The anchor is equivalent to the hand brake in the car for the ship, and it is an indispensable equipment to ensure the safety of the ship. Ship anchors are mainly composed of anchor crown, pin shaft, anchor claw, anchor handle, anchor rod (also called cross rod or stabilizer rod) and anchor shackle.
Good material casts an anchor, and we never achieve quality. Qidao ship anchor is made of carbon steel material, the surface is hot-dip galvanized, and it is not rusty, suitable for freshwater lakes and sea fishing. Enlarged four claws, strong grip, coupled with resistance generated by its own weight, can effectively prevent the boat from drifting. The hardness is large, even if it hits or rubs on the reef, it will not produce dents or scratches. It can be folded up when not in use, which saves space and is convenient to carry. When in use, move the lock ring to the front end of the anchor blade, and rotate and buckle the lock ring to fix the anchor claw. A variety of specifications are available to meet the shopping needs of different people. In the case of fishing, it is recommended to tie two anchors to a boat so that it is not easy to spin around.
Ship anchoring is a common method of berthing. The process is roughly as follows: The anchor connected by the anchor chain or cable is dropped into the water to land on the ground and bites into the soil. The holding force generated by the anchor is consolidated with the bottom of the water, and the ship is firmly anchored in the predetermined position. Different waters, meteorological conditions and operational requirements, and anchor casting methods are different. Common methods include first anchor, tail anchor, and end anchor.
Precautions for breaking down:
Because the anchor chain has been used for a long time, it wears heavily. When the anchor is dropped on the hard substrate, and the anchoring speed is too fast, the anchor will break and cause the anchor to be lost. The loss of the anchor can be prevented. The anchor shackle should be carefully checked before the ship sails, and if it is loose, it should be dealt with in time. The anchor chain shall be overhauled and replaced on time in accordance with ship inspection requirements. As long as the above two points are added. The speed should be appropriate when the anchor is lifted up, and the anchor will not be lost. With the development of science and technology and the shipbuilding industry, new types of anchors will continue to appear, which will provide a reliable guarantee for the safety of ships.
Anchor method:
Only when the anchor chain is inclined at a certain distance from the ship, can it have the pulling force to fix the ship. So the first thing to do when anchoring is to solve this problem. Start the windlass to tighten the anchor chain, and the ship will move in the direction of the anchor. When the anchor link is nearly vertical, the anchor will be retracted. If both the front and rear anchors are lowered, first loosen one chain, tighten the other chain, lift out an iron anchor, and then lift another iron anchor.
skills:
When in use, ensure that the length of the anchor rope is 3 times the depth of the water, so that the anchor is inclined to grip the ground, and the angle of the formation of the grip is 0 to 60 degrees. If the anchor is perpendicular to the water, there is no grip.
