Gold mining unit

Abstract

The gold on the seabed was embedded in hard bedrock, and there was no way to extract it. [Solution] The gold mining unit consists of a soft-wearing air bag, a timer-controlled airbag, a storage box, a unit that separates with high water pressure, and a mine that explodes upon impact with the seabed. The mine, separated by high water pressure in the sea, destroys the gold-containing bedrock on the seabed, turning it into gold-containing rubble. The gold-containing rubble is collected in the storage box, and the storage box is floated to the surface of the sea by the buoyancy of the timer-controlled airbag.

[0004] Bedrock containing gold on the seabed including deep sea is destroyed with mines, and the resulting gold-containing debris is mined and transported to the sea surface. [[Means for Solving the Problem]]

[0005] In advance, an autonomous AI underwater drone equipped with high-brightness LED lighting for deep sea use and an ultra-high sensitivity color camera captures video images of the deep seabed, and accurate position information of the AI underwater drone is collected via ultrasonic waves from a plurality of ships An accurate "seabed video stereoscopic map" added with GPS position information is created by making full use of AI. Based on this information, a "gold mining unit" is dropped into the sea at a location where gold-containing bedrock exists, to collect gold-containing debris. The gold mining unit comprises an air bag for soft landing, a timer-set airbag, a storage box, The gold mining unit consists of a "bottom cover formation mechanism" or "debris storage mechanism," a unit that separates using high water pressure, and a mine that explodes upon impact with the seabed. When the gold mining unit is thrown into the sea, it falls through the water at a relatively fast speed to near the seabed. During its descent, the unit that separates using high water pressure activates, and once the mine is separated, it falls first at a relatively high speed and explodes on the seabed, destroying the gold-containing bedrock and turning it into gold-containing debris. The gold mining unit, from which the heavy mine has been separated, is then fitted with a softening air bag. The vessel arrives (softly attaches) to the rubble-covered seabed relatively slowly, and using the energy of the seabed collision, moves the rack upward, which in turn moves a series of interconnected gears, which in turn moves a bottom plate fixed to the final gear, forming the bottom and placing the rubble into the storage box. Subsequently, a timer-set airbag deploys, and the buoyancy causes the storage box containing the gold-containing rubble to float to the surface of the sea. Alternatively, the energy from the seabed collision could unlock the mainspring's mechanism, and the mainspring... With intricate movements like a mechanical doll, it uses a spring-driven mechanism. The system collects the debris, then a timer-set airbag deploys, and the buoyancy causes the storage box containing the gold-containing debris to float to the surface of the sea. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This technology will allow for the destruction of gold-containing bedrock on the seabed, including deep-sea areas, which has been considered extremely difficult until now, and the transportation of the resulting gold-containing debris to the surface. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] An overview of the technology used to bring gold-containing debris from the seabed to the surface. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] It was pre-equipped with high-brightness LED lighting and an ultra-high-sensitivity color camera designed for deep-sea use. The video footage of the deep seabed taken by the "autonomous AI underwater drone" and the footage from multiple ships The system uses AI to collect precise location information using ultrasound from an AI-powered underwater drone, and then uses AI to create an accurate "3D underwater image map" with added GPS location information. Based on this information, a "gold mining unit" is deployed into the sea in areas where gold-containing bedrock is present to collect gold-bearing debris. The gold mining unit includes a soft-wear air bag, a timer-set air bag, and a storage box. The gold mining unit consists of a "bottom cover formation mechanism" or "debris storage mechanism," a unit that separates using high water pressure, and a mine that explodes upon impact with the seabed. When the gold mining unit is thrown into the sea, it falls through the water at a relatively fast speed to near the seabed. During its descent, the unit that separates using high water pressure activates, and once the mine is separated, it falls first at a relatively high speed and explodes on the seabed, destroying the gold-containing bedrock and turning it into gold-containing debris. The gold mining unit, from which the heavy mine has been separated, is then fitted with a softening air bag. The vessel arrives (softly attaches) to the rubble-covered seabed relatively slowly, and using the energy of the seabed collision, moves the rack upward, which in turn moves a series of interconnected gears, which in turn moves a bottom plate fixed to the final gear, forming the bottom and placing the rubble into the storage box. Subsequently, a timer-set airbag deploys, and the buoyancy causes the storage box containing the gold-containing rubble to float to the surface of the sea. Alternatively, the energy from the seabed collision could unlock the mainspring's mechanism, and the mainspring... With intricate movements like a mechanical doll, it uses a spring-driven mechanism. The system collects the debris, then a timer-set airbag deploys, and the buoyancy causes the storage box containing the gold-containing debris to float to the surface of the sea.

[0009] Figure 1 shows that when a gold mining unit consisting of a flexible air bag, a timer-controlled airbag, a storage box, a bottom lid forming mechanism or "debris storage mechanism," a unit that separates using high water pressure, and a mine that explodes upon impact with the seabed is thrown into the sea, it falls through the water at a relatively fast speed to near the seabed. Before reaching the seabed, the unit that separates using high water pressure activates, and once the mine is separated, it falls at a relatively high speed and explodes on the seabed, destroying the gold-containing bedrock and turning it into gold-containing debris. The gold mining unit, from which the heavy mine has been separated, is then fitted with a softening air bag. They attach relatively slowly to the rubble-covered seabed, utilizing the energy from seabed collisions. By using this mechanism, the rack is moved upward, which moves the multiple gears to which the rack is interconnected, and the bottom plate fixed to the final gear is moved to form the bottom of the storage box (bottom lid forming mechanism), thereby placing the rubble containing gold into the storage box. Subsequently, a timer-set airbag deploys, and the buoyancy causes the storage box containing the rubble containing gold to float on the surface of the sea. Alternatively, the energy from the seabed collision could be used to release the spring mechanism's lock (for example, by setting a release lever at the bottom of the storage box, which is pressed when the box reaches the seabed, releasing the lock), and the spring-driven mechanism could collect the gold-containing debris (debris storage mechanism) with complex movements like a wind-up automaton. After that, a timer-set airbag could deploy, and the buoyancy could cause the storage box containing the gold-containing debris to float to the surface of the sea. Regarding the bottom cover forming mechanism, we believe that by creating a larger backlash between the multiple gears, there is a slight time lag after the storage box is softened, allowing the rubble containing gold to be properly stored in the storage box before the bottom cover is formed (closed). However, if this doesn't work (i.e., the bottom lid closes before enough gold-containing rubble is placed inside the storage box), there is a method of equipping the storage box with a battery or motor and, after the storage box has softened, allowing sufficient time for the gold-containing rubble to be placed inside before electrically closing the bottom lid. The bottom cover is formed by moving a bellows or moving a plurality of bottom plates. Supplementary Description There are three reasons for providing a mine. One is to destroy the seabed bedrock, Another reason is that, in order to softly land the storage box on the seabed, it is necessary to provide an air bag, which takes time for the storage box to slowly fall to the deep seabed. However, the mine is very heavy (about several hundred kilograms), so that when the mine is attached, the falling speed in seawater is increased, which shortens the cycle time of gold mining. That is, the mine also serves to increase the falling speed in seawater. By means of a unit that separates under water pressure, the mine is separated from the gold mining unit before reaching the seabed, falls and explodes first, so the gold mining unit is safe. Moreover, since the mine and the gold mining unit follow the same falling route, as the third reason, gold-containing debris can be mined without deviating from the exploded position. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] It becomes possible to destroy gold-containing bedrock on the seabed including deep sea areas, which has been considered extremely difficult until now, and transport the resulting gold-containing debris to the sea surface.
