Mechanical submarine mining and lifting system

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a mechanical submarine mining and lifting system and relates to the field of oceanic mineral resource mining equipment. The mechanical submarine mining and lifting system comprises a supporting stand pipe, a lifting mechanism, a mineral storage container, a mineral lifting container and a drive mechanism. The lifting mechanism comprises an upper pulley assembly, a lower pulley assembly and a first lifting steel cable assembly. The upper pulley assembly is arranged at the upper end of the supporting stand pipe. The mineral storage container and the lower pulley assembly are both arranged at the lower end of the supporting stand pipe. The bottom of the mineral storage container is provided with a mineral discharge outlet capable of being opened and closed. The drive mechanism is in transmission connection with the upper pulley assembly which is in transmission connection with the lower pulley assembly through the first lifting steel cable assembly. The first lifting steel cable assembly is provided with a plurality of first hook assemblies. The mineral lifting container is provided with a first lifting and supporting rod used for hanging the mineral lifting container on the first hook assembly. The mechanical submarine mining and lifting system is simple in structure, efficient and reliable in lifting and good in economic benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of marine mineral resource mining equipment, in particular to a mechanical seabed mining lifting system. Background technique [0002] Most of the earth is covered with water. In different depths of the ocean, there are a large number of seabed minerals. Their reserves and content are unmatched by the mainland. Because minerals are different from oil, minerals must be transported from the seabed to land. In fact, this is very different from oil extraction. On the one hand, its transportation is difficult, on the other hand, production efficiency and economy are also important considerations. At the same time, due to the high technical difficulty and complexity of deep sea mining, this poses a great challenge to the technical requirements scheme. [0003] In general, a complete seabed mining system includes the following components: [0004] Submarine mining vehicles, including deep-sea mineral cutting machines, gri...
