Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a water surface cleaning device, in particular to an online controlled multifunctional water surface cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, while people pay attention to economic benefits, they often ignore environmental pollution, such as various garbage floating on the water surface. Artificial lakes or dams in scenic areas need to be cleaned up regularly to prevent garbage accumulation and water pollution. At present, most of the time, manual salvage is used. However, this not only increases the labor intensity of the staff, but also puts the staff in danger. Cleaning staff falling into the water body is also reported in the newspapers from time to time.

[0003] Research status of this project at home and abroad:

[0004] The Changzhou Hypermedia and Perception Technology Research Institute has conducted research in this area. The robot can remove garbage and blue algae floating on the water surface. It is small in size and flexible in movement, and has excellent salvage effects on small areas. In addition, related companies have also designed surface cleaning boats. For example, the invention patent application with publication number CN103466049A discloses a water cleaning boat, which includes a hull, a propulsion device is provided at the tail of the hull, a cleaning door is provided at the end of the hull, and the cleaning door and the hull are connected by rotation. A wireless control device, a cleaning motor and an obstacle removal motor are provided inside the hull, a centrifugal fan is provided inside the hull, which is connected to the cleaning motor, and a filter is provided at the air outlet of the centrifugal fan. Multiple storage bins are provided inside the hull, and the storage bins and the cleaning door are transparent to each other. An infrared camera and a solar power supply device are provided at the top of the hull, and a manipulator is provided at the front end of the hull. The cleaning motor, the cleaning motor, the manipulator and the wireless control device are electrically connected. From the above two solutions, it can be seen that most of the existing surface cleaning boats are large in size, expensive to manufacture, and not flexible enough. Shallow water areas, especially the edge of the water surface, are difficult for boats to reach. Due to the propulsion of water flow and waves, a large amount of garbage often gathers on the edge of the water surface. Small surface cleaning robots have the disadvantages of single functions and inflexible manual control operations.

[0005] A water surface cleaning machine with high cleaning efficiency, good safety, good flexibility and multifunctionality that can achieve online remote control. Summary of the invention

[0040] The device body 10 has a propulsion assembly; the garbage collection unit is composed of a mesh garbage collection bin 15 arranged at the front of the lower part of the device body 10 and a garbage recovery compartment 14 connected to the rear end of the mesh garbage collection bin 15; the multifunctional storage unit is composed of an adjustable storage bin 5 arranged above the device body 10 and a conveyor belt 9 arranged at the upper rear part of the device body 10; the control unit is composed of a waterproof glass cover 3 arranged at the upper end of the front part of the device body 10, a control single chip microcomputer 18 and a positioning mechanism 2 (which can be a GPS positioning device) arranged in the waterproof glass cover 3, and the control single chip microcomputer 18 has a wireless signal transmitter; the observation unit is composed of a camera 1 arranged above the device body 10, night lights 16 arranged on both sides of the device body, and an infrared sensor 17 arranged at the front end of the device body 10. The positioning mechanism 2 cooperates with the camera 1, so that the user can also accurately understand the location and situation of the scene online, and the setting of the night light 16 is convenient for the user to operate at night. The setting of the infrared sensor 17 enables the device of the present invention to automatically warn the user when it approaches an obstacle at a certain distance, thereby improving the safety of the working environment of the device.

[0041] More specifically, in this embodiment:

[0042] Preferably, a floating plate 11 is provided below the main body 10 of the device, and the garbage collection unit is located below the floating plate 11. The draft of the hull is reduced, the stability of the device on the water surface is improved, and navigation is facilitated, while energy is saved and energy consumption is reduced. At this time, the mesh garbage collection bin 15 and the garbage recovery bin 14 are located below the floating plate 11. The upper edge of the opening of the mesh garbage collection bin 15 can be higher than the water surface, and the lower edge is located in the water, so as to meet the collection of garbage on the water surface and within a certain depth below the water surface.

[0043] Preferably, the propulsion assembly includes an underwater propeller 13 arranged on the left and right below the device body 10, and each underwater propeller 13 is connected to the device body 10 through two connecting rods 12. Preferably, the underwater propeller 13 is located below the two sides of the device body 10, such as Figure 2 As shown, on the one hand, the width of the device is increased and the stability of the equipment is improved. On the other hand, the interference of the underwater propeller 13 to the garbage collection unit is avoided, and the garbage collection efficiency is higher.

[0044] The garbage collection compartment 14 is preferably located in the middle of the lower part of the device body 10, so that the weight is more easily balanced during the garbage collection process. The rear part of the mesh garbage collection compartment 15 is connected to the front part of the garbage collection compartment 14, and the garbage collection compartment 14 can be a porous plate structure. The garbage in front of the device enters the mesh garbage collection compartment 15 during the forward movement of the device and is brought into the garbage collection compartment 14 as the device moves forward. The garbage collection compartment 14 is preferably a porous structure, which can hold the garbage while preventing a large amount of water from entering to affect the garbage storage capacity and increase the operating resistance of the device.

[0045] Preferably, the storage bin 5 is movably connected to the device body 10 through the bent rod connection mechanism 6, the slide rail 4 and the driving mechanism 19. The slide rail 4 is arranged on the device body 10. The bottom end of the bent rod connection mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4, and the top end is connected to the storage bin 5. The driving mechanism 19 is arranged on the device body 10 and acts on the bent rod connection mechanism 6 (which can be hinged) to drive the bent rod connection mechanism 6 to move on the slide rail 4. Figures 1-2 As shown, it is further preferred that two slide rails 4, curved rod connection mechanisms 6 and drive mechanisms 19 are each provided, the bottom ends of the two curved rod connection mechanisms 6 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 4, and the top ends are respectively connected to the two sides of the storage bin 5. Both drive mechanisms 19 are hydraulic rods, one end of the hydraulic rod is fixed to the device body 10, and the other end acts on the curved rod connection mechanism 6. Through the above arrangement, the load-bearing capacity is stronger and more stable. The curved rod connection mechanism 6 is preferably an arc-shaped connection rod with an opening facing backwards, and the bottom of the curved rod connection mechanism 6 is preferably connected to the slide rail 4 through a roller with a clamping mechanism. Through the extension and contraction of the hydraulic rod, the change of the inclination angle or position of the storage bin 5 can be driven. Through the change of the inclination angle and / or position of the storage bin 5, it cooperates with the conveyor belt 9 to realize garbage collection at the tail of the device or to put fish feed at the tail of the device. It is preferred that the conveyor belt 9 is tiltedly arranged on the device body 10 through the conveyor belt connection seat 8, and is lower toward the end of the tail of the device body 10. It is also further preferred that the height of the conveyor belt connection seat 8 is adjustable, so that the inclination angle of the conveyor belt 9 can be adjusted. It is further preferred that both the storage bin 5 and the garbage recovery bin 14 are provided with a light beam shielding sensor 7 for sensing the amount of the loaded contents.

[0046] For example, when fish feed needs to be put in, the storage bin 5 can be adjusted by the hydraulic rod to move the storage bin 5 device tail, and the angle of the storage bin 5 can be adjusted (continue to adjust after locking the roller) so that the storage bin 5 tail is tilted downward and located above the conveyor belt 9, and the fish feed is placed in the storage bin 5, and the fish feed can be put in through the conveyor belt 8. When it is necessary to collect the garbage at the tail of the device, the tilt angle of the storage bin 5 can be adjusted to make it horizontal or the front end lower, and the tilt angle of the conveyor belt 9 can be further adjusted so that the front end of the conveyor belt 9 is located above the rear end of the storage bin 5. At this time, the transmission belt can drive the stern garbage into the storage bin 5 by rotating. In most cases, the storage bin 5 of the device of the present invention is mainly used to cooperate with the conveyor belt 9 to put fish feed.

[0047] Preferably, the wireless signal transmitter is a mobile network signal transmitter, a WIFI signal transmitter or a Bluetooth signal transmitter. The device also includes a control terminal, which is a PC or a mobile terminal. The control terminal can be used to control the device through the wireless signal transmitter.

[0048] When in use, the user uses the terminal device, through the online website or mobile phone software, to control the propulsion component of the device to move in a human-computer interactive manner, obtain the device position and water surface conditions in real time through the positioning mechanism and camera, collect garbage through the mesh garbage collection bin, and then put it into the garbage recovery cabin. The storage bin above the device can store feed for feeding, and can also be used to collect stern garbage. Further, by setting a beam shielding sensor, when the beam shielding sensor in the storage bin or garbage recovery bin is sensed, it is determined that the garbage recovery bin or storage bin is full (empty), and the device returns to the starting point through manual control; or the microcontroller is controlled to locate the starting point, and the device automatically returns to the starting point.

[0049] In this embodiment, the camera 1, the positioning mechanism 2, the beam shielding sensor 7, the infrared sensor 17 and the control single-chip computer 18 can all adopt relevant products available on the market. For example, the control single-chip computer 18 can adopt the STM32WB wireless series MCU, or other single-chip computers with wireless functions; the camera 1 can adopt any commercially available portable camera, and the positioning mechanism adopts a GPS module, such as a G28U7FTTL chip, or other GPS modules; the beam shielding sensor 7 can adopt the Panasonic EX-10 series ultra-thin photoelectric sensor, or other commercially available products; the infrared sensor 17 can adopt the Panasonic CX-400 series amplifier built-in small photoelectric sensor, or other commercially available products.
