Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the efficiency of an underwater pump and make an easy digging of the bottom of the sea by providing an equipment with a discharge pipe for digging located along the periphery of the underwater pump and a digging supporting section mounted on a pump mounting section. SOLUTION: When burying a submarine cable, if a burying machine 1 is located with a submarine cable 20 which is preliminarily laid on the bottom of the sea in line with guide rollers 13, 16 of the burying machine 1, the sea water enters inside through holes formed in a side plate of a travelling roller 11 and thereby an underpump 3 and a back pressure adjustment pump 6 get started. Then, the sea water is sucked through strainers 3a, 6a and is sent as digging water to a digging water discharge pipe 5 and a back pressure adjustment pipe 7 and then is jet out through a digging water discharging section 17. The digging water jet out through the digging water discharging section 17 makes a groove in the bottom of the sea and the submarine cable 20 is guided by the guide rollers 13, 16 to be put in the groove and a flat plate 8 of the burying machine 1 abuts against the bottom of the sea. By this method, a pressure loss can be reduced at the time of transmission of water and thereby the efficiency of the underwater pump can be increased and the bottom of the sea can be easily dug.

As described above, since the burying machine for submarine cables and the like according to the first embodiment is constructed, seawater is sucked from the strainer by the submersible pump and the back pressure adjusting pump, and excavation is performed from the excavation water discharge portion of the excavation discharge pipe. It has the function of excavating the seabed by injecting water and burying the seabed cable guided by the guide rollers in the seabed. By pulling a buried machine such as a submarine cable with a cable or other laying ship via a tow rope, the running roller rotates,
The burying machine such as the submarine cable moves, and the submarine cable can be buried in a predetermined place, and an obstacle such as a rock on the seabed can be overcome by a traveling roller. This has the effect of preventing the running of the buried machine from stopping. In addition, since the horizontal plate moves along the seabed, it has an effect of preventing the burying machine of the submarine cable and the like from sinking into a sludge on the seabed. Even if high-pressure water is discharged from the apparatus, it is possible to prevent the buried machine such as the submarine cable from being lifted up by the recoil thereof. When a burial machine such as a submarine cable is lowered to the seabed, seawater flows in from the holes in the side plates of the traveling rollers and the weight of the traveling rollers increases, and the buoyancy of the burying machine for the submarine cables and the like occurs during excavation of the seabed. The reaction force of the excavation water jetting force can be suppressed, and when the buried machine such as the submarine cable is lifted to the sea, the seawater in the traveling roller is discharged from the hole of the side plate portion and the weight of the traveling roller is reduced. Is reduced, and the sheet is easily transported. Further, there is an effect that a burying machine such as the submarine cable can be installed on the seabed simply by submerging the submarine cable from above the submarine cable to be buried along the guide roller.
