Ship anchor principle
After the ship breaks down, the anchor will sink to the bottom of the water under the traction of the anchor chain, and it will lie flat. When the ship is disturbed, the anchor at the bottom of the water will be subjected to a horizontal force, and the gravity of the anchor itself will act on the contact point between the fluke and the bottom of the water. The resultant force of the two forces will make the anchor move obliquely downward, and after the anchor is pulled into the bottom of the water, it can provide berthing capacity for the ship.
Brief introduction of ship anchor
Anchor generally refers to ship anchor, which is the main part of mooring equipment, and its main function is to stop the ship. In ancient times, the anchor of a ship was a big stone or a basket full of stones, which was called an anchorage. The anchorage was tied with rope and sank to the bottom, and the ship anchored according to its weight. Later, there was a wooden claw stone anchor, that is, wooden claws were tied to both sides of the stone to anchor the ship by weight and grip. Modern anchors are made of cast steel or forged steel, and there are four main types, namely, rod anchors, rodless anchors, large-grip anchors and special anchors.
