Abstract

To investigate the stress distribution and dynamic variation patterns of deep-sea winch systems during submersible cable towing operations and ensure operational safety, a novel dual-specification winch compatible with two distinct cable types was designed. The technical scheme, structural characteristics, and key parameters of the winch are introduced in detail. Simulation analyses are conducted based on both the physical model and the numerical simulation model established for the cable storage winch and cable management system. A systematic analysis of the stress and deformation of the cable storage winch and cable management system is carried out to verify the accuracy of the proposed models, providing a theoretical reference for the mechanical design and optimization of deep-sea winch systems.
