[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 10, the cutter jetting trenching device includes a deep trench excavation assembly, which includes: a reamer section, which includes a plurality of circular reamers 110, preferably three reamers. Each circular reamer 110 includes: a reamer shaft 111, a rib 112, a cutting surface 113, and a cutting edge 114. The rib 112 is arranged circumferentially around the reamer shaft 111 and is radially arranged; preferably, three ribs are arranged. The cutting surface 113 is located on the side of the rib 112 away from the reamer shaft 111; the cutting edge 114 is located on the cutting surface. A slurry conveying assembly 130 is located behind the reamer section and includes: a first support plate 131, a drive wheel 132, a tensioning wheel 133, and a chain 134. The first support plate 131 extends along the length of the excavation body 100; the drive wheel 132 is rotatably connected to the first support plate; the tension wheel 133 is also rotatably connected to the first support plate; the chain 134 is adapted to the drive wheel 132 and the tension wheel 133; and the surface trench excavation section 150 is located on the rear side of the slurry conveying assembly. Preferably, the chain is also provided with a plurality of driven wheels 1321.

[0039] Because it is equipped with a deep trench excavation component, which includes a surface trench excavation section, it has both deep trench and surface trench excavation functions, making operation simpler and improving work efficiency to a certain extent.

[0040] Furthermore, the surface trench excavation section 150 includes: a slurry suction pipe 151, a high-pressure water passage 152, and a pipe shaft 153. The suction port 1511 of the slurry suction pipe 151 is located on the side of the slurry conveying assembly; the high-pressure water passage 152 is located on the lower side of the slurry suction pipe; the pipe shaft 153 is connected to the excavation device, and one end of the slurry suction pipe is rotatably connected to the pipe shaft.

[0041] With the above settings, trench excavation within 3 meters of the surface layer can be achieved. Specifically, high-pressure water jet is used to spray the soil through high-pressure water channel 152, and then the soil is sucked through the suction port 1511 of mud and water suction pipe 151.

[0042] Furthermore, two first support plates 131 are provided, forming a mud and water conveying channel between the two first support plates 131. A row of blades 135 is provided on the lower side of each of the two first support plates, and a plurality of second high-pressure nozzles 136 are provided between the two rows of blades 135.

[0043] As shown above, the soil is first broken by the reamer section, and then by a row of cutting teeth, which makes the soil breakage more thorough and facilitates the subsequent surface trench excavation work.

[0044] Furthermore, the front side of the mud and water conveying assembly is provided with a suction rake head 120, a rake head shaft 121, a first high-pressure nozzle 122, and a movable wall. The suction rake head 120 includes a rake head shaft 121, which is disposed on the inner wall of the suction rake head; the first high-pressure nozzle 122 is disposed on the lower side of the inner wall of the suction rake head; the movable wall is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the suction rake head 120, and a connecting pipe port 123 is also provided on the movable wall.

[0045] With the above setup, it is possible to excavate cable trenches up to 8 meters deep below the seabed mud surface. In the specific excavation process, layered excavation is carried out. The excavation of the top 3 meters of the trench is achieved through the surface trench excavation unit; the excavation of the deep trench is achieved through the cutter head and mud and water conveying assembly.

[0046] Furthermore, the cutter jet ditching device also includes a soil suction assembly 140, which comprises: a second support plate 141, a first suction pipe section 142, a second suction pipe section 143, a third suction pipe section 144, and a soil separator 145. The second support plate extends along the length of the excavation body 100; the first suction pipe section 142 is disposed on the upper side of the second support plate; one end of the second suction pipe section 143 is connected to one end of the first suction pipe section; one end of the third suction pipe section 144 is connected to the other end of the second suction pipe section; and the other end of the third suction pipe section 144 is connected to the inlet 1451 of the soil separator 145. Soil is input from the inlet, separated by centrifugal force, and output from the soil outlet 1452, while clean water is output from the clean water outlet 1453.

[0047] Furthermore, a pipe section support frame 1421 is provided on the lower side of the second support plate 141. The pipe section support frame is connected to the second support plate and is used to support the first suction pipe section. A pipe section clamping block 1422 is provided on the upper side of the second support plate and is clamped onto the first suction pipe section.

[0048] Furthermore, a cable laying assembly 160 is provided on the lower side of the soil suction assembly 140. The cable laying assembly 160 is connected to the excavation body 100. The cable laying assembly includes a cable laying pipe 161, a pressure plate 162, and a linear chute 1163. The cable laying pipe 161 extends along the length of the excavation body 100; the pressure plate 162 is disposed on one side of the cable laying pipe; and the pressure plate is slidably disposed in the linear chute 1163.

[0049] Furthermore, the cable laying assembly also includes an emergency cable abandonment switch 164, which is mounted on the excavation body and is rotated to abandon the cable via a pipe-opening shaft 1641.

[0050] As set up above, the side of the cable laying pipe 161 can be opened. By activating the emergency cable abandonment switch 164, the side guard plate can be opened, thereby enabling lateral cable abandonment in an emergency and separating the trenching device from the submarine cable.

[0051] The mud fragments, which are jet-cut and broken, are sucked away by the suction rake head 120, and then transported to the mud-water separator 145 through the first suction pipe section 142, the second suction pipe section 143 and the third suction pipe section 143. The mud-water mixture sucked out is filtered out by the mud-water separator, and then the mud is used on the cable laying assembly for filling the cables in the trench.

[0052] During trenching, cable laying is achieved through a cable laying assembly. The cable laying pipe can rotate around a pivot on one side, thereby smoothly burying the cable in the trench. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 162 can slide horizontally along the linear chute 163 to adjust its length. The suction rake head 120 can rotate around the rake head pivot 121, thereby achieving different angles between the suction rake head and the horizontal plane. The first high-pressure nozzle 122 on the lower inner wall of the suction rake head 120 is used to reduce the horizontal resistance during the cutting process of the suction rake head. The rotation of the suction rake head can be achieved through a hydraulic assembly 170, which includes a first hydraulic rod 171, a second hydraulic rod 172, and a third hydraulic rod 173. The first hydraulic rod is used to control and adjust the mud and water suction assembly, the second hydraulic rod is used to control and adjust the cable laying assembly, and the third hydraulic rod is used to control and adjust the suction rake head.

[0053] During the deep soil cutting and crushing process, a high-pressure jet method was adopted in conjunction with the reamer section and the surface trench excavation section. A row of cutter teeth 114 is connected to the chain, and the chain is driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor. The chain is driven by a high-speed, low-torque hydraulic motor and a reducer. The hydraulic power comes from the hydraulic power source of the trenching device. The hydraulic motor is small in size, has a high power-to-weight ratio, and is highly stable and reliable. It also has its own motor braking performance, so there is no need to add an additional motor brake.

[0054] The hydraulic power of this cutter jet trenching device is provided by a hydraulic power source on a movable frame. The high-pressure hydraulic oil in the hydraulic power source is transmitted through hydraulic oil pipelines, and the high-pressure oil is transmitted to the hydraulic actuator (hydraulic components, hydraulic motor, etc.) by opening and closing the oil valve. The high-pressure water jet method used in this invention is achieved by a high-pressure water pump and a high-pressure water storage device in the movable frame.

[0055] This multi-functional cutter jetting trenching equipment is suspended on the frame of an underwater trenching machine and moves with the trenching machine to achieve efficient cutting of hard soil on the seabed. It can cut and break hard clay within the range of 200 kPa.

[0056] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
