参见图1和图2,本发明提供一种基于清洁能源平台的交替步进深海采矿系统,与传统的深海采矿平台相比,本发明提出的锚泊系统与电力推进装置,通过两者的配合可以使平台交替步进式前进且具有较好的抵御风浪能力,同时节省能源。其可以包括:主船体、采矿系统、锚泊系统和电力推进装置,主船体的中部设置有车间5,采矿系统包括若干采矿车6,若干采矿车6放置在车间1,锚泊系统包括绞车1、锚缆舱2、锚缆3和锚头4,主船体的顶部的四个角均设置有绞车1,每个绞车1的下方设置锚缆舱2,锚缆2的一端与绞车1连接,另一端与锚头4连接,电力推进装置7设置在主船体的底部的前后端;当进行采矿作业时,若干锚头4沉入在海底形成四边形区域,采矿车6在此区域进行采矿作业;当需要转移采矿区时,通过控制若干绞车1收放相应的锚头4,同时配合电力推进装置7驱动主船体前进或后退,以此实现主船体交替步进式转移采矿区。在本实施例中,本平台作业时主要是在深海5000米上方,并通过锚泊系统将主船体固定在海面上,然后释放采矿车进行采矿作业,因此,主船体的顶部四个角都安装有绞车1,绞车1的下方设置有锚缆舱2,当平台进行采矿作业时, 四个角的绞车1按一定顺序启动或关闭来释放或回收锚头4,同时与主船体的底部前后端的电力推进装置7配合,最终,平台释放的锚缆3从侧视角度看,呈“八”字型,而锚头4从俯视角度看,则在深海5000米的海底形成一个四边形的采矿区域,之后释放采矿车6采矿即可,这样平台便在深海处牢牢固定,就算遇到一些较大的风浪,本平台也能抵御风浪继续采矿作业,与现有的深海采矿平台通过消耗大量能源来维持稳定相比,本平台具有节能节耗的优点,另外,采矿车6是在锚头4所形成的区域内进行采矿作业,既便于采矿,提高采矿率,又便于回收,而在平台需要航行时,可以将锚头4收回到锚缆舱2中,防止锚头4在水中产生阻力,影响平台的航行,另外,本平台通过主船体的底部的电力推进装置7便可航行,不像一些传统的平台只能通过运输船来实现航行,这样在遇到海啸、台风等恶劣天气时便可迅速转移,相当安全和便捷,当平台在一个采矿区完成采矿作业,需要转移到下一个采矿区时,通过电力推进装置7使主船体后退并将“八”字型中“ノ”一端的锚头4回收,然后以“ㄟ”一端为中心,通过电力推进装置7使主船体前进一端距离再释放锚头4,从而使主船体与海底之间的锚缆3再次形成“八”字型,以此实现平台在海底矿区间交替步进式的转移。
在某实施例中,锚缆3为轻质锚缆,锚头4为重力锚头。其中,锚缆3采用轻质锚缆主要是为了减少阻力,方便锚头4的释放和回收,优选的,轻质锚缆可以选用合成纤维缆,例如聚酯锚缆、高强聚乙烯锚缆等,它们都具有较轻的特点,而锚头4采用重力锚头主要是为了更快速沉入海底和稳固平台,优选的,重力锚头可以选用铸钢或锻钢材质制造,例如Q235普通碳素结构钢,其具有强度高、耐腐蚀的特点,其锚头形状可以是爪型,也可以是菌型,使得锚头4可以深深啮入海底的泥土中。
再次参见图1,在某实施例中,采矿系统还包括月池8和工作塔9,月池8包括升降平台 10和升降轨道11,月池8的两侧设置有升降轨道11,升降轨道11沿车间往主船体的底部方向垂直设置,升降平台10与升降轨道11连接,工作塔9的内部设置有收放装置(图中未示),收放装置通过绳索与采矿车6连接,月池8贯穿主船体的底部设置在车间5的下方且与车间5相通,工作塔9设置在车间5的上方。其中,主船体的中部开设有月池8,月池8贯穿主船体的底部与车间5相通且在车间5的下方,在天气或者海面恶劣的情况下,采矿车6可以在月池8处直接释放和回收,而不需在主船体的船舷处释放和回收,从而避免与主船体发生碰撞的意外,另外,月池处还安装有升降平台10和升降轨道11,升降轨道11沿车间往主船体的底部方向安装,方便将采矿车6在此之间进行转移,同时,车间5的上方设置有工作塔9,可以将采矿车6吊运到主船体的各个位置,并且,工作塔9内的收放装置可以快速将采矿车6从主船体释放到海底采矿区,同时,在采矿车6进行采矿时,一直与采矿车6连接,遇到突发危险时可以快速回收,进一步提高了采矿的效率和安全性。
再次参见图2,上述实施例中,进一步地,收放装置还包括中间站12,收放装置与中间站12的一端连接,中间站12的另一端与若干采矿车6连接。其中,根据作业的需求,还可以在收放装置中安装一个中间站12接驳,中间站12的上方也收放装置连接,中间站12的下方连接多台采矿车6,使得多台采矿车6可以同时进行采矿作业,这样大大提高采矿作业的进度。
再次参见图1,在某实施例中,主船体还设置有储矿间13,储矿间设置在车间5的左右两边。其中,在车间5的两边设置储矿间13,当采矿车6采满矿后,回到车间5便可快速的将所采的矿石转移到储矿间13,以便接下来的采矿作业,又进一步提高了采矿效率,同时,该平台的储矿间13有较大的空间,可以将矿石先集中一段时间。另外,平台还可以包括传输 系统,传输系统包括输送通道(图中未示),输出通道分别连接主船体的前后端且经过储矿间13,输送通道内设置有输送带,当运输船来转运矿石时,可以借此传输系统,将储存间13的矿石通过输送带在输送通道快速转移到主船体的前端或后端,然后运输船与主船体的前端或后端接驳转移矿石,这样可以减少工作人员的劳动强度,也提高了矿石的转移效率。
在某实施例中,还包括可再生能源发电系统,可再生能源发电系统为主船体提供电力,可再生能源发电系统包括太阳能发电系统、波浪能发电系统和风能发电系统,太阳能发电系统设置在主船体的顶部,波浪能发电系统设置在主船体的前后端,风能发电系统设置在主船体的顶部。本平台配备的可再生能源发电系统,能够利用太阳能、波浪能和风能进行互补供电,既解决了在深海能源供应问题,又满足清洁环保的要求,不会对海洋生态有所污染。
再次参见图1,上述实施例中,进一步地,太阳能发电系统包括太阳能光伏板15,主船体的顶部设置有若干舱室14,若干舱室14的上方设置有太阳能光伏板15。其中,主船体的顶部设置有各种的舱室14,例如实验室、办公室、餐厅、休息室等,让工作人员可以长期在平台进行日常工作和生活,从而可以减少运输成本,节省物资,并且,在各个舱室14的上方铺设一层太阳能光伏板15,不但可以起到遮阳的效果,还可以利用起来发电,从而给平台的各种设备供电,减少平台的能耗。
上述实施例中,进一步地,浪能发电系统包括波浪发电板17、桁架式支撑臂18、铰链19和液压缸(图中未示),所主船体的前后端还设置有设备间16,波浪发电板17与桁架式支撑臂18焊接且通过铰链19安装在设备间16,液压缸设置在设备间16,液压缸的输出轴与波浪发电板17的一端连接。其中,在波浪的作用下,波浪发电板17可以绕铰链19进行往复运动,从而带动液压缸的输出轴进行往复运动,进而将波浪能转换为液压能,再通过能量转 化系统将液压能转化为电能供电,这样既能消除海浪对主船体的冲击影响,保证了平台进行采矿时有较好的稳定性,又能利用起来进行发电,优选的,这里采用现有技术(专利号为2016103652769)的鹰式的波浪发电板,当不需要使用波浪发电板17时,可以将其收入到设备间16,避免意外导致其损坏。
上述实施例中,进一步地,风能发电系统包括若干风力发电机20,若干风力发电机20安装在主船体的顶部。其中,在海风的作用下,若干风力发电机20的扇叶转动,并将转动的动能转换为电能供电,这样,充分利用了海上风力自然资源,进一步减少平台的能耗。
为了更好地理解本发明,下面对本发明实施例的养殖平台按功能进行阐述。
第一部分为主船体,它包括了车间5、储矿间13、设备间16和若干舱室14,车间5可以放置采矿系统中的采矿车6,在车间5的两边设置储矿间13方便采矿车6将采集满矿石后快速转移,为了提高转移效率,还可以增加传输系统,其包括传输通道,传输通道其中的两个通道口设置在主船体的前后端且传输通道经过储矿间,这样,当需要将矿石转移到运输船时,可以快速将矿石转移到与运输船接驳的主船体的前后端,而设备间16安装有动力转换设备,例如液压缸,若干舱室14则为平台的工作人员提供了工作和休息的空间,使工作人员可以长期在平台上生活,从而减少运输工作人员的成本;主船体还包括了电力推进装置7,使得平台具有航行的功能,当遇到台风、海啸等恶劣情况,可以迅速转移。
第二部分为采矿系统,它包括采矿车6、月池8、工作塔9和中间站12,采矿车6可以下潜至海底5000米处进行矿石采集作业,月池8设置在放置采矿车6的车间5下方,它可以将采矿车6直接从主船体的中部释放,而不需从船舷处释放,十分便捷,另外,月池8还安装有升降平台10和升降轨道11,可以提高采矿车6释放到海里的效率,工作塔9则安装在 车间5的上方,它的内部安装有收放装置,收放装置通过缆线一直与采矿车6相连,这样不仅采矿车6在释放或回收时,都可以快速进行,还可以在采矿车6作业时,防止采矿车6意外驶出矿区,并且,还可以根据采矿的需求,在收放装置中增加一个中间站12,中间站12可以连接多台采矿车6,从而使得多台采矿车6可以同时作业,提高采矿效率。
第三部分为锚泊系统,它包括绞车1、锚缆舱2、锚缆3和锚头4,绞车1安装在主船体顶部的四个角处,这样既能使锚头4释放后更好的固定平台,又能使绞车1永远处于工作人员可接近的海面之上,便于操控,锚缆舱2可以在平台转移时将锚头4收纳和固定,防止锚头4在海里产生阻力影响航行,由于本平台主要是在深海5000米上进行采矿作业,所以锚缆3采用的是轻质锚缆,它可以减少在海里的阻力,而锚头4则采用的是重力锚头,它可以更快速沉入海底,并且根据海底的泥土情况,锚头4的形状可以是爪型或菌型,以此来将平台稳稳固定在海面上;在海底整个大矿石区,本锚泊系统还可以和电力推进装置7配合,使得平台可以步进式前进,从而将大矿石区分隔成多个小矿石区进行采矿,因此,本锚头系统不仅起到固定平台的作用,还起到使平台“走”起来的作用。
第四部分为可再生能源发电系统,它包括了太阳能发电系统、波浪能发电系统和风能发电系统。太阳能发电系统是通过安装在若干舱室14的上方的太阳能光伏板15进行遮阳发电,波浪能发电系统是通过在设备间16里安装液压缸以及与液压缸的输出轴连接的波浪发电板17进行消波发电,风能发电系统是通过安装在主船体的顶部的若干风力发电机20进行风力发电,本发明的可再生能源发电系统中,还可以设计蓄电设备,太阳能、波浪能和风能提供的电力除了正常输出使用外,多余的电力可以储存在蓄电设备里,供太阳、波浪和风力较弱时使用。本发明的采矿平台充分利用自身所处的环境资源,即保障了电力供应又无环境污染 问题。
本发明还提供一种基于清洁能源平台的交替步进深海采矿系统的采矿方法,该方法采用上述的一种基于清洁能源平台的交替步进深海采矿系统进行,具体步骤包括:
S1,将平台运输至采矿海域;
S2,将主船体的顶部后端的两个绞车启动,绞车对锚缆进行放缆,使得锚缆舱内的锚头下放沉入海底,与此同时,主船体的后端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体前进直至下放的锚头抵达海底;
S3,将主船体的顶部后端的两个绞车关闭,停止绞车对锚缆放缆,同时关闭主船体的后端的电力推进装置;
S4,将主船体的顶部前端的两个绞车启动,绞车对锚缆进行放缆,使得锚缆舱内的锚头下放沉入海底,与此同时,主船体的前端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体后退直至下放的锚头抵达海底;
S5,将主船体的位置调整至四个锚头所形成的平面区域的中心后,关闭主船体的顶部前端的两个绞车,停止绞车对锚缆放缆,同时关闭主船体的前端的电力推进装置;
S6,将采矿车从车间释放到海底,并在四个锚头所形成的平面区域内进行采矿作业直至作业完成,采矿车从海底回收到车间;
S7,将主船体的顶部前端的两个绞车启动,绞车对锚缆进行放缆,与此同时,主船体的前端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体后退直至处于主船体的后端的锚头的上方;
S8,将主船体的前端的电力推进装置关闭,启动主船体的顶部后端的两个绞车,绞车对锚链进行收缆,使得锚头从海底上升收回锚缆舱,主船体以前端为中心进行转头,此时主船 体的前后端互换;
S9,将转头后的主船体的后端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体前进经过转头后的主船体的后端的锚头上方海域,并再前进一段距离后,关闭转头后的主船体的后端的电力推进装置;
S10,重复步骤S4至S9,直至海底采矿作业全部完成。
为了更好地理解本发明,下面通过具体实施例对本发明的方法进行阐述。
本发明的基于清洁能源平台的交替步进深海采矿系统的采矿方法,首先将该平台投放到海面上,然后可以通过运输船将平台运输到采矿海域,也可以通过平台的电力推进装置自己航行到采矿海域,此时,平台的太阳能发电系统、波浪能发电系统和风能发电系统也开始工作,通过遮阳、消浪和风力进行发电,给平台的电力推进装置以及其他设备提供电力;需要进行采矿作业时,先放下主船体后端的两个锚头,同时主船体往前航行,当先放的两个锚头抵达海底时,再放下主船体前端的两个锚头,主船体往回航行,当后放的两个锚头也抵达海底时,调整主船体的位置,使得主船体固定在四个锚头所形成区域的中间,最后释放采矿车下潜到海底,并在四个锚头所形成的区域内进行采矿作业直至该区域的矿石全部采集完成;需要进行矿区转移时,先将采矿车全部回收,然后将主船体往回航行至后端的两个锚头的上方,回收后端的两个锚头,接着以前端的两个锚头为中心,主船体调头往前航行一端距离,再将后端的两个锚头释放,主船体再往回航行至四个锚头所形成区域的中间,从而完成矿区转移;最后,通过采矿作业和矿区转移循环进行,将深海的矿石全部采集完成。由于该采矿方法可以避免在采矿过程中产生遗漏,大大提高了采矿率,因此,本采矿平台提供了一种极具创新性的采矿思路。
本发明的基于清洁能源平台的交替步进深海采矿系统为一种全新的深海采矿平台,且利用该清洁能源平台的采矿方法可以较好的将海底的矿石全部采集,避免遗漏,提高采矿率。本发明的成功开发和应用为海洋采矿业提供先进的采矿设备,将产生巨大的经济效益,并强力推动海上采矿业的发展,意义深远。

    S7,将主船体的顶部前端的两个绞车启动,绞车对锚缆进行放缆,与此同时,主船体的前端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体后退直至处于主船体的后端的锚头的上方;
    S8,将主船体的前端的电力推进装置关闭,启动主船体的顶部后端的两个绞车,绞车对锚链 进行收缆,使得锚头从海底上升收回锚缆舱,主船体以前端为中心进行转头,此时主船体的前后端互换;
    S9,将转头后的主船体的后端的电力推进装置启动,使得主船体前进经过转头后的主船体的后端的锚头上方海域,并再前进一段距离后,关闭转头后的主船体的后端的电力推进装置;
    S10,重复步骤S4至S9,直至海底采矿作业全部完成。
