Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine parts technology, and more specifically, it relates to a shark pliers with protective functions. Background Technology
[0002] Shark clamps are marine safety devices that can hold cables or steel ropes tightly to prevent them from slipping and ensure stable towing operations.
[0003] To prevent the jaws from loosening and causing safety issues when the hydraulic system loses pressure, the jaws are usually fixed at the dead point of the crank-connecting rod mechanism. However, it is difficult to repair the hydraulic system when the jaws are gripping the cable, which can easily cause the jaws to come loose. Furthermore, if the hydraulic system fails before gripping the cable, the shark pliers cannot effectively and promptly hold the cable in place, which may pose a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shark pliers with protective function.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A shark claw with protective function includes a shell. Two limiting posts are provided on one side of the shell away from the hull. The limiting posts can extend out of the shell. Two claws are symmetrically arranged on the other side of the shell. The claws are in the shape of right-angled fans. The center end of the claws is rotatably connected to the shell. The other end of one side of the claw is rotatably connected to a main drive mechanism. A secondary drive mechanism is connected to the main drive mechanism. Both the main drive mechanism and the secondary drive mechanism can control the other side of the claw to be flush with or perpendicular to the platform of the shell.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the main drive mechanism includes an active connecting rod, one end of the active connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the housing, the other end of the active connecting rod is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a jaw, a hydraulic rod is installed inside the housing, and the output shaft of the hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to the middle position of the active connecting rod.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the auxiliary drive mechanism includes a lever, the lever is rotatably mounted in the housing, one end of the lever is rotatably connected to a connecting rod two, the other end of the connecting rod two is rotatably connected to the middle position of the active connecting rod, the other end of the lever is equipped with a motor, the motor is equipped with a drive gear, the bottom of the housing is provided with a track one, the track one is arc-shaped facing the lever, the center of the track one overlaps with the rotation center of the lever, the arc-shaped surface of the track one is provided with teeth, and the drive gear meshes with the teeth of the track one.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the lever at the end facing the motor is greater than the length of the lever at the end facing the connecting rod.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the motor and the drive gear are respectively disposed on both sides of the lever; a second track is provided at the bottom of the housing; the side of the second track facing the lever is configured as an arc concentric with the track; and the outer wall of the motor is slidably connected to the second track.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a limiting rod is provided inside the housing, and when the main drive mechanism reaches the dead point position, the active connecting rod abuts against the limiting rod.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] It is equipped with a secondary drive mechanism. The output end of the secondary drive mechanism is connected to the active linkage.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0023] A shark grappling hook with protective function includes a shell 1. Two limiting posts 2 are set on the side of the shell 1 opposite to the hull. The limiting posts 2 can extend out of the shell 1 to guide and limit the cable. Two claws 3 are symmetrically arranged on the other side of the shell 1. The claws 3 are right-angled fan-shaped. The center end of the claws 3 is rotatably connected to the shell 1. The other end of one side of the claws 3 is rotatably connected to a main drive mechanism 4. A secondary drive mechanism 5 is connected to the main drive mechanism 4. Both the main drive mechanism 4 and the secondary drive mechanism 5 can control the other side of the claws 3 to be flush with or perpendicular to the platform of the shell 1. Under normal conditions, the claws 3 are controlled by the main drive mechanism 4 to clamp and release the cable. When the main drive mechanism 4 is accidentally damaged, the secondary drive mechanism 5 is activated. The secondary drive mechanism 5 temporarily replaces the main drive mechanism 4 to control the claws 3 to realize the function of the shark grappling hook. Thus, the shark grappling hook can be repaired in a safe environment with the cable fixed, thereby improving safety performance.
[0024] The main drive mechanism 4 includes an active connecting rod 42. One end of the active connecting rod 42 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1, and the other end of the active connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 43. The other end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to the jaws 3. A hydraulic rod 41 is installed inside the housing 1. The output shaft of the hydraulic rod 41 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the active connecting rod 42. The main drive mechanism 4 is a conventional crank-connecting rod mechanism. In the working state, the jaws 3 are at the dead point position of the crank-connecting rod mechanism.
[0025] The auxiliary drive mechanism 5 includes a lever 52, which is rotatably mounted inside the housing 1. One end of the lever 52 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 53, and the other end of the connecting rod 53 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the active connecting rod 42. A motor 55 is mounted on the other end of the lever 52, and a drive gear 54 is mounted on the motor 55. A track 51 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The track 51 is arc-shaped towards the lever 52, and the center of the track 51 overlaps with the rotation center of the lever 52. Teeth are arranged on the arc-shaped surface of the track 51, and the drive gear 54 meshes with the teeth of the track 51.
[0026] When the motor 55 starts, the drive gear 54 rotates and crawls along the track 1 51, thereby driving the lever 52 to rotate. The lever 52 pushes the connecting rod 2 53 at the other end, and the connecting rod 2 53 drives the active connecting rod 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the claw 3 to rotate, so that the claw 3 rotates out of the housing 1 to clamp the cable or retracts into the housing 1 to release the cable. That is, the auxiliary drive mechanism 5 can replace the function of the hydraulic rod 41 and realize the function of the shark claw when the hydraulic rod 41 is damaged, so as to repair the shark claw in a safe environment and prevent accidents.
[0027] The length of the lever 52 towards the motor 55 is greater than the length of the lever 52 towards the connecting rod 53. The lever 52 can reduce the driving force required to lift the jaw 3, reduce the load on the motor 55 and the drive gear 54, reduce wear, and extend service life.
[0028] The motor 55 and the drive gear 54 are respectively located on both sides of the lever 52. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a second track 56. The side of the second track 56 facing the lever 52 is set as an arc concentric with the first track 51. The outer wall of the motor 55 is slidably connected to the second track 56. The second track 56 provides additional support for the motor 55 to maintain the balance of the lever 52.
[0029] A limit rod 6 is provided inside the housing 1. When the main drive mechanism 4 reaches the dead point position, the active connecting rod 42 abuts against the limit rod 6. The limit rod 6 can ensure the position of the claw 3 when it is raised. By using the principle of the dead point of the crank connecting rod mechanism, the claw 3 is prevented from retracting under external force, thus ensuring the stability of the shark claw in gripping the cable.
[0030] Specifically, a secondary drive mechanism 5 is provided. The output end of the secondary drive mechanism 5 is connected to the active connecting rod 41. When the motor 55 is started, the drive gear 54 crawls along the first track 51, thereby driving the lever 52 to rotate. The lever 52 pushes the active connecting rod 42 to move through the second connecting rod 53. That is, the secondary drive mechanism 5 replaces the function of the hydraulic rod 41. When the hydraulic rod 41 loses pressure, it can drive the claw 3 to extend or retract into the housing 1, realizing the function of the shark claw. The shark claw can be repaired in a safe environment, reducing safety hazards.
