Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water area garbage treatment, in particular to a water area floating garbage salvage ship and a control method for the water area floating garbage salvage ship. Background Art

[0002] Water area garbage treatment is the top priority of water area governance. For this reason, floating garbage salvage ships are designed and widely used. Existing salvage ships generally drive the scraper fixed on the outer side of the roller shaft by the rotation of the roller shaft, that is, transfer the floating garbage on the water surface to the waste collection box at the tail in a form similar to a conveyor belt. However, this structure is driven by a roller shaft, and the roller shaft is driven by a motor, that is, the rotation of the overall structure is driven by a shaft. Since there are various types of water area garbage, when the shaft rotates, it is easy for garbage to wind around the connection of the shaft, resulting in the shaft being squeezed and stuck, and thus unable to work. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a water area floating garbage salvage ship and its control method. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0004] A water area floating garbage salvage ship, comprising: a hull and a garbage separation mechanism fixed on the hull.

[0005] Specifically, the garbage separation mechanism includes a water inlet pipe, a drainage mechanism, and a garbage collection box. The two sides of the garbage collection box are respectively communicated with the water inlet pipe and the drainage mechanism. The inside of the garbage collection box includes a detachable filtering mechanism and a lower filter screen closely attached to the lower surface of the filtering mechanism. The side of the filtering mechanism facing the water inlet pipe is open. The garbage collection box is divided into two parts centered on the filtering mechanism and is respectively communicated with the water inlet pipe and the drainage mechanism. The two ends of the lower filter screen are longer than the filtering mechanism to ensure that the cavity separated by the lower filter screen from the garbage collection box is always communicated with the water inlet pipe and the drainage mechanism.

[0006] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the drainage mechanism includes a water pump and a drainage pipe connected to the water outlet end of the water pump. The water inlet end of the water pump is connected with a water delivery pipe, and the other end of the water delivery pipe is communicated with the garbage collection box.

[0007] As an improvement of the above technical solution, an upper baffle is further arranged on the upper part of the filtering mechanism. The upper baffle is hermetically connected to the upper surface of the garbage collection box so that the filtering mechanism is located inside the garbage collection box.

[0008] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the filtering mechanism includes an inner filter screen. The inner filter screen and the upper baffle form a shell with one side open, and the opening faces the water inlet pipe.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, one end of the hull close to the water inlet pipe has a recessed portion, and the water inlet pipe is located inside the recessed portion.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a floating airbag is fixed to the outer edge of the hull, and a plurality of driving impellers are provided at the bottom of the hull.

[0011] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the hull includes a control unit, which includes a controller and an early warning module, a flow sensor and a power supply module electrically connected to the controller. The controller includes a wireless module, a camera module, a positioning module, a path generation module and a storage module.

[0012] The control method of a floating garbage salvage ship in waters comprises the following steps: using the floating garbage salvage ship in waters in the above technical solution to salvage garbage, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0013] The camera module acquires images of the surrounding environment and uses the controller to analyze the location of garbage;

[0014] Positioning the hull through the positioning module and connecting the garbage positions through the path generation module to generate a moving path;

[0015] The controller controls the hull to salvage garbage along the moving path.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] 1. Garbage is salvaged by letting water in through a pipe. A filtering structure is set up inside the pipe, and the lower filter screen and the filtering mechanism are used to separate them, forming a structure of lower water filtering and upper residue filtering. When the water source mixed with garbage enters from the water inlet pipe, the water source passes through the lower filter screen and the filtering mechanism at the same time, and the remaining garbage will be blocked on the side of the filtering mechanism close to the water inlet pipe, and the lower filter screen can ensure that the water source always flows to avoid garbage blockage until the entire garbage collection box is completely full. At this time, you can return for cleaning, and then you can proceed with the next garbage cleaning operation. Since the structure of water source and garbage filtering is adopted, the shaft will not get stuck and fail to work, and it is more stable to use.

[0018] 2. Furthermore, through the control unit, an integrated control device for camera, positioning, and route planning is provided, which can provide remote control and automatic planning functions for garbage cleaning, facilitating remote control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] The existing water area garbage salvage ship has a structure that uses a roller shaft to drive a scraper for garbage salvage. However, the roller shaft is usually driven by an electric motor, that is, the rotation of the overall structure is transmitted by a shaft. Since there are various types of water area garbage, when the shaft rotates, it is easy for garbage to be entangled at the connection of the shaft, resulting in the shaft being squeezed and stuck, and thus unable to work.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1-4 , a water area floating garbage salvage ship, comprising: a hull 10 and a garbage separation mechanism 20 fixed on the hull 10.

[0029] Specifically, the garbage separation mechanism 20 includes a water inlet pipe 21, a drainage mechanism, and a garbage collection box 22. The two sides of the garbage collection box 22 are respectively communicated with the water inlet pipe 21 and the drainage mechanism. The interior of the garbage collection box 22 includes a detachable filtering mechanism and a lower filter screen 223 closely attached to the lower surface of the filtering mechanism. The side of the filtering mechanism facing the water inlet pipe 21 is open. The garbage collection box 22 is divided into two parts centered on the filtering mechanism and is respectively communicated with the water inlet pipe 21 and the drainage mechanism. The two ends of the lower filter screen 223 are longer than the filtering mechanism to ensure that the cavity separated by the lower filter screen 223 from the garbage collection box 22 is always communicated with the water inlet pipe 21 and the drainage mechanism.

[0030] That is, both sides of the garbage collection bin 22 are actually divided into three parts, the two-part structure separated by the filtering mechanism and the cavity separated by the following filter screen 223. Since the lower filter screen 223 can filter water, although it blocks the lower position, the water source can still flow. In this way, when the garbage filtered by the filtering mechanism blocks the lower filter screen 223 and the filtering mechanism, the part exceeding the filtering mechanism can still ensure the flow of the water source. And when the filtering mechanism is completely covered, it indicates that the garbage collection bin 22 is full and can return for cleaning. When cleaning, remove the filtering mechanism, and the inside of the garbage collection bin 22 can be exposed for cleaning.

[0031] In the above technical solution, it is necessary to control the position of the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 21, that is, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 21 cannot be submerged too deep underwater to avoid the situation where the water flow cannot make the floating garbage enter the water inlet pipe 21.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the drainage mechanism includes a water pump 13 and a drainage pipe 14 connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 13. The water inlet end of the water pump 13 is connected with a water delivery pipe 23, and the other end of the water delivery pipe 23 is communicated with the garbage collection bin 22.

[0033] That is, the water pump 13 serves as the main power to drive the water inlet of the water inlet pipe 21 and the drainage of the drainage pipe 14. In this way, a power device can be used to drive the water source to flow in the garbage collection bin 22. According to different types of garbage to be cleaned, the specifications of the water inlet pipe 21 can be controlled. If more large garbage needs to be cleaned, the water inlet pipe 21 can be set as a pipe body with a larger inner diameter, and correspondingly, the number of water inlet pipes 21 needs to be reduced. If smaller-sized structures need to be cleaned, the water inlet pipe 21 can be set as a pipe body with a smaller inner diameter, and correspondingly, more water inlet pipes 21 can be set.

[0034] In the above technical solution, if the water inlet pipe 21 is arranged at other positions of the hull 10, it may cause the water inlet pipe 21 to fail to achieve the purpose of sucking garbage. Therefore, the position of the water inlet pipe 21 needs to be restricted. On this basis, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one end of the hull 10 close to the water inlet pipe 21 has a recess, and the water inlet pipe 21 is located inside the recess.

[0035] That is, the water inlet pipe 21 is arranged at the outer side position of the hull 10. The hull 10 provides a restriction on the water inlet pipe 21 to prevent the water inlet pipe 21 from being unstable underwater. Moreover, since the water inlet pipe 21 is arranged at the outer side of the hull 10, the garbage near the hull 10 can be sucked into the interior by the water inlet pipe 21, and there will be no problem that the garbage cannot be sucked due to the shielding of the hull 10.

[0036] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a floating airbag 11 is fixed to the outer edge of the hull 10, and a plurality of driving impellers 12 are arranged at the bottom of the hull 10.

[0037] The hull 10 floats on the water surface with the floating airbag 11 at the edge, and the power for movement and steering control is provided by the plurality of driving impellers 12 arranged. The driving and control of the driving impeller 12 here are widely used in the existing technology, so no more details will be described.

[0038] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an upper baffle 221 is further arranged on the upper part of the filtering mechanism. The upper baffle 221 is hermetically connected to the upper surface of the garbage collection box 22 so that the filtering mechanism is located inside the garbage collection box 22. In this way, the filtering mechanism can be directly removed from the side of the garbage collection box 22 and then cleaned. Such an operation is more convenient, and the upper baffle 221 needs to be connected to the garbage collection box 22 in a sealed form to avoid leakage at the connection, resulting in the inability to complete garbage filtration.

[0039] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , the filtering mechanism includes an inner filter screen 222. The inner filter screen 222 and the upper baffle 221 form a housing with an opening on one side, and the opening faces the water inlet pipe 21.

[0040] That is, after the inner filter screen 222 and the upper baffle 221 are combined, they can not only complete the filtering function, but also block the garbage inside the housing formed by the inner filter screen 222 and the upper baffle 221. In this way, when the connection of the upper baffle 221 is disconnected, the housing can be directly taken out, and the garbage contained in the housing can be taken down together, which is more convenient for subsequent garbage treatment and the overall operation efficiency is higher.

[0041] In the above technical solution, only the connection between the structures is recorded, and the control part of the hull 10 is not recorded. To supplement the control part of the hull 10, refer to Figure 5 , the hull 10 includes a control unit 40. The control unit 40 includes a controller 30 and a warning module 41, a flow sensor 42, and a power supply module 43 that are electrically connected to the controller 30. The controller 30 includes a wireless module 31, a camera module 32, a positioning module 33, a path generation module 34, and a storage module 35.

[0042] That is, the movement path of the hull 10 is generated by the path generation module 34. The situation around the hull 10 is continuously photographed by the camera module 32, and the images are transmitted to the controller 30. The controller 30 analyzes the images, obtains the places that may be garbage, and marks the corresponding locations. The path generation module 34 combines the marked positions with the positioning of the hull 10 by the positioning module 33 to plan the path. Usually, it is carried out by connecting points, that is, connecting the adjacent points to form a path until the path can cover all the marked points. Take this path as the movement path of the hull 10 for cleaning. The drainage volume of the drain pipe 14 is detected by the flow sensor 42. When the drainage volume significantly decreases, it indicates that the side of the lower filter screen 223 close to the water inlet pipe 21 is about to be completely blocked. At this time, the cleaning is stopped, and the current completion situation and the subsequent cleaning path are recorded, and then it returns. After the garbage is manually cleaned during the return, it is put into the water again. Similarly, the positioning module 33 is used for positioning to determine the position of the current point and the position where the last cleaning was paused. The controller 30 controls the driving impeller 12 to rotate to control the movement of the hull 10 until it reaches the position where the last cleaning was paused and continues to execute the last cleaning operation, and repeats until the cleaning task is completed.

[0043] In the above technical solution, there may be failures such as structural damage for cleaning, for example, the driving impeller 12 is stuck, the remaining power of the power supply module 43 is insufficient, etc. When the above situation occurs, it is warned by the warning module 41, that is, a wireless signal is sent by the wireless module 31 to inform the operator of the console that the hull 10 has a failure, and then the operator selects a specific treatment method.

[0044] Among them, the wireless module 31 generally refers to a 2.4G and 5G radio frequency antenna, which is used for wireless transmission and control. The camera module 32 is a camera, which is generally connected to an automatically steering pan-tilt head to automatically adjust the position and ensure the stability of the camera. The positioning module 33 is a GPS chip, which is used to send real-time positioning signals to the hull 10. The storage module 35 includes memory and flash memory. The memory is based on the operation of the controller 30 and provides real-time interaction of data, while the flash memory is used to record and save information during the working process of the hull 10. The saved data generally includes the route, cleaning time, number of cleanings, and fault information. In addition to the above structure, the controller 30 generally also includes a driver board as the main control, a central processing unit for data calculation, and a PCB for connecting various electronic components. The early warning module 41 generally includes a buzzer and a logic controller. After reaching the preset logic, it triggers the buzzer and transmits the signal through the wireless module 31. The power supply module 43 is a number of power supply groups, each of which has a number of power supply batteries. Each power supply group serves as a separate power supply to the controller 30, the water pump 13, the drive impeller 12 and other equipment. The path generation module 34 is an existing technology, which uses the path planning algorithm used by the existing map to perform multi-point path planning.

[0045] Example 2

[0047] The camera module 32 acquires images of the surrounding environment and the controller 30 analyzes the location of the garbage;

[0048] The hull 10 is positioned by the positioning module 33 and the garbage positions are connected by the path generation module 34 to generate a moving path;

[0049] The controller 30 controls the hull 10 to salvage garbage along the moving path.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
