The erecting tools of recoverable claw connector
Technical field
The present invention relates to pipeline fastening means, relate in particular to a kind of can realization submarine pipeline is connected and the erecting tools of recuperable recoverable claw connector fast.Belong to Offshore Engineering field.
Background technology
Undersea pipe-laying is the important component part that oil-gas field development is built, and the outer aspect such as defeated of exploitation, production and product to offshore oil and gas field plays a very important role.Need to adopt different connectors and interconnection technique to the connection between various submarine pipelines and fixation means.As: interconnecting between manifold, production tree, end of line set facility (PLET) is all by connector, jumping pipe, stream pipe to be connected on these fixation means.Therefore, the connection of highly effective and safe is an important technology in subsea production system.
At present, to the connection between various submarine pipelines and fixation means, conventionally adopt following connected mode:
(1) the mode that bolt flange formula connects: this kind of mode is in the time that bolt flange connects, must guarantee the installation accuracy of multiple bolts (generally at least 8) at flange upper bolt hole, and connect for deep underwater pipes, owing to transmitting image by underwater robot, action adjustment is observed and done to on-the-spot installation situation, installation accuracy is declined greatly, then require whole connected system must reduce for the requirement of installation accuracy, this has just greatly limited bolt flange connection and has connected for deep underwater pipes.Therefore, the mode that existing bolt and flange form connect is not only suitable for the depth of water and is restricted, and connects time-consuming.
(2) the mode that adopts claw connector to connect: claw connector belongs to a kind of typical deep water jockey fast, wherein, is provided with claw structure, as adapter connector.Because it has abandoned bolt connection, the accurate contraposition under deepwater environment of bolt and complicated pretension action are avoided completely, can between various submarine pipelines and fixation means, connect, and replace bolt group to provide pretightning force for flange by the structure that driving ring presses down claw, avoid bolt to connect the difficult problem that multiple holes are accurately aimed at, thereby greatly reduced the installation accuracy requirement to flange; Shorten the underwater operation time, be more suitable for the flange in environment in deep water and connect; And hydraulic-driven stable action, avoids the damaged in collision to vitals, has improved the security of docking operation; Therefore, only have the aligning requirements of pipeline when it is installed under water, installation action is simple, and installation period is shorter, belongs to typical interconnection technique fast.
Whether retain under water the drive units such as hydraulic cylinder according to claw connector, claw connector can be divided into recoverable and recoverable not.After recoverable connector does not provide sealing force realization to seal by drive unit under water, be still retained under water, therefore, operating cost is higher, and is faced with the danger that under permanent load, drive unit lost efficacy.And recoverable claw connector, owing to can it being reclaimed, recycling, therefore, has reduced operating cost.
But this kind of recoverable claw connector, owing to there is no special recovery instrument, brings difficulty to recovery operation.Under this realistic situation, design the present invention.
