A dirt guard curtain according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a sludge curtain 10, a float 20 and a prefabricated fall body 30, wherein the upper edge of the sludge curtain 10 is curvedly fixed to a cylindrical cavity, the float 20 being inserted into a cylindrical cavity, along the side of the sludge curtain 10, a plurality of metal locking eyes 11 are spacedly arranged at the front and rear sides of the sludge curtain 10, the metal locking eyes 11 at the upper side of the sludge curtain 10 are connected to the prefabricated fall body 30 via a rope body 40, respectively, the metal locking eyes 11 at the lower side of the sludge curtain 10 are connected to a counterweight iron chain 50, respectively, the float 20 floats above the horizontal plane and the prefabricated fall body 30 sinks to the bottom of the water, such that the vertical deployment of the sludge curtain 10 is pulled by the counterweight iron chain 50, wherein at least one stiffening strip 12 is arranged on the sludge curtain 10 in the horizontal and vertical direction, wherein the stiffening strips 12 are arranged at regular intervals in the horizontal and / or vertical direction of the sludge curtain 10, wherein along the side of the sludge curtain 10 the sludge curtain 10 is also provided with a plurality of metal eyes 13.It is understood that the dirt guard curtain of the present invention includes a sludge curtain 10, the sludge curtain 10 being perpendicular to the body of water so that the spread of sludge water from sea dredging and shipping to other bodies of water can be effectively prevented at the same time. In order to allow the curtain of sludge 10 to remain vertical in the water, the top of the curtain of sludge 10 is curvedly fixed. In particular, it is possible to bend and fix the top of the curtain of sludge 10 by sewing. A cylindrical cavity is formed by the bending portion, so that the float 20 is inserted into the cavity. Furthermore, the float 20 is formed cylindrically. The dimensions of the bending portion at the top of the sludge curtain 10 can be adjusted depending on the cross-sectional dimensions of the float 20 so that the float 20 can be inserted. The top of the curtain of sludge 10 is made to float on the water surface by the float 20.Further, in order to prevent the mud curtain 10 from being blown away for displacement by factors such as wind and waves, the mud curtain 10 may be fixed by a prefabricated drop body 30. In particular, metal locking eyes 11 are arranged on the sides of the sludge curtain 10, one end of the rope body 40 being connected to the metal locking eye 11 and the other end to the prefabricated fall body 30. The prefabricated drop body 30 sinks to the bottom of the water in order to fasten the sludge curtain 10. The front and rear sides of the sludge curtain 10 can each be connected to a prefabricated drop body 30. By way of example, the front and rear sides of both sides of a sludge curtain 10 are each connected to a prefabricated fall body 30. The curtain of sludge 10 is fastened by the four prefabricated drop bodies 30 in order to be able to float easily within a certain range.Further, in order to ensure the unfolding of the sludge curtain 10, a counterweight iron chain 50 is attached to the bottom of the sludge curtain 10. The counterweight iron chain 50 is also connected to the mud curtain 10 by a metallic locking eyelet 11. The mud curtain 10 can be pulled through the counterweight iron chain 50 to remain vertical in the water, so that the mud water is intercepted and prevented from spreading.Furthermore, stiffening straps 12 are also provided on the curtain 10. Since the curtain of sludge 10 is vertically placed in the water and is continuously struck by waves or the like, a plurality of reinforcing straps 12 are disposed vertically and horizontally on the curtain of sludge 10. The object is to increase the strength of the curtain of sludge 10 and to prevent it from being able to lead to a break due to impacts.Furthermore, the dirt protection curtain can be used for a plurality of bodies of water. Depending on the area of the body of water and the dirt protection requirements, the length of the dirt protection curtain can be changed in a removable manner. In particular, at the sides of the mud curtain 10, a plurality of metal loops 13 are spaced apart, wherein the adjacent mud curtains 10 may be tied together by metal loops 13 to extend the length of the mud curtain, which is suitable for different application scenarios.In use, the float 20, the mud curtain 10 and the counterweight iron chain 50 are first assembled in the land area. After being transported into the construction area, one end of the cable body 40 is bound to the prefabricated drop body 30. The prefabricated drop body 30 is raised to the intended position, and then the float 20 and the sludge curtain 10 are lowered. The other end of the rope body 40 is connected to a metallic locking eyelet 11 reserved on the sludge curtain 10.In the embodiment according to the present invention, the curtain of sludge in the water is straightened by means of a float arranged at the top side of the curtain of sludge and a counterweight iron chain arranged at the bottom side of the curtain of sludge. By connecting to the prefabricated drop body, the curtain of sludge is fastened in a specific area. Floating objects on the water surface may be intercepted by the float on the water surface, and the spread of mud water may be blocked by the mud curtain under water, thereby effectively improving the interception efficiency of the mud curtain.In a further alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that the material of the float 20 is polystyrene.It is understood that polystyrene is frequently used for foamed plastic articles. Its main effect is to resist the horizontal forces acting on the float 20 due to wind and waves by the upward lifting force it generates, so that the prefabricated drop body 30 exerts a downward pulling force on the float 20 and the dead weight of the sludge curtain 10, whereby the upper tip of the sludge curtain 10 is always kept above the water surface.For example, in the water depth range of 0 to 12 m under the influence of wind and waves, the maximum downward pulling force on the float 20 by the dead weight of the prefabricated drop body 30 and the sludge curtain 10 is 393 N / m. At this time, a float 20 having a cylinder with a cross-sectional diameter of 300 mm capable of generating up to 546 N / m in buoyancy, which meets the requirements. Moreover, each portion of the float 20 is 2.4 m long, facilitating transportation and installation.In a further alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that the sludge curtain 10 is produced by weaving high-strength polyester fibers, wherein the length of the sludge curtain 10 is 20 m, wherein the depth of the sludge curtain 10 is adapted to the depth of the water body applied.It is understood that polyester fibers can be divided into a high strength and low elongation type, a medium strength and medium elongation type, a low strength and medium elongation type, a high modulus type, a high strength and high modulus type, etc., according to their drawable strength. In the embodiment of the invention, the curtain of sludge 10 is made by weaving high strength polyester fibers whose tensile strength can reach 150 kN / m.In addition, the tensile force on the dirt protection curtain produced by wind and waves is at most 54.5 kN / m. The sludge curtain 10 has a single length of 20 m, the depth of which is determined according to the water depth of the white water. The depth of the curtain of sludge 10 after straightening is 1 to 2 m from the bottom of the water.In another alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that the prefabricated drop body 30 comprises a concrete block 31 and a reinforcing bar 32 bent in a U-shape and fixed at both ends in the prefabricated concrete block 31, with reference to Figs. 3 and 4, wherein the reinforcing bar 32 is connected to one end of the rope body 40 by a U-shaped buckle 60, the other end of the rope body 40 being connected to the metallic locking eye 11 by a U-shaped buckle 60.It will be appreciated that the prefabricated trap body 30 serves to secure the curtain of mud 10 so that it is not flushed away by wind and waves. Specifically, the prefabricated drop body 30 includes a concrete block 31. When casting the concrete block 31, the reinforcing bar 32 is bent in a U-shape so that both ends are inserted into the concrete block 31. After the concrete block 31 has cured, an anchored interface is formed by the reinforcing bar 32, which is connected to one end of the rope body 40 by a U-shaped buckle 60. Also, the other end of the rope body 40 is connected to the metallic locking eyelet 11 of the mud curtain 10 through a U-shaped buckle 60.Further, the weight of the prefabricated drop body 30 can be adjusted depending on the depth of the water body applied. For example, the maximum upward tensile force on the prefabricated drop body 30 due to factors such as wind and waves in the water depth range of 0 to 8 m is 22.89 kN, so that a 1 m*1 m*1 m concrete block 31 having an own weight of 24 kN can be used. For example, the maximum upward tensile force on the prefabricated drop body 30 due to factors such as wind and waves in the water depth range of 8 to 12 m is 31.8 kN, so that a 1.2m*1,2m*1m concrete block 31 having an own weight of 34.6 kN can be used.Moreover, a nylon rope may be used for the rope body 40 to connect the prefabricated drop body 30 to the mud curtain 10.The nylon rope has a diameter of 24 mm and a maximum tensile strength of 50 kN. Due to the influence of wind and shafts, the maximum tensile force of the nylon rope is 44 kN, which can meet the tensile force requirement.In a further alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that the included angle formed between the prefabricated drop body 30 and the sludge curtain 10 is 45° to 70°.It will be appreciated that the prefabricated drop body 30 is connected to the front and rear sides of the mud curtain 10 to resist the horizontal and vertical pulling forces of wind, waves and floods on the mud curtain. For the same sludge curtain 10, it is possible to connect to a prefabricated drop body 30a on opposite sides of the sludge curtain 10, respectively. A plurality of connected mud curtains 10 can be installed every 20 m uniformly at both ends of the mud curtain. The installation position of the prefabricated drop body 30 may be controlled after connecting the prefabricated drop body 30 to the mud curtain 10.

In flooding, the float 20 and the sludge curtain 10 simultaneously float with the tidal level upward, so that the float 20 always remains on the water surface. At low floods, the curtain of mud 10 is always in a free sagging state, since the curtain of mud 10 is at a distance of 1 to 2 m from the sea floor.In a further alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that any adjacent slurry curtains 10 are fastened together by rope bodies 40 passing successively through the metal loops 13 at the sides of adjacent slurry curtains 10 in a zigzag shape, with reference to Fig. 5.It is understood that on both sides of the curtain of sludge 10, a plurality of metal eyes 13 are arranged at equal intervals in the depth direction. By way of example, a respective metal eyelet 13 can be arranged at a distance of 0.5 m. The metallic eyelet 13 is a bore with a metallic ring jacket. When a plurality of slurry curtains 10 are used by splicing, the rope body 40 may be passed through the metal loops 13 of adjacent slurry curtains 10 one after another in a zigzag shape. A plurality of mud curtains 10 are tied together to extend the length of the mud curtain, which is suitable for different mud protection scenarios.In a further alternative embodiment according to the present invention, it is provided that the counterweight iron chain 50 is fitted to the lower edge of the mud curtain 10, the end of the counterweight iron chain 50 being connected to the metal locking eye 11 at the bottom of the mud curtain 10 by a U-shaped buckle 60, with reference to Figure 6.It will be appreciated that the length of the counterweight iron chain 50 is equal to the length of the mud curtain 10 and is disposed along the underside of the mud curtain 10. In particular, the connection to a metallic locking eye 11 at the bottom of the mud curtain 10 is made by means of a U-shaped buckle 60. Its primary function is to add a downward pulling force at the lower end of the sludge curtain 10 so that the sludge curtain 10 always remains upright under the influence of environmental factors such as waves to achieve a dirt protection effect.In summary, the dirt protection curtain according to the invention has at least the following advantageous effects:In the embodiment according to the present invention, the curtain of sludge in the water is straightened by means of a float arranged at the top side of the curtain of sludge and a counterweight iron chain arranged at the bottom side of the curtain of sludge.
