Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of submarine cable laying equipment, in particular to a trencher for laying submarine cables in intertidal zones.
Background
The submarine cable laying process comprises a submarine middle section laying process and a landing section laying process, wherein the water depth of a shoal in the land area direction is gradually reduced in the landing section laying process, and the shoal is subjected to an intertidal zone before the cable is completely landed, wherein the intertidal zone is a shoal zone between a high tide line and a low tide line, the zone is sea at a high tide level, is land at a low tide level, has complex geological conditions, and common land equipment and large-scale laying ships cannot enter the area for construction.
During large tides, the current laying technology is that a laying ship reaches the nearest landing point on the offshore, and under the combined traction action of a cable laying machine and a stranding machine, the rest sea cable starts to draw and land in the direction of a fixed landing platform by means of a tire floating support. And then the sea cable is shifted from the fixed landing platform to a sea cable groove dug by the floating type amphibious excavator in advance, and backfilling and burying of the sea cable are carried out by adopting a mode of combining the amphibious excavator with manpower.
The existing intertidal submarine cable laying technology is affected by the influence of intertidal hydrological weather on construction, has a construction window period, is short in effective operation time, and is easy to flush and fill a trench by tidal water when an amphibious excavator is adopted for pre-ditching, so that the construction efficiency is low. The floating type amphibious excavator is combined with manpower in the construction process of the buried facilities, so that the automation degree is low, and construction errors are easy to cause.
