Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of offshore construction, in particular to a simple submarine cable transportation device. Background Art
[0002] Submarine cables are cable systems used to connect submarine power, communications, and data transmission. They have complex structures, typically consisting of multiple layers of insulation, protective materials, and metal conductors. They are an indispensable and critical component of modern marine engineering. A common problem during the construction and transportation of submarine cables is their direct contact with the rough, sandy ground. Therefore, during towing and transportation, friction between the cable and the ground, as well as improper handling, can easily damage the cable surface. Damage to the cable surface can not only affect its insulation and protective properties, reducing its service life, but can also seriously impact the quality of communications and power transmission, and even lead to safety incidents. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a simple submarine cable transportation device to solve the problem that the submarine cable may be damaged by friction with the ground during transportation.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a simple submarine cable transportation device, comprising a support base, a plurality of rollers fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support base, and an arc-shaped plate provided on the upper surface of the support base, the arc-shaped plate being used to support the submarine cable and prevent the submarine cable from falling off the support base during transportation;
[0005] The arc plate includes a left arc plate and a right arc plate, which are connected to opposite ends of the support base in a mirror-symmetrical rotation. When the submarine cable is placed on the left arc plate and the right arc plate, the submarine cable presses the left arc plate and the right arc plate to rotate around the rotating connection through gravity until the left arc plate and the right arc plate wrap around the submarine cable.
[0006] Furthermore, torsion springs are installed at the rotational connections of the left arc plate and the right arc plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of the left arc plate and the right arc plate are both fixedly connected with a rubber layer.
[0008] Furthermore, the support base is formed by welding four steel beams, and the four steel beams are rectangular after welding.
[0009] Furthermore, the roller is a universal wheel.
[0010] Furthermore, there are four rollers, which are rectangular and welded to the lower surface of the support base.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0012] 1. When transporting the submarine cable, place a device every 5 meters under the submarine cable. When the submarine cable is placed on the left and right arc plates, the left and right arc plates rotate to wrap the submarine cable. When the submarine cable is pulled for transportation, the rollers of the support base roll and move synchronously with the submarine cable, so that the submarine cable is separated from the ground and will not generate friction with the ground, ensuring that the submarine cable will not be damaged by friction.
[0013] 2. When the submarine cable is placed on the left and right arc plates, the weight of the submarine cable presses the left and right arc plates to rotate around the rotating joints and then clamps and wraps the submarine cable. In this way, even if the road surface is uneven and shakes during the movement and transportation of the submarine cable, the submarine cable will not fall.
[0014] 3. By arranging a torsion spring at the rotating connection of the left arc plate and the right arc plate, when the left arc plate and the right arc plate rotate around the rotating connection and then clamp and wrap the submarine cable, the torsion spring is in a torsion state. When the submarine cable needs to be removed, it is only necessary to lift the submarine cable upward. Then, the left arc plate and the right arc plate can automatically open the left arc plate and the right arc plate under the torsion force of the torsion spring, thereby releasing the clamping and wrapping of the submarine cable.

[0017] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Status diagram when the submarine cable has not been laid. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:
[0019] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: arc plate 1 , left arc plate 101 , right arc plate 102 , support base 2 , roller 3 , and rubber layer 4 .
[0020] The embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown:
[0021] A simple submarine cable transportation device includes a support base 2, which is a rectangular support base 2 welded from four steel beams. Four rollers 3 made of universal wheels are welded to the lower surface of the support base 2. The four rollers 3 are rectangularly distributed on the lower surface of the support base 2. The upper surface of the support base 2 is provided with an arc plate 1, which includes a left arc plate 101 and a right arc plate 102. The left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 are connected to the opposite ends of the support base 2 in a mirror-symmetrical rotation, and the inner concave surfaces of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 are opposite to each other. The rotating connections of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 are both installed with torsion springs, and the upper surfaces of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 are both fixedly connected with a rubber layer 4.
[0022] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0023] When in use, one device is placed at intervals of about five meters, and then the submarine cable is placed directly on the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102. At this time, the submarine cable presses the bottom ends of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 downward through the action of gravity. At this time, the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 rotate around the rotating connection, and the top ends of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 gradually approach each other. After the top ends of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 stop moving, the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 complete the wrapping and clamping of the submarine cable, and the torsion spring is also in a torsion state. When the submarine cable is pulled for transportation, the roller 3 of the supporting base 2 rolls and moves synchronously with the submarine cable, so that the submarine cable is separated from the ground and does not generate friction with the ground. When the submarine cable needs to be removed, the submarine cable is lifted upward, and the bottom ends of the left arc plate 101 and the right arc plate 102 are no longer compressed by the submarine cable and can automatically open under the torsion of the torsion spring, thereby releasing the clamping and wrapping of the submarine cable.
