The operating principle of the anchor

1. The working principle of the anchor: the anchor claw is the most important part of the anchor caught in the soil. When the ship breaks down, the anchor sinks to the bottom of the water under the traction of the anchor chain. At the bottom of the water, due to the action of the anchor rod, the plane of the anchor wrist will be perpendicular to the bottom of the water, and the anchor claw will be in contact with the bottom of the water.

2. When the ship is disturbed (such as top waves), the anchor chain will be pulled, and the anchor at the bottom of the water will be subjected to a horizontal force at the connection of the anchor chain. At the same time, the gravity of the anchor itself acts on the anchor claw and the anchor chain. At the contact point on the bottom of the water, the combination of the two forces makes the anchor move diagonally downward, which is the process of the anchor sinking into the soil. After the anchor is pulled into the bottom, it can provide the ship with the ability to moor.

3. The anchor is equivalent to the handbrake in the car for the ship. It is an indispensable device to ensure the safety of the ship. The role of the anchor is to fix and stabilize the ship. It is best to hook the fixed things in the water. Another factor that stops in the water is the anchor chain, and the weight of the anchor chain is also an important factor in fixing the ship.
