Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diving umbilical winches, specifically a portable diving umbilical winch. Background Technology

[0002] Diving umbilical winches are mainly used for heavy umbilical cords such as open and closed diving bells, and are the main equipment for deploying and retrieving the umbilical cord from diving bells. They are also used for deploying and retrieving the umbilical cords of light divers from high-altitude environments such as dams, bottom-dwelling boats, and shoveled boats. Based on the driving force, they can be classified as electric umbilical winches and hydraulic umbilical winches.

[0003] These umbilical winches are typically designed for offshore operations and are often quite large, weighing around 300 kilograms. When used on inland lakes, especially those located in mountainous areas where vehicles cannot pass, manual transport is required; existing diving umbilical winches are too large to move. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a portable underwater umbilical winch to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] A portable diving umbilical winch includes a frame and a winch, the winch being located inside the frame and having a winch groove, the frame having a motor, the output end of the motor being connected to the winch, and the frame having a lifting ring.

[0006] Furthermore, the motor is an electric motor or a hydraulic motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a clamping device, which includes a connecting plate, a fixing plate, a spring, and a screw. The connecting plate is rotatably mounted on the bracket and is provided with a clamping wheel and a connecting ring. The connecting ring is connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is connected to the screw. The screw is provided with two nuts. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bracket and is provided with a slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the support is equipped with an umbilical cord positioning device, which includes a support, a positioning rod, a first screw and a second screw. The support is equipped with a first screw and a straight groove. The positioning rod is equipped with an internal thread and is connected to the first screw. The straight groove is equipped with a second screw. The outside of the second screw is equipped with a sleeve, and the two ends of the second screw are equipped with nuts.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a tensioning ring.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this utility model are: small size, light weight, can be manually handled, low power consumption, and only needs to drive one motor to operate. Attached Figure Description
