[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 for Figure 3AA cross-sectional view, the garbage collection mechanism includes an inner barrel 5 and an acrylic outer barrel 11 which are sleeved with each other, the inner barrel 5 is a thin-walled stainless steel barrel, and a spiral blade 6 is welded on the inner wall. A large gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner barrel 5 along the circumferential direction, and the large gear 7 is located outside the acrylic outer barrel 11. The inner wall of the large gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner barrel 5. A U-shaped bearing support frame a9 is fixedly connected to the top of the acrylic outer barrel 11, and a bearing 8 is arranged in the bearing support frame a9. The inner ring of the bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner barrel 5, and the outer wall of the acrylic outer barrel 11 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing 8 through three outer barrel and bearing fixing connecting pieces 10. The outer barrel and bearing fixing connecting piece 10 and the outer wall of the bearing 8 are bonded by polyurethane adhesive, and the three outer barrel and bearing fixing connecting pieces 10 are all arc-shaped thin sheets.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11 is annular in structure, which is used to fix the plastic valve 18. The plastic valve 18 is adhered to the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11. The plastic valve 18 is generally a circular thin sheet, which is cut 120 degrees inside and divided into three pieces. The plastic valve 18 is first adhered to the annular surface at the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11 by polyurethane glue, and then fixed by an annular clamping ring 24.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, elastic sheets 15 are installed at the bottom of the middle position of the three plastic valves 18 along the radial direction of the plastic valves 18, and the elastic sheets 15 are fixed and glued to the plastic valves 18; the plastic valves 18, the elastic sheets 15 and the annular clamping ring 24 are fixed to the annular structure at the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11 through the first screw 13 and the first thin nut 14, and a small hole structure is welded at one end of the elastic sheet 15 close to the axis of the plastic valve 18.

The waterproof motor 1 is electrically connected to a solar panel and a battery. The rotation of the waterproof motor 1 is transmitted to the inner barrel 5 through the reduction transmission of the large gear 7 and the pinion 28.

[0033] The mounting mechanism includes a bracket shaft seat 23 fixed to the side wall of the bearing support frame b22 by a second screw 26, the second screw 26 prevents the bracket shaft 37 from moving relative to each other in the bracket shaft seat 23, the bracket shaft seat 23, the bearing support frame b22 and the bearing support frame a9 are fixed by a second bolt 19, a second nut 20 and a first gasket 21, a stepped bracket shaft 37 is fixed to the top of the bracket shaft seat 23, a motor bracket 36 is sleeved at the step of the bracket shaft 37, the bracket shaft 37 and the motor bracket 36 are connected by a pin 35, and a hook 41 is connected to the top of the bracket shaft 37 by a third screw 38, a second thin nut 39 and a third gasket 40, and the relative position of the top surface of the inner barrel 5 and the water surface can be ensured by adjusting the height of the hook 41, which is mainly used for fixing the surface garbage collection device, and can be adjusted in height to be hung on a fixing device of a port, a dock or a salvage ship, and the waterproof motor 1 is connected to the motor bracket 36 by a first bolt 2 and a first nut 3.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the garbage storage mechanism includes three gauze and spring fixing plates 12 bonded to the bottom side wall of the acrylic outer barrel 11 by polyurethane glue. The three gauze and spring fixing plates 12 are all arc-shaped acrylic sheets with small holes drilled at the bottom. The tops of the three gauze and spring fixing plates 12 are fixedly connected with gauze fixing rings 25.

Filament springs 17 are fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the three gauze and spring fixing plates 12 and the small hole structure.

[0035] In the water surface garbage collection device of the present invention, the waterproof motor 1, long key 4, coupling 31, key 29, small shaft 27, inner barrel 5, spiral blade 6, large gear 7, bearing support frame a9, bearing support frame b22, elastic sheet 15, filament spring 17, balls of bearing 8 and various standard parts are all made of water-resistant alloy materials, and others are made of corrosion-resistant plastic or acrylic materials to reduce their own weight. In the water surface garbage collection device of the present invention, all parts are waterproofed.

[0036] The working principle of the water surface garbage collection device of the present invention is: first, the top surface of the inner barrel 5 of the garbage collection device is placed two to three centimeters below the water surface, the waterproof motor 1 rotates and decelerates through the large gear 7 and the small gear 28, and transmits the rotation speed to the inner barrel 5. The inner barrel 5 rotates at a high speed to make the spiral blade 6 stir the sea water or lake water to form a vortex, forming suction, sucking the surrounding garbage, and the sucked garbage and water impact the plastic valve 18 at the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11. The three plastic valves 18 swing downward and open, and the garbage and water rush into the gauze 16 at the bottom of the acrylic outer barrel 11. The water is filtered out by the gauze 16, and the garbage remains in the gauze 16. When the solar power supply is insufficient or the power is cut off, the waterproof motor 1 stops, and the plastic valve 18 rises up under the action of water tension. Due to the pulling force of the filament spring 17, the plastic valve 18 maintains a certain horizontal position, realizing the one-way opening of the gauze 16 so that the garbage can only enter but not exit. When the solar power or electric power supply is restored, the inner barrel 5 continues to rotate to realize the collection work. Since the gauze 16 is below the salvaging device, a large amount of garbage can be collected, and manual labor only needs to regularly clean the garbage in the gauze 16 and re-fix the gauze 16.

[0037] The method for using the water surface garbage collection device of the present invention specifically comprises the following steps:

[0038] Step 1, fix the hook 41 above the water surface;

[0039] Step 2, place the top surface of the inner barrel 5 2 cm to 3 cm below the water surface;

[0040] Step 3, turn on the waterproof motor 1;

[0041] Step 4, regularly check the garbage collection situation inside the gauze 16 and the stretching state of the filament spring 17 to clean the gauze 16 and replace the filament spring 17.

[0042] The surface garbage collection device of the present invention is small in size, simple in structure, easy to use and install, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, and suitable for use in various ports, docks and lakes. It can be powered by solar energy or electric energy according to the actual local conditions to achieve automatic salvage and collection of garbage, and the bracket shaft 37 can also be customized into a telescopic structure with adjustable height for easy use.
