Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an extendable structural device and method for promoting water mixing and lower layer algae removal, belonging to the technical field of ecological purification. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, eutrophication of water bodies has become a serious environmental problem faced by China, especially in static water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs. With the rapid economic development and the intensification of agricultural production, a large amount of nutrients containing nitrogen and phosphorus enter the water bodies through agricultural runoff, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, leading to the overgrowth of algae and other aquatic plants and the formation of algal blooms. Eutrophication not only affects the ecological balance of water bodies, but also threatens the safety of drinking water. In severe cases, it can lead to large-scale fish deaths and damage fishery resources.

[0003] In order to reduce the harm caused by eutrophication of water bodies and maintain the healthy and sustainable development of the water ecological environment, a large amount of research has been carried out in China and a variety of algae reduction technologies have been adopted. At present, the algae reduction technology mainly uses physical, chemical or biological means to control or reduce the number of algae in the water body. The physical method improves the water condition by mechanically salvaging algae and aeration; the chemical method uses flocculants and algaecides to control the growth of algae; the biological method naturally inhibits algae by introducing filter-feeding fish and repairing wetland ecosystems. At present, there are still shortcomings in the above methods. The existing physical technology still requires a lot of manpower and material resources and is costly. Chemical technology will cause secondary pollution to the environment. Biological technology may destroy the original ecological structure and the effect is slow. Summary of the invention

A battery 4 and a solar panel 2 are arranged inside the hull 1. The solar panel 2 is fixed on the top of the battery 4 through a bracket 3. The solar panel 2 converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect and stores it in the battery 4; the control system 8 is arranged at the bottom of the hull 1 to control the operation of the entire device; the folding rod 9 and the rolling curtain device 10 are both installed at the bottom of the hull 1, the lower part of the folding rod 9 is connected to the rolling curtain device 10, and a weight-increasing material is arranged at the bottom of the rolling curtain plate. The rolling shutter device 10 is in a folded state when not in operation. When the control system 8 is activated, the rolling shutter device 10 unfolds the rolling shutter plate to the bottom of the lake reservoir, and extends the rolling shutter plate to both sides through the extension and unfolding of the folding rod 9; the folding baffle 12 is installed on both sides of the hull 1. When the control system 8 is activated, the folding baffle 12 is unfolded and connected to the folding rod 9 to form a retaining wall, which together with the unfolded rolling shutter plate promotes the mixing of water and the sinking of algae; the rotating shaft device 5 is located at the stern of the hull 1, and the rotating shaft device 5 is connected to the anchor 7 by a rope 6; a waterproof shell 11 is provided at the bottom of the hull 1, and the control system 8, folding rod 9 and rolling shutter device 10 are all installed inside the waterproof shell 11.
