Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ventilation devices for shore discharge pipelines, specifically to a special ventilation device for shore discharge pipelines of trailing suction hopper dredgers. Background Technology

[0002] A trailing suction hopper dredger is a specialized engineering vessel primarily used for dredging and excavating underwater mud or sand. These vessels are typically equipped with a complex dredging system. During dredging operations, trailing suction hopper dredgers use shore discharge pipelines to transport the dredged mud and sand to the shore or other designated locations. This shore discharge pipeline is an important component of the dredger, and its smooth operation has a crucial impact on the overall operational efficiency and effectiveness of the dredger.

[0003] Based on this, this utility model designs a special ventilation device for the shore discharge pipeline of a trailing suction hopper dredger to ensure the smooth operation of the shore discharge pipeline. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a special ventilation device for the shore discharge pipeline of a trailing suction dredger, comprising a splash guard 1, mounting bolts 2, connecting pipes 3, ventilation pipes 4 and ventilation bends 5. The upper end of the splash guard 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 3 by the mounting bolts 2. The upper end of the connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the ventilation pipe 4 by the mounting bolts 2. The upper end of the ventilation pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the ventilation bend 5 by the mounting bolts 2.

[0027] The lower end of the splash guard 1 is provided with a welding end 101, and the upper end of the splash guard 1 is provided with a first connecting flange 102. The first connecting flange 102 is provided with an annular mounting hole. The interior of the splash guard 1 is symmetrically and alternately arranged with baffle plates 103, which are arranged at an angle downwards.

[0028] The upper and lower ends of the connecting pipe 3 are provided with second connecting flanges 301. The second connecting flange 301 at the upper end of the connecting pipe 3 is provided with a first mounting groove 302. A circular frame 303 is snapped into the first mounting groove 302. A grid 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the circular frame 303. The grid 304 is in contact with the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. A float ball 305 is placed inside the grid 304.

[0029] The float 305 is composed of a stainless steel ball 3051 and a rubber layer 3052, with the rubber layer 3052 wrapping around the outside of the stainless steel ball 3051.

[0030] Through the structural design of the upper connecting pipe 3, the connection between the connecting pipe 3 and the venting pipe 4 can be switched on and off. The venting device can adjust the venting according to the internal pressure change of the discharge pipe, while avoiding the leakage of mud and sand through the venting device. The anti-splash pipe 1 installed at the connection between the venting device and the discharge pipe can play a role in preventing splashing.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The upper and lower ends of the vent pipe 4 are provided with a third connecting flange 401. A second mounting groove 402 is provided on the third connecting flange 401 at the upper end of the vent pipe 4. A barrier net 403 is inserted into the second mounting groove 402.

[0032] The barrier net 403 includes a net frame 4031, a wire mesh 4032, and a cross lifting rod 4033. The wire mesh 4032 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the net frame 4031, and the cross lifting rod 4033 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the net frame 4031 above the wire mesh 4032.

[0033] The barrier net 403 provided at the connection between the vent pipe 4 and the vent bend 5 can prevent external debris from entering the interior of the ventilating device and prevent blockage inside the ventilating device. The detachable structure of the vent pipe 4 and the vent bend 5 allows for the cleaning or replacement of the barrier net 403.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In specific use, the splash guard 1, connecting pipe 3, vent pipe 4 and ventilating bend 5 are fixedly connected in sequence by the mounting bolts 2. Then, the welding end 101 provided at the lower end of the splash guard 1 is cut and welded at a suitable position in the discharge pipeline to weld and fix the ventilating device to the discharge pipeline. This balances the pressure difference inside and outside the pipeline, avoids damage to the pipeline due to excessive or insufficient pressure, and prevents blockages caused by gas accumulation, ensuring unobstructed flow in the discharge pipeline and guaranteeing the transport of sediment in the discharge pipeline. The flow-blocking plates 103 arranged symmetrically inside the splash guard 1 can block and prevent the sediment from splashing. The connecting pipe 3 can prevent the sediment from leaking through the ventilating device and also plays a role in ventilation regulation.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
