Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of river channel construction, and more specifically to a device for collecting floating objects in a river channel. Background Art
[0002] River floating objects refer to objects floating in rivers, lakes and other water bodies. River floating objects not only affect the physical form and aesthetics of the river, but may also have a significant impact on the river ecosystem.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN220377235U discloses a device for collecting floating objects in river channels, which belongs to the field of river channel construction technology. It includes an interception block, a connecting component and a garbage moving component. The interception block is arranged in an elongated strip shape, and a driving cavity is provided in the interception block. The driving cavity extends in the same direction as the interception block. The garbage moving component is installed in the driving cavity, and the outer top of the interception block is arranged as a curved surface. The utility model uses a buffer block to abut against a passing ship, causing the buffer block to flip along the hinge. During the flipping process, the torsion spring is compressed, offsetting part of the impact force of the ship, thereby reducing the impact force of the ship's bottom on the interception block, effectively protecting the safety of the interception block and increasing the service life of the interception block.
[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: although the collection device effectively protects the safety of the interception block and increases the service life of the interception block, it is unable to collect floating objects according to their specific locations during use. If the device cannot accurately locate the floating objects, it is necessary to conduct a blind search over a larger range, which will undoubtedly increase the time and manpower required for collection, resulting in low collection efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] See also Figure 1-6 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0032] A river floating object collection device includes a collection box 1, a locator 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the collection box 1, a camera 6 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the collection box 1, a fixing frame 10 is fixedly connected to the interior of the collection box 1, and two propellers 3 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixing frame 10. A collection shell 20 is provided inside the collection box 1, and the bottom of the collection shell 20 is open. The bottom of the collection shell 20 is provided with a bottom plate 9, and a weight sensor 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom plate 9. The device also includes:
[0033] The conveying assembly is located inside the collecting box 1 and is used to collect floating debris from the river into the collecting shell 20;
[0034] A drive assembly, which is located inside the fixing frame 10 and is used to drive the two propellers 3 to move to the floating objects in the river;
[0035] A discharge assembly, located on the outer surface of the collection shell 20, is used to dump floating objects in the inner channel of the collection shell 20;
[0036] PLC controller 18 is fixedly installed inside the collection box 1. PLC controller 18 is used to drive the conveying component, driving component and discharge component program. PLC controller 18 is electrically connected to the locator 2, camera 6 and weight sensor 23. Camera 6 detects the river environment and transmits a signal to PLC controller 18 when floating objects are detected.
[0037] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt 4, a connecting plate 5, a conveyor roller 7 and a first motor 8. The internal rotation of the collection box 1 is connected to a plurality of equally distributed conveyor rollers 7, and the plurality of conveyor rollers 7 are arranged at an angle. The conveyor belt 4 is sleeved between the plurality of conveyor rollers 7. The internal rotation of the collection box 1 is connected to the first motor 8. The output end of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the adjacent conveyor roller 7. The PLC controller 18 starts the first motor 8, and the first motor 8 drives the conveyor roller 7 connected thereto to rotate. Since the conveyor belt 4 is sleeved between the conveyor rollers 7, the conveyor belt 4 also starts to move.
[0038] Furthermore, the outer surface of the conveyor belt 4 is fixedly connected to a plurality of equidistantly distributed connecting plates 5. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 4 is fixed to a plurality of equidistantly distributed connecting plates 5. These connecting plates 5 help to increase the contact area with the floating objects, more effectively pick up the floating objects from the river channel and transport them to the collection shell 20.
[0039] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a first bevel gear 12, a second bevel gear 13, a third bevel gear 14, a fourth bevel gear 15, a connecting shaft 16 and a second motor 17. The internal rotation of the fixed frame 10 is connected to two symmetrically distributed first bevel gears 12. The two first bevel gears 12 are fixedly connected to the corresponding propellers 3. The outer surfaces of the two first bevel gears 12 are vertically meshed with the second bevel gears 13. The tops of the two second bevel gears 13 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The tops of the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the third bevel gears 14. The outer surfaces of the two third bevel gears 14 are vertically meshed with the fourth bevel gears 15. The two fourth bevel gears 15 are fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 16. The second motor is fixedly installed inside the collection box 1. 17. The output end of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 16. The PLC controller 18 controls the start of the second motor 17 after receiving the signal. The output end of the second motor 17 is connected to the connecting shaft 16. Two fourth bevel gears 15 are fixed on the connecting shaft 16. The two fourth bevel gears 15 are respectively vertically meshed with the two third bevel gears 14, and the third bevel gears 14 are connected to the second bevel gear 13 through the rotating shaft. The second bevel gear 13 is vertically meshed with the first bevel gear 12 where the propeller 3 is located. Therefore, when the second motor 17 rotates, it will drive the two propellers 3 through a series of gears to start rotating. The thrust generated by the rotation of the propeller 3 pushes the collection box 1 to move toward the floating objects, ensuring that the floating objects can be collected more effectively.
[0040] Furthermore, the second bevel gear 13 , the third bevel gear 14 and the fourth bevel gear 15 are all located inside the fixing frame 10 and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 10 . The fixing frame 10 is used to protect the various bevel gears.
[0041] Furthermore, the discharge assembly includes a sealing box 11, a third motor 19 and a fixed shaft 22. The bottom plate 9 is movably fitted with the inner wall of the collecting shell 20. The interior of the bottom plate 9 is fixedly connected with the fixed shaft 22, and the fixed shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the collecting shell 20. The outer surface of the collecting shell 20 is fixedly connected with the sealing box 11. The interior of the sealing box 11 is fixedly installed with the third motor 19. The output end of the third motor 19 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 22. The PLC controller 18 will receive a signal from the weight sensor 23 and control the start of the third motor 19. The output end of the third motor 19 is connected to the fixed shaft 22 inside the bottom plate 9. Therefore, when the third motor 19 rotates, it will drive the bottom plate 9 to rotate around the fixed shaft 22. Since the bottom plate 9 is movably fitted with the inner wall of the collecting shell 20, when the bottom plate 9 is tilted, the floating objects in the collecting shell 20 will be discharged.
[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of equally spaced through holes 21 are provided on the outer surface of the bottom plate 9 , and the through holes 21 are used to discharge water from the river.
[0043] Working principle: When the staff needs to use the river floating object collection device, the camera 6 detects the river environment. When floating objects are detected, the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller 18. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 18 controls the start of the second motor 17. The output end of the second motor 17 is connected to the connecting shaft 16. Two fourth bevel gears 15 are fixed on the connecting shaft 16. The two fourth bevel gears 15 are respectively vertically meshed with the two third bevel gears 14, and the third bevel gear 14 is connected to the second bevel gear 13 through a rotating shaft. The second bevel gear 13 is vertically meshed with the first bevel gear 12 where the propeller 3 is located. Therefore, when the second motor 17 rotates, it will cause the two propellers 3 to start rotating through a series of gear transmissions. The thrust generated by the rotation of the propeller 3 pushes the collection box 1 to move towards the floating objects, ensuring that the floating objects can be collected more effectively. The locator 2 is used to track the collection box 1 in real time. By tracking the position of the collection box 1 in real time, the operator can flexibly adjust the working route and speed of the device according to the distribution of floating objects in the river. The PLC controller 18 then activates the first motor 8, which drives the connected conveyor rollers 7 to rotate. Since the conveyor belt 4 is sleeved between the conveyor rollers 7, the conveyor belt 4 also begins to move. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 4 is fixed with multiple equidistant connecting plates 5. These connecting plates 5 help increase the contact area with floating objects, more effectively scooping floating objects from the river channel and transporting them to the collection shell 20. The conveyor rollers 7 are tilted to ensure that floating objects can be smoothly transported to the collection shell 20. When the floating objects in the collection shell 20 reach a certain amount, the PLC controller 18 receives a signal from the weight sensor 23 and controls the activation of the third motor 19. The output end of the third motor 19 is connected to the fixed shaft 22 inside the bottom plate 9. Therefore, when the third motor 19 rotates, it drives the bottom plate 9 to rotate about the fixed shaft 22. Since the bottom plate 9 is in flexible contact with the inner wall of the collection shell 20, when the bottom plate 9 tilts, the floating objects in the collection shell 20 are discharged. The through hole 21 is provided to drain water from the river channel.
