Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the construction of marine engineering and offshore wind power projects, a large amount of mud removal operations are often required inside and outside the piles during the steel pile cutting or grouting construction. When cutting steel piles, the cutting position needs to be 4m below the mud line according to regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the mud removal operation inside or outside the pile before the cutting operation can be carried out inside or outside the pile accordingly; in the construction of the oil platform jacket and the offshore wind farm booster station foundation, it is often necessary to remove mud before grouting operations can be carried out inside the pile. In addition, in the field of shipwreck salvage, it is often necessary to clean the silt inside and outside the shipwreck cabin for the purpose of weight reduction before salvaging, which is a key factor in the successful floating of the shipwreck. Therefore, it is very necessary to study efficient mud removal equipment.

[0003] At present, there are two main types of mud removal in the field of salvage and pile removal according to different principles: air lift mud removal equipment and slurry pump mud removal, in addition to a small amount of jet mud removal equipment. Among them, slurry pumps cannot remove mud removal operations containing hard objects such as gravel on the seabed, the pump body is easily damaged and has high requirements for the head; air lift mud removal operations have good mud removal effects in deep water environments, but are not efficient in shallow water conditions; jet mud removal equipment has high efficiency in shallow water, but requires a high-pressure pump with a large head in deep water.

[0040] According to different working environments, the utility model can apply two working modes, high-pressure water jet mud discharge and air lift mud discharge, separately or simultaneously, which can improve mud discharge efficiency and enhance environmental adaptability.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] When the high-pressure water inlet pipe 1 is connected to high-pressure water and the jet tube ball valve 5 is opened, the high-pressure water is divided at the tee 3.
