Description

Large-angle pitching cable laying portal hoisting process

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of cable laying ships, in particular to a large-angle pitching cable laying portal hoisting and releasing process.

Background

Submarine cabling engineering is recognized by countries around the world as the most complex and difficult large-scale engineering. One of the difficulties is how to safely and effectively hoist, retract, lay, dig a trench and other equipment devices in the cable laying operation process. At present, the most effective lifting device is a portal crane, and the maximum pitching angle of most portal cranes can only reach about 90 degrees, so that the lifted object is higher from the sea surface and is closer to the ship board when being retracted, and in addition, the lifted object can be unstable due to shaking of the ship caused by factors such as stormy waves and the like in offshore operation, the lifted object cannot be retracted safely and effectively, and even the damage of equipment and the occurrence of safety accidents can be caused. At present, key technologies of a gantry crane retraction system are still monopolized abroad.

Therefore, a need exists for a high angle pitch cable laying gantry lifting process that addresses the above issues, in view of the high angle amplitude of the cable laying gantry and the need for cable laying at the seafloor.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides a large-angle pitching cable laying portal hoisting process, which comprises the following steps:

step one, preparation for lifting

The door type crane and the hung object are in place on the cable laying ship, the portal is tilted inward by 55 degrees, the towing steel cable passes through the balance wheel to be connected with two steel cables downwards, and the two steel cables pass through the mouth-shaped limiting structure at the lower end of the anti-sway frame and are connected with two hanging points of the hung object to form a triangle; the hoisted object rises along with the steel cable until the steel cable is clamped to the position of the mouth-shaped limiting structure;

the gantry crane comprises a portal, a beam of the portal is provided with a travelling wheel driven by a driving mechanism in a reciprocating and transverse mode, and the travelling wheel is provided with an anti-shaking frame; an amplitude variable oil cylinder for pushing the portal to rotate is arranged on the outer side of the upright post of the portal;

step two, the hung object is sent to the seabed

Step 2.1, the amplitude variation oil cylinder controls the portal frame to move towards the outboard direction, and the anti-shake frame is combined with the dragging steel cable to retract and release under the action of the adjusting oil cylinder and cooperatively controls the steel cable to be clamped at the position of the mouth-shaped limiting structure all the time; the steel cable is towed to lower the suspended object to reach the designated position on the sea floor, the steel cable allowance is put, then the portal frame is rotated to the 75-degree position in the side, and the towing operation is started;

step three, recovering the suspended object

When the hoisted object is retracted, the cable laying ship drives to the upper part of the hoisted object, the portal frame rotates to the outboard 75 degrees, the hoisted object is hoisted by towing cables to be retracted to the position of the mouth-shaped limiting structure of the steel cable clamp to the anti-shaking frame, the anti-shaking frame is retracted under the action of the adjusting oil cylinder, the portal frame moves to the 55-degree position in the side, and the hoisted object is hoisted by towing the steel cable to the deck.

Further, step 2.1 further includes that when the portal frame reaches 75 degrees of the outboard, the anti-shaking frame is unfolded and lowered to the maximum position under the action of the adjusting oil cylinder, and at the moment, the suspended object enters water.

Further, the two amplitude changing oil cylinders control the portal to rotate and have dead point positions, and the front, rear, upper and lower positions of the twisting points of the amplitude changing oil cylinders on the base at the bottom of the upright post are different, so that the dead point positions of the two amplitude changing oil cylinders are staggered;

when the portal moves to the dead point position of the luffing cylinder on one side, the luffing cylinder on the other side is independently controlled to move; when the amplitude variation oil cylinder on the other side reaches the dead point position, the amplitude variation oil cylinder on the previous side passes through the dead point position and continues to move.

Further, the second step further comprises a step 2.2, and during towing operation, the portal frame is at an inboard limit position, so that acting force of the towing cable on the cruise ship is reduced.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the luffing cylinders on the two sides of the upright post of the portal control the portal to do pitching motion around the bottom twisting point, so that the height of the suspended object from the sea surface and the distance from the ship board are reduced during suspending and releasing; the centre of gravity of the gantry is lowered during towing operation, and the acting force given by the cable when passing through the gantry beam is reduced; meanwhile, the overall manufacturing cost is reduced, the cable laying ship is suitable for cable laying equipment and other heavy equipment devices, and the maximum pitching angle can reach 150 degrees.
