Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquatic ecosystem restoration technology, specifically referring to a restoration device for restoring aquatic ecosystems. Background Technology

[0002] In various urban parks and natural scenic areas, lakes and waterways of varying sizes are often formed artificially or naturally according to the terrain. However, with the number of tourists increasing year by year, some citizens have a weak sense of environmental protection and often carelessly discard food packaging bags, beverage bottles, cigarette butts, and other waste. In addition, the wind causes nearby dead branches and fallen leaves to fall, and various debris inevitably falls into the water. These floating objects not only seriously damage the visual aesthetics of the water surface, but also produce humus due to long-term soaking, leading to eutrophication and algae growth in the water, which in turn affects the living environment of underwater organisms, forming a vicious cycle of ecological pollution.

[0003] Current equipment for restoring aquatic ecosystems has the following problems:

[0004] When existing aquatic ecosystem restoration equipment uses a fixed-point retrieval method for floating objects, the floating objects on the water surface are easily removed from the collection range of the vortex by external water flow and wind force, and are washed away with the water flow and wind direction, thereby reducing the vortex's retrieval efficiency for floating objects. Therefore, it cannot meet the usage requirements of existing restoration equipment for aquatic ecosystem restoration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this solution provides a restoration device for restoring aquatic ecosystems. This device can generate a jet of water in the downstream area of ​​a swirling current, prolonging the residence time of floating objects in the swirling current zone, thereby improving the capture efficiency of floating objects on the water surface.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this plan is as follows: This plan proposes a restoration device for aquatic ecosystems, including a triangular ring frame, a drive platform, a vortex-type cleaning mechanism, and a wind-guided flow-blocking mechanism. The drive platform is located on the upper wall of the triangular ring frame. The vortex-type cleaning mechanism includes a stirring component, a drive component, and a debris storage component. The stirring component is located at the bottom of the triangular ring frame, the drive component is located on the upper wall of the drive platform, and the debris storage component is located outside the stirring component. The wind-guided flow-blocking mechanism includes a surging component, an adjusting component, and a steering component. The surging component is located at the bottom of the debris storage component, the adjusting component is located on the side wall of the debris storage tank, and the steering component is located on the side of the surging component away from the adjusting component.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the agitation assembly includes an annular plate, agitator blades, and a guide tube. The annular plate is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of a triangular ring frame, and multiple sets of agitator blades are mounted on the inner wall of the annular plate. The guide tube is mounted on the bottom wall of the triangular ring frame on the outer side of the annular plate. The driving assembly includes a driving motor and a driving frame. The driving motor is mounted on the upper wall of the driving platform, and the driving frame is located between the annular plate and the power end of the driving motor. The impurity storage assembly includes an impurity storage box, a diversion port, an upper filter screen, a lower filter screen, and a cover plate. The impurity storage box is located on the outer side of the guide tube, the diversion port is located between the impurity storage box and the guide tube, the upper filter screen is located on the upper wall of the impurity storage box, the lower filter screen is located on the bottom wall of the impurity storage box, and the cover plate is threaded through the impurity storage box and connected to the impurity storage box by threads.

[0008] In use, three pillars are erected in waters prone to floating debris. The triangular ring frame is bolted to the upper wall of the pillars. The part of the vortex-type cleaning mechanism located below the triangular ring frame is immersed in the water. The drive motor drives the drive frame to rotate through the power end. The drive frame drives the agitator blades to rotate through the ring plate. The rotating agitator blades generate a vortex on the water surface. The centripetal force generated by the vortex actively gathers the floating debris scattered on the water surface. Under the suction of the vortex, the floating debris on the water surface enters the guide tube with the water flow. The floating debris inside the guide tube moves to both sides of the guide tube under the obstruction of the lower filter screen. The floating debris flows into the storage tank through the diversion port. The floating debris floats up and sticks to the upper filter screen. Excess river water is discharged through the lower filter screen. The retrieval personnel rotate the cover plate, which is unscrewed from the upper wall of the storage tank to collect the floating debris inside the storage tank.

[0009] Preferably, the flow assembly includes a drain cylinder, a telescopic pipe, a flow box, and flow outlets. The drain cylinder is located on the bottom wall of the storage tank outside the lower filter screen and has an opening at the top. The telescopic pipe is connected to the bottom wall of the drain cylinder and is rotatably connected to it. The flow box is connected to the upper wall of the telescopic pipe at the end away from the drain cylinder. Multiple sets of flow outlets are located on the upper wall of the flow box. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment ring plate, an extension plate, extension threaded holes, and fixing bolts. The adjustment ring plate is rotatably located on the top outside of the storage tank. The extension plate is located on the side wall of the flow box below the adjustment ring plate. Multiple sets of extension threaded holes are respectively located on the adjustment ring plate and the extension plate. The fixing bolts are located between the extension threaded holes and are threadedly connected to them. The steering assembly includes a steering fin and a water inlet. The steering fin is located on the side of the flow box away from the extension plate. Multiple sets of water inlets are located at the bottom of the steering fin.

[0010] In use, river water filtered by the lower filter screen enters the drainage cylinder. The river water inside the drainage cylinder flows into the surge box through the telescopic pipe. The surge box discharges the river water through the surge outlet. The direction of the water flow changes with the wind direction (or the direction of the water flow itself). When there is an angle between the wind direction and the steering fin, the steering fin will drive the adjusting ring plate to rotate along the outer wall of the storage box through the extension plate under the force of the wind, so that the orientation of the steering fin is adjusted to be parallel to the wind direction and the direction of the water flow. The surge outlet sprays the river water in the downstream area of ​​the water flow, causing the river surface to surge. The surge of river water creates a reverse, turbulent flow field barrier in the direction of the mainstream, reducing the downstream speed of floating objects, slowing down the passing speed of floating objects, and prolonging the residence time of floating objects in the collection area, thereby increasing the probability of the vortex capturing floating objects.

[0011] The beneficial effects achieved by this solution using the above structure are as follows:

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this solution combines a vortex-type cleaning mechanism with a wind-guided flow-blocking mechanism. Through the inclusion of agitation components, drive components, debris storage components, surge components, distance adjustment components, and steering components, the drive motor-driven agitator blades generate a vortex on the river surface to collect floating debris, significantly reducing the operating area and improving subsequent retrieval efficiency. This avoids the situation of "chasing after garbage." With the upper and lower filters separating the collected floating debris from the river water, the river water is discharged from the surge outlet, creating a jetting phenomenon in the downstream area of ​​the water flow. This creates water surface bulges and surface divergence, interfering with the movement path of the floating debris, slowing its movement speed, and prolonging its residence time in the vortex zone, thereby increasing the capture probability of floating debris. Floating debris inside the guide tube is blocked by the lower filter and moves to both sides of the guide tube. The floating debris flows into the debris storage box through the diversion port, floats to the top and adheres to the upper filter, while excess river water is discharged through the lower filter.

[0028] like Figures 1-11As shown, the restoration equipment for restoring aquatic ecosystems proposed in this scheme includes a triangular ring frame 1, a drive platform 2, a vortex-type cleaning mechanism 3, and a wind-guided flow-blocking mechanism 17.

[0029] The agitation assembly 4 includes an annular plate 5, agitator blades 6, and a guide tube 7. The annular plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the triangular ring frame 1. Multiple sets of agitator blades 6 are mounted on the inner wall of the annular plate 5. The guide tube 7 is mounted on the bottom wall of the triangular ring frame 1 on the outer side of the annular plate 5. The drive assembly 8 includes a drive motor 9 and a drive frame 10. The drive motor 9 is mounted on the upper wall of the drive platform 2. The drive frame 10 is located between the annular plate 5 and the power end of the drive motor 9. The impurity storage assembly 11 includes an impurity storage box 12, a diversion port 13, an upper filter screen 14, a lower filter screen 15, and a cover plate 16. The impurity storage box 12 is located on the outer side of the guide tube 7. The diversion port 13 is located between the impurity storage box 12 and the guide tube 7. The upper filter screen 14 is located on the upper wall of the impurity storage box 12. The lower filter screen 15 is located on the bottom wall of the impurity storage box 12. The cover plate 16 is threaded through the impurity storage box 12 and is threadedly connected to the impurity storage box 12.

[0030] The flow-inducing assembly 18 includes a drain cylinder 19, a telescopic pipe 20, a flow-inducing box 21, and flow-inducing ports 22. The drain cylinder 19 is located on the bottom wall of the storage box 12 outside the lower filter screen 15 and has an opening at the top. The telescopic pipe 20 is connected to the bottom wall of the drain cylinder 19 and is rotatably connected to the drain cylinder 19. The flow-inducing box 21 is connected to the upper wall of the telescopic pipe 20 at the end away from the drain cylinder 19. Multiple sets of flow-inducing ports 22 are located on the upper wall of the flow-inducing box 21. The adjusting assembly 23 includes an adjusting ring plate 24, an extension plate 25, an extension threaded hole 26, and a fixing screw. The adjusting ring plate 24 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the top of the storage tank 12. The extension plate 25 is located on the side wall of the flow tank 21 below the adjusting ring plate 24. Multiple sets of extension threaded holes 26 are respectively located on the adjusting ring plate 24 and the extension plate 25. The fixing bolt 27 is located between the extension threaded holes 26 and is threadedly connected to the extension threaded holes 26. The steering assembly 28 includes a steering fin 29 and a water inlet 30. The steering fin 29 is located on the side of the flow tank 21 away from the extension plate 25. Multiple sets of water inlets 30 are located at the bottom of the steering fin 29.

[0031] In practical use, three columns are installed in waters where floating debris is easily generated. The triangular ring frame 1 is fixed to the upper wall of the column with bolts (to achieve equipment installation and positioning). The part of the vortex-type cleaning mechanism 3 located below the triangular ring frame 1 is immersed in water to actively clean floating debris on the water surface. The lower part of the vortex-type cleaning mechanism 3 is immersed in water. The operator first adjusts the distance between the flow box 21 and the storage box 12: rotate the fixing bolt 27. After the fixing bolt 27 is unscrewed from the extension threaded hole 26, push the flow box 21 so that it moves the extension plate 25 away from the bottom wall of the adjusting ring plate 24. When a certain extension threaded hole 26 on the adjusting ring plate 24 is aligned with a certain extension threaded hole 26 on the extension plate 25, the telescopic tube 20 extends, the fixing bolt 27 is screwed into the extension threaded hole 26, and the adjusting ring plate 24 and the extension plate 25 are changed to a fixed connection state.

[0032] The direction of the river flow needs to be determined according to the actual working conditions: when the water is still, the flow direction changes with the wind direction; when the water is flowing, the flow direction changes with the flow direction of the river itself. When there is an angle between the wind direction and the flow direction of the water and the surface of the steering fin 29, under the combined thrust of the wind and the water, the steering fin 29 drives the adjusting ring plate 24 to rotate along the outer wall of the storage box 12 through the extension plate 25. The orientation of the steering fin 29 changes to be parallel to the wind direction and the water flow. During the swinging process of the steering fin 29 in the water, the water flows through the water outlet 30 and passes through the steering fin 29, reducing the swing resistance of the steering fin 29 in the water.

[0033] The operator controls the drive motor 9 to be powered on and started. The drive motor 9 drives the drive frame 10 to rotate through the power end. The drive frame 10 drives the agitator blade 6 to rotate through the annular plate 5. The rotation of the agitator blade 6 causes the water surface to swirl. The centripetal force generated by the swirling flow actively gathers the floating objects dispersed on the water surface. Under the suction of the swirling flow, the floating objects on the water surface enter the guide tube 7 with the water flow. After being blocked by the lower filter screen 15, the floating objects inside the guide tube 7 move to both sides of the guide tube 7 and flow into the storage tank 12 through the diversion port 13. The floating objects float up and stick to the upper filter screen 14. Excess river water is discharged through the lower filter screen 15.

[0034] After being filtered by the lower filter screen 15, the river water enters the drainage pipe 19, then flows into the surge box 21 along the telescopic pipe 20, and finally sprays out from the surge outlet 22 in the downstream area of ​​the water flow, causing a surge phenomenon on the river surface. The surging river water creates a reverse and turbulent flow field barrier in the direction of the mainstream, reducing the downstream speed of floating objects, slowing down the speed of floating objects passing through, prolonging the residence time of floating objects in the vortex area, preventing wind or water flow from carrying floating objects away from the vortex area, and increasing the probability of the vortex capturing floating objects.

[0035] Salvage personnel regularly clean the floating debris collected inside the storage box 12 to ensure that the storage box 12 has sufficient storage space. By rotating the cover 16, the cover 16 is unscrewed from the upper wall of the storage box 12, and the floating debris collected inside the storage box 12 is cleared out, thus achieving active cleaning of floating debris on the water surface. The above operation can be repeated for the next use.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] The present solution and its implementation methods have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present solution; the actual structure is not limited to this. In conclusion, if a person skilled in the art, inspired by this description, designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive intent of this solution, such design should fall within the protection scope of this solution.
