Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of military cable brackets, and in particular relates to a double-hole submarine cable vibration damping bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Existing submarine cables are typically installed by first welding or bolting cable trays high up on the wall, then laying the submarine cables on top of the trays. This installation structure is often inconvenient during actual cable construction and maintenance due to the high cable placement. Furthermore, existing cable trays are usually rectangular to ensure cable safety, requiring cables to pass through them for installation. This also makes later maintenance and cable additions difficult. Additionally, existing cables are generally directly mounted to the cable trays with steel clamps, offering poor vibration damping. This installation structure can also shorten the service life of the submarine in rough conditions. Moreover, existing submarine cables are susceptible to significant impacts and vibrations during submarine operation. Prolonged vibration can cause the cables to detach or loosen at the interfaces with electrical equipment, leading to poor contact and potential safety accidents. Additionally, most vibration-resistant cable trays are only suitable for cable laying; they cannot be used to secure cable conduits and therefore cannot provide vibration damping. Finally, submarines have very strict requirements for vibration and noise control. Vibration waves from submarine cables transmitted to the bulkheads can negatively impact the submarine's acoustic performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a double-hole submarine cable vibration damping bracket that is simple in structure, easy to install, easy to adjust the vibration damping parameters, realizes simultaneous vibration damping of multiple cables, has overload protection function, and can simultaneously meet the vibration damping requirements of the cable in two directions in the vertical plane and the cable axial direction.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A dual-hole submarine cable vibration damping bracket includes an outer frame, a rubber body, and a base plate. The rubber body includes a first central ring and a second central ring. The lateral distance between the geometric centers of the first and second central rings is greater than the sum of their radii. A transition support rib is fixedly provided between the first and second central rings. Support feet are provided on the outer walls of the first and second central rings. The base plate is connected to the bottom of the outer frame. The rubber body is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame and the base plate through the support feet and the transition support rib.
[0006] Furthermore, this utility model also includes welding feet; a folded edge is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer frame; the outer frame is detachably connected to the base plate and welding feet through the folded edge.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer frame of this utility model adopts a flanged structure; the end of the support foot and the end of the transition support rib are fixedly placed inside the flange of the outer frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper parts of the first central ring and the second central ring in the rubber body of this utility model are respectively provided with slits.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer frame of this utility model is connected to the base plate and weld feet by bolts through folded edges.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention has eight support feet, which are evenly distributed on the outer walls of the first central ring and the second central ring.
[0011] To evade sonar detection, submarines have extremely stringent requirements for vibration and noise control. Current research indicates that the vibration of submarine cables is also significant, as this vibration is transmitted to the bulkheads and affects the submarine's acoustic performance. This invention features a simple structure, easy installation, and readily adjustable vibration reduction parameters, simultaneously meeting the vibration reduction requirements in both the vertical and axial directions of the cable.

[0022] See Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the double-hole submarine cable vibration damping bracket includes an outer frame 1, a rubber body 3, and a base plate 2. The rubber body 3 includes a first central ring and a second central ring. The lateral distance between the geometric centers of the first central ring and the second central ring is greater than the sum of the radii of the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302. A transition support rib is fixedly provided between the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302. Support feet 6 are provided on the outer walls of the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302. The base plate 2 is connected to the bottom of the outer frame 1. The rubber body 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 1 and the base plate 2 through the support feet 6 and the transition support rib 5. This utility model also includes a welding foot 4. A folded edge 101 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer frame 1. The outer frame 1 is detachably connected to the base plate 2 and the welding foot 4 through the folded edge 101. The outer frame 1 of this utility model adopts a flanged structure. The ends of the support feet and the ends of the transition support ribs are fixedly placed inside the flanged edge 102 of the outer frame 1. The rubber body 3 of this invention has slits on the upper parts of the first central ring and the second central ring. The outer frame 1 of this invention is connected to the base plate 2 and the welding feet 4 by bolts through the folded edge 101. There are 8 support feet 6, which are evenly distributed on the outer walls of the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302.
[0023] In practical use, the cables of this invention pass through the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302 in the rubber body 3, and are arranged in multiple ways along the cable axis to achieve vibration reduction. This structure can accommodate two cables. The rubber body 3 of this invention can well meet the requirements of vibration reduction stiffness and damping, and has good wrapping properties. It can not only provide vibration reduction in two directions in the vertical plane, but also meet the axial vibration reduction requirements of the cable through the preload provided by the interference fit between the rubber hole and the cable.
[0024] The outer frame 1 of this utility model adopts a flanged structure to ensure the stable position of the rubber body 3 in three directions and connects with the base plate 2 to jointly constrain the rubber. Simultaneously, the flanged structure has an overload protection function; when the cable bears a large load, it contacts the flange, preventing movement and avoiding damage to the rubber body 3 due to excessive deformation. The bottom flange 101 of the outer frame 1 is connected to the base plate 2 and welding feet 4 by bolts. The upper parts of the first central ring 301 and the second central ring 302 in the rubber body 3 of this utility model are respectively provided with cutouts 7 for placing cables, thus satisfying the bottom-to-top assembly sequence and facilitating installation. The configuration of the rubber body 3 is used to meet the vibration damping stiffness requirements. Different configurations can meet the vibration damping requirements of cables of different masses. Furthermore, with the help of finite element optimization, its configuration can be optimized for easy implementation. The entire utility model is welded to the bottom plane via welding feet 4, making installation convenient and the overall structure relatively stable. This utility model occupies little space, which is important given the strict space requirements of its installation environment; therefore, this structure satisfies the vibration damping function of cables in a submarine within a confined space. This utility model has an overload protection function. When the cable is subjected to a large inertial force, it prevents further displacement and avoids damage to the rubber due to excessive compression. See also Figures 4-6 Under a rated load of 40N, the deformations of test pieces I, II, and III were 1.825mm, 1.937mm, and 1.978mm, respectively, which meet the requirement of 2±0.2mm.
