A cylindrical casing 21 that is fixed and does not rotate, and a screw shaft 22 that is housed inside the cylindrical casing 21 and has a forward screw blade 23 and a reverse screw blade 24 pivoted thereon. 22 is a vertical screw conveyor 6
The upper and lower sides are supported by bearings 25 and 26, respectively.

Further, the screw blade 23 is a normal feed screw blade 23 for lifting sludge from the mud storage tank 5.

In order to discharge the lifted sludge to a discharge port 6a provided laterally in the upper part of the cylindrical casing 21, a reverse feed screw blade 24 is attached to a part of the end of the screw shaft 22. The cylindrical casing 21 is provided with an opening 27 at its tip for taking in sludge. A plurality of them are provided at regular intervals in the direction.

An inlet device 7 for scraping in sludge is provided at the tip of the vertical screw conveyor 6. This inlet device 7 is composed of a tapered canopy member 7c fixed to the lower end of the one-turn cylinder 75, an inlet 7a for collecting sludge hanging from the canopy member 7C, a bar screen 7d, and a blade 7e.

Next, the dredged material discharge device 100 configured as above
The operation of this will be explained.

First, the sludge and other soft mud collected from the ocean floor and riverbed is sent to the hopper! supplied to At this time, a large lump of foreign matter (
(wood chips, rocks, iron pieces, etc.) are removed artificially, and the soft mud that has passed through the primary screen 2 enters the inside of the hopper 1. The solidified sludge in the hopper 1 is crushed and loosened by a crusher 3 in order to facilitate subsequent transportation, and is sent from below the hopper 1 to a vibrating sieve 4. The soft mud is further screened for small foreign matter such as pebbles by a vibrating sieve 4, and the soft mud from which these have been removed is dropped into a mud storage tank 5 and stored.

Next, the drive device of the swing device 60 is activated to control the inlet device 7 located at the tip of the vertical screw conveyor 6.
is inserted into the sludge in the mud storage tank 5, and the conveyor drive hydraulic motor 29 disposed on the top of the vertical screw conveyor 6 is rotated, and at the same time, the rotary cylinder drive motor 71 and the pressurized feeder 8 motor 8a are rotated. . At this time, the gate valve 8b provided on the discharge side of the pressurized feeder 8 is closed, and a predetermined amount of compressed air is introduced into the nozzle 10.

The rotation of the rotary cylinder driving motor 71 also rotates the inlet device 7 via the rotary cylinder 75, and the rotation of the inlet device 7 stirs and fluidizes the sludge around the intake part, while the inlet 7a and the blade are rotated. 7b takes sludge into the cylindrical casing 21 through the opening 27. At this time, foreign matter mixed in the sludge is prevented from entering through the opening 27 by the bar screen 7d, and is drawn outward along the surface of the rake 7f. is discharged to. On the other hand, the sludge introduced into the cylindrical casing 21 from the opening 27 rises inside the cylindrical casing 21 due to the rotation of the screw shaft 22.
It is discharged from the discharge port 6a through the conduit 9 to the pressurized feeder 8 side.

After gradually opening the gate valve 8b, the sludge discharged from the pressurized feeder 8 is mixed with compressed air introduced from the nozzle 1O in the discharge pipe 9, and the sludge is sent to the destination, for example, the sludge collection ring. is pumped up to.

The dredged material discharging device used in the present invention can be compactly arranged not only at a landing site but also on a barge, and the device can be transported by truck by having a divided structure. If the distance from the dredged material discharge device to the mud collection ring is long, this can be achieved by arranging relay pumps at key points and connecting the relay pumps with discharge pipes.

[Effect of the invention] Under the above-mentioned circumstances, while the single dredged material discharging device is being used to continuously discharge sludge to the sludge collecting ring, the dredging device may break down or need repair. If necessary, the dredging device can be easily swung 90 degrees from the vertical position to the horizontal position by simply activating the swing cylinder, making it possible to significantly reduce repair or repair costs.

In addition, since primary and secondary screens are provided, troubles such as foreign matter contamination are drastically reduced, and long-term continuous stable operation can be realized.
