ROBOT FOR MINING MANGANESE NODULES ON DEEP SEAFLOOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/147379
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a robot for mining manganese nodules on a deep seafloor, comprising: a plurality of driving devices detachably disposed in parallel to each other; a collection device, which is provided in front of the plurality of driving devices, for collecting the manganese nodules; a transmission device, which is provided at the rear of the plurality of collection devices, for transmitting the grinded manganese nodules to the outside by grinding the collected manganese nodules into a fixed size; a power control measurement unit, which is provided at upper parts of the plurality of driving devices, for providing power to the plurality of driving devices and controlling operations of the collection device and the transmission device; a structural frame for connecting each driving device and supporting the collection devices, the transmission device, and the power control measurement unit; and a buoyancy unit provided at the upper end of the structural frame.
