Abstract
A dredging tube system includes a tube unit and a plurality of spaced-apart sediment-trapping units. The tube unit includes a tube structure that has an inner surrounding surface surrounding a longitudinal axis. The sediment-trapping units are mounted fixedly on the inner surrounding surface and are arranged along the longitudinal axis. Each of the sediment-trapping units includes a plurality of sediment-trapping members that cooperatively form an annular ring structure. Each of the sediment-trapping members has an abutment portion that has a curved outer surface entirely abutting against the inner surrounding surface of the tube structure, and a projecting portion that extends radially and inwardly from the abutment portion.
Claims8
A dredging tube system comprising:
- a tube unit including a tube structure that has an inner surrounding surface surrounding a longitudinal axis of said tube structure and defining a tube space adapted for passage of water;
- and
- a plurality of spaced-apart sediment-trapping units disposed in said tube space, mounted fixedly on said inner surrounding surface, and arranged along the longitudinal axis, each of said sediment-trapping units including a plurality of sediment-trapping members that cooperatively form an annular ring structure surrounding the longitudinal axis, each of said sediment-trapping members having an abutment portion that has a curved outer surface entirely abutting against said inner surrounding surface of said tube structure, and a projecting portion that extends radially and inwardly from said abutment portion, such that at least a portion of sediments carried by the water is trapped by said sediment-trapping units as the water flows within said tube space.
