AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The prior art is difficult to effectively lay submarine optical cables in deep-sea areas, and the laying process is complex and is easily affected by potential dangers such as anchoring and fishing activities.

Method used

An underwater cable-laying robot is designed, including a frame, a traveling mechanism, a cable-laying mechanism and a drive mechanism. The traveling mechanism realizes movement and subsea walking in the sea through the swimming mechanism and the walking mechanism. The cable layout mechanism realizes the ejection of cable trench on the seabed, detects the cable position and presses the cable into the trench through the trench assembly, detection of the cable position and presses the cable into the trench. The drive mechanism uses hydraulic systems and electric systems to provide power.

Benefits of technology

The purpose of directly laying cables in the deep sea is achieved, the process of laying submarine optical cables is simplified, the dependence on ships and equipment is reduced, and the safety and efficiency of laying are improved.
