Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cable laying, and more specifically, to a highly stable offshore cable laying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of offshore wind power, marine engineering projects such as offshore calcium carbide cables and oil tarpaulins, the deployment and retrieval of offshore cables are often considered key specialized equipment. These cables are widely used in offshore installations, and their application in marine infrastructure construction requires adaptation to various marine environments. In special marine conditions, such as wave and wind resistance, the cable's function is to stabilize the cable from the movement of the vessel, equipment, or platform itself. However, traditional offshore cable deployment systems often fail to guarantee sufficient stability in dynamic marine environments. The main challenges in cable deployment are the following aspects:

[0003] The marine environment poses challenges to China's power cable laying operations, including factors such as waves, tides, and other factors. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the stability and accuracy of the cable laying equipment and the installation of the cable laying devices to prevent such incidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a highly stable offshore cable laying device, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a highly stable offshore cable laying device, including a base, a rectangular frame at the upper end of the base, a mounting plate at the upper end of the rectangular frame, a motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate, a transmission rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a laying roller fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod, a stabilizing component on the outside of the rectangular frame, the stabilizing component including a fixed cylinder, a support rod slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder, a bearing plate hinged to the top of the support rod, a sliding groove at the upper end of the base, a connecting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame, a hydraulic chamber fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, and hydraulic rods A and B slidably connected inside the two ports of the hydraulic chamber.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting block is slidably connected inside the groove, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bearing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the slide groove is provided in two sets, and the two sets of slide grooves are distributed laterally and longitudinally.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the base is provided with an auxiliary fabric roll assembly, which includes a transmission wheel A. The transmission wheel A is fixedly connected to one end of a transmission rod. A transmission belt is wound around the outer wall of the transmission wheel A. A transmission wheel B is drivenly connected to the inner side of the other side of the transmission belt. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. A reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing block. A moving block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw. A limit groove is formed at the upper end of the moving block.

[0010] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the end of the reciprocating screw away from the fixed block, and the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel B.

[0011] The advantages of this application are:

[0012] (1) This application, by setting up stabilizing components, can effectively cope with waves or tilting in the marine environment and maintain the stability of the device. When the sea surface fluctuations cause the base to tilt, hydraulic rods A and B automatically adjust the tilt angle of the support plate to maintain the balance of the rectangular frame and ensure that the cable laying device is always in the correct working state. When the base tilts, the hydraulic system will automatically respond and adjust the support plate, avoiding manual intervention and improving automation and accuracy.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1, see Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a highly stable offshore cable laying device, including a base 1, a rectangular frame 2 at the upper end of the base 1, a mounting plate 3 at the upper end of the rectangular frame 2, a motor 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 3, a transmission rod 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, a laying roller 6 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod 5, a stabilizing component 7 on the outside of the rectangular frame 2, the stabilizing component 7 including a fixed cylinder 71, a support rod 72 slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 71, a bearing plate 73 hinged to the top of the support rod 72, a sliding groove 74 at the upper end of the base 1, a connecting block 76 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 2, a hydraulic chamber 77 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 74, and hydraulic rods A78 and B79 slidably connected inside the two ports of the hydraulic chamber 77.

[0028] The connecting block 76 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 74, and the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bearing plate 73.

[0029] The slide groove 74 has two sets, and the two sets of slide groove 74 are distributed laterally and longitudinally.

[0030] During use, since the cabling device is used at sea, the base 1 may sway during use. When the front and rear ends or left and right ends of the base 1 are tilted, the rectangular frame 2 will move to the tilted side. Then, the connecting block 76 at the bottom of the rectangular frame 2 will slide inside the slide groove 74. After the connecting block 76 moves a distance in the slide groove 74, the connecting block 76 will contact the hydraulic rod A78, which will then slide the hydraulic rod A78 into the hydraulic chamber 77. Then, the hydraulic rod B79 at the other end of the hydraulic chamber 77 will move outward, thereby lifting the upper support plate 73. When the support plate 73 on the tilted side moves upward, the support rod 72 on that side will lift the tilted side of the support plate 73 from the inside of the fixed cylinder 71 to the outside, which can counteract the tilt of the base 1 and the support plate 73 caused by the waves. When the components are in operation, the motor 4 is started to drive the transmission rod 5 to rotate, and then the laying roller 6 outside the transmission rod 5 rotates, thereby driving the cable roll outside the winding roller 6 to be wound up and unwound.

[0031] Example 2, see Figures 1-4 An auxiliary fabric roll assembly is provided at the upper end of the base 1. The auxiliary fabric roll assembly includes a transmission wheel A81, which is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 5. A transmission belt 83 is wound around the outer wall of the transmission wheel A81. A transmission wheel B84 is connected to the inner side of the other side of the transmission belt 83. A fixing block 85 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. A reciprocating screw 86 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 85. A moving block 87 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 86. A limit groove 88 is opened at the upper end of the moving block 87.

[0032] The bottom of the movable block 87 fits tightly against the surface of the base 1.

[0033] A telescopic rod 89 is fixedly connected to the end of the reciprocating screw 86 away from the fixed block 85, and the telescopic rod 89 is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel B84.

[0034] In use, when the transmission rod 5 rotates, it will drive the transmission wheel AA81 to rotate, which in turn will drive the transmission wheel B845 to rotate via the transmission belt 83. Since the bearing plate 73 and the rectangular frame 2 will move a short distance at the front and rear ends, the outer wall of the transmission wheel B45 is provided with a telescopic rod 89, which allows the transmission wheel B45 to move while driving the reciprocating screw 86 to rotate via the telescopic rod 89. As a result, the moving block 87 threaded to its outer wall will move back and forth accordingly, and at the same time, the cable will pass through the limiting groove 88 at the upper end of the moving block 87, thereby achieving uniform cable laying and winding.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
