The present application relates to the technical field of bridge construction equipment, in particular to a suction dredger for use on an underwater hard soil layer.
Generally, in the construction of deep-water open caisson foundation of a bridge, the soil layer at the bottom of the open caisson foundation needs to be sucked off before the open caisson is preforming soil-unloading sinking, or during the construction of the steel cofferdam, the sinking method of the conventional double-walled steel cofferdam in the overburden is mostly selected as mud-suctioning sinking. Therefore, the suction dredger is widely used in bridge construction.
In related art, air suction dredging facilities are widely used due to its simple construction process, low investment, low cost, and fast mud-taking speed. The conventional air suction dredger is mainly composed of a suction dredging head, a suction dredging pipe and a high-pressure air pipe, and the main principle thereof is to use a large internal and external pressure difference to suck sediment through the suction dredging head. However, due to the small disturbance to the overburden, the effect of the mud suction of this kind of suction dredger is relatively poor, which affects the quality and efficiency of the mud suction. At present, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of the mud suction of the suction dredger, some auxiliary structures are often added on the suction dredging head, such as a mixing rod, which is configured to rotate at a certain speed while the suction dredging head sucks the mud, so as to stir the sludge around the suction dredging head, so as to ensure better effect of the mud suction. In addition, it can also better clean the sludge adsorbed on the suction dredging head.
However, at present, the hard soil layers are sometimes encountered in bridge construction, the existing suction dredgers usually work on the upper surface of the soft soil layers, and cannot achieve good effect of the mud suction when working on the upper surface of the hard soil layers; and in addition, there often exists sundries, such as large block stones, at the bottom of the water, which are easy to block the suction dredging head and affects the effect of the mud suction to a great extent.
The embodiment of the present application provides a suction dredger for use on an underwater hard soil layer, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when a suction dredger works on an underwater hard soil layer, the effect of the mud suction is poor and blockages are common.
In the first aspect, the present invention provides a suction dredger for use on an underwater hard soil layer, comprising:
In some embodiments, the pressurizing assembly comprises:
In some embodiments, the mud-breaking mechanism comprises:
In some embodiments, the mud-breaking assembly comprises a water jet pipe and a nozzle arranged at an end of the water jet pipe, the water jet pipe communicates with the corresponding water outlet, a connection between the water jet pipe and the water outlet is also provided with a rotating part, the rotating part is connected with a driving motor, and the driving motor is configured to drive the rotating part to rotate to adjust an angle of the water jet pipe.
In some embodiments, the blockage-prevention assembly is detachably clamped with the suction dredging pipe, one end of the blockage-prevention assembly away from the suction dredging pipe is in a serrated shape, and a grating in the shape of a well is arranged in the blockage-prevention assembly.
In some embodiments, the blockage-prevention assembly comprises a connecting head and at least three curved blockage-prevention parts, the connecting head is annular and rotatably connected with the bottom of the suction dredging pipe, one end of all the curved blockage-prevention parts are arranged on the connecting head at intervals, and the bottom of the suction dredging pipe is within a vertical projection area of all the curved blockage-prevention parts, and a plurality of blockage-prevention heads are arranged on both sides of each of the curved blockage-prevention parts at intervals.
In some embodiments, an included angle between the pressurization hole and a horizontal plane is not less than 45°.
In some embodiments, the top of the suction dredging pipe is also connected with a mud discharge pipe, the mud discharge pipe is L-shaped, and a corner thereof is arc-shaped.
In some embodiments, the suction dredging pipe and the mud discharge pipe are connected by means of a connecting flange, and the air collecting box is also connected with a pipeline located at the top thereof by means of a connecting flange.
In some embodiments, the number of the mud-breaking assemblies is 4 to 8.
The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in the present application are as follows:
The embodiment of the present application provides a suction dredger for use on an underwater hard soil layer, wherein the pressurizing assembly can form air with a high flow rate in the suction dredging pipe by means of the pressurization holes, the bottom of the mud suctioning mechanism is provided with a mud-breaking mechanism that can break the underwater hard soil layer, in addition, the bottom of the suction dredging pipe is also provided with the blockage-prevention assembly that can effectively prevent the suction dredging pipe from being blocked during the suction process. Therefore, when the suction dredger is located in the underwater hard soil layer, the effect of the mud suction of the suction dredger is greatly improved compared with the traditional suction dredger, which is mainly reflected in that due to the setting of the mud-breaking mechanism, the hard soil layer can be easily adsorbed, and due to the setting of the blockage-prevention assembly, the pipe blockage caused by large soil blocks and hard stones can be effectively avoided during the suction process, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the mud suction and the effect of the mud suction.

Specifically, the pressurizing assembly comprises: an air collecting box 12 and a high-pressure air pump. The air collecting box 12 mainly comprises an air collecting cavity, and the air collecting box 12 is configured such that: the suction dredging pipe 10 is inserted in the air collecting box 12 and passes through the air collecting cavity, and the pressurization holes 11 located on the suction dredging pipe 10 all communicate with the air collecting cavity. The high-pressure air pump is arranged above the air collecting box 12, generally on a horizontal plane, and is connected with the top of the air collecting box 12 through a pipeline, and communicates with the air collecting cavity, and the high-pressure air pump is configured to inject air with a high flow rate into the air collecting cavity to form an upward air flow with a high flow rate in the suction dredging pipe 10. The specific principle is as follows: when it is necessary to suck the mud, the high-pressure air pump is started to blow the air into the air collecting box 12, the high-pressure gas is collected in the air collecting cavity and passes through the pressurization holes 11. Since the directions of the pressurization holes 11 are all inclined upward, as shown in

A plurality of rotating curved blockage-prevention parts are equivalent to forming a blockage-prevention protection zone at the bottom of the suction dredging pipe 10. When the large soil blocks come over, the rotating curved blockage-prevention parts can easily break the soil blocks, and when the large stones come over, the stones may be knocked away or broken by the rotating curved blockage-prevention parts, which can effectively prevent these large obstacles from entering the pipeline of the suction dredging pipe 10 and causing blockage. In addition, the rotating curved blockage-prevention part can also play the role of breaking the hard soil layer to a certain extent, and assist the mud-breaking assemblies 20 to work together.
Specifically, an included angle between the pressurization hole 11 and a horizontal plane is not less than 45°, so as to ensure that the high-pressure gas from the pressurization holes 11 can move upward. As shown in
