DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] An apparatus for underwater cable deployment in the form of a remotely operable cable laying system (ROCLS) frame generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 through 7.
Structure and Relationship of Parts:
Structure and Relationship of Parts:
[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, ROCLS frame 10 was developed for attachment to an underwater craft or remotely operated vehicle (ROV) 500 having manipulators 502, as illustrated in FIG. 7a through 7h. Referring to FIG, 1, ROCLS frame 10 supports a rotatable drum 12. A
-- protective housing 14 is detachably secured to drum 12. Protective housing Protective housing 14 is adapted to house and protect a remote end 16 of a cable 18 wound on drum 12. Referring to FIG. 2, remote end 16 of cable 18 has an associated coupling 20 required to couple cable 18 with another cable 18A. Referring to FIG. 1, as will be hereinafter further described in relation to three different embodiments, protective housing 14 is detachably secured to drum 12 with a -- fastening system, generally indicated by reference numeral 22, that can be manipulated by manipulators 502 of ROV 500 to secure the selective release of protective housing 14 from drum 12.
Protective Housing
-- protective housing 14 is detachably secured to drum 12. Protective housing Protective housing 14 is adapted to house and protect a remote end 16 of a cable 18 wound on drum 12. Referring to FIG. 2, remote end 16 of cable 18 has an associated coupling 20 required to couple cable 18 with another cable 18A. Referring to FIG. 1, as will be hereinafter further described in relation to three different embodiments, protective housing 14 is detachably secured to drum 12 with a -- fastening system, generally indicated by reference numeral 22, that can be manipulated by manipulators 502 of ROV 500 to secure the selective release of protective housing 14 from drum 12.
Protective Housing
[0017] The purpose of protective housing 14 is to contain and protect the inside end of a subsea cable's termination can, ROV underwater mateable connector, and interconnecting cables during cable deployment. They are protected from 'snagging', or damage (with this cable end and connector attached) during rotation of the drum throughout the unspooling of the cable.
Once the cable is laid across the seafloor the flange box with its content is removed subsea, allowing the end of the cable to become free from the main ROCLS system, and the underwater mateable connector to be plugged into a device. In this first embodiment illustrated in FIG 1 and FIG. 2, protective housing 14 may be termed a "flange box". However, as will become apparent with other embodiments, the term can become misleadings as protective housing need not be a "box" and need not be attached to a flange of the drum. Inside the flange box the termination can and the connector are connected via a pressure balance oil filled hose usually between 3meters and 10 meters in length. The termination can is secured to the face of the flange box either permanently using fasteners, or temporarily using a removable fastening device (ie cable ties).
The underwater mateable connector is always fastened to the flange box using a removable device, to allow the hose and connector to be removed and plugged in. The flange box also contains a section of the main cable connected to the termination can, routed through a slot in the side of the drum flange. This section of cable is also secure to the inside of the flange box, either permanently of temporarily.
Flange Box Mounting
Once the cable is laid across the seafloor the flange box with its content is removed subsea, allowing the end of the cable to become free from the main ROCLS system, and the underwater mateable connector to be plugged into a device. In this first embodiment illustrated in FIG 1 and FIG. 2, protective housing 14 may be termed a "flange box". However, as will become apparent with other embodiments, the term can become misleadings as protective housing need not be a "box" and need not be attached to a flange of the drum. Inside the flange box the termination can and the connector are connected via a pressure balance oil filled hose usually between 3meters and 10 meters in length. The termination can is secured to the face of the flange box either permanently using fasteners, or temporarily using a removable fastening device (ie cable ties).
The underwater mateable connector is always fastened to the flange box using a removable device, to allow the hose and connector to be removed and plugged in. The flange box also contains a section of the main cable connected to the termination can, routed through a slot in the side of the drum flange. This section of cable is also secure to the inside of the flange box, either permanently of temporarily.
Flange Box Mounting
[0018] The flange box 14 is a metal fabricated structure mounted to outside surface 26 one of the ROCLS drum flanges 24. The box 14 slides into place on drum flange 24 radially, mating with interlocking plates 25, and is secured to drum using 12 ROY removable pins 27. The main cable 18 is routed into flange box 14 via a slot 29 in drum flange 24 of drum 12. Cable 12 travels through the same slot 29 during removal of flange box 14 at the end of the cable lay.
Flange Box Removal
Flange Box Removal
[0019] After the cable is completely laid, the ROCLS drum 12 is positioned with the flange box 14 oriented at the bottom of drum 12, and landed on the ocean floor. The ROV 500 detaches from ROCLS frame 10 and is positioned facing the flange box side of the ROCLS
frame. The 5 ROV manipulators 502 are used to release pins 27 securing flange box 14 from the ROCLS
Flange 24. The ROV 500 reattaches to ROCLS frame 10 and lifts frame 10 off the ocean floor; at this point flange box 14 is no longer being secured to the drum flange 24, and the weight of flange box assembly 24 enables flange box 24 to slide out and rest on the ocean floor 504 free from the main ROCLS system.
frame. The 5 ROV manipulators 502 are used to release pins 27 securing flange box 14 from the ROCLS
Flange 24. The ROV 500 reattaches to ROCLS frame 10 and lifts frame 10 off the ocean floor; at this point flange box 14 is no longer being secured to the drum flange 24, and the weight of flange box assembly 24 enables flange box 24 to slide out and rest on the ocean floor 504 free from the main ROCLS system.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG 2, with a first embodiment 100 protective housing 14 mounts to an outside surface 26 of a flange 24 of drum 12 and is, therefore, referred to as an Outside Flange embodiment. Protective housing 14 ( flange box) is mounted to the outside surface 26 of flange 24, between flange 24 and ROCLS frame 10.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, with a second embodiment 200 protective housing 14 mounts to a drum core 30 of drum 12. Second embodiment 200 has been referred to as a Clamshell embodiment due to the manner in which it surrounds drum core 30. It is built up using a metal fabricated clam shell clamp design, changing the drum core diameter from 16" to approximately 30". The clam shell clamp has a 'false' drum flange that mates with a flange box on the inside of the drum, creating a continuous drum flange face for the cable to sit against. The benefits of this design over the original outside flange box design, is it allows the drum core diameter to be built up, reducing the bending stress on the cable around the drum core, and eliminate the need for the cable to be routed through a slot in the side of drum. The cable routed through the drum flange slot, has risks associated with the cable being hung up and potentially damaging the cable during fmal removal. The downside of this design is it reduces the overall cable length capacity of the ROCLS drum with the built up core.
[0022] Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, with a third embodiment 300 protective housing 14 is secured to an inside surface 34 of flange 24 of drum 12 and is, therefore, referred to as an Inside Flange embodiment. Inside flange box 14 is the same as the outside flange box but requires the original drum flange to be moved outwards. It is preferred that inside flange box 14 be positioned between strengthening gussets 36 on the inside surface 34 of drum flange 24. The benefits of this design over the other concepts, is it eliminates the cable being routed through the side of the drum flange and maintains the overall cable length capacity of the original ROCLS
drum.
