英文摘要 | This paper proposed a compact design of the subsea cobalt-rich crust mining vehicle with a general purpose support vessel for subsea resource exploration, sample collection, and research. The necessary functions were considered in the concept design, including walk, crushing/mining, sample collection, cutter head adaptation, vehicle orientation, crust texture measurement, awareness, positioning, and navigation. The prototype was tested in both tank and subsea environment. The sea trials were carried out with the support of a general purpose support vessel. The track design worked well in both the tank and subsea environment and the mining vehicle walked smoothly in the sea trial. The crust was crushed to the size of 2 mm and 10 mm with different cutting parameters and successfully collected by the jet pump, 6 kg in total. The crust texture was measured by the onboard sonar successfully and can be used for cutting parameter selection. The cameras captured the images of the subsea environment, but the actions of crushing and sample collection produced plumes, which blocked the camera vision. In the situation, the front image sonar can be used to keep the vehicle away from big rocks. The mining vehicle is not limited to the mining and sampling of subsea cobalt-rich crust. Most of the subsea solid resources on the seabed can be considered to use the compact mining vehicle for sampling and related research. The only issues to be considered are the crushing ability and sample size required. |
