Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] This utility model embodiment provides a soft rope retrieval device, please refer to... Figures 1-3 It includes a body 10, a clamping member 20, and a telescopic member 30; the clamping member 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the two ends of the telescopic member 30 are rotatably connected to the body 10 and the clamping member 20, respectively. The telescopic member 30 is used to extend and retract to drive the clamping member 20 to rotate relative to the body 10. The clamping member 20 and the body 10 cooperate to clamp the soft rope 1.

[0020] Using the soft rope retrieval device of this embodiment, the clamping member 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the two ends of the telescopic member 30 are respectively connected to the clamping member 20 and the body 10. The telescopic member 30 extends and retracts, thereby driving the clamping member 20 to rotate relative to the body 10. During the rotation, the clamping member 20 moves the soft rope 1 onto the body 10 and clamps and fixes the soft rope 1 to the body 10. The two ends of the telescopic member 30 are rotatably connected to the body 10 and the clamping member 20 respectively, so that the telescopic member 30 can extend and retract without interfering with the rotation between the clamping member 20 and the body 10. The soft rope retrieval device of this utility model has only three main components, has a simple structure, and can realize the retrieval operation of a heavy soft rope 1.

[0021] It should be noted that the telescopic component 30 can generally be a hydraulic telescopic component. The telescopic movement of the hydraulic telescopic component is controlled by the hydraulic system of the underwater drone. The hydraulic telescopic component has very strong compressive and tensile strength, and will not cause the soft rope 1 to come loose due to excessive weight when salvaging some soft ropes 1 (such as large-diameter cables).

[0022] In one embodiment, a first crossbar 310 is also included, and there are at least two clamping members 20, with the multiple clamping members 20 spaced apart. The first crossbar 310 connects the multiple clamping members 20 so that the clamping members 20 rotate synchronously, and one end of the telescopic member 30 is connected to the first crossbar 310.

[0023] The flexible rope 1 is generally very long, and during underwater operations, water currents can cause fluctuations, making it difficult for the clamping member 20 to accurately grip the rope 1. Using multiple clamping members 20 increases the probability of them securing the rope 1 during the gripping process. The first crossbar 310 connects multiple clamping members 20, and one end of the telescopic member 30 is connected to the first crossbar 310, thus synchronizing the movements of the multiple clamping members 20. Underwater salvage operations are crucial, and this design primarily serves as a double safety measure.

[0024] In one embodiment, a second crossbar 320 is also included, which is fixed to the body 10, and one end of the telescopic member 30 is rotatably connected to the second crossbar 320.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second crossbar 320 is fixed to the body 10, and one end of the telescopic member 30 is rotatably connected to the second crossbar 320. Therefore, when the telescopic member 30 extends or retracts, the body 10 and the clamping member 20 will rotate relative to each other. The second crossbar 320 and the relative telescopic member 30 rotate synchronously.

[0026] In one embodiment, the clamping member 20 has a first clamping part 210 on the side facing the body 10, and the first clamping part 210 is outwardly arc-shaped.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 210 of the clamping member 20 is an outwardly convex arc shape, which allows for better contact with the soft rope 1, thereby moving the soft rope 1 towards the body 10. Furthermore, the middle portion of the outwardly arc-shaped first clamping portion 210 contacts the soft rope 1 first, ensuring that the soft rope 1 can move towards the body 10 and be clamped by the body 10 and the clamping member 20. Otherwise, normally the end of the clamping member 20 contacts the soft rope 1 first and moves the soft rope 1 towards the body 10. During the movement of the soft rope 1 towards the body 10, if the clamping member 20 is too long, it will touch the bottom and lift the body 10; if the clamping member 20 is too short, it will be unable to move the soft rope 1 into the body 10.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first clamping part 210 is provided with a first anti-slip texture 220.

[0029] The first anti-slip texture 220 is mainly to provide sufficient friction between the first clamping part 210 and the soft rope 1, so as to prevent the soft rope 1 from moving relative to the first clamping part 210.

[0030] In one embodiment, the body 10 is provided with a second clamping part 110 in the area corresponding to the first clamping part 210, and the second clamping part 110 is in the shape of a right angle or an acute angle.

[0031] The second clamping part 110 is shaped like a right angle or an acute angle. Therefore, when the clamping member 20 moves the soft rope 1 to the second clamping part 110 on the body 10, the soft rope 1 will be restricted by the second clamping part 110 and will not continue to move. At this time, the clamping member 20 can cooperate with the body 10 to achieve the clamping and fixing of the soft rope 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the second clamping part 110 is at a right angle or an acute angle, so it can accommodate the soft rope 1 with some space, thereby avoiding excessive compression of the soft rope 1 by the clamping member 20, which would cause the soft rope 1 to break.

[0033] In one embodiment, the second clamping part 110 is provided with a second anti-slip texture 120, and the anti-slip directions of the first anti-slip texture 220 and the second anti-slip texture 120 are not parallel.

[0034] The first anti-slip texture 220 and the second anti-slip texture 120 are not parallel in direction. Therefore, the frictional forces between the clamping member 20 and the soft rope 1, and between the body 10 and the soft rope 1, are in different directions, thus limiting the soft rope 1 in various directions. This design can prevent the soft rope 1 from moving relative to the body 10 and the clamping member 20 during the retrieval process, which could cause the broken end of the soft rope 1 to come out of the soft rope retrieval device.

[0035] Specifically, the friction direction of the first anti-slip texture 220 is arranged radially along the soft rope 1, thereby ensuring that the soft rope 1 will not slide along the first clamping part 210 when the clamping member 20 moves. The friction direction of the second anti-slip texture 120 is arranged axially along the soft rope 1, thereby preventing the soft rope 1 from moving relative to the soft rope retrieval device in its axial direction. Ideally, the friction directions of the first anti-slip texture 220 and the second anti-slip texture 120 should be perpendicular to each other.

[0036] In one embodiment, the body 10 is further provided with a guide surface 130, which is used to allow the soft rope 1 to enter the second clamping part 110 along the guide surface 130.

[0037] The guide surface 130 provides a guiding function for the soft rope 1 as it enters the second clamping part 110. This not only prevents the soft rope 1 from failing to enter the second clamping part 110 during movement, but also allows the soft rope retrieval device to automatically lift the soft rope 1 from the bottom of the water and into the second clamping part 110 when it is actively driven to move toward the soft rope 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, a protrusion 160 is provided at the end of the bottom surface of the body 10 away from the guide surface 130. The protrusion 160 is used to suspend the bottom of the body 10 and tilt towards the guide surface 130.

[0039] In this embodiment, the protrusion 160 suspends the bottom of the body 10 and tilts the bottom towards the guide surface 130. This further facilitates the clamping member 20 in moving the soft rope 1 into the body 10. By setting the protrusion 160, the edge of the guide surface 130 can be kept in contact with the bottom, and the guide surface 130 will not be raised relative to the bottom due to the unevenness of the bottom.

[0040] In one embodiment, a connector 150 is also provided, which is fixedly connected to the body 10 or the clamping member 20, and is used to connect to an external device.

[0041] The connector 150 is mainly used to connect external equipment, such as an underwater robot, so that the underwater robot can move the soft rope retrieval device to the soft rope 1. The connector 150 is generally fixedly connected to the body 10 or the clamping member 20, preferably to the clamping member 20. By connecting multiple clamping members 20, the synchronous movement of the multiple clamping members 20 is further ensured.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the second clamping part 110 is further provided with a groove 140 for accommodating the soft rope 1.

[0043] Generally, the cross-section of the soft rope 1 is circular. To prevent the clamping member 20 and the body 10 from excessively compressing the soft rope 1, causing it to break or crack, the groove 140 is also generally concave arc-shaped, thus fitting the surface of the soft rope 11.
