Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of marine engineering submarine cable laying, recovery and maintenance, in particular to a double-drum submarine cable laying and recovery winch with adjustable speed and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid expansion of offshore platforms and offshore wind power projects, the issue of laying and recycling submarine cables has become increasingly prominent. Submarine cables (submarine cables), as a key component of power or signal transmission, are coated with insulating materials and laid on the seabed. They are mainly divided into submarine power cables and submarine communication cables.
[0003] At present, the differences in diameter and laying and recovery speed of submarine cables of different specifications have resulted in the submarine cable laying vessel being able to handle only one specification of submarine cable, thus limiting work efficiency. The existing submarine cable laying process mainly adjusts the laying tension and water entry angle by regulating the sailing speed of the laying vessel and the release speed of the submarine cable to avoid errors and damage caused by too small a bending radius or too large a tension.
[0004] Submarine cables are often laid directly on the seabed and are susceptible to seawater erosion and damage, which places high demands on their maintenance. In shallow water areas, divers and special diving equipment are usually used for underwater maintenance, while in deep water areas, due to the harsh sea conditions, the difficulty and cost of underwater maintenance are significantly increased. The current maintenance method mainly uses amphibious trenching equipment to clean the seabed mud, dig out the damaged section of the submarine cable, and then divers perform underwater inspections and lock it with slings. The damaged section of the submarine cable is then lifted to the construction ship by a crane and fixed on the deck for repair. However, using a crane to lift the damaged section of the submarine cable to the construction ship and fix it on the deck poses the risk of damage to the normal section of the submarine cable, and increases the complexity of handling on the construction ship. How to store the normal section of the submarine cable on the ship has become a problem. Summary of the invention

[0040] The clamping system 4 includes an elastic clamp 41 and an electromagnet box 42 .
[0041] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, there are two elastic chucks 41, which are connected to the side wall of the upper drum 21 and the side wall of the lower drum 22 through support columns 43. The support columns 43 are made of aluminum alloy, which has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, and conductivity, and are suitable for light load and high frequency operations.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the outer frame 5 includes eight baffles 51, and four baffles 51 are evenly and vertically arranged on the support frame 12 and the working deck 11 along the circumference. The baffles 51 are made of galvanized steel, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, durability, and easy installation. The galvanized layer can effectively prevent the steel plate from rusting and extend the service life. The baffles 51 are set to limit the area occupied by the submarine cable. When the length of the submarine cable is too long, the baffles 51 can limit the submarine cable from being wound around the upper drum 21 and the lower drum 22 in the height direction, preventing the submarine cable from occupying too much area on the working deck 11 or falling out of the support frame 12.
[0044] The installation steps of this double-drum adjustable speed submarine cable laying and recovery winch are as follows: The first step is to install the lower drum 22 and the lower motor 32: a circular hole 13 with a diameter of 10-20 cm is opened on the working deck 11, and then a concentric circular groove 14 is opened outward with reference to the circular hole 13. The groove depth is about 0.5 cm, and the diameter of the circular groove 14 expands inward and outward by 0.1-0.2 cm according to the diameter of the lower drum 22. Rollers 15 and cylindrical rollers 16 are evenly laid in the circular groove 14 along the circumference.
[0045] Near the circular hole 13 below the working deck 11, four motor support legs 33 are connected to the bottom of the working deck 11 according to the length of the output shaft of the lower motor 32, so as to install the lower motor 32, and the keyway of the second bevel gear 321 is matched with the key of the output shaft of the lower motor 32, and the keyway of the first bevel gear 221 is matched with the key of the rotating shaft of the lower rotating drum 22, and the lower rotating drum 22 is placed on the circular groove 14 so that the bottom of the lower rotating drum 22 is tangent to the cylindrical roller 16, and the second bevel gear 321 on the output shaft of the lower motor 32 is matched with the first bevel gear 221 on the rotating shaft of the lower rotating drum 22.
[0046] The second step is to install the support frame 12: a circular hole 13 is opened in the support frame 12, and a concentric circular groove 14 is opened outwardly, so that the upper and lower circular holes 13 are concentrically aligned, and the four support legs 121 of the support frame 12 are fixed on the working deck 11 by bolts, and rollers 15 and cylindrical rollers 16 are evenly laid in a circle inside the circular groove 14.
[0047] The third step is to install the upper drum 21 and the upper motor 31: near the circular hole 13 below the support frame 12, connect the four motor support legs 33 to the bottom of the support frame 12 according to the length of the output shaft of the upper motor 31, thereby installing the upper motor 31, match the keyway of the fourth bevel gear 311 with the key of the output shaft of the upper motor 31, match the keyway of the third bevel gear 211 with the key of the rotating shaft of the upper drum 21, place the upper drum 21 on the circular groove 14 so that the bottom of the upper drum 21 is tangent to the cylindrical roller 16, and match the fourth bevel gear 311 on the output shaft of the upper motor 31 with the third bevel gear 211 on the rotating shaft of the upper drum 21.
[0048] The fourth step is to install the clamping system 4: the clamping system 4 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the upper drum 21 and the bottom of the side wall of the lower drum 22, and the clamping system 4 clamps the submarine cable.
[0049] Step 5, install the baffles 51: install four baffles 51 evenly on the working deck 11 according to the circumference, and fix the bottom of each baffle 51 to the working deck 11 by screws. The diameter of the area enclosed by the four baffles 51 is determined by the work task, but the maximum diameter shall not exceed the side length of the rectangle enclosed by the four support legs 121 of the support frame 12. Then install another four baffles 51 evenly on the support frame 12 according to the circumference, and the installation is now complete.
[0050] The method of using a double-drum adjustable speed submarine cable laying and recovery winch is as follows: The first step is to hoist the submarine cable to the vicinity of the elastic clamp 41: when two specifications of submarine cables need to be laid or recovered, one of the submarine cables hoisted by the crane on the laying ship is vertically lowered to the position of the elastic clamp 41 of the upper drum 21, and the other is lowered to the position of the elastic clamp 41 of the lower drum 22 through the gap of the outermost plate reinforcement 122 on the support frame 12. The staff reaches the vicinity of the elastic clamp 41 through the opening of the baffle 51.
[0051] The second step is to clamp the submarine cable: first turn off the top switch 423 of the electromagnet box 42, the staff inserts the head of the submarine cable into the elastic clamp 41, and then turns on the top switch 423 of the electromagnet box 42, and the elastic clamp 41 tightens the submarine cable.
[0052] Step 3: Recovering and laying submarine cables: The staff exits the baffle 51 and sets the speeds of the upper and lower DC motors according to the specifications of the submarine cables. When the submarine cable needs to be recovered, the DC motor is reversed. When the normal section is collected, the DC motor is stopped to prepare for the subsequent submarine cable inspection and maintenance. When the submarine cable needs to be laid, the DC motor is rotated forward. When the submarine cable is laid, the DC motor is stopped.
[0053] Therefore, the present invention is easy to install, the rotation speed can be accurately adjusted and controlled, the size of the elastic chuck 41 can be controlled, and it can adapt to various specifications of submarine cables, and can simultaneously perform construction operations on two submarine cables, greatly improving work efficiency. The present invention has a wide field of view, and during the operation of the winch, the staff can observe the status of the submarine cable in real time. Not only can the submarine cable be laid, but it can also be recovered and fixed, effectively solving the problem of laying, recovering and repairing deep-sea submarine cables.
