Description

Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the technical field of water surface cleaning equipment, and in particular relates to a floating aquatic plant collection device. Background Technology

[0004] In recent years, the problem of floating aquatic plants in lakes, rivers, scenic water areas, and aquaculture areas has attracted widespread attention. With the increasing demand for aquatic ecological protection and environmental management, the impact of floating aquatic plants on the aquatic landscape and navigation environment is becoming increasingly serious. The large accumulation of floating aquatic plants on the water surface not only affects the aquatic landscape but may also block local water areas, affecting water flow and water use.

[0005] Currently, the development of floating aquatic plant collection equipment in my country is relatively slow, and there are relatively few types of existing small-scale floating aquatic plant collection equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating aquatic plant collection device, which is an auxiliary operation device for cleaning floating aquatic plants on the water surface. Its function is to guide, lift, collect and store aquatic plants floating on the surface of lakes, rivers and landscape waters, so as to improve the aquatic environment.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs a floating aquatic plant collection device, comprising a floating hull, a top mounting plate, a support frame, a floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism, a propulsion assembly, a transverse connecting rod, a collection frame, a guide bracket, a guide plate, and a camera assembly. The top mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the floating hull, the support frame is fixedly connected between the floating hull and the top mounting plate, the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism is inclinedly disposed on one side of the top mounting plate, the transverse connecting rod is fixedly connected between the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism and the floating hull, the propulsion assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the top mounting plate, the collection frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the floating hull, the guide bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the floating hull, the guide plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide bracket, and the camera assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the top mounting plate.

[0009] The floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame, drive rollers, a conveyor belt, and multiple weed-removing plates. The drive rollers are respectively disposed at both ends of the conveyor frame, the conveyor belt is sleeved between the two drive rollers, and the multiple weed-removing plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor belt and are spaced apart along the length of the conveyor belt.

[0010] The propulsion assembly includes two propulsion propellers, which are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top mounting plate.

[0012] The collection frame is a mesh frame structure, located at the lower middle part of the bottom of the floating body, and is used to receive floating aquatic plants after being transported by the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism.

[0013] The guide bracket and the guide plate together form a guide structure. The guide plate is located in a working position close to the water surface and is used to gather and guide the floating aquatic plants to the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism during the forward movement of the device.

[0014] The camera assembly is mounted on the top of the top mounting plate and located near the rear of the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism, for observing the distribution of floating aquatic plants on the water surface and the working status of the device.

[0015] The present invention discloses a floating aquatic plant collection device, which, under the drive of the propulsion component, controls the floating body to move on the water surface while the guide plate guides the floating aquatic plants, and then uses the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism to lift and convey the floating aquatic plants, and achieves continuous collection through the collection frame.

The drive rollers 6 are installed at both ends of the lifting and conveying frame, and the conveyor belt is wound around the outside of the drive rollers 6 at both ends. The weed-pulling plate 5 is fixed to the outside of the conveyor belt and is used to pull and lift the floating aquatic plants when the conveyor belt moves.

[0026] The transverse connecting rod 8 connects the floating weed lifting and conveying mechanism 4 and the floating hull 1 to improve the installation stability of the lifting and conveying mechanism.

[0031] When collecting floating aquatic plants, the propulsion component 7 drives the floating hull 1 to advance in front of the water. The guide plate 11 guides the floating aquatic plants to the front of the device. After the floating aquatic plants enter the working area of ​​the floating aquatic plant lifting and conveying mechanism 4, the guide plate 5 moves with the conveyor belt to lift and transport the floating aquatic plants upward in the inclined direction, and finally puts them into the collection frame 9 to complete the collection.

[0032] During operation, the camera component 12 can observe the distribution of floating aquatic plants on the water surface in front of the device and the lifting and conveying area in real time, which facilitates the judgment of the operation status.
