    摘要: The present invention provides an improved pipeline burying apparatus that uses specially configured jetting nozzles that intake sea water surrounding the nozzle. The apparatus provides a frame supporting spaced apart left and right inclined pipe sections that are configured to be placed on opposing sides of the pipeline to be buried. Each inclined pipe section is fitted with a plurality of jetting nozzles that are positioned on one of the inclined pipe sections, in vertically spaced apart positions and in horizontally spaced apart positions. At least some of said jetting nozzles include a nozzle body having an outer surface and a main, central longitudinal fluid flow channel with a central channel axis. A fluid inlet end portion of the nozzle body has an externally threaded portion that enables connection to an internally threaded portion of a selected one of the inclined pipe sections. A discharge end portion of the nozzle body extends outwardly from an inclined pipe and the threaded portion. A plurality of lateral channels each intersect the main channel at an acute angle. In one embodiment, the main central longitudinal channel has an inlet section with an inlet section diameter, a discharge section having an outlet section diameter and a connecting section that is in between the inlet section and the outlet section.

    摘要: An apparatus for digging a trench under a pipeline or cable which has been placed on the sea bottom. A carriage moves along the pipeline. Two forward digging chains are mounted on the carriage so as to be disposed on each side of the pipeline, and so that their ends define two points on a line extending beneath the pipeline or cable. The digging chains are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement of the carriage. Each digging chain is movable from a first position of incline with respect to the direction of movement of the carriage to a second position substantially at right angles thereto. The digging chains are shaped and positioned so as to dig the trench with an undercut slope at both sides.

    摘要: This invention relates to the self-propelled underwater trenching apparatus and method for burying pipelines, cables and the like with minimum underwater diver supervision. The apparatus includes a frame having frame members positioned about the pipeline and buoyancy tanks with variable positions. Drive rollers are connected to the frame members for drive engagement with the pipeline. The frame members are movable by power rams about vertical and horizontal pivots selectively to engage or disengage the drive rollers with the pipeline. Oscillating water jet nozzles are secured to the apparatus for preselected sweeping movement to cut away the bottom formation to enable the pipeline to be buried in the trench so formed. To aid in the forming of the trench by removing the cuttings, an eductor is positioned over the pipeline in front of the front jet nozzles, an air dispersal ring and water jet nozzles are combined with rear eductors and an optional shroud is positioned over the frame to confine the cuttings for easier removal.To prevent contact with the sides and bottom of the trench both the jet nozzles and the buoyancy tanks are vertically movable. Upon meeting an obstruction on the surface of the pipeline, power rams in the fore portion of the frame member pivot the frame member about vertical and horizontal pivots to bring the forward drive rollers out of driving engagement and then back into driving engagement after being driven over the obstruction by the rear drive rollers.

    摘要: An underwater trenching machine comprising a carriage and a pair each of fore and aft pivotal frames, each of which carries a drive roller means for intimately contacting the pipeline, said front and rear frames being adapted to mutually exclusively pivot outwardly upon command so that the frame carrying the roller means resting at that time on the pipeline takes over the drive function performed by the roller means on both pair of frame means theretofore, and further including improved jet legs each divided into multiple sections for enabling differential water velocity while minimizing water pressure loss through the length thereof, all while the machine is maintained at a predetermined buoyance and attitude.
