Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for collection of gravel from a submerged bed.
  • the inventor is aware that divers are utilised to collect gravel from the seabed and riverbed for mining purposes by manually operating a suction hose underwater. Often such collection is hampered due to adverse weather, sea conditions and low visibility. Further disadvantages of utilising divers are safety and operational considerations. Divers are limited to certain depths and dive times and often suffer from decompression illness.
  • Such devices use an airlift system and are normally suspended from a crane or like apparatus.
  • Existing dredging devices often clog up with debris.
  • the inventor is also aware that these devices can tunnel into the substrate and when the substrate collapses the device may be stuck in the substrate to such an extent that it cannot be retrieved.
  • the applicant is further aware of a problem of airlift or dredging systems to loosen and lift compact alluvial gravel or sediment and the lack of adaptability of existing dredging devices for being used for dredging or mining different substrates.
  • a device for the collection of sediment or gravel from a submerged bed which includes: a head which is connectable to an inflow of a suction pump and an outflow of a fluid pump, and the head including a tubular member defining a gravel intake opening which is in fluid communication with the inflow and a plurality of jets, in fluid communication with the outflow, spaced about the opening and directed towards the submerged bed at an angle to the horizontal to cause rotational shearing forces on the submerged bed, in use.
  • the jets may be arranged in at least one set on the gravel intake opening pointing in a direction at an angle between a normal and a tangent of a circle defined by the intake opening or about the inner perimeter of the intake opening.
  • the angled downward pointing jets are generally angled in a direction along the circumference of a circle defined by the intake opening to cause a rotational water flow to loosen compact alluvial sediment, gravel or stones.
  • the head may include a second set of downward jets which may point opposite to the first set at an angle between a normal and tangent of a circle defined by the intake opening.
  • One set may cause rotation on the inner side of the intake opening in one direction and the other set may cause rotation on the outside in another direction.
  • the downward angle of the first two sets may preferably be about 45 ° and the rotational angle at about 45 ° to the tangent.
  • the head may include a third set of straight downward pointing jets located radially between the first and second set. It will be appreciated that the jets, preferably in two or three sets will cause strong shearing forces with fluid flow to loosen compact alluvial sediment, gravel or stones.
  • the head may include a fluid reservoir or hub in fluid connection with a fluid pump and the jets via conduits machined into the head. It will be appreciated that the machined conduits are integrally formed with the head which eliminates the need for piping, which is prone to leakage and damage.
  • the device may include a first connection means for connecting to the inflow of a suction pump and a second connection means for connecting to the outflow of a fluid pump.
  • the fluid pump may be a water pump and may be a high pressure water pump.
  • the head may be generally bell shaped and the perimeter of the open end may define, in use, the area on the bed to be subjected to suction and shearing forces.
  • the bell shape may be square, oblong or preferably round to assist in rotational shearing forces and to be more resistant to impact forces while in use.
  • the device may include a resiliently deformable shroud or skin covering, the lower part of the head to further increase the head's resistance against impact during use.
  • a typical resiliently deformable material may be synthetic material such as synthetic rubber such as poly urethane or natural rubber. It will be appreciated that impact resistance is important for offshore use, where wave motion causes movement of the head during use.
  • the shroud may be shaped and configured to extend and enlarge the bell shape of the head to form, in use, a defined zone on the seafloor subjected to suction and shearing forces.
  • Water intake holes are defined in the shroud to replace the water being removed within the shroud during use. It will be appreciated that such a defined zone will, at least to some extent compensate for an uneven seafloor or protruding rocks.
  • the head may further include a grating arranged on the head and over the opening such that objects larger than the mesh of the grating are prevented, in use, from entering into the opening.
  • the grating may be a series of linked chains arranged and welded in a grid pattern.
  • the linked chains may be welded to a ring, which ring is bolted to the head. It will be appreciated that the chains are easily replaceable and the movement of the chains during operation assist in lessening blockages.
  • the grating may be recessed into the head and the first three sets of jets may be located below on the outer side the grid.
  • a fourth set of jets may be located on the inside of the grid and directed toward the grid for clearing the grid of debris, when needed.
  • the fourth set of jets may preferably be independently operable from the first, second and third sets of jets.
  • One or more of the sets of jets may independently operable from each other.
  • the head may include more than one reservoir, up to one each for the first, second, third set of jets and another reservoir for the fourth set of jets, in any combination.
  • the reservoirs may be configured to be independently pressurised with water.
  • the head may include more than one reservoir, up to one for the first, one for the second, one for third set of jets and another reservoir for the fourth set of jets, in any combination with the sets of jets.
  • the reservoirs may be configured to be independently pressurised with water.
  • the head may include two high pressure reservoirs, one for the first, second and third set of jets and another reservoir for the fourth set of jets.
  • the reservoirs may be configured to be independently pressurised with water.
  • Some or each set, of the jets may include replaceable and interchangeable nozzles and plugs.
  • the flow characteristics of the head can be customised for a specific type or seabed characteristic by plugging some of the jets of a set or by plugging a whole set of jets by replacing a nozzle with a plug.
  • the characteristics of mud, sand, loose gravel and compact material will differ widely and that the method of creating a shearing force and the strength of the shearing force can be adapted for such changes and characteristics.
  • the jets can be selectively closed to cause an unbalanced flow through the open jets, causing the head to wobble or sway during use which for certain applications may be useful.
  • the device may further include a suction pump located on the deck of a vessel or submerged, or preferably in the form of an airlift.
  • the device may further include bypass valve to allow bypass fluid to flow through a bypass opening in response to the suction pump in the event that the opening of the head is blocked by stones or debris.
  • the valve may include a hydraulic, electrical or preferably a pneumatic actuator and may operable from the surface.
  • the grid can easily be cleared of debris when the bypass valve is opened and water exits the inward pointing jets.
  • the device may include an airlift suction pump and the bypass valve opening may be located between the opening of the head and the airlift suction pump air inlets.
  • a bypass valve intake of the bypass valve may preferably be located above the airlift suction pump air inlets.
  • the intake and the bypass valve opening may be connected by a pipe or conduit and the intake may be directed towards the first connection means for connecting to the inflow of a suction pump or an umbilical for the device. It will be appreciated that, when the bypass valve is opened, debris or sediment in the vicinity of the first connection or an umbilical will be sucked away through the intake. This feature of the invention will help to free the device in the event of a cave-in which trapped the device by sucking or blowing away debris from the upper part of the device.
  • the conduit which connects the bypass valve opening and the bypass valve intake may be in the form of a hollow protective cover for covering and protecting the valve actuating mechanism.
  • the cover may be provided with an inspection hole to clear possible debris from the cover or conduit.
  • the head may be provided with at least one clean water intake above the inlet of the head. These inlets may closable.
  • the airlift suction pump air and/ or water inlets may each be sealable with a cap, when not in use, and openable by removing the caps to use the airlift inlets to act as additional clean water inlets to increase water flow to a suction pump. It will be appreciated that the additional water inlets will aid in entraining sand and gravel removed from the ocean bottom.
  • the airlift may include a reservoir for receiving pressurised air and from which air is blown through four upwards slanting nozzles.
  • the upward slanting nozzles may be piping in communication with the reservoir and the inlet of the head.
  • the piping may be closable clean water intakes, when the airlift pump is not in use.
  • the reservoir may further include at least two further inlets either of which can be connected to a high pressure air supply, closed or left open to provide additional clean water inlets. It will be appreciated that the option to either connect varying size inlets to a high pressure air or water supply or to close varying size inlets, when the airlift pump is not in use, greatly improves the versatility of the head.
  • high pressure water supply can also be connected to the air-lift reservoir inlets, to cause an upward jetting force, when using a submerged or on-deck pump system. This will aid the suction and provide additional clean water.
