Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ecological purification, in particular to a device capable of removing algae and automatically cleaning garbage on the water surface. Background Art
[0002] Over the years, the accumulation of garbage on the surface of rivers, lakes and reservoirs and the phenomenon of algal blooms have received widespread attention. Globally, 30% to 40% of lakes and reservoirs suffer from algal blooms caused by the accumulation of garbage on the surface of water and eutrophication of water bodies to varying degrees. A large number of studies have shown that the development of society, the increase in population, and the rapid development of economy and urban construction have caused waste from various sources to enter water bodies through different channels, leading to surface garbage pollution; the main factors that may affect the growth of algae are non-biological factors such as nutrients, temperature, light and hydrodynamic conditions, and biological factors such as zooplankton predation. It is urgent to study and understand the causes of surface garbage accumulation and algal blooms, formulate clearer goals for water pollution prevention and control in the basin, and then clean up surface garbage and prevent and control algal blooms. Research work has been carried out at home and abroad on related issues and various governance technologies have been adopted.
[0003] For example, the physical technology in the existing algae removal technology includes ultrasonic algae removal, filtration algae removal, microfiltration algae removal, shading technology algae removal, ultraviolet light irradiation algae removal, clay algae removal, etc. They have simple operating principles and can directly remove algae in the water without causing secondary pollution; the chemical technology in the existing algae removal technology includes chemical oxidation, coagulation algae removal, and photocatalytic oxidation algae removal. They have low cost, fast effect, and good effect; the biological technology in the existing algae removal technology includes aquatic higher plant algae control, aquatic animal algae control, allelopathic algae control, and microbial algae removal. They have good water body purification and ecological safety. The existing water surface garbage cleaning technology is mainly physical technology, including manual and surface device salvage, which are relatively mature, fast-acting, and efficient.
[0004] However, it has the following shortcomings: the existing physical algae removal technology is costly, uneconomical, and cannot fundamentally solve algae pollution. It is only suitable for the control of algae water bodies in a small area and has low efficiency; the existing chemical algae removal technology uses the same drug for a long time, and microorganisms will develop drug resistance. The added chemical algaecides will cause new pollution to the environment. The use of chemical preparations to remove algae introduces new chemical components into the water. Some of them are not only inhibitory to algae but also toxic to other organisms, which can easily form a vicious cycle; the existing biotechnology algae removal is slow to take effect, and microorganisms require different domestication and cultivation for different environments. Special personnel are required to operate, and the quality of microorganisms is difficult to guarantee. In addition, the existing algae removal technology still lacks a practical solution for local occasional algae blooms. The existing water surface garbage cleaning technology has a low level of automation; the range that can be cleaned is small and the efficiency is not high; the energy consumption is large and the waste of resources is serious; the garbage collection device has a small capacity and the garbage occupies a large space.
[0005] For example, CN217673112U discloses an aquatic algae removal device, which relates to the field of environmental protection technology. It includes a collecting device, a main engine, a hull and a driving device. The collecting device includes a collecting device conveyor belt and a collecting device collecting net. A nylon brush is arranged between the collecting device conveyor belt and the collecting device collecting net, and the nylon brush is located at the lower side of the collecting device conveyor belt; the driving device includes a driving device propeller. The utility model provides an aquatic algae removal device, which can be moved by personal operation or setting, has strong mobility and a wide operating range, saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and greatly improves the functional benefits of the product; this cleaning method is different from chemical and biological treatment methods, and will not cause secondary pollution to the water body or destroy the ecological balance, avoiding the problems caused by improper treatment of these two methods; however, the device can only clean up surface garbage or algae alone, and cannot clean up polluted water bodies enriched with surface garbage and algae, and cannot track and clean up algae, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency, low cleaning efficiency, and lack of comprehensive practicality.
[0006] For example, CN102020004B discloses a surface garbage cleaning ship, which adopts a catamaran design and is composed of a detection and navigation system, a collection system, a garbage disposal system, a garbage unloading system, and a propulsion system; it is divided into three working modes: free navigation mode, berthing operation mode, and non-berthing operation mode. The detection and navigation system detects the area with garbage on the water surface, and then autonomously navigates to work to achieve unmanned operation, full automation, good cleaning efficiency, strong flexibility, stable operation, safety and reliability. The bucket-type chain-net collection and transmission device designed can realize the combination of continuous and intermittent recovery, energy saving and high efficiency. At the same time, the device can be hydraulically driven up and down to change the amplitude, which can salvage floating objects at different water depths faster and more effectively. The designed satellite ship collaborative collection makes it more flexible and efficient. The floating objects and semi-floating objects on the shore are recovered on board by spraying water with a hydraulic rotary water gun; however, its structure is complex, the volume is large, the energy utilization efficiency is low, the energy is very clean, and it cannot track and clean the pollutants on the water surface.

[0044] The motion device is a propeller 6, which is fixed on both sides of the hull 5, connected to the battery through a power line, and connected to the control system through a signal line;
[0045] The garbage collection device 8 comprises an algae attachment blanket 81, a conveyor belt 82, an algae filter 83 and a retractable scraper 84. The conveyor belt 82 is tilted and fixed at the front end of the frame 3. The algae attachment blanket 81 is detachably mounted on the conveyor belt 82. The retractable scraper 84 is mounted on the back of the conveyor belt 82 and is detachably fixed to the rear end of the conveyor belt 82. The algae filter 83 is mounted and fixed on the back of the conveyor belt 82 and is connected to the front end of the conveyor belt 82 and is fixed to the end points on both sides of the conveyor belt 82. A conveying motor 85 is arranged on the conveyor belt 82, and the conveying motor 85 is connected to the battery through a power line.
[0046] The conveyor belt 82 is provided with a guide rail 86 on the back side, and the retractable scraper 84 is mounted on the guide rail 86 and moves freely on the guide rail 86. The guide rail 86 is mounted on a crossbeam 87, and both ends of the crossbeam 87 are fixed to the fixed piles of the conveyor belt 82. The length of the fixed piles of the conveyor belt 82 is consistent with the extended length of the retractable scraper 84.

[0047] The garbage collection device 8 further includes a garbage collection box 89 , which is mounted and fixed on the hull 5 and communicated with the conveyor belt 82 .
[0048] In specific use, a method for both algae removal and automatic cleaning of water surface garbage is to use a device for both algae removal and automatic cleaning of water surface garbage as described in any one of the above, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0049] Step 1: First, assemble a device that combines the frame 3, the garbage collection device 8, the motion device and the control system to remove algae and automatically clean up garbage on the water surface, and place it on the water surface stably, so that the solar panel 1 is exposed above the water surface, and the front end of the conveyor belt 82 and half of the propeller 6 are submerged in the water;
[0050] Step 2: Start the device on the user terminal, debug and check the device operation. If the device is running normally, control the device through the user terminal to start operation. If the device cannot run normally, shut it down through the user terminal for inspection and repair until it is put into use after passing the debugging.
[0051] Step 3: The light-sensing camera 7 receives different signals of light caused by the presence or absence of algae on the water surface, and transmits the signal to the control system. The control system locates the algae through the image processing algorithm, and converts the signal into a motion command, controls the propeller 6 to move the device to the algae-dense area to operate, and the conveyor belt 82 device starts working after being turned on, so that the algae attachment blanket 81 of the conveyor belt 82 continuously collects algae and surface garbage from the water surface. The algae attaches to the algae attachment blanket 81, moves with the conveyor belt 82 to the back of the conveyor belt 82, and is scraped off by the retractable scraper 84 and falls into the algae filter 83. The surface garbage is transported to the surface garbage collection box 89 through the conveyor belt 82;
[0052] Step 4: The retractable scraper 84 moves from the middle of the beam 87 to the two ends of the beam 87. The scraper starts to scrape from the middle of the blanket to both sides. When moving to the two ends of the beam 87, the scraper extends, so that the blade part is away from the beam 87 and returns to the middle position of the beam 87. In the process of moving to the two ends of the beam 87, the scraper blade is always in contact with the algae attachment blanket 81, and the algae on the blanket are scraped off into the algae filter 83. When the scraper returns to the middle position of the beam 87, the scraper contracts, so that the blade moves from not contacting the algae attachment blanket 81 to contacting the algae attachment blanket (81), and then starts scraping from the middle again;
[0053] Step 5: After the device automatically operates for a period of time, the user terminal stops the operation of the device, and tracks the recovery device according to the positioning signal of the positioning device 4, and cleans the device, the algae collected by the algae filter 83 and the surface garbage collected by the garbage collection box 89;
[0054] Step 6: When the solar battery power alarm sounds, the information of insufficient power will be transmitted to the user terminal, and the battery will be replaced according to the positioning signal of the positioning device 4;
[0055] Step 7: When the user needs to perform maintenance and recycling operations on the device in an environment with low visibility, a signal is sent to the control system through the user terminal to turn on the LED light 2 to perform the operation.
[0056] In the preferred solution, the solar panel 1 is connected to a battery, the battery is installed and fixed on the hull 5, and is provided with a power alarm. The battery is connected to the control system through a power line, and the control system is connected to the user terminal.
