Detailed Embodiment

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: It includes a cable body 1, characterized in that: a protection component 2 is provided on the outer side of the cable body 1. The protection component 2 includes a connection ring 21 for connecting with a J-shaped protection tube, a plurality of protection sleeve rings 22, a plurality of movable plates 23, a plurality of fixed plates 24 and gravity balls 25. The connection ring 21 is fixedly connected to the cable body 1. The connection ring 21 is sequentially connected to the plurality of protection sleeve rings 22 through the plurality of movable plates 23 and the plurality of fixed plates 24. The movable plate 23 is rotatably connected to the protection sleeve ring 22. The fixed plate 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the protection sleeve ring 22. The fixed plate 24 is slidably connected to the inner side of the movable plate 23. A plurality of limiting triangular blocks 222 for limiting the movable plate 23 are provided on the outer side of the protection sleeve ring 22, and the gravity ball 25 is located at the bottom of the protection sleeve ring 22 farthest from the connection ring 21.

[0018] In this implementation: It includes a cable body 1. Submarine cables refer to cables laid on the seabed, which are used to transmit electricity or data. These cables can be used in a variety of applications, including submarine communication, ocean observation, and offshore oil and gas development. The material of the cable body 1 has a compressive effect. A protective component 2 is provided on the outer side of the cable body 1. The J-shaped protective pipe provides external protection for the submarine cable to prevent it from having large movement and deformation under the action of wave and current loads. However, local scour on the seabed during the operation period changes the mud-exiting point position of the submarine cable, resulting in the suspension of the submarine cable and affecting its structural strength. By setting the protective component 2 at the suspended part of the cable body 1, the suspended part of the cable body 1 can be protected to avoid the situation where the cable body 1 breaks due to excessive change in the bending angle caused by the change in the suspended length of the cable body 1. The protective component 2 includes a connection ring 21 for connecting with the J-shaped protective pipe, several protective sleeve rings 22, several movable plates 23, several fixed plates 24, and a gravity ball 25. The connection ring 21 is fixedly connected to the cable body 1. The connection ring 21 is fixedly connected to the cable body 1, and at the same time, the connection ring 21 is connected to the bell mouth of the J-shaped protective pipe, so that the cable body 1 can be connected to the bell mouth of the J-shaped protective pipe. The connection ring 21 and several protective sleeve rings 22 are sequentially connected through several movable plates 23 and several fixed plates 24. Through the connection of the movable plates 23 and the fixed plates 24 to several protective sleeve rings 22, several protective sleeve rings 22 can be located outside the suspended section of the cable body 1. The movable plate 23 is rotatably connected to the protective sleeve ring 22. When the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1 changes, the bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 will also change. Several movable plates 23 will rotate with the change in the bending angle of the cable body 1. The fixed plate 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective sleeve ring 22. The fixed plate 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable plate 23. As the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1 changes, several fixed plates 24 will slide with the movable plate 23. Several limiting triangular blocks 222 for limiting the movable plate 23 are provided on the outer side of the protective sleeve ring 22. Limiting triangular blocks 222 are provided at the top and bottom of the movable plate 23. Through the limiting triangular blocks 222, the rotation angle of the movable plate 23 can be limited, so as to limit the bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 and avoid the situation where the cable body 1 breaks due to too small bending angle of the suspended section. And the gravity ball 25 is located at the bottom of the protective sleeve ring 22 farthest from the connection ring 21. When the suspended section of the cable body 1 grows, the gravity of the gravity ball 25 will drive the protective sleeve ring 22 to slide downward, so that the protective component 2 always protects the suspended section of the cable body 1. Through the protective component 2, the suspended section of the cable body 1 can be protected to avoid the situation where the cable body 1 breaks due to too small bending angle of the suspended section. At the same time, due to the gravity ball 25, the overall length of the protective component 2 will change with the change in the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1.This is conducive to enabling the protection component 2 to always protect the suspended section of the cable body 1.

[0019] One of the protective collar rings 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 21, and several other protective collar rings 22 are slidably connected to the outside of the cable body 1; as the several protective collar rings 22 slide, the positions of the several protective collar rings 22 can change.

[0020] A connecting shaft 221 is provided on the outside of the protective collar ring 22, a through groove 232 is formed on the movable plate 23, and the connecting shaft 221 is rotatably connected to the inside of the through groove 232; when the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1 changes, the bending angle at the suspended part of the cable body 1 will also change, and the movable plate 23 will rotate accordingly.

[0021] An engaging groove 231 is formed on the movable plate 23, an engaging block 241 is provided on the fixed plate 24, and the engaging block 241 is slidably connected to the inside of the engaging groove 231; through the connection between the engaging block 241 and the engaging groove 231, the situation where the fixed plate 24 and the movable plate 23 are completely separated can be avoided.

[0022] A connecting seat 223 is provided at the bottom of the protective collar ring 22 farthest from the connecting ring 21, a connecting block 224 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 223, a suspension rope 225 is provided at the bottom of the connecting block 224, and a gravity ball 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the suspension rope 225; through the connection of the suspension rope 225, the connecting block 224 and the connecting seat 223, the gravity ball 25 hangs at the bottom of the protective collar ring 22, so that the protection component 2 can be driven to extend to the lowest position of the suspended section.

[0023] An arc-shaped limiting plate 226 is provided at the top of the protective collar ring 22; through several arc-shaped limiting plates 226, the bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 can be further limited, and the situation of fracture caused by too small bending angle can be avoided.

[0024] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When in use, when the local scouring of seawater causes a suspended section to appear at the position of the cable body 1 at the bottom of the bell mouth of the J-shaped protection pipe, the gravity ball 25 can drive the protection component 2 to extend along with the change of the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1, so that the protection component 2 can always protect the suspended section of the cable body 1. When the length of the suspended section of the cable body 1 changes, the bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 will also change, and several movable plates 23 will rotate along with the change of the bending angle of the cable body 1. The rotation angle of the movable plate 23 can be limited by the limiting triangular block 222, so as to limit the bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 and avoid the situation that the cable body 1 breaks due to too small bending angle of the suspended section. The bending angle of the suspended section of the cable body 1 can be further limited by several arc-shaped limiting plates 226.
