[0005] A shore power AC cable winch includes a base and a stranded reel. The stranded reel is rotatably mounted on the base and connected to a drive assembly. A cable is mounted on the stranded reel, with a first shore power plug connected to the movable end of the cable and a second shore power plug electrically connected to the other end of the cable. The stranded reel is also connected to a protective socket capable of docking with the shore power plug via an elastic rope.
[0006] Furthermore, the protective socket is located on one side of the outer wall of the stranded wheel. The side wall of the stranded wheel with the protective socket has multiple notches, and the elastic rope can be caught in the notches.
[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a first motor, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a transmission belt. The first pulley is coaxially connected to the first motor, the second pulley is coaxially connected to the stranded wheel, and the first pulley and the second pulley are connected by the transmission belt.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a controller and a wiring assembly. The wiring assembly includes a second motor, a mounting box, a lead screw, a slider, a through frame, and a movable bracket. The mounting box is mounted on the upper surface of the base. The lead screw is rotatably mounted inside the mounting box. The second motor is coaxially connected to the lead screw. The slider is mounted on the lead screw and slidably connected to the mounting box. The through frame is mounted on the upper side of the slider. The movable bracket is slidably mounted on the through frame. A rotatable first roller is installed inside the through frame. A second roller is arranged on the upper side of the first roller and rotatably mounted on the movable bracket. The controller is communicatively connected to the first motor and the second motor respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, the base is equipped with wheels on the underside and a handle is also mounted on the base.
[0010] Optionally, the drive component is a handle connected to the stranded reel.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. After the cable is bundled, connect the protective socket and the shore plug to protect the shore plug. Apply a pre-tightening force to the coiled cable with an elastic rope to prevent it from unraveling and making it difficult to manage, and also to prevent the shore plug from being bumped.

[0022] The present invention provides the following specific embodiments:
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a shore power AC cable winch, including a base 1 and a stranding wheel 4. The stranding wheel 4 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 via a column. The stranding wheel 4 is connected to a drive assembly that can drive its own rotation. In use, a cable 17 is wound and installed on the stranding wheel 4. The movable end (the end pulled outward) of the cable 17 is electrically connected to a first shore power plug, and the other end of the cable 17 is electrically connected to a second shore power plug. The stranding wheel 4 is also connected to a protective socket 8 that can dock with the shore power plug via an elastic rope 10.
[0024] Furthermore, a protective socket 8 is located on one side of the outer wall of the stranded reel 4. The side wall of the stranded reel 4 with the protective socket 8 has multiple notches 11, into which the elastic rope 10 can be secured. In this embodiment, when the protective socket 8 is not in use, the protective socket 8 and the outer wall of the stranded reel 4 are tightly fitted together. When in use, the protective socket 8 is pulled out, and the elastic rope 10 is placed in a suitable notch 11, connecting the protective socket 8 to the shore power plug.
[0025] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a first motor 3, a first pulley 12, a second pulley 14, and a transmission belt 13. The first pulley 12 is coaxially connected to the first motor 3 via a planetary reducer 15, the second pulley 14 is coaxially connected to the stranded wheel 4, and the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 14 are connected by the transmission belt 13.
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a controller and a wire assembly. The wire assembly includes a second motor 7, a mounting box 5, a lead screw 9, a slider 16, a through frame 6, and a movable bracket 20. The mounting box 5 is mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The lead screw 9 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting box 5. The second motor 7 is coaxially connected to the lead screw 9. The slider 16 is mounted on the lead screw 9 and is slidably connected to the mounting box 5. The second motor 7 can drive the lead screw 9 to perform forward and reverse reciprocating motion, thereby causing the slider 16 to move back and forth inside the mounting box 5. The through frame 6 is mounted on the upper side of the slider 16. The movable bracket 20 is slidably mounted on the through frame 6. A rotatable first roller 18 is installed inside the through frame 6. A second roller 19 is arranged on the upper side of the first roller 18 and is rotatably mounted on the movable bracket 20. The controller is communicatively connected to the first motor 3 and the second motor 7. The controller controls the operation of the first motor 3 and the second motor 7 so that the cable 17 can be wound orderly on the stranding wheel 4.
[0027] Furthermore, the base 1 is equipped with wheels on its underside and a handle 2 is also mounted on the base 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the second shore power plug is located on one side of the stranded reel 4 and can be moved while maintaining an electrical connection with the cable 17, thus facilitating connection to the shore power box.
[0029] In this embodiment, the working process is as follows: During use, the first shore power plug and the protective socket 8 are separated, the second roller 19 is pulled up, and the cable 17 is passed between the first roller 18 and the second roller 19. The second roller 19 falls due to its own weight, and the cable 17 is pulled out to unfold it. The cable 17 is used to connect the dock shore power box and the ship shore power box. After use, the connection between the shore power plug and the corresponding shore power box is disconnected. The first motor 3 and the second motor 7 work simultaneously, and the stranding wheel 4 retracts the cable 17. Finally, the first shore power plug and the protective socket 8 are reconnected.
[0030] In addition, the drive component can be a handle or other component that can drive the stranded wheel 4 to rotate; a protective socket corresponding to the second shore power plug can also be provided on the stranded wheel 4; an elastic device can also be provided between the movable bracket 20 and the through frame 6 to press the second roller 19 tightly against the cable 17.
[0031] After the cable 17 is coiled up, the protective socket 8 and the shore plug are connected to protect the shore plug. A pre-tightening force is applied to the coiled cable 17 by the elastic rope 10 to prevent it from unraveling and making it difficult to manage, and also to prevent the shore plug from being bumped. The distance between the first roller 18 and the second roller 19 can be adjusted to accommodate cables 17 of different thicknesses, thus expanding the range of applications.
[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
