Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of aquatic invasive plant removal equipment, specifically relating to an invasive plant removal device and treatment method. Background Technology

[0002] Invasive plants pose various harms. For example, they often have strong ecological adaptability and reproductive capacity, which can disrupt the ecological balance. Furthermore, they can lead to a reduction in native species, thereby decreasing biodiversity.

[0003] Invasive plants can be categorized into aquatic and terrestrial types. Common aquatic invasive plants include water hyacinth and water lettuce. Taking water hyacinth removal as an example, the current method involves using a salvage boat. This involves manually navigating the boat into the water, scooping the water hyacinth onto the boat using a net, and then bringing the boat ashore to transfer the water hyacinth to land. The disadvantages of this method are twofold: firstly, manual salvage is inefficient; secondly, the salvage boat has a limited capacity, and once it is full, it needs to be moved ashore and returned to the water for further removal, further reducing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an invasive plant removal device and treatment method, which can improve the removal efficiency of aquatic invasive plants.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: In one aspect, embodiments of this application provide an invasive plant removal device, including a hull, a receiving component, a feeding component, and a squeezing component. The receiving component includes a distributing channel and a receiving part. The distributing channel is disposed on the hull. The receiving part includes a first net and a second net. Sleeves are respectively provided at the inlets of the first and second nets. The second net has an outlet, which communicates with the inlet of the first net. The distributing channel is inserted into the first net via the inlet of the second net, and the sleeves are fitted around the periphery of the distributing channel. The feeding component is used to feed plants into the distributing channel. The squeezing component is used to squeeze the plants in the distributing channel so that the plants enter the receiving part.

[0006] In some embodiments, two dispensing channels and receiving components are provided, and the extrusion assembly includes a connecting channel and an impacting part. The two ends of the connecting channel are connected to the two dispensing channels, and the connecting channel is provided with a feed inlet. The impacting part is rotatably connected inside the connecting channel, and the rotation axis of the impacting part is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting channel. The impacting part is used to deliver the plant to both ends of the connecting channel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the extrusion assembly further includes two drive wheels rotatably connected to the communication channel. The drive wheels are provided with protrusions, which are configured to actuate the striking part when the drive wheels rotate. The two drive wheels rotate in opposite directions, and the protrusions of the two drive wheels are misaligned.

[0008] In some embodiments, a recess is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve around the circumference of the sleeve body, and the sleeve body is also provided with a through hole that penetrates the peripheral wall of the sleeve body radially. A first mesh body is provided with a first elastic rope, and a second mesh body is provided with a second elastic rope. The first elastic rope passes through the through hole of the sleeve body of the first mesh body and is connected to the peripheral wall of the first mesh body. The second elastic rope passes through the through hole of the sleeve body of the second mesh body and is connected to the peripheral wall of the second mesh body.

[0009] In some embodiments, the recess is provided with a plurality of elastic combination cables, and the first elastic rope and the second elastic rope are connected to the corresponding elastic combination cables.

[0010] In some embodiments, the through hole includes a first end and a second end. A first elastic rope is fixedly connected to the first end. The first elastic rope is fitted with a plurality of limiting sleeves. The plurality of limiting sleeves are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first elastic rope. An insertion hole is provided on the side of the sleeve body near the first end. The axial direction of the insertion hole is parallel to the axial direction of the through hole. The first elastic rope is provided with a limiting part. The limiting part is provided on the side of the plurality of limiting sleeves away from the first end. When the plurality of limiting sleeves are configured such that when the first elastic rope is taut, the limiting sleeve closest to the insertion hole is inserted into the insertion hole. Between two adjacent limiting sleeves, the limiting sleeve away from the first end is inserted into the limiting sleeve close to the first end.

[0011] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting sleeve is provided with a cutting portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly includes a support, a plurality of pulleys, and a conveyor belt. The support is rotatably connected to the hull, the plurality of pulleys are rotatably connected to the support, and the conveyor belt is wound around the outer peripheral wall of the plurality of pulleys.

[0013] In some embodiments, the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with protrusions.

[0014] On the other hand, this application provides another method for removing invasive plants, applied to the invasive plant removal device in the above embodiments, including:

[0015] S1, the plant is fed into the dispensing channel through the feeding component;

[0016] S2, the extrusion component extrudes the plants in the distribution channel, causing the plants to move towards the outlet end of the distribution channel. The plants gradually fill the first and second net bodies, and cause the first and second net bodies to fall off from the distribution channel.

[0017] S3, connect the second net body to the hull.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The first and second nets can form a strip structure. This design has two advantages: First, under the influence of invasive plants, both nets can float on the water surface, eliminating the need to place the invasive plants on a boat as in traditional methods, thus reducing the number of times the plants need to be transported and improving cleaning efficiency. Second, the first and second nets can form a sequentially connected long strip structure, reducing the resistance when the boat moves.

[0020] 2. The sleeves are fitted onto the material distribution channel. On one hand, this allows the mesh between the two sleeves to be folded, increasing the overall length of the mesh that can be fitted onto the material distribution channel. On the other hand, the friction between the sleeves and the material distribution channel ensures that the mesh is fully filled. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0036] On one hand, this application provides an invasive plant removal device, including a hull 1, a receiving component 2, a feeding component 3, and a squeezing component. The receiving component 2 includes a distributing channel 21 and a receiving part. The distributing channel 21 is disposed on the hull 1. The receiving part includes a first net body 23 and a second net body 24. Sleeves 22 are respectively provided at the inlets of the first net body 23 and the second net body 24. The second net body 24 has an outlet, which communicates with the inlet of the first net body 23. The distributing channel 21 is inserted into the first net body 23 via the inlet of the second net body 24. The sleeves 22 are fitted around the periphery of the distributing channel. The feeding component 3 is used to feed plants into the distributing channel 21. The squeezing component is used to squeeze the plants in the distributing channel 21 so that the plants enter the receiving part.

[0037] Hull 1 can be selected from the existing hull types, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] The invasive plant removal device of this application embodiment is suitable for removing aquatic invasive plants floating on the water surface.

[0039] The feeding channel 21 is used to transport plants, so that the plants can be fed into the first net body 23 and the second net body 24.

[0040] The extrusion assembly can apply pressure to the plants in the distribution channel 21 from the inlet side, so that the plants can be discharged from the outlet of the distribution channel 21.

[0041] The sleeve 22 is fitted onto the distribution channel 21. On one hand, this allows the netting between the two sleeves 22 to be folded, increasing the overall length of the netting that can be fitted onto the distribution channel 21. On the other hand, the friction between the sleeve 22 and the distribution channel 21 ensures that the netting is fully filled. Specifically, since the distribution channel 21 is inserted into the netting, when plants are filled into the netting, the plants first enter the first netting 23. Under the friction between the sleeve 22 and the distribution channel 21, and the friction between the netting and the distribution channel 21, the first netting 23 is difficult to detach from the distribution channel 21. As plants fill the first netting 23, it gradually detaches from the distribution channel 21, and the detached portion is filled by plants until the first netting 23 is completely detached. Then, the second netting 24 is filled. Similarly, under the action of the sleeve 22, the second netting 24 can also be fully filled.

[0042] To increase the friction between the sleeve 22 and the material distribution channel 21, the sleeve 22 may be provided with a friction layer.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first mesh body 23 and the second mesh body 24 can be integrated, with a sleeve 22 provided inside the mesh body to separate the first mesh body 23 and the second mesh body 24. Alternatively, the first mesh body 23 and the second mesh body 24 can be separate mesh bodies, in which case multiple second mesh bodies 24 can be provided as needed, with the entrance of one of the adjacent second mesh bodies 24 connected to the exit of the other.

[0044] The outlet of the second net body 24 is connected to the inlet of the first net body 23, allowing the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 to form a strip structure. This arrangement has two advantages: firstly, under the influence of invasive plants, the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 can float on the water surface, eliminating the need to place the invasive plants on a boat as in traditional cleanup methods, thus reducing the number of times the invasive plants need to be transported and improving cleanup efficiency. Secondly, the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 can form a sequentially connected long strip structure, reducing the resistance when the boat 1 moves.

[0045] The use of the feeding component 3 to replace manual retrieval further improves cleaning efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments, two dispensing channels 21 and receiving components are provided, and the extrusion assembly includes a connecting channel 27 and an impacting part 43. The two ends of the connecting channel 27 are connected to the two dispensing channels 21, and the connecting channel 27 is provided with a feed inlet. The impacting part 43 is rotatably connected inside the connecting channel 27, and the rotation axis of the impacting part 43 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting channel 27. The impacting part 43 is used to deliver the plant to both ends of the connecting channel 27.

[0047] The feed inlet of the connecting channel 27 is used to feed plants into the connecting channel 27.

[0048] The connecting channel 27 can be an arc-shaped channel, and the striking part 43 can swing back and forth along the arc of the connecting channel 27, so that the plants in the connecting channel 27 can be pushed to both ends of the connecting channel 27 and then enter the dispensing channel 21.

[0049] The rotation axis of the striking part 43 can be reasonably set according to the shape of the connecting channel 27, ensuring that the plant can be pushed to the port of the connecting channel 27.

[0050] The material distribution channel 21 is configured as two, so that as the striking part 43 rotates, plants can be fed into the two material distribution channels 21 respectively, thereby filling the two receiving parts at the same time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0051] In some embodiments, the extrusion assembly further includes two drive wheels 41, which are rotatably connected to the communication channel 27. Each drive wheel 41 is provided with a protrusion 42, which is configured to actuate the striking part 43 when the drive wheel 41 rotates. The two drive wheels 41 rotate in opposite directions, and the protrusions 42 of the two drive wheels 41 are misaligned.

[0052] The drive structure of drive wheel 41 can be selected from existing structures.

[0053] When the drive wheel 41 rotates, the protrusion 42 of the drive wheel 41 can contact the striking part 43, so that the striking part 43 can rotate under the action of the protrusion 42.

[0054] Because there are two drive wheels 41, the striking part 43 can swing back and forth, allowing the plants in the connecting channel 27 to be fed into the two distributing channels 21 respectively. Specifically, the protrusions 42 of the two drive wheels 41 are staggered. When the protrusion 42 of one drive wheel 41 drives the striking part 43 to move and eventually no longer contacts the striking part 43, the protrusion 42 of the other drive wheel 41 can then contact the striking part 43, allowing the striking part 43 to move in the opposite direction.

[0055] The advantage of having two drive wheels 41 is that each drive wheel 41 can rotate in one direction without having to rotate back and forth, which reduces the difficulty of controlling the drive wheels 41.

[0056] The striking part 43 may be provided with a mating part 44 corresponding to the two drive wheels 41. The protrusion 42 applies force to the mating part 44 to drive the striking part 43 to rotate.

[0057] In some embodiments, a recess 213 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve 22 around the circumference of the sleeve 22. The sleeve 22 is also provided with a through hole 212, which penetrates the peripheral wall of the sleeve 22 radially. A first mesh body 23 is provided with a first elastic rope 25, and a second mesh body 24 is provided with a second elastic rope 26. The first elastic rope 25 passes through the through hole 212 of the sleeve 22 of the first mesh body 23 and is connected to the peripheral wall of the first mesh body 23. The second elastic rope 26 passes through the through hole 212 of the sleeve 22 of the second mesh body 24 and is connected to the peripheral wall of the second mesh body 24.

[0058] The recessed portion 213 makes the sleeve 22 form a hollow structure inside.

[0059] It should be noted that the through hole 212 is a structure consisting of two segments that penetrate the entire sleeve 22 radially, rather than a structure that only penetrates one side of the sleeve 22.

[0060] Since the first net body 23 may not have an outlet, i.e., the first net body 23 has a bottom wall, the first elastic rope 25 can be a ring structure. That is, after the first elastic rope 25 passes through the through hole 212, it is partially laid on the periphery wall of the first net body 23 and partially laid on the bottom wall.

[0061] At the second net body 24, after the second elastic rope 26 passes through the sleeve body 22, the two ends of the second elastic rope 26 are respectively connected to the outlet side of the second net body 24. For example, the second elastic rope 26 can be connected to the sleeve body 22 of the first net body 23.

[0062] The first elastic cord 25 can increase the structural strength of the first net body 23, that is, when plants are filled into the first net body 23, the first elastic cord 25 can prevent the first net body 23 from expanding excessively and being damaged. Similarly, the second net body 24 can also increase the structural strength of the second net body 24.

[0063] Furthermore, the first elastic rope 25 can increase the friction between the sleeve 22 of the first net body 23 and the distribution channel 21. With the distribution channel 21 vertically oriented, when the first net body 23 is filled with plants, its weight increases with the amount of plants, making it easier for the first net body 23 to detach from the distribution channel 21. When the sleeve 22 is fitted onto the distribution channel 21, the portion of the first elastic rope 25 inside the sleeve 22 is bent and abuts against the side wall of the distribution channel 21. As the amount of plants in the first net body 23 increases, the stretching length of the first elastic rope 25 also increases, increasing the pressure of the first elastic rope 25 on the side wall of the distribution channel 21, thereby increasing the friction between the sleeve 22 and the distribution channel 21.

[0064] Similarly, when filling the second mesh 24, the second elastic rope 26 can also increase the friction between the sleeve 22 of the second mesh 24 and the material distribution channel 21.

[0065] Furthermore, the first elastic rope 25 can serve a separating function. When the sleeve 22 of the first net body 23 detaches from the distribution channel 21, the first elastic rope 25 returns to its original position and is taut. At this time, the first elastic rope 25 can block the plants in the first net body 23, preventing the plants from becoming fluffy under the action of buoyancy when the first net body 23 is placed in water, thus preventing them from flowing back into the second net body 24. Similarly, the second elastic rope 26 can also serve a separating function.

[0066] In some embodiments, the recess 213 is provided with a plurality of elastic combination cables 28, and the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26 are connected to the corresponding elastic combination cable 28.

[0067] Taking the first elastic rope 25 as an example, when the first elastic rope 25 is taut, it can stretch the elastic combination cable 28. The first elastic rope 25 and the elastic combination cable 28 work together to increase the blocking area for plants and further reduce the risk of plants flowing back into the second net body 24.

[0068] In some embodiments, the through hole 212 includes a first end and a second end. A first elastic rope 25 is fixedly connected to the first end. The first elastic rope 25 is fitted with a plurality of limiting sleeves 210. The plurality of limiting sleeves 210 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first elastic rope 25. A socket 211 is provided on the side of the sleeve body 22 near the first end. The axial direction of the socket 211 is parallel to the axial direction of the through hole 212. The first elastic rope 25 is provided with a limiting part 29. The limiting part 29 is provided on the side of the plurality of limiting sleeves 210 away from the first end. When the plurality of limiting sleeves 210 are configured such that when the first elastic rope 25 is taut, the limiting sleeve 210 closest to the socket 211 is inserted into the socket 211. Between two adjacent limiting sleeves 210, the limiting sleeve 210 away from the first end is inserted into the limiting sleeve 210 closest to the first end.

[0069] The first elastic cord 25 is fixedly connected to the first end, meaning that the first elastic cord 25 will not move relative to the first end when stretched.

[0070] When the sleeve 22 is fitted onto the material distribution channel 21, the first elastic rope 25 is in a bent state. At this time, the two adjacent limiting sleeves 210 are separated, and the limiting sleeve 210 near the insertion hole 211 comes out of the insertion hole 211, so that the first elastic rope 25 can be bent.

[0071] When the sleeve 22 detaches from the distribution channel 21, the first elastic rope 25 tauts. Simultaneously, the first elastic rope 25 tends to return to its original position towards the first end. At this time, under the action of the limiting part 29, multiple limiting sleeves 210 are pushed towards the first end. The limiting sleeve 210 closest to the insertion hole 211 is inserted into the insertion hole 211, and adjacent limiting sleeves 210 are in the inserted state. At this time, the multiple limiting sleeves 210 can form a rigid structure extending radially along the sleeve 22. On the one hand, the multiple limiting sleeves 210 can increase the blocking effect on the plants in the first net body 23. On the other hand, the multiple limiting sleeves 210 can limit the deformation of the first elastic rope 25, further improving the blocking effect on the plants in the first net body 23.

[0072] The insertion length and insertion structure between multiple limiting sleeves 210, the insertion structure and insertion length between the limiting sleeves 210 and the insertion hole 211 can be selected from the existing structures, as long as they can ensure that when the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26 are taut and float within a certain range, the limiting sleeves 210 and the insertion hole 211, and the adjacent limiting sleeves 210 will not fall off.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, the structure of the second elastic rope 26 can be the same as that of the first elastic rope 25. That is, the second sleeve 22 may include a second end, the second elastic rope 26 is fixedly connected to the second end, the second sleeve 22 is also provided with an insertion hole 211, and the second elastic rope 26 is provided with a plurality of limiting sleeves 210 and limiting parts 29. The specific setting method is the same as that of the first elastic rope 25.

[0074] In order to avoid the elastic composite cable 28, the limiting sleeve 210 may be provided with a notch along the axial direction of the limiting sleeve 210.

[0075] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting sleeve 210 is provided with a cutting portion 214.

[0076] Although the plants are relatively fluffy when the limiting sleeve 210 falls off from the dispensing channel 21, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26 can cut the plants, allowing the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26 to straighten. However, there is still a certain probability that the plants will prevent the first elastic rope 25 or the second elastic rope 26 from resetting.

[0077] The cutting part 214 can be a blade-shaped structure provided on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting sleeve 210. Multiple cutting parts 214 can be provided around the circumference of the limiting sleeve 210.

[0078] By providing a cutting part 214 in the limiting sleeve 210, the plant can be cut off by the cutting part 214 when the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26 are taut, reducing the risk of the plant obstructing the tautness of the first elastic rope 25 and the second elastic rope 26.

[0079] Furthermore, when the first elastic cord 25 and the second elastic cord 26 are taut, while the first elastic cord 25 and the second elastic cord 26 move toward the center of the sleeve 22, the first elastic cord 25 and the second elastic cord 26 have a tendency to move toward the first end and the second end respectively, which increases the cutting effect on the plant.

[0080] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 3 includes a support 31, a plurality of pulleys 32, and a conveyor belt 33. The support 31 is rotatably connected to the hull 1, the plurality of pulleys 32 are rotatably connected to the support 31, and the conveyor belt 33 is wound around the outer peripheral wall of the plurality of pulleys 32.

[0081] The drive structure of pulley 32 can be selected from existing structures.

[0082] The support 31 is rotatably connected to the hull 1, allowing the angle of the conveyor belt 33 to be adjusted.

[0083] As the conveyor belt 33 moves, the plants can be gradually lifted and fall into the feed inlet of the connecting channel 27.

[0084] In some embodiments, the surface of the conveyor belt 33 is provided with protrusions 34.

[0085] The spikes 34 on the conveyor belt 33 can reduce the risk of plants rolling on the conveyor belt 33 when the conveyor belt 33 lifts plants.

[0086] On the other hand, this application provides another method for removing invasive plants, applied to the invasive plant removal device in the above embodiments, including:

[0087] S1, the plant is fed into the feeding channel 21 through the feeding component 3.

[0088] In embodiments where the feeding assembly 3 includes a conveyor belt 33, the conveyor belt 33 is tilted by controlling the rotation of the support 31. Subsequently, the hull 1 moves, allowing the plants to be scooped onto the conveyor belt 33, which then lifts the plants. The plants fall from the end of the conveyor belt 33 into the connecting channel 27, and then into the distributing channel 21.

[0089] S2, the extrusion assembly extrudes the plants in the distribution channel 21, causing the plants to move toward the outlet end of the distribution channel 21. The plants gradually fill the first net body 23 and the second net body 24, and cause the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 to fall off from the distribution channel 21.

[0090] S3, connect the second net body 24 to the hull 1.

[0091] The second net body 24 may be equipped with hooks so that the second net body 24 can be suspended from the hull 1.

[0092] After the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 are filled with plants, they are placed in water. Due to the buoyancy of the aquatic plants, the first net body 23 and the second net body 24 can float. The second net body 24 is then connected to the hull 1. Compared to traditional cleaning methods, this reduces the number of times plants need to be transported, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0093] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, alterations, alterations, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
