Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of marine equipment, in particular to a submarine mineral transportation device.
Background
With the continuous development of world economy, land mineral resources are increasingly exhausted, and countries around the world are directing their eyes to the ocean from the beginning of the last century. There are six main categories of mineral resources found in the ocean: 1. petroleum and natural gas; 2. solid mineral products such as coal, iron and the like; 3. seashore placer; 4. multi-metal nodules and cobalt-manganese rich crusts; 5. hydrothermal reservoirs; 6. and (5) combustible ice. Among them, polymetallic nodule has become a development hotspot in many countries in the world due to the characteristics of wide distribution range, high metal content and the like.
According to the university of california professor Mero in the united states, the polymetallic nodules and crusts on the ocean floor are estimated to be 117 billion tons. The multi-metal nodules and the crusts contain more than 70 elements such as copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, gold, silver and the like, wherein the average grades of the copper, cobalt, nickel and manganese are respectively 1.00%, 0.22%, 1.30% and 25.0%, the reserves of the four metals are respectively 50 hundred million tons, 30 hundred million tons, 90 hundred million tons and 2000 hundred million tons, which are equivalent to 9 times, 539 times, 83 times and 57 times of land reserves, the manganese nodules are distributed on the sea floor of 2000-6000 m, and the cobalt crusts are distributed on the sea mountain of 1500-4000 m, so the technical difficulty of exploitation of the manganese nodules and the cobalt crusts is very great. Since the beginning of the last century, the world nations have conducted extensive research on deep sea manganese nodule and cobalt crust mining techniques, and different mining methods have been proposed, while mining systems consisting of mining vessels, undersea mining vehicles and hydraulic conveying systems are considered as the most commercially viable mining methods.
In the process of continuous development of the deep sea mining system, the most basic problems must be solved all the time: i.e. how to most efficiently collect, lift the ore at the sea bottom to the sea surface, transport it after dehydration to the vessel. Several mining systems were explored early in western developed countries, and they were mainly divided into: a dragline mining system, a continuous rope bucket (CLB) mining system, a shuttle mining system, a fluid lift mining system.
The fluid lifting mining method consists of three parts of submarine collection, ore lifting and water surface support, and is considered as the most promising future deep sea first-generation commercial exploitation system. The system can carry out continuous mining and has high production capacity; the operation of the mining equipment is easy to control, and even the operation can be remotely controlled; in the process of tuberculosis promotion, sediment cannot be diffused, and the influence on the marine ecological environment is small; the recovery rate of tuberculosis is high.
However, the fluid lifting mining method has large dependence on long-distance ore lifting hard pipes, and needs the cooperation of multi-stage water pumps, meanwhile, the hard pipes are easy to corrode in deep sea areas, the flexibility is poor, and the tuberculosis has large abrasion to the pumps, is difficult to maintain and has high cost. Therefore, a new mineral transportation mode is researched to solve the problem of maintenance cost, reduce energy consumption, and facilitate solid-liquid separation on the sea surface, so that the method has very important significance.

The platform 1 is provided with a filling device for converting the movable position of the floater 5, the ascending pipeline 22 and the descending pipeline 21 are mutually communicated, the communicating part is provided with a separation cabin 23, and the other end of the ascending pipeline 22 is communicated with the ore collecting device 4.
Because the seawater is arranged in the ascending pipeline 22, the floats 5 can move upwards under the influence of buoyancy in the ascending pipeline 22, when the floats 5 move in the ascending pipeline 22, the seawater can be driven to flow upwards (which is equivalent to the principle of liquid pumping), and extremely strong suction force can be generated when the seawater flows upwards in the ascending pipeline 22 to transfer the seawater ore in the ore collecting device 4 to the platform 1. When the float 5 rises to the outlet of the rising pipe 22, the packing device will take it out of the rising pipe 22 and send it to the falling pipe 21, where the float 5 moves freely in the falling pipe 21 and drops into the compartment 23, where the float 5 is sent back to the rising pipe 22 via the compartment 23, circulating in sequence. In order to ensure that the power system 2 can provide continuous power, the present embodiment has four descending pipes 21 and one ascending pipe 22, where the length of the pipes is 85m, the outer diameter is 1.5m, and the inner diameter is 1.3m. To ensure that the power system 2 can provide continuous power, 10 floats 5 are placed in each pipeline to realize uninterrupted operation of the floats 5.
As shown in fig. 3: the float 5 comprises a housing 51 and an all-carbon aerogel 52 filled in the housing 51, and a ferrous metal block 53 is provided on top of the housing 51.
The embodiment is based on a fluid lifting mining method, and utilizes upward movement of a light medium floater 5 to drive liquid flow in a pipe as main power so as to realize mineral transportation. The float 5 is made of titanium alloy as the device housing 51, all-carbon aerogel as the internal filler, and expanded graphite as the seal. The device ensures a good tightness so that the entire float 5 fits against the pipe, ensuring the maximum amount of fluid movement.
The float 5 has a diameter of 1.3m, a height of 1m and a wall thickness of 2mm, and the density of the known titanium alloy is 4.51g/cm 3 The density of the all-carbon aerogel is 0.18mg/cm 3 . The resultant force of the light medium movement is about 9080N through calculation, and the initial acceleration is 10.3m/s 2 Meets the requirement of transportation power. The calculation formula is as follows:
F floating device ＝ρvg＝F1.03×10 3 kg/m 3 ×9.8N/kg×1.766m 3 ＝892.7kg
M Total (S) ＝ρ Aerogel ×V Aerogel +ρ Titanium ×V Titanium ＝0.18kg/m 3 ×1.568m 3 +4500kg/m 3 ×0.198m 3 ＝892.7kg
F Closing device ＝F Floating device -mg＝17828.5N-892.7kg×9.8N/kg＝9080N
An "all-carbon aerogel" is a product of drying and solvent removal of a gel in a semi-solid state, and has a solid appearance, a plurality of pores inside, and air-filled pores, so that the density is extremely low. The main components are carbon fibers and graphene fibers, the density is only 0.16 mg per cubic centimeter, which is about 2 times that of hydrogen, lighter than nitrogen and is one sixth of that of air.
The outer shell 51 is made of titanium alloy, and the inside is filled with all-carbon aerogel. The titanium metal and the titanium alloy have the excellent performances of high strength, high specific stiffness, fatigue resistance, good toughness, no magnetism, good welding performance, seawater corrosion resistance and the like, and are high-quality materials for marine equipment. The all-carbon aerogel is in a solid shape, has lighter density than air, and compared with the air serving as a filler, the air-filled all-carbon aerogel avoids the problems of water inflow and air leakage of the floater 5. Iron-containing metal is added into the top interlayer of the floater 5, so that the adsorption of the filling device is facilitated.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2: the packing device comprises a frame body 31 and a rotary table 32 rotationally connected with the frame body 31, wherein a lifting arm 33 is arranged on the rotary table 32, the lifting arm 33 is in sliding connection with the rotary table 32, an electromagnet is arranged at the end part of the lifting arm 33, and a stroke valve for controlling the sliding distance of the lifting arm 33 is arranged on the rotary table 32.
The float 5 filling device is positioned in the sea surface platform 1, and mainly aims to shift the ascending float 5 to the descending pipeline 21 so that the float 5 circularly works. The process imitates the bullet filling process, effectively utilizes the buoyancy and gravity of the floater 5, has simple process structure and convenient maintenance, and greatly reduces energy consumption while realizing continuous transportation.
The drop tubes 21 are spaced 1.8 meters apart, with turntable 32 being 2 meters in diameter, taking into account the fluid velocity and overall structure of the apparatus. During the displacement of the float 5 from the rising pipe 22 to the falling pipe 21, the turntable 32 rotates clockwise, each time the turntable 32 rotates 90 degrees, and since the iron-containing metal block is arranged on the top of the float 5, the lifting arm 33 sucks up the float 5 by the electromagnet at the end of the degree, the float 5 is lifted up by the lifting arm 33 for about 14.5s, and the lifting head translates for about 8.6s, namely, about 4 floats 5 per minute.
As shown in fig. 6: the hydraulic cylinder 7c pushing the floats 5 falling from the descending pipes 21 into the ascending pipes 22 is arranged in the isolation cabin 23, a first cabin plate 71 is arranged between the isolation cabin 23 and the descending pipes 21, a second cabin plate 72 is arranged between the isolation cabin 23 and the ascending pipes 22, a drainage pump is also arranged in the isolation cabin 23, and the first cabin plate 71 and the second cabin plate 72 are both in sliding connection with the isolation cabin 23. One end of the first deck plate 71 and one end of the second deck plate 72 are connected with telescopic cylinders (7 b,7 d) for driving the first deck plate and the second deck plate to slide.
The isolation cabin 23 can play a role in transition of the floater 5 and separation of water, and the operation mode is that two isolation cabin 23 doors are used for dividing a pipeline into three sections, the floater 5 enters the isolation cabin 23 from the descending pipeline 21 through the first cabin plate 71, the first cabin plate 71 is closed, the second cabin plate 72 is opened, the floater 5 is jacked into the ascending pipeline 22 by using a hydraulic cylinder, the second cabin plate 72 is closed, and water is discharged by using a drainage pump. The device is ensured to normally operate by circulation in turn.
The design of the isolation cabin 23 is derived from a submarine cabin door, a submarine is generally provided with a watertight cabin door between every two cabins, and the watertight cabin door can be locked from the inside to prevent the disaster of the whole submarine caused by the damage of a certain cabin, the watertight cabin door of the submarine is made of pressure-resistant materials, and has good pressure resistance, and the protection level of the submarine is that water is fed into the submarine at intervals of two cabins but not sunk, namely, the water fed into the adjacent cabins of the submarine is blocked by the watertight cabin door. The cabin doors of the submarines are provided with thick sealing rings which are made of high-grade red copper materials, are soft and can resist high water pressure. The pressure valve can be screwed up at the outlet, so that the red copper is dead and extruded with the bulkhead, the high water pressure is not used, and the cabin plate is formed in the same way.
As shown in fig. 5: when the floater 5 does free falling motion in the descending pipeline 21, a pair of speed reducing parts 6 are arranged every 5 meters in the descending pipeline 21, so that the floater 5 can descend step by step, and damage to the floater 5 and the pipeline caused by too high dropping speed is avoided. The decelerator 6 includes a link 61 fixed to the descent pipe 21 and a decelerator block 62 hinged to the link 61. When the floater 5 collides with the deceleration block, the deceleration block overturns, and the deceleration block resets after the floater 5 falls.
The collecting device 4 comprises a mining vehicle, a separation cabin 42 and a water pump 40, and the mining vehicle is connected with a mineral conveying pipeline 41 communicated with the ascending pipeline 22. The outlet of the separation cabin is connected with a lifting pipeline 43 communicated with the water suction pump, the inlet of the separation cabin is communicated with the ore conveying pipeline 41, and one end of the separation cabin is communicated with the lifting pipeline 22.
As shown in fig. 4: the separating cabin 42 is internally provided with a material cabin 421, an impeller 422 is arranged in the separating cabin, the impeller rotates under the flow of seawater, and a separation net 423 is arranged at the connection part of the separating cabin and the rising pipeline 22.
The mining vehicle collects the ore in the sea floor and the rising conduit 22 creates suction to transport the ore into the separation chamber via the ore delivery conduit 41, whereby a preliminary separation of the ore can be achieved. The bin 421 temporarily stores mineral into the yankee duct 43. The water-mineral mixture is initially separated by centrifugation, water continues to flow upwards through the separation net, and minerals are thrown into the cabin 421 under the drive of the impeller. The isolation net 423 is mainly an iron net with a gap less than 0.1mm, and prevents small particles from entering the rising pipe 22 to damage the inner wall of the rising pipe 22.
As shown in FIG. 7, the analysis result shows that the diameter of the ore conveying pipeline is 600mm, and the maximum system power and yield can be ensured, and the energy consumption per unit yield can be reduced to the minimum. The device therefore selects this as the hose diameter for use in subsea mineral transport. 1300mm of rising pipeline pipe diameter, the ratio is 6:13, can provide a greater lifting force, at which time the throughput can be guaranteed to be maximized, and system power and energy consumption per unit throughput are minimized.
As shown in fig. 8:
according to a minimum conveying flow formula of the vertical lifting pipeline:
the minimum transport flow rate of this example was found to be 1.69m 3 Per second, the total throughput of the system is 851.55kg/s.
The device mainly comprises a filling device, an isolation cabin, a descending pipeline and 5 pump bodies. The required power of the packing device is about 97.5kw, the required power in the isolation cabin is about 18.98kw, and the power of the speed reducing buckle in the descending pipeline is about 14kw, so that the total power is about 130kw, namely the power consumption of a single float cycle is about one week. The power required for a single pump is 1282.175kw, so the total power of the system of this embodiment is approximately 6540.875kw.
In summary, when the pulp concentration cv=0.2 and the pipe diameter d=600 mm, the unit capacity of the hydraulic lifting system consumes 37.04kJ/Kg, and the unit capacity of the device consumes 7.68kJ/Kg. The calculation result proves that the power system has positive effect on reducing energy consumption, and the power system can be improved by about 5 times. The following energy consumption comparison table:
the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, but one skilled in the art can make common changes and substitutions within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
