[0027] like Figure 3 As shown in , the main part of the combined suction dredger is in an H-shape, the three-section cabin structure on the left and the three-section cabin structure on the right can be split and combined, and the middle buoyancy cabin 21 and the three-section cabins on both sides can be split and combined. After being fully split, the main part of the combined suction dredger is divided into multiple independent cabins, which can be transported in separate parts by land transportation and assembled after arriving at the construction project site. The support tires 4 can be installed on the outside of the three-section cabin structure on both sides to prevent the three-section cabin structure from being directly squeezed by other ships or when docking.

[0028] A control room 16 is installed above the middle buoyancy tank 21 using multiple adapters 24, so the control room 16 is also a separate component and is installed separately after the main body of the ship is assembled. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the transverse width of the control room 16 is greater than the width of the middle buoyancy tank 21 and less than the total width of the main body of the ship. An adapter 24 is provided between the bottom of the control room 16 and the middle buoyancy tank 14 and the middle buoyancy tank 21. The multiple adapters 24 provide stable support for the control room 16 and improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the control room 16. Specifically, the bottom of the adapter 24 is fixedly connected to the top bulkheads of the middle buoyancy tank 14 and the middle buoyancy tank 21 by bolts, and the top of the adapter 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the control room 16 by bolts.

[0029] See also Figure 5 , we can see that:

[0030] In this embodiment, the detachable connection structure 25 includes a fixed transverse plate 25-2 and a connecting vertical plate 25-3 fixedly connected to the fixed transverse plate 25-2 and having a connecting hole.

The detachable connection structure 25 is fixed by bolts between the front of the middle buoyancy tank 21 and the middle buoyancy tank 14, between the middle and the middle buoyancy tank 14, and between the rear and the rear buoyancy tank 19.

[0031] See also Figure 6 , it can be seen that: in this embodiment,

[0032] The detachable support structure 26 includes a support block 26-3 with a groove installed on the inner side of the bottom of the outer compartment (the middle buoyancy compartment 14 and the rear buoyancy compartment 19), a step groove 26-2 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the middle buoyancy compartment 21, and a fitting ridge 26-1 is provided on the top wall of the step groove 26-2, and the support block 26-2 is located inside the step groove 26-2 and the fitting ridge 26-1 is embedded in the groove of the support block 26-3. When the main body of the ship is assembled, the lower detachable support structure 26 is first combined, and then the upper detachable connection structure 25 is bolted.

[0033] In this embodiment, the front buoyancy tank 8 uses the internal partition to form the bow ballast water tank 8-1, the front first empty tank 8-2 and the front second empty tank 8-3 from front to back. The bow ballast water tank 8-1 is used to load ballast water to improve stability, and the front first empty tank 8-2 and the front second empty tank 8-3 are used to provide buoyancy for the ship.

[0034] In this embodiment, the middle buoyancy tank 14 uses the internal partitions to form a storage tank 14-1, a middle empty tank 14-2 and a fresh water tank 14-3 from front to back, wherein the storage tank 14-1 is used to store ship supplies and is provided with an entrance and exit and stairs leading to the cabin, the middle empty tank 14-2 is used to provide ship buoyancy, and the fresh water tank 14-3 is used to store fresh water.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rear buoyancy tank 19 uses the internal partition to form the first fuel tank 19-1, the second fuel tank 19-2, the third fuel tank 19-3, the ship engine room 19-4 and the stern ballast water tank 19-5 from front to back. A generator 23 is installed in the ship engine room 19-4, wherein the first fuel tank 19-1, the second fuel tank 19-2 and the third fuel tank 19-3 are used to store fuel, and the generator 23 uses fuel to generate electricity to provide power supply for the entire ship. The stern ballast water tank 19-5 is used to load ballast water to improve stability. A high-voltage electrical component 7 is installed on the middle buoyancy tank 14, and the generator 23 is connected to the high-voltage electrical component 7 through a cable to realize power supply, and other electrical facilities are connected to the power supply end of the high-voltage electrical component 7 through a cable.

[0036] It also includes a bridge 12 with a bridge mud pipeline 9, a bridge mud pump 11 and a reamer assembly 10, and the upper end of the bridge 12 is hingedly connected to the front of the middle buoyancy tank 21. A gantry is installed at the front of the front buoyancy tank 8, and a positioning steel pile assembly 20 is installed at the rear of the rear buoyancy tank 19. It also includes a lifting cable mechanism 15 and a traverse cable mechanism 13 and a shipboard mud pipeline 18.

[0037] The reamer assembly 10 is composed of a reamer and a hydraulic motor. When the bridge 12 is lowered, the reamer assembly 10 is lowered to the bottom mud surface. When the reamer assembly is running, it produces a cutting effect on the bottom mud surface, and the bridge mud pump 11 produces an extraction effect. The mud formed by the reamer assembly 10 enters the rear mud suction port and is transported upward by the bridge mud pipeline 9. The lifting and lowering of the bridge 12 is controlled by the lifting cable mechanism 15. Specifically, the lifting cable mechanism 15 is a lifting winch. A pulley assembly is installed at the outer end of the gantry and the bridge 12. The steel cable retracted and unreeled by the lifting winch is connected to the bridge 12 through the aforementioned pulley assembly. By controlling the reeling and unreeling of the steel cable, the lifting and lowering of the bridge 12 and its accessories are controlled. When carrying out the winch construction, the bridge 12 also needs to drive the reamer assembly 10 to swing left and right at a certain angle. The swinging action of the bridge 12 is performed by the transverse cable mechanism 13. The transverse cable mechanism 13 is a transverse winch. The transverse winch is installed at the root position of the bridge 12. By controlling the movement of the transverse cable, the bridge 12 is controlled to swing left and right.

[0038] The positioning steel pile assembly 20 is used for positioning and moving the suction dredger, and includes a fixed positioning steel pile and a positioning steel pile carried by a trolley. During stationary construction, the two positioning steel piles are inserted into the mud surface of the bottom of the water. When the ship needs to be moved, one of the positioning steel piles is lifted up to leave the mud surface of the bottom of the water, and then the trolley is moved, and then the positioning steel pile is reinserted into the mud surface of the bottom of the water, and then the other positioning steel pile is lifted, and then the ship is moved, and the positioning steel pile is reinserted after it is moved into place.

[0039] In this embodiment, a ship-borne mud pump 22 and a hydraulic pump station are installed inside the middle buoyancy chamber 21, the ship-borne mud pipeline 18 is connected to the outlet of the ship-borne mud pump 22, and the bridge mud pipeline 9 is connected to the inlet of the ship-borne mud pump 22. The mud excavated by the reamer assembly 10 reaches the ship-borne mud pump 22 along the bridge mud pipeline 9 under the action of the bridge mud pump 11, and under the action of the ship-borne mud pump 22, the mud enters the ship-borne mud pipeline 18, which usually extends to the stern of the ship and has a reserved interface. During construction, the water self-floating mud pipeline is docked with the ship-borne mud pipeline 18, and under the strong pumping action of the ship-borne mud pump 22, the excavated mud is transported to land via the water self-floating mud pipeline.

[0040] An anchor bracket 2 and an anchor cable mechanism 6 are also installed in the front part of the front buoyancy chamber 8. An anchor 1 for throwing by the anchor cable mechanism 6 is provided at the outer end of the anchor bracket 2. The anchor cable mechanism 6 is an anchor cable winch. The anchor cable winch controls the retraction and release of the anchor cable to achieve anchoring and lifting. During construction, the anchor 1 is thrown into the nearby waters to anchor the ship and improve stability.

[0041] In the present embodiment, a U-shaped bow platform 3 is also installed at the front of the gantry. When the bridge 12 is lifted to a horizontal position by the lifting cable mechanism 15, the reamer assembly 10 is located on the inner side of the bow platform 3, which facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the reamer assembly 10. During construction, the reamer assembly 10 may have problems such as foreign objects being inserted and the teeth being damaged, and needs to be repaired and maintained. At this time, the bridge 12 is lifted to a horizontal position, and the maintenance personnel on the bow platform 3 perform the operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, a bow crane 5 is installed on the front buoyancy compartment 8, and a stern crane 17 is installed on the rear buoyancy compartment 19. The bow crane 5 and the stern crane 17 are provided for lifting materials.
