In a chain crane, the term "ratchet" may not directly correspond to common crane component names, but we can explain its possible role in the crane or the function of similar functional components from the perspective of mechanical principles and similar mechanisms.

Firstly, it should be clarified that there is no standard component directly referred to as a "ratchet" in a chain crane. However, in mechanical transmission and locking mechanisms, ratchet wheels (also known as claws, stop claws, etc.) are typically used to achieve one-way movement or locking functions. In the context of cranes, although there is no component directly referred to as a ratchet, there is a similar one-way locking or braking mechanism to ensure the safety and stability of lifting operations.

These components with ratchet like functions may include:

Braking device: Cranes are usually equipped with braking devices to urgently stop the movement of the chain during lifting or lowering. These braking devices may use a principle similar to that of a ratchet, which locks the chain or transmission system through a mechanical structure when it is necessary to stop, preventing it from continuing to move.

One way clutch: In the transmission system of some cranes, a one-way clutch may be used to achieve one-way movement of the chain. Although this is not a traditional ratchet, it has a similar one-way locking function, allowing the chain to move freely in one direction and be locked in the opposite direction.

Safety lock hook: In some specific types of cranes, such as manual hoists or certain specially designed electric hoists, safety lock hooks or similar mechanisms may be used to ensure the stability of the load during lifting. These locking hooks may automatically lock under specific conditions, such as overload or sudden release, to prevent the load from falling off.
