파일럿 집광로봇 채집장치의 배치설계

Abstract

This paper concerns about lay-out design of a pick-up device, witch is connected to pilot mining robot in front. The pilot mining robot(PMR) is designed by deep-sea mining team of KORDI. PMR consist of hybrid pick-up device, track sub-system, nodule crusher, chassis structure, electric-electronic system, hydraulic system and monitoring system. The mining capacity of a PMR is 750,000ton(dry)/year, which is 1 over 4 of commercial mining capacity. The function of hybrid pick-up device is collecting manganese nodule on seafloor by using water-jet nozzle. Therefore the distance between water nozzle and ground is important design variable. The hybrid pick-up device is connected to loading frame of PMR by using two link system in lozengeshaped form and hydraulic actuator. In order to improve efficiency of mining, lay-out design of hybrid pick-up device is important above everything else. In this paper, lay-out design of hybrid pick-up device is suggested using results of numerical analysis for hybrid pick-up device.
