Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a seabed mine collecting vehicle used for collecting seabed polymetallic minerals. Background technique [0002] The ore collector vehicle for polymetallic minerals on deep seabed sediments is the carrier of deep seabed ore collection operations, and is the most technically complex and critical part of the deep seabed mining system. The technical difficulty lies in how to ensure the normal and reliable driving of the mine-collecting vehicle in the 6,000-meter deep-sea muddy soft-bottom environment and other hard seamount environments or polymetallic sulphide mining environments, and to ensure the collection of polymetallic minerals with high efficiency. [0003] Existing common ore-collecting vehicles all have traveling mechanism, ore-collecting mechanism and power mechanism etc. The traveling mechanism is generally the Archimedes spiral traveling mechanism and the involute rubber crawle...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the traveling mechanism is generally Archimedes spiral traveling mechanism and involute rubber crawler-type traveling mechanism. Larger; while the crawler-type walking mechanism is used, because the bottom of the seabed is extremely soft, in order to provide sufficient support, a wider crawler must be used, so that under the same volume and weight, the compartment space is compressed and the load is reduced. At the same time, in order to increase the adhesion of the mine collection vehicle on the 6000m deep-sea thin soft bottom, it is necessary to design many higher triangular teeth on the crawler belt of the crawler-type traveling mechanism. forward resistance

The ore collecting mechanism is generally divided into mechanical type, hydraulic type or composite type, and the existing ore collecting mechanism is fixedly connected to the traveling mechanism through the base, and cannot rotate relative to the traveling mechanism to change the mining area during work. Instead, the mining vehicle is driven by the walking mechanism to change the collection position. In order to ensure the comprehensive and sufficient collection of minerals, the mining vehicle must have a small turning radius, which increases the design difficulty of the walking mechanism.

The existing power mechanism mostly adopts the form of hydraulic drive, and the hydraulic station components of the power mechanism are integrated on the traveling mechanism, which not only compresses the placement space of other equipment on the traveling mechanism, but also reduces the carrying capacity of the traveling mechanism
