Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wetland ecological maintenance equipment technology, and in particular to a wetland unit bottom sediment dredging device. Background Technology

[0002] Wetlands are important natural ecosystems, and sediment accumulation in their bottoms can affect water quality and ecological functions. Existing wetland dredging devices, such as the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220318626U, disclose a dredging device for wetland protection that operates using a tracked vehicle, a dredging box, a dredging mechanism, and a laterally movable suction head, which improves dredging efficiency to some extent.

[0003] However, in practical applications, this existing technology still has significant drawbacks: although its suction head is equipped with a screen to prevent large impurities from entering the pipe, wetland sediment often contains aquatic plants, fibers, plastic film, and other debris, which easily adhere to and clog the screen. Once clogged, it leads to a sharp decrease in suction flow, an increased load on the dredging pump, and may even force a shutdown for manual cleaning, seriously affecting the continuity and automation of dredging operations. In addition, the suction head of this device has a limited function, only enabling lateral movement and depth adjustment, making the dredging mode inflexible.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can effectively prevent the suction head from clogging and enable more flexible dredging operations, so as to improve the efficiency and reliability of wetland dredging operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a wetland unit bottom sediment dredging device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a wetland unit bottom sediment dredging device, including a tracked vehicle and a dredging box installed on the tracked vehicle. The front end of the dredging box is provided with a depth adjustment mechanism, and the bottom of the depth adjustment mechanism is provided with a transverse movement mechanism. A sludge suction pump is installed on the top of the dredging box. A first sludge conveying pipe connected to the dredging box is provided at the outlet of the sludge suction pump, and a second sludge conveying pipe is connected at the inlet. A sludge suction pipe is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second sludge conveying pipe. A rotating mechanism for driving the sludge suction pipe to rotate is provided on the transverse movement mechanism. A sludge suction head with a screen is detachably installed at the bottom of the sludge suction pipe, and a cleaning mechanism for preventing the sludge suction head from clogging is provided on the transverse movement mechanism.

[0007] Specifically, the depth adjustment mechanism includes a support base set on the front face of the sludge removal box, a first electric cylinder installed in the support base, a lifting box installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder, a lateral movement mechanism installed in the lifting box, and a reinforcing plate between the bottom of the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder and the lifting box.

[0008] In particular, the front face of the sludge removal box is equipped with guide rails on both sides, and the lifting box is slidably connected to the guide rails.

[0009] Specifically, the transverse mechanism includes a lead screw rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the lifting box, a first motor installed inside the lifting box to drive the lead screw to rotate, a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting box and threadedly connected to the lead screw, and a transverse box fixed on the sliding sleeve. The transverse box slides along the front end face of the lifting box, and the front end face of the lifting box is provided with a slot corresponding to the sliding sleeve. The rotation mechanism and the cleaning mechanism are installed on the transverse box.

[0010] Specifically, several bearing seats are installed on the front end of the transverse transfer box, and the sludge suction pipe is rotatably connected to the bearing seats through the bearings.

[0011] Specifically, the rotating mechanism includes a second motor mounted on the top of the transverse box, and the main shaft of the second motor and the outer wall of the suction pipe are fitted with meshing gears.

[0012] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism includes a second electric cylinder installed inside the transverse box. The bottom of the transverse box is open, and a movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transverse box. The telescopic rod of the second electric cylinder is connected to the movable plate, and a vertical rod is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate. A cleaning brush that contacts the suction head is provided on the vertical rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention achieves flexible planning of dredging operation paths by coordinating the longitudinal movement of the tracked vehicle, the lateral scanning of the lateral movement mechanism, and the rotation of the suction head. This greatly expands the coverage of a single operation, avoids missed areas in straight-line dredging, and makes dredging more thorough and efficient.

[0015] This invention features a cleaning mechanism driven by a second electric cylinder, which uses a cleaning brush to scrape the screen of the suction head. This mechanism can be activated during or intermittent sludge removal, effectively removing debris adhering to the screen, preventing screen blockage, ensuring the continuity and stability of the sludge removal process, and reducing maintenance frequency and labor intensity.

[0020] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a wetland unit bottom sediment dredging device includes a tracked vehicle 1 and a dredging box 2 mounted on the tracked vehicle 1. The dredging box 2 has a built-in discharge port for periodically discharging sediment. A depth adjustment mechanism is provided on the front end face of the dredging box 2. The depth adjustment mechanism includes a support base 8 located on the front end face of the dredging box 2, a first electric cylinder 9 installed within the support base 8, and a lifting box 10 installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder 9. A lateral movement mechanism is installed within the lifting box 10. A reinforcing plate 11 is provided between the bottom of the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder 9 and the lifting box 10, enhancing the connection rigidity between the lifting box 10 and the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder, preventing swaying or deformation under complex stress, and improving stability. Guide rails 12 are provided on both sides of the front end face of the dredging box 2, and the lifting box 10 is slidably connected to the guide rails 12. The guide rails 12 provide precise guidance for the vertical movement of the lifting box 10, ensuring the smoothness and verticality of the lifting process and avoiding skewing.

[0023] The depth adjustment mechanism has a horizontal movement mechanism at its bottom. This mechanism includes a lead screw 13 rotatably connected between the inner walls of the lifting box 10 on both sides, a first motor installed inside the lifting box 10 to drive the lead screw 13, a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting box 10 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 13, and a horizontal movement box 14 fixed to the sliding sleeve. The horizontal movement box 14 slides along the front end face of the lifting box 10, and the front end face of the lifting box 10 has a slot corresponding to the sliding sleeve. The lead screw and nut transmission method ensures the accuracy and self-locking of the horizontal movement box 14, enabling precise control of the horizontal position of the suction head 7.

[0024] A suction pump 3 is installed on the top of the sludge removal box 2. The outlet of the suction pump 3 is connected to a first sludge conveying pipe 4, which is connected to the sludge removal box 2. A second sludge conveying pipe 5 (using a flexible hose for easy raising and lowering of the suction pipe 6) is connected to the inlet of the second sludge conveying pipe 5. The suction pipe 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second sludge conveying pipe 5. A rotating mechanism for driving the suction pipe 6 is installed on the transverse moving mechanism 14. Several bearing seats 15 are installed on the front end of the transverse moving box 14. The suction pipe 6 is rotatably connected to the bearing seats 15 via bearings, providing stable rotational support for the suction pipe 6. The rotating mechanism includes a second motor 16 installed on the top of the transverse moving box 14. Gears 17 meshing with each other are installed on the main shaft of the second motor 16 and the outer wall of the suction pipe 6. The suction pipe 6 is driven to rotate via gear transmission. This simple structure and reliable transmission allow the suction head 7 to rotate within a 360-degree range, greatly enhancing the flexibility of sludge removal.

[0025] A suction head 7 with a screen is detachably installed at the bottom of the suction pipe 6. The suction head 7 is detachably installed at the bottom of the suction pipe 6 via a flange or thread. A cleaning mechanism to prevent clogging of the suction head 7 is provided on the transverse movement mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is installed on the transverse movement box 14 and includes a second electric cylinder 18 installed inside the transverse movement box 14. The bottom of the transverse movement box 14 is open, and a movable plate 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transverse movement box 14. The extension rod of the second electric cylinder 18 is connected to the movable plate 19. A vertical rod 20 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 19, and a cleaning brush 21 that contacts the suction head 7 is provided on the vertical rod 20. When the pump pressure is abnormal or the cleaning mechanism is triggered at a set time, the second electric cylinder 18 pushes the movable plate 19 and the cleaning brush 21 downwards, causing the cleaning brush 21 to press tightly against the screen surface of the suction head 7. Subsequently, through the rotation of the suction pipe 6 or the slight movement of the cleaning brush 21 itself, the debris attached to the screen can be scraped off, achieving automatic unclogging and effectively ensuring the continuity of operation.

[0026] In operation, the tracked vehicle 1 moves to the target wetland unit. First, the height of the lifting box 10 is adjusted by the first electric cylinder 9, thereby lowering the suction head 7 to a suitable sludge removal depth. Then, the suction pump 3 is started to begin suctioning sludge. During the sludge removal process, the first motor can be started to drive the transverse box 14 to move laterally, while the second motor 16 is started to drive the suction pipe 6 and the suction head 7 to rotate slowly. This combined "lateral movement + rotation" motion makes the working trajectory of the suction head 7 fan-shaped or spiral-shaped, covering a wider area on both sides of the track, removing sludge without dead angles, and significantly increasing efficiency compared to single linear suction. When the system detects an increase in the pressure of the suction pump 3 or at a preset time interval, the cleaning mechanism can be activated: the second electric cylinder 18 pushes the cleaning brush 21 down to contact the screen, and the rotation of the suction pipe 6 drives the suction head 7 to move relative to the cleaning brush 21, thereby scraping away blockages. After cleaning is completed, the cleaning brush 21 is lifted, and the sludge removal operation continues. This invention can effectively prevent the suction head 7 from clogging and enable more flexible dredging operations, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of wetland dredging operations.
