Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0020] In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to completely bury the submarine pipeline or reach the expected ideal soil cover thickness during the backfilling process of the submarine trench due to the influence of the natural submarine water flow movement, and it is impossible to ensure that there is a certain soil cover thickness above the pipeline, the present invention discloses a system that can promote inward scouring and backfilling on both sides of the submarine trench, including a submarine trench, a sand-gathering scouring mechanism and a sand-guiding backfilling mechanism.

The sand-guiding backfilling mechanism includes a right baffle backfilling column and a left baffle backfilling column, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the submarine pipeline in the submarine trench, wherein the sand-gathering scouring mechanism can increase the flow rate of seawater flowing from the outside of the trench, promote the starting of the soil inside the trench, and prevent the sand inside the trench from flowing out; the sand-guiding backfilling mechanism can limit the quicksand to only enter the area between the left and right flexible sand-guiding vertical plates and cover the top of the submarine pipeline, but cannot flow out. The system disclosed in the present invention can promote inward scouring and backfilling on both sides of the submarine trench, which can not only completely bury the submarine pipeline and ensure that there is a certain thickness of soil cover above the pipeline, but also effectively accelerate the backfilling speed of the submarine pipeline, improve the backfilling efficiency, and greatly improve the economy of submarine trench backfilling, which is extremely important for the development of submarine trench backfilling.

[0021] Example 1: A system that can promote inward scouring and backfilling of both sides of a submarine trench Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a system that can promote inward scouring and backfilling on both sides of a submarine trench, and its structure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The system capable of promoting inward scouring and backfilling on both sides of a submarine trench comprises a submarine trench 100, a sand collecting and scouring mechanism and a sand guiding and backfilling mechanism.

[0023] The submarine trench 100 is formed by a depression in the seabed, with raised seabeds on both sides of the submarine trench 100. A submarine pipeline 200 is installed in the submarine trench 100.

[0024] The sand collecting and flushing mechanism comprises a right baffle flushing column and a left baffle flushing column, wherein the right baffle flushing column and the left baffle flushing column are respectively arranged on the seabed on both sides of the submarine trench 100, wherein the right baffle flushing column is formed by a plurality of right baffle flushing assemblies 11 arranged in a row along the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, and is used to block and collect sand on the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, and the right baffle flushing assembly 11 comprises a baffle 100, and at least one right sand flow collecting device is arranged on the baffle 100, and the right sand flow collecting device is used to collect sand on the right side of the submarine trench 100. The left baffle scouring column is formed by a plurality of left baffle scouring assemblies 12 arranged in a row along the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100, and is used to block and collect the sand on the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100. The left baffle scouring assembly 12 includes a baffle 100, and at least one left sand flow collecting device is arranged on the baffle 100. The left sand flow collecting device is used to make the sand on the left seabed flow to form quicksand and flush it into the submarine trench 100. The sand-guiding backfilling mechanism includes a right backfilling column and a left backfilling column, both of which are located in the submarine trench 100 and are respectively arranged on both sides of the submarine pipeline 200 along the length direction of the submarine pipeline 200, wherein the right backfilling column is composed of a plurality of right flexible sand-guiding upright plates 21 arranged in a row along the right side of the submarine pipeline 200, and is used to receive the quicksand flowing down from the right seabed, and to cover the quicksand on the right seabed on the submarine pipeline 200; the left backfilling column is composed of a plurality of left flexible sand-guiding upright plates 22 arranged in a row along the left side of the submarine pipeline 200, and is used to receive the quicksand flowing down from the left seabed, and to cover the quicksand on the left seabed on the submarine pipeline 200.

[0025] Preferably, the right-blocking scouring column and the left-blocking scouring column are symmetrically distributed along the longitudinal center line of the submarine trench 100 ; the right-blocking backfill column and the left-blocking backfill column are symmetrically distributed along the longitudinal center line of the submarine trench 100 .

[0026] Since the sediment deposition speed in the submarine trench 100 is too slow, the burial cannot be completed at the optimal time sometimes. The right sand flow collection device or the left sand flow collection device formed by welding the square funnel 102 and the guide pipe 101 can effectively stimulate the sediment on both sides of the submarine trench to start, so that the sediment is suspended, so as to move and return to sedimentation under the action of water flow.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The lower part of the baffle 100 is vertically inserted into the seabed of the submarine trench 100, wherein the lower part of the baffle 100 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 is buried in the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, and the lower part of the baffle 100 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12 is buried in the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100.

[0028] As a specific implementation method, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each right sand flow collection device and each left sand flow collection device comprises a guide pipe 101 and a square funnel 102, the guide pipe 101 is slidably arranged on the baffle 100, and the outer end of the guide pipe 101 is connected to the square funnel 102; The opening of the square funnel 102 faces outward, wherein the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 faces rightward, and is used to receive sand collected on the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, and the square funnel 102 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12 faces leftward, and is used to receive sand collected on the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100; The baffles 100 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 and the left baffle scouring assembly 12 are used to block the sand on the right and left seabeds of the submarine trench 100, respectively. The sand is blocked more and more and gradually gathered. When the sand bodies on the right side gather on the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, once these sand bodies are higher than the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11, the sand bodies higher than the opening of the square funnel 102 will enter the guide pipe 101 through the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11, and flow out of the guide pipe 101 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100; Similarly, when the sand on the left side gathers on the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100, once the sand is higher than the square funnel 102 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12, the sand higher than the opening of the square funnel 102 will enter the guide pipe 101 through the square funnel 102 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12, and flow out of the guide pipe 101 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12 to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100.

[0029] Since the sand body that is higher than the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 or the square funnel 102 that is higher than the left baffle scouring assembly 12 flows into the square funnel 102 and flows into the submarine trench 100 through the guide pipe 101, the height of the sand body around the square funnel 102 is getting lower and lower. In order to lower the height of the right sand flow collection device and the left sand flow collection device, the guide pipe 101 slides on the baffle 100. As the height of the square funnel 102 decreases, the guide pipe 101 connected to the square funnel 102 can slide from top to bottom on the baffle 100, thereby driving the corresponding square funnel 102 to move downward, so as to ensure that the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 or the left baffle scouring assembly 12 is lower than the sand body collected around it.

[0030] As a specific implementation method for realizing that the guide pipe 101 is slidably arranged on the baffle 100, each right sand flow collection device and each left sand flow collection device are equipped with a sliding mechanism 13, each sliding mechanism includes a slideway 131, a pulley 132 and a connecting member 133, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0031] A slide 131 is provided at the middle and upper part of the baffle 100, and a pulley 132 is configured in the slide 131. The guide pipes 101 of the right baffle flushing assembly 11 and the left baffle flushing assembly 12 are respectively connected to the pulleys 132 of the corresponding sliding mechanism 13 through corresponding connecting pieces 133, thereby realizing that the guide pipe 101 is slidably set on the baffle 100, and the guide pipe 101 can slide from top to bottom along the slide 131 of the baffle 100.

[0032] Preferably, at least two slideways 131 are provided in the middle and upper part of the baffle 100, and each slideway 131 is provided with a pulley 132. Figure 5 shown.

[0033] As the guide tube 101 slides on the baffle 100, the gap between the top edge of the slide 131 and the pulley 132 becomes larger and larger. In order to prevent sand from passing through this gap, a permeable gauze 15 is arranged between the top edge of each slide 131 and each pulley 132, and the top side and the bottom side of the permeable gauze 15 are attached by Velcro.

[0034] When the guide tube 101 slides on the baffle 100, the pulley 132 drives the water-permeable gauze 15 to unfold, so that a water-permeable and sand-impermeable net is formed in the middle and upper part of the slideway 131. Figure 5 shown.

[0035] Specifically, male Velcro is provided on both sides of the upper side of the water-permeable gauze 15, and female Velcro is provided on both sides of the top edge of the slide 131. The top of the water-permeable gauze 15 is adhered to the top edge of the slide 131 by Velcro.

[0036] In order to prevent the sand around the inner end of the guide pipe 101 from entering the guide pipe 101 and causing backflow, the inner end of the guide pipe 101 is provided with a one-way valve 14, and the one-way valve 14 can only allow the sand in the guide pipe 101 to flow out from the inner end of the guide pipe 101, but prohibit the sand around the inner end of the guide pipe 101 from entering the guide pipe 101.

[0037] As a specific implementation method, refer to Figure 6 The one-way valve 14 includes a hinge 141 and a movable door plate 142 , and the movable door plate 142 is arranged at the inner end port of the corresponding guide tube 101 through the hinge 141 .

[0038] When the sand in the guide tube 101 flows out through the inner end of the guide tube 101, the quicksand impacts the movable door plate 142 outward, the movable door plate 142 expands outward, and the one-way valve 14 is in a conducting state; when the sand around the outer side of the inner end port of the guide tube 101 enters the guide tube 101, the quicksand impacts the movable door plate 142 inward, the movable door plate 142 retracts inward, and the one-way valve 14 is in a closed state.

[0039] As a specific implementation method for receiving the quicksand flowing down from the seabed on one side and making the quicksand on the seabed on the side cover the submarine pipeline 200, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The right flexible sand guide plate 21 and the left flexible sand guide plate 22 both include a top baffle 201, a flexible sand guide plate 23 and a bottom baffle 202. The top baffle 201 and the bottom baffle 202 are both flexible baffles, which are respectively arranged at the top and bottom ends of the flexible sand guide plate 23.

[0040] Among them, reference Fig.10 The flexible sand guide plate 23 has several layers of movable sheet rows closely arranged from top to bottom, and each layer of movable sheet rows is closely arranged with several movable sheet units 24, each movable sheet unit 24 includes a movable sheet 240, and the movable sheet 240 can be opened to the side close to the submarine pipeline 200.

[0041] The bottom end of the movable sheet 240 of the upper movable sheet unit 24 is placed on the top of the corresponding lower movable sheet unit 24 , and the bottom end of the movable sheet 240 of the upper movable sheet unit 24 is located on the side of the lower movable sheet unit 24 close to the submarine pipeline 200 .

[0042] When one of the right flexible sand-guiding uprights 21 of the right backfill column receives the quicksand flowing down from the right seabed, or when one of the left flexible sand-guiding uprights 22 of the left backfill column receives the quicksand flowing down from the left seabed, the quicksand is loaded on the movable sheet 240 of the corresponding movable sheet unit 24, and at the same time the movable sheet is forced to open toward the side close to the submarine pipeline 200, and the quicksand slides down along the movable sheet until it covers the submarine pipeline 200.

[0044] A plurality of tube units 241 of movable sheet units 24 are passed through each steel wire 232 and adjacent movable sheet units 24 are closely arranged to form a layer of movable sheet rows; the spacing between adjacent steel wires 232 just accommodates a row of movable sheet units 24, thereby forming the flexible sand guide plate 23 with several layers of movable sheet rows closely arranged from top to bottom.

[0045] Specifically, the rubber frame 231 is in a rectangular shape.

[0046] In order to improve the efficiency of quicksand passing through the flexible sand guide plate 23 , preferably, the movable sheet 240 is a rectangular sheet, and the movable sheet 240 is densely covered with quicksand holes.

[0047] In order to ensure the bearing capacity of the right flexible sand guide plate 21 and the left flexible sand guide plate 22, the bottom of the bottom baffle 202 of the right flexible sand guide plate 21 and the left flexible sand guide plate 22 are both provided with load-bearing steel plates 203, and the bottom surface of the load-bearing steel plates 203 is provided with fixing piles 204.

[0049] Example 2: A method for promoting inward scouring and backfilling of both sides of a submarine trench Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for promoting inward scouring and backfilling of both sides of a submarine trench, using the system for promoting inward scouring and backfilling of both sides of a submarine trench of embodiment 1, the method comprises the following steps: Sand collection and scouring: the right-blocking scouring column blocks and collects the sand on the right side of the submarine trench 100, and the right sand flow collecting device causes the sand on the right side of the seabed to flow to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100; at the same time, the left-blocking scouring column blocks and collects the sand on the left side of the submarine trench 100, and the left sand flow collecting device causes the sand on the left side of the seabed to flow to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100; Sand-guiding backfilling: the right backfilling column receives the quicksand flowing down from the right seabed, and makes the quicksand on the right seabed cover the submarine pipeline 200; at the same time, the left backfilling column receives the quicksand flowing down from the left seabed, and makes the quicksand on the left seabed cover the submarine pipeline 200.

[0050] In the process that the baffles 100 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 and the left baffle scouring assembly 12 respectively block the sand bodies on the right and left seabeds of the submarine trench 100, more and more sand bodies are blocked and gradually gathered; when the sand bodies on the right side are gathered on the seabed on the right side of the submarine trench 100, once these sand bodies are higher than the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11, the sand bodies higher than the opening of the square funnel 102 will pass through the square funnel 102 of the right baffle scouring assembly 11 into the guide pipe 101, and from the right The guide pipe 101 of the baffle scouring assembly 11 flows out to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100; similarly, when the sand on the left side gathers on the seabed on the left side of the submarine trench 100, once these sand bodies are higher than the square funnel 102 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12, the sand bodies higher than the opening of the square funnel 102 will enter the guide pipe 101 through the square funnel 102 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12, and flow out from the guide pipe 101 of the left baffle scouring assembly 12 to form quicksand, which is washed into the submarine trench 100.

[0051] As the height of the square funnel 102 decreases, the guide pipe 101 connected to the square funnel 102 can slide from top to bottom on the baffle 100, thereby driving the corresponding square funnel 102 to move downward to ensure that the square funnel 102 of the right baffle flushing assembly 11 or the left baffle flushing assembly 12 is lower than the sand collected around it.

[0052] When the guide tube 101 slides on the baffle 100 , the pulley 132 drives the water-permeable gauze 15 to unfold, so that a water-permeable and sand-impermeable net is formed in the middle and upper part of the baffle 100 .

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
