Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of underwater cable shockproofing, and specifically relates to a combined vibration reduction flag. Background Art

[0002] Submarine cables are cables laid on the bottom of rivers, lakes and seas. They have a history of more than a hundred years. They were initially used to supply power to offshore lighthouses and other equipment. Today, they are used for power grid connections and communication connections between islands and the mainland or between islands, between land and offshore wind farms, and offshore drilling platforms, as well as short-distance river crossings. Their functions have also evolved from simple power cables and communication cables to today's optoelectronic composite cables that can simultaneously transmit power and communications.

[0003] Due to the unevenness of the seabed or the erosion of the seabed by currents and waves, it is easy for the suspended end of the submarine cable (referred to as the cable span) to not be in direct contact with the seabed surface. When the current passes through the suspended section, it will be accompanied by periodic vortex emission, causing periodic vortex-induced vibration of the cable span. The vortex-induced vibration of the cable span will cause friction between the submarine cable and the seabed rock. Long-term friction will cause damage to the surface of the submarine cable, seriously affecting its service life. How to reduce the vibration caused by vortices formed by currents and waves is crucial to the life of the cable. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vibration reduction flag to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A combined vibration-reducing flag includes a covering body that wraps a rope body and a supporting member that supports the covering body. The covering body can be in a strip shape when not in operation, and two positions of the covering body are respectively provided with connecting members, and the two connecting members can be connected to each other. When the connecting members are connected to each other, the covering body is an annular structure. When the vibration-reducing flag is working in water, the covering body is an annular structure, and the supporting member is a through structure, and the water flow passes through the supporting member, and the supporting member passes through and fits the covering body, and the supporting member is arranged in the space formed by the rope body and the annular covering body.

[0007] Preferably, when the vibration-damping flag is working in water, the sheath is an annular structure, and the rope body passes through the sheath and fits with the sheath.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the coating body are acute-angled.

[0009] Preferably, Velcro is provided at both ends of the covering body and near the corners.

[0010] Preferably, the covering body is made of a soft material, such as nylon. The supporting member is made of one or more of nylon or plastic.

[0011] Preferably, the figure of the cross section of the support member has opposite oblique lines and the included angle between the extension lines of the two oblique lines is an acute angle.

[0012] Preferably, the support member.

[0013] Preferably, the cross section of the support member is conical, triangular or trapezoidal.

[0014] Preferably, the support member is symmetrically provided with stoppers each having a groove.

[0015] Preferably, when the vibration-damping flag is working in water, the rope body passes through a plurality of combined vibration-damping flags, and the distance between adjacent combined vibration-damping flags is less than the width of the supporting member.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] The covering body of the utility model can be a strip of soft material when not in use, which is convenient for storing the covering body and saves storage space for the covering body. Connectors are designed at two positions of the covering body. After the covering body is folded in half, the two connectors are connected to each other so that the covering body is ring-shaped, and the rope body and the covering body fit together. These two designs can wrap the rope body.

[0018] In the design of the utility model, when the vibration-damping flag works in water, the covering body is an annular structure, the support member is arranged in the space formed by the rope body and the annular covering body, and the support member passes through and fits the covering body. This design ensures that the support member supports the covering body made of soft material and maintains the shape of the support body when working underwater.

[0019] In the design of the utility model, when the vibration reduction flag works underwater, the support member is a through structure, and water flows through the support member, thereby reducing the resistance of the water flow near the vibration reduction flag, and when the support member is recovered, the support member can be easily removed using a pick.

[0020] The utility model designs the connecting piece of the covering body as a Velcro structure. When the curled rope collecting body is recovered, the Velcro can be opened to open the annular covering body, so that the support piece and the vibration reduction flag are separated conveniently.

[0021] The tail of the covering body of the utility model is designed to be an acute angle. After the covering body is folded in half, the two ends form a dovetail shape. The dovetail shape can be extended to release the disturbance stress, alleviate the vibration caused by turbulence formed by irregular water masses, and further reduce the vortex-induced vibration formed by currents and waves.

[0022] The covering body of the utility model is designed to be a soft material, which can be nylon, XXX. The soft material helps to follow the direction of water flow in water, reduce water resistance, extend and release turbulent flow stress, and reduce vortex-induced vibrations formed by currents and waves.

[0023] The support member of the utility model is symmetrically provided with stoppers each having a groove, and a pick can be used to press against the grooved portion to separate the support member from the covering body.

[0024] The cross-section of the support member of the utility model is triangular, trapezoidal or conical, which can ensure that the support member in the annular covering body has inclined surfaces on both sides. The inclined surfaces help to reduce water resistance, extend and release turbulent flow stress, and reduce vortex-induced vibrations formed by currents and waves.

[0025] When the vibration-damping flag of the utility model works in water, the rope body passes through a plurality of combined vibration-damping flags, and the distance between adjacent combined vibration-damping flags is smaller than the width of the supporting member. The vibration-damping flag does not need to be fixedly connected in the annular sheathing body, and the supporting member and the sheathing body will not be separated due to the impact of the water flow. In addition, it can be ensured that the vibration-damping flag can freely rotate 360° around the rope body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
