Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mining equipment, in particular to an ice particle abrasive jet flow generation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of deep-sea mining operation, polymetallic nodule collection, sediment disturbance and plume deposition, as well as plume waste discharge, not only cause damage to the seabed topography, but also have adverse effects on the entire marine water body and seabed biological habitat environment. As a core component, the mining mechanism directly contacts the seabed, determining the mineral collection efficiency and sediment disturbance degree. The commonly used mining mechanisms at present are mechanical, hydraulic and hydraulic-mechanical composite types. For example, a deep-sea mining head device is provided in the Chinese patent application file with the patent application number CN202411209690.1; a magnetic flocculation device for deep-sea mining tail water discharge plume treatment is provided in the Chinese patent application file with the patent application number CN202410996311.1. In the prior art, the deep-sea mining vehicle directly cuts and crushes the seabed stratum through the mechanical cutter or drill bit installed at the front end, which will cause rapid wear of the mechanical cutter. At the same time, the mining process will generate high heat, accelerating the wear of the mechanical cutter. Considering the deep-sea mining operation scene at the deep-sea seabed, the maintenance of the mining vehicle is difficult, which will seriously affect the mining efficiency, and even cause deformation or damage of the mechanical cutter, resulting in interruption of the mining operation.

[0003] Secondly, when the mechanical cutter of the deep-sea mining vehicle crushes the seabed stratum, a large amount of clay particles will be raised and diffused into the surrounding seawater, forming a so-called plume. The diffusion, suspension and backfall of the plume will seriously affect the visibility of the mining vehicle, causing movement obstruction, and will also interfere with deep-sea organisms and damage the seabed ecological environment. In addition, the water jet carried by the deep-sea mining vehicle in the prior art is a conventional high-pressure water jet. Due to the limitation of the deep-sea operation depth, a very large power consumption is required to overcome the effective damage of the deep-sea confining pressure to the seabed soil and rock stratum, resulting in very low mining efficiency of the polymetallic nodule by the mining vehicle under high energy consumption.

[0004] The abrasive jet often uses waste recycling as the abrasive, which can cause waste to flow into the seabed and cause marine pollution. To prevent marine pollution, some designs replace the conventional abrasive with ice abrasive. For example, the Chinese patent application No. CN112809556A provides a self-circulating ice particle abrasive jet breaking method and device, the Chinese patent No. CN201710519912.3 discloses a liquid nitrogen and ice particle abrasive jet method and its generating device, and other technologies, which all mention using ice particles as abrasives for abrasive jet mining. However, the above-mentioned technologies still have the following common problems: it is difficult to prepare ice particles, which can cause a large amount of resource loss during the preparation process; the particle size of the ice particles cannot be controlled, resulting in unstable ice particle abrasive jet impact force, unstable mining rock breaking efficiency, increased energy consumption, and complex ice particle group phase interaction mechanism in the submerged environment. The movement and speed distribution of ice particles in the seabed have not been accurately revealed, and the coupling effect of ice particles and sea currents needs to be explained, which can bring difficulties to the precise control of the seabed ice particle jet and cause a large amount of energy loss.

During the spraying process, the speed gradually decreases, and the liquid nitrogen and the dyeing water develop and gradually atomize and diffuse. This is reflected in the fact that the diameter of the speed cloud map gradually increases and the speed color gradually becomes lighter. The atomized liquid nitrogen and the dyeing water collide at 400 mm. After the collision, they are quickly mixed and heat exchanged. After the convection heat exchange, the temperature of the liquid nitrogen is 186K, and the temperature of the dyeing water is 250K. The temperature of the dyeing water is lower than 273.15K, and the dyeing water freezes to form ice particles, which fall downward and are filtered by the filter screen 3 and then enter the ice particle tank 5 for standby use. The simulation verifies that the 20° taper angle can be beneficial to the development and flow of the liquid inside the nozzle, and the 45° elevation angle can effectively realize the atomization of the dyeing water and the sufficient mixing and heat exchange with the liquid nitrogen.
