[0034] In order to solve the problems of poor putting, easy deviation of putting track and low putting efficiency under the traditional end plate structure, the application provides a rotary digging type end plate suitable for underwater salvage equipment and a sinking method thereof. The rotary digging type end plate suitable for underwater salvage equipment and the sinking method thereof are further described below in combination with the drawings.
[0035] Referring to Figures 1-3 The rotary digging type end plate structure suitable for underwater salvage equipment includes: an end plate body 1, a surface of the end plate body 1 being used to contact a mud surface line is a sinking surface, a middle position of the sinking surface is connected with a rotating shaft 14 in a direction perpendicular to the end plate body 1, the rotating shaft 14 divides the sinking surface into a first half surface and a second half surface located on two sides of the rotating shaft 14 respectively; a plurality of digging heads 2 for digging silt, the plurality of digging heads 2 are arranged on the first half surface and are fixed to the end plate body 1; and an underwater salvage equipment including an end plate frame 3 for connecting the rotating shaft 14 and driving the rotating shaft 14 to rotate.
[0036] Specifically, the end plate body 1 includes symmetrically arranged inner plates 11 and outer plates 12, a plurality of partition plates 13 are fixed between the inner plates 11 and the outer plates 12, the plurality of partition plates 13 divide the inner plates 11 and the outer plates 12 into a plurality of installation ports for one-to-one corresponding installation of the plurality of digging heads 2, and the rotating shaft 14 is connected between the inner plates 11 and the outer plates 12. In the embodiment, the digging heads 2 can adopt the head form of a pipe jacking machine as shown in Figure 3 Each installation port is fixed with an installation plate, the installation plate is provided with a clamping hole, and each digging head 2 is clamped in the corresponding clamping hole with the axis being in the vertical direction. Each digging head 2 is independently controlled by an external controller. Specifically, the side of the installation plate opposite to the sinking surface is provided with a driving device for driving the digging head 2 and a silt water circulation system for flushing and extracting silt at the digging head 2, and the driving device and the silt water circulation system are connected with the external controller, which can be a general control system arranged on the deck of the water surface.
[0037] For the above rotary digging type end plate structure, the application provides an embodiment of the end plate body 1: as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the end plate body 1 is a semicircle with a circular arc downward, the upper end surface of the end plate body 1 is the sinking surface, and the rotating shaft 14 is located at the center of the end plate body 1. Further, the end plate frame 3 is a rectangular frame that can be arranged around the outer periphery of the sinking surface, including two side frames and two end frames fixed between the two ends of the two side frames, and two electric bearings 31 are symmetrically arranged on the two side frames and connected with an external controller. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 respectively extend out of the end plate body 1 (i.e. the inner plate 11 and the outer plate 12) and are connected to the two electric bearings 31. This embodiment belongs to a rotary excavation type end plate structure with non-full-face excavation, which is sunk in a rotary sinking manner. The specific steps include Figures 4-6 As shown:
[0038] Step 1, providing the above-mentioned rotary excavation type end plate suitable for underwater salvage equipment, providing the end plate frame 3 of the underwater salvage equipment, and connecting the rotating shaft 14 to the end plate frame 3. Specifically, the two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are respectively connected to the two electric bearings 31, and the end plate frame 3 is arranged around the outer periphery of the sinking surface.
[0039] Step 2, starting sinking with the sinking surface downward (i.e. the state as shown). Figure 4
[0040] Step 3, when the sinking surface contacts the mud surface line, controlling the end plate frame 3 to drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate the end plate body 1, and controlling the excavator head 2 to start working, so that the excavator head 2 excavates silt during the rotation of the end plate body 1. The rotation direction of the rotating shaft 14 is determined by the arrangement position of the excavator head 2, and the principle is to make one side of the excavator head 2 preferentially extend into the silt to ensure that the excavator head 2 excavates silt at the first time after starting work.
[0041] Step 4, continue sinking, when sinking to a preset position and the end plate body rotates 180 degrees, stop driving the rotating shaft 14, and control the excavator head 2 to stop working. During the process of continuing sinking, the external controller is used to control the electric bearing 31 to drive the rotating shaft 14 to adjust the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 14, so that the end plate body 1 just sinks to the preset position (as shown) when rotating 180 degrees. Figures 4-6
[0042] During the process of starting sinking in step 2 and continuing sinking in step 4, the end plate frame 3 is kept in a horizontal state. Specifically, sinking positioning holes 32 are arranged on the two end frames of the end plate frame 3 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, before the sinking of the end plate body 1, two positioning piles 4 for sinking positioning can be vertically fixed in advance, and after the connecting shaft 14 is connected to the end plate frame 3, the end plate frame 3 is arranged on the positioning piles 4, so that the two positioning piles 4 pass through the two positioning holes 32, and in the sinking process, the end plate body 1 and the end plate frame 3 sink together along the positioning piles 4, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the cooperation of the positioning piles 4 and the positioning holes 32 ensures that the end plate frame 4 remains in a horizontal state.
[0043] Preferably, in order to further avoid unnecessary energy loss of the excavator head 2, the excavator head 2 should only work when it is in the sludge, and should stop working immediately when it is out of the sludge, so as a preferred embodiment: when the end plate body 1 sinks to the line contact between the sinking surface and the mud surface, because the sinking surface is a horizontal surface of the same height, all the excavator heads 2 will contact the sludge at the same time, so all the excavator heads 2 should be controlled to start working at the same time; and considering that the end plate body 1 is sunk in a rotating manner, all the excavator heads 2 will sequentially leave the sludge according to the order from the center to the circumference of the end plate body 1 (i.e. according to the order of the excavator heads 2 rotating to 180 degrees with the end plate body 1), therefore, when the end plate body 1 sinks to the preset position, the excavator heads 2 should be controlled to stop working in the order of the excavator heads 2 rotating to 180 degrees with the end plate body 1.
[0044] The rotating excavation type end plate of the present application realizes section excavation, improves the sinking efficiency, and reduces the cost, without arranging excavator heads on the whole sinking surface, which can ensure the smooth sinking of the end plate structure without obstruction; in addition, the cooperation of the end plate frame 3 can ensure that the sinking trajectory does not deviate.
[0045] The above embodiments of the present application are described in detail in combination with the figures, and those skilled in the art can make various changes to the present application according to the above description. Therefore, some details in the embodiments should not constitute a limitation on the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application will be defined by the appended claims.
