Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of environmental governance equipment technology, and in particular to a stirring and suction system for dredging tidal flats. Background Technology
[0002] Siltation management in tidal flat areas is a crucial aspect of ecological restoration and waterway maintenance. Currently, the mainstream dredging equipment consists of cutter suction dredgers or small floating platforms. Traditional dredging and mixing vessels are mainly used for underwater silt extraction and transportation, offering limited functionality and exhibiting the following limitations:
[0003] 1. Inefficient support for cofferdam construction: Sandbag filling for cofferdams requires additional equipment, which is inefficient and costly.
[0004] 2. Insufficient mobility: Traditional ships rely on propellers or tracks for propulsion, making them poorly adaptable to shallow waters or narrow areas.
[0005] 3. Lack of land operation capability: It cannot be directly used for land sand mixing or foundation treatment. This utility model solves the above problems by improving the hull structure and functional modules, integrating sand suction, water jet propulsion, and land operation functions. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A dredging and suction system for tidal flats includes a hull; it also includes a suction head, a suction pipe, a support arm, a suspended hydraulic arm, a water storage chamber, and a sludge pump; the support arm is mounted on the hull near the front end, and its bottom end is hinged to the hull; a winch is mounted on the hull, located behind the support arm; a steel cable is strung between the winch and the top of the support arm; a connecting rod is mounted on one side of the top of the support arm; the suspended hydraulic arm is located on one side of the hull, and its upper end is hinged to the connecting rod; the suction pipe is... The agitator is positioned below the suspended hydraulic arm, with its end hinged to the hull and its top front hinged to the suspended hydraulic arm. The water storage chamber and the sludge pump are mounted on the hull near the rear end, with a sludge pump located on one side of the water storage chamber. A water delivery pipe and a first sludge discharge pipe are threaded through the agitator. The end of the water delivery pipe is connected to the sludge pump, and the front end is connected to the agitator. The front end of the first sludge discharge pipe is connected to the agitator, and the end of the first sludge discharge pipe is connected to the inlet of the sludge pump. A second sludge discharge pipe is connected to the outlet of the sludge pump.

[0010] Preferably, a first motor is provided on the hull; the shaft of the first motor is connected to the winch wheel or the first motor is connected to the winch wheel through a gear pair, and the first motor drives the winch wheel to rotate.
[0011] Preferably, a base is provided on the side of the hull; the end of the agitator pipe is hinged to the base; the water supply pipe and the first sewage discharge pipe both pass through the base.
[0012] Preferably, the agitator includes a mounting base, a sludge suction head, and an agitator shaft; the mounting base is connected to the front end of the agitator pipe, and the mounting base has an internal cavity; the water supply pipe and the first sewage discharge pipe both pass through the mounting base; a high-pressure water spray head is provided at the front end of the water supply pipe; a second motor is provided in the cavity of the mounting base; there are at least two agitator shafts, spaced apart and mounted on the front side of the mounting base, and the agitator shafts are connected to the output end of the second motor; agitator blades are spirally arranged on the outer surface of the agitator shafts; the high-pressure water spray head is positioned facing the agitator blades; the sludge suction head is located in the middle of the front side of the mounting base and communicates with the first sewage discharge pipe; a filter device is provided at the connection position between the sludge suction head and the first sewage discharge pipe; the filter device can be a filter screen.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following features and beneficial effects.
[0014] 1. This utility model integrates multiple functions: underwater dredging, cofferdam filling, and land agitation and suction. The underwater spraying and land agitation and suction modules of this device share the same power system, core power system (such as water pump and sewage pump) and main pipelines (water delivery pipe, first sewage delivery pipe and second sewage delivery pipe), which significantly reduces redundant equipment configuration and lowers purchase and maintenance costs.
[0015] 2. This utility model is equipped with a high-pressure water jet head and a sludge suction head on the agitator head. Through the water jet-suction linkage design, it can realize land agitation and suction, reduce intermediate links and eliminate the need for multi-equipment coordination and scheduling, thus shortening the construction period. When land agitation is required, the bow of the ship only needs to be facing the land so that the agitator pipe and agitator head can be extended above the land to realize the agitation of the land near the water.
[0016] 3. This utility model, through its unique support arm, suspension hydraulic arm system, and hinged structure at the end of the suction pipe, can stably hoist, support, and precisely position the suction head on the land working surface, breaking through the limitation of traditional dredging vessels being unable to leave the water and realizing seamless operation capability from water to land.
[0017] 4. The construction efficiency and convenience of this utility model are greatly improved: The mud and sand sucked by the suction head and the filling of the cofferdam can be completed continuously on the same platform. The suction mud and sand are discharged to the designated location through the second sewage conveying pipe for cofferdam filling. This process eliminates intermediate material transfer and additional filling equipment, and greatly shortens the construction period. Attached Figure Description
