Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of helical flow rotating device, in particular to a solid-liquid two-phase helical flow rotating device for deep-sea mining lifting system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of deep-sea natural gas hydrate fluidized mining pipeline transportation, a helical flow rotating device is often used to generate a solid-liquid two-phase helical flow, so as to stabilize the flow state of the pipeline fluid, reduce the energy loss caused by collision, avoid the deposition and adhesion of solid particles on the pipeline, and improve the transportation efficiency of the pipeline. In the oil and gas industry, in order to reduce the liquid accumulation in the pipeline and improve the liquid carrying capacity, a helical flow rotating device is introduced to generate a gas-liquid two-phase helical flow, and is applied in a gas collection pipeline to reduce icing and eliminate paraffin.

[0003] In recent years, ocean exploration has found that there are rich mineral resources in the ocean bottom thousands of meters deep, which are of various types, have huge reserves, and are of extremely high grade, and have great development and utilization prospects. The deep-sea mineral resources with commercial development prospects mainly include polymetallic manganese nodules, cobalt-rich crusts, and hydrothermal sulfide, etc. However, at present, how to efficiently and stably transport solid mineral particles to the sea surface is still a difficult problem to be solved.

[0004] In the deep-sea mining hydraulic lifting system, there are many difficulties in solid-liquid two-phase flow transportation. The sedimentation of solid particles is obvious, and the particles collide due to the turbulent action of the water flow, resulting in large transportation energy consumption. The wear of the solid particles on the inner wall of the pipeline is also one of the important failure reasons of the transportation pipeline.

[0005] In recent years, some scholars have proposed to use high-speed helical flow to improve the transportation efficiency of solid-liquid two-phase flow. The high-speed helical flow has the advantages of energy concentration, strong particle carrying capacity, and high transportation concentration, etc. It can drag the deposited ore particles and make them float in the main flow, so as to realize the goal of high-concentration and low-energy-consumption transportation of the hydraulic lifting system. Moreover, due to the strong entrainment effect of the negative pressure of the helical flow, the ore particles are gathered towards the axis of the pipeline, thereby reducing the wear of the ore particles on the pipeline wall during the transportation process.

[0006] Since the deep-sea mining operation needs to reach thousands of meters of water depth, when the helical flow is used for transportation, the problem of helical flow attenuation is inevitably encountered. Increasing multiple rotating devices in the pipeline will also cause the weight of the pipeline, increase the installation cost, etc. Therefore, the high-strength and high-flow-speed rotating device is very important.

[0010] The spiral flow vanes are arranged in three, and the climbing angle of the spiral flow linkage rod is 24°, so that a high-speed spiral flow is generated inside the space of the cylindrical lower cylinder.

The variable frequency motor drives the rotating shaft system and the spiral flow blade to generate sufficient conveying energy. Then, the high-strength solid-liquid two-phase spiral flow enters the conical upper cylinder for secondary acceleration, and finally is sent into the deep-sea mining hydraulic lifting system pipeline through the solid-liquid two-phase outlet sealing joint.

[0033] In some embodiments, the solid-liquid two-phase inlet sealing joint 6 and the solid-liquid two-phase outlet sealing joint 1 are arranged perpendicular to each other along the axis, so as to realize the feeding of the slurry of the mined ore particles mixed with seawater in the horizontal direction, and then lifting in the vertical direction under the action of the high-speed spiral flow, and then entering the deep-sea mining hydraulic lifting system pipeline through the solid-liquid two-phase outlet sealing joint.

The cylinder connecting flange 9 has high strength and high sealing performance, which guarantees the requirements of the upper cylinder such as not easy to leak, pressure resistance, etc., and is easy to disassemble, which is convenient for maintenance of the high-speed helical flow rotation device. The cylinder connecting flange is connected to the lower cylinder base, which together constitutes the support system of the helical flow rotation device.
