(Conventional technology) When a submarine cable after being laid has a breakdown such as insulation breakdown or oil leakage due to damage caused by an anchor, etc., the defective part due to the breakdown is usually cut off and removed, and the cable is replaced with an Interrupt and connect to repair. In this case, it goes without saying that the connection work is carried out on the work boat, but it is desirable that the defective portions are also cut and removed on the work boat. but,
In general, submarine OF cables (hereinafter simply referred to as cables) are heavy, and it may be difficult to pull a connected faulty cable onto a work boat without forcing it. Even if it can be lifted up, there is a risk of damaging good parts other than the failure point, so if diving work is possible, the so-called underwater cutting method may have to be used, which may be advantageous. This involves placing a diver near the failure point to discover the failure point, and cutting the cable underwater at the failure point. In this repair method, both cut ends are hoisted onto a work boat, the submerged part of the cable is cut and removed, and a cut-in cable is inserted and connected.

In general, repair work on submarine cables takes a long time, often lasting several days depending on the weather and wave conditions, and it is difficult to work on both cut ends at the same time. It is customary to submerge the cut cable underwater until the connection work is carried out. However, when the cable is cut underwater, the oil in the cable leaks out as well as the seawater seeps into the cable from the cut end.
If the cable is left in the sea for a long time, flooding and oil leakage will progress further, so to prevent this, normally both cut ends of the cable cut underwater are hoisted onto a work boat and the cut end is closed with a lead cap, etc. After sealing, the method is to submerge it in the sea until connection work begins. In order to carry out the connection work, the cut ends of each cable are pulled up again onto the work boat, the flooded parts are cut and removed, and the cut-in cables are split and connected. These operations are generally performed on both cut ends one at a time, rather than at the same time.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Even if the cable is cut underwater and the cut end is sealed on a work boat as described above, oil spills and water floods into the cable between the time of cutting and the time before the cable is salvaged.
Therefore, prior to the work of connecting the interrupt cable, it is necessary to cut and remove the submerged part of the cable that has been lifted onto the work boat.Although it varies depending on the cable size, water depth, etc., it is necessary to cut off the submerged part. The distance from each cutting terminal may be 50 m, and in some cases up to 100 m. These cut and removed parts will be disposed of, resulting in a large amount of waste, and the length of the interrupt cable will also increase accordingly, resulting in large costs.

In addition, in order to reduce the amount of water intrusion when cutting the cable underwater and shorten the length of the water immersion, an attempt was made to mechanically crush both sides of the cutting point before underwater cutting, but the cable was not sufficiently crushed underwater. There was no suitable equipment.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the oil passage in the cable is cut by crushing both sides of the planned underwater cutting point of the cable in advance. Crush the cable as much as possible to stop the oil, and to ensure completeness, prepare a lead cap soaked in oil in a plastic bag filled with insulating oil. This method involves covering the cable cut with a plastic bag and immediately placing a lead cap inside the plastic bag over the cut port to seal the cable cut. With this method, oil leaks when the cable is cut, but the cut end is sealed in a short time, so there is less oil leakage, less water intrusion, and a shorter length of water inundation.In addition, the cable can be hoisted onto the work boat to seal the cut end as in the conventional method. It is no longer necessary, and the work is greatly shortened.

In addition, in order to crush the above-mentioned cable underwater, a hydraulic jack is attached to the rectangular metal frame, one side of the frame is made removable so that the cable can be attached to the crushing device, and the cable is attached and crushed using hydraulic pressure from above and below. To provide a cable crushing device that is easy to operate underwater.

In Figure 1, 1 indicates the sea surface, 2 indicates the seabed,
3 is a steel wire-clad submarine OF cable laid on the ocean floor. A indicates the failure point of cable 3, and in order to collect the failure part as investigation materials or evidence at a later date, cut B near the L1 part by taking the length of L1 centered on failure point A as the material. This is the planned point. L 2 including planned cutting point B in Figure 1
The parts are shown in Figure 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the exterior juute sheath 20, iron wire sheath 21, and juute seat floor 22 were cut around the planned cutting point B, and a cable crushing device to be described later equipped with a 3-ton hydraulic jack was installed on the seabed. After crushing the cable from above the cable sheath 23 at three crushing positions 24 on each side of the planned cutting point B, the cable A is cut underwater using a hacksaw at point B, and immediately after cutting, the cable is cut at the cut point. Insert it into a plastic bag 30 that has been prepared in advance and is filled with insulating oil 31 shown in FIG. A lead cap 32 was attached to the cut end of the cable in insulating oil 31 and caulked from the outside to prevent oil from leaking and seawater from entering.

Next, when connecting the interrupt cable, the cut end of the cable was hoisted onto the work boat, the cable was cut approximately 30m from the cutting point, and a sample was taken for examination. As a result, water had not reached this part. Once this was confirmed, we connected it to the interrupt cable prepared in advance on the work boat using the conventional method. After performing this work on the other cut end, the cable 3 was sunk into the seabed.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the submarine OF cable fault repair method of the present invention, the cable is crushed using a cable crushing device on both sides of the planned underwater cut point of the cable, thereby preventing oil leakage and flooding to a considerable extent. Furthermore, since a lead cap, etc. soaked in insulating oil is placed over the cable cut port immediately after underwater cutting to seal it, the length of water in the cable can be shortened, and the length of the cable to be cut and discarded can be reduced. The length of the cut-in cable can be shortened and the length of the cut-in cable can be shortened, so there is less waste and material can be saved significantly. Since there is no need to submerge the cut end in the sea, the work time is significantly reduced. Reducing work time is particularly important when repairing problems at sea, so this repair method is highly effective.

In addition, conventionally there was no suitable device or tool for crushing cables, but the cable crushing device of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to carry, is easy to handle underwater, and can easily crush cables. By using this device, the cable immersion length can be further reduced.
