[0025] In order to make the skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the preferred implementation scheme of the utility model is described below in combination with specific examples, and the examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar functional elements throughout, but it should be understood that the drawings are only for illustrative description, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model; in order to better illustrate the embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted, and the positional relationship described in the drawings is only for illustrative description, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0026] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings and examples, but is not as the basis for limiting the utility model.

[0027] The utility model provides a kind of armored structure anchoring device of submarine cable, including protective sleeve 2, armored structure is equipped in protective sleeve 2, one end of protective sleeve 2 is sealed by grouting cover plate 1, the other end of protective sleeve 2 is connected with anti-bending pipe 5 by connecting flange 4, anti-bending pipe 5 and protective sleeve 2 are equipped with through hole for submarine cable, protective sleeve 2 includes the two protective covers 21 of symmetrical arrangement, one side of two protective covers 21 is connected by hinge 24, the other side of two protective covers 21 is fixed by bolt.

[0028] End portion is fixed in the position of larger bending moment and installs anti-bending pipe 5, equivalent to add certain cross-section bending stiffness on submarine cable, so that it will not produce too large bending.

[0029] Protective sleeve 2 is circular truncated cone, and the diameter of one end of protective sleeve 2 provided with grouting cover plate 1 is larger.

[0030] Protective sleeve 2 realizes left and right two protective cover 21 partial rotation closure by hinge 24, and the bolt fixation of other side makes the installation and dismounting of protective sleeve 2 more simple, and it is convenient to maintain.

[0031] Protective sleeve 2 is equipped with grouting hole 22 and outlet hole 23, and epoxy adhesive is grouted in protective sleeve 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the epoxy adhesive uses an epoxy resin adhesive. Epoxy resin materials have high bonding strength and good stability, which improves the sealing and integrity of the anchoring device. This effectively prevents seawater from entering the conical protective cover and corroding the first and second armored steel wire layers 61, 62, thereby improving the durability of the submarine cable. The application of glue further secures the first and second armored steel wire layers 61, 62 to the armor structure, improving the anchoring performance of the submarine cable.

[0033] Use pressure injection to first seal the other through holes of the protective cover 2 and confirm that there is no air leakage. Connect the grouting machine to the grouting hole 22 and grout from bottom to top until slurry appears in the slurry outlet 23, then stop pressurizing and seal the through hole.

[0034] The armor structure includes a first flange 31 and a second flange 32. The second flange 32 is sleeved in the first flange 31. A first armor steel wire layer 61 is provided between the first flange 31 and the second flange 32. A second armor steel wire layer 62 is provided close to the inner wall of the second flange 32. The upper parts of the first armor steel wire layer 61 and the second armor steel wire layer 62 are bent outward.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The submarine cable 6 shown has its outer sheath stripped off after passing through the first flange 31, exposing the armored steel wire layer.

[0036] The main bodies of the first flange 31 and the second flange 32 are both truncated cone-shaped.

[0037] The use of the truncated cone-shaped first flange 31 and the second flange 32 instead of the metal pressure plate to anchor the armor wire makes the structure easy to install and repair. The truncated cone shape can increase the contact area between the first armor wire layer 61 and the second armor wire layer 62.

[0038] A first connecting platform 311 is provided at one end of the first flange 31 facing the connecting flange 4. The diameter of the first connecting platform 311 is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The first flange 31 is connected to the connecting flange 4 via the first connecting platform 311 and bolts.

[0039] The first flange 31 and the second flange 32 are respectively provided with a second connecting platform 312 and a third connecting platform 322 at one end away from the connecting flange 4 . The first flange 31 and the second flange 32 are bolted to the grouting cover plate 1 via the second connecting platform 312 and the third connecting platform 322 .

[0040] The inner walls of the first flange 31 and the second flange 32 are provided with threads to increase the friction between the first flange 31, the second flange 32 and the first armored steel wire layer 61, the second armored steel wire layer 62, which helps to improve the anchoring performance of the submarine cable.

[0041] The cross section of the connecting flange 4 is in an I-shape. The upper portion of the connecting flange 4 is connected to the protective sleeve 2 via bolts, and the lower portion of the connecting flange 4 is connected to the anti-bending pipe 5 via bolts.

[0042] During installation, a hydraulic cylinder is used to tighten the first flange 31 and the second flange 32, respectively pressing the first armored steel wire layer 61 and the second armored steel wire layer 62 to generate sufficient pressure, and the grouting cover plate 1, the first flange 31, and the second flange 32 are connected and fixed by pre-tightening bolts to generate sufficient pre-tightening force.

[0043] The anti-bending pipe 5 is a three-section anti-bending pipe. The section with the largest diameter is close to the connecting flange 4, and the end with the smallest diameter is far away from the connecting flange 4. The diameter of the middle part of the anti-bending pipe 5 gradually changes from large to small.

[0044] In this embodiment, the anti-bending tube 5 is made of polyurethane material, which has good tensile strength and wear resistance. It increases the cross-sectional bending stiffness at the fixed end of the submarine cable with a larger bend, thereby avoiding damage due to excessive bending.
