Abstract
An equipment and application method for sinkage detection and active escape of deep-sea mining vehicle, comprising: the sinkage detection and warning devices and the self-escape equipment. The sinkage detection and warning devices are installed on the left and right sides of each track of the deep-sea mining vehicle, and it monitors the contact conditions between the tracks and the sediment, and the distance from the bottom of the track to the device is measured. The self-escape equipment comprises the active interactive grouting system, which connects to intelligent steering and retractable grouting heads. The intelligent steering and retractable grouting heads are also located on the left and right sides of each track. This invention can detect the complex driving environment of the seafloor automatically and combine the existing grouting technology and materials to achieve active grouting escape in case of excessive sinkage.
