TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of marine cable testing device, specifically is a kind of marine cable lateral pressure testing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The lateral pressure strength of marine cable is an important parameter of marine cable laying, which is related to the maximum depth of marine cable laying and the damage resistance. The traditional marine cable lateral pressure testing device is tested by relative bidirectional extrusion. This testing method is relatively simple, but it ignores the deformation factor of the extrusion process of the marine cable. In the two directions perpendicular to the extrusion direction, deformation is easy to occur, which can share the extrusion effect. Therefore, when testing the limit value of the lateral pressure of the marine cable, the lateral force test data will be greater than the actual data, which will cause misjudgment of the use conditions of the marine cable. When the marine cable is laid in a high-pressure water environment, the wrong parameters of lateral pressure can easily put the marine cable in a high-pressure environment that cannot be safely used, which is not conducive to the long-term effective use of the marine cable, especially when the marine cable is an ultra-high voltage direct current marine cable, the safety factor of use is high. Slight deformation of the ultra-high voltage direct current marine cable can easily lead to severe use fluctuations, which can cause potential problems in the use of the ultra-high voltage direct current marine cable. SUMMARY
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a marine cable lateral pressure testing device that can more accurately test the lateral force capacity of the marine cable.
[0004] The utility model discloses the technical scheme adopted to solve the above problem is: a kind of marine cable lateral pressure testing device, including four for testing marine cable test pressure head and a for testing marine cable test station, four The test pressure head is respectively the upper test pressure head arranged in the upper of test station, the lower test pressure head arranged in the lower of test station, the left test pressure head arranged in the left of test station and the right test pressure head arranged in the right of test station, four test pressure heads are used to extrude the marine cable on test station in four radial directions to test the lateral pressure capacity of marine cable, lower test pressure head drive connection is established on pressure servo cylinder, left test pressure head or right test pressure head drive connection is established on pressure servo cylinder, upper test pressure head drive connection is established on test hydraulic cylinder, another test pressure head in left test pressure head and right test pressure head drive connection is established on test hydraulic cylinder.
[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Firstly, the design of evenly distributing four test pressure heads in four directions on the marine cable allows for comprehensive lateral compression, significantly reducing the cable's deformable space. This improves the accuracy of the lateral compression resistance test data. Furthermore, the test data obtained by comparing the pressure between the upper and lower test pressure heads with those obtained by comparing the pressure between the left and right test pressure heads yields more precise test data. Secondly, the design of connecting the lower test pressure head to a pressure servo cylinder, and the left or right test pressure head to the same cylinder, allows for adjustment of the test position to ensure the cable's centering after compression. The design, where the upper test head is driven and connected to the test hydraulic cylinder, and the other test head (left or right) is also driven and connected to the test hydraulic cylinder, allows for controllable pressure compression of the marine cable. During the compression process, due to the reciprocity of forces, when the upper and lower test heads are compressing each other, or when the left and right test heads are compressing each other, only one of them needs to apply compressive force, while the other only needs to remain stationary to generate a reaction force of the same magnitude in the opposite direction. This eliminates the need for all test heads to be driven and connected to the test hydraulic cylinder, simplifying the testing process and ensuring its stability. If all test heads are driven and connected to the test hydraulic cylinder, and the compressive force at one end is too small, it will cause the marine cable to shift, and the marine cable will lose its centering during the test.
[0006] As an improvement of this utility model, the extrusion end of the test head is provided with a V-groove. When the marine cable is tested, the marine cable is embedded in the V-groove on the corresponding side. Through this improvement, the V-groove can adjust the position of the marine cable when the test head extrudes the marine cable, ensuring the centering of the marine cable on the test head and making the test data more accurate.
[0007] As an improvement of this utility model, the angle of the V-groove is 120°. Through this improvement, the marine cable can be squeezed more stably and is not easy to shift or misalign.
[0008] As an improvement of this utility model, all four test heads are detachably connected to the servo motor or the test hydraulic cylinder, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the test heads.
[0009] As an improvement of this utility model, the width of the test indenter is reduced along the direction towards the marine cable. This improvement can prevent interference between two adjacent test indenters during the compression process.
[0010] As an improvement of this utility model, the reduction slope of the width of the test head includes various specifications, which facilitates adaptation to marine cables of different diameters.
[0011] As a kind of improvement of the utility model, one end of the test station is equipped with support frame for supporting marine cable, support roller is equipped on the support frame, and is distributed along the axial direction of marine cable, through the improvement, the support of marine cable is realized, ensure that marine cable is kept horizontally placed when testing, and the design of support roller is conducive to the movement of support frame of marine cable, facilitate the quick testing of marine cable.
[0012] As a kind of improvement of the utility model, the middle section of the support roller is equipped with V-shaped support groove, through the improvement, when marine cable moves on V-shaped support groove, marine cable will be automatically adjusted to the recess of V-shaped support groove, to ensure the centricity and stability of marine cable moving on support roller.
[0013] As a kind of improvement of the utility model, the other end of the test station is equipped with push servo cylinder, the push servo cylinder is used to test the friction of marine cable under the extrusion of test pressure head, through the improvement, in the case of testing the lateral pressure resistance of marine cable, the friction coefficient of marine cable under corresponding pressure can also be tested through the design of push servo cylinder, and the anti-seismic ability of marine cable laid on the ground can be calculated accordingly, that is, the stability of marine cable laid on the ground is ensured, and it is not easy to deviate randomly.
[0014] As a kind of improvement of the utility model, the driving end of the push servo cylinder is drivingly connected with a driving disc, and the end of the driving disc close to the test station is equipped with anti-drop hole, through the improvement, the end of marine cable is inserted into anti-drop hole, to avoid the deformation of marine cable from driving disc when pushing marine cable, so as to affect the accuracy of testing.
