Mechanism for collecting impurities in stagnant waters

Abstract

The equipment for collection of impurities in stagnant waters having a catamaran design includes two catamaran floats (1) having a form of a hollow body terminated by the jaws (7), where at the front part of the catamaran floats (1) there is mounted in the frame (2) the conveyor belt (3) with the removable mesh belt (11) with fixed forks (12), with the drive (5) of the belt (11). At the middle part of the catamaran floats (1), under the conveyor belt (3), there is attached the removable container (8), in the cavity of the catamaran floats (1) there are the batteries (14) connected to the photovoltaic cells (9), which are installed on bracket (4) of the photovoltaic panels and at the end of the catamaran floats (1) there is fixed the marine engine (13), the rudder (6) and the remotely programmable control (10), and the equipment is also provided with a separate remote control—a joystick.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a national stage entry of PCT / SK2013 / 000004 filed Mar. 22, 2013, under the International Convention claiming priority over Slovakia Application No. PUV 50-2012 filed Mar. 28, 2012.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The technical solution relates to equipment for collecting impurities in stagnant waters, having a catamaran design and belonging to the field of shipping and float equipment, with the specific aim of collecting solid particles and viscous impurities in stagnant waters of lakes and dams.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Catamaran designs used up to now have most often been used as watercraft for sports with a power drive or with sail propulsion. They are designed on the principle of two floats such as racing catamaran structures for various sports classes or river catamarans. These types of equipment are built aerodynamically in order to achieve great speed. They are financially expensive and can only be used very inefficiently for slow...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The equipment includes an electric motor for driving the conveyor belts, a marine engine with manual control and a programmable remote control, an electrical power supply—batteries, photovoltaic cells for supplying direct current to the batteries. The trajectory of movement of the catamaran is controlled by the operator

Problems solved by technology

They are financially expensive and can only be used very inefficiently for slow collection of impurities from the surface of stagnant waters (FR2721580A1, JP5085465A, JP10119880A, JP60053487A, SE460720B, SE452735B, U.S. Pat. No. 7,045,058B2).

This technology is expensive, the equipment has large dimensions therefore it is less mobile and consequently manoeuvrable only with difficulties on smaller dams.
