Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine debris collection vessel technology, specifically an unmanned debris collection vessel for collecting floating debris on the water surface. Background Technology
[0002] Floating debris in rivers, lakes, and oceans not only damages the ecological environment but also poses a serious threat to aquatic life. Furthermore, surface debris affects various aspects of water transportation and tourism. Therefore, the efficient collection of floating debris has become one of the most important tasks in current environmental protection efforts.
[0003] However, traditional methods of removing garbage from water surfaces mainly rely on manual labor, which suffers from low efficiency, high costs, and significant safety risks. Especially for garbage collection over large areas of water, manual labor is often insufficient.
[0004] Currently, most unmanned garbage collection vessels lack effective garbage sorting and storage systems. Some vessels simply collect garbage together without sorting it, causing significant difficulties for subsequent garbage disposal. Even those vessels equipped with sorting and storage systems often suffer from unscientific or unreasonable sorting methods, or unstable equipment performance, resulting in unsatisfactory sorting results. Unmanned garbage collection vessels typically operate in waterways for extended periods, thus requiring a large garbage storage capacity to improve work efficiency and reduce the number of trips. However, the current low garbage storage rate of these vessels often leads to frequent trips and low collection efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an unmanned garbage collection vessel for collecting floating garbage on the water surface, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The unmanned garbage collection vessel for collecting floating garbage on the water surface includes a hull, a drive unit, a collection unit, a separation unit, and a control unit. The hull is placed on a horizontal foundation. The drive unit is fixedly installed at the stern of the hull. The collection unit and the separation unit are fixedly connected. The separation unit is fixedly installed on the surface of the hull away from the horizontal foundation. The separation unit has the function of changing the collection radius of the collection unit. The control unit is fixedly connected to the separation unit. The control unit includes a controller and a camera assembly. The controller is fixedly installed on the separation unit, and the camera assembly is fixedly installed on the controller.
[0008] The hull is used to install and fix the salvage unit, drive unit, separation unit, and control unit. The drive unit is used to drive the hull to travel on the water surface. The salvage unit is used to salvage floating garbage on the water surface and semi-water surface. The separation unit is used to classify and collect floating garbage on the water surface and semi-water surface. The control unit is used to start and stop the drive unit, salvage unit, and separation unit. When the control unit controls the drive unit to drive the hull to travel on the water surface, when the control unit detects garbage on the water surface, the salvage unit salvages the garbage and transports it to the separation unit. The separation unit further processes the garbage, improves the garbage storage rate, and further improves the garbage salvage efficiency.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a fixed cylinder, a drive blade, an electric telescopic shaft, a push plate, and a pressure sensor. The fixed cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the hull, the drive blade is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the fixed cylinder, and the drive blade is electrically connected to the controller. The fixed end of the electric telescopic shaft is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the stern of the hull, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to the push plate. The pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the bottom of the hull, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0010] The controller controls the rotation of the propeller blades, which in turn drives the boat to move on the water. During the garbage cleaning process, when the pressure sensor detects that the weight of the garbage has reached a set value after the water has been released, the controller controls the electric telescopic shaft to extend, which in turn drives the push plate to move towards the bow of the boat, pushing the garbage on the pressure sensor forward, thereby achieving garbage storage.
[0011] Furthermore, the salvage unit includes a mounting plate, a rotating shaft, a baffle, a conveyor belt, a motor, a conveyor roller, a clamping plate, an electromagnet block, a conductive plate, an extension plate, and an electric telescopic rod. There are two mounting plates, which are fixedly connected to the separation unit. The two mounting plates are fixedly connected via a rotating shaft. The baffle is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. The fixed end of the motor is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the baffle. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the conveyor roller at the end furthest from the water surface. There are two conveyor rollers, which are rotatably mounted on the baffle. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer surface of the conveyor rollers. A rotating rod is provided on the outer surface of the baffle at the end closest to the water surface. The clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the baffle via the rotating rod. The electromagnet block is fixedly mounted inside the clamping plate. The conductive plate is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the baffle at the end closest to the motor via a round rod. One end of the extension plate is fixedly connected to the separation unit, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle.
[0012] As the vessel moves, when the camera module captures images of floating debris on the water surface, the controller starts the motor, which in turn drives the conveyor rollers to rotate, thereby rotating the conveyor belt and collecting the debris from the water surface into the first chamber of the separation box. When the camera module captures images of debris halfway up the water surface, the controller retracts the electric telescopic rod, which in turn causes the front end of the baffle to rotate downward, thereby increasing the retrieval radius of the conveyor belt and improving the retrieval efficiency of debris halfway up the water surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the separation unit includes a separation box, a guide plate, a rotating plate, an electromagnet plate, a memory spring, a compression plate, a guide post, a coil, an arc spring, a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, a mounting box, a second conductive plate, a second motor, a variable-diameter spiral auger, a cam, a quartz plate, a partition plate, a first chamber, and a second chamber. The separation box is fixedly installed on the end of the hull away from the horizontal foundation. The separation box is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The bottom of the separation box is provided with a water filter hole. The surface of the separation box near the hull is fixedly connected to an extension plate. The guide plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating plate via a rotating rod. The rotating plate is fixedly mounted on the partition plate. The partition plate is fixedly installed inside the separation box, dividing the separation box into a first chamber and a second chamber. The electromagnet plate is slidably installed inside the first chamber. The compression plate is fixedly connected to the electromagnet plate via a memory spring. The compression plate is slidably installed inside the first chamber and electrically connected to the electromagnet plate. The guide post is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the first chamber away from the guide plate. The guide post is connected to the electromagnet plate... The iron plate is slidably connected, the guide post is slidably connected to the extrusion plate, the coil is evenly wound on the outer surface of the middle part of the guide post, one end of the coil and the arc spring are fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate near the hull, and the other end passes through the partition plate and is fixedly connected to the first electrode plate. The first electrode plate is slidably installed inside the mounting box. The inside of the mounting box on the side of the first electrode plate near the guide post is filled with sponge. The second electrode plate is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the mounting box away from the partition plate. The second electrode plate is electrically connected to the memory spring. The second conductive plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide plate away from the hull. The second conductive plate is electrically connected to the second motor. The fixed end of the second motor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the separation box. The output end of the second motor passes through the separation box and is fixedly connected to the variable diameter spiral auger. The variable diameter spiral auger is installed in the second chamber. The end of the variable diameter spiral auger away from the guide post is fixedly connected to the cam through the cylinder. The cam is installed on the outside of the separation box. The quartz plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the separation box. The quartz plate is electrically connected to the electromagnet block.
[0014] When the conveyor belt scoops up trash from the semi-aquatic surface, a measured amount of trash passes through the guide plate and enters the chamber formed by the electromagnet plate and the squeezing plate in the first chamber. The controller then stops the motor, halting the conveyor belt's transport of trash. At this point, the first and second electrode plates come into contact. The current supplied by the controller to the first electrode plate passes through the second electrode plate and is transmitted to the memory spring. Upon receiving the current, the memory spring contracts, pulling the electromagnet plate and the squeezing plate closer together. This squeezes out water from the trash on the surface, allowing it to flow back to the surface through the filter holes at the bottom of the separation box, thus increasing the storage rate of trash from the semi-aquatic surface. As the squeezing plate moves along the guide post and approaches the electromagnet plate, and when it comes into contact with coil A, the effective number of turns in coil A is relatively small, resulting in a relatively low resistance. This allows a larger current to flow through coil A... The extrusion plate conveys the material to the electromagnet plate, causing the two electromagnet plates to have the same polarity. Under the repulsive force of like poles, the electromagnet plates push the extrusion plate together towards the discharge port of the separation box via the memory spring. At this time, the extrusion plate contacts coil B. When the controller detects that the extrusion plate is in contact with coil B, it stops supplying current to the first electrode plate. The memory spring then expands and extends to its initial length, thereby pushing the extrusion plate and the electromagnet plate away from each other. This causes the water surface debris, after being compressed and drained, to fall from the discharge port of the separation box to the pressure sensor on the hull. When the extrusion plate contacts coil B, currents in different directions from the two coils B are supplied to the electromagnet plates, causing the two electromagnet plates to have opposite polarities. Under the attraction force of opposite poles, the electromagnet plates pull the extrusion plate together towards the initial position via the memory spring, causing the electromagnet plates to re-adhere together.
[0015] When the conveyor belt scoops up trash from the water surface, the baffle at the water surface swings downwards, while the baffle at the right end swings upwards. This causes conductive plate one and conductive plate two to come into contact, and simultaneously, under the transmission action of the arc spring, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are disconnected. The controller's current is then transmitted to motor two through conductive plate one and conductive plate two. Motor two starts, driving the variable-diameter auger to rotate, thus crushing the trash on the water surface and pushing it towards both sides of the second chamber, thereby increasing the storage rate of the trash. During the rotation of the variable-diameter auger, the cam rotates, periodically impacting the quartz plate, generating current that is transmitted to one of the electromagnet blocks. This causes the two electromagnet blocks to periodically exhibit the same and opposite polarities, pushing the clamping plates closer and further away. This increases the scooping radius and primary crushing of the trash, improving the scooping effect and achieving separate storage of surface and semi-surface trash while increasing the overall storage rate.
[0016] Furthermore, the first chamber is provided with a discharge port located on the front of the hull.
[0017] To facilitate the collection of semi-aquatic waste into the hull and improve the waste storage efficiency of the hull.
[0018] Furthermore, the guide plate is provided with a scraper at a 135-degree angle to the horizontal axis and pointing upwards near the end of the conveyor belt.
[0019] To facilitate the scraping of residual waste from the conveyor belt and direct it into the separation box via the guide plate, thus preventing the waste from returning to the water and improving the waste cleaning efficiency.
[0020] Furthermore, the coil consists of coil A, which is close to the electromagnet plate, and coil B, which is far from the electromagnet plate. The end of coil A that is far from the electromagnet plate is the positive current input end, and the current flowing through the two coils A is in the same direction. The end of coil B that is close to the electromagnet plate is the reverse current input end, and the current flowing through the two coils B is in opposite directions.
[0021] In order to control the polarity of the electromagnet plate during the movement of the squeezing plate, water control can be achieved while the waste is being transported, thereby improving the waste storage rate, reducing the number of round trips, and increasing the retrieval efficiency.
[0022] Furthermore, there are three variable diameter augers, with adjacent variable diameter augers rotating in opposite directions, and adjacent variable diameter augers are arranged symmetrically with respect to their center point.
[0023] Because the two adjacent variable-diameter spiral augers rotate in opposite directions, when the garbage on the water surface moves under the action of the augers, the garbage will be subjected to squeezing forces from two opposite directions. This bidirectional squeezing method can effectively squeeze out the water in the garbage and improve the water control rate. The two adjacent variable-diameter spiral augers are symmetrically arranged with their center points apart, which can make the garbage evenly distributed between the augers and move forward, preventing garbage accumulation and affecting the garbage storage rate.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] 1. This invention uses a guide plate in the separation unit to classify and store surface waste and semi-surface waste while simultaneously controlling water flow and crushing it, thereby achieving classified storage of surface waste and semi-surface waste and improving the waste storage rate.
[0026] 2. This invention utilizes a variable-diameter spiral auger to rotate a cam, which periodically impacts a quartz plate. This causes two electromagnet blocks to periodically exhibit the same and opposite polarities, thereby pushing the clamping plates closer and further apart. This increases the retrieval radius and primary crushing of surface debris, improving the retrieval effect of semi-surface debris.
[0027] 3. In this invention, the effective number of turns of the coil changes during the contact process between the extrusion plate and the coil B on the guide post, thereby changing the resistance of the coil. This allows the electromagnet plate to receive currents of different directions and magnitudes with different polarities, thus achieving water control and transportation of garbage and improving the storage rate of the salvage vessel.

[0041] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] Example: Figures 1-12 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, an unmanned garbage collection vessel for collecting floating garbage on the water surface includes a hull 1, a drive unit 2, a collection unit 3, a separation unit 4, and a control unit 5. The hull 1 is placed on a horizontal foundation. The drive unit 2 is fixedly installed at the stern of the hull 1. The collection unit 3 and the separation unit 4 are fixedly connected. The separation unit 4 is fixedly installed on the surface of the hull 1 away from the horizontal foundation. The separation unit 4 has the function of changing the collection radius of the collection unit 3. The control unit 5 is fixedly connected to the separation unit 4. The control unit 5 includes a controller 51 and a camera component 52. The controller 51 is fixedly installed on the separation unit 4, and the camera component 52 is fixedly installed on the controller 51.
[0044] The hull 1 is used to install and fix the salvage unit 3, drive unit 2, separation unit 4 and control unit 5. The drive unit 2 is used to drive the hull 1 to travel on the water surface. The salvage unit 3 is used to salvage floating garbage on the water surface and semi-water surface. The separation unit 4 is used to classify and collect floating garbage on the water surface and semi-water surface. The control unit 5 is used to start and stop the drive unit 2, salvage unit 3 and separation unit 4. When the control unit 5 controls the drive unit 2 to drive the hull 1 to travel on the water surface, when the control unit 5 detects garbage on the water surface, it salvages the garbage on the water surface through the salvage unit 3 and transports it to the separation unit 4. The separation unit 4 further processes the garbage, improves the garbage storage rate and further improves the garbage salvage efficiency.
[0045] like Figure 10 As shown, the drive unit 2 includes a fixed cylinder 21, a drive blade 22, an electric telescopic shaft 23, a push plate 24, and a pressure sensor 25. The fixed cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the hull 1. The drive blade 22 is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the fixed cylinder 21 and is electrically connected to the controller 51. The fixed end of the electric telescopic shaft 23 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the stern of the hull 1 and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the push plate 24. The pressure sensor 25 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the bottom of the hull 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 51.
[0046] The controller 51 controls the drive blade 22 to rotate, thereby driving the hull 1 to travel on the water surface. During the garbage cleaning process on the water surface, when the pressure sensor 25 detects that the weight of the garbage after the water is released reaches the set value, the controller 51 controls the electric telescopic shaft 23 to extend, thereby driving the push plate 24 to move towards the head of the hull 1, pushing the garbage on the pressure sensor 25 forward, thereby realizing the storage of garbage.
[0047] like Figure 2 , 5As shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, and 11, the salvage unit 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a rotating shaft 32, a baffle 33, a conveyor belt 34, a motor 35, a conveyor roller 36, a clamping plate 37, an electromagnet block 38, a conductive plate 39, an extension plate 310, and an electric telescopic rod 311. There are two mounting plates 31, which are fixedly connected to the separation unit 4. The two mounting plates 31 are fixedly connected via the rotating shaft 32. The baffle 33 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 32. The fixed end of the motor 35 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the baffle 33. The output end of the motor 35 is fixedly connected to the conveyor roller 36 at the end furthest from the water surface. There are two conveying rollers 36, which are rotatably mounted on the baffle 33. The conveyor belt 34 is sleeved on the outer surface of the conveying rollers 36. A rotating rod is provided on the outer surface of the baffle 33 near the water surface. The clamping plate 37 is rotatably mounted on the baffle 33 via the rotating rod. The electromagnet block 38 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the clamping plate 37. The conductive plate 39 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the baffle 33 near the motor 35 via a round rod. One end of the extension plate 310 is fixedly connected to the separation unit 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 311. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 311 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle 33.
[0048] When the ship 1 is moving, when the camera component 52 captures images of garbage floating on the water surface, the controller 51 controls the motor 35 to start, driving the conveyor roller 36 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 34 to rotate, collecting the garbage on the water surface into the first chamber 419 in the separation box 41. When the camera component 52 captures images of garbage on the water surface, the controller 51 controls the electric telescopic rod 311 to retract, thereby driving the front end of the baffle 33 to rotate downward, thereby increasing the retrieval radius of the conveyor belt 34 and improving the retrieval efficiency of garbage on the water surface.
[0049] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12, the separation unit 4 includes a separation box 41, a guide plate 42, a rotating plate 43, an electromagnet plate 44, a memory spring 45, a compression plate 46, a guide post 47, a coil 48, an arc spring 49, a first electrode plate 410, a second electrode plate 411, a mounting box 412, a second conductive plate 413, a second motor 414, a variable diameter spiral auger 415, a cam 416, a quartz plate 417, a partition plate 418, a first chamber 419, and a second chamber 420. The separation box 41 is fixedly installed at the end of the hull 1 away from the horizontal foundation. The separation box 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31. The bottom of the separation box 41 is provided with... The separator 41 has filter holes. One end of the separator 41 near the hull 1 is fixedly connected to the extension plate 310. A guide plate 42 is rotatably mounted on a rotating plate 43 via a rotating rod. The rotating plate 43 is fixedly mounted on a partition plate 418, which is fixedly installed inside the separator 41. The separator 41 divides the separator 41 into a first chamber 419 and a second chamber 420. An electromagnet plate 44 is slidably mounted inside the first chamber 419. A pressing plate 46 is fixedly connected to the electromagnet plate 44 via a memory spring 45. The pressing plate 46 is slidably mounted inside the first chamber 419 and electrically connected to the electromagnet plate 44. A guide post 47 is fixedly mounted in the first chamber 419 away from the electromagnet plate 44. On one side of the inner surface of the guide plate 42, the guide post 47 is slidably connected to the electromagnet plate 44, and the guide post 47 is slidably connected to the extrusion plate 46. The coil 48 is evenly wound on the outer surface of the middle part of the guide post 47. One end of the coil 48 and the arc spring 49 are fixedly connected to the end of the guide plate 42 near the hull 1, and the other end passes through the partition plate 418 and is fixedly connected to the first electrode plate 410. The first electrode plate 410 is slidably installed inside the mounting box 412. The mounting box 412 located on the side of the first electrode plate 410 near the guide post 47 is filled with sponge. The second electrode plate 411 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the mounting box 412 on the side away from the partition plate 418. The second electrode plate 411 and the memory Spring 45 is electrically connected. Conductive plate 413 is fixedly installed on the surface of guide plate 42 away from hull 1. Conductive plate 413 is electrically connected to motor 414. The fixed end of motor 414 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of separation box 41. The output end of motor 414 passes through separation box 41 and is fixedly connected to variable diameter auger 415. Variable diameter auger 415 is installed in second chamber 420. The end of variable diameter auger 415 away from guide post 47 is fixedly connected to cam 416 through cylinder. Cam 416 is installed on the outside of separation box 41. Quartz plate 417 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of separation box 41. Quartz plate 417 is electrically connected to electromagnet block 38.
[0050] When the conveyor belt 34 scoops up garbage from the semi-aquatic surface, a measured amount of garbage passes through the guide plate 42 and enters the chamber formed by the electromagnet plate 44 and the squeezing plate 46 in the first chamber 419. The controller 51 then stops the motor 35, and the conveyor belt 34 stops transporting garbage. At this time, the first electrode plate 410 and the second electrode plate 411 come into contact. The current supplied by the controller 51 to the first electrode plate 410 passes through the second electrode plate 411 and is supplied to the memory spring 45. Upon receiving the current, the memory spring 45 contracts, pulling the electromagnet plate 44 and the squeezing plate 46 closer together, thereby squeezing out the water from the garbage on the surface and allowing it to flow back to the surface through the filter holes at the bottom of the separation box 41, thus improving the storage rate of garbage from the semi-aquatic surface. As the squeezing plate 46 moves on the guide post 47 and approaches the electromagnet plate 44, and as the squeezing plate 46 comes into contact with coil A, the effective number of turns of coil A is relatively small, and the resistance is relatively low, thus increasing the electrical current in coil A. The current flows through the extrusion plate 46 and is conveyed to the electromagnet plate 44, so that the two electromagnet plates 44 are of the same polarity. Under the action of like poles repulsion, the electromagnet plate 44 pushes the extrusion plate 46 together to move towards the discharge port of the separation box 41 through the memory spring 45. At this time, the extrusion plate 46 is in contact with the coil B. When the controller 51 detects that the extrusion plate 46 is in contact with the coil B, it stops supplying current to the first electrode plate 410. The memory spring 45 then expands and extends to its initial length, thereby pushing the extrusion plate 46 and the electromagnet plate 44 away from each other. This causes the water surface debris, after being compressed and drained of water, to fall from the discharge port of the separation box 41 to the pressure sensor 25 on the hull 1. When the extrusion plate 46 is in contact with the coil B, the currents in different directions in the two coils B are supplied to the electromagnet plate 44, so that the two electromagnet plates 44 are of opposite polarity. Under the action of opposite poles attracting, the electromagnet plate 44 pulls the extrusion plate 46 together to move towards the initial position through the memory spring 45, so that the electromagnet plates 44 are re-adhere together.
[0051] When the conveyor belt 34 scoops up garbage from the water surface, the baffle 33 at the water surface swings upward, and the baffle 33 at the right end swings downward. This causes the first conductive plate 39 to come into contact with the second conductive plate 413, and simultaneously, under the transmission action of the arc spring 49, the first electrode plate 410 and the second electrode plate 411 are disconnected. As a result, the current from the controller 51 is transmitted to the second motor 414 through the first conductive plate 39 and the second conductive plate 413. The second motor 414 starts, thereby driving the variable diameter spiral auger 415 to rotate, thus crushing the garbage on the water surface and simultaneously pushing it into the second chamber 420. The side-push mechanism improves the storage rate of surface waste. During the rotation of the variable-diameter spiral auger 415, the cam 416 rotates, causing periodic impacts on the quartz plate 417. This generates current that is transmitted to one of the electromagnet blocks 38, causing the two electromagnet blocks 38 to periodically exhibit the same and opposite polarities. This pushes the clamping plate 37 closer and further away, increasing the retrieval radius and primary crushing of surface waste, thus improving the retrieval effect. In this way, the system can achieve the classified storage of surface waste and semi-surface waste while improving the waste storage rate.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the first chamber 419 has a discharge port located on the front of the hull 1.
[0053] In order to facilitate the collection of semi-aquatic waste into hull 1 and improve the waste storage efficiency of hull 1.
[0054] like Figure 12 As shown, the guide plate 42 is provided with a scraper at a 135-degree angle to the horizontal axis and facing upward at one end near the conveyor belt 34.
[0055] In order to facilitate the scraping off of residual garbage on conveyor belt 34 and allow it to flow from guide plate 42 into separation box 41, thereby preventing garbage from returning to the water and improving the garbage cleaning effect.
[0056] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, coil 48 consists of coil A, which is close to electromagnet plate 44, and coil B, which is far from electromagnet plate 44. The end of coil A that is far from electromagnet plate 44 is the positive current input end, and the current flowing through the two coils A is in the same direction. The end of coil B that is close to electromagnet plate 44 is the reverse current input end, and the current flowing through the two coils B is in opposite directions.
[0057] In order to control the polarity of the electromagnet plate 44 during the movement of the squeezing plate 46, water control is carried out while the garbage is being transported, thereby improving the garbage storage rate, reducing the number of round trips, and improving the retrieval efficiency.
[0058] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, there are three variable diameter spiral augers 415. The two adjacent variable diameter spiral augers 415 rotate in opposite directions, and the two adjacent variable diameter spiral augers 415 are arranged symmetrically with respect to their center point.
[0059] Since the two adjacent variable diameter spiral augers 415 rotate in opposite directions, when the garbage on the water surface moves under the action of the augers, the garbage will be subjected to squeezing forces from two opposite directions. This bidirectional squeezing method can effectively squeeze out the water in the garbage and improve the water control rate. The two adjacent variable diameter spiral augers 415 are symmetrically arranged with their center points apart, which can make the garbage evenly distributed between the augers and move forward, preventing garbage accumulation and affecting the garbage storage rate.
[0060] Working principle of the invention:
[0061] When the ship 1 is moving, when the camera component 52 captures images of garbage floating on the water surface, the controller 51 controls the motor 35 to start, driving the conveyor roller 36 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 34 to rotate, collecting the garbage on the water surface into the first chamber 419 in the separation box 41. When the camera component 52 captures images of garbage on the water surface, the controller 51 controls the electric telescopic rod 311 to retract, thereby driving the front end of the baffle 33 to rotate downward, thereby increasing the retrieval radius of the conveyor belt 34 and improving the retrieval efficiency of garbage on the water surface.
[0062] When the conveyor belt 34 scoops up garbage from the mid-water surface, a measured amount of garbage passes through the guide plate 42 and enters the chamber formed by the electromagnet plate 44 and the squeezing plate 46 in the first chamber 419. At this time, the controller 51 stops the motor 35, and the conveyor belt 34 stops transporting garbage. The first electrode plate 410 then contacts the second electrode plate 411. The current supplied by the controller 51 to the first electrode plate 410 passes through the second electrode plate 411 and is then supplied to the memory spring 45. Upon receiving the current, the memory spring 45 begins to contract, pulling... Electromagnetic plate 44 and squeezing plate 46 approach each other, squeezing out water from the surface debris and allowing it to flow back to the surface through the filter holes at the bottom of separation box 41, thus improving the storage rate of semi-surface debris. As squeezing plate 46 moves along guide post 47 and approaches electromagnetic plate 44, and as squeezing plate 46 contacts coil A, coil A has fewer effective turns and relatively lower resistance. This allows a larger current in coil A to be transmitted to electromagnetic plate 44 through squeezing plate 46, resulting in the two electromagnetic plates 44 having the same polarity. Under the repulsive force of like poles, the electromagnetic plate 44... The magnet plate 44 pushes the extrusion plate 46 together towards the discharge port of the separation box 41 via the memory spring 45. At this time, the extrusion plate 46 contacts the coil B. When the controller 51 detects that the extrusion plate 46 is in contact with the coil B, it stops supplying current to the first electrode plate 410. The memory spring 45 then expands and extends to its initial length, thereby pushing the extrusion plate 46 and the electromagnet plate 44 away from each other. This causes the water surface debris, after being compressed and drained of water, to fall from the discharge port of the separation box 41 to the pressure sensor 25 on the hull 1. When the pressure sensor 25 detects the debris after the water has been drained, it releases the water. When the weight reaches the set value, the controller 51 controls the electric telescopic shaft 23 to extend, thereby driving the push plate 24 to move towards the bow of the hull 1, pushing the garbage on the pressure sensor 25 forward, thus realizing the storage of garbage. When the squeezing plate 46 contacts the coil B, the current in different directions in the two coils B is supplied to the electromagnet plate 44, so that the two electromagnet plates 44 are opposite polarities. Under the attraction of opposite polarities, the electromagnet plate 44 pulls the squeezing plate 46 together to move back to the initial position through the memory spring 45, so that the electromagnet plates 44 are re-adsorbed together.
[0063] When the conveyor belt 34 scoops up garbage from the water surface, the baffle 33 at the water surface swings upward, and the baffle 33 at the right end swings downward. This causes the first conductive plate 39 to come into contact with the second conductive plate 413, and simultaneously, under the transmission action of the arc spring 49, the first electrode plate 410 and the second electrode plate 411 are disconnected. As a result, the current from the controller 51 is transmitted to the second motor 414 through the first conductive plate 39 and the second conductive plate 413. The second motor 414 starts, thereby driving the variable diameter spiral auger 415 to rotate, thus crushing the garbage on the water surface and simultaneously pushing it into the second chamber 420. The side-push mechanism improves the storage rate of surface waste. During the rotation of the variable-diameter spiral auger 415, the cam 416 rotates, causing periodic impacts on the quartz plate 417. This generates current that is transmitted to one of the electromagnet blocks 38, causing the two electromagnet blocks 38 to periodically exhibit the same and opposite polarities. This pushes the clamping plate 37 closer and further away, increasing the retrieval radius and primary crushing of surface waste, thus improving the retrieval effect. In this way, the system can achieve the classified storage of surface waste and semi-surface waste while improving the waste storage rate.
