AI Technical Summary
When the existing submarine cable laying and maintenance equipment deals with submarine cables of different diameters, the bending degree is fixed and unadjustable, resulting in unstable submarine cable laying. When the ship deviates in wind and waves, it is difficult to adjust the submarine cable orientation in time, which can easily lead to crooked submarine cable laying.
A submarine cable maintenance equipment is designed, using adjustable installation and adjustment components, combined with azimuth sensor and a drive motor, to detect and correct the position of the submarine cable in real time, ensuring that the submarine cable maintains a stable bending arc during the laying process and adapt to submarine cables of different diameters.
By real-time correction of the position of the submarine cable and adjusting the bending arc, the problem of unstable submarine cable laying is solved, ensuring that the submarine cable maintains a safe bending under different conditions, avoiding damage and crooked submarine cable laying, and providing a time window for ship orientation adjustment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of submarine cable application equipment, in particular to submarine cable laying and repairing equipment. Background Art
[0002] During the laying or maintenance and cable collection process of the submarine cable, the submarine cable needs to move from the hull to the seawater or from the seawater to the hull. There is a height difference between the hull and the seabed. Therefore, during the laying or maintenance and cable collection process of the submarine cable, the submarine cable needs to be bent. Therefore, a bend limiter is used to limit the bending degree of the submarine cable in the device to prevent the submarine cable from being damaged by excessive bending during the laying process.
[0003] However, the safe bending diameters of submarine cables of different diameters are different, and the existing bending limiters have a fixed curvature and cannot be adjusted, making them inconvenient to use. At the same time, during the navigation of a ship, the ship may deviate due to wind and waves, and it is not convenient to adjust its position immediately, which may easily cause the submarine cable to be laid crookedly.
[0004] To this end, we proposed a submarine cable laying and maintenance equipment. Utility Model Content
