Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of algae collection, and in particular to a negative pressure system for collecting algae sediments. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of near-water pollution, many water bodies have experienced continuous outbreaks of algae such as *Ulva prolifera*, severely impacting the city's image, causing significant inconvenience to residents, and resulting in substantial economic losses. Due to the suddenness, massive quantity, wide affected area, rapid reproduction, extremely high water content, and entanglement of algae blooms, conventional surface cleaning vessels are limited, making manual labor the primary means of control. Currently, common manual methods involve manually scooping the algae ashore with scoops or using nets to collect the algae and then pumping it out. Both of these methods are inefficient, unsafe, and labor-intensive. When large-scale or recurring *Ulva prolifera* outbreaks occur, these methods become significantly limited, especially when using pumps, as the uneven distribution of algae within the pumping pipes easily leads to blockages. Furthermore, the high water content of the scooped algae results in a labor-intensive and unsustainable process, requiring large-scale transportation and high energy consumption. This problem needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a negative pressure system for collecting algal deposits.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a negative pressure system for collecting algal deposits, comprising a negative pressure box and a collection box, wherein the negative pressure box is disposed on the top of the collection box; an algae outlet is disposed at the bottom of the negative pressure box, and a corresponding opening is disposed at the top of the collection box; an algae inlet is disposed at the top of the negative pressure box, and a negative pressure interface is disposed on the side; a filter plate is fixedly disposed inside the negative pressure box, the edge of the filter plate is connected to the inner wall of the negative pressure box, and the plane where the filter plate and the negative pressure interface are located are parallel.

[0005] The holes on the filter plate can separate algae from water, allowing the algae to fall through the algae outlet into the collection box. Preferably, the algae outlet is located on the bottom right side of the negative pressure box, and the negative pressure box is located on the top left side of the collection box, which allows the algae to fall into the middle of the collection box and avoids blockage inside the negative pressure box.

[0006] Preferably, the collection box is equipped with a transfer drawer. The transfer drawer is placed inside the collection box, allowing algae to fall directly into it, thus facilitating cleaning of the collection box.

[0007] Preferably, the negative pressure chamber is equipped with clamping plates, and the filter plate is disposed between the two clamping plates. The two clamping plates fix the filter plate, which can prevent algae from passing between the filter plate and the inner wall of the negative pressure chamber, thus protecting the negative pressure device from algae entry.

[0008] Furthermore, each side of the collection box is equipped with a latch, and the outer side of the transfer drawer is equipped with a locking tongue, with the locking tongue corresponding to the latch. This secures the collection box and the transfer drawer, preventing the transfer drawer from slipping out during collection.

[0009] Furthermore, the latch is located on the middle edge of the side of the collection box, and the locking tongue is located on the middle side of the outer side of the transfer drawer. Positioning the locking tongue and latch in the middle allows for more even force distribution.

[0010] Furthermore, the transfer drawer is equipped with casters at the bottom and a handle on the outer side, making it easier to pull out and put in.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The algal sediment collection system of the present invention has the following advantages: 1. It adopts negative pressure drive. Algae enter through the algae inlet of the negative pressure box, and after passing through the filter plate, the filtered water is discharged, which can realize the automatic collection of algae with high collection efficiency. 2. Once the algae collection is complete, the transfer drawer can be removed to empty the algae. This invention has a simple structure, the filter is easy to replace, and no secondary pollution will be generated during the collection process. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Example 1: See Figure 1-4A negative pressure system for collecting algal deposits includes a negative pressure box 01 and a collection box 02. The negative pressure box 01 is located on top of the collection box 02. An algae outlet is provided at the bottom of the negative pressure box 01, and a corresponding opening is provided at the top of the collection box 02. An algae inlet 11 is provided at the top of the negative pressure box 01, and a negative pressure interface 12 is provided on the side. A filter plate is fixedly installed inside the negative pressure box 01, and the edge of the filter plate is connected to the inner wall of the negative pressure box 01. The plane where the filter plate and the negative pressure interface 12 are located is parallel.

[0015] The holes on the filter plate can separate algae from water, allowing the algae to fall through the algae outlet into the collection box 02; The algae outlet is located on the bottom right side of the negative pressure box 01, and the negative pressure box 01 is located on the top left side of the collection box 02, which allows the algae to fall into the middle of the collection box 02 and avoids blockage in the negative pressure box 01.

[0016] The collection box 02 is equipped with a transfer drawer 03. The transfer drawer 03 is placed inside the collection box 02, which allows algae to fall directly into the transfer drawer 03, thus facilitating the cleaning of the collection box 02.

[0017] The negative pressure box 01 is equipped with clamping plates 13, and the filter plate is placed between the two clamping plates 13. The two clamping plates 13 fix the filter plate, which can prevent algae from passing through the gap between the filter plate and the inner wall of the negative pressure box 01, thus protecting the negative pressure device from being entered by algae.

[0018] The collection box 02 has a latch 21 on each side, and the transfer drawer 03 has a locking tongue 32 on its outer side. The locking tongue 32 corresponds to the latch 21. This secures the collection box 02 and the transfer drawer 03, preventing the transfer drawer 03 from slipping off during collection.

[0019] The latch 21 is located on the middle edge of the side of the collection box 02, and the latch 32 is located on the middle side of the outer side of the transfer drawer 03. The latch 32 and the latch 21 are located in the middle, which allows for more even force distribution.

[0020] The transfer drawer 03 is equipped with casters at the bottom and a handle 31 on the outer side. This makes it easier to pull out and put in the transfer drawer 03.

[0022] ② Activate the negative pressure device. Algae and water flow into the negative pressure box 01, and the device begins filtration.

[0023] ③ The water is continuously filtered, and the water flows out through the negative pressure interface 12, while algae deposits are blocked outside the filter plate.

[0024] ④ After filtering for a period of time, algae deposits will accumulate in the negative pressure box 01. There is an algae outlet on the right side of the negative pressure box 01, and the algae deposits will fall into the transfer drawer 03.

[0025] ⑤ When the transfer drawer 03 is full of algae deposits, turn off the negative pressure device, open the lock 21, pull out the transfer drawer 03, and remove the collected material.

[0026] ⑥ Place the transfer drawer 03 back into the collection box 02, and repeat steps ②-⑤ above.

[0027] ⑦ After the water to be filtered is filtered, repeat step ⑤ to complete the filtration process.

[0028] Example 2: Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that multiple transfer boxes are set up, which can be replaced during operation, thereby improving the continuity of device use and improving work efficiency.
