CARGO TERMINAL OF THE MINING COMPLEX OF UNDERWATER PLACER DEPOSITS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC E21C50/00 B63C7/00 

FIELD: robotics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater robotic complexes and can be used in projects for the development of the resources of the World Ocean. The cargo terminal of the mining complex of underwater placer deposits contains a transport module in the form of a sealed chamber with an entrance hatch and synchronously operating winches for its vertical movement and is equipped with attachment points for a cargo container for delivery to the surface of the collected cargo. On the upper bottom of the module, together with conical pins and receiving traps, devices for rigid orientation and fixation of the transport module relative to the above-water object as part of the mining complex, attachment points for cargo power cables with control drives of synchronously operating winches lifting the transport module/the cargo container package to the surface are mounted.

EFFECT: possibility of automating the delivery of collected placer materials to supporting vessels, is achieved by using upper cargo and lower transport lines that solve the problems of accurate orientation and fixation of the transport module relative to underwater and surface objects.
