For example, an electric cylinder that expands and contracts by electric power can be used instead of the hydraulic cylinder. The earth and sand separation container 4 may be supported by the support frame 3 via a link mechanism, and the earth and sand separation container 4 may be vibrated by operating the link mechanism by a driving device such as a motor. .

  Next, a method for separating dredged soil using the earth and sand separator 1 as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in the above-described embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

  Reference numeral 30 in the figure denotes a grab dredger, and a grab bucket 31 having a plurality of shells that can be opened and closed is suspended and supported by a crane device 32 so as to be lifted and lowered.

  In the method of the present invention, first, the earth and sand separator 1 is moved to a desired water area, here, a towing target water area by towing or the like, and, as shown in FIG. The earth and sand separator 1 is installed in the water area. Note that earth and sand mixed with foreign matter 5 such as wood chips (hereinafter referred to as foreign matter mixed earth and sand 6) is accumulated on the bottom A of the dredged area.

  Then, after the installation work is completed, a dredged sand loading process is performed in which the foreign material mixed sand 6 is loaded into the sediment separating container 4 in conjunction with the dredging process.

  In the dredged sand loading step, for example, the grab bucket 31 is settled on the bottom A of the dredged area with the shell open, and the foreign matter mixed earth 6 accumulated on the bottom A by lifting the shell while closing the shell from that state. Grabbed and lifted to the sea by the crane device 32. From this state, the jib 33 is reversed in the horizontal direction, the grab bucket 31 is moved onto the earth and sand separating container 4, and the grab bucket 31 is released on the earth and sand separating container 4. Then, the foreign substance mixed earth and sand 6 is put into the earth and sand separating container 4.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a1) to 5 (a3), the sediment separation container 4 is moved up and down in conjunction with the vertical movement of the support frame 3 by the vertical drive means, and the sediment is separated by the vibration generating means. A separation step of vibrating the container 4 is performed to separate the foreign material-containing soil 6 into a foreign material 5 such as a piece of wood and a sediment component 7 such as sand.

  In this separation step, first, as shown in FIG. 5 (a1), the elevating cylinders 13, 13... Of the vertical drive means are extended, and the upper limit position Pu, that is, the bottom surface portion of the sediment separating container 4 is obtained. The support frame 3 is raised to a position where the water is exposed on the water surface B (original position).

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a1) to (a2), the elevating cylinders 13, 13... Are contracted to lower the support frame 3 from the upper limit position to the lower limit position Pd. The earth and sand separation container 4 is lowered to a position where the lower part is submerged in water.

  At that time, the upper limit position Pu of the support frame 3 is set to a position where the bottom surface portion of the earth and sand separation container 4 is exposed on the water surface B, so that the bottom surface portion of the earth and sand separation container 4 and the water surface B are lowered when descending. The impact at that time acts on the foreign substance mixed earth and sand 6 in the container through the earth and sand transmitting part 24, and is separated into the foreign substance 5 such as a piece of wood and the earth and sand component 7 such as sand.

  Further, when the earth and sand separation container 4 descends in the water, an upward water flow is generated in the earth and sand separation container 4 as it descends, and the foreign substance mixed earth and sand 6 in the container is agitated by the water stream, The foreign substance mixed earth and sand 6 is separated into foreign substances 5 such as wood chips and earth and sand components 7 such as sand.

  The water flow generated by the lowering of the soil separation container 4 is adjusted by the water flow adjusting body 25 to increase the water force, thereby obtaining a high agitation / separation effect. Separation from component 7 is promoted.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a2) to (a3), the elevating cylinders 13, 13... Are extended, and the support frame 3 is again raised from the lower limit position Pd to the upper limit position Pu. The earth and sand separating container 4 is moved to the position where the bottom surface portion is exposed on the water surface B, that is, the original position.

  As the earth and sand separation container 4 rises, the earth and sand separation container 4 rises in the water, so that a relatively downward water flow acts in the earth and sand separation container 4 and the water flow causes foreign matter in the container. The mixed earth and sand 6 is agitated and separated into the foreign matter 5 and the earth and sand component 7 by the separation effect by the agitation.

  Furthermore, the bottom part of the earth and sand separation container 4 passes through the water surface B, and the impact at that time acts on the foreign substance mixed earth and sand 6 in the basket through the earth and sand permeable part. Separated into foreign matter 5.

  The separated sediment component 7 passes through the sediment transmission part 24 by its own weight while being transported to the descending water flow accompanying the ascent of the sediment separation container 4, and is efficiently discharged out of the container together with the water in the sediment separation container 4. And settles toward the bottom A.

  On the other hand, the foreign matter 5 such as a bark having a large outer shape does not pass through the sediment transmitting portion and remains in the sediment separating container 4.

  The operations shown in FIGS. 5A1 to 5A3 are sequentially repeated to separate the foreign-matter-containing earth and sand 6 into the foreign objects 5 and the earth-and-sand component 7, while the separated earth-and-sand component 7 is removed from the bottom of the earth-and-sand separating container 4 It is allowed to settle to the bottom of the water from the transmission part 24.

  Further, in this separation step, while repeating the vertical movement shown in FIGS. 5 (a1) to (a3), the earth and sand separation container 4 is vibrated with respect to the support frame 3 by the vibration generating means, that is, the horizontal cylinders 27, 27 are moved. The soil separation container 4 is reciprocated horizontally with respect to the support frame 3 by repeating the loading and unloading operation.

  Due to the vibration of the earth and sand separating container 4, the earth and sand component 7 in the earth and sand separating container 4 is sieved through the earth and sand transmitting portion 24, and the separation of the earth and sand component 7 and the foreign matter 5 is promoted, and the earth and sand separating container 4 If the lower part of the soil is submerged in water, in addition to the water flow generated by the vertical movement of the sediment separating container 4, a water flow caused by the vibration of the sediment separating container 4 is generated in the sediment separating container 4 and the separation effect by stirring is obtained. In addition, separation of the earth and sand component 7 and the foreign material 5 is promoted.

  In addition, the mesh material 23 constituting the sediment transmitting part 24 is washed by vibrating the sediment separating container 4 in water, so that the mesh of the sediment transmitting part 24 can be prevented from being clogged. Yes.

  Further, in the separation step, when the sediment separating container 4 is positioned on the water by injecting compressed air from the air supply means, that is, the air nozzles 26, 26, into the sediment separating container 4, the separation effect by air blow is achieved. The separation of the foreign matter 5 and the earth and sand component 7 is promoted, and when the earth and sand separation container 4 is located in the water, bubbles are generated in the water by the air jet, and the foreign matter 5 and the earth and sand component 7 are separated by the separation effect of the bubbles. Separation is promoted.

  4 (a) and the sediment removal step shown in FIGS. 5 (a1) to 5 (a3) are repeated a desired number of times, and foreign matter 5 such as wood chips is contained in the sediment separation container 4. When it accumulates to some extent, the vertical drive means and vibration generating means are stopped.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the foreign substance recovery ship 34 is moved to the water area opposite to the earth and sand separator 1 with the grab dredger 30 interposed therebetween, and the foreign substance recovery ship 34 is moved from the earth and sand separation container 4 to the foreign substance recovery ship 34. The foreign material 5 is recovered by transshipment of the foreign material 5 (foreign material recovery process).

  In this foreign matter collecting step, the foreign matter 5 such as a piece of wood remaining in the earth and sand separating container 4 in a state separated from the earth and sand component 7 is gripped by the grab bucket 31 and lifted by the crane device 32 and the jib 33 is reversed. It moves on the foreign material recovery ship 34, the grab bucket 31 is released in that position, and the foreign material 5, such as a piece of wood, is reloaded on the foreign material recovery ship 34.

  Next, when the foreign matter collecting step is completed, the foreign matter collecting ship 34 is moved, and then the earth and sand collecting ship 35 is moved to that position, and the earth and sand separating apparatus 1 is moved and removed by towing or the like, and the bottom A part is removed. The collection work of the sediment component 7 settled on the soil is performed (sediment collection step).

  In this earth and sand recovery process, the grab bucket 31 is settled on the bottom A of the water area where the earth and sand separator 1 is installed with the shell open, and the shell is lifted from the state while being closed and deposited on the bottom A. The gravel sediment component 7 is picked up and lifted by the crane device 32, the jib 33 is inverted horizontally, the grab bucket 31 is moved onto the sediment recovery vessel 35, and the grab bucket 31 is released at that position to release the sediment component. 7 is transshipped to the earth and sand recovery ship 35.

  Then, a series of steps from the dredging process to the sediment collection process are performed while moving the grab dredger 30 and dredging the desired water area. The soil and sand component 7 is separated into a recyclable state, and the separated foreign matter and soil and sand component are collected in a separated state.

  In the dredged soil separation method configured in this way, in addition to the stirring / separation effect of the water flow generated by the vertical movement and horizontal movement (horizontal vibration) of the sediment separation container 4, the foreign substance mixed sediment 6 Can be efficiently separated into a foreign substance 5 such as a piece of wood and a sediment component 7 such as sand in a desired water area.

  In addition, the separation process is performed in conjunction with the dredging process, and the foreign matter 5 such as wood chips and the earth and sand component 7 can be collected in a reusable and separated state by a high separation effect. The influence is reduced, and it becomes easy to reuse (recycle) the recovered material, that is, the earth and sand component 7 and the wood pieces 5 as resources.

  In addition, the collection process of the foreign material 5 and the sediment component 7 is performed using the grab dredger 30 used in the dredging process in the foreign substance / sediment collecting process, so that a series of processes from dredging to the collection of foreign matter / sediment can be performed Since it can be performed with the earth and sand separator 1, it is possible to greatly shorten the work period and reduce the work cost including the equipment cost.
