Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste collection technology, and more particularly to marine debris collection devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy and the increasing frequency of human activities, marine debris pollution has become one of the most serious environmental challenges facing the world today. Marine debris originates from a wide range of sources, including land-based waste such as plastic products, glass, metal, wood, and rubber, as well as fishing nets and ship debris generated at sea. Driven by tides and waves, large amounts of marine debris are washed ashore, especially in bays and estuaries where it is more easily deposited.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for dealing with marine debris include large garbage collection vessels and floating garbage collection devices. Large garbage collection vessels are typically equipped with salvage equipment, enabling them to collect debris in open waters. However, these vessels are bulky, have high operating costs, and struggle to operate in nearshore and shallow waters. Floating garbage collection devices utilize water currents and wind power to gather debris from the ocean surface into specific areas for collection. For beach debris, existing cleanup methods primarily rely on manual labor and simple mechanical cleaning equipment. While some methods exist for cleaning up marine and beach debris, there is a lack of a dedicated device for the efficient and comprehensive collection and treatment of debris washed ashore by waves. Therefore, this paper proposes a marine debris collection device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a marine debris collection device.

[0005] A marine debris collection device includes a collection plate and an extension plate. One end of the collection plate is connected to the extension plate. Two symmetrically distributed guide plates are connected to the two side edges of the collection plate and the extension plate. A placement opening is provided at the end of the collection plate away from the extension plate. A collection opening is provided in the middle of the collection plate. A burial box is connected to the placement opening at the bottom of the collection plate. A guide pipe is provided at the collection opening at the bottom of the collection plate. The lower end of the guide pipe is connected to the burial box. A collection mechanism is provided on the collection plate for filtering and collecting debris washed ashore by waves.

[0006] Preferably, the mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a rotating component. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both ends of the collection port. The rotating component is connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating component is a three-dimensional groove-shaped structure with quarter-circles at both ends and rectangular sides. A filter screen is connected inside the groove of the rotating component. Multiple water outlets are evenly spaced on the cuboid surface of the rotating component away from the feed pipe. A movable plate is rotatably connected to each water outlet. A torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the rotating shaft and the collection plate.

[0007] Preferably, the upper structure of the feed tube matches the structure of the rotating component, so that the rotating component can rotate into the feed tube, and the rectangular surface of the rotating component matches the size of the collection port.

[0008] Preferably, a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection of the movable plate, and a limit block is connected to the side of each movable plate away from the filter screen.

[0009] Preferably, a collection box is provided inside the buried box, the collection box has a feed inlet on its side, and a handle is provided on the top of the collection box.

[0010] Preferably, a mesh screen is connected to the inner wall of the collection box near the top, and an equipment box is connected to the bottom of the mesh screen. A water pump and a battery are installed in the equipment box. The inlet of the water pump is connected to a suction pipe, and the other end of the suction pipe extends to the outside of the equipment box and is placed at the bottom of the collection box. The outlet of the water pump is connected to a drain pipe, and the end of the drain pipe away from the water pump passes through the top of the equipment box and the collection box and extends to the outside. The battery is electrically connected to the control circuit of the water pump.

[0011] Preferably, the collecting plate is provided with multiple sand-blocking strips at one end near the extension plate.

[0012] Preferably, the collecting plate, the buried box, the guide pipe, the extension plate, the guide plate, the rotating part, the filter screen, the collecting box, the barrier screen, and the equipment box are all made of stainless steel.

[0013] Preferably, the extension plate has an isosceles trapezoidal shape.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0015] 1. This invention is equipped with a collection mechanism. Through the unique design of the rotating parts and its three-dimensional trough structure, combined with the filter screen and water outlet, it takes advantage of the characteristics of the rise and fall of ocean waves to automatically achieve the initial separation of garbage and seawater, and collect the separated garbage in a unified manner, which improves the collection efficiency of marine garbage. Moreover, the entire device has a low cost and is easy to lay and use.

[0016] 2. In this invention, a net is installed inside the collection box to filter the incoming seawater while collecting garbage. When a certain amount of seawater accumulates at the bottom of the collection box, the water pump is activated. The water pump draws the seawater out of the bottom of the collection box through the water pipe and discharges it outside the device through the drain pipe, providing space for the collection of more garbage in the future.

[0017] 3. When the tide recedes and the collection bin is full of garbage, the present invention allows the collection bin to be removed from the buried bin by the handle, the garbage inside to be cleaned, and then put back into the buried bin, making garbage collection easier and more practical during the next high tide.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, a marine debris collection device includes a collection plate 1 and an extension plate 4. One end of the collection plate 1 is connected to the extension plate 4. Two symmetrically distributed guide plates 5 are connected to the two side edges of the collection plate 1 and the extension plate 4. A placement port 101 is opened at the end of the collection plate 1 away from the extension plate 4. A collection port 102 is opened in the middle of the collection plate 1. A buried box 2 is connected to the placement port 101 at the bottom of the collection plate 1. A guide pipe 3 is connected to the collection port 102 at the bottom of the collection plate 1. The lower end of the guide pipe 3 is connected and communicates with the buried box 2. A collection mechanism is provided on the collection plate 1 for filtering and collecting debris washed ashore by sea waves.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mechanism includes a rotating shaft 6 and a rotating component 7. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to both ends of the collection port 102. The rotating component 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 6. The rotating component 7 is a three-dimensional groove structure with quarter-circles at both ends and rectangular sides. A filter screen 8 is connected inside the groove of the rotating component 7. Multiple water outlets 9 are evenly spaced on the cuboid surface of the rotating component 7 away from the guide pipe 3. A movable plate 10 is rotatably connected to each water outlet 9. A torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 6 and the collection plate 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper structure of the guide tube 3 is matched with the structure of the rotating member 7, so that the rotating member 7 can rotate into the guide tube 3, and the rectangular surface of the rotating member 7 is matched with the size of the collection port 102.

[0028] In this embodiment, a torsion spring is provided at the rotation connection of the movable plate 10, and a limit block 11 is connected to the side of each movable plate 10 away from the filter screen 8. Normally, the movable plate 10 closes the water outlet 9 under the action of the torsion spring, and due to the setting of the limit block 11, the movable plate 10 can only rotate to the side of the expansion plate 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, a collection box 13 is provided inside the buried box 2, and a feed inlet 14 is provided on the side of the collection box 13. A handle 15 is provided on the top of the collection box 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, a net 16 is connected to the inner wall of the collection box 13 near the top. An equipment box 17 is connected to the bottom of the net 16. A water pump 18 and a battery 21 are installed inside the equipment box 17. The inlet of the water pump 18 is connected to a water suction pipe 19. The other end of the water suction pipe 19 extends to the outside of the equipment box 17 and is placed at the bottom of the collection box 13. The outlet of the water pump 18 is connected to a drain pipe 20. The end of the drain pipe 20 away from the water pump 18 passes through the top of the equipment box 17 and the collection box 13 and extends to the outside. The battery 21 is electrically connected to the control circuit of the water pump 18.

[0031] In this embodiment, the end of the collecting plate 1 near the extension plate 4 is provided with multiple sand-blocking strips 12, which can block sand in the waves and reduce the amount of sand that reaches the area where the rotating part 7 is located with the waves.

[0032] In this embodiment, the collecting plate 1, the buried box 2, the guide pipe 3, the extension plate 4, the guide plate 5, the rotating part 7, the filter screen 8, the collecting box 13, the barrier net 16, and the equipment box 17 are all made of stainless steel, which increases the corrosion resistance of the device in the marine environment and extends its service life.

[0033] In this embodiment, the extension plate 4 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, which, in conjunction with the guide plate 5, increases the force of the waves to wash the garbage over the area where the rotating component 7 is located.

[0034] The working process and principle of this invention are as follows:

[0035] In use, the entire device is placed on the beach, and the burial box 2 is buried in the sand, so that the collection plate 1 and the extension plate 4 are laid flat on the slope of the beach, ensuring that they can effectively guide the flow of waves and garbage. At high tide, the waves carry marine debris into the beach, and the guide plate 5 quickly plays a guiding role, accurately guiding the surging waves and various marine debris mixed in with them to the collection port 102. The powerful impact of the waves acts on the rotating part 7 (at this time, the direction of seawater flow is opposite to the direction of rotation of the movable plate 10, and the outlet 9 is closed). The rotating part 7 begins to rotate around the rotating shaft 6 and enters the guide pipe 3, so that the waves... As the waves recede, the rotating component 7 will return to its original position under the action of the torsion spring. When the receding waves flow back onto the collection plate 1, the filter screen 8 will intercept the garbage and leave it in the groove of the rotating component 7, allowing the seawater to flow away through the outlet 9 (at this time, the direction of seawater flow is the same as the direction of rotation of the movable plate 10, and the movable plate 10 will rotate and open under the action of the seawater). When the next wave rushes in and causes the rotating component 7 to flip, the garbage collected by the previous wave will enter the collection box 13 in the buried box 2 through the guide pipe 3 after the rotating component 7 flips, thus completing the filtration and collection of garbage in the waves.

[0036] As the waves rise and fall repeatedly, trash continuously enters the collection bin 13, bringing with it a certain amount of seawater. Due to the presence of the net 16 inside the collection bin 13, the seawater concentrates at the bottom of the collection bin 13. When a certain amount of seawater accumulates inside the collection bin 13, the water pump 18 is activated. The water pump 18 pumps the seawater from the bottom of the collection bin 13 through the water pipe 19 and discharges it outside the device through the drain pipe 20, providing space for the collection of more trash in the future.

[0037] When the tide recedes and the collection bin 13 is full of garbage, the collection bin 13 is removed from the burial box 2 by using the handle 15, the garbage inside is cleaned, and then it is put back into the burial box 2 to facilitate garbage collection during the next high tide.

[0038] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
