Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater drilling and grouting pile construction equipment and mud treatment technology, and more specifically, to an underwater drilling and grouting pile mud recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction of underwater bored piles, mud needs to be continuously injected into the pile hole to balance the pressure on the hole wall, suspend drill cuttings, and cool the drill bit. After construction is completed, if a large amount of waste mud containing drill cuttings, gravel, and fine-particle solids is directly discharged, it will cause serious pollution to the aquatic ecological environment and result in a huge waste of mud materials.

[0003] The prior art, disclosed in CN207609397U, discloses a mud conveying system suitable for underwater bored pile construction. This system includes a mud pool on land, a mud pump suspended inside the pile casing, a storage tank, a conveying ditch, and a support frame mounted on a steel trestle platform. The mud pump and storage tank are connected via pipelines. A slurry outlet pipe is located in the middle of the storage tank. The conveying ditch is inclined and mounted on the support frame, connecting the outlet pipe to the mud pool. This mud conveying system for underwater bored pile construction can transport waste mud from pile casings at different locations, is easy to clean and maintain, and can also guide the recyclable portion of the mud into the un-drilled pile casing, effectively reducing mud conveying and recycling costs.

[0004] While this device effectively reduces the cost of mud transportation and recycling, existing technologies already include mud recycling equipment for onshore bored piles, such as mud purification achieved through a combination of vibrating screens, hydrocyclones, and sedimentation tanks. However, the construction environment on water is limited by waves, water level fluctuations, and the confined space of the construction platform, making it difficult to directly apply conventional onshore equipment. Furthermore, onshore equipment typically uses fixed foundations and cannot float with the water level, resulting in the mud collection port not being stably immersed in the liquid surface.
