Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a heavy-duty mobile platform for submarine cable testing, and particularly to a heavy-duty mobile platform for submarine cable testing, belonging to the field of submarine cable handling. Background Technology

[0002] The submarine cable testing system is mainly used for long-distance submarine cable testing. The reactors and test power supplies configured in the system are large-capacity devices, characterized by their large size and heavy weight. The transportation and installation during the testing process are greatly affected by environmental factors such as the test site.

[0003] Currently, tracked trolleys are commonly used for transporting submarine cables. However, these trolleys are not very flexible and often have difficulty turning in confined spaces. In addition, once the travel route deviates, it is difficult for operators to effectively correct it and bring it back to the intended track.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the heavy-duty mobile platform used for submarine cable testing in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heavy-duty mobile platform for submarine cable testing, which can control the rotation of its corresponding drive spindle with a single drive motor. As the output point, the operator can control a single drive motor to rotate the support on one side, thereby achieving 360° rotation of the equipment in place, making the equipment more suitable for use in confined spaces.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solution adopted by the present invention includes: a rigid support column, a protective box, and two supports. The rigid support column and the two supports cooperate to form a complete frame. A control host is installed inside the protective box. The control host is used for signal reception and control of electrical components. Each of the two supports has a connecting arc ring fixedly installed at one end. A drive spindle is rotatably installed inside the connecting arc ring. A drive motor is installed at one end of each of the two drive spindles. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive spindle. The two drive motors are used for the individual control of the two drive spindles. A battery is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two drive motors. Each battery is used to power the corresponding drive motor. Both drive shafts are fixedly equipped with drive gears, which are meshed with tracks. The tracks are located outside the support and are meshed with gears at the bottom of the support.

[0007] Preferably, the number of rigid support columns is at least three, and each rigid support column has a connecting steel plate fixedly installed at both ends. One side of the connecting steel plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support through a fixing claw. The fixing claw is used for the rigid connection between the rigid support column and the support.

[0008] Preferably, one side of one of the rigid support columns is fixedly provided with two receiving bases, and the two receiving bases form an installation base for fixing the position of the protective box.

[0009] Preferably, each of the two supports has an installation cavity on one side, and two installation plates are fixedly installed inside each installation cavity. The two installation plates form a fixed base, and an electric hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the fixed base formed by the installation plates.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the electro-hydraulic rod is provided with a push plate, the push plate abuts against the output end of the electro-hydraulic rod, and a limiting groove plate is fixedly provided on the side of the push plate near the electro-hydraulic rod. A groove is formed on the limiting groove plate, and the center of the groove is on the same axis as the center of the push plate. The output end of the electro-hydraulic rod is slidably connected to the center of the groove of the limiting groove plate. A pusher block is fixedly installed on one side of the pusher plate.

[0011] Preferably, the support has a sliding cavity at the end away from the connecting arc ring, and a support wheel is rotatably arranged inside the sliding cavity. The diameter of the support wheel is larger than the space inside the sliding cavity, and the support wheel abuts against the inner side of the track.

[0012] Preferably, each of the supports has two sets of track plates fixedly installed at one end of its inner side, with two track plates in each set. The two track plates are placed vertically, and a sliding groove is formed between the two track plates. A connecting slider is slidably installed inside the sliding groove.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating rods on both sides of the supporting wheel are rotatably connected to the connecting sliders on both sides, and the supporting wheel is laterally slidably connected to the track plate through the connecting sliders.

[0014] Preferably, the push block is concave on the side near the support wheel, and its concave shape is adapted to the surface of the support wheel. The concave side of the push block abuts against the support wheel, and the push block is used for positional support of the support wheel.

[0015] Preferably, the protective box has several ventilation holes on its periphery for ventilation and heat dissipation of the control host, a fan mounting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the protective box, a cooling fan is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fan mounting plate through a mesh bracket, the cooling fan and the control host are controlled by the same power supply, and several condensation fins are fixedly connected to the fan mounting plate on the periphery of the cooling fan.

[0016] This invention has at least the following beneficial effects: Each drive motor controls the rotation of its corresponding drive spindle. As an output point, the operator can control a single drive motor to rotate a support on one side, thereby achieving 360° rotation of the equipment in place, making the equipment more suitable for use in confined spaces.

[0017] In order to power individual drive motors, batteries are installed on one side of each drive motor, enabling the batteries to power individual drive motors and allowing the device to be used wirelessly. This greatly increases the versatility of the device's application space.

[0018] When the electro-hydraulic rod extends, it can push the push plate to move. At the same time, the push block fixedly connected to the push plate can also move. In this way, the push block can push the support wheel to move in the same direction through the thrust of the electro-hydraulic rod, so that the support wheel can support the track.

[0019] When the electro-hydraulic rod retracts, the support roller will slide inside the sliding cavity due to the pressure of the track, so that the sliding cavity no longer provides support for the track. This makes it easier for maintenance personnel to separate the track from the support. This structure can greatly improve the separation efficiency of the track and support, and increase the track separation speed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the heavy-duty mobile platform for submarine cable testing provided in this embodiment includes a rigid support column 1, a protective box 2, and two supports 3. The rigid support column 1 and the two supports 3 cooperate to form a complete frame. The protective box 2 is equipped with a control host 202, which is used for signal reception and control of electrical components. There are at least three rigid support columns 1. Each rigid support column 1 has a connecting steel plate 101 fixedly installed at both ends. One side of the connecting steel plate 101 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 3 through a fixing claw 102. The fixing claw 102 is used for the rigid connection between the rigid support column 1 and the support 3. The frame composed of multiple high-strength rigid support columns 1 and supports 3 can greatly improve the load-bearing capacity of the device. This not only improves the overall load-bearing capacity of the device, but also expands the placement area, greatly improving the space for the equipment to bear load. Staff can send commands to the control host 202 via mobile wireless devices, thereby controlling the movement of the equipment using the control host 202. Two support bases 103 are fixedly installed on one side of one of the rigid support columns 1. The two support bases 103 form an installation base for fixing the position of the protective box 2. The support bases 103 can support the protective box 2 and provide a position for the installation of the protective box 2, so that the protective box 2 will move with the whole equipment when it moves.

[0024] Each of the two supports 3 has a connecting arc ring 303 fixedly installed at one end. A drive spindle 503 is rotatably installed inside the connecting arc ring 303. A drive motor 501 is installed at one end of each of the two drive spindles 503. The output end of the drive motor 501 is fixedly connected to the drive spindle 503. The two drive motors 501 are used for the individual control of the two drive spindles 503. A storage battery 5 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two drive motors 501. Each storage battery 5 is used to power the corresponding drive motor 501. Each of the two drive spindles 503 is fixedly equipped with a drive gear 502, which meshes with a track 4. The track 4 is located outside the support 3 and meshes with a gear at the bottom of the support 3. A separate drive motor 501 controls the rotation of its corresponding drive spindle 503. As an output point, the operator can control a single drive motor 501 to rotate a support 3 on a single side, thereby achieving 360° rotation of the equipment in place, making the equipment more suitable for use in confined spaces. In order to power a single drive motor 501, a battery 5 is installed on one side of each of the two drive motors 501. The battery 5 can power the individual drive motor 501, enabling the device to be used wirelessly, which greatly increases the versatility of the device's use.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-5 As shown; each of the two supports 3 has an installation cavity 302 on one side. Each installation cavity 302 has two installation support plates 601 fixedly installed inside. The two installation support plates 601 form a fixed base. An electric hydraulic rod 6 is fixedly installed on the fixed base formed by the installation support plates 601. The electric hydraulic rod 6 can be placed inside the support 3 through the installation cavity 302 to achieve a hidden installation effect. The output end of the electric hydraulic rod 6 is provided with a push plate 801, which abuts against the output end of the electric hydraulic rod 6. A limiting groove plate 602 is fixedly provided on the side of the push plate 801 near the electric hydraulic rod 6. A groove is provided on the limiting groove plate 602, and the center of the groove is on the same axis as the center of the push plate 801. The output end of the electric hydraulic rod 6 is slidably connected to the center of the groove of the limiting groove plate 602. The function of the mounting plate 601 is to use the opening on it to determine that the output end of the electric hydraulic rod 6 is opposite to the center of the push plate 801, thereby avoiding the deformation of the push plate 801 after long-term use due to tilting caused by thrust. Among them, a push block 8 is fixedly provided on one side of the push plate 801. The push block 8 is concave on the side near the support wheel 701, and its concave shape is adapted to the surface of the support wheel 701. The concave side of the push block 8 abuts against the support wheel 701. The push block 8 is used to support the position of the support wheel 701. When the electric hydraulic rod 6 extends, it can push the push plate 801 to move. At the same time, the push block 8 fixedly connected to the push plate 801 can also move when the push plate 801 moves. Thus, the push block 8 can push the support wheel 701 to move in the same direction through the thrust of the electric hydraulic rod 6, so that the support wheel 701 can support the track 4. Conversely, when the electric hydraulic rod 6 retracts, the support wheel 701 will slide inside the sliding cavity 7 under the pressure of the track 4, so that the sliding cavity 7 no longer provides support for the track 4, thereby facilitating the separation of the track 4 and the support 3 by maintenance personnel. This structure can greatly improve the separation efficiency of the track 4 and the support 3, and increase the separation speed of the track 4.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a sliding cavity 7 is provided at the end of the support 3 away from the connecting arc ring 303. A support wheel 701 is rotatably arranged inside the sliding cavity 7. The diameter of the support wheel 701 is larger than the inner space of the sliding cavity 7. The support wheel 701 abuts against the inner side of the track 4. The opening of the sliding cavity 7 can provide sliding space for the support wheel 701, so that the support wheel 701 can have a sliding adjustment distance, thereby achieving the above-mentioned effect of quick separation between the track 4 and the support 3.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, each support 3 has two sets of opposing track plates 702 fixedly installed on one end of its inner side. Each set of track plates 702 consists of two plates, which are placed vertically and form a sliding groove between them. A connecting slider 703 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove. The rotating rods on both sides of the support wheel 701 are rotatably connected to the connecting sliders 703 on both sides. The support wheel 701 is laterally slidably connected to the track plate 702 through the connecting sliders 703. The connecting sliders 703 slide between the two track plates 702, and the opposite sides of the support wheel 701 are rotatably connected to the connecting sliders 703. Thus, when the support wheel 701 slides, the connecting sliders 703 can restrict and guide the sliding trajectory of the support wheel 701, so that the support wheel 701 can slide along a predetermined trajectory during the sliding process. At the same time, the track plate 702 and the connecting slider 703 can also provide support for the support wheel 701.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the protective box 2 has several ventilation holes 201 on its sides for ventilation and heat dissipation of the control host 202. A fan mounting plate 203 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the protective box 2. A cooling fan 204 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fan mounting plate 203 through a mesh bracket. The cooling fan 204 and the control host 202 are controlled by the same power supply. Several condenser fins 205 are fixedly connected to the fan mounting plate 203 on the sides of the cooling fan 204. The ventilation holes 201 provide air cooling for the control host 202. At the same time, the cooling fan 204 can accelerate air cooling, so that heat will not accumulate on the surface of the control host 202, which may cause the control host 202 to jam or gas. The condenser fins 205 can also actively reduce the temperature of the air around the cooling fan 204, which can further improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown in this embodiment, the principle of the heavy-duty mobile platform for submarine cable testing is as follows: A single drive motor 501 controls the rotation of its corresponding drive spindle 503. As an output point, the operator can control a single drive motor 501 to rotate the support 3 on one side, thereby achieving 360° rotation of the equipment in place, making the equipment more suitable for use in confined spaces. In order to power a single drive motor 501, a storage battery 5 is installed on one side of each of the two drive motors 501. The storage battery 5 can power a single drive motor 501, enabling the device to be used wirelessly, which greatly increases the versatility of the device's use. At the same time, when the electric hydraulic rod 6 extends, it can push the push plate 801 to move. When the push plate 801 moves, the push block 8 fixedly connected to it can also move. Thus, the push block 8 can push the support wheel 701 to move in the same direction through the thrust of the electric hydraulic rod 6, so that the support wheel 701 can support the track 4. Conversely, when the electric hydraulic rod 6 retracts, the support wheel 701 will slide inside the sliding cavity 7 under the pressure of the track 4, so that the sliding cavity 7 no longer provides support for the track 4, thereby facilitating the separation of the track 4 and the support 3 by maintenance personnel. This structure can greatly improve the separation efficiency of the track 4 and the support 3, and increase the separation speed of the track 4.
