Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding, and in particular to a lifeboat rope deployment and retrieval structure. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, lifeboat deployment and retrieval structures employ two sets of independent rotating arms symmetrically arranged to improve lifting stability, with two sets of ropes connecting the two sides of the lifeboat for lifting. While this type of structure can balance the force to some extent, it is complex, the two sets of arms occupy a large space, and operational flexibility is limited in confined areas such as the ship's deck; at the same time, the pulleys lack anti-derailment limits, and there is still a possibility of rope derailment, so the stability of deployment and retrieval needs to be improved.

[0005] Preferably, the ends of the two sets of steel wire ropes passing through the limiting ring are connected to a crossbar, and a hoisting sling is provided below the crossbar to connect and fix it to the lifeboat.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0016] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component 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. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The terms "horizontal," "vertical," and "suspended," etc., do not indicate that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" 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.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a lifeboat rope deployment and retrieval structure includes a main rotating arm 1, a support arm 2, a connecting cross arm 3, and a steel wire rope 4. The support arm 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the main rotating arm, and the center of the connecting cross arm 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the support arm 2. Limiting rings 5 are provided at both ends of the connecting cross arm 3, and main pulleys 6 are provided inside the limiting rings 5. Reinforcing ribs 7 are symmetrically provided between the connecting cross arm 3 and the support arm 2. A set of auxiliary pulleys 8 are provided on the connecting cross arm 3 and the reinforcing ribs 7. Steering pulleys 9 are provided at the junction of the reinforcing ribs 7 and the connecting cross arm 3, and at the junction of the reinforcing ribs 7 and the support arm 2. The steel wire rope 4 is connected to the main pulleys 6 through the auxiliary pulleys 8 and the steering pulleys 9, passes through the limiting rings 5, and extends downward to connect with the lifeboat 10.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the two sets of steel wire ropes 4 after passing through the limiting ring 5 are connected to a crossbar 11. Below the crossbar 11, there is a hoisting sling 12 that is connected and fixed to the lifeboat 10. The crossbar can enhance the stability of the steel wire ropes during release and retraction.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the main pulley 6 consists of a rotating shaft 601 and a pulley 602. The rotating shaft 601 is placed inside the limiting ring 5. The pulley 602 is recessed in the middle. The pulley 602 has protruding extension plates 6021 on both sides. The extension plates 6021 have a small gap with the inner wall of the limiting ring 5. The limiting ring 5 is square in shape. The square structure can cooperate with the pulley. The protruding extension plates on both sides further reduce the gap with the inner wall of the square limiting ring. This double protection ensures that the wire rope always moves in close contact with the pulley groove and prevents the rope from slipping.
[0021] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a guide cylinder 13 is provided in front of the auxiliary pulley 8. The guide cylinder 13 is a through-tube structure. The openings at both ends of the guide cylinder 13 are turned outward to form arc-shaped rolled edges 1301. The guide cylinder can guide the wire rope before it enters the auxiliary pulley, ensuring that the rope enters the auxiliary pulley groove accurately. The arc-shaped rolled edge design at both ends can effectively prevent the rope from being scratched by the opening edge when entering and exiting the guide cylinder, thus protecting the structural integrity of the wire rope.
[0022] The working principle of this invention is explained as follows: During operation, the main rotating arm can adjust the overall frame angle to facilitate alignment with the lifeboat deployment and retrieval position. The steel wire rope sequentially passes through the guide tube for pre-guidance, changes direction via auxiliary pulleys, and further adjusts its path via steering pulleys before finally winding around the main pulley. The main pulley rotates stably within a square limiting ring, and recessed grooves and extension plates prevent the rope from slipping, driving the rope to be deployed and retracted along a preset path. The ends of the two sets of ropes are kept tension-balanced by crossbars, and the lower hoisting rigging connects to the lifeboat to prevent tilting during lifting and lowering. During rope retraction, power drives the rope upward along the pulley group, synchronously pulling the lifeboat via the crossbars; during rope release, the rope is slowly lowered, with each pulley and guide tube working together to ensure the rope does not deviate, achieving stable deployment and retrieval of the lifeboat.
[0023] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the design concept of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical content for which protection is sought in the present invention has been fully described in the claims.
