Definitions

  • Remotely operated vehicles for sub-sea use in, for example, gas and oil field maintenance, may be deployed using a tether management system (TMS) .
  • TMS tether management system
  • an ROV is deployed inside or under a garage or frame which includes a store of tether or umbilical cord and means for feeding out and retracting the tether or umbilical cord.
  • the garage or frame includes a drum of tether or umbilical cord for the ROV which is deployed from the TMS frame when this is lowered to the appropriate working depth.
  • the garage , r frame is connected to a vessel from which it is deployed or lowered.
  • the present invention in a first aspect provides a system as defined in claim 1 to which reference should now be made .
  • a tether management system typically includes an alignment surface against which the line is pressed and thereby aligned. It is known to provide pressure rollers above the alignment surface which press on the line to force it against the surface.
  • a swivelling or pivoting fairlead 6 is pivotably mounted on a bearing 11 situated on the TMS frame 12 directly above the ROV docking latch and tether exit hole 8.
  • the bearing 11 is hollow and allows the fairlead 6 to pivot about a vertical axis passing through the tether exit hole 8.
  • Tether 4 passes between the level wind mechanism 13 and the fairlead 6.
  • the tether 4 enters the swivelling fairlead 6 from the level wind mechanism 13 via a series of rollers 18.
  • the tether then leaves the rollers 18 and passes over a sheave wheel 19 before dropping vertically into the exit hole 8.
  • the fairlead 6 and level wind mechanism 13 are coupled (see figure 6 - coupling not shown in figures 4 and 5) so that the fairlead 6 pivots as the level wind mechanism 13 moves parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum 7.
  • One extension arm 24 has an end fixed to the fairlead 6 via the respective plate 23 and the other end running in a slot 26 in the level wind plate 23 so that it can move freely in the vertical direction.
  • the other extension arm 25 crosses over the first arm 24 and is coupled thereto by a pivot 28.
  • the second extension arm 25 has one end fixed to the level wind 13 via the respective plate 23 and the other end running in a slot 27 in the fairlead plate 23 so that it can move freely in the vertical direction.
  • the tether 4 is held in firm contact with the sheave wheel 19 by a roller chain 29.
  • the roller chain 29 comprises a number of rollers 30.
  • Each roller 30 is shaped to the same profile as the tether and is linked to its neighbour by a flat link 31.
  • the drum 7 When line is being spooled onto the drum 7, the drum 7 pulls line 4. Simultaneously, the drum 7 drives the level wind 13 via the chain and sprocket mechanism linking the drum 7 and the level wind 13.
  • the screws 32 used to anchor the roller chain 29 may have springs incorporated.
