Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to an intelligent wastewater treatment robot and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Organic compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and lignin contained in domestic sewage and some industrial wastewater can be decomposed into simple inorganic substances by microorganisms. These organic substances require a large amount of oxygen during decomposition and are therefore called aerobic pollutants. In addition, some reducing inorganic substances in water also consume oxygen, such as NH3H2S and sulfites. These pollutants, once they enter water bodies, consume large amounts of dissolved oxygen, even causing mass mortality of aquatic animals. In severe cases, dissolved oxygen can drop to zero, leading to increased activity of anaerobic bacteria in the water. The decomposition of organic matter produces ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, causing the water to turn black and smelly, forcing the cessation of the material cycle and almost completely eliminating the water body's self-purification function.

[0003] Currently, there are physical, chemical, and biological methods for wastewater treatment. Among them, chemical wastewater treatment involves adding chemical agents to the wastewater and using chemical reactions or physicochemical effects to purify it. Usually, chemical agents are added to the wastewater manually by boat, but this not only consumes a lot of labor and has low efficiency, but also poses certain dangers.

[0004] To address this issue, some wastewater treatment robots have emerged on the market. These robots are industrial devices that can effectively treat urban domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, preventing sewage and pollutants from flowing directly into water bodies. They are of great significance for improving the ecological environment, enhancing the city's image, and promoting economic development. Their main purpose is to treat domestic sewage and similar industrial organic wastewater to meet the requirements for reuse, enabling the wastewater to be recycled.

[0005] For example, patent number CN201610463818.6 discloses an intelligent robot for lake sewage purification and treatment. The robot includes a land walking device, a water walking device, a lifting device, a hybrid mechanism, and a feeding device, enabling it to have the functions of land walking, water walking, orientation and angle adjustment, and feeding. In the process of sewage treatment and purification, it can realize the function of automatic feeding of sewage purification, and has a high degree of intelligence, convenient and flexible orientation and angle adjustment, fast feeding speed and long distance. It solves the problems of large workload, high danger and low efficiency of existing manual feeding by boat, and effectively protects water resources.

[0006] However, the robot has the following problems: 1. The water walking device is not easy to adjust in angle, which makes it easy to collide with obstacles when walking on land, thus affecting its movement; 2. The feeding device throws materials by compressing springs, resulting in a small throwing range and short distance, making it impossible for chemical drugs to effectively treat sewage; 3. The feeding device uses the tilting downward movement of the feeding bucket to obtain chemical drugs, resulting in uneven material collection or insufficient material collection; 4. The material in the middle of the storage cylinder is not easy to transfer to the working range of the bucket, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an intelligent wastewater treatment testing robot and its usage method.
