Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of water rescue and waste cleaning technology, and in particular to an integrated robot for water waste collection and rescue. Background Technology

[0002] Drowning accidents frequently occur when people are playing at the beach or in lakes, and occasional maritime disasters also lead to drownings of people on board. Typical rescues require rescuers to quickly locate the drowning victim and accurately throw a lifebuoy. However, this method is often untimely and inefficient, frequently resulting in the victim dying without receiving effective help within a short period. Furthermore, many rescuers who enter the water for rescues, due to incorrect rescue techniques or adverse environmental conditions, not only fail to complete the rescue but also drown themselves.

[0003] Furthermore, with the rapid economic growth of coastal areas, addressing marine ecological issues has become an urgent priority. Traditional manual methods of garbage collection are insufficient to clean up large areas of marine debris in a short period of time, and are also time-consuming and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an integrated robot for waterborne garbage collection and rescue, including an internally inflatable airbag 1, a power unit, an inflatable lifebuoy 13, and a garbage collection device. The garbage collection device is connected to the center of the internally inflatable airbag 1. When in operation, the internally inflatable airbag 1 is driven by the power unit and autonomously identifies and collects garbage on the sea or lake surface. The inflatable lifebuoy 13 is connected to the outer surface of the internally inflatable airbag 1 via a hinge 17. When not in operation, the inflatable lifebuoy 13 is attached to the lower surface of the internally inflatable airbag 1 using Velcro. When in operation, the inflatable lifebuoy 13 is inflated by the internally inflatable airbag 1, causing it to float and function as a lifebuoy. Preferably, the inflatable lifebuoy 13 is U-shaped. Using the U-shaped inflatable lifebuoy 13 to propel a person into the water avoids the person being unable to hold onto the lifebuoy due to exhaustion, greatly improving the success rate of the rescue.

[0032] The power unit includes a rotatable sphere 2 and a steering servo 6. A dual-suction pump 22 is installed inside the rotatable sphere 2. This pump has two suction ports and one outlet. When the dual-suction pump 22 is working, it utilizes the pressure difference to draw water from the suction ports and spray it out from the outlet, thus providing forward propulsion for the entire device. The rear of the rotatable sphere 2 has a double-layered groove 21, which engages with a pin. The pin is interference-fitted with a crank 5, which is driven to rotate by the steering servo 6, which is mounted on the upper surface of the inner shell of the inflatable airbag 1. Driven by the steering servo 6, the rotatable sphere 2 rotates on a fixed axis. The four rotatable spheres 2 work together, and by adjusting the angle of the water spray from the four dual-suction pumps 22, omnidirectional movement can be achieved, enabling efficient steering without the need for turning.

[0033] The outer surface of the internally inflatable airbag 1 has four semi-circular grooves for connecting four rotatable spheres 2. The outer surface of the internally inflatable airbag 1 is equipped with a set of lighting lamps 12 and four protective shells 3 for the spheres. The rotatable spheres 2 are connected to the upper and lower inner surfaces of the protective shells 3 via fixed shafts 4. The lighting lamps 12 are used for nighttime and harsh rescue environments. The surface of the protective shells 3 is encapsulated with a micro-filter to prevent small debris from entering the dual-suction pump 22. The outer surface of the protective shells 3 is equipped with several solar panels 19, several sound sensors 20, and several fisheye cameras 18. Two handles are connected between the four protective shells 3. The solar panels 19 can convert solar energy into electrical energy required for the device to operate. It is clean, environmentally friendly, and recyclable.

[0034] The garbage collection device includes an outer bucket 10, an inner bucket 9, a lid 8 with an attached suction hose 7, a water pump 15, and a protective shell 16. The inner bucket 9 is installed at the center of the outer bucket 10. The outer bucket 10 is screwed to the lid 8. The water pump 15 is installed at the bottom of the outer bucket 10 and is housed inside the protective shell 16. The bottom surface of the protective shell 16 has a through hole for water discharge from the water pump 15. The protective shell 16 is installed on the bottom surface of the outer bucket 10 and is connected to both the outer bucket 10 and the inner bucket 9. Four electromagnets 11 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the outer bucket 10, connecting the entire garbage collection device to the internal inflatable airbag 1 via magnetic attraction. When in operation, the internal inflatable airbag 1 is connected to the garbage collection device via the electromagnets 11; when not in operation, the garbage collection device can be detached for garbage removal. The bottom of the inner tank 9 is hollowed out and equipped with a filter screen 14 to prevent tiny debris from flowing into the water pump 15 at the bottom and causing malfunction. In addition, it can effectively remove particulate impurities, colloidal impurities and other impurities from the water.

[0035] When in operation, the water pump 15 starts, and the pressure difference created by the suction and discharge of water makes the external air pressure greater than the internal air pressure, so that marine debris on the water surface enters the inner bucket 9 of the garbage collection device through the absorbent hose 7.

[0036] The garbage collection device uses a water pump 15 to forcefully suck out the air and water from the inner bin 9, creating a significant pressure difference between the inside and outside of the inner bin 9. Two suction hoses 7 then absorb the floating garbage. The water inside the inner bin 9 is sucked out by the water pump, and the bin lid 8 prevents the garbage from floating out, ensuring the garbage remains securely within the inner bin 9. This eliminates the need for the device to maintain its movement or for water flow to prevent garbage from overflowing.

[0037] The inner tank 9 contains a filter structure consisting of a filter screen layer, a quartz sand layer, an activated carbon layer, and a bio-cotton layer. Besides filtering out fine debris, it effectively adsorbs oil and bacteria from the water, thus purifying it. It purifies wastewater while collecting debris.

[0038] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the solar panel 19 utilizes natural energy to achieve green power generation; the outer surface of the inner ring of the inflatable airbag 1 inside the outer shell is magnetized and demagnetized by switching the power supply on and off; four electromagnets 11 are installed on the outer wall surface of the garbage collection device; the outer bucket 10 is magnetically connected to the inflatable airbag 1 inside the outer shell; when the fisheye camera 18 and the sound sensor 20 detect certain commands, such as the cries for help from a drowning person or the struggling movements of a drowning person in the water, the garbage being cleaned on the water is activated. The machine quickly inflates the inflatable lifebuoy 13. After inflation, the inflatable lifebuoy 13 flips outward and floats upward due to buoyancy. The above actions can be completed in a very short time. At the same time, the inflatable airbag 1 inside the shell is driven by the double suction pump 22 in the rotatable sphere and autonomously identifies and moves to the side of the person who has fallen into the water. The inflatable lifebuoy 13 connected to its outer surface lifts the person who has fallen into the water, so that the person can lie on the inflatable lifebuoy 13. The inflatable airbag 1 inside the shell is then driven by the double suction pump 22 to push the person who has fallen into the water to the shore.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
