Title:
DEEP-SEA MINING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/068362
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a deep-sea mining system (100), comprising a transport ship (110) shuttling on the surface of the sea, an undersea self-propelled floating body (120), a seabed mobile delivery station (130) and a seabed mineral collection machine (140). The transport ship (110) shuttling on the surface of the sea is connected to one end, far away from sea level, of the undersea self-propelled floating body (120) via a first flexible hose (n1). The end, far away from sea level, of the undersea self-propelled floating body (120) is connected to the seabed mobile delivery station (130) via a second flexible hose (n2). The seabed mobile delivery station (130) is connected to the seabed mineral collection machine (140) via a third flexible hose (n3). Minerals collected by the seabed mineral collection machine (140) are stored in the seabed mobile delivery station (130) by means of the third flexible hose (n3). The seabed mobile delivery station (130) delivers the minerals to the undersea self-propelled floating body (120) by means of the second flexible hose (n2). The undersea self-propelled floating body (120) transports, by means of the first flexible hose (n1), the minerals to the transport ship (110) shuttling on the surface of the sea. The deep-sea mining system has a simple structure and can be used and promoted on a large scale.
