The utility model discloses a winch, which comprises a base, a capstan winch and a transmission unit. A driven shaft simultaneously penetrates two opposite baffles of the base and the capstan winch; one terminal of the driven shaft extends towards an outer shaft from one baffle; one baffle is used for arranging the transmission unit; the extending terminal of the driven shaft penetrates the turbine and the clutch of the transmission unit; the surface of the turbine is combined with the clutch; the annular edges of the turbine form teeth which are engaged with the teeth on the surface of a worm. After the electric motor of the transmission unit is started, the worm, the turbine, the clutch, the driven shaft and the capstan winch can be started in sequence, so as to wind or unwind the steel rope at the periphery of the capstan winch. When the winding or unwinding of the steel rope needs to be stopped, only the electric motor is required to be turned off, so the worm, the turbine and the other structures are sto
