Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chlorophyll detection, in particular to a chlorophyll detector. Background Art
[0002] Water bloom, also known as algal bloom, is a natural ecological phenomenon in which algae reproduce in large numbers in water bodies, and is a characteristic of eutrophication of water bodies. This phenomenon usually occurs in static water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs, which not only affects water quality and the health of the ecosystem, but may also have a negative impact on human health and socio-economic activities. Therefore, controlling and preventing the occurrence of water blooms is an important issue in environmental protection and water resources management.
[0003] In order to control algal blooms, it is usually necessary to salvage overgrown algae to remove and reduce the algae in the water and mitigate the environmental and health impacts of algal blooms. Manual salvage and salvage by cleaning boats are currently the more common salvage methods for overgrown algae. However, manual salvage of algae is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Therefore, automatic salvage of algae by cleaning boats and other cleaning equipment is a more convenient option. However, when salvaging algae, how to detect whether there is algae, search for algae aggregation locations, and then move to the algae aggregation locations becomes a problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a chlorophyll detector to detect whether there are plants or algae in the surrounding area.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A chlorophyll detector comprises a signal receiving board, a cathode electrode column, an anode electrode column and a detector, wherein the cathode electrode column is electrically connected to the signal receiving board, the anode electrode column is electrically connected to the cathode electrode column and the signal receiving board respectively, and the outer surface of the anode electrode column carries aerobic electricity-producing bacteria, the detector is arranged between the anode electrode column and the cathode electrode column or between the anode electrode column and the signal receiving board, and is used to monitor electrical signals.
[0007] Furthermore, there are at least two anode electrode columns, which are arranged around the cathode electrode column, and the detector is arranged corresponding to the anode electrode columns one by one.
[0008] Furthermore, the anode electrode columns are evenly arranged outside the cathode electrode columns.
[0009] Furthermore, there is one cathode electrode column and eight anode electrode columns.
[0010] Furthermore, the detector is a current detector.
[0011] Furthermore, the detector is arranged between the anode electrode column and the cathode electrode column.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a protective net, and the protective net cover is arranged on the outer sides of the cathode electrode column and the anode electrode column.
[0013] Furthermore, the protective net is a gauze net.
[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The utility model utilizes the working principle of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and the characteristics of aerobic electricity-generating bacteria to detect whether there are plants or algae with chlorophyll and photosynthesis in the surrounding area. When there are plants or algae in the surrounding area, the aerobic electricity-generating bacteria attached to the anode electrode column can use the oxygen produced by the photosynthesis of the plants or algae to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. At the same time, a detector arranged between the anode electrode column and the cathode electrode column or the signal receiving board can monitor the electrical signal to determine whether electricity is generated. The combination of the two can achieve the purpose of detecting whether there are plants or algae in the surrounding area.
[0016] 2. When multiple anode electrode columns are set, the aggregation of plants and algae around each anode electrode column can be roughly determined, which helps to detect the direction where plants and algae are more concentrated. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model discloses a chlorophyll detector, comprising a signal receiving board 1, a cathode electrode column 2, an anode electrode column 3 and a detector (not shown). The cathode electrode column 2 is electrically connected to the signal receiving board 1, and the anode electrode column 3 is electrically connected to the cathode electrode column 2 and the signal receiving board 1 respectively, and the outer surface of the anode electrode column 3 carries aerobic electricity-producing bacteria. The detector is arranged between the anode electrode column 3 and the cathode electrode column 2 or between the anode electrode column 3 and the signal receiving board 1, and is used to monitor the electrical signal.
[0023] Among them, the anode electrode column 3, the cathode electrode column 2 and the signal receiving board 1 are connected by a wire 4 to form a conductive loop. The aerobic electrogenic bacteria attached to the anode electrode column 3 can use the oxygen produced by photosynthesis of plants or algae to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, and the generated electrical signal can be transmitted to the signal receiver through the anode electrode column 3. The detector set on the conductive loop can monitor the electrical signal to determine whether the aerobic electrogenic bacteria produce electricity, and then determine whether there are organisms with chlorophyll and photosynthesis near the anode electrode column 3, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting whether there are plants and algae in the surrounding area. Preferably, the detector uses a current detector to monitor the current size in order to check the power generation situation.
[0024] Based on the function of detecting whether there are plants or algae around, at least two anode electrode columns 3 are provided, and they are arranged around the cathode electrode column 2, and the detector is arranged one by one with the anode electrode columns 3. The anode electrode columns 3 located at different positions form relatively independent conductive loops with the cathode electrode column 2, and the detector is arranged one by one with the anode electrode columns 3, and the changes of electrical signals on each conductive loop can be monitored respectively. By comparing the electrical signals on each conductive loop, the gathering of plants and algae around each anode electrode column 3 can be roughly judged, which helps to judge the direction approaching the gathering place of plants and algae.
[0025] Preferably, the anode electrode column 3 is evenly arranged outside the cathode electrode column 2. The evenly arranged anode electrode columns 3 correspond to multiple directions around the cathode electrode column 2, which is convenient for comprehensive exploration. In this embodiment, one cathode electrode column 2 is provided, and eight anode electrode columns 3 are provided and evenly arranged around the cathode electrode column 2. The eight anode electrode columns 3 are respectively connected to the cathode electrode column 2 and the signal receiving board 1. The detector is arranged between the anode electrode column 3 and the cathode electrode column 2.
[0026] In addition, the detector is also provided with a protective net 5. The protective net 5 is provided on the outside of the cathode electrode column 2 and the anode electrode column 3, and can protect the cathode electrode column 2 and the anode electrode column 3 to prevent them from being entangled by debris when the detector moves. When a hard protective net 5 is selected, the anode electrode column 3 and the cathode electrode column 2 can also be prevented from colliding and being damaged during the movement of the detector. Preferably, the protective net 5 is made of gauze, which has finer mesh and better filtering and protection effects.
[0027] In summary, the detector utilizes the working principle of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and the characteristics of aerobic electricity-producing bacteria, and monitors the electricity production of aerobic electricity-producing bacteria, and can detect whether there are plants or algae around the anode electrode column 3. In the case of multiple anode electrode columns 3, combined with the regular arrangement of the anode electrode columns 3, it is also helpful to determine the direction where plants and algae gather more, and is particularly suitable for cleaning algae with cleaning equipment and controlling water blooms.
