The underwater pump (3) is driven by a hydraulic drive means which is mounted on the vehicle, or by a hydraulic device means used for driving the vehicle, a turntable and/or the arm (2) of the dredging apparatus, or a travelling construction engineering machine. The underwater pump (3) may be easily transported by the vehicle to a desired working position to improve the working efficiency. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Dredging apparatus This invention relates to a dredging apparatus for dredging rivers, pumping sand from a water bottom, discharging sediment or mud and sand, and excavating earth.
In the conventional dredging work of the civil engineering, a support structure or a tower for supporting a dredging apparatus is assembled in a working field. An underwater device such as an underwater pump, or an underwater agitating pump is suspended from the support structure and is submerged in the water, while a power supply source for driving the underwater device is mounted on the ground.
However, when the dredging work is carried out over a wider area, the submerged position of the underwater device has to be frequently changed so that the support structure or the tower for suspending the underwater device has to be disassembled and displaced or moved to be reconstructed on a new working position and the power supply source for driving the underwater device has to be also displaced or moved to the new working position. Consequently, the resetting of the underwater device takes a considerable time. Therefore, the dredging work is often interrupted making the dredging operation quite inefficient.
In the conventional excavating work, a travelling hydraulic shovel is used to draw up the mud and sand by means of a bucket mounted on the arm end thereof. However, when the water remains in the excavated grooves, or when the mud and sand settled in the waterway is dredged up, the work of drawing by the bucket is inefficient due to the presence of the water.
Therefore, it is a primary object of this invention to provide a mobile dredging apparatus which can easily travel to any dredging position to improve the working efficiency.
It is another object of the invention to provide a mobile dredging apparatus, which can move an underwater device together with the dredging apparatus to a working position to improve the working efficency.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a mobile dredging apparatus which can dredge in any working field without necessitating an electric power supply source or a hydraulic supply source.
In the accompanying drawings:- Figure 1 is a side view of a dredging apparatus according to the present invention; Figure 2 is a diagram of a hydraulic circuit used in the dredging apparatus; Figure 3 is a vertical section of a lower part of an underwater pump provided with agitating blades.
This invention now to be described with reference to Figure 1 comprises a dredging apparatus A having a hydraulic shovel 1 which is usually used as a travelling tracked vehicle for engineering work, and an underwater device such as an underwater pump 3 which is removably mounted on the tip end of an arm 2 of the shovel 1. Instead of the underwater pump 3, an underwater agitating pump may be used as required. The underwater pump 3 has an impeller 3a fixed to the lower end of an output shaft of a built-in hydraulic motor (not shown) near the lower opening. The underwater pump 3 is housed in a casing 3b, to which a suction hose 3c is connected. With a suction force caused by the rotation of the impeller 3a, a mixed fiuid consisting of sand and water is sucked into the casing 3b under pressure and then is transferred from the casing 3b to the suction hose 3c.The underwater pump 3 is also driven from a known hydraulic drive device.
The hydraulic shovel 1 is provided with a hydraulic drive device for driving the track 4 and for horizontally turning a turntable and for vertically tilting the arm 2. The hydraulic drive device includes a hydraulic pump operated by an engine E. When the hydraulic pressure is applied to hydraulic cylinders 5, 6, 7, the articulated arm 2 is tilted. Then, the shovel 1 is turned by the turntable to turn the arm 2.
The underwater pump 3 also utilizes the above hydraulic drive device for the hydraulic shovel 1 as a hydraulic drive device thereof.
The hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic device is schematically shown in Figure 2, and comprises a hydraulic circuit for driving the hydraulic shovel 1 and another hydraulic circuit for driving the underwater pump 3. First and second pumps P1, P2 are actuated by an engine E. T is an oil tank, andM1,M2, M3, M are, a one-side track driving motor, an otherside track driving motor, a shovel turning motor, and an underwater pump driving motor. The underwater pump driving motor M is connected to the hydraulic circuit which includes the second hydraulic pump P2. However it can be connected to any desired position, for example to the hydraulic circuit which includes the track driving motor M,. A directional control valve V is connected to the underwater pump 3 by way of oil supply and return lines T1, T2.
The upper end of the underwater pump 3 is connected by a pivot pin 10 to the tip end of the arm 2. A hole in which the pivot pin for pivoting a bucket is utilized for supporting the underwater pump 3.
A connecting rod R connects the pivot pin 10 with a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 7, whereby the underwater pump 3 is swingable on the tip end of the arm 2. The supply and return lines T1, T2 for supplying and discharging the pressure oil to and from the underwater pump 3 are provided along one side of the arm 2, and have one end connected to an oil inlet 3d and an oil outlet 3e respectively, and the other ends connected to an oil chamber of the hydraulic shovel 1. These supply and return lines T1,T2are made of flexible tubes to follow the tilting action of the arm 2.
In the dredging operation of the working apparatus A, the engine E is driven to bring the hydraulic shovel 1 to the dredging work field, and the hydraulic cylinders 5, 6, 7 are actuated simultaneously or separateiy to tilt the arm 2 which causes the submerging of the underwater pump 3 in the water.
When the underwater pump 3 is driven by the directional control valve V after being submerged in the water, the sand or mud below and around the underwater pump 3 are mixed with water by the rotation of the impeller 3a to form the mixed slurry, and such slurry is transferred through the hose 3c onto the ground. Then, the arm 2 is tilted and horizontally turned by the turntable to move the underwater pump 3 to another position to carry out new dredging work. Such moving of the underwater pump 3 is possible within the maximum turning radius of the arm 2.
The hydraulic shovel 1 can also easily travel to bring the underwater pump 3 to the desired dredging position to enable the dredging work in such wider area.
Agitating blades 3g are fixed to the tip end of the output shaft 3f the underwater pump 3 as shown in Figure 3 to agitate the mud or sand and water. These agitating blades 3g improves the pumping efficiency of the underwater pump 3.
If a jet nozzle is provided in the underwater pump 3 to mix the mud and sand in the periphery thereof with the water, the efficiency of the pumping operation is further enhanced.
Although, in this embodiment, the hydraulic shovel 1 is illustrated as the mobile vehicle, a truck or a tractor may be used if provided with the articulated arm and the hydraulic driving device for driving the underwater pump, and a bulldozer, a truck crane, a pile driver, or a crawler crane may be used without independently providing the hydraulic supply source for the driving of the underwater pump if provided with the hydraulic driving system.
The submerged position of the underwater pump may be changed at wiil, and the support structure or the tower for suspending the underwater pump therefrom is unnecessary so that the dredging work may be efficiently carried out over a wide range. The hydraulic drive device of the underwater pump is connected to the hydraulic drive device of the travelling car so that the underwater pump may be set and driven in any working field without having its own electric power supply source or hydraulic supply source.
