Embodiment Construction

[0033] Hereinafter, the present invention will be illustrated with examples in conjunction with the drawings.

[0034] As shown in the figure, a robot for collecting deep-sea polymetallic nodules includes a frame 2, a wing-shaped floating cabin I, a compressed air cabin III, a collection tube IV, a collection pump II, a collection frame VI and a propeller V.

[0035] The airfoil pontoon I imitates the shape and structure of a wing and is arranged on the top of the robot. The airfoil pontoon I includes a water outlet 3 on the lower side of the tail of the device, an exhaust port 4 on the upper side of the tail of the device, a connecting pipe 1 connected with the airfoil pontoon I, and two lower fixing devices 5 at the front and back. The connecting pipes 1 are located on both sides of the wing-shaped floating cabin I, respectively connected to the compressed air cabins III on both sides; the fixing devices 5 are located at the front and rear ends of the wing-shaped floating cabin I...

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot for deep-sea polymetallic nodule collection and a collection method. The robot comprises an underwater moving carrier and a collection module fixedly mounted on the underwater moving carrier, the collection module comprises a collection frame, a collection pump, a rack and a collection pipe, the collection frame is mounted at the bottom of the rack, the collection pump is a piston pump and comprises a piston and a cylinder with the lower end open, the upper portion of the cylinder is a collection area while the lower portion of the same is a piston stroke area,the collection pipe is connected on the cylinder of the collection area, a first one-way valve is arranged between the collection pipe and the piston stroke area in the cylinder, and a second one-wayvalve is arranged in the middle of the piston. An underwater moving function of the robot is realized through the underwater moving carrier, continuous collection of deep-sea polymetallic nodule through up-down movement of the piston in the collection pump, and the deep-sea polymetallic nodule after being collected enters the collection frame to be collected, so that nondestructive collection of the deep-sea polymetallic nodule is realized with high efficiency.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of deep-sea operation equipment, and relates to a deep-sea collection operation equipment, in particular to a robot and a collection method for collecting deep-sea polymetallic nodules. Background technique [0002] With the gradual shortage of global terrestrial metal resources and the continuous growth of the world's population, the contradiction between metal supply and demand has become increasingly prominent, and deep-sea polymetallic nodules with abundant reserves have become an important hope for solving the problem of human metal resources. Therefore, the development of deep-sea polymetallic nodules collection technology and the commercial exploitation of deep-sea polymetallic nodules can solve the shortage of metal resources to a certain extent and alleviate the crisis of human resources. [0003] However, the collection environment of deep-sea polymetallic nodules is harsh, and the technical barriers are difficult ...
