TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water area cleaning, in particular to a visual control water surface floating object cleaning device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and frequent human activities, the water surface floating object pollution problem of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ports and other water areas is becoming increasingly prominent. These floating objects mainly include plastic garbage, tree leaves and branches, algae and other waste, which not only destroys the water landscape, affects the ecological environment, but also may block waterways, hinder navigation, and even threaten the safety of aquatic organisms and water quality.
[0003] Traditional water surface floating object cleaning mainly relies on manual salvage or simple mechanized equipment. Manual salvage is low in efficiency, high in labor intensity, high in operation risk, and difficult to deal with large-area or continuously generated floating objects. Although the existing mechanized cleaning equipment (such as cleaning ships, trash racks, conveyor belt type collectors, etc.) improves the efficiency to some extent, its working mode is mostly fixed or relies on manual control, and the intelligent degree is insufficient. These devices usually cannot real-time perceive the actual distribution state (such as quantity, flow rate, aggregation area, etc.) of the water area floating objects, so they cannot dynamically adjust the operation strategy, resulting in energy waste, uneven cleaning coverage, weak response to sudden pollution, etc. Especially in the case of sudden increase in the number of floating objects or rapid drifting under the influence of water flow, the fixed rhythm equipment often appears "not enough to salvage" or "idling" phenomenon, and the cleaning efficiency is greatly reduced.
[0004] In recent years, the rapid development of machine vision and automatic control technology provides a new solution for intelligent environmental protection equipment. The application of visual recognition technology to water surface monitoring can realize automatic detection, positioning and state analysis of floating objects. However, how to deeply integrate and real-time link the visual recognition information with the execution mechanism (such as salvage and conveying mechanism) of the cleaning equipment to form a "perception-decision-execution" integrated closed-loop control system, so that the equipment can adaptively adjust the timing, frequency and speed of salvage action according to the real-time dynamics (such as quantity density and drifting speed) of the water surface floating objects, thereby realizing efficient, accurate and energy-saving adaptive cleaning, is still a technical problem to be solved in this field. Therefore, the present application of a visual control water surface floating object cleaning device is used to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

The fishing net 22 is provided at an end of the second frame part 212 away from the first frame part 211. A first driving member is also provided on the first frame part 211. The first driving member is used to drive the second frame part 212 to slide relative to the first frame part 211, thereby driving the fishing net 22 to rise and fall with the water level, realizing automatic adjustment of the fishing component following the water level changes (such as tides, flood discharge, and drought-induced fluctuations), ensuring that the fishing net 22 can always operate at the optimal draft depth when the water level fluctuates within a certain range, avoiding both idling due to low water level and missing fishing due to high water level, and greatly enhancing the working adaptability and reliability of the device under various water level conditions.
[0031] Of course, the first driving member can also be provided on the frame body 1. The first driving member can adjust the height of the fishing net 22 by driving the position of the second frame part 212 relative to the first frame part 211.

[0033] Specifically, the collecting mechanism 4 can also be a garbage conveying mechanism, one part of the collecting mechanism 4 is located in water, and the other part extends out of the water surface to transfer the floating objects to other places, and a stake body and a second driving member can also be provided, the second driving member is arranged in the stake body, and the second driving member is used to adjust the angle or height of the collecting mechanism 4 in cooperation with the fishing mechanism 2 to realize the cleaning of the floating objects.
[0034] Specifically, the fishing net 22 comprises a plurality of vertical plates arranged in an array on the connecting frame 21, the moving path of the fishing net 22 is parallel to the horizontal plane in the preset water area, the distance from the vertical plates close to the upstream of the preset water area to the stake body is equal to the distance from the vertical plates away from the upstream of the preset water area to the stake body, and both are greater than the distance from the vertical plates between the vertical plates close to the upstream of the preset water area and the vertical plates away from the upstream of the preset water area to the stake body, forming a converging channel, which creates a dynamic inward converging conveying channel, for continuously guiding the floating objects from the two sides to the center of the path and converging in the transfer process, effectively preventing the floating objects from escaping from the edge due to water flow or inertia in the transfer process, ensuring that most of the intercepted floating objects can be stably and efficiently conveyed to the collecting mechanism 4, and improving the success rate and integrity of single transfer.
[0035] Specifically, the plurality of vertical plates are arranged in an arc array, and each vertical plate is arranged obliquely relative to the horizontal plane of the preset water area, the cross section of the vertical plate is in the shape of a shuttle, and the shuttle-shaped vertical plate is provided with an avoiding hole in the width direction of the cross section, the shuttle-shaped and oblique design greatly reduces the resistance in water, thereby reducing the driving energy consumption; the avoiding hole can allow part of the water flow to pass through, while efficiently collecting large floating garbage, significantly reducing the water resistance.

[0037] Meanwhile, the upstream visual control mechanism 5 can collect the direction and distance of the floating object floating in a unit of time and send the data to the central control system, and the central control system calculates the water flow direction and the moving speed of the floating object on the water flow according to the direction and distance of the floating object floating, and controls the driving assembly 3 to work after a certain time.
[0038] The central control system can be external, and the connection relationship between the central control system and each mechanism can be electrical connection or signal connection.
[0039] Specifically, the water surface floating object cleaning device comprises a water level sensor 6 and a flow rate sensor 7. The water level sensor 6 is used to detect the water level height in the preset water area, and is used in cooperation with the first driving part to ensure that when the water level change amplitude exceeds the preset floating range, the first driving part drives the fishing net 22 to move upward or downward. The flow rate sensor 7 is used to detect the flow rate of the water level. When the water flow speed approaches zero, the driving assembly 3 and the second driving part are paused, and the visual control mechanism 5 is operated at low power to save energy, realizing deep coupling and adaptive management of the working state of the device and the hydrological environment, automatically correcting the working plane according to the water level, intelligently starting and stopping according to the flow rate (e.g. hibernating to save energy in still water), and maintaining basic monitoring of the visual system in low-power mode. Ultimately, the device becomes an intelligent water body cleaning system that can "perceive the environment, think and decide, act efficiently, and save energy in standby mode", achieving the best balance between cleaning efficiency, device durability and energy economy in complex natural environments.
[0040] Of course, the water level sensor 6 and the flow rate sensor 7 can be used in cooperation with the visual control mechanism 5. For example, when the water level sensor 6 and the flow rate sensor 7 fail, the visual control mechanism 5 can send the data obtained by referring to the object to the central control system for the central control system to make a decision to save time for manual maintenance. For example, a water level reference rod can be set up in the water area monitored by the visual control mechanism 5. The water level reference rod can be vertically or obliquely set on the shore slope.
[0041] The cleaning method of the visual control water surface floating object cleaning device is as follows: S1: Water environment and floating object information collection The visual control mechanism 5 set upstream of the preset water area is used to monitor the water surface in real time and collect image information of the floating objects on the water surface.

[0044] S4: Adaptive Decision-Making for Job Strategies The central control system generates corresponding cleaning strategies based on the number of floating objects, their flow rate, water level, and water flow conditions, and adaptively sets the working time, retrieval time, and operating speed of the retrieval mechanism 2.
[0045] S5: The salvage team performs salvage operations. The drive component 3 drives the conveyor belt 31 to run, enabling the retrieval mechanism 2 to retrieve floating objects; at the same time, the first drive component drives the retrieval net 22 to adjust up and down according to the water level change, so that the retrieval net 22 is always kept at the optimal retrieval depth.

[0047] S7: Cleaning Effectiveness Detection and Energy Management The cleaning effect is evaluated by detecting the water surface condition after retrieval through the visual control mechanism set downstream; when the current water flow speed approaches zero or there are no obvious floating objects in the water, the drive component 3 and the collection mechanism 4 stop operating, and the visual control mechanism 5 enters a low power monitoring mode. At the same time, the upstream and downstream visual control mechanisms can also play a good role when the water flow direction changes.

The water level sensor (6) is used to detect the water level height in the preset water area and works in conjunction with the first drive component according to the water level height to ensure that when the water level change exceeds the preset floating range, the first drive component drives the debris net (22) to move up or down. The flow velocity sensor (7) is used to detect the water flow velocity. When the water flow velocity approaches zero, the drive component (3) and the second drive component stop working, and the visual control mechanism (5) operates with low power consumption to save energy.
