81 results about "Windlass" patented technology

The windlass /ˈwɪndləs/ is an apparatus for moving heavy weights. Typically, a windlass consists of a horizontal cylinder (barrel), which is rotated by the turn of a crank or belt. A winch is affixed to one or both ends, and a cable or rope is wound around the winch, pulling a weight attached to the opposite end. The oldest depiction of a windlass for raising water can be found in the Book of Agriculture published in 1313 by the Chinese official Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty (fl. 1290–1333). The Greek scientist Archimedes was the inventor of the windlass.

An anchoring structure, an anchor winch based on this structure, and a usage method

The present invention relates to the technical field of windlasses, and discloses an anchoring structure, a windlass based on this structure and a usage method. Through the setting of the connection component, when it is necessary for the windlass to simultaneously retrieve the ship anchor and the cable, the crew uses the lever to push the engagement shaft to dock with the engagement disc of the winch, becoming an integral whole. So that when the windlass drives the winch to rotate and retrieve the anchor chain, it can also synchronously drive the auxiliary drum to rotate, enabling the auxiliary drum to retrieve the cable. When it is necessary for the windlass to separately retrieve the ship anchor or the cable, the crew uses the lever to push the connecting shaft to separate from the engagement disc of the winch, making the winch and the auxiliary drum independent of each other, and capable of separately retrieving the ship anchor or the cable. Thus, the windlass can be applied to various situations, improving the applicability of the device.
