Fig. 2 a schematically shows the stereogram of the excavating equipment excavating material from water-bed 6.Excavating equipment comprises drag head main body 11 and is connected to the baffle plate 12 of drag head main body 11 in a movable manner.As shown in Fig. 2 a, baffle plate can rotate around rotation RA, but baffle plate 12 and drag head main body 11 also can have alternative relative motion, such as, and the translational motion that can be combined with rotary motion.
Baffle plate 12 along predetermined path movement, and can have predetermined one-movement-freedom-degree, and this degree of freedom is represented by particular range.According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 a to Fig. 2 c and Fig. 3, baffle plate can rotate on a rotating range relative to drag head main body 11, this scope normally 50 °.
Bias unit 60 is arranged on the top of excavating equipment, and this bias unit is connected to baffle plate 12 and drag head main body 11, and this bias unit is arranged to produce between drag head main body 11 and baffle plate 12 and apply bias force.Baffle plate 12 pushes in water-bed 6 by bias force on the direction be rotated down.
In the predetermined portions of this scope, (such as, in the top 25% of this scope) applies bias force.In the rotating range mentioned above normally example of 50 °, in top 25%, apply bias force cause the bias force being applied to baffle plate 12 in 12.5 °, top.Certainly, biased part can be any suitable percentage, such as, and 40%, 60%, 80 or 100%.In the remainder (except 100%) of this scope, baffle plate 12 is not biased.
Different bias units 60 can be used, such as, torsionspring 61 or disc spring 63.
Power transmission structure 62 can be provided so that bias unit (such as, torsionspring 61 or disc spring 63) is mounted to excavating equipment, and guarantee that bias force is applied to baffle plate 12.This will hereafter explain in more detail.
Fig. 2 a shows the torsionspring 61 at the top of excavating equipment in (in use) perpendicular to excavation direction DD and on the direction being parallel to water-bed 6.Rod member 621 (parts of power transmission structure 62) is vertically mounted to torsionspring 61 towards the tail end of excavating equipment and torsionspring 61.Rod member 621 can rotate around longitudinal axis 625.
Power transmission structure 62 also comprises connecting rod 622, and this connecting rod is rotationally attached to the far-end of the first rod member 621 forming rotation 627.
As shown in Fig. 2 a, connector is arranged on the top of baffle plate 12 as the parts of power transmission structure 62, and in this case, this baffle plate is formed by two projection pieces 623.Projection piece 623 is rotationally attached to the connecting rod 622 forming rotation 624.
Connecting rod 622 and rod member 621 by rotatable and slidably connecting portion be connected.Connecting rod is included in the groove that the top section of connecting rod 622 extends, and rod member 621 is such as connected with connecting rod slidably by bolt.
As clearlying show that in figure 2 c, this schematically describes the lateral view of excavating equipment, and rod member 621 has arm L1, and connecting rod 622 has arm L2.
Power transmission structure 62 is adjustable is applied to moment on baffle plate 12 to be arranged through bias unit 60.Can carry out regulating changing the position that connecting rod 622 is attached with connector (in this case, this connector is formed by two projection pieces 623).
Adjustment force transmission structure also allows to arrange predetermined scope.Stop can be provided with the movement of defining baffle, such as, stop can be provided to limit the movement of rod member 621, thus the maximum magnitude being used for baffle plate 12 is set.Stop can be provided to prevent the overburden of spring 61,63.
Such as, if rotation 624 is positioned at the upper opening (as shown in figure) provided by projection piece 623, so this scope can be 20 °, wherein, and baffle plate 12 biased (the biased part of 100%).
If rotation 624 is positioned at the second high opening provided by projection piece 623, so this scope can be 30 °, and wherein, 20 °, the top of this scope can be biased (the biased part of 66.6%).
If rotation 624 is positioned at the next to the lowest opening provided by projection piece 623, so this scope can be 40 °, and wherein, 20 °, the top of this scope can be biased (the biased part of 50%).
If rotation 624 is positioned at the minimum opening provided by projection piece 623, so this scope can be 50 °, and wherein, 20 °, the top of this scope can be biased (the biased part of 40%).
Can use spring assembly, such as, torsionspring 61, when being out of shape, this spring produces larger power.This is equally applicable to disc spring (with reference to figure 3, providing an example of disc spring).
Therefore, bias force is not constant in the part of scope.This can by relative to baffle plate 12 rotation RA position rotating axis 624 and 625 and by carefully selecting length L1 and L2 to overcome at least partly, namely, make according to the rotation of baffle plate around rotation RA, rod member 621 makes this rotation offset the activity of spring around the rotation of rotation 625.The conventional activity of torsionspring is given (see Fig. 4 a) by the linear relationship between the anglec of rotation and moment of torsion.In order to realize applying constant power on baffle plate 12, preload can be applied to torsionspring 61.Ratio D (D=(the d angle of the change of the change of the angle of torsionspring and the angle of baffle plate spring/ d angle baffle plate)) preferably offset spring activity.A similar example can be seen in fig. 4b, the figure shows along the ratio D of vertical curve and the angle along horizontal baffle plate 12.Point C is determined by the power of preload and expectation.Slope α is determined by the preload of spring rate and applying.
In fact, when adjustment force transmitting device 62, the ratio changing had between torsionspring 61 and baffle plate 12.When torsionspring, the moment on spring is multiplied by the moment that gearratio equals on baffle plate.
Can see from Fig. 2 a to Fig. 2 c, bias force is applied in the upper part of the mobile scope of baffle plate.In the low portion of this scope, because rod member 621 freely can be slided by the groove of connecting rod 622, so baffle plate 12 can move and not be subject to the impact of bias unit 60.
Fig. 3 shows alternative embodiment, wherein, can no longer have torsionspring 61, but arranges Hookean spring 63 (such as, disc spring 63), and this spring attaches is to protuberance 631.Torsionspring 61 is replaced by bar, and this bar can rotate around longitudinal main body axis 625 of this bar.Protuberance 631 can be formed as a part for rod member 621.
Disc spring 63 is arranged between the lower end of protuberance and drag head main body 11 or suction tube 2.
Will be appreciated that, in Fig. 2 a to Fig. 2 c and excavating equipment shown in Figure 3 can be combined with the excavation boats and ships 1 shown in Fig. 1.
The use of embodiment will be described in more detail now.Described embodiment can be used in the method for excavating material from the bottom.This method can relate to the excavation boats and ships 1 using and describe with reference to figure 1 and the excavating equipment described with reference to figure 2a to Fig. 3.
By excavating equipment is reduced to submarine site until drag head 10 is placed on water-bed 6 and can starts to excavate.Above-mentioned cable controller 5 can be used to complete reduction.
Next, by making excavation boats and ships navigate by water on excavation direction thus pull drag head 10 on excavation direction DD on water-bed 6 to complete excavation.
The bias force that bias unit 60 can be arranged to applying is arranged.Such as, torsionspring or Hookean spring can be adjusted to arrange bias force.Such as torsionspring 61 is set by rotating torsionspring 61 relative to excavating equipment.
