Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suction head for a dredging vessel.
  • the invention also relates to a dredging device comprising a dredging vessel, adapted for movement in a movement direction, a dredge pump positioned on the dredging vessel and provided with a suction connection, a suction conduit that connects the suction head with the suction connection of the dredge pump, and, provided between the dredging vessel and the suction head, support means for supporting the suction conduit, which support means are adapted to determine the depth of the suction head.
  • the invention further relates to a method for dredging ground using said suction head.
  • the known suction head comprises a box shaped construction that is connectable to a suction conduit of a dredging vessel and is shaped like a closed shaft like construction with sidewalls, an upper wall and a lower wall facing the bottom.
  • a visor with an opening at the bottom side thereof is, hingedly around a horizontal axis, attached to the box shaped construction, which visor can in this fashion be rotated up and down, for instance through a hydraulic piston.
  • the visor is further provided with a tooth bar that extends transverse to the direction of movement and is at the bottom side provided with teeth for loosening material to be dredged from the bottom.
  • a number of heel wear pads is provided, that together form the heel plate.
  • such a suction head is trailed over or in the bottom to be dredged, whereby the box shaped construction rests on the bottom with the heel plate, and whereby the teeth turn up the bottom and the loosened bottom material is sucked away through the suction conduit, for instance to a bin provided on the dredging vessel.
  • a suction head is also referred to as a trailing suction hopper suction head.
  • the visor can rotate independently of the box shaped construction.
  • the visor is controlled by the hydraulic piston such that a constant force ensues, the visor will follow the profile of the bottom, whereby the rear wall and the side walls of the visor will more or less penetrate into the bottom, depending on the hardness of the bottom.
  • Due to the sucking action of the suction conduit an underpressure will develop in the suction head, which underpressure among others depends on the extent of sealing of the suction head.
  • the developed underpressure ensures the sucking up of dredged bottom material, whereby water will inevitably also be sucked up from the outside.
  • the known suction head is only suitable for relatively soft bottoms, which is a disadvantage. Indeed, it has been established that with too hard bottoms the teeth of the known suction head do not penetrate sufficiently in the bottom as a result of which a relatively minor amount of bottom material is loosened.
  • the present invention aims to provide a suction head for a dredging vessel with which bottoms, in particular harder bottoms, can be dredged, preferably with an improved efficiency relative to the known suction head.

  • the invented suction head has proven to be able to dredge bottoms with an improved efficiency relative to the known dredging head. In particular with relatively hard bottoms, such as for instance rock bottoms, good results are obtained.
  • the suction head at its front side (upstream) of the suction opening With a wall part that moves together with the bottom profile, the suction opening at the upstream side of the cutting tools is substantially at all times closed off so as to minimize or avoid that surrounding water will be sucked in through this (unproductive) side.
  • the bottom material/water mixture that is sucked in at the height of the rear side of the suction head through the spaces in between the cutting tools comprises a relatively large amount of bottom material by the action of the cutting tools on the bottom.
  • the suction head rests at the upstream side of the cutting tools on the bottom with its movable wall part and at the height of the rear side with the cutting tools.
  • the movable wall part moves together with the bottom, for instance under its (limited) natural weight, substantially the total weight of the suction head and the suction conduit will be transmitted onto the bottom via the cutting tools.
  • the known suction head an important part of the weight is transmitted to the bottom through the heel plate and the side walls of the visor.
  • the visor is in fact obsolete and can be deleted if desired.
  • the movable wall part at the upstream side of the cutting tools and the suction opening therefore takes care of an improved efficiency of the suction head in accordance with the invention in at least two different ways.
  • a suction head whereby the cutting tools attack the bottom at the upstream side of the movable wall part.
  • the cutting tools are, in accordance with the invention, provided at the height of or at the rear wall (the downstream wall) of the suction head.
  • the suction head according to the invention is characterized in that the suction head comprises a close off body, that is hingedly connected to the box shaped construction, and in that the movable wall part comprises a wall part of the close off body.
  • the close off body can, if desired, rest onto the bottom with an under rim of said wall part during dredging, without however taking away a lot of weight from the cutting tools.
  • the natural weight of a close off body indeed is substantially lower than the total weight of the suction head and suction conduit, which can surmount 150 ton.
  • the wall part of the close off body comprises a rear wall of the close off body which rear wall is hingedly connected with the side walls of the box shaped construction by means of side walls connected thereto, such that the rear wall can be rotated up and down.
  • the side walls of the close off body in this embodiment act as close off means for surrounding water, since the at least partly can close off the opening between the side walls of the box shaped construction and the bottom.
  • the rear wall of the close off body comprises an upstanding rear wall that partly overlaps with the fixed wall part of the front wall of the box shaped construction.
  • the rear wall of the close off body By rotating the close off body relative to the box shaped construction the rear wall of the close off body will so to speak move along the fixed wall part of the front wall of the box shaped construction. Both wall parts are formed such that said gliding past each other is possible.
  • the close off body is preferably provided with an end stop to avoid such large rotation.
  • the end stop it is thus possible that the lower rim of the movable wall part becomes loose from the bottom which causes the suction head to rest on the bottom with the cutting tools only.
  • the wall part of the front wall of the box shaped construction that is movable with the bottom profile, or the closing off wall part of the close off body may extend transverse to the direction of movement of the suction head over part of the width thereof, but will preferably extend over substantially the whole width thereof. It may hereby have advantages when the wall part of the front wall of the box shaped construction that is movable with the bottom profile, or the closing off wall part of the close off body comprises transverse to the direction of movement of the suction head a number of substantially linked up and mutually independently movable sections. In this way, each section can move up and down independently from another section and thereby follow the bottom profile, which bottom profile indeed may vary in the direction transverse to the direction of movement of the suction head.
  • a preferred embodiment of the suction head according to the invention is characterized in that the cutting tools at least at their free end are rotation symmetric.
  • the cutting tools substantially carry the whole weight of the suction head and suction conduit, by which these cutting tools on average carry a higher load than is the case with the known suction head.
  • the cutting tools according to the present embodiment among others have the advantage that they can withstand higher loads than the known teeth.
  • the cutting tools can in principle be attached to the rear wall of the box shaped construction in any conceivable way. It will be apparent that the rear wall needs to have sufficient thickness to be able to accommodate the cutting tools, and to withstand the large forces generated.
  • the cutting tools may for instance be received in recesses, provided in the rear wall for this reason. It is also possible to provide the rear wall with coupling means such as for instance holders in which at least a part of the cutting tools may be accommodated.
  • the cutting tools of the suction head according to the invention are connected to the rear wall such that that they can rotate substantially free around their axis of rotation symmetry.
  • free rotation is meant in this context that the cutting tools may eventually also rotate around their axis of rotation symmetry with some friction, as long as they undergo some rotation in use.
  • the described rotation is made possible because the cutting tools are rotation symmetric. Admitting a free rotation of the cutting tools in the rear wall and/or in the holders decreases the risk for breakage of the cutting tools.
  • the cutting tools are sharpened automatically by friction with the bottom. The duration of use of the cutting tools can herewith be lengthened and time can be saved since on average less broken or blunted cutting tools need to be replaced.
  • the cutting tools are cone shaped or conical, and the cutting tools comprise a substantially cylindrical shaft part with a smaller diameter than the diameter of a conical top part.
  • the cutting tool according to this embodiment is applied with its cylindrical shaft part in coupling means that are provided on the rear wall.
  • the coupling means preferably comprise a block holder with a central bore into which the cylindrical shaft part may be received under a substantially free rotation.
  • the conical top part will extend with an active length out of the block holder, which length is relatively short in comparison to the total length of the cutting tool. This has the advantage that even larger forces may be withstood.
  • the block holder moreover supports in an effective way the cutting tool against flexural deformations.
  • the cutting tools have a length extending out of the holder ranging between 10 and 500 mm, more preferred between 20 and 250 mm, and most preferred between 50 and 150 mm.

  • the amount of cutting tools of the suction head according to the invention can be chosen within broad limits.
  • the amount of cutting tools of the suction head is larger, and more preferably significantly lager than the amount of teeth of the known suction head. A larger amount of cutting tools leads on average to a lower penetration depth of the cutting tools in the bottom.
  • the amount of cutting tools in an array comprises at least 10, more preferably at least 15 and most preferably at least 20.
  • the amount of arrays preferably ranges between 1 and 10, more preferably between 1 and 5, and most preferably the amount of arrays is 2. With this preferred embodiment, a good compromise is reached between dredging efficiency and the power needed to trail the suction head in the direction of movement over and/or in the bottom.
  • the mutual distance between the cutting tools is among others determined by the dimensions of the cutting tools themselves and by the total weight of the suction head and suction conduit parts that are under water, divided by the amount of cutting tools.
  • the pulling force produced by the dredging vessel may be of importance.
  • the properties of the bottom to be dredged are important, for instance the compression strength/tensile strength ratio of the bottom.
  • the cutting tools may in principle be positioned in the longitudinal direction of the suction head (the direction parallel to the direction of movement) in every possible manner. In order to further increase the efficiency of the dredging, it has advantages to position adjacent arrays of cutting tools offset relative to each other. A higher efficiency is hereby achieved.

  • the jet pipes can help to remove already shattered bottom material via the suction conduit, and/or further reduce in size this bottom material. Besides this, it is also possible to provide (high pressure) jet pipes that can work under substantially higher pressures of 200 to 1000 bar and more. The fluid jets produced by the jet pipes under such high pressures are adapted to help breaking the bottom. These jet pipes also can, according to the invention, in principle be positioned in front of, after, or at the height of the cutting tools. It is also possible to provide the cutting tools themselves with jet pipes, for instance as a central bore. Jet pipes positioned in front of the cutting tools can help in shattering the bottom by providing a furrow in front of the cutting tools causing the cutting tools to penetrate deeper and thereby breaking out more material.
  • Jet pipes positioned at the height of the cutting tools can help in loosening the pieces of rock and thereby letting the cutting tools penetrate further; the loose pieces indeed no longer are able to absorb the energy of the cutting tools as a "cushion”. Jet pipes positioned behind the cutting tools can help in loosening pieces that were not yet loosened and in transporting the already shattered bottom material via the suction conduit. In general, the flow of such high pressure jet pipes will be lower than the flow that is needed for the low pressure jet pipes.
