Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship anchor winches, specifically to a horizontal ship anchor winch. Background Technology

[0002] Anchor winches, also known as anchor windlasses, are large deck machines on ships used to raise and lower anchor lines (or anchor chains). They are typically installed on the main deck at the bow and stern for raising and lowering anchor lines and mooring lines, and are usually used in conjunction with winches. In practice, anchor winches generally use an electric motor as the power source, which drives the winch mechanism to raise and lower the anchor line.

[0003] The existing anchor ropes on ships cannot prevent the anchor winch mechanism from rotating during the winding and unwinding process, and cannot perform the limit function, which makes the anchor rope easy to come loose from the anchor, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a horizontal ship anchor winch to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a horizontal ship anchor winch, comprising a base, a drive mechanism, an anchor winch mechanism, a locking mechanism and a limiting mechanism, wherein the drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the base, and the drive mechanism is drivenly connected to the anchor winch mechanism, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the anchor winch mechanism to rotate in order to wind up and unwind the ship anchor rope.

[0006] The anchor winding mechanism includes a connecting shaft, an anchor winding end seat coaxially connected to the connecting shaft, and multiple chucks. The anchor winding mechanism is driven by the driving mechanism through the connecting shaft.

[0007] The locking mechanism includes a connecting sleeve with a through hole and a locking pin. The bottom end of the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the base. The connecting sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the anchor end seat through the through hole. The connecting sleeve is provided with an insertion hole. The anchor end seat is provided with a locking groove. The locking pin is inserted into the locking groove through the insertion hole to achieve anti-rotation locking of the anchor mechanism.

[0008] The position of the limiting mechanism is adjustable and mounted on the chuck to clamp and limit the anchor rope.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate and a threaded fixing rod. The limiting plate has a sleeve hole, and a threaded hole communicating with the sleeve hole is provided on the upper part of the limiting plate. The limiting plate is sleeved on the chuck through the sleeve hole, and the threaded fixing rod passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected and fixed to the chuck.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes an anti-detachment screw, and the chuck and the anchor end seat have corresponding screw holes, with the anti-detachment screw installed through the screw holes of the chuck and the anchor end seat.

[0011] Preferably, a distribution box is fixedly installed on the base, and the distribution box is equipped with an inspection door, a control panel, and control buttons electrically connected to the control panel. The control panel is electrically connected to the drive mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the drive mechanism, anchoring mechanism, locking mechanism, and limiting mechanism are all located above the distribution box.

[0013] Preferably, the drive mechanism is a geared motor.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model of a horizontal ship anchor winch enables the locking mechanism to lock the anchor winch mechanism by inserting the locking pin into the locking slot through the insertion hole during the winding and unwinding of the anchor rope. This effectively prevents the anchor winch mechanism from rotating. By adjusting the position of the limiting mechanism and installing it on the chuck to clamp and limit the anchor rope, the anchor rope can be prevented from falling off the anchor, ensuring safety.

[0024] See Figures 1-4 As shown, as an embodiment of this utility model, a horizontal ship anchor winch is provided, including a base 1, a drive mechanism, an anchor winch mechanism 7, a locking mechanism 8 and a limiting mechanism 9. The drive mechanism is a geared motor 6, which is fixedly installed on the base 1. The drive mechanism is driven to drive the anchor winch mechanism 7 to rotate so as to reel in and release the ship anchor rope.

[0025] The anchoring mechanism 7 includes a connecting shaft 73, an anchoring end seat 71 coaxially connected to the connecting shaft 73, and a plurality of chucks 74. The plurality of chucks 74 are located on the same side of the anchoring end seat 71. The anchoring mechanism 7 is driven by the driving mechanism through the connecting shaft 73.

[0026] The locking mechanism 8 includes a connecting sleeve 81 with a through hole 82 and a locking pin 84. The bottom end of the connecting sleeve 81 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The connecting sleeve 81 is sleeved on the outside of the anchor end seat 71 through the through hole 82. The connecting sleeve 81 is provided with an insertion hole 83. The anchor end seat 71 is provided with a locking groove 72. The locking pin 84 is inserted into the locking groove 72 through the insertion hole 83 to achieve anti-rotation locking of the anchor mechanism 7.

[0027] The position of the limiting mechanism 9 is adjustable and mounted on the chuck 74 to clamp and limit the anchor rope.

[0028] The horizontal ship anchor winch of this utility model enables the locking pin 84 of the locking mechanism 8 to be inserted into the locking slot 72 through the insertion hole 83 during the winding and unwinding of the anchor rope, thereby locking the anchor winch mechanism 7 to prevent rotation. This effectively prevents the anchor winch mechanism 7 from rotating. By adjusting the position of the limiting mechanism 9 on the chuck 74, the anchor rope is clamped and limited, preventing the anchor rope from falling off the anchor and ensuring safety.

[0029] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 9 includes a limiting plate 91 and a threaded fixing rod 94. The limiting plate 91 has a sleeve hole 92 and a threaded hole 93 communicating with the sleeve hole 92 is provided above the limiting plate 91. The limiting plate 91 is sleeved on the chuck 74 through the sleeve hole 92. The threaded fixing rod 94 passes through the threaded hole 93 and is threadedly connected and fixed to the chuck 74, thereby realizing the adjustable installation of the limiting mechanism 9 on the chuck 74.

[0030] In this embodiment, an anti-detachment screw 75 is also included. The chuck 74 and the anchor end seat 71 are provided with corresponding screw holes. The anti-detachment screw 75 is installed through the screw holes of the chuck 74 and the anchor end seat 71 to ensure that the positions of the chuck 74 and the anchor end seat 71 can be relatively fixed to prevent slippage or deformation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a distribution box 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The distribution box 2 is equipped with an inspection door 3, a control panel 4, and control buttons 5 electrically connected to the control panel 4. The control panel 4 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, thereby improving power and control support. The drive mechanism, anchoring mechanism 7, locking mechanism 8, and limit mechanism 9 are all located above the distribution box 2, providing better support and making the installation more stable and reliable.

[0032] In summary, the operating steps of the horizontal ship anchor winch of this utility model are as follows;

[0033] The geared motor 6 is started by operating the control panel 4 and control button 5, which in turn drives the anchor winch mechanism 7 to rotate and wind the anchor rope into the chuck 74. The anti-derailment screw 75 is installed through the screw holes of the chuck 74 and the anchor winch end seat 71 to prevent the anchor rope from coming off the anchor during the release process, reducing the possibility of accidents and increasing safety. The locking pin 84 is inserted into the locking slot 72 through the insertion hole 83 to lock the anchor winch mechanism 7 to prevent rotation, which can effectively prevent the anchor winch mechanism 7 from rotating. Then, the limiting plate 91 is sleeved on the chuck 74 at both ends of the anchor rope, and the threaded fixing rod 94 passes through the threaded hole 93 and is threadedly connected to the chuck 74 to fix it, thereby limiting the anchor rope and further improving safety.
