Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic winch technology, and in particular to a pneumatic winch for underwater use. Background Technology

[0002] A pneumatic winch is a device that uses a blade-type pneumatic motor as its power source and transmits power to a drum via a planetary gear reducer to lift heavy objects. The pneumatic winch motor and reducer are connected to both sides of the drum, making the winch small in size, light in weight, compact in structure, simple to operate, and easy to maintain. It can achieve stepless speed regulation within a certain range. The winch is braked by a motor, which is reliable. It can also be operated manually without compressed air and is widely used in underwater operations, such as marine resource exploration, underwater facility installation and maintenance, etc. Winches are often used to retrieve and deploy ropes, cables and other components to achieve operations such as lifting, casting and pulling underwater equipment or objects.

[0003] According to the pneumatic winch base proposed in announcement number CN220337871U, a first handwheel rotates a first screw, which drives a first guide block to move laterally within a first adjusting groove. The first guide block drives a second mounting seat to move laterally away from or closer to the first mounting seat, thus adjusting the distance between the first and second mounting seats. When the second mounting seat moves laterally, a first and second telescopic sleeve can drive a fourth mounting seat to move laterally away from or closer to a third mounting seat, thus adjusting the distance between the fourth and third mounting seats. This facilitates the adjustment of the spacing between the two first arc-shaped grooves and the two second arc-shaped grooves, making it convenient to install pneumatic winches of different widths on the first, second, third, and fourth mounting seats.

[0004] When existing pneumatic winches are used in underwater operations, they need to be installed on ships. However, different models of pneumatic winches require corresponding mounting bases for fixation, which lacks universality. This means that every time a pneumatic winch is replaced, the base needs to be reinstalled on the ship, increasing equipment procurement and maintenance costs, as well as operational difficulty and time costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a pneumatic winch for underwater use to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
