Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy utilization and intelligent control, and in particular to a zero-emission intelligent waste treatment device applicable to offshore platforms. Background Technology

[0002] Marine debris refers to persistent, man-made, or processed solid waste in the marine and coastal environment. Marine debris impacts the marine landscape, threatens navigational safety, affects the health of marine ecosystems, causes water pollution, and consequently has a negative impact on the marine economy. Domestic waste discharged from commercial vessels is one source of marine debris. Since ships spend long periods at sea without contact with land, and waste is an unavoidable byproduct of human life, storing it on board, rather than directly discharging it into the ocean, would occupy hull space, potentially disrupting the entire system's operation. Furthermore, domestic waste can lead to bacterial growth and compromise the ship's air quality. Therefore, compressed storage of waste becomes the optimal solution. The concept of compressed storage of waste was proposed long ago and is now widely used in the storage and transportation of domestic waste. However, this technology is generally used in large-scale waste processing equipment such as waste transfer centers and waste transport vehicles, which are bulky and expensive.

[0003] However, waste compression and storage technology is rarely used in small waste bin products, and there is no low-carbon waste compression equipment specifically designed for ships. Therefore, developing a miniaturized and low-carbon marine waste compression bin is of great significance for solving the problem of domestic waste discharge from ships and reducing marine debris discharge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a zero-emission storage device for offshore platforms and ships.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: a waste disposal device applicable to offshore platforms, comprising a waste chamber, wherein a control and detection system, a compression system and a vacuum system are installed within the waste chamber;

[0006] The control and detection system is used to control and adjust the operation of the compression system and the vacuum system, and the control and detection system is connected to several sensors.

[0007] The compression system is used to compress the input waste into blocks; the compression system includes a compression plate, a conveying mechanism, and a motor, the motor drives the transmission mechanism to operate, and the conveying mechanism drives the compression plate to move downward to compress the waste chamber and make the waste in the chamber into blocks;

[0008] The vacuum system is used to extract gas from the specially designed garbage bags and create a vacuum in the bags.

[0009] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the control detection system adopts a single-chip microcomputer controller, which is connected with the vacuum pumping system and the compression system and controls the vacuum pumping system and the compression system through pre-input programs.

[0010] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the conveying mechanism has a set of symmetrically arranged inner walls of the garbage chamber, and comprises a conveying belt and a gear, the gear is driven to rotate by a motor to drive the conveying belt to operate, and the conveying belt drives the compression plate to move upward or downward.

[0011] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the compression plate is of a split type and is arranged on the symmetrically arranged conveying mechanisms respectively; a support rod is arranged below the compression plate, and both ends of the support rod slide on the compression plate and the garbage chamber and are used for splitting or closing the compression plate.

[0012] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the sensor comprises an infrared sensor and a pressure sensor, and a plurality of the above sensors are arranged in the garbage chamber.

[0013] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, a bottom plate is arranged in the garbage chamber, the bottom plate and the compression plate divide the garbage chamber into two spaces, the space between the compression plate and the bottom plate is a temporary storage chamber, and the space between the bottom plate and the bottom of the garbage chamber is a collection chamber, and a special garbage bag is arranged in the collection chamber.

[0014] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, a thermoplastic plate is arranged below the bottom plate, and the thermoplastic plate performs twice thermoplastic sealing on the special garbage bag.

[0015] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the garbage disposal device is also used on a ship.

[0016] As a further preferred scheme of the present application, the garbage disposal device adopts solar energy and wind power as a power source.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The low-carbon garbage compression equipment for offshore platforms and commercial ship living garbage mainly comprises a garbage compression system, a vacuum pumping system and a power generation system, and is specially used for the special mechanism of a commercial ship, fully utilizes the area of the ship body, adopts a wind-solar complementary power generation system to provide electric energy for the equipment, and uses a sensor to detect the garbage capacity in real time, automatically starts the compression device, the air pumping device pumps air, the plastic sealing device seals the compressed garbage, and the garbage bag is replaced, thereby reducing the influence of the living garbage on the environmental sanitation on the ship.

[0019] 2. The equipment studied in this invention can maintain the normal operation of the entire system without the need for an external power source. Calculated at the lowest compression ratio, the garbage room can store three times more garbage, and ships can extend the garbage return process from once a month to once every three months or even longer, while also achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0020] 3. This invention divides the waste chamber into several spaces: a temporary storage compartment for waste, where the waste is compressed by a compression plate; and a collection compartment for specially designed waste bags. The compressed waste blocks are released from the bottom plate and fall into the waste bags in the collection compartment. An external vacuum pump then creates a vacuum, and a thermoplastic plate moves up and down to create a second seal. A cutting device then cuts open the joint between the two seals, creating a vacuum-sealed waste bag and a bottomed, open-top waste bag, which are then placed back into the collection compartment. This process is repeated to create a vacuum storage system for waste. This method is more convenient than traditional methods and can be used on offshore platforms, increasing both storage space and storage time. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Embodiment one:

[0049] A small wind power generation device is arranged on both sides of the bow of the ship, and the collected electric power is stored in the storage battery.

[0050] A solar photovoltaic power generation device is arranged on the upper layer of the ship body, does not occupy space and has high efficiency.

[0051] The storage battery stores excess electric energy for night operation.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , it comprises

[0053] The compression system is used for compressing garbage to save storage space.

[0055] -- sensor system for garbage capacity detection and operation instruction transmission;

[0056] Its overall operation steps are as follows:

[0057] Step one, when the garbage is placed on the compression plate 2 of the garbage chamber, the two compression plates 2 are opened downward due to the influence of the gravity of the garbage, and the two compression plates 2 of the garbage chamber are provided with one-way contraction supporting rods 6, which can ensure that the garbage can fall into the garbage chamber 1 under the action of gravity.

[0072] Example four:

[0073] Parameter and cost analysis:

[0074] The power supply equipment and power consumption equipment of the whole system are mainly solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, air pumps and motors. First, the 400-watt solar photovoltaic panel is the main power source of the compressor, and the remaining part will supply the conveyor belt, sensor, power gear and other small devices. The power of the wind turbine is less than that of the motor, which mainly provides the vacuum pump and drives the gear to rotate. The air pump is a small power machine, and the power of 45 watts is enough to achieve the purpose of vacuumizing, which is conducive to the purification of the internal environment of the garbage can. The motor is the core of the whole compression part, and is the main power source of the compression process and the vacuumizing process.
