The conveying system, in particular, faces numerous reliability challenges, including blockage, wear, backflow, the heavy loads borne by extremely long pipelines, and ocean current disturbances. These issues are currently under research and development.

[0003] One current conveying system technology is hydraulic lifting, which involves connecting multiple slurry pumps in series throughout a rigid pipe system at depths ranging from several thousand to several hundred meters to achieve the desired lifting effect.

[0051] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment, the present application provides a multifunctional support for a deep-sea mining conveying system pipeline, which comprises a first transition plate 1, a box girder support 2, and a second transition plate 3.

[0052] The box girder support 2 is through at both ends, and the box girder support 2 is a box cage structure.

[0053] The first transition plate 1 blocks one end of the box girder support 2, and at least one first through hole 11 is arranged on the first transition plate 1. ​

[0054] The second transition plate 3 blocks the other end of the box beam support 2 , and at least one second through hole 12 is provided on the second transition plate 1 .

[0055] Both ends of the slurry conveying pipe 6 are connected to the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 through the flange structure 4 , wherein the slurry conveying pipe 6 passes through the interior of the box beam support 2 .

[0056] This embodiment provides a specific structure for a multifunctional support for deep-sea mining pipeline transportation systems. The support comprises a cylindrical box-beam structure (2), a main pipeline running vertically through it, and slurry delivery pipes (6) distributed around it. These pipes are connected by a first transition plate (1) and a second transition plate (3).

[0057] By passing through the box beam support to connect the slurry conveying pipe and other components and using it as a connection carrier for other tailwater discharge pipes and cables, it helps to solve the technical problem of the lack of an integrated structure of mineral conveying pipes, tailwater discharge pipes and cables in the existing technology.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first transition plate 1 is connected to the box beam support 2 via a flange structure at an edge 10 , and the tailwater discharge pipe 5 passes through the edge.

[0059] In this embodiment, a specific structure of how the tailwater discharge pipe 5 penetrates the edge 10 is provided.

[0060] In one embodiment, a cable 7 is further provided through the edge 10 .

[0062] In one embodiment, the first through holes 11 and the second through holes 12 are disposed opposite to each other and have the same number.

[0063] The relative arrangement here means that the holes in the upper and lower directions are relative and can pass through the slurry conveying pipe 6.

[0064] In one embodiment, the multifunctional bracket for deep-sea mining transportation system pipelines includes a plurality of connecting plates 20;

[0065] One end of the connecting plate 20 is connected to the edge 10 , and the other end of the connecting plate 20 extends to the first through hole 11 . The first through hole 11 is provided at the other end of the connecting plate 20 .

[0066] The first transition plate 1 and the second transition plate 3 each have a connecting plate 20 extending toward the center to fix the slurry conveying pipe 6.

[0067] In one embodiment, there are a plurality of first through holes 11 and second through holes 12 , which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular edge 10 .

[0072] The multifunctional bracket is a "box-cage" structure, which is connected to the slurry conveying pump and the slurry conveying pipe flange, which is beneficial to improve the support stiffness of the pump section in the conveying system and avoid the weight of the conveying system being concentrated on the pump body; Figure 5 As shown, four tailwater discharge pipes 5, a slurry pump, and relay station cables 7 are distributed circumferentially around the multifunctional bracket. This helps constrain the tailwater discharge pipes 5 and cables 7, preventing them from deviating from their intended positions due to sea conditions and potentially damaging the conveying system. This multifunctional bracket has a simple structure and flexible installation, facilitating installation and deployment of the conveying system and improving the operational stability of deep-sea mining conveying systems.

[0073] Beneficial effects:

[0074] 1. The multifunctional bracket adopts a "box-cage" structure and is connected to the slurry conveying pump and the slurry conveying pipe flange, which is beneficial to improve the support rigidity of the pump section in the conveying system and avoid the weight of the conveying system being concentrated on the pump body;

[0075] 2. The multifunctional bracket rationally arranges the tailwater discharge pipe and cable positions in the circumferential direction, which can effectively constrain their positions and prevent the tailwater discharge pipe and cable from deviating from the predetermined position due to sea conditions, causing damage to the conveying system;

[0076] 3. The multifunctional bracket adopts a movable connecting plate to realize the effective combination of the bracket and the slurry conveying pipeline. At the same time, it optimizes the structure and layout of the tailwater pipeline, realizes the integrated installation of the mineral conveying pipe, tailwater discharge pipe and cable, simplifies the installation method of the conveying system piping, and improves the operational stability of the deep-sea mining conveying system.

[0077] In summary, this utility model helps improve the support rigidity of the pump section in the conveying system, preventing the weight of the conveying system from being concentrated on the pump body. It also constrains the position of the tailwater discharge pipe and cable, preventing them from deviating from their intended position due to sea conditions and causing damage to the conveying system.
