Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of loading a suction dredger in which a suspension of sand and water is pumped into the hold of the suction dredger during a loading operation which is carried out in at least two steps, to wit
  • the invention relates to and provides, in addition, a suction dredger for carrying out the method in accordance with the invention, said dredger comprising a hold, a pump for pumping a suspension of sand and water into the hold and effluent means to be set in a first loading step at a high level corresponding to the maximum volume of the hold and in a second loading step at a tower level, the proportions of the hold volume being such that in a first step the suction dredger can be loaded with the sand and water mixture substantially up to its maximum permissible carrying capacity, there being provided control-means for bringing the effluent means to lower and lower levels in dependence upon loading measuring means during the second loading step, said dredger being characterized in that said control-means are adapted to lower the effluent means intermittently in steps.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a preferred embodiment of a suction dredger in accordance with the invention in carrying out the method according to the invention
  • Figures 2 and 3 are each a graph representing the volume of the hold and the weight of the load respectively, when the method according to the invention is carried into effect.
  • the suction dredger 1 shown in Figure 1 is a trawl dredger especially equipped for carrying out the method in accordance with the invention.
  • the suction dredger 1 comprises a hold 3 in a hull 2, a pump 4 for pumping a suspension of sand and water into the hold 3 and effluent means 9.
  • the pump 4 communicates at one end with a suction pipe 5, a trailing suction head 10 of which is dragged on along the ground 11 below the water 12, when the suction dredger 1 is propelled in the direction of the arrow 14 by means of a propeller 13.
  • the pump 4 communicates with a loading pipe 6, from which the water and sand suspension gets into the hold 3.
  • the effluent means 9 comprise a vertical, fixed tube 15 communicating with the water 12, a tube 8 vertically displaceable in the former and having at the top end an overflow dish 7 and a hydraulic cylinder 16, the piston rod 17 of which is connected with the dish 7 for the vertical adjustment of the overflow rim 18 of the overflow dish 7.
  • the hold 3 has very large proportions as compared with the carrying capacity of the suction dredger 1, that is to say, the hold 3 can be filled with sand only up to the level Z,,,.
  • the loading operation is performed in at least two steps 21 and 22 (see Figures 2 and 3).
  • the overflow rim 18 is held in its highest position 18"' indicated in Figure 1 by broken lines, at least at such a high level that the hold 3 is loaded essentially up to its maximum volume 19 and up to the maximum carrying capacity 20 of the suction dredger 1 with a suspension of sand and water pumped into the hold 3.
  • the graphs drawn in broken lines represent the volume V t and the weight W, respectively of the total quantities of sand and water contained in the hold 3
  • the solid lines V s and W s represent the volume and the weight respectively of sand settled down in the hold 3.
  • second step 22 is carried out, in which additional suspension is pumped into the hold 3 and in which the effluent means are lowered in dependence upon the weight of the load in the hold 3 to an extent such that the suction dredger 1 remains essentially loaded up to its maximum permissible carrying capacity 20.
  • the graph W t indicated by broken lines extends substantially horizontally along the dotted line 23. This dotted, straight line 23 and the naturally varying dotted line 24 of Figure 2 would be attained, if the overflow rim 18 were gradually lowered. According to the invention, however, the overflow rim 18 is lowered intermittently rather than gradually.
  • the effluent means 9 comprise a control-rod 26 with a head 27, which moves along pulse generators 28 during the upward and downward movements of the overflow rim 18.
  • the pulse generators 28 correspond each to, a level of the overflow rim 18, where it is retained for some time.
  • the suction dredger 1 In order to maintain the suction dredger 1 essentially loaded up to its maximum permissible carrying capacity 20, it is equipped with a draught gauge 29, from which a signal is applied to a comparator 30, in which a value of the maximum permissible carrying capacity is set.
  • the comparator 30 applies a pulse to a control-means 31 of a hydraulic valve 32, which governs the fluid flow to and from both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 16.
  • the overflow dish 7 then moves down by one level difference until the head 27 of the rod 26 reaches a pulse generator 28, which applies a pulse to a control-member 33 for setting the control-valve 32 in a stop position in order to prevent the overflow dish 7 from moving further downwards.
