Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a retractable marine anti-piracy cable device according to a preferred embodiment of this utility model includes several cable brackets 1 and several pins 2. The cable brackets 1 are provided with a first fixing hole 11 and a second fixing hole 12. The cable brackets 1 are rotatably connected to the uprights 3 of the ship's railing via a connector 13, preferably a pivot bolt. The uprights 3 are provided with a first locking hole 31 and a second locking hole 32. An insulating member 14 is provided on the front side of the cable brackets 1, and the insulating member 14 is provided with a wire-passing hole for the cable to pass through. An opening slot 15 is provided on the rear side of the cable brackets 1 to cooperate with the crossbar 4 of the ship's railing. When the pins 2 are sequentially inserted into the first fixing hole 11 and the first locking hole 31, the cable brackets 1 are parallel to the uprights 3. When the pins 2 are sequentially inserted into the second fixing hole 12 and the second locking hole 32, the cable brackets 1 are perpendicular to the uprights 3. The pins 2 are preferably tongue-shaped pins 2, which facilitate quick insertion and removal and prevent the pins 2 from loosening. Among them, the ship railing is a conventional railing structure, and two adjacent uprights 3 are connected by a horizontal bar 4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dashed line portion in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the discharge wire support 1.

[0025] In this implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, a fixing plate 33 is welded to the lower rear side of the upright 3, and the second locking hole 32 is provided on the fixing plate 33 to increase the distance between the second fixing hole 12 and the connector 13, thereby improving the stability of the wire bracket 1 when it is horizontally locked to the upright 3.

[0026] In another implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, a triangular widening plate 34 is provided on the lower rear side of the upright 3, and the second locking hole 32 is provided on the triangular widening plate 34. The triangular widening plate 34 can not only improve the structural stability of the upright 3, but also increase the distance between the second fixing hole 12 and the connector 13, thereby improving the stability of the wire bracket 1 when it is horizontally locked on the upright 3.

[0027] For example, a connecting chain 21 is provided between the pin 2 and the wire bracket 1 to prevent the pin 2 from being lost.

[0028] Specifically, the first fixing hole 11 is located at the top of the wire bracket 1, the first locking hole 31 is located at the top of the column, the connecting hole and the second fixing hole 12 are located at the lower part of the wire bracket 1, and the second fixing hole 12 is located below the connecting hole. Furthermore, the connecting chain 21 is connected to the middle part of the wire bracket 1, increasing the distance between the first fixing hole 11 and the connector 13, and improving the stability of the wire bracket 1 when it is vertically locked to the column 3.

[0029] To facilitate locking the wire bracket 1 to the column, the first fixing hole 11, the connecting hole, and the second fixing hole 12 are located on the same straight line.

[0030] For example, each of the wire brackets 1 is provided with a plurality of insulating elements 14 spaced apart along its length, and the number and spacing of the insulating elements 14 in each wire bracket 1 are set according to actual needs. Further, an insulating element fixing plate 16 is provided on the front side of the wire bracket 1, and the insulating elements 14 are connected to the insulating element fixing plate 16 by bolts, which facilitates the installation of the insulating elements 14.

[0031] In summary, when a ship is navigating in safe waters, this utility model allows the wire bracket 1 to be stored and fixed on the guardrail post 3. The wire bracket 1 is vertically locked to the post 3 by inserting the pin 2 into the first fixing hole 11 and the first locking hole 31. Furthermore, the opening slot 15 prevents interference between the wire bracket 1 and the guardrail crossbar 4. The marine anti-piracy wire device is quick and convenient to store and reduces the space occupied on the ship. Before the ship enters dangerous waters, the pin 2 is removed, and the wire bracket 1 is lowered, causing it to rotate along the connector 13. When the second fixing hole 12 aligns with the second locking hole 32, the pin 2 is inserted into the second fixing hole 12 and the second locking hole 32, horizontally locking the wire bracket 1 to the post 3. This energizes the wire passing through the insulation member 14, preventing pirates from boarding. Moreover, the insulation member 14 effectively prevents the energized wire from conducting electricity to the guardrail, improving safety.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
