Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnbuckle technology, specifically to the main body of a turnbuckle for container ships. Background Technology
[0002] Turnbuckles, also known as turnbuckles, rigging, or wire fasteners, are connecting hardware with left and right-hand threads at both ends to adjust the connection length. Turnbuckles are used to tighten steel wire ropes. Based on different manufacturing processes, turnbuckles are mainly divided into three types: cast malleable iron, ordinary carbon steel, and forged. Currently, the market mainly offers ordinary carbon steel and forged turnbuckles. Ordinary carbon steel turnbuckles are mainly used for static binding and stabilization in non-critical situations, such as wind protection in gardens and agricultural greenhouses. Forged turnbuckles are used for lifting and cargo binding and reinforcement, such as cargo binding in logistics, sling connections, and steel structure cable rod connectors.
[0003] In existing turnbuckles, the threaded shank is the main stress point, making the threads on the shank surface prone to wear. When the threads wear excessively, the threaded shank will slip, which will affect the safety of the turnbuckle connection. Furthermore, during the rotation and adjustment of the turnbuckle, the hook is prone to falling off, requiring manual support, which is very inconvenient. To address this, we have proposed a turnbuckle base for container ships. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turnbuckle body for container ships, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. When using existing turnbuckles, the threaded rod is the main stress point, which makes the thread on the surface of the threaded rod very easy to wear. When the thread wear is too large, the threaded rod will slip off, which will affect the safety of the turnbuckle connection. Furthermore, during the rotation and adjustment of the turnbuckle, the hook is prone to falling off, requiring manual support, which is very inconvenient.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a turnbuckle body for container ships, comprising a main body, threaded rods screwed to the top and bottom of the main body, sliding grooves provided on the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the main body, a slider slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and a connecting plate fixedly connected between the inner side walls of the slider;
[0006] The front sidewall of the connecting plate is screwed with a first locking bolt, and a pad is sleeved on the outer sidewall of the first locking bolt. The rear sidewall of the pad is provided with anti-slip texture. The top and bottom of the inner cavity of the main body are fixedly connected with a sleeve. The inner cavity of the sleeve is slidably connected with a movable rod. The front sidewall of the sleeve is screwed with a second locking bolt. The end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the connecting plate.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The front sidewall of the main body has strip grooves on both the upper and lower sides.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The top and bottom of the threaded rod are fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the top and bottom right sides of the mounting plate are fixedly connected to hooks.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] A small cylinder is fixedly connected to the top and bottom left side of the mounting plate, and a piston rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the small cylinder.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A sleeve is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod, and the sleeve is sleeved on the end of the hook.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] An inflation tube is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the small cylinder, and a valve is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side wall of the inflation tube via a flange.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. The turnbuckle body for container ships, by tightening the first locking bolt, presses the washer plate onto the main body. The friction between the washer plate and the main body then distributes the tension on the threaded rod. At the same time, the anti-slip texture further increases the friction, thereby reducing the stress on the threaded rod and delaying thread wear. Furthermore, by tightening the second locking bolt through the slot, the second locking bolt firmly locks the movable rod in the sleeve, which in turn locks the connecting plate, thus preventing the threaded rod from slipping out. Finally, when the threaded rod slips out at the connection between the threaded rod and the main body, the friction between the washer plate and the main body still provides a fixing effect on the threaded rod, and the locked movable rod further enhances the fixing function, preventing the threaded rod from falling off directly. Thus, the turnbuckle has multiple anti-slip functions, improving the safety of the turnbuckle in use.
[0019] 2. The turnbuckle body for container ships, by unscrewing the valve and inputting gas into the inflation pipe, adds gas into the small cylinder. As the inflation time increases, the internal air pressure of the small cylinder gradually increases, which in turn pushes the piston rod to move, thereby pushing the sleeve to the end of the hook. After closing the valve and stopping the gas supply, the sleeve is fitted onto the end of the hook, thus sealing the hook and preventing it from coming off, thereby improving the performance of the turnbuckle.

[0028] This utility model provides a mother body for turnbuckles used on container ships, which can improve the safety of turnbuckle use, prevent disengagement, and improve the performance of turnbuckles. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1-4 It includes the main body 100 and the threaded rod 200;
[0029] Please see Figure 1-3The inner cavity of the main body 100 has sliding grooves 110 on its left and right side walls. The sliding grooves 110 are used for sliding of the slider 120. The slider 120 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding grooves 110. The slider 120 is used to install the connecting plate 130. The connecting plate 130 is fixedly connected between the inner side walls of the slider 120. The connecting plate 130 is used to install the screwed first locking bolt 150. The front side wall of the connecting plate 130 is screwed with the first locking bolt 150. The first locking bolt 150 is used to tighten the pad 160. The outer side wall of the first locking bolt 150 is sleeved with... A pad 160 is provided, with anti-slip texture on its rear side wall. The pad 160 is used to improve the anti-detachment performance. A sleeve 170 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the main body 100. The sleeve 170 is used to install the movable rod 180. The movable rod 180 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sleeve 170. The movable rod 180 is used to move with the connecting plate 130. A second locking bolt 190 is screwed to the front side wall of the sleeve 170. The second locking bolt 190 is used to lock the movable rod 180, further improving the anti-detachment performance. The front sidewall has grooves 140 on both the upper and lower sides. These grooves allow for the movement of the first locking bolt 150 and facilitate the tightening of the second locking bolt 190. Tightening the first locking bolt 150 presses the pad 160 onto the main body 100, thereby sharing the tension on the threaded rod 200 with the friction between the pad 160 and the main body 100. Simultaneously, the anti-slip texture further increases friction, thus reducing the stress on the threaded rod 200, delaying thread wear, and further... 40 Tighten the second locking bolt 190 so that the second locking bolt 190 firmly locks the movable rod 180 in the sleeve 170, thereby locking the connecting plate 130 with the movable rod 180, thus preventing the threaded rod 200 from slipping off. Finally, when the threaded rod 200 slips off at the connection with the main body 100, the friction between the pad 160 and the main body 100 will still provide a fixing effect on the threaded rod 200, and the locked movable rod 180 will further improve the fixing function, preventing the threaded rod 200 from falling off directly.
[0030] In summary, this gives turnbuckles multiple anti-slip functions, improving their safety during use.
[0031] Please refer to it again. Figure 1-4A threaded rod 200 is screwed to the top and bottom of the main body 100. The end of the threaded rod 200 is rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the connecting plate 130. A mounting plate 210 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the threaded rod 200. The mounting plate 210 is used to install a hook 220 and a small cylinder 230. A hook 220 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom right side of the mounting plate 210. The hook 220 is used to hook the wire rope. A small cylinder 230 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom left side of the mounting plate 210. The small cylinder 230 is used to install a piston rod 240. The piston rod 240 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the small cylinder 230. The piston rod 240 is used to drive the sleeve 250 to rise and fall. The end of the piston rod 240 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 250. Sleeve 250 is fitted onto the end of hook 220. Sleeve 250 is used to seal hook 220. An inflation pipe 260 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of small cylinder 230. Inflation pipe 260 is used to connect to an air pump. A valve 270 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side wall of inflation pipe 260 through a flange. Valve 270 is used to open and close inflation pipe 260. By unscrewing valve 270 and inputting gas into inflation pipe 260, gas is added into small cylinder 230. As inflation time increases, the internal air pressure of small cylinder 230 gradually increases, which in turn pushes piston rod 240 to move, thereby pushing sleeve 250 to the end of hook 220 and fitting sleeve 250 onto the end of hook 220, thus sealing hook 220.
[0032] In summary, this avoids the problem of the turnbuckle coming off the hook and improves the performance of the turnbuckle.
[0033] In practical use, those skilled in the art first hook the hooks 220 on both sides onto the wire rope, and then open the valve 270 to input gas into the inflation pipe 260, thereby adding gas into the small cylinder 230. As the inflation time increases, the internal air pressure of the small cylinder 230 gradually increases, which in turn pushes the piston rod 240 to move, thereby pushing the sleeve 250 to the end of the hook 220 and making the sleeve 250 fit onto the end of the hook 220, thus sealing the hook 220. Then, the inflation is stopped and the valve 270 is closed. Subsequently, the main body 100 is rotated to retract the threaded rod 200 inward, thereby tightening the wire rope. After the wire rope is tightened, the first locking bolt 150 is tightened, so that the first locking bolt 150 presses the pad 160 against the main body. On 100, the friction between the pad 160 and the main body 100 is used to share the tension on the threaded rod 200. At the same time, the anti-slip texture further increases the friction, thereby reducing the stress on the threaded rod 200, delaying thread wear, and tightening the second locking bolt 190 so that the second locking bolt 190 firmly locks the movable rod 180 in the sleeve 170, thereby locking the connecting plate 130 with the movable rod 180, thus preventing the threaded rod 200 from slipping. Finally, when it is necessary to open the hook 220, the valve 270 is opened again, so that the air pipe 260 releases the gas inside the small cylinder 230, thereby causing the piston rod 240 to retract into the small cylinder 230, so that the sleeve 250 can disengage from the end of the hook 220, thereby opening the hook 220.
