[0002] When constructing drainage pipelines under the ocean, anchors are common gravity-supported structures used in water conservancy and hydropower projects, municipal projects, and oil and gas pipeline projects to prevent pressure pipelines from slipping, overturning, and twisting. There are two types of anchors: open and closed. Buried pressure pipelines generally use closed anchors. In projects such as long-distance pressurized water pipelines, hydropower station penstocks, and municipal water supply networks, anchors are often required at the bends of the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the pipelines to meet the stability requirements of the turning points. Oil and gas pipelines also often have anchors at the bends to limit displacement caused by temperature and pressure. If the foundation soil layer is a weak soil layer, it is difficult to build anchors to fix the steel pipes at the corners. At the same time, ordinary anchors are prone to uneven settlement and damage to the pipeline.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to explore a corner anchor device solution for offshore buried pipes with stable structure and applicable to soft soil layers. Utility Model Content

[0009] A steel beam, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the pile cap, and the steel beam is used to connect and fix the pile foundation.

[0010] In this solution, the corner stabilization device suitable for offshore buried pipes in soft soil layers is connected by pile foundations, hoop beams, pile caps and steel beams, and has a stable structure, safe and reliable. The design of the device effectively reduces the influence of the centrifugal force of the water flow on the steel pipe at the corner position, avoiding the slippage and overturning of the steel pipe. The overall structure at the corner position of the pipeline is safer and more reliable, and the steel pipe high piles can adapt to the soft soil layers under the sea and have good stability. The pile foundation and the pile cap adopt concrete casting technology, and the construction is simple and convenient. The pile cap, the hoop beam and other components can be prefabricated according to factory standards to achieve large-scale production and reduce the cost.

[0011] Preferably, the pile foundation is arranged at the corner of the steel pipe in a triangular shape.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the pile foundation is provided with the pile cap, and the bottom of the steel beam is fixed to the pile cap.

[0013] In this solution, the hoop beams on each of the pile foundations are connected and fixed by I-shaped steel plates to limit the displacement of the steel pipe.

[0014] Preferably, concrete is poured above the pile cap to cast and fix the pile foundation and the pile cap as one.

[0015] On the basis of being in accordance with the common sense in the art, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be arbitrarily combined to obtain the preferred embodiments of the present utility model.
