Environment-friendly cluster suspension type seabed ore collecting robot and ore collecting method

Abstract

The invention relates to an environment-friendly cluster suspension type seabed ore collecting robot. The environment-friendly cluster suspension type seabed ore collecting robot is characterized in that an identification unit is used for scanning the surrounding environment, extracting environment data information and uploading the environment data information to a decision-making unit; the decision-making unit processes the environment data information and obtains and sends an instruction to a mobile unit and an acquisition unit; the decision-making unit serves as a control center of the robot; the mobile unit controls the position of a mining robot in space and comprises a butterfly-shaped moving wing; the butterfly-shaped moving wing comprises a framework and a flexible wing body; the framework is arranged on swinging rods which are on the two sides of an ore collecting box, capable of swinging up and down and are arranged at intervals; the flexible wing body is fixed to the swing rods, and the swing rods are driven by independent power and controlled by the control center; the collecting unit comprises a flexible ore collecting pipe rotationally connected with the side wall of the ore collecting box; an ore collecting head is arranged at the end of the ore collecting pipe; a plurality of mechanical arms with at least one movable joint extend out of the side wall of the ore collecting box; and the end of each mechanical arm is fixedly connected with one ore collecting head, and the mechanical arms are driven by independent power.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a seabed ore-collecting robot, in particular to an environment-friendly cluster suspension type seabed ore-collecting robot and a method for collecting ore. Background technique [0002] Under the urgent situation of increasing human demand for metal mineral resources and increasingly scarce land metal resources, countries have turned their attention to the ocean. There are various types of mineral resources in the ocean and sufficient reserves. In the deep seabed, there are rich mineral resources such as polymetallic nodules and rare earths. Among them, polymetallic manganese nodules are one of the seabed minerals with the most economic value. It is estimated that the reserves of manganese nodules on the entire ocean floor are about 3 trillion tons. If exploited properly, they will become an important part of new energy and greatly alleviate the existing energy crisis. Therefore, how to mine seabed ores with high collection...
