The large-scale maritime transport and the rapid development of supertankers have undoubtedly greatly increased the risk of oil spill accidents at sea. Oil-absorbing pads are a product commonly used to absorb oil spills at sea. They are mostly deployed manually, that is, workers are transported by ship to the oil slick to be treated, and then the oil-absorbing pads are deployed manually one by one.
[0003] Currently, in existing technologies, when oil spills occur on the sea surface, oil-absorbing pads are deployed manually. However, manual deployment of oil-absorbing pads wastes a lot of manpower, and this method also poses risks to workers, such as accidents or falls into the sea, resulting in loss of personnel safety. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic deployment device for oil-absorbing pads. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where oil spills at sea are addressed by manually deploying oil-absorbing pads. This manual deployment wastes a significant amount of manpower and poses risks to workers, such as accidents or falls into the sea, resulting in personal injury.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0017] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0018] In the current technology, the large-scale maritime transport and the rapid development of supertankers have undoubtedly greatly increased the risk of oil spill accidents at sea. Oil-absorbing pads are a product commonly used to absorb oil spills at sea. They are mostly deployed manually, that is, workers are transported by ship to the oil slick to be treated, and then the oil-absorbing pads are deployed manually one by one. When there is an oil spill at sea, the oil-absorbing pads are deployed manually. However, the manual deployment of oil-absorbing pads wastes a lot of manpower, and this method of deployment also carries the risk of accidents or even falls into the sea, resulting in loss of personnel safety.
[0019] Therefore, the present invention aims at least in the following ways: by activating the drive mechanism 200, the distance between the two movable plates 205 can be adjusted, and the side slide plate 208 can be driven to move horizontally within the slide rail 207. The hull mechanism 100 can make the hull plate 101 float on the water surface. At the same time, the drive mechanism 200 is linked with the laying mechanism 300, and the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 drive the assembly plate 312 to rise and fall, so as to place the oil-absorbing felt on the water surface. Activating the electric push rod 304 can push the fixed bracket 307 to move horizontally along the assembly plate 312, so as to adjust according to the width of the oil-absorbing felt. By rotating the adjusting screw 309 through the knob, the oil-absorbing felt can be fixed on the fixed bracket 307 and the upper surface of the support plate 311, thereby achieving automatic absorption of the leaked oil on the sea surface by the oil-absorbing felt, and realizing the cleanup of the oil spill on the sea surface.
[0020] Example, according to Figures 1-8 An automatic oil-absorbing felt deployment device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a hull mechanism 100, a drive mechanism 200 mounted on the hull mechanism 100, and a laying mechanism 300 mounted on the hull mechanism 100. The drive mechanism 200 is connected to the laying mechanism 300 for deploying the oil-absorbing felt. Figure 3 As shown, the hull mechanism 100 includes a hull plate 101, an outer float 102 fixedly connected to the outer edge of the hull plate 101, a drive device 103 fixedly connected to one side surface of the hull plate 101, four evenly distributed fixing blocks 105 fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer float 102, a support crossbar 104 fixedly connected between each two fixing blocks 105, and four evenly distributed connecting seats 106 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer float 102.
[0021] like Figure 5As shown, the drive mechanism 200 includes a dual-axis motor 201. A motor support 202 is fixedly connected to the outside of the dual-axis motor 201. The dual-axis motor 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the ship plate 101 via the motor support 202. Drive screws 203 are fixedly connected to the output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 201. Fixed seats 204 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the drive screws 203. The fixed seats 204 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the ship plate 101. Movable plates 205 are meshed with both ends of the drive screws 203. L-shaped connecting rods 206 are fixedly connected to both ends of the movable plates 205. Each L-shaped connecting rod 206 has a side slide plate 208 fixedly connected to its upper end. A slide rail 207 is slidably installed inside the side slide plate 208. The slide rail 207 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support crossbar 104. Starting the dual-axis motor 201 can drive the two drive screws 203 to rotate. The rotation of the drive screws 203 can drive the two movable plates 205 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the distance between the two movable plates 205. It can also drive the side slide plate 208 to move horizontally within the slide rail 207. The outer float 102 can make the boat plate 101 float on the water surface.
[0022] like Figures 7-8As shown, the laying mechanism 300 includes an upper connecting rod 301 and a lower connecting rod 302. One end of each of the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 is rotatably mounted on one side surface of the side slide plate 208. A rotating component 306 is rotatably mounted on the same end of the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302. A limiting rod 303 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the lower connecting rod 302. One end of the limiting rod 303 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 106. Fixed sheet metal 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating component 306. 05. An assembly plate 312 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed sheet metal 305. A fixed bracket 307 is slidably installed inside the assembly plate 312. An electric push rod 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed bracket 307. The output shaft of the electric push rod 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the assembly plate 312. Two rotating seats 308 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed bracket 307. An adjusting screw 309 is rotatably installed inside each rotating seat 308. The upper end of each adjusting screw 309 is fixedly connected to... The device has a knob, and a pressure plate 310 is engaged with the adjusting screw 309. The pressure plate 310 is located above the fixed bracket 307. A support plate 311 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting plate 312. When the dual-axis motor 201 drives the side slide 208 to move horizontally along the slide rail 207, the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 will move synchronously with the side slide 208. After being limited by the lower connecting rod 302 and the limiting rod 303, the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 can be used to move the side slide 208. 2. The assembly plate 312 is raised and lowered to place the oil-absorbing felt on the water surface. The electric push rod 304 is activated to push the fixed bracket 307 to move horizontally along the assembly plate 312. The width of the oil-absorbing felt can be adjusted according to the width of the oil-absorbing felt. The adjustment screw 309 is rotated by the knob to fix the oil-absorbing felt on the fixed bracket 307 and the upper surface of the support plate 311. This achieves automatic absorption of the leaked oil on the sea surface by the oil-absorbing felt, thus cleaning up the oil spill on the sea surface.
[0023] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Starting the dual-axis motor 201 drives the two drive screws 203 to rotate. The rotation of the drive screws 203 causes the two movable plates 205 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the distance between the two movable plates 205. It also drives the side slide plate 208 to move horizontally within the slide rail 207. The outer float 102 allows the boat plate 101 to float on the water surface. When the dual-axis motor 201 drives the side slide plate 208 to move horizontally along the slide rail 207, the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 move synchronously with the side slide plate 208. After being limited by the lower connecting rod 302 and the limiting rod 303, the upper connecting rod 301 and the lower connecting rod 302 can drive the assembly plate 312 to rise and fall, so that the oil-absorbing felt can be placed on the water surface. The electric push rod 304 can be activated to push the fixed bracket 307 to move horizontally along the assembly plate 312. The width of the oil-absorbing felt can be adjusted according to the width of the oil-absorbing felt. The adjusting screw 309 can be rotated by the knob to fix the oil-absorbing felt on the fixed bracket 307 and the upper surface of the support plate 311. Thus, the oil-absorbing felt can automatically absorb the leaked oil on the sea surface and clean up the oil spill.
