Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of algae cleaning equipment, and in particular, to a water surface algae cleaner. Background Art

[0002] Algae removal equipment is a mechanical device specifically designed to collect and remove algae from water bodies. It is widely used in the environmental management of lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other aquatic bodies. Using mechanical transmission, water flow, or negative pressure adsorption, it gathers and harvests algae floating on the water surface and transfers them to a storage device, preventing excessive algae growth that can lead to eutrophication and water quality deterioration. The equipment typically includes an algae collection mechanism, a transport mechanism, and a storage container, and is a crucial tool for the protection and restoration of modern aquatic ecosystems.

[0003] When collecting algae, existing surface algae cleaning equipment is easier to clean algae or debris on the water surface, but algae below the water surface, especially algae that grows in a network structure, are more difficult to clean using existing algae cleaning equipment. During the cleaning process, such algae cause pulling and tearing, resulting in a large amount of algae that cannot be completely cleaned and collected, ultimately leading to incomplete algae cleaning, and a large amount of broken algae remaining in the water, affecting the management effect of the water ecological environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.

[0041] To simplify the drawings, only portions relevant to the invention are schematically depicted in each figure; they do not represent the actual structure of the product.

Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0045] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it shows a water surface algae cleaner in one embodiment of the present invention. By setting a water surface walking body 100, it can move flexibly on the water surface to reach the algae growth area. One end of the inclined circulating collection conveyor belt 300 extends below the water surface to provide a collection channel for algae. The screw collecting part 400 can move parallel to the conveying direction of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, and can also rotate. By utilizing the characteristic that its rotating axis is parallel to the moving direction, the algae can be screwed like a towel, pulled up from below the water surface and pulled to the conveyor belt, effectively solving the problem of pulling and tearing the algae, achieving complete collection, and thus improving the ecological environment management effect of the water area.

[0047] For example, the surface vehicle 100 can adopt a hull structure made of lightweight, high-strength fiberglass. This ensures sufficient buoyancy and load-bearing capacity while reducing overall weight and enhancing mobility. The hull's bottom is streamlined to reduce drag while traveling on the water, facilitating smoother movement through waves. Buoys are positioned on either side of the hull to further enhance stability.

[0048] The collection box 200 is a rectangular parallelepiped with an inclined deflector at its bottom, ensuring smooth flow of collected algae and water toward the drain. A filter screen, with a mesh size tailored to the size and type of algae, separates the algae from the water, improving collection efficiency. The top of the collection box 200 is open, corresponding to the higher end of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, facilitating the algae's entry into the collection box.

[0049] The circulating collection conveyor belt 300 consists of a driving roller, a driven roller, a conveyor belt and a tensioning device. The conveyor belt is made of a water-resistant and wear-resistant metal frame, which can well support the algae and prevent the algae from slipping during transportation. The tensioning device adopts a screw-type tensioning mechanism, which adjusts the tension of the conveyor belt by rotating the screw to ensure the normal operation of the conveyor belt. The driving roller is driven by a motor, and the motor uses a reduction motor with a large torque to ensure sufficient power during the transportation of algae. The motor is connected to the driving roller through a chain, and the transmission device is installed in a special protective cover to prevent algae and debris from entering. The circulating collection conveyor belt 300 is installed at an angle on the water surface walking body 100, and the inclination angle is adapted to the growth conditions of algae.

[0050] The screw collecting part 400 is mainly composed of a rotating shaft, screw blades and a moving mechanism. The rotating shaft is made of stainless steel with a smooth surface to reduce the entanglement of algae. The screw blades are made of elastic plastic and have a certain flexibility, which can effectively screw the algae without causing excessive damage to the algae. The blades are spirally wound around the rotating shaft, and the pitch is designed according to the growth of the algae and the cleaning efficiency. The moving mechanism uses a linear guide and a slider. The linear guide is installed on the water surface walking body 100, and the slider is connected to the support seat of the rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft can move along the linear guide parallel to the conveying direction of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300.

[0051] The rotating shaft is driven by a waterproof DC motor connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling. The motor is mounted on the shaft's support. To achieve forward and reverse rotation of the shaft, a forward and reverse switch is included in the motor's control circuit. The moving mechanism is driven by an electric push rod, with its fixed end mounted on the water-moving body 100 and its movable end connected to the shaft's support.

[0052] When the spiral collector 400 is in operation, the motor drives the rotating shaft, which in turn rotates the spiral blades, twisting up the algae below the water surface. Simultaneously, the electric push rod propels the rotating shaft along the linear guide rail, pulling the twisted algae onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 for collection. During the twisting process, the flexible spiral blades adapt to the algae's mesh structure, reducing pulling and tearing, and improving the integrity of the algae collection. Furthermore, the algae is twisted into a thread that becomes stronger with each twist, much like a tightened hemp rope, making it difficult to break, thus effectively preventing it from being torn apart.

[0053] During the preparation phase, the surface algae cleaner is transported to the operating area and all components are checked for integrity and secure connections. The equipment is then started and the power system, control system, drainage system, and drive system are checked for proper operation. The speed of the rotating collector 400, as well as the speed of the conveyor belt, are set based on the water conditions and algae growth characteristics.

[0054] During the cleaning phase, the operator controls the surface walking body 100 to move toward the algae growth area. When the designated location is reached, the screw collecting element 400 and the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 are started. The screwing blades of the screw collecting element 400 rotate and move, screwing the algae below the water surface and pulling them onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. The circulating collection conveyor belt 300 transports the algae to the top of the collection box 200, and the algae falls into the collection box 200. During the collection process, the moving speed, rotation speed of the screw collecting element 400 and the running speed of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 are adjusted in real time according to the growth density and collection situation of the algae to ensure the cleaning efficiency and the integrity of the algae collection. At the same time, the filter screen in the collection box 200 separates the algae and water, and the water is discharged through the drainage system.

[0055] After the cleaning work is completed, the screw collecting member 400 and the circulating collecting conveyor belt 300 are closed. The surface walking body 100 is controlled to return to the shore or a designated parking position, and the algae collected in the collection box 200 are poured away, and the equipment is tidied up to prepare for the next cleaning work.

[0056] The unique rotating and moving functions of the Rotating Collector 400 effectively collect algae below the water surface, especially those with a reticular structure. Compared to traditional equipment, this device improves algae collection integrity, reduces the amount of broken algae remaining in the water, and improves the effectiveness of water ecological management.

[0057] The design of the water surface walking body 100 makes it have good maneuverability in different water areas. The tilted setting of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and the movable screw collection element 400 make the equipment have a better algae collection effect.

[0058] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the existing surface algae cleaner incorporates two rotating collectors 400, improving the efficiency and completeness of algae collection, especially those with complex reticulated structures. The two rotating collectors alternately move above the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. By alternately pulling or clamping the same algae and twisting and pulling, they capture and collect the algae more comprehensively and effectively, preventing algae from escaping during the cleaning process or from being torn apart by uneven force from a single rotating collector. This design enhances adaptability to algae with varying growth forms, ensuring more efficient algae removal in various water environments and improving the effectiveness of water ecological management.

[0059] For example, during the cleaning phase, the surface-moving body 100 moves toward an algae growth area. Upon reaching a suitable location, the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and two rotating collection units 400 are activated. One of the rotating collection units 400 first moves close to the water surface, where its rotating shaft drives the rotating blades to rotate, beginning to twist and pull the algae. As the algae is gradually pulled up, the rotating collection unit 400, following the control system's instructions, rotates and moves toward the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. Once the rotating collection unit 400 reaches a certain position, it gradually stops rotating and moves upward. Simultaneously, the other rotating collection unit 400 moves to the algae location and begins rotating, taking over the algae passed from the previous rotating collection unit 400 and continuing to twist and pull the algae toward the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. The circulating collection conveyor belt 300 continues to operate, conveying the algae pulled by the rotating collection unit 400 into the collection tank 200. A filter within the collection tank 200 separates the algae from the water, which is then drained through the drainage system.

[0060] The two rotating collectors 400 work alternately, allowing for faster and more continuous algae collection. This improves collection efficiency compared to a single rotating collector. In the same amount of time, a larger area of ​​water can be cleared of algae, significantly increasing the efficiency of the cleaning operation and shortening the cycle time.

[0061] By alternately gripping the same algae and twisting and pulling, the algae are less likely to be pulled or torn due to uneven force. Compared to a single twisting collector, the integrity of the algae collection is improved, further reducing the problem of broken algae remaining in the water, and more effectively improving the ecological environment of the water.

[0062] The dual-screw collector design makes the device more adaptable to algae with varying growth forms and distributions. Whether algae is sparsely distributed or densely grown in complex networks, it can be more effectively collected. In complex algae removal scenarios, the cleaning effect is improved compared to traditional single-screw collectors, expanding the device's applicability in diverse water environments.

[0063] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the dual-spinning collector surface algae cleaner is equipped with a circulating conveyor 500 and a first mounting seat 601 and a second mounting seat 602 spaced apart therefrom, thereby optimizing the operation of the spinning collector 400. The circulating conveyor 500 provides a circulating platform for the two spinning collectors 400, ensuring a more regular and orderly movement. The first mounting seat 601 and the second mounting seat 602 each support the two spinning collectors 400. These two spinning collectors 400 can more efficiently alternately clamp and spin-pull algae, further improving algae collection efficiency and integrity, and enhancing the device's ability to clean algae in different waters.

[0064] For example, the circulating conveyor 500 can take the form of an endless chain or endless belt, depending on the load requirements and operational stability of the equipment. The circulating conveyor 500 is driven by a motor, preferably an AC motor with a stable output speed. The driving sprocket or driving roller is mounted on a fixed bracket on the water-surface walking body 100, while the driven sprocket or driven roller is mounted in a corresponding position. The tension of the chain or belt is adjusted by a tensioning device. The tensioning device can be a screw or spring type to ensure that the circulating conveyor 500 is always properly tensioned to prevent slipping or loosening.

[0065] The circulating conveyor 500 is installed above the circulating collection conveyor 300. Its annular structure surrounds the effective working area of ​​the circulating collection conveyor 300, ensuring that the spiral collector 400 can collect algae at a suitable position above the circulating collection conveyor 300. The circulating conveyor 500 is installed at a certain height relative to the circulating collection conveyor 300, ensuring that the spiral collector 400 can effectively contact the algae while preventing interference between the spiral collector 400 and the circulating collection conveyor 300.

[0066] The mounting bodies of the first and second mounting blocks 601 and 602 are block-shaped structures with high-precision bearing mounting holes machined inside for mounting the rotating shaft of the screw collector 400. The bottom of the mounting blocks is equipped with a connection structure compatible with the circulating conveyor 500. If the circulating conveyor 500 is an endless chain, a chain connecting block is provided at the bottom of the mounting blocks, which is firmly connected to the chain links via a pin. If it is an endless belt, a belt clamp is provided at the bottom of the mounting blocks and fastened to the belt via bolts.

[0067] The two mounting blocks are spaced apart on the endless conveyor 500, allowing them to be positioned at opposite ends of the endless conveyor 500. During installation, the mounting blocks are initially connected to the endless conveyor 500. The positions of the mounting blocks on the endless conveyor 500 are then adjusted to ensure that the two rotating collectors 400 accurately and effectively alternately capture algae during their circulation. After adjustment, the connection between the mounting blocks and the endless conveyor 500 is tightened to prevent displacement during operation of the endless conveyor 500.

[0068] During the cleaning phase, after the surface walking body 100 reaches the algae growth area, it starts the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveying member 500 and the two twisting collection members 400. The circulating conveying member 500 drives the first mounting seat 601 and the second mounting seat 602 to move in a circular motion, thereby driving the two twisting collection members 400 to move in a circular motion above the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. When one of the twisting collection members 400 moves to a position close to the water surface as the circulating conveying member 500 moves, it begins to twist and pull the algae. As the circulating conveying member 500 continues to move, the twisting collection member 400 gradually pulls the algae toward the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. When the twisting collection member 400 moves to a specific position, the other twisting collection member 400 just moves to the appropriate position, takes over the algae clamped by the previous twisting collection member 400 and continues to twist and pull. In this process, the stable operation of the circulating conveying member 500 ensures the accuracy and continuity of the alternating work of the two twisting collection members 400. The circulating collection conveyor belt 300 conveys the algae pulled by the screw collecting member 400 into the collection box 200. The filter screen in the collection box 200 separates the algae and water, and the water is discharged through the drainage system.

[0069] It should be noted that although the twisted algae have good strength after the twisting collecting component 400 twists the complex reticulated algae and can be pulled out from below the water surface and collected, they are not difficult to tear apart. When one of the twisting collecting components 400 pulls the twisted aquatic plants to the upper end of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the twisting collecting component 400 will be driven by the circulating conveyor component 500 to flip upward and tear apart the twisted aquatic plants, so that the aquatic plants will be separated from the twisting collecting component 400, and the aquatic plants will also fall onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, and then be sent to the collection box 200 to complete the collection of this part of the aquatic plants.

[0070] The synergistic effect of the circulating conveyor 500 and the dual mounting brackets enables the alternating operation of the two rotating collectors 400 to be more precise and efficient. Compared to designs without the circulating conveyor 500, algae collection efficiency is further improved. This system can complete algae removal from large areas of water in a shorter time, improving operational efficiency and reducing cleaning costs.

[0071] The circulating conveyor 500 ensures the orderly and stable alternating operation of the two rotating collection members 400, ensuring a more even distribution of force during the collection process, reducing the pulling and tearing caused by inconsistent operation. Compared with previous designs, the integrity of algae collection is improved, further enhancing the effectiveness of water ecological environment management.

[0072] The first mounting base 601 and the second mounting base 602 provide a stable mounting platform for the screw collecting element 400. The stable operation of the circulating conveying element 500 ensures the stability of the entire collection process. This enhances the equipment's ability to cope with complex water currents, wind and waves in different water environments, and improves the stability of the equipment's operation.

[0073] In some examples, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a first bevel gear 701, a second bevel gear 702, a gear 703, and a rack 704 are provided. This utilizes the cyclic motion of the circulating conveyor 500 to achieve rotational drive of the spiral collector 400, optimizing the algae cleaning process. As the first mounting seat 601 and the second mounting seat 602 follow the cyclic motion of the circulating conveyor 500, the gear 703 alternately engages with the rack 704. The bevel gears drive the spiral collector 400, achieving spiral collection of algae. This design not only simplifies the drive structure and reduces the need for independent drive components, but also allows the rotation of the spiral collector 400 to closely coordinate with the movement of the circulating conveyor 500, improving the efficiency and coordination of algae cleaning.

[0074] For example, a first bevel gear 701 is mounted on the rotating shaft of each spiral collector 400, ensuring sufficient torque transmission when rotating the algae. A second bevel gear 702 mates with the first bevel gear 701 and is rotatably mounted on the first and second mounting bases 601 and 602 via bearings. The second bevel gear 702 meshes with the first bevel gear 701, ensuring smooth and accurate transmission. Gear 703 is coaxially mounted with the second bevel gear 702 and secured to it via a key connection or welding, ensuring synchronous rotation.

[0075] The rack 704 is firmly mounted on one side of the circulating conveyor 500 by means of bolts or welding. During installation, ensure that the tooth surface of the rack is parallel to the tooth surface of the gear 703 and the meshing gap is uniform.

[0076] During the cleaning phase, after the surface walking body 100 reaches the algae growth area, it starts the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and the circulating conveying member 500. As the circulating conveying member 500 moves in a circular motion, the first mounting seat 601 and the second mounting seat 602 follow and move synchronously. When the gear 703 on the first mounting seat 601 moves to a position engaged with the rack 704, the gear 703 starts to rotate under the drive of the rack 704. Since the gear 703 rotates synchronously with the second bevel gear 702, the second bevel gear 702 drives the rotating shaft of the screw collecting member 400 to rotate by engaging with the first bevel gear 701, thereby causing the screw collecting member 400 to start screwing the algae. As the circulating conveying member 500 continues to move, the gear 703 remains engaged with the rack 704, and the screw collecting member 400 continues to screw and pull the algae. When the gear 703 on the first mounting seat 601 disengages from the rack 704, the screw collecting member 400 stops rotating. At this point, the gear 703 on the second mounting base 602 moves to a position that meshes with the rack 704, and the above process repeats, causing the other spinning collection member 400 to begin spinning the algae. The two spinning collection members 400 work alternately in this manner, spinning and pulling the algae onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, which then transports the algae to the collection tank 200.

[0077] The rack-and-pinion transmission system achieves close coordination between the rotation of the rotating collection element 400 and the movement of the circulating conveyor 500. This coordinated operation enables the two rotating collection elements 400 to more efficiently and alternately rotate and collect algae, improving cleaning efficiency compared to traditional independent drive systems. This allows a larger area of ​​algae to be cleaned within the same operating time, improving overall efficiency.

[0078] Utilizing the movement of the circulating conveyor 500 to drive the rotation of the spiral collecting element 400 eliminates the need for additional drive components, such as motors, and simplifies the device's drive structure. This not only reduces equipment cost and maintenance, but also improves device reliability. Compared to traditional designs with multiple drive components, the device has a lower failure rate and less maintenance workload.

[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the shaft 401 of the rotary collector 400 is designed with several spiral grooves 4011 and spikes 4012 perpendicular to the shaft 401, thereby enhancing algae collection. The spiral grooves 4011 guide water flow, allowing algae to more easily gather around the rotary collector 400. They also help secure the algae during the rotation process, preventing it from slipping. The spikes 4012 penetrate deeply into the algae's mesh structure, increasing contact and gripping force. This allows for more effective rotation and pulling of the algae, reducing the risk of algae escaping and breakage during the cleaning process, and improving the integrity and efficiency of algae collection.

[0080] For example, the diameter of the rod 401 is determined by the overall design of the screw collector 400 and the required torque, while the length is set based on the width of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and the algae cleaning range. Spiral grooves 4011 are evenly distributed on the surface of the rod 401 at a specific pitch. The pitch is adjusted based on the size and growth density of the algae to ensure effective water flow and algae collection without weakening the rod 401 due to excessive groove depth or width. The starting and ending points of the spiral grooves 4011 are smoothly rounded to prevent algae from becoming stuck or damaged when entering and exiting the spiral grooves 4011.

[0081] The length of the nail portion 4012 is determined according to the growth form and thickness of the algae. One end is vertically welded or installed on the rod portion 401 by interference fit, and the other end is a sharp cone to facilitate piercing the mesh structure of the algae. The nail portions 4012 are evenly distributed along the axial and circumferential directions of the rod portion 401. In the circumferential direction, a nail portion 4012 is provided at regular intervals to ensure that the nail portion 4012 can fully contact the algae during the screwing process. In the axial direction, each group includes multiple nail portions 4012 distributed along the circumference according to the length of the rod portion 401 and the growth characteristics of the algae. This distribution method enables the nail portions 4012 to provide sufficient and uniform gripping force when screwing the algae.

[0082] During the cleaning phase, after the surface walking body 100 reaches the algae growth area, it starts the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveying member 500 and the two screw collecting members 400. When the screw collecting member 400 moves to a position close to the water surface along with the circulating conveying member 500, the spiral groove 4011 begins to guide the water flow, causing the surrounding algae to gather toward the screw collecting member 400. As the screw collecting member 400 rotates, the nail portion 4012 pierces the mesh structure of the algae, increasing the gripping force on the algae. The spiral groove 4011 assists in fixing the algae during the screwing process to prevent it from slipping off the screw collecting member 400. The two screw collecting members 400 work alternately, screwing the algae and pulling it onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, which then transports the algae to the collection box 200. During the cleaning process, the operator can adjust parameters such as the rotation speed of the spiral collector 400 and the operating speed of the circular conveyor 500 in real time through the control console based on the actual algae collection situation. For example, when encountering an area with dense algae growth, the rotation speed of the spiral collector 400 can be appropriately reduced to allow the spikes 4012 to better grasp the algae, while the operating speed of the circular conveyor 500 can be increased to accelerate algae collection efficiency.

[0083] After the cleaning work is completed, turn off the spiral collection part 400, the circulating conveying part 500, and the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 in sequence. Control the water surface walking body 100 to return to the shore or the designated parking position. Focus on cleaning the spiral collection part 400, and use a brush or other tools to remove algae and debris attached to the spiral groove 4011 and the nail part 4012. Check whether the spiral groove 4011 is worn or deformed, and whether the nail part 4012 is bent or broken. For severely worn spiral grooves 4011 or damaged nails 4012, repair or replace them in time. At the same time, perform routine inspections and maintenance on other components to prepare for the next cleaning operation.

[0084] The synergistic effect of the spiral groove 4011 and the spike portion 4012 makes it more difficult for algae to escape and be damaged during the spiral collection process. Compared with conventional spiral collection structures, the integrity of algae collection is improved, further reducing the amount of broken algae remaining in the water, and further improving the ecological environment of the water area.

[0085] Spikes 4012 penetrate the algae's network structure, while spiral grooves 4011 help gather and secure the algae, making the device more capable of cleaning algae of varying complex growth forms. This improves cleaning effectiveness compared to conventional devices for algae of varying species and growth states, expanding the device's applicability in diverse water environments.

[0086] The rotating collecting member 400 can collect algae more quickly and effectively. Since the algae are more easily gathered and caught, the device can clean more algae in the same amount of time, improving cleaning efficiency, shortening operation time, and improving work efficiency.

[0087] In some examples, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a hook 4013 is provided at the end of the rod 401, along with a rotating stopper 402 and a torsion spring 403, to enhance algae collection, particularly for complexly entangled algae. When the collector 400 is rotated, the hook 4013 can capture larger clumps or tightly entangled algae. The rotating stopper 402, coupled with the torsion spring 403, forms a closed structure with the hook 4013, preventing the captured algae from falling off. This ensures that the algae remains within the collection area during the rotation and pulling process, thereby improving the integrity and efficiency of algae collection and better addressing the cleaning needs of algae in different growth states.

[0088] For example, the hook portion 4013 is hook-shaped with a certain curvature to ensure that it can effectively hook the algae. The hook tip is polished to make it sharper and easier to penetrate the algae mass.

[0089] The rotating stopper 402 is designed as a sheet structure, with a length slightly larger than the opening width of the hook 4013. One end of the rotating stopper 402 is rotatably set on the hook 4013 through a pin shaft, and the other end of the rotating stopper 402 is a free end, which can be opposite to the hook tip of the hook 4013 under the action of the torsion spring 403 to form a closed structure together.

[0090] During the cleaning phase, after the surface walking body 100 reaches the algae growth area, it starts the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveying member 500 and the two screw collecting members 400. When the screw collecting member 400 moves to the algae area along with the circulating conveying member 500, the hook 4013 first contacts the larger clumps or tightly entangled algae and hooks them. As the screw collecting member 400 rotates, the rotating block 402 rotates rapidly under the action of the torsion spring 403 and forms a closed structure with the hook 4013 to prevent the algae from falling off the hook 4013. At the same time, the spiral groove 4011 guides the water flow to gather the algae, and the nail portion 4012 penetrates the algae mesh structure, cooperating with the hook 4013 and the rotating block 402 to screw and pull the algae. When encountering particularly large or tightly entangled algae, the algae creates significant resistance to the rotating stopper 402. The rotating stopper 402 overcomes the torque of the torsion spring 403 and opens appropriately, allowing the algae to pass through, thus preventing excessive load on the equipment. After the algae pass through, the rotating stopper 402 closes again under the action of the torsion spring 403. The two rotating collection members 400 work alternately, twisting and pulling the algae onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, which then conveys the algae to the collection tank 200.

[0091] The combination of hook 4013, rotating stop 402, and torsion spring 403 improves the collection integrity of various algae, especially large, clumping, and entangled algae. Compared to equipment without this structure, the algae collection integrity is improved, virtually eliminating the loss of large algae during the cleaning process, significantly improving the ecological environment of the water area.

[0092] This structure enhances the device's cleaning capabilities for complex algae growth. It effectively captures both highly entangled filamentous algae and large clumps. Compared to traditional equipment, this enhanced cleaning performance improves the device's applicability in diverse water environments.

[0093] By strengthening the capture and fixation of algae, the escape and repeated capture of algae during the collection process are reduced, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. In the same operating time, a larger area of ​​algae can be cleaned, which improves overall work efficiency and reduces cleaning costs.

[0094] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, a plurality of grooves 301 are provided on the surface of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, and scrapers 800 are installed at corresponding positions on the collection box 200, thereby optimizing the transfer of algae from the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 to the collection box 200. When the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 transports algae close to the collection box 200, the ends of the scrapers 800 extend into the grooves 301. As the conveyor belt moves, the scrapers 800 effectively scrape the algae in and around the grooves 301 into the collection box 200. This design prevents algae from remaining on the conveyor belt surface, improves the thoroughness of algae collection, and further enhances the cleaning efficiency and effectiveness of the equipment.

[0095] For example, grooves 301 are evenly distributed across the surface of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. Taking into account the size and fluidity of algae, the grooves 301 are designed to be rectangular or trapezoidal in shape to better accommodate and guide the algae. The depth and shape of the grooves 301 prevent the algae from easily overflowing during operation while also facilitating cleaning by the scraper 800.

[0096] The end of the scraper 800 is designed to be compatible with the shape of the groove 301. If the groove 301 is rectangular, the end of the scraper is rectangular and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the groove so that it can easily extend into the groove; if the groove 301 is trapezoidal, the end of the scraper is also designed to be trapezoidal accordingly.

[0097] During the cleaning phase, after the surface vehicle 100 reaches the algae growth area, it activates the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveyor element 500, and the two rotating collection elements 400. The rotating collection elements 400 rotate and pull the algae onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. As the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 moves, the algae moves toward the collection tank 200. When the conveyor belt moves to the scraper 800 position, the end of the scraper 800 extends into the groove 301. As the conveyor belt continues to move, the scraper 800 scrapes the algae in and around the groove 301 into the collection tank 200.

[0098] The combination of grooves 301 and scraper 800 effectively prevents algae from remaining on the surface of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. Compared to equipment without this structure, algae collection is more thorough, ensuring that more algae is collected in the collection box 200, reducing the impact of algae residue on the equipment on subsequent operations, and further improving the water area cleaning effect.

[0099] The scraper 800 can quickly and effectively scrape the algae off the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, thereby accelerating the collection of the algae. Compared with the traditional method of relying on gravity or simple vibration to cause the algae to fall, the cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0100] By reducing algae residue on the conveyor belt surface, the corrosion and wear of the algae on the conveyor belt is reduced, and the service life of the recycling collection conveyor belt 300 is extended. At the same time, the rational design and installation of the scraper 800 ensures its stability during operation and reduces equipment downtime caused by scraper failure.

[0101] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the pre-collection assembly 900 is mounted on the surface moving body 100 and located in front of the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, thereby performing preliminary collection of algae on the water surface and improving overall cleaning efficiency. Swinging collection rods 901 are positioned on either side of the surface moving body 100 and can be adjusted to adjust according to the distribution of algae on the water surface, expanding the collection range. A mesh 902 is mounted on the swinging collection rods 901, capable of intercepting and collecting algae within a certain range. This allows the subsequent circulation collection conveyor belt 300 and the rotary collection element 400 to operate more effectively, effectively reducing algae escape and improving the comprehensiveness of algae cleaning.

[0102] For example, the swing collecting rod 901 is made of a lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber material or aluminum alloy material to reduce its own weight while ensuring sufficient strength. The rod body is a hollow structure to further reduce the weight. The length is determined according to the width of the water surface walking body 100 and the actual operation requirements. One end of the rod body is connected to the side of the water surface walking body 100, and an angle adjustment device is provided at the hinge, which can adopt a screw type or hydraulic adjustment mechanism. For example, the screw type adjustment mechanism pushes the slider connected to the swing collecting rod 901 to move in the slide groove by rotating the screw, thereby changing the swing angle of the swing collecting rod 901. The swinging of the swing collecting rod 901 can be driven by an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0103] Mesh 902 is made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength nylon or stainless steel mesh. Nylon mesh is lightweight and flexible, and the mesh size should be sufficient to effectively trap algae without causing excessive flow resistance due to small mesh openings. Stainless steel mesh offers greater strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsher water environments. Its mesh size is similar to that of nylon mesh.

[0104] During the cleaning phase, the surface walking body 100 moves toward the algae growth area. During the movement, the pre-collection component 900 starts working. The swinging collection rod 901 swings on both sides of the surface walking body 100 according to a pre-set angle or real-time control by the operator to expand the algae collection range. The net body 902 moves in the water with the swinging collection rod 901, intercepting and gathering algae on the water surface. When the surface walking body 100 approaches an area with denser algae, the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveying member 500 and the two screwing collection members 400 are started. The algae collected by the pre-collection component 900 approaches the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 with the water flow, and the screwing collection member 400 begins to screw and pull the algae onto the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, and then the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 transports the algae to the collection box 200.

[0105] The pre-collection assembly 900 allows algae to be initially gathered before entering the circulating collection conveyor 300, reducing algae escape. This improves overall algae collection efficiency compared to equipment without a pre-collection assembly. Within the same operating time, a larger area of ​​water can be cleared, significantly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0106] By oscillating the collection rod 901 and adjusting the depth and angle of the net 902, the device can better adapt to different algae distribution situations, effectively collecting algae from both sparse and dense distribution, at the surface of the water or at depth. This improved adaptability to different algae distributions expands the device's applicability in various water environments.

[0107] The pre-collection assembly 900 collects algae from a wider area, working in conjunction with the subsequent circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and the rotary collection element 400 to achieve more comprehensive algae removal. Compared to traditional cleaning methods, this more comprehensive cleaning method further improves the water environment and reduces water quality issues caused by residual algae.

[0108] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, a feed wheel 903 is positioned between the swinging collection bar 901 and the circulating collection conveyor 300 to optimize the transfer of algae from the pre-collection assembly 900 to the circulating collection conveyor 300. After the swinging collection bar 901 and the mesh 902 initially gather the algae, the feed wheel 903 rotates to more effectively guide the algae onto the circulating collection conveyor 300, reducing the chance of algae scattering and residue during the transfer process, thereby improving the overall efficiency and integrity of the algae collection.

[0109] For example, the feed wheel 903 is circular, and its diameter is determined according to the distance between the swinging collection rod 901 and the circulating collection conveyor belt 300 and the algae collection requirements. Feeding blades are arranged around the feed wheel 903. The blades are arc-shaped, and the arc is adapted to the circumference of the feed wheel 903 and are evenly distributed on the circumference of the feed wheel 903.

[0110] During the cleaning phase, the surface walking body 100 moves toward the algae growth area, and the pre-collection assembly 900 starts working. The swing collection rod 901 swings on both sides of the surface walking body 100, driving the net body 902 to intercept and collect the algae on the water surface.

[0111] The material wheel 903 rotates, and its material blades push the algae gathered on the net body 902 toward the circulating collection conveyor belt 300. Subsequently, the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, the circulating conveying member 500 and the two twisting collection members 400 work together to twist, pull and transport the algae into the collection box 200.

[0112] The provision of the feed wheel 903 makes the transfer of algae from the pre-collection assembly 900 to the recycling collection conveyor 300 more efficient. Compared with equipment without a feed wheel, the algae transfer efficiency is improved, the residence time of the algae during the transfer process is reduced, the entire cleaning process is accelerated, and the overall efficiency of the algae cleaning is improved.

[0113] The feed wheel 903 works in conjunction with the swinging collection rod 901, the net 902, the circulating collection conveyor belt 300, and other components to optimize the workflow of the entire algae removal system. This equipment is more adaptable to varying water flow conditions and algae distribution patterns. Compared to traditional equipment, it is more adaptable to complex water environments, enabling more effective algae removal in various waters.

[0114] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, a sliding groove 101 is provided, and the collection box 200 is slidably installed therein and can be pulled out through the inlet and outlet 1011, thereby improving the installation and removal convenience of the collection box 200. The maintenance and cleaning process of the equipment is optimized. When the collection box 200 is full of algae or requires internal cleaning or repair, it can be easily pulled out from the water-moving body 100 without complicated disassembly steps, saving time and labor costs and improving the overall efficiency of the equipment.

[0115] For example, the collection box 200 slides in the sliding groove 101 and can be easily pulled out. In order to facilitate pulling out and pushing in the collection box 200, a handle is provided at one end of the collection box 200 near the inlet and outlet 1011.

[0116] After the cleaning work is completed, the surface walking body 100 is controlled to return to the shore. The collection box 200 is pulled out of the sliding groove 101 to facilitate unloading. After unloading is completed, the collection box is pushed back into the sliding groove 101 to prepare for the next algae cleaning.

[0117] The slidable collection box design makes the loading and unloading process of the collection box 200 simple and quick. Compared with traditional fixed or complex disassembly collection boxes, the loading and unloading time is shortened, the utilization efficiency of the equipment is improved, and the equipment downtime caused by the loading and unloading of the collection box is reduced.

[0118] The collection box 200 can be easily pulled out, allowing for thorough cleaning, repair, and component replacement. Compared to traditional equipment, this reduces maintenance effort and time, extending the service life of the collection box 200 and ultimately improving the reliability and stability of the entire device.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
