Abstract
A mining vehicle for mining cobalt-rich crusts ore from the seabed includes a walking mechanism; a supporting arm, a crushing and collecting mechanism and a hydraulic circulation mechanism. The supporting arm is set on the walking mechanism, and a rotating structure is set at the connection between the supporting arm and the walking mechanism for realizing left-right rotation of the supporting arm; at the same time, the supporting arm can be realized to rotate up and down. The crushing and collecting mechanism is set at the front end of the hydraulic circulating mechanism for crushing the ores. The hydraulic circulating mechanism is set on the supporting arm and the walking mechanism, for collecting the ores, and for promoting flocculation and precipitation of the sediments, and for reducing the degree of particle diffusion.
