The present disclosure relates to the technical field of winch hook guide rails, and in particular to a multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system.
A winch is a mechanical device with a vertically mounted warping end that is capable of winding up but not storing a rope under the action of a driving force, and also refers to a windlass with a rotational axis perpendicular to a deck, as well as a self-protection and towing device for vehicles and ships. The winch can be used for self rescue and assistance in harsh environments like snow, swamps, deserts, beaches, and muddy mountain roads.
When the winch is installed on a vehicle, a winch hook needs to be exposed. To facilitate storage and limiting of the winch hook, a multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail device is required.
The winch hook on a similar winch is suspended on a corresponding ring, and shakes with vehicle movement, which is aesthetically unpleasing and easily produces noises.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system to solve the above problems.
The present disclosure provides a multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system, which solves the problems of aesthetic impairment and noise caused by shaking of winch hooks suspended or hung on vehicle rings during vehicle movement.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system. The system includes: a storage buckle;
Preferably, a mounting opening is formed on the front face of the storage buckle at a position close to either end thereof respectively, and a through opening is formed on a back face of an inner wall of either of the mounting openings.
Preferably, a first mounting frame is fixedly connected to a back face of the storage buckle at a position close to a bottom thereof, and two first rotating blocks are mounted at a top of the first mounting frame at a position close to the back face of the storage buckle; and
Preferably, a bottom of the first mounting frame is provided with a drain outlet, and a first extrusion wheel is rotatably connected between the two first rotating blocks; and
Preferably, a second mounting frame is fixedly connected to the back face of the storage buckle at a position close to a top thereof, and a bottom of the second mounting frame is rotatably connected to a second extrusion wheel through two second rotating blocks.
Preferably, a top and a bottom of the storage buckle are both provided with threaded holes, a fixed frame is mounted on the outer surface of the storage buckle through bolts, the front face of the fixed frame is provided with a connection port, and magnetic blocks are installed on both sides of an inner wall of the connection port through bayonets; and

Specifically, the multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system provided in Example 2 of the present disclosure differs in that a first mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to a back face of the storage buckle 1 at a position close to a bottom thereof, and two first rotating blocks 15 are mounted at a top of the first mounting frame 14 at a position close to the back face of the storage buckle 1; and
A bottom of the first mounting frame 14 is provided with a drain outlet 20, and a first extrusion wheel 16 is rotatably connected between the two first rotating blocks 15; and
A second mounting frame 18 is fixedly connected to the back face of the storage buckle 1 at a position close to a top thereof, and a bottom of the second mounting frame 18 is rotatably connected to a second extrusion wheel 17 through two second rotating blocks 19; and
Compared with the prior art, the multifunctional stable winch hook guide rail system provided by the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:
To achieve the function of the storage buckle 1 in clearing water inside the rope, the first mounting frame 14 with the first rotating blocks 15 and the second mounting frame 18 with the second rotating blocks 19 are installed on the back face of the storage buckle 1, then the first extrusion wheel 16 and the second extrusion wheel 17 are installed between the two first rotating blocks 15 and between the two second rotating blocks 19 respectively, and a position between the first extrusion wheel 16 and the second extrusion wheel 17 is aligned with a position of a movable opening 8. An extrusion force applied by the first extrusion wheel 16 and the second extrusion wheel 17 can be used to squeeze the rope.
