  • the underwater mining device is characterized in that a receptacle for a conveying container is formed on the work platform, that the conveying container is detachably mounted and held in the receptacle, that the conveying line opens into the conveying container, with soil material removed being able to be accommodated in the conveying container, and in a separation device is provided in the conveying container, which is designed to retain removed soil material with a desired particle size and to separate liquid and soil material below the desired particle size.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to take up and temporarily store degraded soil material directly on the work platform.
  • the mined soil material is therefore not passed on to the environment or to a receptacle removed from the work platform.
  • By taking up and storing the mined soil material it is easy to convey.
  • Another aspect of the invention is to receive the mined soil material in a production container which is detachably mounted on the working platform of the underwater mining device.
  • the delivery container can be detached from the work platform when it reaches a predetermined fill level and can be removed or removed Be emptied. Then an empty delivery container can be placed on the work platform again. In this way, soil material that has been degraded can be taken up reliably and without significant pollution of the environment and can preferably be removed to the water surface.
  • a further aspect of the invention consists in sieving the removed soil material in the conveying container by means of a separating device, so that fine-grained material is separated from the conveying container. This reduces the amount of soil material to be removed with the delivery container
  • the removal device can in principle be a drilling device or any other suitable removal device. It is particularly preferred according to one embodiment of the invention that the removal device is a milling cutter which has at least one milling wheel which is driven to rotate about an approximately horizontal axis of rotation.

  • the mined soil material first flows through the riser in the delivery container and is only at the top of the delivery container.
  • This introduction of the degraded soil material which is generally mixed with the surrounding water, makes it possible for a sedimentation process to take place within the delivery container.
  • the solid soil material can sediment on the bottom area of the delivery container, while the appropriately clarified water can escape again at an upper side of the delivery container. This improves the filling of the conveyor container with the removed soil material as the actual payload.
