Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water surface garbage cleaning equipment, and in particular to a novel water surface garbage cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued vigorous development of the national economy and the accelerating pace of urbanization and industrialization, this trend has greatly promoted social progress, resulting in an unprecedented leap in the quality of life for the people. Significant improvements have been made in living conditions, education levels, and healthcare. However, the protection of the aquatic environment currently faces severe challenges, with surface debris being particularly prominent. This debris mainly includes naturally fallen leaves and white plastic waste generated from daily life, such as plastic bags and bottles—items that are difficult to degrade. This waste not only affects the aesthetics of water bodies but, more seriously, poses a threat to aquatic ecosystems, disrupts ecological balance, affects water quality safety, and may subsequently have long-term adverse effects on human health. Therefore, strengthening public environmental awareness education, promoting waste sorting and recycling systems, and taking effective measures to clean up surface debris have become urgent priorities.

[0003] For example, a surface garbage cleaning device with publication number CN215562478U includes a shell, a collection mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a drainage mechanism. The collection mechanism includes a float and a collection bucket. A cavity is formed inside the shell, and an opening is formed at one end of the shell, which communicates with the cavity. The collection bucket is movably disposed inside the cavity, and at least part of the collection bucket passes through the opening and is located outside the cavity. A waterproof ring is provided between the collection bucket and the side wall of the opening. The float is arranged around the side wall of the collection bucket located outside the cavity, and the side wall of the collection bucket is connected to the float. The lifting mechanism is disposed inside the cavity and is used to drive the collection bucket to slide inside the cavity. The drainage mechanism is disposed inside the cavity and is used to drain the water in the collection bucket to the outside of the shell.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 A novel water surface garbage cleaning robot includes an electric hull 1 and a collection box 2 fixed inside the electric hull 1. A garbage collection mechanism is installed between the collection box 2 and the electric hull 1. The garbage collection mechanism includes a first hydraulic rod 3, a collection port 4, a bottom support plate 5, a bearing plate 6, and a cooperating component. The first hydraulic rod 3 is fixed on both sides inside the collection box 2. A collection port 4 is opened at one end of the collection box 2. A bottom support plate 5 is fixed to the output end of the two first hydraulic rods 3. The bottom support plate 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the collection box 2. The bearing plate 6 is rotatably connected to the top end of the bottom support plate 5. A cooperating component is installed between the bearing plate 6 and the collection box 2. The electric hull 1 is of the DFBJ110 type. Its driving principle on the water surface is a conventional method or common knowledge, and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The supporting components include axles 7, notches 8, obstruction protrusions 9, and a collection box 10. Two axles 7 are fixed to one end of the bearing plate 6, and guide wheels are rotatably connected to one end of each axle 7. The collection box 2 has a notch 8 at the end away from the collection port 4. Two obstruction protrusions 9 corresponding to the positions of the guide wheels are fixed to one end of the inner side of the collection box 2 near the notch 8. The collection box 10 is fixed to one end of the collection box 2 near the notch 8. The collection box 10 is fixed to the electric boat body 1. It can be understood that a disposable mesh bag is placed inside the collection box 10. The opening size of the disposable mesh bag is the same as the opening size of the top of the collection box 10, which makes it easy to collect garbage in the disposable mesh bag and facilitates quick transfer by the staff.

[0029] An equipment box 11 is fixed to one end of the electric hull 1. An auxiliary mechanism is installed inside the equipment box 11 to convey the garbage inside the collection box 10. The auxiliary mechanism includes a waterproof motor 12, a first positioning roller 13, a second positioning roller 14, a third positioning roller 15, a conveyor belt 16, and an adjustment component. The waterproof motor 12 is fixed to one side of the equipment box 11. The first positioning roller 13, the second positioning roller 14, and the third positioning roller 15 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the equipment box 11. The output end of the waterproof motor 12 passes through the equipment box 11 and is fixed to the first positioning roller 13. The outer sides of the first positioning roller 13, the second positioning roller 14, and the third positioning roller 15 are connected by the conveyor belt 16. An adjustment component is installed between the inside of the equipment box 11 and the conveyor belt 16. When the waterproof motor 12 is started, the output end of the waterproof motor 12 drives the first positioning roller 13 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 16 transports the garbage to the shore.

[0030] The adjustment assembly includes a second hydraulic rod 17, an extension frame 18, a first movable roller 19, and a second movable roller 20. The second hydraulic rod 17 is fixed to one end of the inner side of the equipment box 11, and the extension frame 18 is fixed to the output end of the second hydraulic rod 17.

The second movable roller 20 and the first movable roller 19 are also connected to the first positioning roller 13, the second positioning roller 14, and the third positioning roller 15 via the conveyor belt 16. It can be understood that when the extension frame 18 moves, the positions of the second movable roller 20 and the first movable roller 19 are changed, and the conveyor belt 16 is in a slightly taut state.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Further optimizations to Example 1, specifically, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a U-shaped frame is fixed to the top of the electric boat hull 1, and a monitor 21 is fixed to the top of the U-shaped frame. A wireless communication transceiver 22 and a controller 23 are fixed to one side of the U-shaped frame.

The monitor 21 is a network camera, the wireless communication transceiver 22 is a 4G / 5G router or module, and the controller 23 is an STM32. The monitor 21 captures water surface images in real time and transmits the signals to the controller 23. After processing the signals, the controller 23 sends the video signals to a smart terminal through the wireless communication transceiver 22. Staff can view the real-time images through the smart terminal and perform remote monitoring and control operations as needed, which facilitates quick understanding of the water surface status. The smart terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, etc.

[0033] In summary:

[0034] This utility model addresses the technical problem that, while existing technologies can clean up surface debris, the cleaning area is limited, and a new collection net needs to be replaced after each cleaning. The present invention employs the technical solutions described in the above embodiments. Furthermore, the implementation process of the above technical solutions is as follows:

[0035] During use, the electric boat 1 is first started. When the electric boat 1 moves on the water, the garbage on the water surface enters the collection box 2 through the collection port 4 and continuously accumulates on the top of the support plate 6. When a certain amount of garbage has accumulated, the first hydraulic rod 3 is started. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 3 pulls the bottom support plate 5 to move upward along the inside of the collection box 2. During the upward movement, the water on the garbage is diverted to the water surface. When the guide wheel at the end of the axle 7 contacts the obstruction protrusion 9, the axle 7 drives the support plate 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the support plate 6 to rotate along the pin connected to the bottom support plate 5. This allows the garbage on the support plate 6 to pass through the opening 8 in an inclined direction and enter the collection box 10, thus realizing the collection of garbage.

[0036] When a large amount of garbage is collected in the collection bin 10, the electric boat 1 docks. Then, the second hydraulic rod 17 is activated, and the output end extension frame 18 of the second hydraulic rod 17 moves along the inside of the equipment box 11. Since the total length of the conveyor belt 16 remains unchanged, when the extension frame 18 drives the first movable roller 19 and the second movable roller 20 to move, the second movable roller 20 moves closer to the shore. After adjustment, the staff enters the electric boat 1 and starts the waterproof motor 12. Using tools, the garbage in the collection bin 10 is temporarily placed on the top of the conveyor belt 16. The output end of the waterproof motor 12 drives the first positioning roller 13 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 16 to transport the garbage to the shore, greatly reducing the burden on the staff in transporting garbage.

[0037] With the above-mentioned settings, this application will certainly solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and at the same time achieve the following technical effects:

[0038] This utility model, through the structural design of the garbage collection mechanism and auxiliary mechanism, enables the device to quickly and effectively clean up garbage on the water surface. At the same time, when the garbage is cleaned up and docked, it can cooperate with the staff to transport the garbage to the shore. It is particularly suitable for water areas such as scenic rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. It can also monitor the water surface environment during the docking process, allowing operators to remotely observe the water surface conditions and facilitate subsequent garbage cleanup as needed.

[0039] Meanwhile, existing technologies also include devices for intercepting and cleaning debris on the water surface. These devices consist of multiple floating debris-blocking discs with large gaps between them, allowing water flow while simultaneously intercepting floating debris. A dedicated recycling net is located beneath the discs to collect the intercepted debris. The discs also have built-in adsorption devices to absorb oil from the river.

[0040] The working principle of the water surface garbage collection and interception device: The intercepting disc rotates using the river's current and requires no electricity. Oil and sludge absorbed by the adsorption device are transported ashore through pipes beneath the disc for multi-stage filtration, ultimately resulting in the discharge of clean water. The device is designed with flexible joints, allowing for automatic repositioning as ships pass, without obstructing waterway traffic. The plan is to utilize the rotating disc to generate electricity for the device's operation. An automatic recycling system will be installed to automate the collection and disposal of garbage.

[0041] The barrier plate of the surface debris collection and interception device is made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant material, with guide grooves on its surface to guide debris into the recycling net. The recycling net is designed as a detachable structure for easy cleaning and maintenance. The adsorption device uses highly efficient oil-absorbing material to ensure effective absorption of oil. The pipeline system has a multi-stage filtration system to ensure thorough treatment of oil and that the discharged clean water meets environmental standards. The flexible joint adopts a rotating design, allowing the vessel to automatically adjust its position as it passes, reducing waterway obstruction. The overall device is designed as a modular structure, facilitating adjustment and deployment according to river width and flow rate. A disc-shaped power generation device uses water flow power to drive a generator, providing power to the device. The automatic recycling device uses a robotic arm or conveyor belt structure to achieve automatic debris collection and removal. The above is a brief introduction to the prior art. In some other embodiments, the electric hull 1 is used in conjunction with the surface debris collection and interception device for better results.
