Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of submarine cable installation and maintenance, in particular to H02G9 / 00, and in particular to a wire installation device for a network switch. Background Art

[0002] In an era of deep global information integration, transoceanic data transmission is experiencing explosive growth. As a critical link connecting continents, the seabed bears the heavy responsibility of transporting massive amounts of data. Network switches, core equipment for data exchange and routing, are deployed on the seabed to enable efficient data exchange and distribution between submarine cables in different regions. They act as the "transportation hub" of the submarine communications network, ensuring accurate and rapid data flow between different lines, meeting the growing global demand for real-time communications, cloud computing, and big data transmission.

[0003] However, the seabed environment is extremely harsh. The highly corrosive nature of seawater poses a constant threat to the materials used in network switches and their wiring. Standard materials can corrode and damage quickly under the erosion of seawater, leading to data interruptions. Undercurrents surge, and their powerful impact not only displaces network switches but also pulls on connected wiring, causing wear and even breakage. Furthermore, the complex and varied geological conditions of the seabed, ranging from hard reefs to soft mud and sand, pose significant challenges to the installation and securing of network switches. If a network switch is not securely mounted and swayed by external forces such as undercurrents, it can easily loosen wiring connections, compromising data transmission quality.

[0004] As a key component for ensuring the stable operation of network switches, connectors for submarine cable fault detection equipment must possess excellent sealing and secure fixing capabilities. However, common wiring installation devices currently available on the market exhibit numerous flaws when dealing with such complex submarine environments. In terms of sealing, they struggle to effectively block seawater intrusion over the long term, leaving the network switch's wiring submerged in seawater for extended periods, accelerating corrosion and aging, and significantly shortening its service life. In terms of fixing, existing devices are vulnerable to adverse factors such as submarine undercurrents and complex geology, and are prone to displacement, severely interfering with the normal operation of the network switch and significantly increasing the difficulty of subsequent maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a wire installation device for a network switch to solve the problem that existing devices are difficult to resist adverse factors such as submarine undercurrents and complex geology and are prone to displacement.

[0006] In order to alleviate the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0007] A wire installation device for a network switch includes a sealing mechanism, wherein the sealing mechanism includes a first semi-cylinder and a second semi-cylinder, wherein the first semi-cylinder and the second semi-cylinder are buckled together to form a cylinder, and the wire to be installed is inserted into the middle of the cylinder;

An N-shaped limit frame is inserted into the arc-shaped sealing block, and the N-shaped limit frame abuts against the two arc-shaped airbags.

[0013] The drainage mechanism also includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe, a first spring is connected between the mounting bracket and the mounting ring, a push rod is connected to the mounting bracket and is coaxial with the round rod, and the diameter of the push rod is smaller than the round rod. After the gas is filled in the arc-shaped airbag from the air inlet pipe, the branch pipe and the inflation pipe, the air pressure pushes the mounting ring to slide toward the mounting bracket, so that the air inlet pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the first semi-cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the anchoring mechanism also includes two rectangular blocks connected to the ends of the two sliding rods, the oblique insertion rod is fixedly connected to the rectangular blocks, the two rectangular blocks are fixedly connected with brackets, the ends between the two are hinged with connecting rods, and the two ends of the two connecting rods are hinged to each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the branch pipe is connected to the cylindrical cavity, and the branch pipe is perpendicular to the inflation pipe. A control rod is slidably connected in the branch pipe, and the control rod slides vertically back and forth at the connection between the branch pipe and the inflation pipe;

[0016] When the pressure in the cylindrical cavity decreases, the control rod moves downward to connect the branch pipe with the inflation pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fixedly connected inside the branch pipe, and a second spring is connected between the limiting ring and the bottom end of the control rod.

[0018] Furthermore, a T-shaped hole is provided on the control rod, and after the control rod moves downward, the branch pipe is communicated with the inflation pipe through the T-shaped hole.

When the two sliding rods are away from each other, the oblique insertion rod can be inserted into the seabed.

[0024] The first semi-cylinder is placed on the upper part. After the first semi-cylinder and the second semi-cylinder are connected, gas is injected into the first semi-cylinder through the air inlet pipe, so that the seawater in the cylinder is squeezed and discharged by the gas. The air inlet pipe can provide gas through an air compressor or a pressure tank, and the seawater in the cylinder is discharged into the cylindrical cavity through a drain pipe. The pressure in the cylindrical cavity increases, so that the sliding rod is pushed and moves away from the fixed seat. When the air is discharged into the cylinder, the cylinder is pressed synchronously so that the oblique rod can be inserted into the seabed. The inclination of the oblique rod is toward the outward sliding direction of the sliding rod, so that the partial movement of the oblique rod can point to the seabed of the seabed, which is convenient for the insertion of the oblique rod.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] Examples, such as Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, a network switch wire installation device includes a sealing mechanism 100, which includes a first semi-cylinder 110 and a second semi-cylinder 120. The first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 are buckled together to form a cylinder, and the wires to be installed are inserted into the middle of the cylinder; the bottom of the second semi-cylinder 120 is connected to an anchoring mechanism 200 for fixing the cylinder to the seabed; the first semi-cylinder 110 and the anchoring mechanism 200 are connected to a drainage mechanism 300, and the drainage mechanism 300 includes a drain connected to the bottom of the cylinder. The air inlet pipe 310 of the first semi-cylinder 110 is connected to an external air supply device. The anchoring mechanism 200 includes a drainage pipe 220 connected to the second semi-cylinder 120 and a fixed seat 210. A cylindrical cavity 211 connected to the drainage pipe 220 is provided in the fixed seat 210. Two sliding rods 230 are symmetrically slidably connected in the cylindrical cavity 211. The ends of the two sliding rods 230 that are away from each other are connected to an oblique rod 250. When the two sliding rods 230 are away from each other, the oblique rod 250 can be inserted into the seabed.

[0039] This embodiment provides the working mechanism of the wire installation device of the network switch:

[0040] During use, the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 are buckled onto the portion of the cable that needs to be connected or repaired. The two can be connected by a clamp or bolts to ensure stability, so that the connection point of the cable is located inside the cylinder formed by the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120. Gloves (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the first semi-cylinder 110 or the second semi-cylinder 120 to facilitate operation by maintenance personnel;

[0041] The first semi-cylinder 110 is placed on the upper part. After the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 are connected, gas is injected into the first semi-cylinder 110 through the air inlet pipe 310, so that the seawater in the cylinder is squeezed and discharged. The air inlet pipe 310 can provide gas through an air compressor or a pressure tank, and the seawater in the cylinder is discharged into the cylindrical cavity 211 through the drain pipe 220. The pressure in the cylindrical cavity 211 increases, so that the sliding rod 230 is pushed and moves in the direction away from the fixing seat 210. When the air is discharged into the cylinder, the cylinder is pressed simultaneously so that the oblique insertion rod 250 can be inserted into the seabed. The inclination of the oblique insertion rod 250 is toward the outward sliding direction of the sliding rod 230, so that the partial movement of the oblique insertion rod 250 can point to the seabed of the seabed, which is convenient for the insertion of the oblique insertion rod 250. After the oblique insertion rod 250 is inserted into the seabed, the cylinder is fixed for the second time to ensure that the cylinder will not be affected by factors such as submarine undercurrents during the subsequent maintenance of the wires, thereby ensuring the installation and maintenance effect of the submarine cable.

[0042] Regarding the structure of the sealing mechanism 100, specifically:

[0043] The sealing mechanism 100 also includes four arc-shaped sealing blocks 130 connected to the two ends of the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120. The two arc-shaped sealing blocks 130 on the same side are buckled together to form a ring; the inner wall of the arc-shaped sealing block 130 is connected to the arc-shaped support block 150, and the arc-shaped airbags 160 are fixedly connected on both sides of the arc-shaped support block 150. An N-shaped limit frame 140 is inserted into the arc-shaped sealing block 130, and the N-shaped limit frame 140 abuts against the two arc-shaped airbags 160. The arc-shaped airbag 160 is connected to an inflation tube 372, and the inflation tube 372 is connected to the air intake pipe 310 through the branch pipe 320.

[0044] After the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 are connected, the four arc-shaped sealing blocks 130 on both sides thereof are buckled in pairs to form two circular rings, and the two corresponding arc-shaped support blocks 150 also contact each other to form support rings. Two groups of arc-shaped airbags 160 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped support blocks 150. The arc-shaped support blocks 150 are inserted into the arc-shaped sealing blocks 130, so that the arc-shaped airbags 160 are clamped in the middle of the arc-shaped support blocks 150. When gas is filled into the air inlet pipe 310, the gas is diverted to the inflation pipe 372, so that the arc-shaped airbags 160 are inflated, and the arc-shaped airbags 160 are close to and fit into the cable under the extrusion and guidance of the N-shaped limit frame 140 and the arc-shaped support block 150, so that the inner cavity of the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 is sealed.

[0045] Regarding the structure of the drainage mechanism 300, specifically:

[0046] The drainage mechanism 300 also includes a mounting ring 360 that slides in the air inlet pipe 310, and the middle part of the mounting ring 360 is slidably connected to a round rod 362, and the end of the round rod 362 is connected to a conical block 361. A groove that cooperates with the conical block 361 is opened on the mounting ring 360, and the mounting ring 360 is magnetically attracted to the conical block 361; the drainage mechanism 300 also includes a mounting frame 330 fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 310, a first spring 350 is connected between the mounting frame 330 and the mounting ring 360, and a push rod 340 coaxially arranged with the round rod 362 is connected to the mounting frame 330, and the diameter of the push rod 340 is smaller than the round rod 362. After the gas fills the arc-shaped airbag 160 from the air inlet pipe 310, the branch pipe 320 and the inflation pipe 372, the air pressure pushes the mounting ring 360 to slide toward the mounting frame 330, so that the air inlet pipe 310 is connected to the inner cavity of the first semi-cylinder 110.

[0047] The first spring 350 applies a thrust to the mounting ring 360 in the initial state, causing the push rod 340 to move away from the round rod 362, so that the round rod 362 is not pushed. At this time, the mounting ring 360 is magnetically attracted to the conical block 361, and the gas will not enter the inner cavity of the cylinder through the air inlet pipe 310. At this time, the gas first enters the arc-shaped airbag 160 through the air inlet pipe 310, the branch pipe 320 and the inflation pipe 372, causing the arc-shaped airbag 160 to expand. After the arc-shaped airbag 160 expands to completely fit the wire to be installed, the air pressure gradually increases, and the increase in air pressure can push the mounting ring 360 to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 350 and move closer to the push rod 340. At this time, the push rod 340 pushes the round rod 362, causing the conical block 361 to break away from the contact with the mounting ring 360, so that the gas can flow to the inner cavity of the cylinder through the air inlet pipe 310, so that the seawater in the cylinder is discharged, ensuring that the cylinder only performs the drainage operation when it is airtight.

[0048] Regarding the structure of the anchoring mechanism 200, specifically:

[0049] The anchoring mechanism 200 also includes two rectangular blocks 240 connected to the ends of the two sliding rods 230, the oblique rod 250 is fixedly connected to the rectangular blocks 240, and the two rectangular blocks 240 are fixedly connected to a bracket 260. The ends between the two are hinged with a connecting rod 270, and the two ends of the two connecting rods 270 are hinged to each other.

[0050] When the two rectangular blocks 240 move away from each other, the two rectangular blocks 240 pull the connecting rod 270 to swing through the bracket 260. Since the ends of the connecting rod 270 are hinged to each other, and the distance between the hinged parts of the bracket 260 and the connecting rod 270 and the corresponding rectangular blocks 240 is greater than the distance between the hinged parts of the two connecting rods 270 and the corresponding rectangular blocks 240, the hinged parts of the two connecting rods 270 can move downward and close to the seabed, so that the connecting rod 270 can be inserted into the seabed, further improving the installation firmness of the device.

[0051] Among the optional methods of this embodiment, the more preferred ones are:

[0052] The end of the branch pipe 320 is connected to the cylindrical cavity 211, and the branch pipe 320 is perpendicular to the inflation tube 372. A control rod 370 is slidably connected inside the branch pipe 320, and the control rod 370 slides vertically back and forth at the connection between the branch pipe 320 and the inflation tube 372; when the pressure in the cylindrical cavity 211 decreases, the control rod 370 moves downward to connect the branch pipe 320 with the inflation tube 372.

[0053] When the air inlet pipe 310 injects air into the cylinder, the seawater in the cylinder enters the cylindrical cavity 211 through the drain pipe 220. Since the branch pipe 320 is connected to the cylindrical cavity 211, the pressure of the seawater discharged can be transmitted to the branch pipe 320. When the air tightness of the cylinder is good, the pressure can push the control rod 370 to move upward. At this time, the branch pipe 320 is not connected to the inflation tube 372, maintaining the drainage state of the cylinder. When the contact part between the cylinder and the wire leaks, the pressure in the cylindrical cavity 211 will decrease, so that the control rod 370 moves downward, so that the branch pipe 320 is connected to the inflation tube 372, so that the gas can enter the arc-shaped airbag 160, so that the arc-shaped airbag 160 can continue to expand and block the gap between the cylinder and the wire.

[0054] Among the optional methods of this embodiment, the more preferred ones are:

[0055] A limit ring 380 is fixedly connected inside the branch pipe 320 , and a second spring 390 is connected between the limit ring 380 and the bottom end of the control rod 370 .

[0056] The second spring 390 provides a pulling force for the control rod 370, so that the lower limit position of the movement of the control rod 370 is fixed, that is, when the control rod 370 is at the lowest part of the stroke, the branch pipe 320 is connected with the inflation tube 372. When the pressure transmitted by the cylindrical cavity 211 is sufficient, it can overcome the pulling force of the second spring 390 and make the control rod 370 move upward. After the cylinder leaks, the second spring 390 can pull the control rod 370 downward, so that the branch pipe 320 can be connected with the inflation tube 372.

[0057] Among the optional methods of this embodiment, the more preferred ones are:

[0058] A T-shaped hole 371 is formed on the control rod 370 . When the control rod 370 moves downward, the branch pipe 320 is connected to the inflation pipe 372 through the T-shaped hole 371 .

[0059] By setting the T-shaped hole 371, the moving stroke of the control rod 370 can be shortened, so that the branch pipe 320 and the inflation pipe 372 can be controlled to be on and off by moving the control rod 370 to the diameter of the T-shaped hole 371, so that the arc-shaped airbag 160 can be inflated in time after the cylinder leaks.

[0060] Regarding the structure of the protection mechanism 400, specifically:

[0061] The protective mechanism 400 includes two arc-shaped cylinders 410 installed at both ends of the second semi-cylinder 120, a fixing frame 450 is connected between the two arc-shaped cylinders 410, an arc-shaped rod 420 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped cylinder 410, two cylinders 212 connected to the cylindrical cavity 211 are symmetrically connected to the fixed seat 210, the sliding rod 230 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 212, and a transmission tube 411 is connected between the cylinder 212 and the arc-shaped cylinder 410.

[0062] The arc cylinder 410 and the arc rod 420 are clearance-fitted, leaving a tiny gap between the two. The seawater in the cylinder enters the cylindrical cavity 211 through the drainage pipe 220, so that the sliding rod 230 is pushed outward. After the sliding rod 230 moves outward to the maximum stroke, the cylinder body 212 can be connected to the arc cylinder 410 through the transmission pipe 411. At this time, the seawater enters the arc cylinder 410 and pushes the arc rod 420 to slide out.

[0063] Among the optional methods of this embodiment, the more preferred ones are:

[0064] The arc tube 410 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 430 , a locking pin 431 is plugged into the mounting plate 430 , a tension spring 432 is connected between the pin cap of the locking pin 431 and the mounting plate 430 , and a socket for matching with the locking pin 431 is opened on the arc rod 420 .

[0065] After the arc rod 420 slides out, it can form a ring with the arc tube 410, and after the arc rod 420 is extended, it can push the locking pin 431 to slide to overcome the tension of the tension spring 432. Then the arc rod 420 continues to move, and after the socket on the arc rod 420 moves to the locking pin 431, the locking pin 431 is inserted into the socket to fix the arc rod 420.

[0066] Among the optional methods of this embodiment, the more preferred ones are:

[0067] A threaded rod 440 is threadedly connected to the arc-shaped rod 420 , and the axis of the threaded rod 440 faces the electric wire.

[0068] After the curved rod 420 is fixed to the curved cylinder 410, the threaded rod 440 is tightened so that the end of the threaded rod 440 abuts the wire, thereby ensuring that the curved rod 420 and the wire are fixed in position. The two curved cylinders 410 are fixedly connected by the fixing bracket 450, so that the wire portion between the two curved cylinders 410 is straight and does not bend. This ensures that the connected wire connection does not swing with the flow of seawater, ensuring the firmness of the connection.

[0069] The arc cylinder 410 is installed at the end of the second semi-cylinder 120 through the clamping block 460. The clamping block 460 and the second semi-cylinder 120 can be connected by bolts. After the wiring is completed, the clamping block 460 is removed, and then the first semi-cylinder 110 and the second semi-cylinder 120 are removed. At this time, the connection and installation of the wires are completed.

[0070] 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 above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
