Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of river cleaning technology, specifically a garbage collection device for river cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, river pollution has become increasingly serious. Floating garbage in rivers not only affects the aesthetics of the water, but also clogs waterways, damages the aquatic ecosystem, and even endangers the survival of aquatic life. Therefore, efficient river garbage cleanup has become an important task in maintaining the river's ecological environment.
[0003] Currently, river debris cleanup methods mainly include manual dredging and mechanical equipment. Manual dredging relies on manual operation, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses safety hazards in inclement weather or complex water environments. While mechanical equipment improves efficiency, most existing equipment suffers from complex structures, high costs, and difficulty adapting to changes in water levels. For example, some equipment cannot effectively collect debris when water levels rise or fall, resulting in poor cleanup outcomes; some equipment's drive systems rely on external power, increasing operating costs and potentially affecting the continuity of cleanup work due to energy supply issues.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a garbage collection device for river cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garbage collection device for river cleaning, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a garbage collection device for river dredging, comprising: a river body, a square rod, a conveying mechanism, and an adjusting mechanism. A support frame is fixedly installed at the top of the river body, and a U-shaped frame is slidably connected inside the support frame. Inflatable boats are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped frame, and a waterwheel is rotatably installed between the two inflatable boats. A square rod is slidably connected inside the support frame, and an inclined rod is fixedly connected to the top of the square rod. The inclined rod is located upstream of the waterwheel. A conveying mechanism is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame and is installed in conjunction with the waterwheel. An adjusting mechanism is installed on the support frame and is installed with the inclined rod.
[0007] Preferably, the inclined rod is in contact with the inner wall of the river channel at its upstream end, and does not contact the inner wall of the river channel at its downstream end.
[0008] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a guide trough, wherein a conveyor belt is fixedly connected to one side of one of the airbag boats, and the conveyor belt has a hollow design, is inclined, and the bottom end of the conveyor belt is located at the downstream end of the inclined rod. A guide trough is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame and is located directly below the highest point of the conveyor belt. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the conveyor belt, and a first gear is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft. A second gear is fixedly connected to the axle of the waterwheel, and the first gear and the second gear are meshed together.
[0009] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes: a worm, a worm wheel, and a threaded rod. The worm is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame, and the worm wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame. The worm wheel and the worm are meshed together. The square rod is slidably connected to the worm wheel. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame. One end of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a threaded slider. One end of the threaded slider is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the square rod.
[0010] Preferably, a crank handle is provided at one end of both the worm and the threaded rod.
[0011] Preferably, the feed chute is inclined.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] Adapting to water level changes and ensuring collection effectiveness: By setting airbag boats at both ends of the U-shaped frame, the waterwheel can always float on the water surface. Regardless of whether the river water level rises or falls, the waterwheel can work normally and rotate under the influence of the water flow. Compared with the problem of poor cleaning effect caused by the influence of water level on existing equipment, this device can stably collect floating garbage on the surface of the river at different water levels, significantly improving the reliability and sustainability of the cleaning work.
[0015] Using water flow to drive and reduce operating costs: This device cleverly uses water flow to drive the rotation of a waterwheel, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to collect garbage without relying on external energy. Compared with existing mechanical equipment that relies on external energy, this device significantly reduces operating costs and energy consumption, while avoiding situations where energy supply issues affect the cleaning work, thus demonstrating good economic and environmental benefits.
[0016] With a simple and reasonable structure, the device improves cleaning efficiency: The overall structural design is concise. Through the cooperation of components such as inclined rods, conveyor belts, and guide troughs, floating garbage can be effectively guided to the conveyor belt, and then transported to the guide trough for collection. The hollow and inclined design of the conveyor belt, as well as the inclined setting of the guide trough, prevents garbage accumulation and poor conveying, significantly improving cleaning efficiency compared to existing equipment. In addition, the adjustment mechanism can flexibly adjust the position of the inclined rods, changing the range of garbage interception and collection according to actual needs, further enhancing the practicality and cleaning effect of the device.
[0017] Reduce manual labor and ensure personnel safety: It changes the traditional situation of manual dredging, which is labor-intensive, inefficient and has safety hazards. Through the automated garbage collection process, it greatly reduces manual involvement, lowers labor costs, and ensures the personal safety of cleanup personnel. It is more suitable for river garbage cleanup in complex water environments. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a garbage collection device for river cleaning includes a river body 1, a square rod 5, a conveying mechanism, and an adjusting mechanism. A support frame 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the river body 1. A U-shaped frame 3 is slidably connected inside the support frame 2. Airbag boats 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped frame 3. A waterwheel 7 is rotatably installed between the two airbag boats 4. A square rod 5 is slidably connected inside the support frame 2. An inclined rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the square rod 5. The inclined rod 6 is located upstream of the waterwheel 7. A conveying mechanism is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame 2. The conveying mechanism is installed in conjunction with the waterwheel 7. An adjusting mechanism is installed on the support frame 2. The adjusting mechanism is installed with the inclined rod 6. The inclined rod 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the river body 1 at the upstream end and is not in contact with the inner wall of the river body 1 at the downstream end. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 3. The design of the airbag boats 4 ensures that the waterwheel 7 is always on the water surface. As the water level rises or falls, the waterwheel 7 can still float on the water surface and rotate under the drive of the water flow.
[0025] The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt 21 and a guide trough 22. The conveyor belt 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the airbag boat 4. The conveyor belt 21 has a hollow design and is inclined. The bottom end of the conveyor belt 21 is located downstream of the inclined rod 6. The top end of the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the guide trough 22, which is located directly below the highest point of the conveyor belt 21. The output end of the conveyor belt 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 23. One end of the connecting shaft 23 is fixedly connected to a first gear 24. The shaft center of the waterwheel 7 is fixedly connected to a second gear 25. The first gear 24 and the second gear 25 are meshed. The guide trough 22 is inclined. The water flow can drive the waterwheel 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 25 at the shaft center of the waterwheel 7 to rotate. Finally, the first gear 24 is driven to run, so that the connecting shaft 23 and the conveyor belt 21 run.
[0026] The adjusting mechanism includes a worm 31, a worm wheel 32, and a threaded rod 33. The worm 31 and worm wheel 32 are rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 2, respectively. The worm wheel 32 and worm 31 are meshed together. The square rod 5 is internally slidably connected to the worm wheel 32. The threaded rod 33 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 2. One end of the threaded rod 33 is threadedly connected to a threaded slider 34. One end of the threaded slider 34 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the square rod 5. Both the worm 31 and the threaded rod 33 are equipped with... A crank handle is used to rotate the threaded rod 33, causing the threaded slider 34 to drive the square rod 5 down until the inclined rod 6 at the bottom of the square rod 5 is on the water surface. At this time, the floating garbage on the surface of the river body 1 can be guided by the inclined rod 6 and move to the conveyor belt 21 at the downstream end of the inclined rod 6. The floating garbage is transported by the conveyor belt 21 and finally falls into the guide trough 22 in a parabolic shape from the highest point of the conveyor belt 21. The guide trough 22 is designed with an inclination, so the floating garbage is collected at the lowest end of the guide trough 22.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] First, install the support frame 2 at the top of the river body 1, and then install the airbag boat 4 on the support frame 2 through the U-shaped frame 3. Install it on the installation conveyor belt 21, and finally install the diagonal rod 6. Finally, adjust the diagonal rod 6.
[0029] The design of the airbag boat 4 makes it easy for the waterwheel 7 to always be on the water surface. As the water level rises or falls, the waterwheel 7 can still float on the water surface and rotate under the influence of the water flow.
[0030] When it is necessary to adjust the inclined rod 6, the two handles need to be rotated. First, rotate the threaded rod 33 so that the threaded slider 34 drives the square rod 5 to descend until the inclined rod 6 at the bottom of the square rod 5 is on the water surface. At this time, the floating garbage on the surface of the river body 1 can be guided by the inclined rod 6 and move to the conveyor belt 21 at the downstream end of the inclined rod 6. The floating garbage is transported by the conveyor belt 21 and finally falls into the guide trough 22 in a parabolic shape from the highest point of the conveyor belt 21. The guide trough 22 is designed to be inclined, so the floating garbage is collected at the lowest end of the guide trough 22.
[0031] The operation of the conveyor belt 21: Since the water flow can drive the waterwheel 7 to rotate, it will drive the second gear 25 at the shaft of the waterwheel 7 to rotate, and finally transmit the power to the first gear 24 to run, so that the connecting shaft 23 and the conveyor belt 21 can run, thereby realizing garbage collection.
