Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of culvert dredging, and in particular to an on-line dredging device for a water supply culvert and a dredging method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A culvert is a water conveyance culvert with a large rectangular cross-section. After the culvert has been in operation for a period of time, silt will accumulate at the bottom of the culvert, and it is necessary to remove the silt in the culvert.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning silt, generally, after closing the gate to stop the water conveyance, manual cleaning is carried out, or a small excavator is driven for cleaning. This method requires the culvert to stop water conveyance, and it is necessary to transport the silt back and forth, and the dredging efficiency is also low.

[0004] In the prior art, Chinese patent document CN218757885U, publication (announcement) date: Mar. 28, 2023, discloses a traveling mechanism for a dredging device, including a fixing device, a hydraulic telescopic device, and a floating box for providing buoyancy; the fixing device includes a retractable upper tightening device and a lower tightening device, and when the upper tightening device and the lower tightening device extend, they are used to fix the traveling mechanism; the dredging device can be fixed in a pipeline or culvert to be dredged; one end of the hydraulic telescopic device is connected to the floating box, and the other end is connected to the dredging device, and is used to push the dredging device forward or pull the traveling mechanism forward. Although this mechanism can carry out dredging, when dredging, the dredging device will block the water flow in the culvert, and at the same time, it will also make the water body in the culvert seriously turbid. If it is directly used inside a water supply culvert, the turbid water will increase the production burden of the downstream water treatment plant. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the current technical problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide an on-line dredging device for a water supply culvert and a dredging method thereof, which can carry out dredging under the condition of non-stop water, and can reduce the turbidity of the water body and reduce the production burden of the downstream water treatment plant when dredging.

[0006] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an on-line dredging device for a water supply culvert, including a frame, a driving device, and a dredging bucket. The driving device is installed on the frame, and the frame is guided to move along the length direction of the culvert on the track structure in the culvert through the driving device. The dredging bucket is installed on the lower side of the frame, and a partition is installed in the middle of the dredging bucket. The partition divides the interior of the dredging bucket into a flow-through chamber and a silt chamber. The flow-through chamber runs through from front to back, and a collecting hopper is installed at the rear end of the silt chamber; in the use state, the collecting hopper is connected to a mud suction device through a hose.

[0007] The driving device includes at least two rotating shafts and at least one first driver. The rotating shafts are installed on the frame through two bearing seats. Track wheels are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shafts, and the track wheels are placed on the track structures on the upper sides of the inner side walls of the culvert. The first driver is installed on the frame and is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft.

[0008] The track structure includes a support member and a rack. Support members are installed on the upper sides of the inner side walls of both sides of the culvert. A wheel groove is provided inside the support member, and a rack is installed on the lower side of the wheel groove. The wheel surface of the track wheel is a gear structure, and the track wheel rolls on the rack.

[0009] A plurality of pressing wheels are installed on the top of the frame.

[0010] It further includes a dispersing device. The dispersing device includes a second driver and a first longitudinal shaft. The second driver is installed on the frame. The upper end of the first longitudinal shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second driver. The lower end of the first longitudinal shaft extends into the silt bin, and dispersing rods are installed on the first longitudinal shaft inside the silt bin.

[0011] The dispersing device further includes a second longitudinal shaft. The second longitudinal shaft is rotationally connected to the frame and the dredging bucket. The upper end of the second longitudinal shaft is in transmission connection with the first longitudinal shaft through a transmission structure, and the dispersing rods are also installed at the lower end of the second longitudinal shaft.

[0012] A front shovel is installed at the front end of the silt bin. The front shovel expands outward in a trumpet shape, and a plurality of limiting wheels are installed on the outer side walls of both sides of the dredging bucket.

[0013] A filter screen is installed at the rear end of the flow-through bin.

[0014] A sludge pump is installed at the small-mouth end of the collection hopper, and the outlet end of the sludge pump is connected to a hose.

[0015] An on-line dredging method for a water supply culvert adopts the on-line dredging device for a water supply culvert as described above. The dredging method includes the following steps: S1. Install the dredging device into the culvert, and place and support the driving device on the track structure inside the culvert. S2. Install the collection hopper at the rear end of the silt bin, and then connect the collection hopper to the mud suction device through a hose. S3. Start the driving device to drive the frame to move along the length direction of the culvert. During this process, the silt at the bottom of the culvert is shoveled into the silt bin for collection by the dredging bucket. Then, the mud suction device is started, a negative pressure is generated in the collection hopper, and under the action of the mud suction device, the silt enters the mud suction device through the hose, and the water flow on the upper side flows downstream through the flow-through bin. S4. After dredging, disassemble the collection hopper and the hose, and the water flow passes through the flow-through bin and the silt bin.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The overflow chamber of the present invention is used for overflow, without affecting the downstream water supply. The silt chamber is used to shovel up silt into the collection head. The sludge suction device provides negative pressure for the silt chamber through a hose, so that the silt is sucked in from the collection head and then enters the sludge suction device for collection without overflowing. This enables the present invention to carry out silt cleaning under the condition of non-stop water supply, and during silt cleaning, it can reduce water turbidity and reduce the production burden of the downstream water treatment plant.

[0017] 2. The track structure of the present invention includes a support member and a rack. The support members are installed on the upper sides of the two inner side walls of the culvert box.

Moreover, the support member is embedded in the inner wall of the concrete-structured culvert box. After the installation of the culvert box is completed, the track structure is formed, and there is no need to install the track structure additionally, making it more convenient to install the silt cleaning device of the present application later.

[0018] 3. The present invention further includes a dispersing device, which disperses the lumpy silt to facilitate suction into the sludge suction device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The silt - cleaning hopper 30 is installed on the lower side of the frame 10. A partition plate 31 is installed in the middle of the silt - cleaning hopper 30. The partition plate 31 divides the interior of the silt - cleaning hopper 30 into a flow - through bin 32 and a silt bin 33. The flow - through bin 32 runs through from front to back, and a collection hopper 35 is installed at the rear end of the silt bin 33; in the use state, the collection hopper 35 is connected to the silt - suction device 80 through a hose 82. The flow - through bin 32 is used for water flow - through without affecting the downstream water supply. The silt bin 33 is used to shovel up silt into the collection head 35. The silt - suction device 80 provides negative pressure for the silt bin 33 through the hose 82, so that the silt is sucked from the collection head 35 and then enters the silt - suction device 80 for collection without overflowing. This enables the present invention to carry out silt - cleaning under the condition of not stopping water, and during silt - cleaning, it can reduce water turbidity and reduce the production burden of the downstream water treatment plant.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hose 82 is a steel wire hose, which has good radial support and good flexibility in the axial direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sludge suction device 80 is a sewage suction truck.

[0032] See Figure 1-4 , the driving device 20 includes at least two rotating shafts 22 and at least one first driver 25. The rotating shafts 22 are installed on the frame 10 through two bearing seats 21. Track wheels 23 are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 22, and the track wheels 23 are placed on the track structures on the upper sides of the two inner side walls of the culvert 1; the first driver 25 is installed on the frame 10, and the first driver 25 is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft 22. By driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate through the first driver 25, the track wheels 23 are driven to rotate, so that the frame 10 moves along the track structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 , two rotating shafts 22 are installed, and two first drivers 25 are provided. The two first drivers 25 are respectively in transmission connection with the two rotating shafts 22, so as to have greater driving force. The first driver 25 is a reduction motor.
