To meet the increasing demand from various fishing fields for training of fishing equipment operators, a fishing winch simulator was designed to train maritime students in the correct and safe operation of hydraulic winches under various load conditions related to fishing operations. The aim of this study is to describe the basic dynamic characteristics of the newly developed hydraulic fishing winch simulator and particularly to analyze the mechanical responses produced on the winch operation controls. The winch simulator consists of two winch units, a computer control and data acquisition system, a control consol and other associated mechanisms. When one winch is in hauling mode, the other one will always be in loading mode. The revolution speed of the hauling winch was controlled by a proportional directional control valve, and the braking torque of the loading winch was controlled by a proportional pressure control valve. The simulation experiments indicated that the dynamic characteristics of the hauling winch followed the braking response characteristics of the loading winch. The tests also showed that the warp speed and tension linearly depend on the pressure differential across the motor of the loading winch controlled by operating the proportional pressure control valve during the hauling operation. The experience gained from various training courses showed that the fishing winch simulator was very realistic and it was valuable for training novice winch operators. The results of the winch simulation exercise were recorded and used to evaluate the training on the operation and handling of the winch system. From these test results, we concluded that the tension acting on the warp during hauling operations can successfully be simulated by controlling the pressure differential across the motor with step changes of the control input signal to the proportional pressure control valve of the loading winch.

This paper contains the design specification and detail design for a towing winch system. We analyze operating condition of the system and decide the design specification for the winch system, and also perform a detail design for the subsystem such as hydraulic winch system, control equipment and power supplier at the full scale development. The performance of designed towing winch is established by load tests and sea trial tests.

The numerical analysis of the automatic ship mooring system which was equipped in the ship for trying to berth at the pier was performed in this study. The automatic ship mooring using hydraulic winch was a new method that had not need to change the existing devices and to help a pilot ship of outside. The numerical results of the proposed mooring system including ship motion were that the speed and rolling phenomenon of ship was affected by changing in the ship weight and affected the slope maintenance and yaw degree of ship if there has a trim of stern. Also, a static force of ship at the initial movement was important to calculate the mooring power. The moving force and inertial force of ship on the vertical direction was confirmed for the mooring stability. Therefore, the power and velocity of hydraulic mooring winch should be determined by considering the significant characteristics such as weight, velocity, inertial force and moving force of ship.

The structural safety of hydraulic winch drum and the gears are estimated by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the winch operation experiment. The mesh convergence test is performed and the applied force is the pressure on the drum converted from the rope tension in working condition. The stress of the drum calculated from the strain values of the winch operation experiment shows the agreement with that from the FEA. Most stress values are under the yield strength except for the small hole made for the wire rope fixation. The life of bearings in the drum is calculated using the life prediction formula with the reaction forces from the operation load. One of the two ball bearings shows the short life for impact condition, yet the real prototype winch system shows more life than the numerical value.

Hydraulic winches for transportation and logistics in the shipbuilding and marine plant fields require multi-stage planetary gear modules with high gear ratios. Due to environmental conditions in the ship, durability is crucial. Further, we are currently relying on foreign products. The development of domestic technology will reduce cost, save time, and improve the export market. Thus, we developed a multi-stage planetary gear module for a hydraulic winch and evaluated its performance through several tests of the hydraulic brake torque, maximum torque, and load endurance.

Generally most sluice gates are closed and opened by a mechanical winch, a winch using an oil-pressure, or a winch mixing both. Because of their size and structure, they should be safely operated with more than two pulling devices helping each other. At the moment of their opening and closing, there usually occur some additional loads to the structure which cannot be exactly measurable at the stage of designing. Such additional loads can cause the sluice gate to be unbalanced and make it hard to open and close the gate, and by also overloading a winch, they can inflict a significant damage to the safety of the sluice gate. This paper explains a FDC(Force-Displacement Control) system which simultaneously considered the oil-pressure and displacement in order to evenly distribute the force and make a winch balanced at the opening and closing motion. This FDC system was implemented by means of the PID(Proportional Integral Derivative) function of XG 5000 program. It was experimented on a model of the sluice gate winch with the hydraulic oil pressure cylinder. The experiments showed that the developed FDC system made the winch of hydraulic oil pressure cylinder open and close cooperatively in spite of various external loads. Therefore the FDC system is proven effective when it is applied to a winch of sluice gate.

Maritime deck machinery relies heavily on the importation of components produced by overseas companies. Our research defines design parameters for hydraulic winch regulators used in maritime deck machinery. Using Amesim, we were able to conduct 1D modeling, and utilizing CFS then enabled us to create 3D models. These models were analyzed in our research for changes in pressure on each port that resulted from the regulator's spring constant and changes in the primary tension-compression field. Our research then analyzed alterations in traits caused by changes in the length of overlap between the spool and sleeve. Last but not least, our research analyzed the trait alteration resulting from changing the interval between the spool and sleeve. We believe the results of our research can be used to design a hydraulic winch regulator used in maritime deck machinery that does not require importation.
