Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of submarine pipeline laying, in particular to a submarine pipeline jet trenching machine. Background Art
[0002] The submarine pipeline jet trencher is a device specially used for digging trenches when laying pipelines on the seabed. Its working principle is mainly to flush the seabed on both sides and the bottom of the submarine pipeline with high-pressure water flow to break the seabed soil layer or liquefy the soil to form the trench required for burying the pipeline. In this process, the high-pressure mud suction system equipped on the trencher sucks away the mud and sand generated during the trenching process to ensure the cleanliness of the trench and the smooth laying of the pipeline. The existing submarine pipeline jet trencher can basically meet the daily use needs, but there are still some shortcomings that need to be improved.
[0003] When using the existing submarine pipeline jet trencher, due to the complex and changeable submarine terrain and soil conditions, different areas may require different widths of plows to achieve the best excavation effect. The plow width on the trencher is usually fixed. If the plow width is not appropriate, the width of the excavated trench may not match the pipeline diameter, increasing the difficulty of sinking and fixing the pipeline, and may even damage the pipeline. For this reason, we propose a submarine pipeline jet trencher to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] By means of the adjustment assembly 6 arranged on the sliding frame 1, the brake disc 64 can drive the double-headed screw 63 to rotate on the bearing 62, and the rotating double-headed screw 63 can act on the two sets of transmission blocks 66, so that the transmission blocks 66 can synchronously drive the sliding ring 67 to slide on the sliding frame 1, and the two sets of sliding rings 67 simultaneously drive the second plow cutter 69 to slide back and forth in the first plow cutter 68, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the width between the first plow cutter 68 and the second plow cutter 69, ensuring that the width of the excavated trench matches the diameter of the pipeline, so that the pipeline can sink smoothly and get proper support, and it helps to reduce errors and unnecessary soil disturbance during the excavation process and improve the excavation quality.
[0025] In other embodiments, the guide assembly 7 includes a slide groove 71 provided in the movable bin 61 and the bracket 2, a connecting rod 72 is provided on the top surface of the transmission block 66 in the slide groove 71, a clamping plate 73 is provided on the right surface of the connecting rod 72, a pulley 74 is rotatably provided on the corresponding side surface of the two sets of clamping plates 73, and a guide groove 75 is provided on the bracket 2 corresponding to the bottom surface of the clamping plate 73;

[0028] Through this design, when the brake disc 64 is rotated to multiple angles under the rotation of the double-headed screw 63, the brake disc 64 can be limited by rotating the threaded rod 65 on the inner thread of the brake disc 64 so that the threaded rod 65 is rotated into the threaded groove on the movable chamber 61, thereby preventing the double-headed screw 63 from rotating on the bearing 62 under the external force of the brake disc 64, thereby causing the second plow 69 to slide in the first plow 68, and then the width of the second plow 69 and the first plow 68 are not equal to the diameter of the pipe.

[0032] This design can increase the friction between the operator's hand and the brake disc 64, preventing seaweed from adhering to the surface of the brake disc 64, which would cause the operator's hand to slip when using the brake disc 64.
[0033] In other embodiments, both sets of clamping plates 73 are provided with semicircular grooves, and both semicircular grooves are provided with pulleys 74;
[0034] Through this design, the two sets of clamping plates 73 can be made equal in shape to the pipe, so that the pipe contacts the surface of the pulley 74, and the pulley 74 is driven to rotate in the clamping plate 73 by the sinking of the pipe, thereby effectively reducing the damage caused by direct friction between the pipe and the clamping plate 73.
[0035] In other embodiments, the connecting rod 72 is designed to be rectangular, and the slide groove 71 is provided as a rectangular groove adapted to the connecting rod 72;
[0036] Through this design, the slide groove 71 can achieve the purpose of sliding limit of the connecting rod 72, preventing the connecting rod 72 from shaking during the sliding process in the slide groove 71, thereby improving the sliding stability of the connecting rod 72 in the slide groove 71.
[0037] The utility model provides a jet trenching machine for submarine pipelines, and the specific working principle is as follows:
