Introduction

Traditional conventional cutter suction dredgers rely entirely on manual on-site operation and experience judgment. Manual operation has inherent drawbacks such as high operational difficulty, unstable construction accuracy and strong human uncertainty, which easily cause common problems including over-dredging, incomplete residual silt removal and uneven dredging bottom terrain. For modern high-standard ecological environmental dredging, drinking water source protection and standardized waterway engineering, traditional manual dredging modes can no longer meet strict construction and acceptance requirements, making intelligent unmanned dredging an inevitable industry development trend.
Ocean Pump intelligent automatic cutter suction dredger integrates high-precision GPS/Beidou dual positioning system, automatic constant-depth dredging control system, real-time data acquisition and remote monitoring system, and intelligent fault diagnosis and protection system. It realizes automatic route cruising, fixed-depth precision dredging and long-term unattended stable operation, effectively eliminating manual operation errors, greatly improving overall dredging accuracy, construction efficiency and on-site operation safety.

Core Intelligent System Configuration

1. GPS High-Precision Positioning & Automatic Navigation

Equipped with high-precision GPS and Beidou dual-mode satellite positioning system, the dredger can automatically generate scientific construction routes and regional layout plans according to the preset dredging scope, depth standard and construction sequence. It realizes automatic swinging positioning, autonomous walking and fixed-point dredging operations, effectively avoiding repeated overlapping construction, missed dredging areas and low-efficiency blind operation existing in manual construction modes.

2. Automatic Constant Depth Dredging System

Built-in high-sensitivity underwater depth sensing sensors monitor real-time underwater terrain and dredging depth data throughout the construction process. The intelligent control system automatically adjusts the lifting and lowering height of the cutter head and the swing amplitude according to real-time data, keeping the dredging depth highly consistent and uniform. The overall precision error is strictly controlled within ±5cm, fully meeting the ultra-high precision requirements of modern ecological dredging and fine water environment renovation projects.

3. Real-Time Data Monitoring & Remote Background

The intelligent background system synchronously monitors core operating data in real time, including dredge pump working pressure, underwater slurry concentration, engine operating power, real-time fuel consumption and equipment operating temperature. All operational data can be remotely checked, recorded and exported through mobile terminals and computer platforms. The system automatically triggers sound and light alarm and safety protection responses once abnormal data is detected, effectively preventing equipment failure and construction accidents.

4. Automatic Fault Diagnosis & Protection

The intelligent control system is embedded with multiple safety protection logics covering equipment overload, pipeline blockage, system overheating and low oil pressure faults. Once abnormal working conditions occur, the system will automatically cut off the power and stop operation for self-protection, effectively protecting the core dredge pump, engine unit and hydraulic system from damage, reducing equipment failure rate and extending the overall service life of the dredger.
