Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A sand-laying device for a trailing suction dredger includes a rake shell 1, a connecting pipe 2 fixedly installed on one side of the rake shell 1, a mud-lifting component installed inside the rake shell 1, a mud-transporting channel 3 connected to the connecting pipe 2 inside the rake shell 1, an arc-shaped grid 4 installed at the front end of the rake shell 1 at the mud-transporting channel 3, an anti-clogging mechanism installed on the arc-shaped grid 4, a processing trough 5 for placing stones fixedly installed inside the rake shell 1, a crushing mechanism installed on the upper side of the processing trough 5, a filter plate 501 connected to the mud-transporting channel 3 installed at the bottom of the processing trough 5, and a working shell 6 fixedly installed on the outer side of the rake shell 1, a drive unit for driving the mud-lifting component, the anti-clogging mechanism and the crushing mechanism inside the working shell 6.

[0024] Furthermore, a flange 201 is connected to the end of the connecting pipe 2 away from the mud rake housing 1, and a suction pipe is connected to the connecting pipe 2 through the flange 201.

[0025] Specifically, when the mud rake shell 1 is pumping silt from the bottom of the river, the drive unit works and drives the mud-lifting assembly to start the silt from the bottom of the river. The silt is suctioned through the arc-shaped grid 4, and the stones trapped in the silt are intercepted by the arc-shaped grid 4. The silt passes through the mud conveying channel 3 and the connecting pipe 2 in sequence, and is finally pumped out by the suction pipe. When the drive unit works, it also drives the anti-blocking mechanism to act. The anti-blocking mechanism breaks up the small stones stuck in the holes of the arc-shaped grid 4. When the mud-lifting assembly acts, it moves the stones intercepted at the arc-shaped grid 4 to the treatment tank 5. The crushing mechanism crushes the stones in the treatment tank 5, thereby avoiding the stones from blocking the grid and causing the silt suction speed to be slow, thus improving the work of the dredger.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the arc-shaped grid 4 includes a plurality of arc-shaped rods 401 fixed at the front end of the mud conveying channel 3 and a plurality of crossbars 402 for connecting the plurality of arc-shaped rods 401. The plurality of crossbars 402 and the arc-shaped rods 401 are arranged alternately, and the top of the arc-shaped rods 401 is connected to the treatment tank 5.

[0027] Furthermore, the anti-clogging mechanism includes multiple movable blocks 8 slidably connected to the arc-shaped grid 4. The movable blocks 8 are slidably connected to the arc-shaped rod 401. A connecting rod 801 is connected between two adjacent movable blocks 8 in the horizontal direction. A first breaking rod 802 is fixed on the connecting rod 801. A connecting plate 803 is connected between two adjacent movable blocks 8 in the vertical plane.

[0028] Specifically, the arc-shaped rod 401 and the crossbar 402 are staggered to form an opening for silt to pass through. When the anti-clogging mechanism is working, the connecting plate 803 drives the moving block 8 to slide up and down along the arc-shaped rod 401. When the moving block 8 slides up and down, it drives the first crushing rod 802 to move through the connecting rod 801, so that the first crushing rod 802 can crush the small stones stuck on the arc-shaped grid 4, so as to prevent the stones from blocking the grid and causing the silt to be sucked in slowly, thus improving the work of the dredger.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the crushing mechanism includes a baffle 9 slidably connected to the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1, a support plate 901 fixed on the baffle 9, and a second crushing rod 902 disposed on the lower side of the support plate 901. The baffle 9 is provided with a track groove 903, and a guide rod 8031 ​​slidably in the track groove 903 is fixed on the connecting plate 803.

[0030] Specifically, when the crushing mechanism is working, the baffle 9 slides on the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1. When the baffle 9 moves up and down, it drives the second crushing rod 902 to crush the stones placed in the processing tank 5 through the support plate 901. When the baffle 9 moves up and down, it applies a force to the guide rod 8031 ​​through the track groove 903, which in turn causes the guide rod 8031 ​​to drive the connecting plate 803 to slide up and down along the arc rod 401, so that the anti-blocking mechanism works automatically.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the driving unit includes a hydraulic cylinder 10 fixed in the mud rake housing 1. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is connected to a movable block 1001 connected to the baffle 9. The mud rake housing 1 is provided with a movable groove 11 for sliding of the movable block 1001.

[0032] Specifically, when the drive unit is working, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is controlled to move up and down reciprocally. The piston rod drives the movable block 1001 to move back and forth in the movable groove 11. When the movable block 1001 moves, it drives the baffle 9 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1, so that the crushing mechanism and the anti-blocking mechanism work.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mud-lifting assembly includes a rotating rod 7 rotatably connected inside the mud rake housing 1, and a plurality of mud-shoveling blades 704 are evenly arranged on the rotating rod 7 in a circular pattern.

[0034] Furthermore, a rotating disk 12 is fixedly provided at the end of the rotating rod 7, and a positioning rod 121 is fixedly provided on the rotating disk 12. The mud rake housing 1 is rotatably connected to a swing plate 13 via a pin. A recessed hole 131 for the positioning rod 121 to move is provided on the swing plate 13. A fixed rod 1002 that moves within the recessed hole 131 is fixedly provided on the movable block 1001.

[0035] Furthermore, the central axis of the arc-shaped grille 4 and the rotating rod 7 are aligned with each other.

[0036] Specifically, when the movable block 1001 moves up and down, it moves within the recess 131 via the fixed rod 1002, thereby causing the swing plate 13 to rotate around the pin at the connection point with the mud rake housing 1. When the swing plate 13 swings back and forth, it drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate via the positioning rod 121. When the rotating disk 12 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 7 and the mud shovel 704 on the outside of the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The mud shovel 704 shovels the silt at the bottom of the river and moves along the outer wall of the arc-shaped grid 4, so that the mud shovel 704 pushes the stones intercepted on the outside of the arc-shaped grid 4 into the treatment tank 5.

[0037] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the rotating rod 7 includes an elastic telescopic rod 701 rotatably connected to both sides of the mud rake housing 1 and a rotating shaft 702 disposed between the two elastic telescopic rods 701. A connecting plate 703 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 702. An extrusion inclined surface is provided on the connecting plate 703. A top rod 14 is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the mud rake housing 1 and moves against the extrusion inclined surface.

[0038] Specifically, when the rotating rod 7 rotates, the pressing slope on the outer side of the connecting plate 703 abuts against the top rod 14, so that during the period when the top rod 14 abuts against the pressing slope of the rotating connecting plate 703, the elastic telescopic rod 701 automatically stretches or contracts, thereby changing the working range of the mud-shoveling blade 704 on the outer side of the rotating rod 7, increasing the starting area of ​​the mud-lifting assembly on the silt, avoiding dead angles in mud lifting, and ensuring the dredging effect of the dredger.

[0039] Working principle: When the mud rake housing 1 pumps the silt from the bottom of the river, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 moves up and down reciprocally. The piston rod drives the movable block 1001 to move back and forth in the movable groove 11. When the movable block 1001 moves up and down reciprocally, it moves in the concave hole 131 through the fixed rod 1002, thereby causing the swing plate 13 to rotate around the pin at the connection with the mud rake housing 1. When the swing plate 13 swings back and forth, it drives the rotating disk 12 to rotate through the positioning rod 121. When the rotating disk 12 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 7 and the mud shovel 704 on the outside of the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The mud shovel 704 shovels the silt at the bottom of the river, and the mud shovel 704 moves along the outer wall of the arc-shaped grid 4, so that the mud shovel 704 pushes the stones intercepted on the outside of the arc-shaped grid 4 into the treatment tank 5. When the movable block 1001 moves, it drives the baffle 9 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1. When the baffle 9 slides on the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1, it drives the second crushing rod 902 to crush the stones placed in the processing tank 5 through the support plate 901. The crushed stones fall into the mud conveying channel 3 through the filter plate 501 and are sucked in. The baffle 9 slides on the inner wall of the mud rake housing 1. When the baffle 9 moves up and down, the connecting plate 803 drives the moving block 8 to slide up and down along the arc rod 401. When the moving block 8 slides up and down, it drives the first crushing rod 802 to move through the connecting rod 801, so that the first crushing rod 802 crushes the small stones stuck on the arc grid 4, avoiding the stones from blocking the grid and causing the mud and sand to be sucked in slowly, thus improving the work of the dredger.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
