Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cultural relic cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning pool for underwater cultural relic dredging. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of underwater archaeology, the research and protection of marine artifacts recovered from the sea have received increasing attention and importance, becoming an important branch of cultural relic protection. These artifacts, having been immersed in seawater for a long time and subjected to the long-term effects of marine organisms and calcareous materials such as sea mud, accumulate a large amount of salt. After being salvaged, due to changes in environmental factors, this salt repeatedly dissolves, crystallizes, and recrystallizes, leading to corrosion and damage to the artifacts. For example, ceramics may experience glaze detachment, becoming brittle and fragile, and metals may suffer accelerated corrosion. Simultaneously, the salvaged artifacts also bear a considerable amount of dirt. Therefore, cleaning and desalination are crucial for better protecting these artifacts. Most current cleaning devices place the artifacts on a screen in a pool, filtering out seabed sediment and large solid impurities during the cleaning process. However, this method has several problems: 1. The screen mesh is easily clogged, affecting the subsequent cleaning effect; moreover, cleaning the screen is time-consuming, water-intensive, and labor-intensive; 2. The cleaning process also consumes a significant amount of water resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning pool for underwater cultural relics dredging, which solves the problems of easy clogging of the screen mesh and high water consumption during the cleaning process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a cleaning pool for underwater cultural relic dredging is provided, comprising a cleaning pool body and a cleaning pool support. The cleaning pool body has an overflow outlet, a middle drain outlet and a bottom drain outlet at one end from top to bottom. The overflow outlet, the middle drain outlet and the bottom drain outlet are connected together by a drainage pipe.

[0005] The main body of the cleaning tank is equipped with several sedimentation screen components. Each sedimentation screen component includes a sedimentation screen support, a coarse sedimentation screen, a medium sedimentation screen, and a fine sedimentation screen. The bottom edge of the sedimentation screen support has a stepped edge protrusion. The fine, medium, and coarse sedimentation screens are sequentially installed on the stepped edge protrusion. The stepped edge protrusion supporting the fine sedimentation screen has a first protrusion. The upper edge of the fine sedimentation screen has a first annular conveying pipe. The lower end face of the first annular conveying pipe has a first groove corresponding to the first protrusion. The inner side of the first annular conveying pipe has minor interference flow holes. The stepped edge protrusion supporting the medium sedimentation screen has a second protrusion. The upper edge of the medium sedimentation screen has a second annular conveying pipe. The lower end face of the second annular conveying pipe has a second groove corresponding to the second protrusion. The inner side of the second annular conveying pipe has minor interference flow holes.

[0006] The first protrusion and the second protrusion are connected by a conveying pipe, the inlet of which is located on the sedimentation screen support; a solenoid valve is connected to the inlet, and both the solenoid valve and the drainage pipe are connected to a water pump.

[0007] Furthermore, a first magnet is provided on the first annular conveying pipe and the second annular conveying pipe, and a second magnet is provided on the lower bottom edge of the coarse sedimentation screen and the medium sedimentation screen. The first magnet and the second magnet repel each other and are spaced apart by a set distance.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first protrusion and the second protrusion are frustum-shaped protrusions.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the cleaning pool support is equipped with height-adjustable support feet.

[0010] Furthermore, the height-adjustable support foot is an adjusting bolt.

[0011] Furthermore, the sedimentation screen support has vertically arranged U-shaped handles on the top surface of both ends.

[0012] Furthermore, the coarse sedimentation screen, the medium sedimentation screen, and the fine sedimentation screen are provided with horizontally arranged U-shaped handles at the upper part of both ends of their inner sides.

[0013] Furthermore, the overflow port is provided with an overflow pipe, the intermediate drain port is provided with an intermediate drain pipe and an intermediate drain valve, and the bottom drain port is provided with a bottom drain pipe and a bottom drain valve. The overflow pipe, the intermediate drain valve and the bottom drain valve are connected together through a drain pipe. The end of the drain pipe is a drain pipe interface, and the drain pipe interface is connected to the water pump through a pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the main body of the cleaning tank is provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet is provided with a water inlet ball valve.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body of the cleaning pool is equipped with water pipe hooks.

[0016] Principles and advantages:

[0017] 1. During cleaning, fill the main body of the cleaning tank with clean water, place an appropriate number of sedimentation screen components on the main body of the cleaning tank, select an appropriate amount of cultural relics to be cleaned and filtered and put them into the coarse sedimentation screen, start the water pump to circulate the water, and the water flow is transported through the conveying pipes on the sedimentation screen support to the first and second protrusions. The water then enters the first and second annular conveying pipes respectively through the first and second protrusions. The opening degree of the solenoid valve controls the water flow speed, thereby controlling the medium and fine sedimentation screens to vibrate up and down within a small range, forming an up-and-down turbulent water flow. At the same time, the water flow sprayed from the first and second annular conveying pipes vibrates up and down, thus forming a more complex turbulent water flow, and further purifying the fine impurities filtered by the fine sedimentation screen. This dual water flow turbulence prevents impurities from clogging the medium and fine sedimentation screens, continuously ensuring the screening effect of the medium and fine sedimentation screens. By using the mutual repulsion of the first and second magnets and the spacing between them, along with the frustum-shaped protrusion, the medium and fine sedimentation screens can vibrate more easily and reset more easily, which is conducive to generating turbulent water flow.

[0018] 2. The main body of the cleaning tank has an overflow port, a middle drain port, and a bottom drain port from top to bottom at one end. The overflow port is equipped with an overflow pipe, the middle drain port is equipped with a middle drain pipe and a middle drain valve, and the bottom drain port is equipped with a bottom drain pipe and a bottom drain valve. The overflow pipe, the middle drain valve, and the bottom drain valve are connected together by a drain pipe. The end of the drain pipe is a drain pipe interface, which is connected to a water pump through a pipe. After the water has settled, the corresponding middle drain valve or bottom drain valve can be opened to complete water recovery or water circulation.

[0019] 3. When the sedimentation screen assembly needs cleaning, the sedimentation screen support, coarse sedimentation screen, medium sedimentation screen, and fine sedimentation screen can be separated using the U-shaped handle for individual cleaning. For cleaning the bottom of the main body of the cleaning tank, first drain the wastewater through the bottom drain outlet, then flush in clean water or water that has been allowed to settle and separate into layers through the inlet ball valve.

[0020] 4. Adjusting bolts can fine-tune the stability of the cleaning tank support in contact with the ground. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example

[0027] A cleaning pool for underwater cultural relic dredging, basically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a cleaning tank body 3 and a cleaning tank support 1. The cleaning tank support 1 has height-adjustable support feet 2 at its bottom, which are adjusted by bolts. One end of the cleaning tank body 3 has an overflow port, a middle drain port, and a bottom drain port from top to bottom. The overflow port, middle drain port, and bottom drain port are connected together by a drainage pipe. The overflow port has an overflow pipe 11, the middle drain port has a middle drain pipe 4 and a middle drain valve 8, and the bottom drain port has a bottom drain pipe 5 and a bottom drain valve 6. The overflow pipe 11, the middle drain valve 8, and the bottom drain valve 6 are connected together by a drainage pipe. The end of the drainage pipe is a drain pipe interface 7, which is connected to a water pump via a pipe.

[0028] The main body of the cleaning tank is provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet is provided with a water inlet ball valve 9. The main body of the cleaning tank is provided with a water pipe hook 10. The water inlet ball valve 9, the water pipe hook 10, as well as the overflow port, the intermediate drain port and the bottom drain port are located on the same side of the main body of the cleaning tank 3.

[0029] The main body 3 of the cleaning tank is equipped with several sedimentation screen assemblies 12. Each sedimentation screen assembly 12 includes a sedimentation screen support 12-1, a coarse sedimentation screen 12-2, a medium sedimentation screen 12-3, and a fine sedimentation screen 12-4. The sedimentation screen support 12-1 has a stepped edge protrusion inside. The fine sedimentation screen 12-4, medium sedimentation screen 12-3, and coarse sedimentation screen 12-2 are sequentially installed on the stepped edge protrusion. The stepped edge protrusion supporting the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 has a first protrusion 14. The upper edge of the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 has a second protrusion 14. A ring-shaped conveying pipe 13 is provided. The lower end face of the first ring-shaped conveying pipe 13 is provided with a first groove corresponding to the first protrusion 14. The inner side of the first ring-shaped conveying pipe 13 is provided with a few interference flow holes. A second protrusion 16 is provided on the stepped edge protrusion supporting the intermediate sedimentation screen 12-3. A second ring-shaped conveying pipe 15 is provided on the upper edge of the intermediate sedimentation screen 12-3. The lower end face of the second ring-shaped conveying pipe 15 is provided with a second groove corresponding to the second protrusion 16. The inner side of the second ring-shaped conveying pipe 15 is provided with a few interference flow holes. The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 16 are both frustum-shaped protrusions.

[0030] The first annular conveying pipe 13 and the second annular conveying pipe 15 are provided with a first magnet 19, and the bottom edge of the coarse sedimentation screen 12-2 and the medium sedimentation screen 12-3 are provided with a second magnet 20. The first magnet 19 and the second magnet 20 repel each other and are spaced apart by a set distance.

[0031] The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 16 are connected by a conveying pipe, the inlet of which is located on the sedimentation screen support 12-1. A solenoid valve is connected to the inlet, and both the solenoid valve and the drain pipe are connected to a water pump. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to a controller, which controls the opening degree of the solenoid valve. The controller uses a conventional microcontroller.

[0032] The sedimentation screen support 12-1 has vertical U-shaped handles 18 on its upper sides at both ends. The coarse sedimentation screen 12-2, the medium sedimentation screen 12-3, and the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 have horizontally arranged U-shaped handles 18 on their upper inner sides at both ends. The coarse sedimentation screen 12-2, the medium sedimentation screen 12-3, and the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 are installed and removed using the U-shaped handles 18.

[0033] During cleaning, clean water is injected into the main body 3 of the cleaning tank. A suitable number of sedimentation screen components 12 are placed on the main body 3 of the cleaning tank. An appropriate amount of cultural relics that need to be cleaned and filtered is placed into the coarse sedimentation screen 12-2. The water pump is started to circulate the water. The water flow is transported through the conveying pipe on the sedimentation screen support 12-1 to the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 16. The water then enters the first annular conveying pipe 13 and the second annular conveying pipe 15 through the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 16, respectively. The speed of the water flow is controlled by the opening of the solenoid valve, thereby controlling the medium sedimentation screen 12-3 and the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 to vibrate up and down within a small range, forming a water flow with up and down disturbance. At the same time, the water flow sprayed from the first annular conveying pipe 13 and the second annular conveying pipe 15 vibrates up and down, thereby forming a more complex water flow with disturbance. The fine impurities filtered by the fine sedimentation screen 12-4 are also removed. The dual water flow disturbance prevents impurities from clogging the medium sedimentation screen 12-3 and the fine sedimentation screen 12-4, ensuring their screening effect. Furthermore, the mutual repulsion and predetermined distance between the first magnet 19 and the second magnet 20, combined with the frustum-shaped protrusion, facilitates the up-and-down vibration and repositioning of the medium sedimentation screen 12-3 and the fine sedimentation screen 12-4, thus promoting the generation of disturbed water flow.
