Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection mechanical engineering and relates to an intelligent water surface cleaning robot and a working method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The hazards of surface garbage are multifaceted. It not only has a serious impact on the water environment, but also has adverse effects on human health, ecological balance, economic development, etc. Surface garbage may contain various pathogenic microorganisms, which increases the risk of people contacting and contracting diseases. When garbage decomposes in water, it will produce a large amount of acidic and alkaline organic pollutants. At the same time, heavy metals in the garbage will also be dissolved to form organic matter, which seriously pollutes surface water and groundwater; a large amount of floating garbage covers the water surface, blocking sunlight from entering the water, affecting the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and destroying the ecological balance of the water body; the presence of surface garbage seriously affects the landscape effect of the city, and may have an adverse impact on industries such as tourism and fisheries; in addition, people may contract diseases by drinking contaminated water or contacting contaminated water. In summary, the hazards of surface garbage are multifaceted and need to be taken seriously.
[0003] At present, the cleaning of water surface garbage mainly adopts two methods: manual salvage and mechanical salvage.
[0004] Manual salvage is done by cleaning staff using tools such as nets and long bamboo poles. For garbage close to the shore, nets can be used to directly pick it up; for garbage that is far away or difficult to reach, long bamboo poles and other tools are used to assist in salvaging.
[0005] Manual salvage is labor-intensive, has a harsh working environment, and personal safety is not guaranteed. It is also difficult to clean up and has high overall costs.
[0006] Mechanical salvage methods include:
[0007] Fixed salvage platform: Although fixed salvage platforms can operate continuously, they are less flexible and cannot adapt to different water environments and garbage distribution conditions. In addition, if the amount of garbage exceeds the processing capacity of the platform, the salvage efficiency may also decrease.
[0008] Small unmanned cleaning boats: Although unmanned cleaning boats have the advantage of automated operations, their endurance, garbage collection and processing capabilities are relatively limited. In waters with a large amount of garbage, it may be necessary to frequently replace batteries or empty the collection chamber, resulting in interruptions in salvage operations.
[0009] Some salvage devices designed for specific types of garbage (such as aquatic plants, oil pollution, etc.) may not be effective when dealing with other types of garbage, resulting in inefficient salvage operations.
[0010] Manual assisted salvage: Although this method combines the advantages of mechanical salvage and manual salvage, there may be efficiency bottlenecks in the manual assistance process. For example, manual sorting of garbage and cleaning of areas that cannot be salvaged by machinery will consume a lot of time.
[0011] Intermittent patrol salvage method: This method performs salvage operations in the water area by regular patrols. However, due to the limitations of patrol time and frequency, it may not be possible to clean up all the garbage in time, resulting in interruptions in salvage operations.
[0012] Centralized salvage at a fixed point: This method involves centralized salvage operations in areas where garbage is concentrated. However, if the garbage is widely distributed or changes rapidly, this method may not be able to effectively cover all areas, resulting in low salvage efficiency.
[0013] Although mechanical salvage devices have improved efficiency to a certain extent and overcome the problems of manual salvage, such as lack of safety, difficulty in cleaning, and high overall cost, there are still problems of intermittent and low efficiency in garbage salvage.
[0014] In summary, the existing mechanical salvaging devices have problems of discontinuity and low efficiency in garbage salvaging. Summary of the invention

[0093] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0094] Compared with traditional water surface cleaning methods and technologies, the intelligent water surface cleaning robot provided by the present invention realizes a high degree of integration and automation of cleaning operations. This innovative design solves the problems of traditional cleaning tools with single functions, cumbersome operations and low efficiency, and enables the robot to simultaneously complete multiple tasks such as garbage collection, identification and classification, and waste crushing, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of water surface cleaning.
[0095] The conveyor mechanism of the robot adopts a new conveyor belt design, with fine baffles and water holes added, which effectively improves the fit between the garbage and the conveyor belt, and quickly drains the water on the garbage, reducing the burden on the conveyor belt and preventing blockage and corrosion caused by water accumulation. This innovative design ensures the continuity and efficiency of the cleaning operation.
[0096] The intelligent surface cleaning robot has a built-in high-precision identification and classification mechanism that can accurately distinguish recyclable garbage from waste garbage, and send them to the corresponding recycling and waste compartments through the robotic arm. This function not only improves the environmental protection of garbage disposal, but also promotes the recycling of resources and reduces the pressure of landfill and incineration.
[0097] The robot uses a clean energy supply system, including renewable energy such as wind and solar energy, to achieve energy self-sufficiency. This energy supply method not only reduces operating costs, but also reduces carbon emissions, which is in line with the concept of green environmental protection. At the same time, a stable energy supply also ensures that the robot can continue to operate efficiently in all weather conditions.
[0098] The intelligent surface cleaning robot integrates multiple functional modules such as collection, transmission, classification, crushing and energy supply into one, forming a complete operation process. This systematic design enables the robot to systematically complete a series of surface cleaning tasks without manual intervention or frequent equipment replacement, thereby greatly improving the overall effectiveness and operation efficiency. At the same time, it also reduces the labor intensity and safety risks of operators.
[0099] Based on the above structure, the present invention also discloses a working method of an intelligent water surface cleaning robot, see Fig. 9 , including the following steps:
[0100] S1. After the cleaning robot is started, the identification and classification mechanism 4 cooperates with the control system to find floating garbage;
[0101] S2. After the floating garbage is found, the control system controls the navigation drive mechanism 7 to drive the cleaning robot to the area where the floating garbage is located;
[0102] S3. After the cleaning robot arrives at the area where the floating garbage is located, it starts the collection mechanism 2 to collect the garbage. The collected garbage is sent to the waste crushing mechanism 5 through the conveying mechanism 3. During this period, the identification and classification mechanism 4 sends the recyclable garbage to the recycling cabin 101 and the non-crushable garbage to the waste cabin 102. The remaining garbage is crushed by the waste crushing mechanism 5 and then sent to the waste cabin 102, thereby realizing the automation of garbage collection, identification and classification, and waste crushing, and improving the efficiency of garbage salvage.
[0103] S4. The power generation and energy supply mechanism 6 continuously generates electricity and provides electric energy to the collection mechanism 2, the transmission mechanism 3, the identification and classification mechanism 4, the waste crushing mechanism 5, the navigation drive mechanism 7 and the control system, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the robot, improving the garbage recycling efficiency, overcoming the problem of intermittent operation of the existing garbage salvaging device, and improving the efficiency of garbage salvaging.
[0104] That is, the present invention can realize the continuous recovery and salvage of garbage with high operation efficiency.
[0105] Embodiment 4:
[0106] This embodiment discloses a working method of an intelligent water surface cleaning robot, comprising the following steps:
[0107] S1. After the robot is started, it uses its built-in motor to drive the left propeller 104 and the right propeller 107 to autonomously navigate on the water surface. Through the advanced recognition system, the robot can intelligently scan the water surface to find floating garbage, oil and other pollutants. Once the target is found, the robot will immediately plan the optimal cleaning path and go to the garbage concentration area.
[0108] S2. When the robot approaches the garbage, its collection mechanism 2 starts to work. The left motor and the right motor drive the left drainage propeller 202 and the right drainage propeller 201 to rotate respectively, generating water flow to guide the garbage to the collection area. At the same time, the main motor drives the drainage propeller 206 to rotate at a high speed, generating a strong suction force to suck the garbage in. In order to prevent garbage from entering the drainage propeller 206 and causing malfunctions, the robot is also equipped with a drainage cover 205 for protection.
[0109] S3. The collected garbage is then transferred to the new conveyor belt 302, which is driven by a motor and designed with fine baffles and holes to ensure stable transmission of the garbage and reduce moisture burden.
[0110] S4. During the garbage transmission process, the identification and classification mechanism 4 starts to work. The lens 403 and the camera 404 capture the image information of the garbage, and analyze it in real time through the computer to determine the type of garbage. For recyclable garbage, the recycling cabin robot arm 402 will accurately grab it and send it to the recycling cabin 101 for temporary storage; for non-recyclable and non-crushable garbage, the waste cabin robot arm 401 will grab it and send it to the waste cabin 102, and the waste garbage that needs to be crushed will continue to be transferred to the waste crushing mechanism.
[0111] S5. After the waste enters the waste crushing mechanism, it first enters the box 501 through the guide plate 504. Then, the motor drives the upper hammer 502 and the lower hammer 503 to rotate at high speed to squeeze and crush the waste. The volume of the crushed waste is greatly reduced, which is convenient for storage and subsequent processing. Finally, the crushed waste enters the waste compartment 102 through the discharge port for temporary storage.
[0112] S6. When the recycling cabin 101 or the waste cabin 102 recycles to a certain threshold, the robot will return to the designated place to discharge the recyclable garbage and waste garbage, push the hinge through the cylinder and then push the cabin door to open the cabin door, and discharge the garbage. When closing the cabin door, pull the hinge through the cylinder and then pull the cabin door to close the cabin door, and then continue sailing.
[0113] S7. In order to ensure that the robot can work continuously and stably, the present invention adopts a clean energy supply solution. On the one hand, the robot is equipped with three fan blades 601 and a wind volume converter 605, which captures wind energy and converts it into electrical energy for storage or use; on the other hand, the robot is also equipped with six solar panels 602, which collect sunlight and convert solar energy into electrical energy for storage. The combined use of these two clean energy sources provides sufficient energy support for the robot, enabling 24-hour uninterrupted operation.
[0114] The present invention realizes automated and intelligent cleaning operations. It can be used in the following places: lakes, rivers and oceans. The intelligent surface cleaning robot can clean floating garbage, oil and other pollutants in natural waters such as lakes and rivers, protect aquatic ecosystems and improve water quality. For offshore areas, the intelligent surface cleaning robot can also play its role, cleaning plastic garbage, floating algae and the like on the sea surface to reduce marine pollution.
[0115] The above contents are only for explaining the technical idea of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
