Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of strength testing technology, and more particularly to a hexagonal waste collector. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, various floating debris, including household garbage, industrial waste, construction waste, and plant remains, are commonly seen in urban lakes and rivers. This floating garbage not only exacerbates water pollution, leading to water quality deterioration and damaging aquatic ecosystems, but also severely impacts the visual landscape of scenic lakes, reducing the visitor experience. Therefore, implementing effective measures for the collection and management of floating debris is particularly urgent in order to maintain water environment safety and improve the quality of public spaces.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN223151145U, which discloses a float-type surface garbage collector, comprising: a lifting device, an outer cylinder fixedly mounted on the lifting device, an inner cylinder slidably mounted inside the outer cylinder, and a collection bucket inserted into the inner cylinder; a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the outer cylinder, and an iron ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover; the inner cylinder slidably inserted into the top cover, a sealing sleeve fixedly connected to the side of the inner cylinder, and a magnetic block fixedly connected to the top of the sealing sleeve, the magnetic block being magnetically connected to the iron ring.
[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: both the inner and outer cylinders are circular. Although a sliding guide is designed, there is only one set of sliding guides on each side. This makes it difficult to process the inner surface of the circular outer cylinder during manufacturing, resulting in out-of-roundness. In addition, when water enters the inner cylinder during actual use, it will also exert a tilting force on the inner cylinder that is not parallel to the axis of the inner cylinder. All of the above will cause the inner and outer cylinders to slide and lock, causing the device to fail. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a hexagonal garbage collector.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A hexagonal garbage collector includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder movably mounted on the inner wall of the outer cylinder via multiple sets of guides, and a collection bin disposed inside the inner cylinder. A drain outlet communicating with the interior of the outer cylinder is provided on one side of the bottom of the outer cylinder. A water pump connected to the drain outlet is fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder. Multiple water inlets are provided on the bottom and side walls of the inner cylinder. Water inlets are provided on the bottom and side walls of the collection bin. A float is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the inner cylinder by bolts. The cross-section of the outer cylinder is hexagonal.
[0008] At least one set of the guide members on the same side is arranged in a linear array, and the guide member includes a roller that rolls and engages with the inner wall of the outer cylinder and a wheel frame fixed to the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The two ends of the roller are rotatably connected to a slider through a wheel axle. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the wheel frame, and an arc-shaped spring is fixed to the inner wall of the wheel frame. The other end of the arc-shaped spring contacts and engages with the side wall of the slider.
[0009] Preferably, the top outer wall of the outer cylinder is fixed with a bucket lid by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the hexagonal garbage collector is also equipped with a fixed pile structure, which includes a mounting base fixed to the riverbed or lakebed and a vertical pile fixed to the top of the mounting base and above the water surface. One side of the vertical pile is connected to a semi-coupler A via a displacement drive mechanism. Similarly, one side of the outer cylinder is provided with a semi-coupler B that can be coupled and fixed with the semi-coupler A. Both sides of the outer cylinder are provided with a submersible mechanism for driving the outer cylinder to move in the water. At the same time, the bottom of the outer cylinder is provided with a balance mechanism for support during movement and for ensuring the posture of the outer cylinder when the semi-coupler A and the semi-coupler B are coupled.
[0011] Based on the aforementioned scheme: the submersible mechanism includes a balancing mechanism, a balancing float, a rotating frame, and a turbine driver. The balancing mechanism is fixed to the bottom side of the outer cylinder by bolts, the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the side wall of the balancing mechanism, the balancing float is fixed to the top outer wall of the rotating frame by bolts, and the turbine driver is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the rotating frame by bolts.
[0012] The cross-section of the balancing float is rhomboid, and the long diagonal of the rhomboid structure is parallel to the driving direction of the turbine drive.
[0013] A better embodiment of the aforementioned scheme is that the balancing mechanism consists of two mutually perpendicularly arranged levels and four airbags located at the four corners. The levels and airbags are fixed to the bottom outer wall of the outer cylinder. The balancing mechanism also includes two air pumps, one of which is connected to the two airbags via a three-position three-way valve.
[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the balancing float is a hollow structure, and an air nozzle is provided on both the top and bottom sides of the balancing float. The bottom air nozzle is connected to an air pump through a pipeline, while the top air nozzle is exposed to the atmospheric environment.
[0015] Meanwhile, the semi-coupling component A includes a plate and a plurality of grippers that are slidably connected to the radial direction of the plate via guide blocks. The semi-coupling component B includes a plate and a plurality of limiting rods fixed to the side wall of the plate. The grippers and the limiting rods cooperate with each other, and the end circumferential wall of the limiting rod is provided with a limiting groove that fits with the gripper. The inner wall of the plate is rotatably connected to a turntable, and the side wall of the turntable is rotatably connected to a connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the guide block. The side wall of the plate is fixed to a motor II by bolts, and the output shaft of the motor II is fixed to the side wall of the turntable.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention: a limiting core is fixed to the side wall of the first plate, the end of the limiting core is tapered, a limiting sleeve is fixed to the side wall of the second plate to fit the gap of the limiting core, a magnet is fixed to the outer wall of the limiting core, and a magnetic ring that cooperates with the magnet is fixed to the end of the limiting sleeve.
[0017] Meanwhile, the displacement driving mechanism includes two sets of lead screws and two sets of slides. The two sets of lead screws are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pile in parallel, and the two sets of slides are slidably connected to the inner wall of the pile in symmetrical manner. At least two parallel connecting rods are rotatably connected to the side walls of the two sets of slides. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the plate. One of the lead screws is threadedly connected to one of the slides, and the lead screw passes through the other slide.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the displacement driving mechanism further includes two sets of motors fixed to the top of the pile, and the output shafts of the two motors are respectively fixed to the ends of the two lead screws.
[0019] The bottom of the outer cylinder is fixed with a storage box by bolts. Inside the storage box are fixed a battery for powering the electrical components and a main board for control. The main board includes a central processing module for information processing, a control module for controlling the execution layer components, a communication module for connecting with the administrator equipment, and a signal receiving module for receiving signals from the sensing layer components. All of the above components refer to those that are directly or indirectly attached to the outer cylinder. The main board is also set in a fixed pile structure, and its principle is similar to that described above.
[0020] Specifically, the battery located in the outer cylinder is connected to the water pump, turbine driver, bidirectional air pump, three-position three-way valve and main board; the main board is electrically connected to the water pump, turbine driver, bidirectional air pump, three-position three-way valve and level, and is used to realize signal interaction and control execution.
[0021] The battery located in the fixed pile structure can save space and is directly powered by an external power source. The main board is electrically connected to motor one, motor two, magnet, and camera to realize signal interaction and control execution.
[0022] Meanwhile, a camera for image acquisition is installed on the top of the stake.
[0023] The end of the limiting core is fixed with a waterproof socket, which can be connected to an external power source through a pre-buried cable or underground cable. The side wall of the second plate is fixed with a waterproof plug that mates with the waterproof socket, and the waterproof plug is electrically connected to the charging terminal of the battery.
[0024] In addition, the bottom outer wall of the mounting base is fixed with multiple plug-in anchors that are anchored to the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the plug-in is fixed with a pointed tip.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0026] 1. The present invention, on the one hand, sets the drain outlet as a hexagonal structure with multiple planes inside, which is easier to process than the arc surface and can better ensure flatness. On the other hand, through the targeted design of the guide component, it can use the elastic effect of the arc-shaped spring to perform distance compensation, thereby effectively preventing the inner barrel from getting stuck and locked relative to the outer barrel during lifting, and ensuring the stability of the device operation.
[0027] 2. This invention equips the entire garbage collector with a fixed pile structure, and utilizes the support of the balancing mechanism and the driving of the submersible mechanism for the outer cylinder, along with the coupling effect of semi-coupler A and semi-coupler B, so that the garbage collector can be placed in a non-shore area of the water body to ensure the convenience of garbage collection.
[0028] 3. In this invention, by setting the submersible mechanism as a combination of a balance float, a rotating frame, and a turbine driver, the buoyancy of the balance float is used to balance the rotational torque of the turbine driver based on the leverage effect, thereby ensuring that the turbine driver does not tilt relative to the outer cylinder or tilts at a small angle when it propels, thus reducing energy loss.
[0029] 4. This invention utilizes an air pump and airbags to support the entire outer cylinder, ensuring it can reliably be semi-submerged in water when combined with the fixed pile structure. Furthermore, the attitude sensing of the level and the inflation / deflation of different airbags adjust the attitude balance of the outer cylinder, facilitating the docking and coupling of semi-coupled component A and semi-coupled component B. Simultaneously, by setting the balance float as a hollow structure, it replaces the connection pipeline between the air pump and the atmospheric environment, thus simplifying the structural layout.
[0030] 5. In this invention, the coupling of semi-coupled component A and semi-coupled component B is achieved by setting the clamping claw and the limiting groove of the limiting rod. The limiting core and limiting sleeve are used as height guides and the new attraction between the magnet and the magnetic ring are used to reliably achieve docking and coupling fixation with the fixed pile structure for the outer cylinder that is semi-submerged in water and floats slightly with the water surface fluctuation.
[0031] 6. By setting the displacement drive mechanism to cooperate with two sets of lead screws and slides, and using connecting rod two to connect the slide to plate one, the comprehensive control of the lifting and forward and backward movement of plate one can be achieved simply by starting two motors one in the same or opposite directions.
[0032] 7. By setting up waterproof sockets and waterproof plugs, and using the fixedly installed fixed pile structure to connect to the external power supply, the combination of waterproof sockets and waterproof plugs can enable the charging of the storage battery during the garbage collection process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the device. At the same time, the combination and separation process of the waterproof sockets and waterproof plugs is synchronized with the coupling process of semi-coupler A and semi-coupler B, requiring no additional operation and increasing convenience.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0050] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0051] Example 1:
[0052] Hexagonal garbage collector, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 3 movably disposed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 via multiple sets of guide members 10, and a collection tank 4 disposed inside the inner cylinder 3. A drain outlet 6 communicating with the interior of the outer cylinder 1 is provided on one side of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1. A water pump 5 connected to the drain outlet 6 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. Multiple water inlets 8 are provided on the bottom and side wall of the inner cylinder 3. Water inlets 9 are provided on the bottom and side wall of the collection tank 4. A float 7 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the inner cylinder 3 by bolts. The cross-section of the outer cylinder 1 is hexagonal.
[0053] At least one set of guide members 10 on the same side is arranged in a linear array, and the guide member 10 includes a roller 14 that rolls and contacts the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and a wheel frame 17 fixed to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 3. The two ends of the roller 14 are rotatably connected to the slider 15 through the wheel axle 13. The slider 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the wheel frame 17, and an arc-shaped spring piece 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the wheel frame 17. The other end of the arc-shaped spring piece 16 contacts and engages with the side wall of the slider 15.
[0054] In this embodiment, the outer cylinder 1 can be fixed so that the lid 2 is slightly below the water surface. Since there is no water in the outer cylinder 1, the inner cylinder 3, collection bucket 4, and float 7 descend due to gravity, causing the tops of the inner cylinder 3 and collection bucket 4 to be flush with the top of the lid 2. Water from outside will enter the collection bucket 4, along with floating debris. The water mixed with debris then flows through the second permeator 9, filtering out the debris, and flows into the inner cylinder 3. It then drains into the outer cylinder 1 through the first permeator 8. As water gradually enters, the liquid level in the outer cylinder 1 rises, and the float 7, buoyed by buoyancy, causes the inner cylinder 3 and collection bucket 4 to rise, thus aligning the inner cylinder 3 with the top of the lid 2. The top of bucket 4 is above the water surface. No more water enters the outer cylinder 1, inner cylinder 3, and collection bucket 4. Since the water pump 5 is continuously running, it pumps the water out of the outer cylinder 1 through the drain outlet 6. Then, the buoyancy of the float 7 decreases, and the collection bucket 4, inner cylinder 3, and float 7 will descend again until the top of the inner cylinder 3 and collection bucket 4 is below the water surface. The water mixed with garbage will flow into the collection bucket 4 again. Then, since the water pump 5 pumps water relatively slowly, the water that has entered the collection bucket 4 will gradually flow into the outer cylinder 1 through the second water outlet 9 and the first water outlet 8 to accumulate. The float 7 will rise slowly again. This process is repeated to complete the garbage collection.
[0055] This device, on the one hand, sets the drain outlet 6 as a hexagonal structure with multiple planes inside, which is easier to process than the arc surface and can better ensure flatness. On the other hand, through the targeted design of the guide component 10, it uses the elastic effect of the arc-shaped spring piece 16 to perform distance compensation, thereby effectively preventing the inner barrel 3 from getting stuck and locked relative to the outer barrel 1 when it rises and falls, and ensuring the stability of the device operation.
[0056] Example 2:
[0057] The hexagonal garbage collector, because the outer cylinder 1 in Embodiment 1 needs to be fixed, can only be fixed by setting up anchors on the shore of the lake. If it is set in other locations, it is difficult to clean the garbage after the collection bin 4 is full, thus having a significant limitation. In this embodiment, as... Figures 2-14 As shown, in order to solve the limitation problem, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiment 1: The hexagonal garbage collector is also equipped with a fixed pile structure, which includes a mounting base 18 fixed to the bottom of the river or lake, and a vertical pile 19 fixed to the top of the mounting base 18 and above the water surface. One side of the vertical pile 19 is driven by a displacement driving mechanism 21 and is coupled with a semi-coupler A22. Similarly, one side of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a semi-coupler B23 that can be coupled and fixed with the semi-coupler A22. The two sides of the outer cylinder 1 are provided with a submersible mechanism 24 for driving the outer cylinder 1 to move in the water. At the same time, the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a balance mechanism 25 for supporting the movement and ensuring the posture of the outer cylinder 1 when the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23 are coupled.
[0058] In use, the entire fixed pile structure can be fixed in the center of the water body or other positions. Then, the outer cylinder 1 is dropped from the shore and floats in the water body with the support of the balancing mechanism 25. Then, it is driven by the submersible mechanism 24 to move the outer cylinder 1 to the fixed pile structure. Then, the displacement drive mechanism 21 adjusts the position and distance of the semi-coupler A22. The semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23 are coupled. During the coupling process, the balancing mechanism 25 ensures the balance of the outer cylinder 1. After the coupling is completed, the outer cylinder 1 is fixed relative to the semi-coupler A22. Then, the displacement drive mechanism 21 adjusts the height of the outer cylinder 1 so that it is slightly lower than the water surface. Then, garbage can be collected. After collection, the outer cylinder 1 can be separated from the fixed pile structure by the contact coupling of the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23. Then, the outer cylinder 1 is moved to the shore for cleaning again with the support of the balancing mechanism 25 and the drive of the submersible mechanism 24.
[0059] This device, by equipping the entire waste collector with a fixed pile structure, and utilizing the support of the balancing mechanism 25 and the drive of the submersible mechanism 24 to the outer cylinder 1, along with the coupling effect of the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23, ensures the convenience of waste collection even when the entire waste collector is set in a non-shore area of the water body.
[0060] To solve driver issues, such as Figure 6As shown, the submersible mechanism 24 includes a balancing mechanism 25, a balancing float 26, a rotating frame 27, and a turbine driver 28. The balancing mechanism 25 is fixed to the bottom side of the outer cylinder 1 by bolts. The rotating frame 27 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the balancing mechanism 25. The balancing float 26 is fixed to the top outer wall of the rotating frame 27 by bolts. The turbine driver 28 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the rotating frame 27 by bolts.
[0061] The cross-section of the balance float 26 is rhomboid, and the long diagonal of the rhomboid structure is parallel to the driving direction of the turbine driver 28.
[0062] When the turbine actuator 28 is activated, it can drive the entire outer cylinder 1 to move semi-submersibly in the water. However, during semi-submersible movement, due to the relatively large longitudinal dimension of the outer cylinder 1 and the fact that only the bottom is subjected to driving force, the entire outer cylinder 1 will tilt due to water resistance. If the turbine actuator 28 is directly fixed to the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, the turbine actuator 28 will also tilt accordingly. This causes the propulsion force of the turbine actuator 28 to generate a longitudinal component, which leads to energy loss. Therefore, when the submersible mechanism 24 propels, since the rotating frame 27 and the balancing mechanism 25 are rotatably connected, and the balancing float 26 and the turbine actuator 28 are located on opposite sides of the rotating frame 27, when the turbine actuator 28 pushes... When the turbine driver enters the outer cylinder 1, it is subjected to the reaction force of the water, which causes the balance float 26 and the rotating frame 27 to have a tendency to rotate. This rotational tendency causes more of the balance float 26 to fall below the water surface, increasing the buoyancy of the balance float 26. At the same time, due to the long length of the balance float 26, the straight line formed by the balance float 26, the rotating frame 27, and the turbine driver 28 can be equivalent to a lever. The long length of the balance float 26 means that the lever arm is long. Therefore, the buoyancy of the balance float 26 can be used to balance the reaction force on the turbine driver 28. In addition, the structure of the balance float 26 makes the water flow resistance it experiences small. Overall, the turbine driver 28 is not tilted relative to the outer cylinder 1 or has a small tilt angle.
[0063] This device uses a combination of a balancing float 26, a rotating frame 27, and a turbine driver 28 to balance the rotational torque of the turbine driver 28 by leveraging the buoyancy of the balancing float 26. This ensures that the turbine driver 28 does not tilt or tilts at a small angle relative to the outer cylinder 1 during propulsion, thereby reducing energy loss.
[0064] The balancing mechanism 25 consists of two mutually perpendicularly arranged levels 29 and four airbags 33 located at the four corners. The levels 29 and airbags 33 are fixed to the bottom outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The balancing mechanism 25 also includes two air pumps, one of which is connected to the two airbags 33 through a three-position three-way valve.
[0065] The balance float 26 is a hollow structure, and an air nozzle 34 is provided on both the top and bottom sides of the balance float 26. The bottom air nozzle 34 is connected to the air pump through a pipeline, and the top air nozzle 34 is exposed to the atmospheric environment.
[0066] When the outer cylinder 1 is not fixed to the fixed pile structure, the airbag 33 can be inflated by an air pump to use buoyancy to ensure that the outer cylinder 1 is semi-submerged and floating in the water. At the same time, when the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23 are docked and coupled, the attitude of the outer cylinder 1 can be monitored by two mutually perpendicular levels 29. The buoyancy can be changed by inflating or deflating different airbags 33 to keep the outer cylinder 1 in a balanced attitude without tilting.
[0067] This device, by utilizing an air pump and airbags 33, can support the entire outer cylinder 1, ensuring that it can reliably be semi-submerged in water when combined with the fixed pile structure. On the other hand, it uses the attitude sensing of the level instrument 29 and the inflation and deflation of different airbags 33 to adjust the attitude balance of the outer cylinder 1, thereby facilitating the docking and coupling of the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23. At the same time, by setting the balance float 26 as a hollow structure, it replaces the connection pipeline between the air pump and the atmospheric environment, thereby simplifying the structural layout.
[0068] To solve the coupling problem, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the semi-coupling component A22 includes a plate 35 and a plurality of grippers 36 slidably connected to the radial side of the plate 35 via guide blocks 47. The semi-coupling component B23 includes a plate 38 and a plurality of limiting rods 37 fixed to the side wall of the plate 38. The grippers 36 and the limiting rods 37 cooperate with each other, and the end circumferential wall of the limiting rods 37 is provided with a limiting groove 45 that fits with the grippers 36. The inner wall of the plate 35 is rotatably connected to a turntable 49, and the side wall of the turntable 49 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 48. The other end of the connecting rod 48 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the guide block 47. The side wall of the plate 35 is fixed with a motor 46 by bolts, and the output shaft of the motor 46 is fixed to the side wall of the turntable 49.
[0069] The side wall of the first plate 35 is fixed with a limiting core 42, the end of the limiting core 42 is tapered, the side wall of the second plate 38 is fixed with a limiting sleeve 39 that fits the gap of the limiting core 42, the outer wall of the limiting core 42 is fixed with a magnet 41, preferably an electromagnet, and the end of the limiting sleeve 39 is fixed with a magnetic ring 40 that cooperates with the magnet 41.
[0070] Once the outer cylinder 1 reaches the vicinity of the fixed pile structure and is in equilibrium, the height of the semi-coupled component A22 can be adjusted to be basically flush with that of the semi-coupled component B23 by the displacement drive mechanism 21. Then, the semi-coupled component A22 is horizontally displaced by the displacement drive mechanism 21, guiding the limiting core 42 to gradually insert into the limiting sleeve 39. Then, the magnet 41 is activated, and the magnetic field it generates will produce a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic ring 40 until the limiting core 42 is fully inserted into the limiting sleeve 39, and the magnet 41 and the magnetic ring 40 are in contact. Then, the electric... Motion 2 46 drives turntable 49 to rotate, thereby driving multiple guide blocks 47 to move outward through connecting rod 1 48 until the gripper 36 engages with the limiting groove 45 of the limiting rod 37. Then, the magnet 41, the submersible mechanism 24 and the balancing mechanism 25 are disconnected, realizing the coupling of semi-coupled part A22 and semi-coupled part B23, that is, the hard connection between plate 1 35 and plate 2 38. After connection, the height of the outer cylinder 1 can be adjusted by driving semi-coupled part A22 to rise and fall through displacement drive mechanism 21, so that its top is lower than the water surface.
[0071] This device, by setting the clamp 36 and the limiting groove 45 of the limiting rod 37 to achieve coupling of the semi-coupled part A22 and the semi-coupled part B23, utilizes the limiting core 42 and the limiting sleeve 39 as height guides and the new attraction between the magnet 41 and the magnetic ring 40, so that the outer cylinder 1, which is semi-submerged in water and floats slightly with the water surface, can reliably achieve docking and coupling fixation with the fixed pile structure.
[0072] To solve comprehensive driving problems, such as Figure 4 and Figure 14 As shown, the displacement driving mechanism 21 includes two sets of lead screws 50 and two sets of slides 51. The two sets of lead screws 50 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pile 19 in parallel. The two sets of slides 51 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the pile 19 in symmetrical manner. At least two parallel connecting rods 52 are rotatably connected to the side walls of the two sets of slides 51. The other end of the connecting rods 52 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the plate 35. One of the lead screws 50 is threadedly connected to one of the slides 51, and the lead screw 50 passes through the other slide 51.
[0073] The displacement drive mechanism 21 also includes two sets of motors 20 fixed to the top of the pile 19, and the output shafts of the two motors 20 are respectively fixed to the ends of the two lead screws 50.
[0074] When the two motors 20 start at the same speed and in the same direction, they drive the two lead screws 50 to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction, thereby causing the two slides 51 to slide at the same speed and in the same direction. At this time, the entire semi-coupled component A22 moves longitudinally up and down. When the two motors 20 start at the same speed but in opposite directions, they drive the two lead screws 50 to rotate at the same speed in opposite directions, thereby causing the two slides 51 to slide at the same speed in opposite directions. Then, through the connecting rod 52, the plate 35 moves laterally.
[0075] This device, by setting the displacement drive mechanism 21 to cooperate with two sets of lead screws 50 and slide 51, and at the same time using connecting rod 2 52 to connect slide 51 to plate 35, can achieve comprehensive control of the lifting and lowering movement and forward and backward movement of plate 35 by simply starting two motors 20 in the same or opposite directions.
[0076] In this embodiment, the entire fixed pile structure can be fixed in the center of the water body or other positions. Then, the outer cylinder 1 is dropped from the shore. At this time, the airbag 33 can be inflated by an air pump to ensure that the entire outer cylinder 1 is semi-submerged and floating in the water using buoyancy. Subsequently, when the turbine drive 28 is started, it can drive the entire outer cylinder 1 to move semi-submerged in the water. When the outer cylinder 1 reaches the vicinity of the fixed pile structure, the attitude of the entire outer cylinder 1 can be monitored by two mutually perpendicular levels 29. By inflating or deflating different airbags 33, the buoyancy can be changed to keep the outer cylinder 1 in a balanced, non-tilting attitude. Then, the two motors 20 are started to move at the same speed and in the same direction, which drives the two lead screws 50 to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction, thereby making the two slides 51 slide at the same speed and in the same direction, causing the semi-coupler A22 to rise and fall until the height of the semi-coupler A22 is adjusted to be basically level with the semi-coupler B23. Then, the relative direction of the two semi-couplers A22 is changed, causing the semi-coupler A22 to move laterally, guiding the limiting core 42 to gradually insert into the limiting sleeve 39. Then, the magnet 41 is activated, and the magnetic field it generates will exert a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic ring 40 until the limiting core 42 is fully inserted into the limiting sleeve 39, and the magnet 41 and the magnetic ring 40 are in contact. Then, the motor 46 is activated, which drives the turntable 49 to rotate, thereby driving multiple guide blocks 47 to move outward through the connecting rod 48 until the gripper 36 engages with the limiting groove 45 of the limiting rod 37. Then, the magnet 41, the creeping mechanism 24 and the balancing mechanism 25 are disconnected, realizing the coupling of the semi-coupled part A22 and the semi-coupled part B23. The connection is a rigid connection between plate 35 and plate 38. After the connection, the height of the outer cylinder 1 can be adjusted by driving the semi-coupler A22 to rise and fall through the displacement drive mechanism 21, so that its top is lower than the water surface. Then, garbage can be collected and cleaned until the garbage in the collection bin 4 is collected. Then, the semi-coupler A22 and semi-coupler B23 are separated by starting the motor 46. Then, the outer cylinder 1 is driven to the shore by the submersible mechanism 24 and the balancing mechanism 25 to clean the garbage in the collection bin 4.
[0077] Example 3:
[0078] To address the control issue, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiments 1 and 2: A storage box 30 is fixed to the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 by bolts. Inside the storage box 30, a battery 31 for supplying power to the electrical components and a main board 32 for control are fixed. The main board 32 includes a central processing module for information processing, a control module for controlling the execution layer components, a communication module for connecting to the administrator device, and a signal receiving module for receiving signals from the sensing layer components. All of the above components refer to those directly or indirectly attached to the outer cylinder 1. As for the structure of the main board 32, it is also set within the fixed pile structure, and its principle is similar to that described above.
[0079] Specifically, the battery 31 located in the outer cylinder 1 is connected to the water pump 5, turbine driver 28, bidirectional air pump, three-position three-way valve and main board 32 for power supply; the main board 32 is electrically connected to the water pump 5, turbine driver 28, bidirectional air pump, three-position three-way valve and level, for signal interaction and control execution.
[0080] The battery 31 located in the fixed pile structure can save space and is directly powered by an external power source. The main board 32 is electrically connected to the first motor 20, the second motor 46, the magnet 41, and the camera 53 to realize signal interaction and control execution.
[0081] Meanwhile, a camera 53 for image acquisition is installed on the top of the pile 19.
[0082] In this embodiment, when the outer cylinder 1 leaves or enters the shore, the administrator can communicate with the main board 32 through its communication device, and then use the main board 32 to transmit control commands or receive information. At the same time, the camera 53 can provide image support when the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23 are coupled to ensure the reliability of the coupling. On the other hand, the camera 53 can also be used to observe the garbage collection situation in the collection bin 4.
[0083] Example 4:
[0084] To solve the long-term power supply problem, such as Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiment 3: a waterproof socket 43 is fixed to the end of the limiting core 42. The waterproof socket 43 can be connected to an external power source through a pre-buried cable or underground cable. A waterproof plug 44 that mates with the waterproof socket 43 is fixed to the side wall of the second plate 38. The waterproof plug 44 is electrically connected to the charging terminal of the battery 31.
[0085] Since the amount of electricity stored in the battery 31 is related to its own weight, and the battery 31 moves with the outer cylinder 1, and the garbage collection is a relatively long cycle, and the water pump 5 continuously absorbs the electricity from the battery 31 during the garbage collection process, this may lead to the battery 31 running out of power and being unable to return. Based on this, this embodiment sets up a waterproof socket 43 and a waterproof plug 44, uses a fixedly set fixed pile structure to connect to an external power source, and the combination of the waterproof socket 43 and the waterproof plug 44 enables the charging of the battery 31 during the garbage collection process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the device. At the same time, the combination and separation process of the waterproof socket 43 and the waterproof plug 44 is synchronized with the coupling process of the semi-coupler A22 and the semi-coupler B23, requiring no additional operation and increasing convenience.
[0086] Example 5:
[0087] Since the mounting base 18 in embodiments 2, 3, and 4 needs to be installed on the lake bottom, its installation and disassembly may involve underwater operations, reducing the ease of assembly and disassembly. Figure 15 As shown, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on the above embodiments: the bottom outer wall of the mounting base 18 is fixed with a plurality of plug rods 12 that are plugged and anchored to the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the plug rods 12 is fixed with a tip 11.
[0088] In this embodiment, the mounting base 18 can be directly pressed downward by a pile driver or hydraulic press, and the tip 11 and the insertion rod 12 are inserted into the lake bottom. The friction between the insertion rod 12 and the mud and sand on the lake bottom is used to anchor the entire mounting base 18 and the fixed pile structure. When disassembling, a crane or other lifting device can be used to apply a large upward pulling force to the fixed pile structure to achieve disassembly, thereby increasing the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the entire fixed pile structure.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
