Description
Cutting device
Background of the invention 5 The invention relates to cutting device for an underwater excavation system, like a dredging system.
The invention further relates to a method for a cutting device for a dredging system.
EP 1 653 009 A1 discloses a cutting member for a dredging system having a tooth 10 and a tooth holder. The tooth is provided with a cavity and the tooth holder has a pointed end which tightly fits in said cavity, and a conduit for delivering a water jet near the cutting edge. The tooth holder has a tooth holder channel and the tooth has a tooth channel. A feed pipe couples the tooth holder channel and the tooth channel. Water is fed to the feed pipe at a certain pressure higher than the ambient water pressure.
15 In addition US 4,652,056 discloses a mineral cutting device wherein, the conveyance of pressurized water by means of a lance ensures that there is no water pressure acting on the pick tending to dislodge the latter from its holder, and hence industry standard latching arrangements can be used, while industry standard picks can also be employed, as the only modification necessary to a standard pick is the drilling of 20 a bore to a diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the lance, to ensure generally unimpeded passage of a lance along its bore particularly during insertion of a pick into its holder.
Summary of the invention 25
The invention aims to provide an improved cutting device, wherein at least one problem associated with prior art cutting devices for dredging systems is at least partly solved.
Another object of the invention is to provide an alternative cutting device.
30 Yet another object of the invention is to provide a more simple cutting device, having a lower number of parts and which cutting device is more lightweight.
According to a first aspect of the invention this is realized with a cutting device for an underwater excavation system, wherein the cutting device comprises, 2 - a cutting tooth moveably arranged with the cutting device, and provided with a cutting edge for the exertion of a cutting force on a layer to be treated, - a water jet device for providing a water jet at the cutting edge for facilitating 5 the treatment of the layer, wherein the water jet device comprises an accommodation for holding water under pressure therein, and wherein the cutting force increases the pressure in the accommodation for displacing water from the accommodation for providing the water jet.
10 Because the cutting force actuates the water jet, reduced or even no additional pump capacity at all is required for water jetting which simplifies the water jet device wherein a commonly used water jet pump can be dispensed with. A further advantage is the direct relation between the cutting force and the water jet, i.e. when the excavation is heavy and the required cutting force is high, also the power of the water jet increases.
15 This way a self-regulated water jet device is obtained.
The cutting device according to the invention is not limited to a use in an underwater excavation system like a dredging system, it may also advantageously be used for the mining industry, in particular for deep sea mining.
Treatment of the layer may involve processes like for instance dredging, 20 excavating, eroding, winning etc.
In an embodiment of the cutting device according to the invention, the cutting device comprises no pump for providing the water jet such that the water jet is only caused by the cutting force. The omission of the usual jet water pump makes the cutting 25 device more simple and saves weight.

Description of the drawings 30 6
The invention will be further elucidated referring to an preferred embodiment shown in the drawing wherein shown in:
Fig. 1 schematic side view of a cutting tooth of the cutting device according to the invention; 5 fig. 2 schematic side view of the cutting device; and in fig. 3 a schematic side view of a further embodiment of the cutting device according to the invention.
Detailed description of embodiments 10
The invention is now described in detail referring to all figures 1-3. Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of the cutting device 1 for a tool for excavating soil and/or rock.
The cutting device 1 comprises a cutting tooth 2 provided with a cutting edge 4 for the exertion of a cutting force, for example, on a layer of sand or rock.. The cutting device 1 15 comprises a water jet device 3 providing a water jet 5 at the cutting edge 4 for facilitating the excavation of sand from the sand layer. The water jet device 3 comprises an accommodation 6 for holding water under pressure which water is depicted as dark coloured region. The water jet device 3 comprises a discharge outlet 15 shown in fig. 3 for providing the water jet 5 and a water inlet 15, 13 of fig. 2 and 3. The water inlet 15, 20 13 is coupled with the accommodation 6 for supplying water to the accommodation 6.
Here an inlet 13 may be provided with the tooth holder 7 which inlet 13 is shown in broken lines. The inlet 13 may be coupled with a valve (not shown) for maintaining water under pressure in the accommodation 6. As shown here, the outlet 15 also may act as an inlet for supplying water to the accommodation 6. Therefore, the inlet and the 25 outlet 15 are coupled with the accommodation 6 via a common conduit 11 for providing the water jet 5 and for supplying water to the accommodation 6.
When the cutting device 1 is in use, the cutting force F increases pressure of the water in the accommodation 6 such that water is displaced from the accommodation 6 to 30 provide the water jet 5. Here, the cutting device 1 comprises no pump for providing the water jet 5 which is beneficial in view of complexity and cost of ownership of the cutting device 1, specifically of the water jet device 3 thereof. Here, the cutting device 1 7 comprises a tooth holder 7 for replaceably holding the cutting tooth 2 in connection with maintainability and up time of the cutting device 1.
In fig. 2 it is shown that the cutting tooth 2 is moveably coupled with the cutting tooth holder 7 for advancing the cutting tooth 2 in the accommodation 6 while exerting 5 a cutting force F, for displacing water from the accommodation 6 for providing the water jet 5. Here, the cutting tooth 2 moves like a plunger within the cutting tooth holder 7. Here, the cutting device 1 is provided with a sealing ring 10 which contributes to a sealing coupling of the tooth holder 7 and the cutting tooth 2.
In this case, the accommodation 6 is part of the cutting tooth 2, see fig 1. The 10 accommodation 6 may be part of the tooth holder 7. The accommodation 6 is coupled with the cutting tooth 2 in a sealing manner. It is conceivable that the accommodation 6 is formed onto the cutting tooth 2. Here, the accommodation 6 is formed of resilient rubber 8 for filling the accommodation 6 when the cutting tooth 2 does not exert the cutting force on a layer of sand (not shown). This is beneficial and feasible because a 15 cutting tooth 2 does not engage with a layer of sand for a large part of an operating cycle. The resilient rubber 8 drives the cutting tooth 2 and the accommodation 6 increases its volume to take in water into the accommodation 6.
The accommodation filling system for filling the accommodation 6 with water while the cutting tooth 2 does not exert the cutting force F on a layer to be treated, is 20 here formed by the tensioning system 9 and the accommodation 6 being made of a resilient rubber which contributes to the tensioning system, as well as formed by the conduit 12, 12a provided with the tooth holder 7 or the conduit 11 provided with the cutting tooth 2. The conduit 12 extends transversely with respect to the central axis 16 of the cutting device. The conduit 12 has an inlet 13 for supplying water to the 25 accommodation 6. Alternatively, the conduit 12a extends substantially in parallel with respect to the central axis 16 of the cutting device. The conduit 12a has an inlet 13a for supplying water to the accommodation 6. The inlet 13a of conduit 12a is provided with the tooth holder 7 and opposite and remote from the cutting edge 4. The conduit 12a is more easy to manufacture. In addition the position of the inlet 13a opposite and remote 30 from the cutting edge 4 is beneficial in view of undesired intake of excavated matter which may congest the accommodation filling system or reduce the operational life of the entire cutting device 1.
8
The accommodation 6 is here arranged between the cutting tooth 2 and the tooth holder 7. This facilitates the alignment of the accommodation 6 with the cutting force F which enables to obtain a compact cutting device. The cutting device 1, specifically the 5 accommodation filling system thereof, comprises a schematically depicted spring element 17 for filling the accommodation 6 when the cutting tooth 2 does not engage with a layer of sand. Here, the spring element 17 is arranged between the accommodation 6 and the cutting tooth 2.
When the cutting device 1 is in use, the cutting force increases the pressure of the 10 water in the accommodation 6 such that water is displaced from the accommodation 6 to provide the water jet 5 for facilitating the excavation of the layer of sand.
In fig. 3 an embodiment is shown, wherein the accommodation 6 is coupled with, preferably formed with, more preferably integrally formed with, a conduit 14 which 15 conduit extends in the cutting tooth 2 for debouching water at the outlet 15. The cutting tooth 2 is partly shown. The accommodation 6 being coupled with a conduit 14 which extends in the cutting tooth 2 simplifies the cutting device 1 in terms of coupling between the cutting tooth 2 and the tooth holder 7. Moreover, the coupling of the outlet 15 and the accommodation 6 is more simple and robust..
20
It will also be obvious after the above description and drawings are included to illustrate some embodiments of the invention, and not to limit the scope of protection. Starting from this disclosure, many more embodiments will be evident to a skilled person which are within the scope of protection and the essence of this invention and 25 which are obvious combinations of prior art techniques and the disclosure of this patent.
