This device collects floating debris by harnessing the power of waves, flushing it onto an energy-gathering panel. A first collection section at the front pulls small debris and water mixtures to the sides under gravity, while larger debris is swept to the rear for sorting and collection. This design utilizes a purely mechanical structure and wave-assisted approach, eliminating the need for power or electricity. This fully utilizes the natural resource of waves, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to environmental sustainability. The device uses the kinetic energy of waves to impact floating debris onto the device for collection. The wave-driven first collection section fully utilizes the energy and separates large and small debris. This device can separate and collect large and small floating debris, improving collection completeness and increasing the volume of debris collected across different sizes, facilitating subsequent processing. The device provides reliable and continuous collection of floating debris, and its collection modules are easily removable, ensuring high-quality collection and adaptability across diverse regions. This achieves marine waste sorting while also complying with carbon reduction principles. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

The bottom of the bottom plate 1 is in contact with the sea surface. The bottom plate 1 is made of lightweight materials such as PVC. The bottom plate 1, the energy-gathering panel 25 and the vertical plate 6 form a triangular structure, which is conducive to the stability of the overall device. The seawater gathering part is used to gather garbage floating on the sea surface. When the seawater flow generates waves that impact the energy-gathering panel 25, the waves wash the garbage to the top of the energy-gathering panel 25. The garbage is divided into small particles of garbage and large particles of garbage. When the seawater drives the garbage to move to the top of the energy-gathering panel 25, the first collecting part can collect small particles of garbage. The seawater and the large particles of garbage move to the top of the energy-gathering panel 25 and fall into the second collecting part. The second collecting part collects the large particles of garbage. At the same time, the seawater carrying the garbage falls from the top of the second collecting part and impacts the power part. The power part drives the internal structure of the first collecting part to operate, thereby realizing the collection of small particles of garbage, making full use of the kinetic energy of the seawater waves, and completing the collection of floating garbage in the seawater without providing additional power.

[0024] A further optimization scheme involves the seawater gathering portion comprising two symmetrically arranged first baffles 2 in a figure-eight shape, one end of each of which is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. These first baffles 2 increase the area for handling floating debris. When seawater carrying debris flows toward the device, the two first baffles 2 gather the debris, facilitating its collection.

[0025] A further optimized solution includes two symmetrically arranged second baffles 13. The edges of the second baffles 13 are fixedly connected to the sides of the energy-gathering panel 25. Opposing sidewalls of the two second baffles 13 are rotatably connected to a second shaft 14, which is fixedly connected to a discharge unit. The second shaft 14 is in transmission connection with the power unit. The two second baffles 13 are fixedly connected to a common first filter 16, which has a semicircular cross-section and is positioned above the discharge unit. The second baffles 13 prevent waste from falling to the sides as it moves toward the top of the energy-gathering panel 25. The first filter 16 prevents large particles of waste from passing through. The second shaft 14, powered by the power unit, rotates, driving the discharge unit to collect small particles of waste.

[0026] A further optimized solution is provided, in which the discharge portion includes two spiral blades 15 fixed to the second rotating shaft 14, the two spiral blades 15 are respectively located at both ends of the second rotating shaft 14, the two spiral blades 15 rotate in opposite directions, and the outer edges of the two spiral blades 15 are respectively fixed with sleeves 28, the first filter screen 16 is covered above the sleeve 28, and a plurality of collecting square holes 26 are provided on the side wall of the sleeve 28, and the collecting square holes 26 are arranged at equal intervals along the axis of the sleeve 28, and the collecting square holes 26 are rotatably connected to the gravity baffle 27, and two first collecting boxes 4 are fixed to the top of the bottom plate 1, the first collecting box 4 is located below the end of the sleeve 28, and a plurality of water-permeable holes are provided at the bottom of the first collecting box 4. The gravity baffle 27 moves under the action of gravity. When the gravity baffle 27 is facing upward, it opens relative to the collection square hole 26, and the small particles pass through the first filter 16 and enter the collection square hole 26. As the second rotating shaft 14 rotates, the gravity baffle 27 gradually closes during the downward rotation process, blocking the collection square hole 26 to prevent small particles of garbage from falling out. During the rotation process, the spiral blade 15 gradually pushes the small particles of garbage to the two ends of the second rotating shaft 14, so that they fall from the sleeve 28 into the first collection box 4, completing the collection of small particles of garbage.

[0027] A further optimized solution is provided, in which the power unit includes two first brackets 9 fixed to the side walls of the vertical plate 6. The two first brackets 9 are connected to the first rotating shaft 8 in common rotation. A first synchronous wheel 10 is fixed to the middle of the first rotating shaft 8. A second synchronous wheel 29 is fixed to the middle of the second rotating shaft 14. The second synchronous wheel 29 is connected to the first synchronous wheel 10 through a synchronous belt 11. A plurality of blades 7 are fixed to both ends of the first rotating shaft 8. The blades 7 are located below the second collecting part. The seawater flowing down from the second collecting part pushes the blades 7 to rotate. The blades 7 drive the first rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 8 drives the first synchronous wheel 10 to rotate. The first synchronous wheel 10 transmits power to the second synchronous wheel 29 through the synchronous belt 11. The second synchronous wheel 29 drives the second rotating shaft 14 to rotate, completing the power transmission. The power comes from the kinetic energy of the waves and the potential energy of gravity. It is renewable and does not require additional energy. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0028] A further optimized solution is provided, in which the second collecting part includes two symmetrically arranged collecting plates 12, the side walls of the collecting plates 12 are fixed to the vertical plates 6, and the opposite side walls of the two collecting plates 12 are rotatably connected with a number of third rotating shafts 21, the outer walls of the third rotating shafts 21 are fixed with rollers 20, and the number of third rotating shafts 21 are arranged along an oblique line, a second through hole 19 is opened on the top of the vertical plate 6, a second collecting box 5 is fixed to the top of the bottom plate 1, and the second collecting box 5 is located below the second through hole 19, and the lower ends of the number of third rotating shafts 21 are opposite to the second through hole 19, and a drainage part is provided below the third rotating shaft 21, and the drainage part is opposite to the blade 7. The seawater falling from the top of the energy-gathering panel 25 carries large particles of garbage into the space surrounded by the two collecting plates 12. The seawater falls from the gap between the rollers 20. The large particles of garbage roll downward under the rotation of the rollers 20 and fall into the second collecting box 5 through the second through hole 19, completing the collection of large particles of garbage. The hole surrounded by four partitions 18 in the middle of the second collecting box 5 allows the synchronous belt 11 to pass through, preventing the second collecting box 5 from interfering with the synchronous belt 11.

[0029] A further optimized solution includes a drainage section comprising a second filter 22, the edges of which are fixedly connected to the collection plate 12. A third baffle 23 and a fourth baffle 24 are located below the second filter 22. The edges of the fourth and third baffles 24, 23 are fixedly connected to the collection plate 12. A water outlet is formed below the fourth and third baffles 24, 23, and is positioned opposite the blades 7. Small particles of garbage remaining in the seawater are filtered by the second filter 22 and retained above the second filter 22. The seawater passes through the outlet formed by the fourth and third baffles 24, 23 and impacts the blades 7, causing them to rotate and converting the seawater's kinetic energy.

[0030] In a further optimized solution, a plurality of floats 3 are fixed to the sidewalls of the first baffle 2. The floats 3 can improve the floating performance of the entire device.

[0031] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: the bottom plate 1 can be connected and fixed to the seabed by ropes, and the seawater carrying floating garbage impacts the energy-gathering panel 25 under the action of waves. The two first baffles 2 can play the role of gathering garbage, which is beneficial to the collection of floating garbage. In the process of seawater ascending, the first filter screen 16 can prevent large particles of garbage from passing through. The seawater carrying large particles of garbage falls from the top of the energy-gathering panel 25 to the space surrounded by the two collecting plates 12, and the seawater falls from the gap between the rollers 20. The large particles of garbage roll downward under the rotation of the rollers 20 and fall into the second collection box 5 through the second through hole 19, completing the collection of large particles of garbage. The small particles of garbage remaining in the seawater are filtered by the second filter screen 22 and remain above the second filter screen 22. The seawater impacts the blade 7 through the outlet surrounded by the fourth baffle 24 and the third baffle 23, causing the blade 7 to rotate The blade 7 drives the first rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 8 drives the first synchronous wheel 10 to rotate. The first synchronous wheel 10 transmits power to the second synchronous wheel 29 through the synchronous belt 11. The second synchronous wheel 29 drives the second rotating shaft 14 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 14 drives the sleeve 28 and the spiral blade 15 and other components to rotate. The gravity baffle 27 moves under the action of gravity. When the gravity baffle 27 is facing upward, it is opened relative to the collection square hole 26. The small particles pass through the first filter screen 16 and enter the collection square hole 26. As the second rotating shaft 14 rotates, the gravity baffle 27 gradually closes during the downward rotation process, blocking the collection square hole 26 to prevent small particles of garbage from falling out. During the rotation process, the spiral blade 15 gradually pushes the small particles of garbage to the two ends of the second rotating shaft 14, so that they fall from the sleeve 28 to the first collection box 4, completing the collection of small particles of garbage.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 5 The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the first baffle 2 is a V-shaped structure, and the open end of the first baffle 2 faces the side of the energy gathering panel 25. When seawater impacts the device, the first baffle 2 plays a role in guiding the flow, so that the bottom end of the energy gathering panel 25 of the device is always facing the direction of the wave impact.
