Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a self-powered multifunctional device for controlling algae growth and improving water quality, and its usage method, belonging to the field of water conservancy engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] Eutrophication is a global environmental problem, widespread in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and coastal waters. Eutrophication is primarily characterized by an excessive increase in nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in water bodies. These substances typically originate from agricultural runoff, domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and atmospheric deposition. The accumulation of nitrogen and phosphorus provides abundant nutrients for algae and other phytoplankton, leading to their proliferation.

[0003] The excessive proliferation of algae not only alters the color and transparency of water bodies but also has a profound impact on their ecological balance. Excessive algal growth consumes large amounts of oxygen, especially during nighttime respiration, further reducing dissolved oxygen levels. When algae die and decompose, the decomposition process by microorganisms further depletes oxygen in the water, a condition known as "hypoxia due to eutrophication."

[0004] Oxygen-deficient environments pose a serious threat to the survival of aquatic life. Many fish and other aquatic organisms depend on sufficient dissolved oxygen to survive and reproduce. Once dissolved oxygen levels decrease, mass mortality of aquatic life occurs, leading to a decline in biodiversity. This mortality not only disrupts the food chain but can also lead to the accumulation of harmful substances, further deteriorating water quality and creating a vicious cycle.

[0005] Traditional methods for controlling algae growth include various approaches such as chemical, mechanical, and biological methods. However, chemical methods can easily cause side effects on water bodies and ecosystems, and chemical residues may lead to secondary pollution of water bodies, affecting the health of other aquatic organisms; mechanical methods are costly and complex to operate; and while biological methods are environmentally friendly, they are slow to take effect and cannot quickly solve the problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a self-powered multifunctional device for controlling algae growth and agitating water to improve water quality, as well as a method of using it. This device can control the growth of algae and agitate the water to a certain extent, thereby improving the water quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-powered multifunctional device for controlling algae deposition and improving water quality through agitation, comprising: A floating board, wherein floating cylinders are fixedly installed on all four sides of the floating board, and the floating board and the floating cylinders are fixedly set as a whole; A photovoltaic panel, which is fixed above the floating board; A flow booster device, fixed to the floating plate, is driven by electrical energy converted from the photovoltaic panel and is used to pump and transport water. A water pipe system, comprising an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, wherein one end of the inlet pipe is connected to the flow booster and extends to the upper layer of the water surface, and one end of the outlet pipe is connected to the flow booster and can extend to the lower layer of the water body. A rotatable support column is fixed below the floating plate and is driven to rotate by electrical energy converted from the photovoltaic panel.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes: a photovoltaic support system, which is used to fix the photovoltaic panel above the floating board.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes: limiting devices, which are respectively disposed above and below the floating plate, for fixing the flow booster and the rotatable support.

[0010] Furthermore, when not in use, the drain pipe is coiled around the rotatable support, and the rotatable support can drive the drain pipe to rotate to agitate the water.

[0011] Furthermore, in normal operating mode, the flow booster device draws water from the upper layer of the water surface through the inlet pipe and transports the water to the lower layer through the flow booster device and the outlet pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, during the non-algae season when water quality needs to be improved, the drain pipe can be removed from the rotatable support and extended to the lower layer of the water by rotating the rotatable support. The rotation of the rotatable support drives the drain pipe to agitate, thereby enhancing water circulation and oxygen exchange.

[0013] Furthermore, when a pause is needed, the flow booster does not operate, and the drain pipe is neatly coiled around the rotatable support.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a control system, which is used to control the operating mode of the flow booster and the rotatable support according to preset conditions or remote commands.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a monitoring device for monitoring water parameters and transmitting the monitoring data to the control system so that the control system can automatically adjust the operating mode based on the monitoring data.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method of using the self-powered algae control-water stabilization multifunctional device according to any one of the foregoing claims, comprising: Normal operation mode: In normal operation mode, the flow booster is activated, which draws water from the upper layer of the water surface through the inlet pipe and transports the water to the lower layer through the flow booster and the outlet pipe to reduce the temperature of the upper water and inhibit algae growth. Water quality enhancement mode: During the non-algae season and when water quality needs to be improved, the rotatable support column is activated, the drain pipe is removed from the rotatable support column and extended to the lower layer of the water body, and the rotatable support column is driven to rotate, which drives the drain pipe to stir, thereby enhancing the circulation and oxygen exchange of the water body. Pause / Rest Mode: In pause / rest mode, the operation of the flow booster and the rotatable support is stopped, putting the device into standby mode, and the drain pipe is neatly coiled around the rotatable support.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a self-powered, multi-functional device for controlling algae growth and improving water quality, along with its usage method. Utilizing photovoltaic panels for solar power generation reduces reliance on traditional fossil fuels. The multi-functional device efficiently pumps water from the upper layers to the lower layers, lowering the temperature of the upper water layer and effectively inhibiting algae growth, thus preventing eutrophication. During non-algae-producing seasons, the device agitates the water through the outlet of the drain pipe, enhancing water circulation and oxygen exchange, thereby improving water quality. Through these multiple aspects, it inhibits algae growth while simultaneously improving water quality. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces a self-powered algae control and water quality improvement multifunctional device, including: photovoltaic panel 1, photovoltaic support system 2, flow booster 3, floating plate 4, floating cylinder 5, water pipe system, limiting device 7, and rotatable support column 9.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, the floating plate 4 is fixedly installed with the floating cylinders 5 on all four sides. A limiting device 7 is provided above the floating plate 4 to fix the flow boosting device 3 above the floating plate 4, and a limiting device 7 is provided below the floating plate 4 to fix the rotatable support column 9 above the floating plate 4. The flow boosting device 3 is fixed above the floating plate 4 by the limiting device 7 above the floating plate 4. The photovoltaic panel 1 is fixed above the flow boosting device 3 by the photovoltaic support system 2, so that the flow boosting device, photovoltaic panel, floating plate and floating cylinder can float on the water surface as a whole and work together. The photovoltaic panel 1 is located above the water surface and converts sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. The electrical energy drives the flow boosting device in the device to ensure the energy supply and efficient operation of the system. The rotatable support column 9 is fixed below the floating plate 4 by the limiting device 7 below the floating plate 4. The water pipe system includes an inlet pipe 6 and an outlet pipe 8. One end of the inlet pipe 6 is connected to the flow booster device 3, and the other end extends to the upper layer of the water surface to ensure that it can effectively extract water from the surface of the water body; one end of the drain pipe 8 is connected to the flow booster device 3, and the other end extends to the lower layer of the water body to ensure that it can evenly discharge water to the lower layer, and when the drain pipe is not in use, it can be neatly coiled on the rotatable support column 9.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with a preferred embodiment, illustrates the content involved in the above embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the self-powered algae control-water stirring and quality improvement multi-functional device is in a pause and rest mode. When the multi-functional device is in a pause and rest mode, the flow booster 3 does not operate, and the drain pipe 8 at the lower end of its floating plate 4 is neatly coiled on the rotatable support 9.

[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the self-powered algae control and water-stirring multi-functional device is in normal operating mode. When the device is in normal operating mode, by rotating the rotatable support column 9 at the lower end of its floating plate 4, the drain pipe 8 can be removed from the rotatable support column 9 and extended to the lower layer of the water. The photovoltaic panel 1 converts sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, and the electrical energy drives the flow booster device 3 in the device. When the flow booster device 3 starts operating, the inlet pipe 6 extending to the upper layer of the water surface transports the upper layer of water to the lower layer through the flow booster device 3 and the water pipe system, reducing the temperature of the upper layer of water. Algae usually reproduce rapidly at warm water temperatures; by lowering the water temperature, algae growth can be effectively inhibited.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, during the non-algae season and when water quality needs improvement, the drain pipe 8 can be removed from the rotatable support 9 at the lower end of the floating plate 4 and extended to the lower layer of the water by rotating the rotatable support 9. The photovoltaic panel 1 converts sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, and the electrical energy drives the rotatable support 9 in the device. The rotation of the rotatable support 9 drives the rotation of the drain pipe 8. The drain pipe 8 agitates the water, enhancing water circulation and oxygen exchange, which helps improve the overall water quality and reduce the accumulation of sediment and organic matter.

[0029] The device also includes a monitoring device for monitoring water parameters and transmitting the monitoring data to the control system so that the control system can automatically adjust the operating mode based on the monitoring data.

[0030] Example 2: This example provides a method of using the self-powered algae control-water stirring and quality improvement multifunctional device according to any one of Examples 1, including: Normal operation mode: In normal operation mode, the flow booster 3 is activated, which draws water from the upper layer of the water surface through the inlet pipe 6 and transports the water to the lower layer through the flow booster 3 and the outlet pipe 8 to reduce the temperature of the upper water and inhibit algae growth. Water quality improvement mode: When it is not the algae season and water quality needs to be improved, the rotatable support column 9 is activated, the drain pipe 8 is removed from the rotatable support column 9 and extended to the lower layer of the water body, and the rotatable support column 9 is driven to rotate, which drives the drain pipe 8 to stir, so as to enhance the circulation and oxygen exchange of the water body. Pause / Rest Mode: In pause / rest mode, the operation of the flow booster 3 and the rotatable support 9 is stopped, and the device is put into standby mode. The drain pipe 8 is neatly coiled around the rotatable support 9.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
