Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment for emergency treatment of water pollution, and particularly relates to an integrated mobile emergency cyanobacteria removal device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the process of urbanization, the rapid population growth and accelerated industrialization and urbanization have greatly increased the discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients into water bodies, exacerbating the eutrophication of lakes and other water bodies and causing the aquatic ecological environment to deteriorate. With rising temperatures, phototrophic organisms in eutrophic slow-flowing water bodies, such as cyanobacteria and green algae, synthesize organic matter for their own growth and reproduction through photosynthesis, using light energy and inorganic matter. This leads to a rapid and concentrated proliferation of algae, forming algal blooms.

[0003] A sudden, concentrated algal bloom in a lake damages the aquatic environment and restricts human demand for water for drinking, industry, agriculture, landscaping, and recreation. The continuous deposition and decomposition of dead algae at the lake bottom also consumes large amounts of dissolved oxygen in deeper waters. In severe cases, this can deplete dissolved oxygen in deep waters, creating an anaerobic environment that makes it difficult for aerobic organisms to survive. This can even lead to mass fish deaths, damage to aquatic resources, and ultimately, the aging and decline of the lake.

[0004] When a blue-green algae bloom occurs in a body of water, the current common method for collecting the algae is to use floating containment vessels or cleaning boats to collect them, followed by manual removal. This method requires a large workforce and has low cleaning efficiency. If a large-scale blue-green algae bloom suddenly occurs on a water surface, existing collection methods are unlikely to be able to collect and remove the algae in a short period of time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an integrated mobile emergency cyanobacteria removal device and method.

[0006] This integrated mobile emergency cyanobacteria removal device includes: a large support frame, an algae suction port, an algae suction pump, multiple large floats, a float fixing frame, a PTFE fixing block, a float fixing block, and an isolation and protective net.

[0007] The bottom and top of the float fixing frame are symmetrically contacted with the outer spherical surface of the large float. Float fixing blocks are set on the top and bottom of the float fixing frame near the large float. Each float fixing block is equipped with a PTFE fixing block on the side away from the large float. Fastening screws pass through the PTFE fixing blocks, the float fixing blocks, and the interior of the large float to fix the top and bottom of the float fixing frame to the large float.

[0008] All large floats are equipped with large supports at the top and bottom. The top and bottom of each large float are fixed to the large support on the same side by fastening screws passing through its interior. The float fixing frame is fixed to the isolation and protection net by fastening screws. The large support at the bottom is equipped with an algae suction port, which is connected to the suction port of the algae suction pump. The discharge port of the algae suction pump is connected to the discharge hose. The algae suction port is a device that can rotate vertically and whose position can be adjusted up and down.

[0009] Preferably, the algae suction port includes an algae suction float, a spherical connector, and a spherical flange. The spherical connector is a device that can rotate along the upper and lower spherical surfaces. The algae suction float and the spherical connector are connected by threads, and the position of the algae suction float is adjustable up and down. The spherical flange is fixed between the algae suction pump and the spherical connector by bolts, and the spherical connector is fixedly connected to the spherical flange. There is a gap between the spherical connector and the spherical flange, which serves as space for the spherical connector to rotate freely.

[0010] Preferably, the algae suction port is made of plastic, and the suction port of the algae suction pump is always kept facing upwards.

[0011] Preferably, the float holder is U-shaped with shorter ends.

[0012] Preferably, the outer frame of the large support is triangular, and multiple smaller triangular support brackets are fixed to each other to form the inner frame of the large support.

[0013] Preferably, the isolation and protection net is triangular in shape, with each inner corner of the net being an outward-expanding arc.

[0014] The working method of this integrated mobile emergency blue-green algae removal device specifically includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Connect the algae suction port to the suction port of the algae suction pump, and connect the discharge hose to the discharge port of the algae suction pump; place the blue-green algae removal device in the water;

[0016] Step 2: Based on the location of the cyanobacteria, loosen the fastening screws between the large float and the large support, and adjust the position of the large float on the large support one by one until the horizontal height of the algae suction port is lower than the surface of the cyanobacteria and partially submerged in the cyanobacteria;

[0017] Step 3: Turn on the algae suction pump to suck up the blue-green algae. Rotate the algae suction float door until the algae suction pump is in a smooth algae suction position.

[0018] Step 4: Observe the blue-green algae extraction until the set time. If all the internal devices of the blue-green algae removal device are operating normally, then anchor the blue-green algae removal device in the water.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] The integrated mobile emergency cyanobacteria removal device of this invention has a simple structure, is flexible and convenient, can be placed as a whole, occupies a small area, and can be flexibly deployed in one or more units depending on the situation; the algae suction port is made of plastic material, which can always keep the suction port facing upward; the algae suction port can be adjusted up and down in the vertical direction according to the cyanobacteria situation in the water, and can rotate 360° in the horizontal direction within a certain range, which can effectively cope with the impact of waves while suctioning cyanobacteria; the cyanobacteria removal device only requires one algae suction pump to operate, and can be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as cameras, making it simple to operate and maintain.

[0021] The large support frame of this invention serves as the mounting frame for the cyanobacteria removal device, supporting the device; the algae suction port serves as the suction port for cyanobacteria; the algae suction pump serves as the power unit for cyanobacteria suction; the large float provides sufficient buoyancy for the cyanobacteria removal device; the isolation and protective net serves as the protective device for the cyanobacteria removal device; the float fixing frame serves as the support for installing and fixing the float, and the float fixing block and the PTFE fixing block together serve to fix and adjust the position of the large float.

[0022] The cyanobacteria removal device of this invention is preferably installed downwind. Utilizing the balance between the buoyancy of the water and the weight of the device, it always floats on the water surface. In conjunction with barriers or floating enclosures, it concentrates the cyanobacteria in one area for centralized suction. It can quickly suction the collected cyanobacteria to designated boats or dehydration equipment, resulting in high cyanobacteria collection efficiency and reducing the need for manual collection. When the integrated mobile emergency cyanobacteria removal device is installed at estuaries or other concentrated cyanobacteria collection sites, it can achieve remote cyanobacteria collection.
