Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method with devices for buoyancy-assisted laying of cables to enable the laying of extremely long cable sections or other linear payloads and media pipes in a multifunctional empty pipe transport pipe system.
- the method and the devices advantageously provide a system for assembling, laying and / or dismantling cables or other linear payloads.
- connection points joint locations between the individual cables laid, which have to be labor-intensive with expensive and, according to the state of the art, still failure-prone connection sleeves (joint fittings) so that the electricity can be supplied later can flow without interruption.
- connection sleeves With an economic point of view, and for safety reasons, it is therefore particularly desirable if the total number of connection sleeves, with which individual cables are connected, can be kept as low as possible, since such failure-prone connection sleeves thus always represent permanent weak points in the power transmission system, avoiding or the reduction in numbers is desirable and consequently the number of expensive construction sites and construction roads for heavy goods vehicles for the transport and for the laying of cables can be kept as low as possible.
- conduits e.g. B. by lubricants or by special surface design of the conduits (e.g. corrugated conduits), which are intended to reduce the friction between the cable and conduit when pulling in, but which, for example, are not very suitable or length-limiting for pulling in heavy cables over longer pull-in lengths.
- An implementation concept such as is required for the expansion of the transfer network in floch voltage direct current transmission technology (FIGÜ), should be flexible, sustainable - meaning reversible, environmentally friendly and, moreover, subject to low financial risks.
- High point head station including the units according to the invention and devices for hydrodynamic drag force generation according to the descriptions for FIGS. 2a and 2b.
- Method step c1) providing a role system for the
- Method step c2) Production of the payload transport pipe string, if necessary. also its extension to produce empty pipe sections LLX of any length in accordance with the descriptions relating to FIGS. 7b, 7c, 7d and 7e
- staggered relocation of the sections according to method step e according to the invention essentially only the repeated provision of the low point head station by offsetting it into the area LLM of the previous through station according to the descriptions for FIGS. 8c, 8 and 9 is required.
- the method and the devices advantageously provide a system for assembling, laying and / or dismantling cables or other linear payloads.
- the present invention is based in particular on the knowledge that the use of the physical effect of lift (A) can be supplemented by a hydrodynamic drag force effective in the empty pipe.
- the solution according to the invention thus goes beyond the prior art, in particular according to DE 10 2013 102 631 B4.
- a hydromechanically generated towing power support (8) experience during the laying process, which, acting on the total outer surface (pipe circumference x pipe length) of the payload transport pipe string (2), over the entire Retraction length (LL) remains in effect until the target position is reached in the empty pipe system (1).
- a payload transport pipe length maximization as shown in Fig. 7e is conceivable and possible, which is characterized in that individual cable lengths (LK) (transport lengths) on site with factory socket or splicing technology, as used to create virtually endless submarine cables Is used, connected and the assembly process takes place accordingly step by step, in particular without having to change the target shaft position (4d).
- the feed system (Fig. 7a) and the insertion shaft (4a) can advantageously continue to be used without changing position and thereby costs for dismantling and rebuilding the feed system (12) and costs for moving the entire flochpoint head station (4a) including the Devices (6), (6a) and (6b) according to the invention can be saved.
- the main advantage of this embodiment according to the invention, in particular of the method according to claim 10, is that failure-prone sleeves and a corresponding number of sleeve locations and structures can be saved and at the same time more security for power transmission can be promised.
- the diameter of the transport tube (d2), and thus the effective buoyancy (A) is primarily due to the respective weight (G) of the payload transport tube -String (2) and the density of the buoyancy and transport medium (7) used (mounting medium), the inner diameter (d1) of the empty pipe fulfilling the requirement that the total cross-section of the payload transport pipe string (2) is within the empty pipe (1 a) during the introduction process in a water-filled annulus remains freely movable over the entire intake length and at the same time the pump-driven buoyancy and transport medium (7) with its hydrodynamic drag force (8) can drive the payload transport pipe string (2) in the target direction.
- the empty pipes (1) to be laid according to process step a are preferably designed as pressure pipes, on the one hand to absorb the static pressure of the buoyancy and transport medium (7) in geodetic low points of the empty pipe course and on the other hand to absorb the additional hydraulic internal pressure in the pipe that is associated with the Provision of the hydrodynamic drag force (8) according to the invention is associated.
- the kinetic energy of the buoyancy and transport medium (7) in the annular space is generated by means of at least one feed pump, preferably a high-point pump (13a) as described in relation to FIGS. 2a and 2b, which generates the required volume flow in the direction of the target position (4d) and opposite the static pressure in the high-point gravity shaft (4a), an additional hydraulic internal pressure in the pipe and thus a pressure gradient in the empty pipe (1a) that is effective as a drag force.
- a feed pump preferably a high-point pump (13a) as described in relation to FIGS. 2a and 2b
- the pressure gradient between the pump pressure nozzle (7a) and the empty pipe section (truck) that is effective for the towing force up to the pulling head of the payload transport line (2) generates a hydromechanical drag force (8) on the outer surface of the payload transport tube, the size of which depends on the pressure gradient, the mass flow in the annulus and depends in particular on the effective pipe surface, i.e. the pipe circumference times the pipe length in the empty pipe (Pi x d2 x truck) of the payload transport pipe string (2).
- it is a turbulent annulus flow, which can act as a friction force on the entire pipe surface of the payload transport pipe string (2) in a particularly effective and energy-efficient manner if the surface of the payload transport pipe is particularly large.
- the surface of the payload transport tube is considerably larger than, for example, the surface of a cable -that is, that of the payload itself- and, since the payload transport strand (2) with the internal cable, is virtually weightless in the buoyancy and transport medium (7) (A minus G «zero), it can be pulled or pushed into the conduit (1a) like an elongated submarine by means of hydrodynamic towing force (8), free of tensile stress for the cable itself.
- feed pumps (13 a) and / or (13 b) and / or pressure increasing pumps can be installed at any point within the empty pipe section LL. , are used, in principle all in the system-integrated recirculation and pressure increasing pumps also bring about an increase in the hydrodynamic drag force (8) and at the same time the absolute pressure level can be reduced if several pumps are combined and / or staggered over the entire recirculation section of the empty pipe system (1) to generate the drag force, for example according to claim 7 to be ordered.
- interconnected hydromechanical boosters stations with corresponding pressure increasing pumps similar to (13a) and devices similar to (6) and (6a), shown in Fig. 3f, staggered over the total length LL of the empty pipe system (1), enable the pulling in of extremely long payload transport pipe strings (2), also through staggered hydromechanical drag force generation.
- this hydromechanical towing force (8) has a particularly advantageous effect in non-straight line sections, because there it acts as a pushing force, as it were, pushing outwards and thus the frictional forces induced by tensile forces on the inside of the arch between the empty pipe and the payload -Transport pipe, as shown in Fig. 1a, reduced in the area of an arc of curvature in the empty pipe course LL.
- the method according to the invention therefore also improves the possibilities of planning and realizing meandering routes, which has advantages in particular in the case of preferably tube-based cable laying, since with the method according to the invention, compared to other methods, long cables or payload transport pipe strings (2) are also included in such routes.
- the lowest possible tensile forces can be drawn in and laid without the remaining tensile forces acting on the cable (3) itself thanks to the completely tension-free storage in the transport tube (2).

- a pure continuous flow without recirculation is also advantageous if the buoyancy and transport medium (7) is sufficiently available in the sense of claim 1.
- the payload transport pipe string (2) 2 can also be moved back and forth during the insertion process, which indicates the reversibility of the method according to the invention, with which the dismantling of the cable transport pipe string (2) can also be achieved at any later point in time with the method steps and devices according to the invention.
- the pumps (13b) and (13a) are preferably surrounded to reverse the direction of flow of the buoyancy and transport medium (7).
- the total length LL of the empty pipe exceeds the length of the individual payload transport pipe string LK by a multiple, and in particular a staggered laying according to claim 9 takes place in subsections, advantageously according to a combination according to one or more of claims 1 to 5 of the present invention.
- a payload transport pipe string (2) in method step c2 is particularly useful when heavy high and extra-high voltage cables are to be laid in particularly long sections.

- the individual plastic transport pipe long sections (2b) can be joined together in different ways, either by means of a two-part welding mirror with a recess and thermally insulated and secured distance to the cable (pliers principle) or preferably using the electric welding process with integrated heating coils so that a Transport pipe string (payload transport pipe string (2a)) that completely envelops the cable is created, which is preferably closed tightly and with tensile strength at both ends with pulling heads (2a) after completion in preparation for the leak test.
- thermal insulation or by integrated Heating coils such as those used in the Simofuse process, prevent damage to the internal cable (3) from the welding process when the transport pipe sections are joined.
- the long transport pipe sections (2b) can also be joined in a tensile and watertight manner using electric welding sleeves, as is described in patent specification DE 10 2013 102 631.
- a hydromechanical towing force (8) is additionally transmitted via the buoyancy and transport medium (7) in the pull-in direction during the pull-in process (method step d2) to the outer jacket of the payload transport tube (2) and according to the invention and in particular at least one feed pump, preferably a high point pump (13a) - preferably supported by a low point pump (13b), in particular according to claim 4 and optionally additionally supported by hydromechanical booster stations, in particular according to claim 5, as well as sealing devices according to the invention for Press seal, such as Dichtu ngshunt (6) and overpressure circumferential seal (6a) as well as sealing devices (6b) for the retraction rope seal, in particular according to claim 2 and / or claim 3, shown in FIGS.

- this is preferably achieved by means of a shutter slide which, on the one hand, allows the maximum payload transport tube diameter (d2) to pass through at maximum opening and, on the other hand, can be closed to such an extent by manual or automated operation that the The remaining minimum opening cross-section corresponds approximately to the cross-section of the retraction rope (9b).
- a diaphragm slide (6b) has the advantage that the opening cross-section always remains centered and the retraction cable (9b) is also centered without it being pinched during the cross-sectional constriction.
- An additional low-point pump (13b) is preferably connected as a recirculation pump to the antechamber in the area of the low-point station, which in turn is able to generate a negative pressure in the empty intake pipe (1 a) and thus increase the hydrodynamic drag force (8) in the draw-in direction and on the Pump pressure side, the recirculation of the buoyancy and transport medium (7) in the direction of the insertion assembly shaft (4a) is ensured.
- the low point head station (4d) side recirculation pump (13b) is also for the reversal of the pulling-in process, so to speak for the pushing out of the payload transport pipe string (2) by means of hydrodynamic towing support, which is achieved by enclosing the pressure and suction side of the low-point pump (13b).

- the pulling force is generated by a pulling device (10) and transferred to the payload transport pipe string (2) via a mounting rope (9a).
- the method according to the invention with hydrodynamic drag force minimizes the required tensile force to a residual tensile force and ideally is superfluous in terms of process technology, as shown in FIG. 1b.
- a roller system consisting of support, guide and deflection rollers for the longitudinal distortion of cables (payload) a vertically effective guide elements (support rollers, guide rollers or deflection rollers) b horizontally effective guide elements (support rollers, guide rollers or deflection rollers) feed pump, recirculation pump, pressure booster pump a feed pump (13) in the function and arrangement as a high point pump (driver pump), with a suction-side connection to the antechamber 5b and a pressure-side connection to the antechamber 5a in the inlet duct (4a), according to the invention, during the process process d2, it drives a partial mass flow of the in the empty pipe system ( 1) located buoyancy and transport medium (7) through the annular space between the payload transport pipe string (2) and empty pipe (1a) in the direction of the target shaft (4d).
- the low point pump conveys the partial mass flow of the buoyancy and transport medium back to the inlet duct (4a), preferably through the empty pipe 1b, and is of particular importance when in the empty pipe 1b
- a payload transport pipe string (2) has already been laid and larger pressure losses in the annulus need to be compensated for.
- a high point pump (13a) would otherwise have to overcome the total friction losses at a higher system pressure level, which may be due to the limited pressure resistance of the empty pipes, which are preferably made of PE material Limitations in the delivery rate and thus to limitations in the generation of the hydrodynamic drag force could lead.
- a higher system pressure in the overpressure pre-chamber (5a) would also increase the pressure difference to the pressure level in the gravity well (4a) and thus the annular space seal (6a) would be more heavily loaded with the possible consequence of a functional restriction.
- Shut-off valve for the hydraulic separation of the pump suction side from the pump pressure side as a prerequisite for generating recirculation and pressure increase of the buoyancy and transport medium by means of a high point pump (13a) and low point pump (13b).
- Mounting flange pipe multifunctional mounting lock as low point closing device, preferably arranged within the low point head station (4d)
- Sealing device for pull rope (9a) designed as a clamping sleeve similar to 6c or as a material socket with tensioning element or as a sealing device - if necessary with connection of a secondary medium - as an exchangeable one
- the thickness of a foam packing (6a) in the sealing chamber (6) in the compressed state which generates a contact pressure with a sealing effect as long as the payload transport pipe string (2) is pulled or pushed through the foam packing (6a) of the sealing chamber (6).
- G Weight, weight force of the payload transport pipe string (2) e.g. specified in kg / m of the payload transport pipe string
- a statically effective force directed towards the center of the earth e.g. specified in kg / m of the payload transport pipe string
- a Buoyancy of the payload transport pipe string (2) a statically effective force that opposes the weight G in the flooded empty pipe system (1).
- the buoyancy is as great as the weight of the buoyancy and transport medium (7) which is displaced by the payload transport pipe string (2) (e.g. specified in kg / m of the payload transport pipe string) and ideally as a design buoyancy as large as the weight G of the payload transport pipe string (2), which can be flexibly dimensioned by choosing the diameter of the transport pipe, if the weight of the payload and the density of the buoyancy and transport medium, which is preferably tap or well water , are known.
- LLX Length of an empty pipe section (Lu, LL2, LL3 or LL4) which corresponds approximately to the length LK of a cable that can be transported on cable drums or the length of the payload transport pipe string (2), as in FIGS. 8, 8a, 8b, 8c (shortened length) shown schematically.
- Such an empty pipe section is provided with hydraulic end closures (HEV), similarly designed as described in DE 10 2015 101 076, from which the cable ends lead through and out after completion of the assigned laying process with the method according to the invention and after subtracting the assembly shafts (4a and 4d) in order to be connected in the area of the socket area (LLM) with so-called socket fittings in the subsequent processes that are not the subject of the laying method according to the invention.
- HEV hydraulic end closures
- the maximum length LL X of an empty pipe section is first and foremost limited by the maximum delivery length LKL of a cable that can be transported and provided on site by road vehicles, but not by the laying process itself, which, when using process steps a to e according to the invention, is characterized in particular by the Buoyancy-supported laying with hydrodynamic towing support, empty pipe sections of any length LLX permits.
- This advantage opens up the use of submarine cable connection technology, according to the state of the art using factory or factory sleeves, but instead of on Sea on cable-laying vessels, according to the invention for connecting land cables on site, when using the method according to the invention for the production of very long sleeve-free cable sections.
- the cable extension is preferably carried out in stages.
- both the respective end of the cable forerunner is connected to the beginning of the following cable, preferably with submarine cable technology (splicing technology) - in the area of the connecting section (3c) approximately the same diameter, and the corresponding transport pipe extension with transport pipe long sections (2b) such as shown and described in FIGS. 7c and 7e.
- LDL cable delivery length
- a low point head station (4d) and a transit station (4e) are set up in the socket areas of the assembly section in assembly processes b and e.
- the cable connection sleeves are later placed in these areas, but in a subsequent process to connect the individual cables to form an overall cable harness, which is not the subject of the laying method according to the invention.
- LK Length of the cable transport pipe for example in adaptation to the length of a cable LKL that can be supplied on cable drums
