[0002] Water hyacinth is a floating herb that reproduces quickly. It is often the case that the salvage speed cannot keep up with the growth rate of the water hyacinth. The excessive growth of water hyacinth restricts the flow of water. The water body is deprived of sunlight and becomes smelly, which reduces the dissolved oxygen content in the water body, inhibits the growth of plankton, destroys the ecological environment of rivers, blocks waterways, affects shipping and excretion, and becomes the number one enemy of agriculture, water conservancy, and environmental protection.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent discloses a water hyacinth cutting and salvaging equipment for river environmental protection cleaning (authorization announcement number CN210053883U), including a salvage rod, a support handle is fixedly provided at one end of the salvage rod, a salvage rake is fixedly provided at the end of the salvage rod away from the support handle, and a water hyacinth cutting device is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the salvage rod. Although the patented technology can drive the transmission rod to rotate through the rotation of the motor rotor, through the engagement of the first planetary gear and the second planetary gear, the rotation of the transmission rod drives the rotation of the rotating rod, thereby driving the cutting blade to cut the water hyacinth, and then the water hyacinth is salvaged by the salvage rake, and the salvage cross bar arranged on the salvage rake can support the cut water hyacinth, thereby improving the salvage efficiency.

[0004] However, the above device still has some shortcomings in actual use. The most obvious one is that there are often floating water hyacinths in the above river channels. Since water hyacinths grow in patches, it is very troublesome to salvage them. The above device needs to be salvaged manually with a salvage rod, and the salvaged water hyacinths are very heavy, which increases the workload.
