Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a composite anchor system for fixed-depth mooring of an underwater platform, belonging to the technical field of underwater equipment. Background Art
[0002] The deep-deep fixed-depth mooring technology is a technology that realizes the relative motion control of the positive buoyancy platform and the negative buoyancy anchor through cable tension control, thereby realizing the fixed-depth mooring of the underwater platform. It is widely used in fields such as marine exploration. A typical fixed-depth mooring system generally consists of three parts: a platform, a depth-fixing device (including cables), and an anchor. Among them, the anchor is the core component for achieving accurate depth determination and reliable anchoring. On the one hand, it must have sufficient bearing capacity to overcome the upward pull and horizontal forces to ensure that the platform is reliably moored for a long time; on the other hand, it must have good fluid dynamic characteristics, maintain good stability of the descent posture in the water while meeting the requirements of the resistance coefficient, reduce the sudden changes in cable tension during the depth determination process, and ensure that the platform is stable and accurate in depth determination.
[0003] At present, the anchor systems used for underwater platforms, submerged buoys, buoys and other depth-fixed moorings only achieve the requirements of horizontal and vertical bearing capacity through technical means such as stringing anchors, penetration, and suction, but they generally have problems such as complex structure, difficult assembly, and high cost. At the same time, the requirements for the hydrodynamic characteristics of the anchor system during the depth-fixed mooring process are ignored, and the stability of the anchor system's descent posture in the water cannot be guaranteed. There is no special design for the descent speed in the water, which makes it difficult to control the cable tension during the depth-fixed mooring process. Summary of the invention

[0056] The annular adapter plate 3 is a circular ring structure, and its main material is carbon structural steel; the inner diameter of the ring is 1.25 times the diameter of the dividing circle of the three threaded holes evenly distributed on the upper end surface of the bowl-shaped counterweight structure 5, and the outer diameter of the ring is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylindrical counterweight structure 4, and is set as a clearance fit; countersunk holes are evenly distributed on the upper end surface of the ring for connecting the buoyancy structure 2; threaded holes are evenly distributed on the side of the ring for connecting the cylindrical counterweight structure 4.

By increasing the distance between the center of mass and the center of buoyancy, the stability of its descent posture in the water can be effectively improved, and the sudden change of cable tension during the depth-fixed process can be reduced, thereby ensuring that the platform's depth is fixed stably and accurately.
[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, when the duplex anchor system touches the bottom during the depth setting process, the transparent fragile cover 6 breaks by itself under the impact of touching the bottom or a certain water pressure; the unlocking release component 7 is passively unlocked to release the gripping anchor component 8; under the action of flow load, the gripping anchor 801 drives the shackle 802 and the steel chain 803 to disengage, and the gripping anchor 801 is anchored to the bottom of the water through the anchor claw, and grips tighter and tighter under the action of horizontal force, thereby being able to provide sufficient horizontal gripping force; at the same time, the duplex anchor can overcome the upward pulling force by relying on its own weight, and the contact friction between the duplex anchor and the bottom of the water can also overcome a certain degree of horizontal force; the two comprehensively realize the requirements of horizontal bearing capacity and vertical bearing capacity.
