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 provides a soft rope retrieval device, please refer to... Figures 1-3 The soft rope retrieval device includes a body 10, a clamping member 20, and a drive assembly 30. The clamping member 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the drive assembly 30 is used to drive the clamping member 20 to rotate relative to the body 10. As the clamping member 20 rotates, the clamping member 20 drives the soft rope 1 to move toward the body 10 and cooperates with the body 10 to clamp the soft rope 1.

[0020] According to the soft rope retrieval device in the above embodiments, the clamping member 20 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the driving component 30 drives the clamping member 20 to rotate relative to the body 10. During the rotation of the clamping member 20, the clamping member 20 drives the soft rope 1 to move towards the body 10, and finally the clamping member 20 and the body 10 cooperate to clamp and fix the soft rope 1. Since the soft rope retrieval device only has the body 10, the clamping member 20 and the driving component 30, the structure is simple, and therefore it can retrieve heavy soft ropes 1.

[0021] In some specific embodiments, the drive assembly 30 includes a first crossbar 320, a second crossbar, and a drive member 330. The first crossbar 320 is fixed on the body 10, the drive member 330 is rotatably hinged to the first crossbar 320, the second crossbar is rotatably connected to the clamping member 20, and the drive member 330 passes through the second crossbar 320 and is screwed to the second crossbar 320.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first crossbar 320 is fixed to the body 10, and the second crossbar 320 is fixed to the clamping member 20. The driving member 330 first passes through the second crossbar 320 and then hinges to the first crossbar 320. The driving member 330 is also screwed to the clamping member 20. Therefore, when the driving member 330 rotates, it will drive the clamping member 20 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the clamping member 20 to clamp the soft rope 1. Since the driving member 330 and the second crossbar 320 are screwed together, when the clamping member 20 and the body 10 cooperate to clamp the soft rope 1, even if the weight of the soft rope 1 is very large, it will not cause the clamping member 20 and the body 10 to loosen. With this setting, it can be ensured that the weight of the soft rope 1 cannot drive the rotation of the clamping member 20, thereby enabling the retrieval of heavy soft ropes 1.

[0023] The number of clamping elements 20 is generally multiple, and they are arranged parallel to each other at intervals. Multiple clamping elements 20 are typically threaded through the second crossbar 320. On the one hand, this ensures that the probability of the clamping elements 20 gripping the soft rope 1 is increased during the clamping process. On the other hand, it allows the movements of the multiple clamping elements 20 to be synchronized.

[0024] The second crossbar 320 has an internal thread in the radial direction, and the outer surface of the drive member 330 has an external thread that matches the internal thread. Since the drive member 330 is rotatable, its connection to the first crossbar 320 is also rotatable, equivalent to a bearing connection.

[0025] In some specific embodiments, the end of the drive member 330 away from the first crossbar 320 is provided with a drive part 3310.

[0026] The main function of the drive unit 3310 is to drive the drive component 330 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping component 20. The structure of the drive unit 3310 can vary. For example, the drive unit 3310 may be T-shaped, enabling rotation of the drive component 330. Alternatively, the drive unit 3310 may be handwheel-shaped (a handwheel is a component in a traditional valve that is manually operated), facilitating rotation by the operator. Regardless of the specific structure of the drive unit 3310, as long as it enables rotation of the drive component 330, it falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] In some specific embodiments, 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.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 210 of the clamping member 20 is an outwardly protruding arc shape, which can better contact the soft rope 1, thereby moving the soft rope 1 toward the body 10. Furthermore, the middle part of the outwardly arc-shaped first clamping portion 210 contacts the soft rope 1 first, which can ensure that the soft rope 1 can move toward the body 10 and be clamped by the body 10 and the clamping member 20.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, the first clamping part 210 is provided with a first anti-slip texture 220.

[0030] 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.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the second clamping part 110 is further provided with a groove 140 for accommodating the soft rope 1.

[0040] 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 1.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, a connector 150 is also included, which is disposed on the clamping member 20 or the body 10 and is used to connect to an external device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 150 is used to connect an external device. The external device can be a rope, which is telescopically connected to the connector 150, allowing the hull on the water surface to pull the rope, thereby retrieving the soft rope 1 to shore. The external device can also be an underwater robot, which is connected to the underwater robot, allowing the retrieval operation of the soft rope 1 to be carried out alongside the underwater robot's buoyancy.

[0043] Preferably, the connector 150 is disposed on the clamping member 20. In this way, the connector 150 can further strengthen the multiple clamping members 20, thereby synchronizing the movement of the clamping members.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the drive unit 3310 can also be a motor, etc. Through the automated driving of the drive unit 330, automated underwater retrieval of the soft rope 1 can be achieved.
