Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater dredging, and in particular to an efficient and environmentally friendly underwater dry dredging device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dredging is an engineering activity to clean up sediment and repair waterways in seabed riverbeds, seaports, waterways and other waters. It is crucial to maintain marine water conservancy facilities, promote offshore economic development and protect the ecological environment. In particular, underwater dredging is directly related to the smooth progress of projects such as port construction, waterway dredging and offshore wind farm infrastructure construction. These projects usually require efficient cleaning of sediments, sand, mud, and debris to ensure smooth waterways, stable infrastructure, and meet the needs of underwater ecological protection. However, current underwater dredging operations face complex technical and environmental challenges.

[0003] The complexity of the underwater dredging environment is a key factor affecting the efficiency and quality of the operation. There are various types of riverbeds, including gravel riverbeds, silt riverbeds, and muddy riverbeds. Each type of riverbed has different technical challenges in dredging projects. For example, high-water content sediment and silt will reduce the working efficiency of dredging equipment. In addition, for riverbeds with serious organic pollutants such as silt beds, dredging projects will also face ecological challenges such as possible water quality deterioration.

[0004] In the current fields of port expansion and deep-water channel maintenance, the demand for underwater dredging operations has become increasingly complex. Modern underwater dredging projects usually have the following characteristics: (1) Efficient operation requirements: How to efficiently clean up a large amount of sediment and ensure the construction progress within a limited construction period has become the key to the success of the project; (2) Environmental protection requirements: When conducting underwater dredging, environmental protection requirements such as preventing water pollution and avoiding the spread of sediment are becoming more and more stringent. Especially today when the pressure of environmental protection is increasing, environmental protection dredging technology has become an indispensable choice.

[0005] However, although the existing underwater dredging devices can complete basic dredging tasks, there is still much room for improvement in terms of efficiency and environmental protection. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN118581945B designs a dredging device, which consists of a dredging cylinder and a stirring device, which is convenient for stirring sludge to prevent siltation and blockage, but the dredged soil is still sucked as a mixture of mud and water, which affects the dredging efficiency; the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN222183503U designs a sludge dredging device, which can scrape the sludge through an arc-shaped plow blade to make the sludge move to the grab The center is gathered to improve construction efficiency. However, the device can be further improved in environmental protection construction, and the operating efficiency can also further release potential; the Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN118273411B designs a dredging device for river management. The device can form a cover to cover the silt layer through the coordinated operation of different mechanisms to prevent the silt from spreading. The soil is cut by high-pressure water jet, and then the mud is pumped away through the pipe. The invention meets the requirements of environmental protection construction in terms of function, but the cover is formed by a combination of mechanisms, the sealing performance needs to be verified, and the operation is slightly cumbersome.

[0006] In summary, although the products currently on the market or the patents that have been disclosed have strong dredging capabilities, their dredging efficiency is not high; although some equipment can limit the spread of sediment, the working area is not sealed enough and may still cause pollution to the surrounding water bodies.

[0019] Step S200: When the underwater dry dredging device can penetrate the mud bed to a predetermined depth by its own weight, the device is leveled by a tilt correction mechanism after being stabilized;

[0020] Step S300: When the underwater dry dredging device cannot penetrate the mud bed to a predetermined depth by its own weight, water is pumped out by a water pump, so that the barrel cover continues to penetrate into the mud bed under the action of negative pressure vacuum. During the penetration process, the tilt correction mechanism is used to perform leveling. When the dredging breaking mechanism reaches a predetermined depth, the pumping is terminated.

[0021] Step S400, start the water pump to pump water to create a waterless environment in the barrel-shaped cover, and simultaneously supply air to the barrel-shaped cover through the air supply pipe to prevent negative pressure from forming in the barrel-shaped cover. After the water pumping is completed, the water pumping and ventilation are terminated;

[0022] Step S500, turning on the first motor, the second motor and the third motor, driving the plow-type soil breaker and the spiral scraper to revolve through the second motor, and driving the spiral scraper to rotate through the third motor, the spiral scraper transports soil to the soil inlet of the spiral lifting mechanism while breaking the soil, and the spiral lifting mechanism transports the soil upward to the target position;

[0023] Step S600: When a hard obstacle is encountered during the earth-breaking process, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder in the barrel cover is controlled to retract, so as to lift up the dredging earth-breaking mechanism, and then lower the dredging earth-breaking mechanism after the obstacle is passed;

[0024] Step S600: after the dredging and breaking mechanism completes dredging of the soil at a specified depth through observation by the camera, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder in the barrel cover is controlled to extend, so that the lower pipe of the spiral lifting mechanism and the dredging and breaking mechanism move downward, so that the dredging and breaking mechanism sinks into the mud again, and a deeper dredging operation is performed;

[0025] Step S700, after one operation is completed, turn off the first motor, the second motor and the third motor, inject water into the barrel cover through the water pump, and simultaneously open the air pipe to exhaust air. After the barrel cover is filled with water, control the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder to extend, pull the barrel cover upward out of the mud bed, and then hoist and shift it to change the dredging area and continue construction.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. The present invention adopts a closed barrel-shaped working space. The round barrel-shaped cover can be pressed into the seabed, ensuring the sealing of the working space, effectively preventing the diffusion of silt, and reducing the disturbance of the water body around the barrel-shaped cover;

[0028] 2. The barrel cover is connected to the water pump and the air pipe, which can take in air while pumping water, ensuring that the water inside the barrel cover is not affected by the vacuum inside the cover when draining water, reducing the water content of the dredged soil, thereby reducing the energy consumption of soil transportation and increasing the dredged soil output of a single operation;

[0029] 3. The dredging and earth-breaking mechanism includes a plow-type earth-breaker and a spiral scraper. The plow-type earth-breaker and the spiral scraper rotate together with the annular connection and the annular slide rail. The plow-type earth-breaker first destroys the soil, and the spiral scraper can transport the soil to the soil inlet of the spiral lifting mechanism while realizing the earth-breaking function, thereby improving the working efficiency;

[0030] 4. A tilt correction mechanism is provided on the barrel cover to adjust the barrel cover’s tilt. When the barrel cover tilts during the process of being pressed into the seabed, the attitude sensor transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the second hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract to restore the sinking end to the horizontal level. By timely leveling the barrel cover, the safe and stable operation of the dredging operation can be ensured.

[0031] 5. The meshing transmission structure of the second motor, gear and gear ring drives the annular connection, annular slide rail, plow-type breaker and spiral scraper to rotate around the spiral lifting mechanism, with a compact structure;

[0032] 6. The inner support frame of the dredging and earth-breaking mechanism is fixed on the spiral lifting mechanism. A number of radial rods are arranged on the inner support frame. The block joints at the ends of the radial rods slide against the inner wall of the barrel cover, which can center the spiral lifting mechanism and improve the use stability of the spiral lifting mechanism.

[0033] 7. The spiral lifting mechanism includes a vertical spiral auger and a lifting pipe. The spiral auger rotates to transport the soil upward. The lifting pipe of the spiral lifting mechanism is divided into an upper pipe and a lower pipe. The sliding sleeve of the lower pipe is set below the upper pipe. When the first hydraulic cylinder drives the inner support frame to rise and fall, the lower pipe connected to the inner support frame rises and falls accordingly, which can not only realize the extension and retraction of the lifting pipe to a specified height, but also ensure the continuity of the earth-breaking-transportation process. The extension function can cooperate with the dredging earth-breaking mechanism to complete dredging operations at different depths, and can also bypass hard obstacles that suddenly appear on the seabed, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and smooth construction;

[0034] 8. The upper tube of the spiral lifting mechanism is a split design, including an outer tube arranged on the upper end face of the annular interface of the barrel cover, an inner tube fixed on the lower end face of the annular interface, and a sliding tube fixed on the lower end face of the inner tube. The split design is easy to maintain. When any one of the outer tube, inner tube and sliding tube is damaged, a separate part can be replaced without replacing the entire upper tube. At the same time, the split design is also conducive to the disassembly, transportation and assembly of the equipment;

[0035] 9. The spiral blades of the spiral auger are provided with long protrusions and material-blocking flanges. The long protrusions can increase friction and improve the soil conveying capacity. The material-blocking flanges can prevent soil from falling from the gap between the spiral blades and the lifting pipe under the action of centrifugal force, thereby improving the conveying efficiency. The auger shaft contains a water pipe, which can spray water through the nozzle on the auger shaft to prevent soil from silting up and improve the ability to convey soil of different soil qualities.

[0036] 10. A fixed frame is provided inside the lifting pipe, which can center the auger shaft and improve the rotation stability of the spiral auger;

[0037] 11. The blade hub and blade teeth of the plow-type breaker are detachable. By replacing the flat teeth and sharp teeth, it can cut different soils or rocks, greatly improving the ability of dredging projects to cope with different soil types;

[0038] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the dredging output and efficiency through innovative design. During the operation, it can avoid the pollution of the surrounding water bodies by sediment and avoid the discharge of mud and water, which meets the dual requirements of modern dredging projects for environmental protection and efficient operation. In addition, the plow-type breaker can achieve the cutting of different soils or rocks by replacing flat teeth and pointed teeth, greatly improving the working ability of dredging projects to cope with different soil types, and has strong adaptability and broad application prospects.
