AUTONOMOUS DREDGING VEHICLE FOR DREDGING A DAM RESERVOIR
The invention relates to an autonomous dredging vehicle for dredging a dam reservoir (4), which dredging vehicle comprises: - a floating body (6), like a pontoon; - propelling means (7,8) for propelling the floating body through the dam reservoir; - a suction head (13) arranged to a first end of a first hose (12) for sucking up slurry, wherein the other end of the first hose is arranged to the floating body; - a discharge pipe (15) for downward hanging arrangement to outside of the dam; - a second hose (14) arranged with one end in fluid connection to the discharge pipe and with the other end arranged to the floating body and in fluid connection with the first hose; - a controllable dosing means (38,39) for controlling the flow rate of slurry (40) being discharged by the discharge pipe; - a density and flow sensor (10) arranged in the fluid path between the suction head and the discharge pipe; - control means (42) for controlling the propelling means to move the floating body autonomously over the reservoir and for controlling the controllable dosing means such that the flow rate of slurry being discharged by the discharge pipe remains below a preset threshold.
