Abstract

A winch including a motor, a first reel holder, a second reel holder, a connecting structure used for connecting the first reel holder and the second reel holder, a rotatable reel, and a deceleration unit. The motor is connected to the first reel holder. The deceleration unit is connected to second reel holder. The winch further includes a housing, which is connected to the first reel holder. The motor is located in the housing. The housing is provided with an in-and-out structure used for an electrical connection to a power supply structure of the motor.

Claims (84)

1. A winch, comprising:

a motor,

a first reel holder,

a second reel holder,

a connecting structure connecting the first reel holder and the second reel holder,

a rotatable reel and

a deceleration unit,

wherein

the motor is connected to the first reel holder,

the deceleration unit is connected to second reel holder,

a housing, connected to the first reel holder,

the motor is located inside the housing, and

the housing is provided with an open end which has a first cut out opening therein, where an end surface of the open end which has the first cut out opening is in contact with the first reel holder and an electrical terminal, to which a power supply of the motor is connected, is positioned within the first cut out opening.

2. The winch according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing is a cylindrical housing, and

the end surface of the open end is attached to a side surface of the first reel holder provided on one side of the motor.

3. The winch according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing is provided with reinforcing ribs along a circumferential direction,

a mounting hole is provided at a position where the first reel holder and one end of the reinforcing ribs are attached to each other,

the mounting hole is inserted into a connecting piece to connect to the connecting structure,

after the housing is attached to the first reel holder, the mounting hole is covered by one end of the reinforcing rib.

4. The winch according to claim 1 , further comprising

a decorative shell,

wherein

the decorative shell is connected to the deceleration unit to form an integral shape,

the integral shape is bilaterally symmetrical or substantially bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the shape of the housing.

5. A winch, comprising

a motor,

a control unit,

a first reel holder,

a second reel holder,

a connecting structure connecting the first reel holder and the second reel holder,

a rotatable reel, and

a deceleration unit,

wherein

the motor is connected to the first reel holder,

the deceleration unit is connected to second reel holder;

the control unit comprises a contactor,

a housing, forming a chamber together with the first reel holder,

wherein the motor is located in the chamber;

the housing is provided with an open end which has a first cut out opening therein, where an end surface of the open end which has the first cut out opening is in contact with the first reel holder and a first electrical connection terminal, to which a power supply structure of the motor is connected, is positioned within the first cut out opening;

the power supply structure comprises the first electrical connection terminal electrically connected to the contactor,

the control unit is adjacent to the first electrical connection terminal, or the control unit extends toward the first electrical connection terminal to cover the first electrical connection terminal, and

the first electrical connection terminal is electrically connected to the contactor via a conductor.

6. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

a transition piece is provided on a circuit between the first electrical connection terminal and the contactor,

the first electrical connection terminal is electrically connected to the transition piece via a first conductor, and

the transition piece is electrically connected to the contactor via a second conductor.

7. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the control unit comprises a mounting plate,

one end of the mounting plate extends outward;

a portion extending outward is adjacent to the first electrical connection terminal,

a transition piece is mounted on the portion extending outward,

the first electrical connection terminal is electrically connected to the transition piece via a first conductor,

the transition piece is electrically connected to the contactor via a second conductor.

8. The winch according to claim 7 , further comprising

a cover,

wherein the cover is used for covering exposed portions of the first electrical connection terminal, the first conductor, the transition piece, and the second conductor.

9. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the housing is a cylindrical housing with a closed end and the open end,

the end surface of the open end is attached to the first reel holder on a side surface located on one side of the motor;

the conductor extends into the first cut out opening and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminal.

10. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the housing is provided with reinforcing ribs along the circumferential direction,

a mounting hole is provided at a position where the first reel holder and one end of the reinforcing ribs are attached to each other,

the mounting hole is inserted into a connecting piece to connect to the connecting structure,

after the housing is attached to the first reel holder, the mounting hole is covered by one end of the reinforcing rib.

11. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the first electrical connection terminal comprises three terminals, including a carbon brush positive terminal, a stator positive terminal and a stator negative terminal,

the stator positive terminal, the carbon brush positive terminal, and the stator negative terminal are sequentially distributed along the circumferential direction of the motor, and

the carbon brush positive terminal is axially offset so that the three terminals are distributed along a triangle.

12. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the power supply structure comprises a carbon brush negative terminal,

a second opening is formed in a bottom of the housing,

a conductor of the carbon brush negative terminal electrically connected to a negative pole of the power supply structure goes in and out through the second opening.

13. The winch according to claim 5 , wherein

the connecting structure is located above the rotatable reel,

the control unit is located above the connecting structure and connected to the connecting structure, and

the first electrical connection terminal and the control unit are located on the same side.

14. The winch according to claim 5 , further comprising

a decorative shell,

wherein

the decorative shell is connected to the deceleration unit to form an integral shape,

the integral shape is bilaterally symmetrical or substantially bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the shape of the housing.
