Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable technology, specifically relating to a support component for a submarine cable mobile cable pulling machine that can be quickly disassembled and assembled. Background Technology
[0002] Submarine cable pulling machines are essential equipment for submarine cable operations. They are primarily used for transferring cables between cable hulls, between the vessel and other vessels, and between the vessel and the dock. Power is typically supplied by a power unit, transmitted via a transmission system to the traction unit. The traction unit clamps the submarine cable using a clamping mechanism and then pulls the cable forward at a set speed and tension. Tracked cable pulling machines, for example, use the rotation of tracks to clamp and pull the cable; the tightening and loosening of the tracks are controlled by cylinders.
[0003] Specifically, during the traction operation of submarine cables using a mobile cable pulling machine, the cable at the equipment's outlet end lacks stable guiding constraints, leaving it in a free state without a fixed direction. This arbitrary orientation design makes the cable highly susceptible to lateral swaying, angular deviation, or even local torsion due to external water flow impacts, uneven weight distribution, or fluctuations in pulling force. Operators must frequently pause operations to adjust the cable's posture, making continuous and efficient directional traction difficult. Repeated starts and stops also significantly reduce the traction speed, severely impacting construction progress. Furthermore, it increases the risk of damage to the cable's outer sheath due to friction and bending, posing a potential threat to the safety and stability of subsequent submarine laying.

Then the submarine cable passes through the upper and lower support cylinders for supported directional transmission, which improves the transmission effect and delivery quality of the submarine cable.

[0024] Preferably, the support side plate 4 forms a fitting structure with the mating groove 31 on one side of the mounting base 3 via the mating plate 7. In actual use, the mating plate 7 at one end of the support side plate 4 is fitted and mated with the mating groove 31 on one side of the mounting base 3, which facilitates the quick assembly of the support side plate 4.
[0025] Preferably, one end of the linkage spring 10 relative to the linkage plate 9 is connected to the inner wall of the top opening of the mounting base 3, and the linkage spring 10 and the linkage plate 9 form an elastic telescopic structure. In actual use, the elastic telescopic structure of the linkage spring 10 relative to the linkage plate 9 facilitates the positioning and movement of the locking plate 11.
[0026] Preferably, the mating plate 7 has a locking slot 12 on its surface near the locking insert 11. After passing through the mounting base 3, the locking insert 11 forms a fitting structure with the locking slots 12 at both ends of the mating plate 7. In actual use, by fitting the locking insert 11 into the locking slots 12 at both ends of the mating plate 7, it is convenient to assemble the support side plate 4 stably.
[0027] Preferably, a positioning plate 13 is connected to the side of the support side plate 4, and a lead screw 14 is threaded through the surface of the positioning plate 13. In actual use, rotating the lead screw 14 can improve the ease of operation.
