When the floating barrel 4 falls to a position where the upper edge of the water blocking piece 5 is lower than the water surface outside, the water inlet gap 1013 is opened, and the water outside and the garbage enter the inside of the inner barrel 3. That is, the opening and closing of the water inlet gap 1013 can be automatically controlled according to the change of the water level in the outer barrel, that is, the water level self-adaptive control function in the barrel is realized, and the garbage self-adaptive collection function is realized.

At the same time, the arrangement of the rotatable sail frame on the sail assembly 8 can also slow down the speed of the water surface garbage collecting robot in moving and rotating, thereby avoiding the problem that the water surface garbage collecting robot moves too fast and the water surface garbage is collected into the inner barrel.

[0078] The working principle of this surface garbage collection robot is as follows: It floats on the water surface using the buoyancy of the raft assembly 6 and the outer bucket 1. The overall buoyancy and balance of the robot are adjusted by the overall counterweight 12, maintaining the upper edge of the water inlet 1013 of the outer bucket 1 at a height comparable to the external water surface. An ultrasonic sensor 13 is used to detect the water level and garbage height inside the inner bucket 3. When the garbage in the inner bucket 3 has not reached its upper limit, and the water level in the upper cavity of the outer bucket 1 is low, the floating bucket 4 is positioned low, and the upper edge of the water-blocking component 5 is lower than the external water surface. The surface garbage and water then enter the inner bucket 3 through the water inlet 1013 of the outer bucket, thus collecting and cleaning the surface garbage.

[0079] The adaptive water level control principle is as follows: Water entering the inner tank 3 enters the second water storage space below the inner tank 3 through the drain hole 301 at the bottom of the inner tank 3. Water in the second water storage space enters the first water storage space outside the inner tank support 2 through the evenly distributed water outlets 201 at the bottom of the inner tank support 2, that is, into the space enclosed by the outer wall of the inner tank support 2 and the inner wall of the outer tank body 101, so that the water on the inner and outer sides of the inner tank support 2 remains connected. The floating tank 4 can float under the buoyancy of the water entering the first water storage space. The floating tank counterweight 14 is used to adjust the overall buoyancy of the floating tank 4. The floating tank 4 floats when the buoyancy of the water on the floating tank 4 and the floating tank counterweight 14 is greater than the overall weight of the floating tank 4 and the floating tank counterweight 14; otherwise, it does not float. The floating height of the floating tank 4 is positively correlated with the water levels in the first and second water storage spaces. When the floating bucket 4 rises under the buoyancy of the water in the first water storage space, it lifts the water-blocking component 5, causing the water-blocking component 5 to rise. When the upper edge of the water-blocking component 5 is higher than the outside water surface, the water inlet opening 1013 is closed, stopping water intake and garbage collection. This achieves adaptive control of the water-blocking component 5 by utilizing the water level in the outer bucket 1, and thus achieves adaptive control of the opening and closing of the water inlet opening 1013.

[0080] The active water level regulation principle is as follows: Water level sensor 15 detects the water level inside the inner tub 3. When the water level in the inner tub 3 reaches the set upper limit, the integrated controller 11 collects the upper limit water level signal collected by water level sensor 15. The water level control module of the integrated controller 11 then controls the water pump 9 to operate, pumping water from inside the outer tub 101 to the outside, thus achieving active regulation of the water levels inside the inner tub 3 and the outer tub 101. The water pump 9, integrated controller 11, and water level sensor 15 are all powered by battery 10. When water level sensor 15 detects that the water level inside the inner tub 3 has reached the set lower limit, the integrated controller 11 controls the water pump 9 to stop operating.

[0081] The ultrasonic sensor 13 can also be used for active adjustment of the water level in the barrel. The principle is as follows: the ultrasonic sensor 13 is used to detect the water level in the inner barrel 3. When the water level in the inner barrel 3 reaches the set upper limit, the integrated controller 11 collects the upper limit water level signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor 13, and the water pump 9 is controlled to run by the water level control module of the integrated controller 11, so as to realize active adjustment of the water level in the inner barrel 3 and the water level in the outer barrel body 101. The water pump 9, the integrated controller 11, and the ultrasonic sensor 13 are all powered by the storage battery 10. When the ultrasonic sensor 13 detects that the water level in the inner barrel 3 reaches the set lower limit, the water pump 9 is controlled to stop running by the integrated controller 11.

[0082] When the water level in the inner barrel 3 continuously exceeds the upper limit, the integrated controller 11 sends a fault salvage signal to the nearby signal monitoring station according to the signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor 13, and the salvage personnel salvage nearby according to the position of the robot.

[0083] When the garbage accumulation in the inner barrel 3 reaches the upper limit, the ultrasonic sensor 13 can detect the accumulation height of the garbage in the inner barrel 3. When the ultrasonic sensor 13 detects that the accumulation height of the garbage in the inner barrel 3 is higher than the set upper limit of the garbage accumulation height, the integrated controller 11 sends a garbage collection full alarm salvage signal to the nearby signal monitoring station according to the signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor 13, and the salvage personnel salvage nearby according to the position of the robot.

[0084] The ultrasonic sensor 13 can use the program of the integrated controller to identify whether the detected object is water or solid garbage according to whether the detected object fluctuates, or can identify whether the detected object is water or solid garbage through cooperation between the ultrasonic sensor 13 and the water level sensor 15.

[0085] When there is wind on the water surface, the sail 801 rotates under the action of wind force, and at the same time drives the robot to move on the water surface with the wind. The water surface garbage also moves under the action of wind force. The direction of movement of the robot and the direction of movement of the water surface garbage tend to be consistent, and the destination also tends to be consistent, so as to realize the function of self-adaptive tracking of the water surface garbage by the robot, and improve the collection efficiency of the water surface garbage. At the same time, if it is a closed water area, the robot will eventually have the opportunity to approach the shore and dock. When there is no wind on the water surface, the robot also tends to be consistent with the docking position of the water surface garbage.

[0086] The advantages of the present application at least include: using solar panel assembly to generate electricity, storing the electricity in the battery, realizing energy self-sufficiency and long endurance. Using the sail assembly, the robot can realize adaptive tracking function of water surface garbage by using wind energy, realizing efficient collection of water surface garbage. Using the floating bucket and the water blocking component cooperation structure, the water in the outer bucket is used to realize the lifting of the floating bucket, realizing the cooperation of the floating bucket and the water blocking component, and then realizing the automatic opening and closing of the water blocking component, that is, lifting, and then controlling the difference between the liquid levels inside and outside the outer bucket, controlling the water inlet, when the water inlet, the water surface garbage also follows the water inlet into the inner bucket, realizing the collection of the water surface garbage, that is, realizing the adaptive control of the water level in the bucket, realizing the adaptive collection of the garbage. Using the ultrasonic sensor, the position of the garbage in the inner bucket can be detected, when the garbage reaches the set height, the integrated controller sends an alarm and salvage signal, and the nearby signal monitoring station captures the signal and salvages. Using the water level sensor, the height of the water level in the inner bucket can be detected, when the detected water level height is higher than the set height, the integrated controller controls the water pump to open; when the detected water level is continuously higher than the set height, the integrated controller sends a fault salvage signal to the outside.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
