AI Technical Summary
Traditional buoyancy aids are subject to mutual constraints in compressive strength and buoyancy coefficient under high pressure in deep water. The materials are fragile and easily damaged, and their buoyancy performance deteriorates after long-term immersion, making it difficult to meet the stability requirements of deep-sea oil and gas development.
The float box and protective plates are made of aluminum foam, combined with extension plates and protective mechanisms. Stable docking of the floating body mechanism is achieved through docking blocks and signal connectors. The outer and inner protective plates provide buffer protection. By utilizing the lightweight and high rigidity characteristics of aluminum foam and the buffering performance of the protective mechanism, the stability and impact resistance of the device are enhanced.
The stability and impact resistance of the buoyancy-assisted protection device have been improved. The high specific strength and good energy absorption of the foamed aluminum material make it suitable for deep-sea oil and gas development.

[0002] Subsea production systems are core equipment for deep-sea oil and gas development, including heavy equipment such as well trees, manifolds, and distribution units. The installation, positioning, and long-term stability of these devices face enormous challenges. Traditional buoyancy aids often employ synthetic foam (such as polyurethane or polystyrene foam) or composite material pressure shells with built-in lightweight buoyancy materials.
[0003] Synthetic foam materials have significant drawbacks under deep-water and high-pressure conditions: compressive strength and buoyancy coefficient are mutually restrictive, and high-buoyancy materials often have low strength and are prone to creep or compression failure; the material is brittle and has poor impact resistance, making it easy to break during installation or collision; long-term immersion may cause water absorption, leading to a decrease in buoyancy performance. To solve these problems, this application proposes a novel buoyancy auxiliary protection device for underwater oil production. Summary of the Invention
