DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The automatic surface garbage collection device of the utility model comprises a collecting wheel module assembly 1, a conveyor belt module assembly 2, a garbage storage box 3 and a propeller mechanism 4. The collecting wheel module assembly 1 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the hull 5 respectively. The hull 5 adopts a double-ship structure with symmetrical arrangement on both sides and an empty middle part, which runs smoothly and makes the collection work efficient and reliable. The conveyor belt module assembly 2 is arranged in the middle position of the hull 5, and the garbage storage box 3 is arranged at the rear end of the hull 5. The garbage storage box 3 is a movable and detachable structure, which is convenient for expanding the capacity. The propeller mechanism 4 is arranged on both sides and the rear end of the hull 5. Each propeller mechanism 4 is connected with a DC motor to ensure that it can operate efficiently in various water surface environments. When there is a difference in the motor speed of the propeller mechanisms 4 on the left and right sides, the hull 5 will naturally turn to the side with a slower speed. A hydraulic component 6 is provided in the garbage storage box 3 for compressing the garbage in the garbage storage box 3. The top ends of the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 are connected by a meshing reversing mechanism 7. The first bevel gear 71 of the reversing mechanism 7 rotates to drive the second bevel gears 11 at the top ends of the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 to rotate in opposite directions, respectively, driving the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 to rotate in opposite directions (such as the left collecting wheel module assembly 1 rotates clockwise, and the right collecting wheel module assembly 1 rotates counterclockwise) to effectively guide the surface garbage to the center of the hull 5, and centrally transmit it to the garbage storage box 3 through the conveyor belt module assembly 2.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 An upper collecting bracket 12 is provided on the collecting wheel module assembly 1, the second bevel gear 11 is connected to the top of the upper collecting bracket 12 through the collecting shaft 13, the lower part of the upper collecting bracket 12 is connected to the lower collecting bracket 14 through the collecting shaft 13, and several fins 16 are connected between the upper collecting bracket 12 and the lower collecting bracket 14 through several rotating shafts 15. The upper collecting bracket 12 and the lower collecting bracket 14 are connected to the front end of the hull 5, and the rotation of the second bevel gear 11 causes the collecting shaft 13 to rotate, driving the fins 16 to rotate and guide the garbage to the center of the hull 5.

[0024] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 A conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the conveyor belt module assembly 2 through a driving roller 21 and a passive roller 22. The driving roller 21 and the passive roller 22 are respectively connected to the rear upper end and the front lower end of the center of the hull 5 through a conveyor line bearing seat 24. A number of barbs 25 are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt 23 for transporting garbage and preventing garbage from sliding down, which is particularly suitable for transporting bottle garbage. A drainage hole 26 is also provided on the conveyor belt 23 for separating garbage and water, which not only reduces the working intensity of the conveyor belt, but also reduces the bearing pressure on the surface of the hull 5. The driving roller 21 and the passive roller 22 are both connected to a DC reduction motor.

[0025] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4A bevel gear shaft 72 is provided on the reversing mechanism 7, and two first bevel gears 71 are provided. The two first bevel gears 71 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the bevel gear shaft 72, and reversing bearing seats 73 are respectively provided on the inner sides of the two first bevel gears 71. One end of the two reversing bearing seats 73 is sleeved on the bevel gear shaft 72, and the other ends of the two reversing bearing seats 73 are respectively connected to the top of the two groups of collecting wheel module assemblies 1. A pulley 74 is also sleeved on the bevel gear shaft 72, and the pulley 74 is connected to the transmission roller 21 through a transmission rope 75. When the transmission roller 21 rotates, the pulley 74 is driven to rotate through the transmission rope 75, which drives the bevel gear shaft 72 to rotate, and drives the first bevel gears 71 at both ends to rotate.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 A frame 61 is provided on the hydraulic assembly 6, a crossbeam 62 is provided on the top of the frame 61, a hydraulic cylinder 63 is provided on the crossbeam 62, the hydraulic cylinder 63 is connected to a piston rod 64, and a pressure head 65 is connected to the bottom of the piston rod 64 for squeezing garbage. The frame 61 is tightly combined with the welding connecting plate and the screws to firmly fix the hydraulic cylinder 63 to ensure its stability during work.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 A solar panel 8 is also provided on the hull 5, and the solar panel 8 is arranged above the garbage storage box 3. The device adopts a solar lithium power supply system, and its core is a lithium-ion battery as an energy storage device. In some special situations, if the energy of the hull 5 is exhausted during water operations and it is difficult to retrieve, the solar panel 8 can play a key role to ensure effective energy collection, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the equipment. A movable panel 31 is provided in the garbage storage box 3 for movable disassembly to expand the garbage storage space.

[0028] A visual sensor is also provided at the front end of the hull 5 for identifying garbage on the water surface and transmitting information to the built-in machine system of the hull 5. The built-in machine system compares and matches the image information transmitted by the visual sensor through various types of garbage image templates preset internally. An ultrasonic sensor is also provided on the hull 5 for accurately determining the specific location of the garbage and transmitting the location information to the built-in machine system of the hull 5 to enable the hull 5 to self-navigate to the positioning point, and trigger the start switch of the built-in garbage collection device. The technology combining the visual sensor and the ultrasonic sensor is an existing technology and will not be described in detail (such as the patent with announcement number CN22101176U).

[0029] Working principle: the hull 5 identifies garbage through visual sensors and transmits garbage image information to the built-in machine system. The built-in machine system compares and matches the image information transmitted by the visual sensor through various garbage image templates preset internally. After the match is successful, the specific location of the garbage is determined by the ultrasonic sensor and the location information is transmitted to the built-in machine system of the hull 5, prompting the hull 5 to self-navigate and drive the propeller mechanism 4 to rotate and sail to the positioning point through the DC motor, and trigger the built-in garbage collection device start switch to start;

[0030] The DC reduction motor of the conveyor belt module assembly 2 drives the driving roller 21 and the passive roller 22 to rotate, driving the conveyor belt 23 to rotate in a circular manner. The driving roller 21 rotates and drives the pulley 74 to rotate through the transmission rope 75, drives the bevel gear shaft 72 to rotate, drives the first bevel gears 71 at both ends to rotate, drives the second bevel gears 11 on the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 to rotate in opposite directions, drives the collection shafts 13 on the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 to rotate in opposite directions, drives the fins 16 on the two sets of collecting wheel module assemblies 1 to rotate in opposite directions, and guides the garbage to the central position of the hull 5;

[0031] The garbage collected in the center is transferred to the garbage storage box 3 through the conveyor belt 23. The barbs 25 on the conveyor belt 23 effectively hold the garbage. As the conveyor belt 23 moves, the garbage is thrown into the garbage storage box 3. The garbage is effectively drained through the drainage holes 26 on the conveyor belt 23. The hydraulic cylinder 63 on the hydraulic assembly 6 drives the piston rod 64 to extend and retract up and down, driving the pressure head 65 to move up and down to squeeze the garbage in the garbage storage box 3.

[0032] If the machine system fails to successfully match the template, the hull 5 will continue to cruise in the water according to the originally set navigation strategy to search for and identify the next garbage target; once it is detected that the garbage storage box 3 has reached the upper limit of capacity, the device will immediately suspend the cleaning operation and automatically return to the initially set starting point; if there is still remaining space in the garbage storage box 3, the device will evaluate the subsequent garbage collection strategy based on the distance between the current position and the preset navigation end point: if it has not arrived yet, the hull 5 will continue to cruise according to the established navigation plan until the garbage is successfully found or the end point is finally reached; if the navigation end point has been reached, the device will terminate the operation and return to the starting point.

[0033] In summary: the automatic surface garbage collection device of the utility model relies on the propeller mechanism 4 as the driving force to push the hull 5 to sail on the water surface. The left and right propeller mechanisms 4 are respectively equipped with a DC motor to ensure that they can operate efficiently in various water surface environments. When there is a difference in the rotation speed of the left and right motors, the hull 5 will naturally turn to the side with a slower rotation speed. At the same time, the collection wheel module assembly 1 and the reversing mechanism 7 are used to gather the scattered floating garbage to the center of the hull 5, and then the garbage is lifted from the water surface to the garbage storage box 3 through the efficient conveyor belt module assembly 2. During the storage process, the garbage in the garbage storage box 3 is compressed by the hydraulic assembly 6, which significantly improves the processing efficiency and recycling effect of floating garbage on the water surface, and the automatic collection of garbage also saves labor costs.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
