AI Technical Summary
Existing dredging equipment is prone to clogging of the rake head and pump suction channel when pumping high-viscosity or impurity-containing sludge, resulting in reduced efficiency or even shutdown for maintenance. Large solid objects mixed in the sludge directly enter the pump suction system, which will aggravate wear. The lack of an effective crushing and separation mechanism and the inability to adaptively adjust to impurities with high hardness will lead to equipment damage.
The system employs a tracked mobile mechanism to drive a robotic arm and an inclined ramp buffer mechanism, combined with a sludge pump suction mechanism, an inclined ramp buffer mechanism, a sludge dispersion and lifting mechanism, and a crushing component. The inclined ramp buffer mechanism enables preliminary screening of the sludge, while the drive box drives the gears and dredging rods to rotate and clean the mesh. A hollow rotating rod injects high-pressure water to dilute the sludge, and the telescopic rod and return spring adapt to different resistance levels. The intercepting rod and the limiting rod form a secondary filter, and the robotic arm adjusts the rake head angle to adapt to complex terrain.
It effectively solves the problem of clogging of the rake head and pump suction channel when dredging equipment extracts high-viscosity or impurity-containing sludge, improves dredging efficiency, extends equipment life, avoids damage to the device by hard impurities, and achieves precise dredging in complex terrain.

[0002] The dredging and pollution removal of rivers, culverts, and open channels is a major challenge related to the physical and mental health of urban residents and the environmental protection of urban and rural areas. In particular, in the past two decades, with the continuous acceleration of my country's industrialization and rapid economic development, the accumulation, blockage, and pollution of rivers have become increasingly serious. The country has also continuously strengthened its policies and efforts in pollution control and environmental protection, and has implemented strict management of the treatment of rivers, culverts, and open channels in urban and rural municipal construction.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN202020027630.9 discloses "an underwater environmental remediation robot, comprising a support frame and a tracked chassis mounted at the bottom of the support frame, a vision module mounted on the support frame, and further comprising a bucket module, a debris removal module, a pumping module, a controller, and a hydraulic station. The robot operates as follows: during use, the controller activates the hydraulic station, which in turn drives the tracked chassis. After entering a culvert or underwater area, the controller activates the vision module to observe the surrounding environment and transmits the observed image data to a host computer on the ground. Workers then send instructions to the controller based on the image data. The controller transmits these instructions to the hydraulic station, which in turn controls the tracked chassis, the bucket module, the debris removal module, and the pumping module to operate according to the instructions for dredging work." However, the following defects still exist:

It solves the problems in existing dredging equipment where the rake head and pump suction channel are easily blocked when pumping high-viscosity or impurity-containing silt, leading to reduced efficiency or even shutdown for maintenance.

[0027] 3. This intelligent dredging robot for water conservancy projects utilizes a dredging mechanism with a crushing wheel and spiral blades working together to break up large pieces of dredging and lift them spirally, reducing pump load and preventing large particles from clogging the barrier net. This solves the problems in existing dredging equipment where the rake head and pump suction channel are easily clogged when pumping high-viscosity or impurity-containing dredging equipment, leading to reduced efficiency or even shutdown for maintenance. Large solid objects mixed in the dredging directly entering the pump suction system will aggravate wear, and the lack of an effective crushing and separation mechanism will shorten the equipment's lifespan.

[0046] Robotic arm 30 is installed at the front end of liquid storage tank 20;
[0047] The sludge pump suction mechanism 40 is installed on the top of the storage tank 20. The pump suction end of the sludge pump suction mechanism 40 is connected to a rake head 410 installed on the end of the robotic arm 30 away from the storage tank 20.
[0048] An inclined buffer mechanism 50 is installed on the inner wall of the rake head 410. The inclined buffer mechanism 50 includes inclined slide rails 510 evenly installed within the cavity of the rake head 410. A barrier net 60 is fixedly connected between adjacent slide rails 510. A sliding groove 520 is formed on the outer wall of the slide rail 510, and evenly distributed tooth grooves 530 are formed on the groove wall of the sliding groove 520. A drive box 70 is installed on the inner wall of the slide rail 510. A telescopic rod 540 connects the outer wall of the drive box 70 to the inner wall of the slide rail 510. A fixed connection is also made between the outer wall of the drive box 70 and the inner wall of the slide rail 510. The return spring 550 is fitted on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 540. The slide rail 510 is made of 42CrMo alloy steel with a hard chrome plating (thickness 0.15mm). The tilt angle is designed to be adjustable at 55±5° to adapt to different viscosities of sludge (500-1500cP). The barrier mesh 60 is made of 316L stainless steel woven mesh with a gradient distribution of mesh size (10mm on the upper layer and 5mm on the lower layer). The return spring 550 adopts a non-linear stiffness design with an initial stiffness of 50N / mm. When the compression exceeds 20mm, the stiffness increases to 120N / mm, which ensures both buffering effect and avoids excessive displacement.
[0049] The sludge dispersion and lifting mechanism 80 is installed at the output end of the drive box 70.
[0050] in,
[0051] The sludge dispersion and lifting mechanism 80 includes a crushing component and a lifting component installed at the output end of the drive box 70;
[0052] In this embodiment, the tracked mobile mechanism 10 includes a mobile track and a tracked drive chassis. A hydraulic station is mounted on the tracked drive chassis 120, comprising an oil tank, a hydraulic pump, and hydraulic lines. Both the oil tank and the hydraulic pump are mounted on the chassis. The hydraulic station drives the mobile track mechanism to move. The mobile track 110 is made of rubber or metal. The tracked drive chassis is a hydraulically driven steel frame chassis. Operators operate the tracked mobile mechanism 10 via an external control box 90. It employs a fully sealed hydraulic drive track system equipped with a pressure adaptive balancing device, enabling stable operation on slopes of 0-30°. The track surface features an interlaced anti-slip texture design, increasing grip by 40%. Combined with an IP68-rated hydraulic motor, it ensures continuous operation at a depth of 5 meters underwater for at least 200 hours.
[0053] The liquid storage tank 20 uses a double-layer 304 stainless steel body with polyurethane insulation filling the interlayer to maintain the liquid temperature within ±2℃. It features a dual-compartment design with a main compartment (3m³). 3 / Sub-cabin 1.5m 3 Equipped with an ultrasonic level gauge and turbidity sensor, it automatically switches to the auxiliary compartment when the liquid level in the main compartment reaches 85%, and simultaneously activates a sludge discharge warning.
[0054] The 210 liquid pump is a frequency converter-controlled magnetic drive pump with an adjustable flow range (5-30 m³ / h). 3 The pressure is stable at 0.8-1.2 MPa, and it is equipped with a self-cleaning filter that automatically backwashes for 30 seconds every 2 hours of operation.
[0055] The robotic arm 30 is a six-degree-of-freedom hydraulic robotic arm made of carbon fiber composite material, with a load capacity of up to 200 kg. The end-effector positioning accuracy is ±2 mm.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The outer wall of the drive box 70 is rotatably connected to a gear 610 that meshes with the gear tooth groove 530. The outer wall of the gear 610 is fixedly connected to a driven rod 620. The outer wall of the driven rod 620 is fixedly connected to evenly distributed unblocking rods 630. The unblocking rods 630 cooperate with the mesh of the barrier net 60. When the drive box 70 slides along the slide rail 510, it drives the gear 610 to rotate along the gear groove 530, thereby driving the unblocking rods 630 to unblock the mesh of the barrier net 60 and prevent blockage.
[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The drive box 70 includes a housing 710 slidably connected within the slide rail 510. A drive gear 720 driven by a motor is installed on the inner top wall of the housing 710. A hollow rotating rod 730 extending outward through the housing 710 is rotatably connected to the housing 710. The outer side wall of the hollow rotating rod 730 has evenly distributed openings, and a one-way valve 740 is installed at each opening. A driven gear ring 750 that meshes with the drive gear 720 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the hollow rotating rod 730. When the sludge resistance is too high or the hardness is too high, the drive box 70 moves backward along the slide rail 510, compressing the return spring 550 to buffer the impact. When the resistance decreases, the spring pushes the drive box to return to its original position, maintaining continuous operation.
[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The lifting assembly includes a spiral blade 810 fitted on the outer wall of the hollow rotating rod 730. The diameter of the spiral blade 810 gradually decreases along the direction away from the housing 710 of the hollow rotating rod 730. The hollow rotating rod 730 drives the spiral blade 810 to rotate, and the spiral blade with the gradually decreasing diameter transports the crushed sludge upward to the top of the rake head 410.
[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The bottom end of the hollow rotating rod 730 is connected to a transmission box 820. One end of the hollow rotating rod 730 passing through the transmission box 820 is fixedly connected to a transmission bevel gear 830. The inner wall of the transmission box 820 is connected via a rotating shaft to a driven bevel gear 840 that meshes with the transmission bevel gear 830. The end of the rotating shaft away from the driven bevel gear 840 extends outward through the transmission box 820, and the extended end of the rotating shaft is connected to a crushing wheel 850. A protrusion that slides into the sliding groove 520 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive box 70. A crossbar 860 is rotatably connected to one side of the protrusion passing through the sliding groove. A limit rod 870 connects the outer wall of the crushing wheel 850 to the end of the crossbar 860 away from the protrusion. The drive gear 720 inside the drive box 70 drives the hollow rotating rod 730 to rotate. The transmission bevel gear 830 meshes with the driven bevel gear 840, driving the crushing wheel 850 to rotate at high speed. The crushing wheel 850 crushes lumpy sludge or residual debris, reducing the subsequent pump suction load. The crossbar 860 and the limit rod 870 limit the swing amplitude of the crushing wheel 850. The crushing wheel 850 adopts a staggered wolf-tooth blade structure with the blades arranged in a 45° spiral angle, achieving a crushing efficiency of 8m³ / s. 3 / h. A speed difference is formed between the spiral blade 810 and the crushing wheel (1200 rpm / 800 rpm), generating a vortex crushing effect. The lead of the spiral blade 810 decreases according to the golden ratio (300 mm for the first turn / 180 mm for the last turn), achieving stable material conveying. The limit rod 870 has a built-in shape memory alloy (Ni-Ti). When the temperature exceeds 60℃, it automatically bends by 15°, expanding the interception area by 20%, and returns to its original shape after cooling.
[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The adjacent limit rods 870 are connected by evenly distributed intercepting rods 880, which form a secondary filter to prevent debris from splashing.
[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A liquid pump 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 20. The pump 210 is connected to a pump pipe 220 that communicates with the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank 20. The pump 210 is connected to a water delivery pipe 230. The end of the water delivery pipe 230 away from the pump 210 is connected to a diversion pipe 240. The end of the diversion pipe 240 away from the water delivery pipe 230 is rotatably connected to the end of the hollow rotating rod 730 that passes through the tank 70. The pump 210 draws clean water from the liquid storage tank 20 and injects it into the hollow rotating rod 730 through the water delivery pipe 230 and the diversion pipe 240. The high-pressure water is sprayed out through the opening of the one-way valve 740 and mixed with the sludge to reduce its viscosity and improve its fluidity. The sludge is lifted to the top of the rake head 410 by the spiral blade 810.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sludge pump suction mechanism 40 includes a sludge pump 420 installed on the top of the storage tank 20. The sludge pump 420 has a sludge suction pipe 430 connected to the rake head 410 at the sludge inlet end and a sludge discharge pipe 440 connected at the sludge outlet end. When the sludge pump 420 is started: the barrier net 60 further intercepts small debris, allowing only the more fluid sludge to pass through the mesh to enter the next stage. The sludge suction pipe 430 sucks in the pre-treated sludge and connects to an external pipeline through the sludge discharge pipe 440 to achieve continuous sludge discharge. The electrical control box 90 monitors the liquid level of the storage tank 20 in real time. When the tank is full, the operation is paused or switched to the sludge discharge mode.
[0063] Employing a two-stage cyclone pump 420, the maximum throughput particle size is increased to 50mm. The impeller is made of tungsten steel-rubber composite material, with a wear life of up to 2000 hours. It is equipped with a pneumatic butterfly valve (not shown in the diagram), which can complete pipeline switching within 0.5 seconds.
[0064] The 430 sludge suction pipe is lined with polyurethane elastomer and features spiral guide ribs, which increase the pipe wall shear rate by 30% and effectively inhibit sludge deposition. The pipe diameter is designed to be variable (250mm inlet / 200mm outlet) to maintain a flow velocity of 2.5-3m / s.
[0065] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rake head 410 has a guide plate 450 on its inner side wall and evenly distributed rake teeth 460 on its inner side wall. A guide groove is opened on the back of the rake head 410. An electrical control box 90 is set on the outer side wall of the storage tank 20. The tracked mobile mechanism 10 carries the robot into the working area such as rivers and reservoirs, adapting to complex terrain such as mud and slopes. The electrical control box 90 controls the robotic arm 30 to adjust the angle and depth of the rake head 410 so that it inserts into the target silt layer. The robotic arm 30 adjusts the pitch angle according to the preset program or remote command to ensure that the rake teeth 460 are inserted into the silt. The guide plate 450 guides the silt to concentrate into the inner cavity of the rake head 410. The guide groove on the back prevents the silt from overflowing. The electrical control box 90 is equipped with an industrial-grade PLC and an edge computing module, and integrates 12 types of sensor data through the MODBUS protocol.

[0067] The drive gear 720 inside the drive box 70 drives the hollow rotating rod 730 to rotate. The transmission bevel gear 830 meshes with the driven bevel gear 840, driving the crushing wheel 850 to rotate at high speed. The crushing wheel 850 crushes the blocky sludge or residual debris, reducing the subsequent pump suction load. The cross bar 860 and the limit bar 870 limit the swing amplitude of the crushing wheel 850. The intercepting bar 880 forms a secondary filter screen to prevent fragments from splashing.
[0068] When the silt resistance is too high or the hardness is too high, the drive box 70 moves backward along the slide rail 510, compressing the reset spring 550 to buffer the impact; when the resistance decreases, the spring pushes the drive box to reset, maintaining continuous operation.
[0069] When the drive box 70 slides along the slide rail 510, it drives the gear 610 to rotate along the gear groove 530, which in turn drives the unblocking rod 630 to unblock the mesh of the barrier net 60 and prevent blockage.
