Exploitation system for deep sea mineral resources

Abstract

The invention discloses a deep-sea mineral resource development system, which includes an underwater mineral collection subsystem, a mineral transfer subsystem, a water surface support subsystem, an underwater control subsystem and a supporting support subsystem. The underwater mineral collection subsystem includes a mining submersible group; the mineral transfer subsystem includes the lifting submersible; the underwater control subsystem includes the deep submersible, and the deep submersible is equipped with a nuclear power plant; the supporting support subsystem includes the maintenance support submersible and the communication, navigation and positioning device; They are respectively connected with the mining submersible group and the maintenance support submersible, and the deep submersible provides energy and control signals for the mining submersible group and the maintenance support submersible. The sub-system under water of the present invention does not need to be provided with energy by the sub-system on the water, if run into bad weather at sea such as strong wind and waves during work, the sub-system on the water can be moved to other places to avoid wind and waves, and the sub-system under the water The subsystem can continue to work normally, the operation requirements are not high, and it is not sensitive to sea wind and waves.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine mineral resource mining equipment, in particular to a deep sea mineral resource development system. Background technique [0002] The deep seabed contains extremely rich mineral resources, among which polymetallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts and polymetallic sulfides are the most valuable for development. In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for resources has also increased. With the significant improvement of economic strength, the marine industry has developed rapidly, providing a good foundation for the development of deep sea mining. [0003] Since the middle of the last century, extensive research has been carried out internationally on deep-sea mining technology, and various technologies such as drag bucket type, continuous chain bucket type, pipeline lifting type, and shuttle carrying type based on "surface floating platform" have been proposed.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a deep-sea mineral resources development system to solve the problem that the existing marine mineral resource mining device's surface mining ship tows the underwater system to carry out the collection of underwater mineral resources. Mining ships need to tow the entire system to avoid wind and waves, which requires high operational requirements and is sensitive to sea wind and waves.
