Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to an adjustable leveling water collection tank system capable of continuous cleaning and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Coagulation-based advanced wastewater treatment technology is one of the most widely used technologies in the upgrading and renovation of municipal wastewater treatment plants and industrial wastewater treatment processes. In particular, it is closely related to the increasing domestic requirements for higher effluent quality and stable effluent, making the task of the collection tank responsible for collecting effluent from sedimentation tanks even more important.

[0003] The water collection troughs of general high-efficiency / magnetic coagulation sedimentation tanks mostly adopt a fixed structure. The fixed structure cannot be precisely installed with the pre-reserved holes in the tank wall, especially in the length direction, which requires on-site cutting or welding, which is time-consuming and inefficient. During installation, the traditional leveling water collection trough is composed of an outlet weir plate and the trough itself. The height of the weir plate is adjusted by the waist holes between the weir plate and the trough body and then fixed with stainless steel bolts to achieve the leveling of the entire water collection trough. However, this design results in a large number of waist holes between the weir plate and the trough body, and the gaps are mostly sealed by filling water-stopping materials on-site. This makes the flatness and anti-leakage performance of the water collection trough too dependent on manual operation and difficult to control precisely. In order to reduce the buoyancy of the water collection trough at the beginning of water intake, thereby reducing the strength requirements of the water collection trough itself and the strength requirements of fixing the water collection trough, the common practice of water collection trough is to directly open holes at the bottom of the trough or the bottom of both sides, but this can easily cause problems such as excessive water flow and short flow of water at the outlet.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing collection tanks easily accumulate scum, biological slime, and other pollutants on their inner walls, which reduces the flow cross-section, affects water output efficiency, and can even cause secondary water pollution. Currently, parallel multi-tank collection systems mainly rely on inefficient manual cleaning, which has drawbacks such as high operational risks and the need for system shutdown. Existing automated devices are mostly single-tank designs and cannot move autonomously between multiple tanks, requiring external forces such as hoisting, resulting in low automation and difficulty in achieving continuous cleaning of multi-tank systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an adjustable level water collection tank system capable of continuous cleaning and its usage method.

[0006] An adjustable level water collection tank system capable of continuous cleaning includes a cleaning device, multiple water collection tanks arranged in parallel, and at least one transfer track arranged perpendicular to the water collection tanks, wherein a transfer mechanism is installed on the transfer track.

[0007] An overflow channel is provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the water collection tank, and an anti-buoyancy device is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank.

[0008] The water collection tank includes a main tank body and a telescopic secondary tank, wherein the telescopic secondary tank is movably sleeved on the water outlet end of the main tank body;

[0009] A guide rail is installed on the inner bottom surface of the end of the main groove, and a slider matching the guide rail is installed at a corresponding position on the inner bottom surface of the telescopic sub-groove, so that the telescopic sub-groove can slide and extend along the length direction of the main groove.

[0010] A height adjustment mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the end of the water collection tank.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By adopting a dual-module design of "fixed tank body + sliding compensation section," the traditional limitation of non-adjustable water collection tank length is overcome. This design allows for greater flexibility in adapting to uneven tank walls compared to traditional methods. No on-site cutting or filling is required; installation can be directly performed against the wall via sliding compensation, reducing installation time and increasing efficiency. The resulting water output is highly uniform, avoiding frequent maintenance due to installation deviations. Simultaneously, the height adjustment mechanism levels the entire tank by adjusting the height at both ends, providing adjustment functionality during installation. This reduces the requirements for civil engineering construction and saves on manpower and material costs.

[0013] By adopting the mechanical balance design of "adjustable anti-buoyancy components", the limitation of traditional anti-buoyancy holes not being able to open and close automatically is changed. The opening and sealing of anti-buoyancy holes can be achieved directly through the automatic balance of component gravity and buoyancy, which can effectively avoid damage to the water collection tank structure caused by excessive pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank.

[0014] By installing transfer tracks on the collection tanks, and cooperating with a mobile cleaning device at the top of the tanks, the tank walls are cleaned. Simultaneously, a transfer mechanism on the transfer tracks between adjacent collection tanks facilitates inter-tank movement. The cleaning device moves within the tank via gears engaging with the track, performing the cleaning operation. Upon reaching the end of the tank, an electromagnetic suction device activates the connecting plate, increasing the relative resistance between the connecting plate and the cleaning device. The same drive motor can switch to high-torque mode, and the drive gear engages with the transmission components on the transfer track, propelling the device smoothly laterally to the adjacent tank via a helical drive. This allows for automatic entry into the next collection tank for continued cleaning without manual lifting or intervention. This design completely solves the problems of low efficiency and high risk associated with traditional manual cleaning, as well as the inability of existing automated devices to autonomously cross tanks, significantly improving the automation level of maintenance and the continuous cleaning efficiency of the entire collection tank system.

[0039] 1. Design and optimization of the water collection tank structure:

[0040] Example 1

[0041] In wastewater treatment processes, the collection tank is a crucial terminal device in sedimentation tanks and other structures for collecting the supernatant. Its core function is to evenly distribute water, smoothly collect the clarified water after sedimentation, and transport it to subsequent treatment units. The working condition of the collection tank directly affects the effluent quality, treatment load, and system stability. If scum, biological sludge, or other pollutants accumulate on the inner wall of the tank, it will reduce the flow cross-section, affecting effluent efficiency and even causing secondary pollution of the water.

[0042] Currently, parallel multi-tank cleaning mainly relies on inefficient manual cleaning, which has drawbacks such as high operational risks and the need for downtime. Existing automated devices are mostly single-tank designs, unable to move autonomously between multiple tanks, requiring external force such as hoisting, resulting in low automation and difficulty in achieving continuous cleaning of multi-tank systems.

[0043] This embodiment addresses the aforementioned problems by installing transfer tracks on the water collection tank, in conjunction with a mobile cleaning device on top of the water collection tank to complete the cleaning operation of the tank walls. Simultaneously, a transfer mechanism on the transfer tracks between adjacent water collection tanks completes the inter-tank operation.

[0044] The specific solution adopted is as follows:

[0045] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an adjustable level water collection tank system capable of continuous cleaning includes multiple water collection tanks 7 arranged in parallel. The system also includes a cleaning device and at least one transfer track 8 arranged perpendicular to the water collection tanks 7. A transfer mechanism is installed on the transfer track 8. The transfer track 8 and the water collection tanks 7 form an S-shaped layout, so that a single cleaning device can sequentially access and clean all water collection tanks 7.

[0046] It should be noted that the water collection tank 7 can be used independently and does not require a cleaning device.

[0047] The water collection tank 7 has the functions of length compensation and height adjustment, which can adapt to the length of the pool on site, and achieve the effect of lengthening the tank when it is short and shortening the pool when it is short. The water collection tank can be inserted into the inside of the pool body to complete the sealing operation with the sealing material. At the same time, the end can be adjusted by height adjustment to complete the horizontal adjustment of the water collection tank, ensuring uniform water distribution, smooth collection of the clarified water after sedimentation, and delivery to the subsequent treatment unit.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Traditional leveling water collection tanks consist of an outlet weir plate and the tank body. The height of the weir plate is adjusted by the waist holes in the weir plate and the tank body, and then it is fixed with stainless steel bolts. This design results in a large number of waist holes between the weir plate and the tank body, and the gaps are often sealed by filling water-stopping material on site. After long-term use, the water-stopping material will leak, causing water to overflow in the area below the weir plate, resulting in more impurities in the outflowing water and poor performance.

[0050] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment designs the water collection tank structure as follows:

[0051] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the outer surface of the side wall of the water collection tank 7 is provided with an overflow channel 701; the bottom of the water collection tank 7 is provided with anti-buoyancy holes 907. When the water in the pool exceeds the set height, it will enter the water collection tank through the overflow channel 701, achieving uniform water distribution, smoothly collecting the clarified water after sedimentation, and transporting it to the subsequent treatment unit. The anti-buoyancy holes 907 can eliminate the buoyancy generated by the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank, preventing the water collection tank from floating when water is introduced or the water level changes, ensuring installation stability and consistency of the equipment's operating trajectory.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] The width of the inner side of the existing pool is often uneven, and there are often problems with the width of the adjacent water collection tanks being inconsistent. In this case, it is necessary to cut or re-weld to compensate for the required size, which is difficult to operate and cannot be inserted into the pool body. Sealing material is also required at the end, making the construction difficult and complicated.

[0054] This embodiment addresses the need for length compensation in the water collection tank structure, and the following design is implemented:

[0055] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the water collection tank 7 includes a main tank body 906 and a telescopic secondary tank 904. The telescopic secondary tank 904 is movably sleeved on either end of the main tank body 906. A guide rail is installed on the inner bottom surface of the end of the main tank body 906, and a slider matching the guide rail is installed at the corresponding position on the inner bottom surface of the telescopic secondary tank 904, so that the telescopic secondary tank 904 can slide and extend along the length direction of the main tank body 906. A sealing strip is provided at the sliding surface of the two, and the sealing strip is used to seal the sliding mating surface to prevent contamination and other problems from occurring on the sliding surface.

[0056] The main groove 906 and the telescopic auxiliary groove 907 are typically made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant composite materials. The guide rail can be a convex guide rail, while the slider is a concave slider, forming a sliding fit between the two.

[0057] The above design scheme allows for fine-tuning of the total length of the water collection tank 7 by adjusting the distance between the main tank 906 and the telescopic auxiliary tank 904 according to the actual spacing of the pools on site during installation. It also allows the end fittings to be inserted into the inner side of the pool, which reduces the precision requirements for manufacturing and installation and improves the adaptability of the project.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] When traditional water collection tanks are installed in actual projects, the level of the tank body is difficult to control precisely during civil construction, resulting in a general level error. This leads to an installation gap between the tank body and the reserved holes in the pool wall after installation, a height difference between the two ends, uneven water flow at the weir, and fluctuations in the outflow.

[0060] This embodiment is designed to allow for appropriate height adjustment of the water collection tank structure, as follows:

[0061] like Figure 1-3As shown, a height adjustment mechanism 903 is installed on the upper surface of the end of the water collection tank 7; the height adjustment mechanism 903 includes a first mounting plate 902 for fixing to an external structure and a second mounting plate 9032 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water collection tank 7; a screw 9031 is vertically fixedly connected to the top of the second mounting plate 9032; an L-shaped angle steel 9021 is installed on the first mounting plate 902, one end of which is fixed to the first mounting plate 902, and an adjustment hole matching the screw 9031 is opened on its vertical flange; the screw 9031 passes through the adjustment hole and is locked by a nut.

[0062] In the height adjustment mechanism, the screw 9031 and the second mounting plate 9032 can be fixed by welding or locking nuts. The adjustment hole on the L-shaped angle steel 9021 can be an oblong hole to achieve a certain left and right adjustment margin during installation. The anti-floating holes are evenly distributed on the bottom of the tank.

[0063] The installation height of the water collection tank can be easily and precisely adjusted to be horizontal using a simple screw 9031 and L-shaped angle steel 9021 structure. This is crucial for ensuring that the weirs of all water collection tanks are on the same horizontal plane, directly guaranteeing the uniformity of water discharge and the treatment effect.

[0064] By adopting a modular design with a height adjustment mechanism, the traditional limitation of non-adjustable water collection tank height is overcome. It can adapt to uneven pool walls with more relaxed requirements than traditional methods, reducing installation time and improving efficiency. The water output is highly uniform, avoiding frequent maintenance due to installation deviations.

[0065] Example 5

[0066] When the sedimentation tank is running, water continuously enters the tank, causing the internal water level to rise continuously. When the water level exceeds the bottom of the collection trough, the collection trough will float upwards. Since the two ends of the collection trough are fixed, if the water level continues to rise, the collection trough will remain in the middle floating state for a long time, which can easily cause it to bend and damage the collection trough.

[0067] This embodiment addresses the self-opening and anti-buoyancy design of the water collection tank structure, and the following is implemented:

[0068] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a water-blocking assembly is installed at the anti-buoyancy hole 907. The water-blocking assembly includes a water-blocking plate 9071 and a water-blocking connector 9072. The water-blocking plate 9071 is distributed on the inner side of the water collection tank 7, and the water-blocking connector 9072 is distributed at the bottom of the water collection tank 7. The bottom of the water-blocking plate 9071 passes through the anti-buoyancy hole 907 and is connected to the water-blocking connector 9072. A sealing ring is attached to its bottom surface to enhance the sealing effect with the bottom of the water collection tank 7.

[0069] The water-blocking connector 9072 includes multiple connecting posts 90721. The top of each connecting post 90721 is fixed to the bottom surface of the water collection tank 7, and a constraint ring 90722 is connected to its bottom. Elastic elements 90723 are arranged on the inner side of the multiple connecting posts 90721. A counterweight 90724 is provided between the elastic element 90723 and the constraint ring 90722. The counterweight 90724 and the water-blocking plate 9071 are connected by a rod. Both ends of the connecting posts 90721 are threaded, and both ends of the rod are also threaded.

[0070] In its natural state, the elastic element 90723 acts on the counterweight 90724 to move downwards and adhere to the constraint ring 90722. The baffle plate 9071, when in close contact with the bottom of the water collection tank 7, closes the anti-floating hole 907. The elastic element 90723 applies a vertically downward force to the combination of the baffle plate 9072 and the counterweight 90724. When this force is greater than the external upward pressure on the baffle plate 9072, the anti-floating hole 907 is closed; when this force is less than the external upward pressure on the baffle plate 9072, the anti-floating hole 907 is opened. When the system begins to fill with water and the liquid level reaches the bottom of the water collection tank 7, since there is no water inside, the baffle assembly only experiences a downward restraint force from the counterweight 90724, lacking the downward pressure inside the tank. At this time, the external upward pressure on the baffle plate 9071 is at its maximum during operation, thus maintaining the normally open mode until the pressure inside and outside the water collection tank becomes constant and closes.

[0071] By adjusting the buoyancy setting of the anti-buoyancy device in the water collection tank using the breeding block, if the buoyancy setting exceeds the value, the water in the sedimentation tank will overcome the combined force of the counterweight and the elastic element until the baffle plate and the water collection tank are separated, opening the anti-buoyancy hole. Water will then enter the water collection tank, reducing the upward buoyancy stress of the water collection tank, until the pressure inside and outside the water collection tank is relatively constant. When this constant pressure is reached, the baffle plate will press tightly against the bottom surface of the water collection tank, ensuring the sealing ring is sealed and the anti-buoyancy hole is reliably closed, effectively preventing short circuit of water flow.

[0072] Automatic opening and closing, dual benefits: Through ingenious mechanical design, this system achieves automatic control of the anti-buoyancy orifice. During the evacuation process, external water pressure opens the baffle plate, effectively releasing buoyancy and protecting structural safety. During normal operation, the anti-buoyancy components reliably seal the system, preventing short-circuiting and ensuring the quality of the effluent.

[0073] Simple structure and low cost: The entire device does not require external power or complex control systems, and its functions are achieved only through mechanical components. It has a robust structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to promote.

[0074] Flexible and adaptable: By replacing counterweights of different weights or floats of different buoyancy, the opening and closing thresholds can be flexibly adjusted to meet the anti-buoyancy requirements of different regions and different structures of water collection tanks.

[0075] Easy maintenance: The detachable design allows the entire device to be installed, disassembled, and maintained from above the water collection tank, making operation simple.

[0076] 2. In conjunction with the above-mentioned water collection tank structural design scheme, design the cleaning device structurally:

[0077] Example 6

[0078] like Figure 5-14 As shown, in the water collection tank system described in Embodiment 1, a rack and pinion track 702 is fixedly provided on the top of the side wall of the water collection tank 7 along its length direction;

[0079] The cleaning device includes an outer shell 1 and an inner frame 2 disposed therein. The outer shell 1 is detachably connected to the inner frame 2. A walking mechanism 3 and a cleaning mechanism are mounted on the inner frame 2.

[0080] The walking mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 301, a reducer 302 driven by the drive motor 301, and an output shaft 3021 and a transmission shaft 3022 output from the reducer. The output shaft 3021 and the transmission shaft 3022 are arranged perpendicularly and are mounted through a bearing seat 304. Power is transmitted through a bevel gear pair. The drive motor 301 is equipped with multiple output modes, which correspond to normal walking and the power requirements for driving the transfer mechanism during transfer.

[0081] The drive shaft 3022 has gears 303 symmetrically mounted at both ends that mesh with the rack and pinion track 702, enabling the cleaning device to move linearly along the water collection trough 7. The two gears mesh with the rack and pinion track 702 simultaneously, forming a two-point drive. This ensures a uniform distribution of driving force, avoids torque deflection that may occur with single-point drive, guarantees the stability of the equipment moving linearly along the water collection trough, and prevents deviation, jamming, or tooth wear.

[0082] The transfer track 8 includes two sets of threaded rods 801 and a mounting plate for mounting the threaded rods 801. Each set of threaded rods 801 has two rods, and the mounting plate can be independently installed on the side foundation structure.

[0083] The transfer mechanism includes an internal threaded sleeve 805 sleeved on the threaded rod 801. A toothed ring 802 is fixed to the outer periphery of each internal threaded sleeve 805, and the toothed ring 802 on the internal threaded sleeve 805 of a single set of threaded rods 801 forms a transmission engagement through a double-sided toothed belt.

[0084] The transfer mechanism also includes an outer sleeve 803 sleeved outside each inner threaded sleeve 805, and a connecting plate 804 connecting each outer sleeve 803. The inner threaded sleeve 805 is rotatably disposed inside the outer sleeve 803. The toothed ring 802 corresponding to the action of the traveling mechanism 3 drives the transfer mechanism to run along the layout direction of the transfer track 8.

[0085] Gear 303 switches from meshing with rack and pinion track 702 to meshing with double-sided toothed belt (a commercially available mature product capable of withstanding high torque) on gear ring 802, reusing the walking power source for lateral transfer. This eliminates the need for a separate motor for the transfer action, simplifies the structure, and reduces costs and failure rates.

[0086] The engagement of the internal threaded sleeve 805 and the threaded rod 801 converts the rotational motion of the gear ring into the linear movement of the transfer mechanism. It can generate a large axial thrust with a small input torque, and also possesses a thread self-locking characteristic, allowing the mechanism to lock naturally when the drive stops, preventing the cleaning device from sliding on the transfer track and ensuring safety and stable operation.

[0087] The connecting plate 804 and the surface of the cleaning device are equipped with matching sensors to sense the position of the cleaning device.

[0088] The cleaning mechanism includes side wall cleaning mechanisms 5 installed at both ends of the inner frame 2.

[0089] The side wall cleaning mechanism 5 includes a mounting arm 505 fixedly installed on the inner frame 2. The top surface of the mounting arm 505 has an elongated groove. A telescopic electric cylinder 504 is installed in the groove near one end of the inner frame 2, and a slide rail 503 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove. A second slider 5022 is slidably fitted on the slide rail 503. The second slider 5022 is connected to the output end of the telescopic electric cylinder 504, and the top of the second slider 5022 is connected to a fixed block 502. A roller brush mounting rod 5021 is installed on the fixed block 502. A pair of roller brushes 501 are respectively installed at both ends of the roller brush mounting rod 5021 for cleaning the inner and outer walls of the water collection tank 7.

[0090] A motor is installed inside the fixed block 502. The output end of the motor is connected to a worm gear 5023. The worm gear 5023 is fitted with a worm wheel 5024. A rotating shaft is connected to the center of the worm wheel 5024. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the fixed block 502 and extends out of the surface of the fixed block 502 at both ends. It is fixedly connected to the roller brush mounting rod 5021, so that when the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the roller brush mounting rod 5021 and the roller brush 501 mounted on it to rotate.

[0091] The cleaning mechanism also includes a bottom cleaning mechanism 401, which includes an adjusting motor 401 mounted on the inner frame 2, a reducer 302 connected to the output end of the adjusting motor 401, and an output shaft 3021 and a transmission shaft 3022 driven by the reducer 302. The output shaft 3021 and the transmission shaft 3022 are arranged perpendicularly, and power is transmitted between them through a bevel gear pair. Turntables 402 are symmetrically fixed to both ends of the transmission shaft 3022, and the turntables 402 are located on the outside of the inner frame 2.

[0092] It also includes a first movable arm 403 hinged to the inner frame 2, the surface of which has a groove 4031 along its length; a retractable and slidable second movable arm 405 is sleeved inside the first movable arm 403, one end of which is provided with a first slider 4051 extending into the inner cavity of the first movable arm 403; it also includes an adjusting arm 404 with both ends hinged to the eccentric position of the turntable 402 and the first slider 4051 respectively, so that the rotational motion of the turntable 402 is converted into the linear extension and retraction motion of the second movable arm 405; the other end of the second movable arm 405 is connected to a roller brush mounting base 407 for mounting the roller brush 501.

[0093] The bottom cleaning mechanism 401 converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear extension and retraction motion of the second movable arm 405. Its key advantage is that the second movable arm 405 can be fully retracted when the equipment is moving, facilitating movement within narrow water collection tanks and preventing interference or collisions when entering the transfer mechanism. During cleaning, the second movable arm 405 can extend, expanding the cleaning range and ensuring that the central area of ​​the tank bottom is cleaned.

[0094] The bottom cleaning mechanism 401 also includes a synchronizing rod 406, which passes through the corresponding connection parts of the first slider 4051 and the adjusting arm 404 in sequence and connects the two.

[0095] The inner frame 2 is vertically divided into a first mounting layer 204, a second mounting layer 205, and a third mounting layer 206. The walking mechanism 3 is located in the top first mounting layer 204, and the battery 6 is installed in the bottom third mounting layer 206. A solar panel 101 is installed on the outer surface of the outer shell 1. The solar panel 101 is electrically connected to the battery 6 to provide it with power. Of course, it can also be used in other ways, as long as it provides a power source for the device to move.

[0096] The surface of the inner frame 2 is provided with independent access ports corresponding to the locations of the internal mounting layers: an upper access port 203 is provided corresponding to the location of the first mounting layer 204, a middle access port 202 is provided corresponding to the location of the second mounting layer 205, and a battery access port 201 is provided corresponding to the location of the third mounting layer 206 and the battery 6.

[0097] The power system, control unit, and energy system are physically isolated. This avoids potential interference from the electrical system to the signals, facilitates heat dissipation for each system, and, most importantly, enables modular maintenance. Through corresponding access ports, technicians can quickly troubleshoot specific fault layers without extensive disassembly of the entire device, significantly reducing maintenance time and difficulty.

[0098] Example 7

[0099] like Figures 11-14As shown, based on embodiment 2, a running track plate 810 is arranged in the area between the two sets of threaded rods 801. The top of the running track plate 810 is flush with the double-sided toothed belt and forms a transmission cooperation with the walking mechanism 3. An electromagnetic magnetic suction component for adsorbing the connecting plate 804 is installed on the inner frame 2. An inclined toothed plate is installed on the running track plate. The inclined toothed plate is arranged on the side of the threaded rod 8 near the middle of the water collection tank for the unobstructed operation of the walking mechanism 3 and is connected between the transfer mechanism and the rack and pinion track 702.

[0100] Two sets of threaded rods 801 are provided with axial wear-resistant grooves 806 on their upper surfaces that are close to each other.

[0101] An axial ring 807 is mounted on the running track plate 810 and fitted onto the transmission rod 801. A radial hole is provided on the side wall of the axial ring 807. A set screw 808, a spring, and a wear-resistant body 809 are arranged in the radial hole. The movement resistance between the wear-resistant body 809 and the axial wear-resistant groove 806 is adjusted by pressing the spring with the set screw 808.

[0102] Because the driving torque A on the rack and pinion track 702 needs to be sufficient to move the cleaning device, but the driving torque B that drives the transfer mechanism on the transfer track 8 needs to be greater than the driving torque A, the traditional screw and sleeve fit cannot fully withstand the excess driving torque A. Sometimes, the transfer mechanism will start running before the driving torque B is reached, which will prevent the transfer mechanism from running on the transfer track 8. If the thread transmission resistance is increased indiscriminately, it will inevitably cause premature wear of the mating surfaces, thus causing the transfer action to fail. In order to ensure that the transfer mechanism will not run along the transfer track 8 before the driving torque B is reached, the surface pressure of the wear-resistant body 809 on the axial wear-resistant groove 806 (the groove can be made wear-resistant by means of heat treatment or spray coating) is used to increase the moving resistance. The electromagnetic magnetic attraction of the connecting plate 804 is used to increase the resistance of the cleaning device relative to the connecting plate 804, thereby achieving the driving torque B.

[0103] Example 8

[0104] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a method for using an adjustable leveling water collection tank system capable of continuous cleaning includes the following steps:

[0105] Single tank cleaning operation start-up: The cleaning device located in a certain water collection tank 7 is started by the time set by its internal control system or by a remote command.

[0106] The walking mechanism 3 operates as follows: The drive motor 301 starts, and the power is transmitted to the transmission shaft 3022 through the reducer 302 and the bevel gear pair, driving the gears 303 at both ends to rotate. The gears mesh with the rack and pinion track 702 fixed to the top of the side wall of the water collection tank, pushing the cleaning device to move at a constant speed along the length of the water collection tank.

[0107] The cleaning units operate simultaneously:

[0108] Side wall cleaning: The telescopic electric cylinder 504 of the side wall cleaning mechanism 5 is extended, and the fixed block 502 and the roller brush 501 are moved to the designated position for cleaning via the slide rail 503 and the second slider 5022.

[0109] Bottom Cleaning: The adjusting motor 401 of the bottom cleaning mechanism 401 operates, and the power is transmitted to the drive shaft 3022 via a reducer and bevel gear pair, driving the turntables 402 at both ends to rotate. The turntables, through the hinged adjusting arm 404, drive the first slider 4051 and the second movable arm 405 to extend and retract along the first movable arm 403, thereby bringing the bottom roller brush 501 close to and cleaning the bottom of the tank. The synchronizing rod 406 ensures the synchronization and reliability of power transmission.

[0110] Transfer triggering and preparation: When the cleaning device moves to the transfer track 8 near the end of the water collection tank, the position sensor at its front end detects that the transfer track 8 has arrived at the moving opening 703.

[0111] Once the control system confirms that the cleaning task for this tank has been completed, it issues a transfer command.

[0112] When the cleaning device stops moving, the telescopic electric cylinder 504 of the side wall cleaning mechanism 5 retracts, retracting the roller brush 501. At the same time, the motor inside the fixing block 502 drives the roller brush mounting rod 5021 to rotate to a certain angle through the worm gear pair. The bottom cleaning mechanism 401 can also retract the bottom roller brush 501 to avoid interfering with the transfer process.

[0113] Inter-slot transfer execution: The drive motor 301 of the walking mechanism 3 starts again and enters the transfer mechanism through the inclined tooth plate, so that the gear 303 and the double-sided toothed belt form a transmission engagement.

[0114] The electromagnetic magnetic suction component opens the adsorption connecting plate 804, increasing the resistance of the cleaning device relative to the transfer mechanism;

[0115] When the drive motor 301 switches to high torque mode, the motor continues to rotate, and the power is transmitted to the gear ring 802 through the gear 303. The gear ring 802 drives the internal threaded sleeve 805 to rotate.

[0116] Since the sleeve is fitted onto the threaded rod 801 via a threaded pair, its rotational motion will transfer the linear motion of the mechanism along the axis of the threaded rod.

[0117] Since all the internal threaded sleeves 805 are meshed and linked together by the toothed rings 802 on them, and form an integral frame with the connecting plate 804 and the outer sleeve 803, the entire transfer mechanism, together with the cleaning device on it, begins to move laterally along the transfer track 8.

[0118] The cleaning device is smoothly moved out of the current water collection tank through the movable opening 703, crosses the transition area, and finally reaches the top of the adjacent water collection tank.

[0119] The electromagnetic magnetic attraction component is disconnected, which greatly reduces the operating resistance of the cleaning device relative to the transfer mechanism, and the drive motor 301 switches back to the normal walking speed mode.

[0120] Enter the next collection tank and continue the operation: After the cleaning device has fully entered the adjacent collection tank, its gear 303 re-engages with the rack and pinion track 702 of the adjacent collection tank.

[0121] The sidewall and bottom cleaning mechanisms extend again, and the cleaning device begins to perform the same cleaning operation as in step 1 in the new water collection tank.

[0122] Repeat the above process until all parallel water collection tanks have been cleaned.

[0123] During maintenance, the components in each mounting layer can be inspected and maintained through the corresponding upper inspection port 203, middle inspection port 202 and battery inspection port 201 on the outer casing.
