Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dredging engineering equipment. Background Art

[0002] Port and waterway construction projects require the deployment of various dredging vessels to meet construction needs. Trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSDs) are widely used due to their adaptability. Due to their unique construction characteristics, TSDs excavate along the waterway with a uniform dredging line. However, the complex underwater topography can lead to numerous uncertainties during the excavation process, which can cause problems for the dredging head.

[0003] When the teeth on the rake head are blocked by silt or stones, the rake teeth form a whole plate, resulting in the rake teeth being unable to effectively cut the bottom of the water and the silt on the bottom of the water being unable to be effectively sucked out. Moreover, when the rake head moves to push and dig the bottom silt, a large amount of bottom silt accumulates on one side of the rake teeth of the rake head, causing the suction port to be easily blocked, causing great difficulties to the construction. It is also very easy to cause construction costs to rise and benefits to be lost in the later stage of the project when the trailing suction hopper barge is sweeping shallows.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. When the movable cover moves, it will drive the first fixed rake teeth, the rotating rake teeth and the second fixed rake teeth to move to cut the silt on the bottom of the water to facilitate the adsorption of the silt. At the same time, the second fixed rake teeth are used to support the movable cover, stabilize the movement of the movable cover and avoid tilting. Since the stones on the bottom of the water are not clear, they are easy to get stuck between the first fixed rake teeth.
