[0003] The counterweights for pipelines crossing (sea) rivers are an engineering technology designed to support and protect pipelines, cables and other facilities crossing the bottom of (sea) rivers. Its main goal is to ensure that the laid pipelines, cables and other facilities remain stable and safe under the complex water flow and (sea) riverbed pressure environment. In order to achieve this goal, the counterweights for pipelines, cables and other facilities crossing (sea) rivers have sufficient weight to provide sufficient support for the pipelines, effectively resist the pressure of water flow and (sea) riverbed, and maintain stability and safety.

[0004] Traditional counterweights for pipelines crossing (sea) rivers are usually made of cast-in-place high-strength concrete or other water-resistant materials, which have good stability and durability in water. However, they have the disadvantages of long construction time, large excavation area, and high labor and material costs, which need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] A counterweight structure for a sea / river pipeline comprises two symmetrically arranged counterweights and a plurality of connecting bolts connecting the two counterweights together. The two counterweights are provided with arc-shaped recesses on opposite sides thereof, which form a passage for the pipeline to pass through when closed. A rubber gasket is provided between the pipeline and the inner wall of the arc-shaped recess.

[0008] Preferably, each counterweight block is provided with reserved holes on both sides, the reserved holes of the two counterweight blocks are arranged in alignment, and the connecting bolts are inserted into the aligned reserved holes and fastened by nuts.

[0009] Preferably, the counterweight block is provided with a groove for facilitating the tightening of the nut.

[0010] Preferably, the counterweight is provided with a lifting ring.

[0011] Preferably, the two counterweights are connected to form a hexagonal or octagonal structure.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the reserved hole is 3-4 mm larger than the diameter of the connecting bolt.

[0013] Preferably, a gap of 20-30 mm is maintained between the two counterweights.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model uses a spliced ​​counterweight block to replace the traditional (sea) riverbed cast-in-place concrete method, which can save material and manpower, machinery and other costs, save construction time, reduce excavation area, and reduce overall construction costs. It can be flexibly arranged according to slope conditions, and the fastening force between the two counterweight blocks can be adjusted within a certain range, and the scope of application is wider.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a counterweight structure for a sea / river pipeline, comprising a symmetrically arranged first counterweight 1 and a second counterweight 2, and a plurality of connecting bolts 5 connecting the two counterweights. Both counterweights are prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, and arc-shaped recesses adapted to the outer wall of a pipeline 6 are formed on the opposite sides of the two counterweights, and a passage for the pipeline 6 to pass through is formed when the two counterweights are closed, and a rubber gasket 7 is provided between the pipeline 6 and the inner wall of the arc-shaped recess. In the present embodiment, the sea / river pipeline 6 is a PE pipeline 6 or a steel pipeline 6.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , the two counterweights are connected to form a hexagonal or octagonal structure, with a gap of 20-30mm between the two counterweights, and a lifting ring 8 is provided on each counterweight. Reserved holes 3 are provided on both sides of each counterweight, and the reserved holes 3 of the two counterweights are arranged in alignment. The connecting bolts 5 are inserted into the aligned reserved holes 3 and fastened by nuts. In order to facilitate the fastening operation, the aperture of the reserved hole 3 is 3-4mm larger than the diameter of the connecting bolt 5. The counterweight is provided with a groove 4 for nut fastening. The fastening force of the connecting bolt 5 on the counterweight can be adjusted by the nut, so that the two counterweights fix the pipe 6 wrapped with a layer of rubber gasket 7. The fastening force of the connecting bolt 5 should be 2 to 3 times the mass of the counterweight, and the connecting bolt 5 has corrosion resistance and high strength.

[0025] The thickness, width and distribution spacing of two adjacent sets of counterweight structures are determined according to the anti-floating and anti-scouring conditions of the (sea) river pipeline 6. For example, the standard thickness of the counterweight is 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, and the standard width is 0.4, 0.6m, 0.8m, 1m.

[0026] During installation, it is necessary to excavate a trench for the pipeline 6 , the slope ratio of the trench excavation is not less than 1:4, and the buried depth of the pipe top of the pipeline 6 from the (sea) river bottom is not less than 1.2 m.

[0027] The method of using this embodiment is as follows:

[0029] Determine the installation position of the counterweight on the pipeline, wrap the rubber gasket at the installation position, fasten the counterweight to the determined installation position through the connecting bolts, and then transport the pipeline with the installed counterweight to the (sea) river trench excavation position, and then slowly place the pipeline into the excavated (sea) river bottom trench. After the pipeline is placed in the trench, backfill both sides of the pipeline and cover the pipeline with soil to the (sea) riverbed elevation.
