Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydraulic blasting, in particular to a bubble curtain protection device. Background Art
[0002] With technological advancements and the development of global ocean resources, the application prospects of underwater blasting technology are becoming increasingly broad. Water is less compressible than air. Therefore, the shock waves caused by underwater blasting have faster propagation speed and greater destructive power, which can cause serious damage to surrounding buildings, structures, and the ecological environment.
[0003] Bubble curtain is a relatively effective underwater blast wave protection technology. Its working principle is to form a layer of bubble wall in the water, and use the density difference between bubbles and water and the elastic characteristics of the bubbles themselves to make the shock wave undergo multiple reflections and refractions during the propagation process, thereby significantly reducing the energy propagation of the shock wave.
[0004] Bubble curtains have broad application prospects, particularly in military defense, marine engineering, and environmental protection. In the military, bubble curtains can be used to protect ships and marine facilities, mitigating the threat of underwater explosions. In marine engineering, bubble curtains can serve as an effective defense against critical structures such as submarine pipelines and platforms. In environmental protection, bubble curtains can help mitigate the impact of underwater explosions on the ecological environment and maintain biodiversity in waters.
[0005] Existing bubble curtain protection devices use an air compressor to pump air into an underwater steel pipe through an air duct. Air then overflows through air holes in the pipe to form a bubble curtain, which blocks the shockwaves of underwater explosions. In deep water, existing bubble curtain systems require significantly increased compressor power and significantly longer air ducts, significantly increasing costs and operating complexity, while also limiting the effectiveness of bubble curtain generation.
[0006] Therefore, the inventors proposed this application to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] The inner cavity of the shell is filled with liquid gas, a battery pack is arranged in the bottom plate of the shell, and a resistance wire is arranged in the inner cavity of the shell. The two ends of the resistance wire are connected to the two poles of the battery pack, one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the shell, the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the pipeline, and the other end of the pipeline is connected to the bubble injection pipe. A valve B is provided on the pipeline, the pipeline between the shell and the valve B is connected to the boosting device through the valve A, and the pipeline between the bubble injection pipe and the valve B is connected to the boosting device through the valve C. The channel from the boosting device to the inner cavity of the shell is opened or closed by the valve A, and the channel from the boosting device to the bubble injection pipe is opened or closed by the valve C. The pressure gauge is arranged on the connecting pipe.
[0011] In a specific embodiment, the liquid gas is liquid carbon dioxide.

The gas enters the gas injection pipe through the connecting pipe and the pipeline in sequence, forming a bubble curtain. The gas pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge. If the pressure is insufficient and the bubble curtain effect is poor, the valve is used to control the opening or closing of the channel so that the gas enters the gas injection pipe after passing through the booster device, forming a high-quality bubble curtain, which can effectively block the blast shock wave.

After the gas is emitted from the inner cavity of the shell 1, it passes through the connecting pipe 4, the pipeline 10, and the bubble injection tube 3 in sequence to form a bubble curtain. When the gas pressure is insufficient and the bubble curtain effect is poor, the valve B6 is closed, and the valves A8 and C7 are opened.
