[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to improve the stability of the two lower cylinders 122, the submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100 and the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include: The connecting rod 170 is connected between the lower ends of the two lower cylinders 122. The connecting rod 170 ensures the structural stability of the lower end of the lower cylinder 122, so that the inward or outward deviation of the lower end is prevented.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In order to limit the steel wire rope 300 and prevent it from causing traction instability of the burying plow 200 after being separated from the submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100, the submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100 and the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include: The limit rope rod 180 is U-shaped and connected to the connecting rod 170, and a limit rope space is formed between the limit rope rod 180 and the connecting rod 170. At this time, the steel wire rope 300 wound on the cross beam 110 can be arranged in and limited in the limit rope space formed between the limit rope rod 180 and the connecting rod 170.
[0035] The submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100 and method provided by the embodiment of the present application is an improvement on the launching and recovering method of the burying plow 200. The submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100 is rigidly connected to the burying plow 200. When the burying plow 200 is tilted and unstable due to the swing caused by the sea surface wind and wave, the tilt angle of the burying plow 200, the second automatic telescopic rod 130 adjusting mechanism 120, the roll damping rod 140 and the burying plow 200 connected thereto are changed to the vertical direction or close to the vertical direction, so as to ensure the stable launching of the burying plow 200 in the sea surface wind and wave environment. The locking mechanism 150 controls the separation or connection of the burying plow 200 and the submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100, and cooperates with the steel wire rope 300 to realize the safe launching of the burying plow 200 or the overall safe recovery of the burying plow 200 and the submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100, thereby overcoming the problem that the burying plow 200 cannot be safely launched or recovered in the extreme sea conditions such as large sea surface wind and wave. It helps to broaden the selection range of the window period of submarine cable laying operation.
[0036] The submarine cable burying plow launching and recovering auxiliary device 100 and method provided by the embodiment of the present application can effectively control the swing range of the burying plow 200 in the large sea wave sea condition, complete the safe and stable launching and recovering operation, and help to improve the submarine cable laying level and prolong the operation window period.

Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make other levels of modifications and changes to the present application. Therefore, if these modifications and changes of the present application belong to the scope of the claims of the present application, the present application also intends to include these modifications and changes.
