500.

[0041] In summary, this application provides a launching and retracting device, which may include: a gantry, two main supports, two auxiliary supports, two main swing cylinders, and two auxiliary swing cylinders. By setting independent main and auxiliary supports in the launching and retracting device, the first and second hinge positions on the main supports are respectively hinged to the fixed end of the main swing cylinder and the end of the outrigger, and the fourth hinge position on the auxiliary supports is hinged to the fixed end of the auxiliary swing cylinder. Furthermore, the telescopic ends of both the main and auxiliary swing cylinders are hinged to the outriggers. In this way, the two sets of main and auxiliary swing cylinders operate simultaneously at any angle when driving the gantry to rotate, allowing the swing cylinders to be smaller and improving structural stress resistance. Since the fixed ends of both sets of swing cylinders are on the deck, their simultaneous operation can withstand larger dynamic loads. In addition, when the main swing cylinder is at its dead point position around 90 degrees, the lever arm of the auxiliary swing cylinder is larger while the load lever arm on the gantry is smaller, which matches the load conditions well and allows the main swing cylinder to smoothly pass the dead point position.

[0042] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of both the main support 200 and the bottom of the auxiliary support 300 can be fixed to the deck. The height of the first hinge position 201 in the main support 200 can be greater than the height of the second hinge position 202, and the height of the second hinge position 202 in the main support 200 can be greater than the height of the fourth hinge position 301 in the auxiliary support 300. This results in a larger pulling torque for the main swing cylinder 400, allowing it to withstand a larger load during retraction and deployment, further expanding the applicability of the retraction and deployment device 000. It should be noted that the bottom of the main support 200 is the end opposite to the top of the main support 200.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another retractable device provided in an embodiment of this application. Each main support 200 may include a first base A1 and a second base A2. The first base A1 and the second base A2 in each main support 200 may be arranged along a first direction f1. The first base A1 may have a first hinge position 201, and the second base A2 may have a second hinge position 202. The height of the first base A1 may be greater than the height of the second base A2, and the height of the second base A2 may be greater than the height of the sub-support 300.

[0044] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first seat A1 in the main support 200 may include a first part A11 and a second part A12 fixedly connected. The end of the first part A11 facing away from the second part A12 may have a first hinge position 201. The bottom of the second part A12 (i.e., the end of the second part A12 facing away from the first part A11) may be fixed to the deck, and the side of the second part A12 may be fixedly connected to the side of the second seat A2. The width of the second part A12 may gradually increase in the direction facing away from the first part A11. This further improves the stable support performance of the main support 200 for the main swing cylinder 400.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the width of the second support body A2 in the main support 200 can gradually increase along the direction closer to the deck. This further improves the stability support performance of the main support 200 for the gantry 100.

[0046] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the width of the sub-support 300 can gradually increase along the direction closer to the deck. This further improves the stable support performance of the sub-support 300 for the auxiliary swing cylinder 500.

[0047] Please refer to the following in this application: Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another retraction device provided in this application embodiment. The side of the support leg 101 facing the sub-support 300, near the end of the support leg 101, may have a first hinge support 101c, and a fifth hinge position 101b may be disposed in the first hinge support 101c. Thus, by providing the first hinge support 101c on the side of the support leg 101, the hinge stability between the extension / retraction end of the main swing cylinder 400 and the support leg 101 is ensured.

[0048] The side of the outrigger 101 facing the first hinge position 201 in the main support 200 may have a second hinge support 101d, and a third hinge position 101a may be provided in the second hinge support 101d. In this way, by providing the second hinge support 101d in the outrigger 101, the hinge stability between the telescopic end of the auxiliary swing cylinder 500 and the outrigger 101 is ensured.

[0049] In summary, this application provides a launching and retracting device, which may include: a gantry, two main supports, two auxiliary supports, two main swing cylinders, and two auxiliary swing cylinders. By setting independent main and auxiliary supports in the launching and retracting device, the first and second hinge positions on the main supports are respectively hinged to the fixed end of the main swing cylinder and the end of the outrigger, and the fourth hinge position on the auxiliary supports is hinged to the fixed end of the auxiliary swing cylinder. Furthermore, the telescopic ends of both the main and auxiliary swing cylinders are hinged to the outriggers. In this way, the two sets of main and auxiliary swing cylinders operate simultaneously at any angle when driving the gantry to rotate, allowing the swing cylinders to be smaller and improving structural stress resistance. Since the fixed ends of both sets of swing cylinders are on the deck, their simultaneous operation can withstand larger dynamic loads. In addition, when the main swing cylinder is at its dead point position around 90 degrees, the lever arm of the auxiliary swing cylinder is larger while the load lever arm on the gantry is smaller, which matches the load conditions well and allows the main swing cylinder to smoothly pass the dead point position.
