Dredging equipment

Abstract

To provide a dredging device for small rivers that reduces the risk of river flooding. [Solution] Two screw drills 2 are positioned at the front of the device to scoop up sludge and other debris accumulated in the river. The rotation of the screw drills then moves the sludge and other debris upward and backward along the slope of the slider, dropping it into a tank at the rear. Self-propelled crawlers are positioned at the bottom of the device. Sideways tires are positioned on the left and right sides of the device to adjust the distance between the device and the riverbank.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dredging device for small rivers.

Background Art

[0002] Even if small rivers flowing near residential areas are protected by revetment works, sand and mud accumulate over time, and plants such as reeds grow, causing obstruction to the water flow.

Disclosure of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] During times of increased water volume such as during typhoons or heavy rains, due to mud and plants growing there, the water flow struggles and there is a risk of flooding.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] An invention of a dredging device for small rivers with a structure that scoops up mud etc. using two screw drills and a slider for dredging mud etc. in small rivers has been devised.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] Even if used at a frequency of about once every few years, by using the dredging device for small rivers with a structure that scoops up mud etc. using two screw drills and a slider of the present invention to dredge the mud etc. in the river, the risk of river flooding can be significantly reduced.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0006] The present invention is composed of a main body frame, two screw drills and a slider, a power unit, a mud tank, lateral tires, and a self-propelled crawler.

[0007] The main body frame is box-shaped and sized like a small truck so that it can operate in small rivers.

[0008] The two screw drills and slider are positioned at the front of the main frame, designed to penetrate sludge and other materials at an angle. The screw drills rotate to scoop up sludge and other materials from small rivers, and then, while still rotating, move the sludge and other materials upward along the slider before dropping them into the sludge tank.

[0009] The power unit is located beneath the two angled screw drills and slider, and is the power source for the two screw drills and the self-propelled crawler.

[0010] The sludge tank is positioned at the rear of the main frame, and the tank is designed to be replaceable, allowing it to be lifted from a road next to a small river.

[0011] The sideways-facing tires are positioned on both sides of the main frame to adjust the distance between the main frame and the revetment of small rivers.

[0012] The self-propelled crawler is positioned at the bottom of the main frame to adjust the distance from the riverbed of small rivers, and also to adjust the self-propulsion and direction of travel. [Industrial applicability]

[0013] The dredging device for small rivers according to this invention can be mass-produced industrially and therefore has industrial applicability. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
