Sea-bed mining vehicle

A deep-sea mining vehicle for taking up mineral deposits from a seabed at great depth, wherein the vehicle comprises:

• a support frame provided with means for moving the vehicle forward on the seabed in a direction of movement, with at least one suction head with an open suction side which is directed toward the seabed and along which the mineral deposits and surrounding water are taken up and led to a suction conduit of the vehicle, and with a temporary storage, connected via the suction conduit to the at least one suction head, for the mineral deposits taken up,
• wherein the temporary storage comprises a container with a front wall, a rear wall, side walls, an upper wall and a bottom,
• wherein the temporary storage further comprises at a position of the upper wall and connecting to the front wall a first connecting part for the suction conduit, and at substantially a same height and connecting to the rear wall, a second connecting part for an upper discharge conduit for discharge of substantially the sucked-up water,
• wherein the temporary storage further comprises at a position of the bottom and connecting to the interior of the container a third connecting part for a lower discharge conduit for discharge of substantially the mineral deposits, wherein the second connecting part has an elongate tubular form and extends in a parallel direction to a width direction of the deep-sea mining vehicle,
• wherein the third connecting part has an elongated tubular form and extends in a longitudinal direction of the deep-sea mining vehicle.
