Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power distribution equipment for cable laying and trenching machines, in particular to a chassis-type substation for submarine cable laying and trenching machines. Background Art

[0002] When the submarine trencher is working underwater, it mainly relies on the power provided by the ship. The power of the submarine trencher requires different voltage levels, and due to the limitations of underwater conditions, motor protection and other measures also need to be completed on the power supply side. The submarine trencher is not fixed on a certain ship. It will operate on different ships and different sea areas according to different business needs. Therefore, its power supply and distribution system needs to be designed to be mobile. In order to facilitate mobility, the power supply and distribution system is required to be small in size and highly integrated, because different ships can only provide different deck spaces. If the volume is too large, it may not be able to fit, and it is also inconvenient to hoist. The power supply and distribution system is required to be convenient and quick to wire, and it cannot have many wiring and routing procedures like the onshore distribution room. In addition, it is also required to be highly safe and can meet the weather on the sea surface, hull shaking and other conditions. The existing power supply and distribution system has low integration, large volume, large wiring engineering, and the entire power supply and distribution system cannot be moved as a whole, resulting in a large amount of mobile engineering, and low power. Sometimes there will be a situation of "digging cannot be done". In addition, the underwater power unit cannot be controlled separately. Utility Model Content
