[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable layout, specifically to an underwater multi-cable stable suspension device. Background Technology
[0002] With the construction of modern cities, the demand for cables used in power, communication and other fields is gradually increasing. In order to transmit signals and power over long distances across the ocean, reduce interference from external factors (such as weather changes, human damage, etc.), and provide necessary power and communication support in the process of marine resource exploration and development, cables are usually laid underwater. With the continuous advancement of materials science and manufacturing technology, the performance of underwater cables is also constantly improving. The use of advanced waterproof materials and the enhancement of tensile strength and corrosion resistance of cables can further improve the reliability and service life of underwater cables. Therefore, underwater cables are widely used.
[0003] Although underwater cables have broad application prospects in many fields, it has been found in practical applications that cables are attacked by aquatic organisms underwater, leading to cable damage and reducing the stability of cables during long-term underwater use. Therefore, this application proposes an underwater multi-cable stabilization and suspension device. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0022] An underwater multi-cable stabilization and levitation device, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a cable tray 1 fixed underwater. Multiple clamps 2 are arranged side-by-side on the cable tray 1 for cable positioning and arrangement. Specifically, after the cable tray 1 is fixed underwater, the clamps 2 can be used to position and bind multiple cables side-by-side, achieving underwater cable arrangement. Lugs 16 are provided on both sides of the cable tray 1, and mounting holes 17 are provided on the lugs 16. Tools such as anchor rods are inserted through the mounting holes 17 on the lugs 16 into the underwater strata to fix the cable tray 1. One side of each clamp 2 is hinged to the cable tray 1, and the other side of each clamp 2 is fitted with a bolt 18 that is threaded into the cable tray 1, facilitating the positioning and arrangement of cables.
[0023] In a further embodiment, acoustic transmitters 3 are mounted at both ends of the cable tray 1, and a rope 4 is tied to the top of the cable tray 1. A floating plate 5 is tied to the other end of the rope 4. The floating plate 5 floats on the water surface. A storage battery 15 and a photovoltaic panel 6 are mounted on the top of the floating plate 5. A wire 7 connects the storage battery 15 and the acoustic transmitters 3. The floating plate 5 can be used to mark the location of underwater cables. The photovoltaic panel 6 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored by the storage battery 15. The storage battery 15 supplies power to the acoustic transmitters 3 at both ends of the cable tray 1 through the wire 7. The acoustic transmitters 3 emit sound waves that can drive away underwater organisms around the cables arranged on the cable tray 1, thus preventing underwater organisms from damaging the cables.
[0024] In this embodiment, a support arm 12 is radially fixed on the side wall of the floating plate 5. Multiple support arms 12 are arranged around the floating plate 5. A secondary plate 13 is horizontally arranged at the end of each support arm 12 away from the floating plate 5. A main airbag 8 is installed at the bottom of the floating plate 5, and a secondary airbag 14 is installed at the bottom of the secondary plate 13. The main airbag 8 and the secondary airbag 14 enable the floating plate 5 and the secondary plate 13 to float on the water surface. The arrangement of multiple secondary plates 13 expands the force-bearing range of the floating plate 5 and can prevent the floating plate 5 from tipping over.
[0025] In this embodiment, multiple support rods 9 are vertically fixed to the top of the floating plate 5, and a housing 11 is fixed to the top of the multiple support rods 9. The battery 15 is assembled inside the housing 11, and the photovoltaic panel 6 is assembled on the top of the housing 11. Thus, the photovoltaic panel 6 and the battery 15 are suspended in the air, which can prevent the battery 15 and the photovoltaic panel 6 from being damaged by prolonged contact or immersion in water. A conduit 10 is vertically arranged between the floating plate 5 and the housing 11, and a wire 7 passes through the floating plate 5, the conduit 10, and the housing 11 and is electrically connected to the battery 15.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the cable tray 1 is fixed underwater by means of tools such as anchor rods passing through the mounting holes 17 on the lugs 16. The cables are arranged side by side above the cable tray 1. Multiple clamps 2 can be used to position and bind multiple cables side by side, realizing the underwater arrangement of the cables. The buoyancy of the main airbag 8 and multiple auxiliary airbags 14 makes the float plate 5 and multiple auxiliary plates 13 float on the water surface, which can be used to mark the position of the underwater cables. In addition, the photovoltaic panel 6 mounted on the top of the float plate 5 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored by the battery 15. The battery 15 supplies power to the sound wave transmitters 3 at both ends of the cable tray 1 through the wires 7. The sound wave transmitters 3 emit sound waves, which can drive away underwater organisms around the cables arranged on the cable tray 1, preventing underwater organisms from damaging the cables and ensuring that the cables can be arranged stably and safely underwater.
