Anchor handling equipment 起锚设备 The windlass(锚机) is the usual anchor handling device(锚操作设 备) where one machine may be used to handle both anchors. The rotating units consist of a cable lifter (锚链轮) with shaped snug(凸起部) to grip(握持,卡住) the anchor cable(锚链), a mooring drum(绞缆筒) for paying out(放出) or letting go(放 出) of mooring wires and a warp end(卷缆端) for warping duties. A spur gear assembly(正(直)齿 轮组) transmits the motor drive to the shaft where the various dog clutches enable the power take-off (输出). The cable lifter unit, shown in Fig. 25-1, is mounted so as to raise and lower the cable锚链) from the spurling pipe(锚链管), which is at the top and centre of the chain or cable locker(锚链舱). Details of the snugs used to grip the cable and of the band brake can be seen. Anchor capstans(起锚绞盘) are used in some installations where the cable lifter rotates about a vertical axis. The efficient working of the anchor windlass is essential to the safety of the ship. An anchor windlass can expect to fulfill(满 足) the following: 2. The windlass must be able to heave(拉起,收起) a certain weight of cable at a specified speed. This “full load” duty of the windlass varies but is commonly between 4 and 6 times the weight of one anchor, the speed of haul (拉) being at least 9 m/min up to 15 m/min. 3. The braking effort obtained at the cable lifter must be at least equal to 40 per cent of the breaking strength(断裂强度) of the cable. Most anchor handling equipments incorporate warp ends for mooring purposes and line speeds of up to 0.75 to 1.00 m/sec are required. The most conventional(常用的) types of equipment in use are as follows. Windlasses This equipment is self-contained and normally one prime mover drives two cable lifters and two warp ends, the latter may not be declutchable(可离合的) and, if so, rotate when the cable lifters are engaged. There is some variation in detail design of cable lifters and in their drives. Alternatively, multi-steps of spur gears are used. Capstans: With this
