Problems solved by technology

Manual repair of damaged submarine cables not only takes a long time to repair, but also costs a lot, and also poses a high safety risk
Underwater robots can replace divers for long-term operations in the deep sea. At present, there are examples of underwater robots cooperating with submarine cable operation and maintenance at home and abroad, but the functions involved in operations are relatively simple and single, and there are still some requirements for automation and efficiency certain gap

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The system composition of the amphibious robot for submarine cable operation and maintenance mainly includes the underwater carrier system, the surface retractable system, the control system, and the power and auxiliary subsystems.

[0024] 1. Underwater carrier system

[0025] The underwater carrier system takes the amphibious robot 3 as the main body, and is mainly composed of manipulator 3.1, carrier frame 3.7, buoyancy chamber and ballast 3.10, propulsion system 3.4, power system 3.8, control cabin 3.9, crawler track 3.2, water jet trenching 3.3, It consists of a cable tracker 3.5, an attitude sensor 3.6, a sonar camera and working tools.

[0026] The attitude sensor is used to detect the attitude, depth and crawling heading of the carrier, and the feedback value of these sensors can be used for automatic control. Sonar and camera are used for submarine cable detection and fault inspection, and cable tracker is used for accurate cable burial information acquisition...

Abstract

The invention provides an amphibious robot applied to submarine cable operational maintenance. The system compositions of the amphibious robot applied to submarine cable operational maintenance mainly comprise an underwater carrier system, an on-water launching and recovery system, a control system and a power and assistance subsystem. An amphibious robot carrier is used for submarine cable operational maintenance, and the amphibious robot carrier has good computability and upgradability and is adaptable to work in different sea areas under different sea conditions. The amphibious robot carrier completes daily patrol, fault locating and eliminating, cable grabbing and finishing and cable flushing burying work of the submarine cables through cooperation with multiple kinds of detection instruments, devices and sensors. The amphibious robot is suitable for submarine cable operational maintenance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention proposes construction equipment in the field of electric power, in particular an amphibious robot used in operation and maintenance of submarine cables. Background technique [0002] With the promotion of the application of submarine cables, the problem of submarine cable damage caused by the harsh operating environment of submarine cables and frequent offshore fishing activities has become increasingly prominent. Manual repair of damaged submarine cables not only takes a long time to repair, but also requires high repair costs, as well as high safety risks. Underwater robots can replace divers for long-term operations in the deep sea. At present, there are examples of underwater robots cooperating with submarine cable operation and maintenance at home and abroad, but the functions involved in operations are relatively simple and single, and there are still some requirements for automation and efficiency A certain gap. Contents of the ...
