Embodiment 3

[0085] like Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 2, discloses a pipe laying method of an underwater pipe laying robot, comprising the following steps:

[0086] S1: The underwater pipe-laying robot is adsorbed on the mother ship through the crawler adsorption device 6, and walks on the surface of the mother ship;

[0087] S2: Disconnect the power system of the crawler adsorption device 6, and the underwater pipe-laying robot cancels the adsorption on the surface of the mother ship, so that the mother ship can drop the underwater pipe-laying robot in the ideal placement position;

[0088] S3: The propulsion device 7 operates to push the underwater pipe-laying robot to move in the water;

[0089] S4: The underwater pipe-laying robot moves to the pre-laying position on the seabed through the driving device 5;

[0090] S5: The pipeline trench excavation device 3 drives the ground drilling structure 301 to loosen soil on the seabed according to the pres...

Abstract

The invention provides an underwater pipe laying robot and a pipe laying method thereof. The underwater pipe laying robot comprises a support structure, a pipe laying adsorption platform, a pipeline ditch excavating device, a dust cleaning device, a driving device, a crawler adsorption device and a propelling device. The crawler adsorption device and the propelling device are arranged, so that the underwater pipe laying robot walks on the mother ship to enter the water autonomously, the underwater pipe laying robot reaches the pipe pre-laying position and the recycling position through the propelling device, the manual carrying time is shortened, and the working efficiency is improved; the pipeline ditch digging device is arranged, so that the land on the seabed can be sufficiently loosened, and even the hard seabed or stones can be crushed; and through the pipe laying adsorption platform, the angle of the pipe laying frame can be changed, so that the pipeline can be more conveniently put into a pipeline ditch, and the pipe laying efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of submarine pipeline laying equipment, and more particularly, to an underwater pipe laying robot and a pipe laying method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the deep sea, the pipeline burying operation is greatly affected by the environmental factors of the sea water. It is not possible to rely on the connection with the ship on the water surface to dig trenches like the shallow sea pipeline burial. Therefore, it is necessary to dig trenches that can be remotely controlled and have the ability to work autonomously. [0003] In the patent, a hydro-jet subsea trenching and pipe-laying robot includes a jetting system, a crawler walking system, a suction and lifting system, a pipe-laying system and a frame. The jetting system is used for deep trenching, including jetting Arm, nozzle, axial flow pump and retractable hydraulic cylinder; the crawler walking system is the walking power source of this trenching and pip...
