Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yacht cable inspection technology, specifically to an inspection device for yacht cable anchors. Background Technology

[0002] Yacht mooring lines are essential mooring tools connecting yachts to docks and other vessels. They must possess high strength, abrasion resistance, and UV resistance. Common materials include nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. Nylon mooring lines, with their good elasticity and high strength, are widely used. Their specifications are classified by diameter and breaking strength, and the appropriate type must be selected based on the yacht's tonnage. Regular inspections of wear and tear are necessary to ensure navigational safety. Yacht mooring line inspection is crucial, directly impacting navigation and berthing safety. Long-term exposure to seawater, UV rays, and friction can easily cause wear, aging, and decreased strength in mooring lines. Failure to detect these issues promptly can lead to line breakage, causing yacht drift, collisions, and other accidents, endangering personnel and property. Regular inspection is a key aspect of ensuring yacht mooring safety.

[0003] Most yacht cable inspection devices on the market use tensile testing equipment. However, due to the lack of protective structures, the cables are prone to breakage during tensile testing. The broken cables, carrying enormous accumulated tension, rebound violently, posing a certain life threat to the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an inspection device for yacht mooring lines, which has the advantage of protecting the mooring lines around the perimeter during testing. This solves the problem that the lack of protective structure in tensile testing equipment leads to the mooring lines easily breaking during tensile testing, and the broken mooring lines, carrying huge accumulated tension, rebound wildly, posing a certain threat to the lives of the workers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a yacht mooring rope inspection device, comprising a support frame, a controller, and a tensile testing mechanism. Two controllers are provided, fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the support frame on opposite sides. Two tensile testing mechanisms are provided, fixedly connected to the controllers on opposite sides. The tensile testing mechanism penetrates the inner wall of the support frame, and a protective mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the support frame.

[0006] The protective mechanism is provided in two parts, each part including a protective shell, a first sliding groove, and a tension spring. The first sliding groove is formed on the upper surface of the support frame, and the lower surface of the protective shell is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove. Two tension springs are provided, with one end of each tension spring near the protective shell fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective shell, and the other end of each tension spring near the first sliding groove fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the protective shell is provided with a fixing shell, and two fixing shells are provided, with the lower surfaces of the two fixing shells fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective shell.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the fixed shell is provided with a clamping assembly. There are two clamping assemblies, each of which includes a clamping groove and a clamping member. The clamping groove is opened on the left surface of the right side of the fixed shell, and the outer surface of the clamping member is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second sliding groove is provided on the left surface of the fixed shell on the right side. There are two second sliding grooves, and the inner walls of the two second sliding grooves are slidably connected to the outer surface of the clamping member.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the clamping member is provided with a pushing assembly. There are two pushing assemblies, each including a pushing member and a spring. One end of the pushing member is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping member. The pushing member passes through the outer surface of the right-side fixed shell. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove, and the opposite end of the spring is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping member.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a collection component is provided on the lower surface of the support frame. The collection component includes a third chute and a collection box. There are two third chutes, both of which are opened on the lower surface of the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model solves the problem that the lack of protective structure in tensile testing equipment leads to the easy breakage of cables during tensile testing. The broken cables, carrying huge accumulated tension, rebound wildly, posing a certain threat to the lives of workers. The two protective shells are like two protective covers that can block the cables that may break during testing, preventing them from rebounding and hitting people or equipment. It is like adding a safety shell to the testing process.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an inspection device for yacht mooring lines, including a support frame 1, a controller 2 and a tensile testing mechanism 3. Two controllers 2 are provided, and the two controllers 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the support frame 1 on opposite sides. Two tensile testing mechanisms 3 are provided, and the two tensile testing mechanisms 3 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the controllers 2. The tensile testing mechanism 3 passes through the inner wall of the support frame 1. A protective mechanism 4 is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 1.

[0028] There are two protective mechanisms 4. The two protective mechanisms 4 include a protective shell 41, a first slide groove 42 and a tension spring 43. The first slide groove 42 is opened on the upper surface of the support frame 1. The lower surface of the protective shell 41 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove 42. There are two tension springs 43. The end of the two tension springs 43 near the protective shell 41 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective shell 41, and the end of the tension spring 43 near the first slide groove 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove 42.

[0029] Specifically, the two protective shells 41 are joined together like two protective shields, which can block the cable that may break during the test and prevent it from hitting people or equipment, just like adding a safety shell to the test process.

[0030] Furthermore, the yacht cable is looped onto the surface of the tensile testing mechanism 3. Then, the two protective shells 41 are pushed to move along the inner wall of the first groove 42 to the opposite side. When the protective shells 41 move, they can pull the tension spring 43, causing the tension spring 43 to generate tension until the two protective shells 41 are in contact with each other on the opposite side, thus fixing the two protective shells 41. Finally, the tensile testing mechanism 3 is started by the controller 2 to perform tensile testing on the yacht cable.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] In the second embodiment of this utility model, a fixing shell 5 is provided on the upper surface of the protective shell 41. There are two fixing shells 5, and the lower surfaces of the two fixing shells 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective shell 41.

[0033] The inner wall of the fixed shell 5 is provided with a clamping component 6. There are two clamping components 6. The two clamping components 6 include a clamping groove 61 and a clamping element 62. The clamping groove 61 is opened on the left surface of the right fixed shell 5. The outer surface of the clamping element 62 is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 61.

[0034] The left surface of the right fixed shell 5 is provided with a second sliding groove 7. There are two second sliding grooves 7, and the inner walls of the two second sliding grooves 7 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the clamping member 62.

[0035] The outer surface of the clamping member 62 is provided with a pushing component 8. There are two pushing components 8, each including a pushing member 81 and a spring 82. The pushing member 81 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping member 62 at one end and passes through the outer surface of the right-side fixed shell 5. The spring 82 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 7 at one end and fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping member 62 at the other end.

[0036] Specifically, this design allows the clamping element 62 to enter the clamping groove 61 simply by fitting the two protective shells 41 together, thus fixing the fitted protective shells 41 in their current position. This saves time and effort and is simple and easy to operate.

[0037] Furthermore, by moving the two protective shells 41 to opposite sides, the protective shells 41 can drive the fixed shell 5 to move together, causing the right surface of the left fixed shell 5 to press against the inclined surface of the clamping member 62. The clamping member 62 is forced to move inward along the inner wall of the second sliding groove 7. When the clamping member 62 moves, it can compress the spring 82, causing the spring 82 to generate elastic force until the distance between the clamping members 62 is equal to the distance between the clamping grooves 61. Only then can the clamping member 62 enter the interior of the clamping groove 61. At the same time, the spring 82 releases its elastic force, pushing the clamping member 62 to fit tightly against the clamping groove 61, thus completing the fixation of the two protective shells 41.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] In the third embodiment of this utility model, a collection component 9 is provided on the lower surface of the support frame 1. The collection component 9 includes a third slide 91 and a collection box 92. There are two third slides 91, both of which are opened on the lower surface of the support frame 1. The upper surface of the collection box 92 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the third slide 91.

[0040] A handle 10 is provided on the front surface of the collection box 92, and the rear end face of the handle 10 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the collection box 92.

[0041] Specifically, during testing, any broken cable fragments will automatically fall into collection box 92, preventing them from scattering everywhere and keeping the work surface and floor clean, saving staff time on subsequent cleaning.

[0042] Furthermore, after the tensile test, the yacht cable breaks, and the broken cable will produce a large amount of debris. The debris falls into the collection box 92. After a long period of use, the staff pulls the handle 10 outward, and the handle 10 moves the collection box 92 outward along the inner wall of the third slide 91 until the collection box 92 is taken out and the residue inside the collection box 92 is cleaned up.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The yacht cable is looped onto the surface of the tension testing mechanism 3. Then, the two protective shells 41 are pushed to move along the inner wall of the first slide groove 42 to opposite sides. When the protective shells 41 move, they can pull the tension spring 43, causing the tension spring 43 to generate tension until the two protective shells 41 are pressed together on opposite sides. At the same time, the protective shells 41 can drive the fixed shell 5 to move together, so that the right surface of the left fixed shell 5 presses against the inclined surface of the clamping member 62. The clamping member 62 is forced to move inward along the inner wall of the second slide groove 7. When the clamping member 62 moves, it can... The spring 82 is compressed, causing it to generate elastic force until the distance between the clamping parts 62 is equal to the distance between the clamping grooves 61. Only then can the clamping parts 62 enter the clamping grooves 61. At the same time, the spring 82 releases its elastic force, pushing the clamping parts 62 to fit tightly into the clamping grooves 61, thus fixing the two protective shells 41. When the test is complete, simply press the pusher 81 inward to disengage the clamping parts 62 from the clamping grooves 61. At this time, the tension spring 43 releases its tension, pulling the protective shells 41 back to their initial position.

[0045] During the tensile test, the yacht cable may break, and the broken cable will produce a lot of debris. The debris will fall into the collection box 92. After a long period of use, the staff will pull the handle 10 outward, and the handle 10 will move the collection box 92 outward along the inner wall of the third slide 91 until the collection box 92 is taken out and the residue inside the collection box 92 is cleaned up.

[0046] In summary, the combination of protective mechanism 4, fixed shell 5, clamping component 6, second slide 7, pushing component 8, collecting component 9 and handle 10 solves the problem that the lack of protective structure in the tensile testing equipment makes the cable prone to breakage during tensile testing. The broken cable, carrying a huge accumulated tension, rebounds wildly, posing a certain threat to the lives of the staff.
