Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of algae removal boat technology, and in particular to a new energy unmanned algae control boat. Background Technology

[0002] In some lakes or rivers with poor water flow, the accumulation of nutrients leads to increased concentrations of COD, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients, creating eutrophic conditions. Under rising temperatures, this can easily result in cyanobacterial blooms, potentially harming the aquatic environment, fish, and human health. Controlling cyanobacteria in lakes is a common environmental problem.

[0003] Patent CN218116376U discloses an electric boat for controlling cyanobacteria. The boat is equipped with a battery, a micro-nano bubble aerator, and an algaecide tank. The combination of the micro-nano bubble aerator and the algaecide enhances the efficiency of cyanobacteria control. The drawback of this design is the relatively high hull height, limiting its applicability to open lakes or rivers without height restrictions. It is unsuitable for waterways with bridges, thus requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing algae-removing electric boats are too tall to be used in water flow obstructed by bridges, and to provide a new energy unmanned algae-control boat.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A new energy unmanned algae control vessel includes a hull, a nanobubble generator, a control cabinet, a water quality monitor, an inverter, and a battery pack. The hull includes a watertight compartment and a deck. The watertight compartment is a flat watertight compartment with a propeller at the bottom and a propeller protective cover on the outside of the propeller. The deck is located on top of the watertight compartment. The control cabinet, nanobubble generator, water quality monitor, and inverter are respectively located on the deck. The battery pack is located in the grooves on both sides of the deck. A cabin roof plate is also located above the deck. The nanobubble generator and water quality monitor are electrically connected to the control cabinet. There are several battery packs, and each battery pack is electrically connected to the inverter. The inverter is electrically connected to the control cabinet.

[0007] In the above design, there are multiple battery packs, which are arranged in grooves on both sides of the deck. This arrangement helps to maintain the balance of the deck and keep the ship stable.

[0008] In the above design, three battery packs are installed on each side of the deck. These three battery packs are connected in series, and the battery packs on both sides are connected in parallel. A voltage equalization module is installed between adjacent battery packs on the same side to balance the voltage of each battery pack. Each battery pack contains a Bluetooth protection board. This configuration ensures voltage balance between the battery packs and extends their lifespan.

[0009] In the above scheme, the hull is equipped with a sonar protection device, which is electrically connected to the control cabinet. By installing the sonar protection device, the hull can be protected from collisions with underwater obstacles.

[0010] In the above design, the sonar protection devices are respectively installed on both sides of the hull. This arrangement improves the hull's obstacle avoidance capabilities.

[0011] In the above scheme, a GPS mounting bracket is provided on the hatch, and a GPS locator is installed on the GPS mounting bracket. The GPS locator is electrically connected to the control cabinet. By setting up the GPS locator, the position of the new energy unmanned algae-control vessel can be automatically located, and the cruise of the new energy unmanned algae-control vessel can be remotely controlled.

[0012] In the above-described design, a baffle is installed at the edge of the hull's cabin deck. By installing the baffle at the deck edge, it provides protection for workers when they are maintaining the new energy unmanned algae control vessel, preventing them from falling into the water.

[0013] In the above scheme, the hull is made of low-alloy high-strength steel. This design ensures the hull is made of high-strength material, preventing damage, and compared to existing aluminum alloy hulls, low-alloy high-strength steel has lower heat absorption, thus avoiding overheating.

[0014] In the above design, the cabin roof is equipped with an openable hatch. The hatch facilitates the maintenance of components on the deck inside the cabin.

[0015] This invention has the following positive effects: 1) The new energy unmanned algae control vessel of this invention adopts a flat, watertight compartment, which reduces the height of the hull and allows it to pass through bridge openings, facilitating algae control in rivers. 2) The new energy unmanned algae control vessel of this invention features a propeller protective cover on the propeller at the bottom of the hull, protecting it from aquatic plants, ropes, and other debris that could become entangled and damage the motor. 3) The new energy unmanned algae control vessel of this invention has a cabin roof located above the deck, protecting components such as the control cabinet, nanobubble generator, water quality monitor, inverter, and battery pack under the cabin cover, extending their service life.

[0019] The attached diagram is labeled as follows: hull 1, watertight compartment 11, deck 12, cabin roof 13, GPS mounting bracket 14, propeller 15, propeller guard 16, baffle 17, cabin cover 18, protrusion 19, nanobubble generator 2, control cabinet 3, water quality monitor 4, inverter 5, battery pack 6, voltage equalization module 61, GPS locator 7, and sonar protection device 8. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the new energy unmanned algae control vessel of this utility model includes a hull 1, a nano bubble generator 2, a control cabinet 3, a water quality monitor 4, an inverter 5, and a battery pack 6.

[0022] The hull 1 can be made of low-alloy high-strength steel. With this design, the hull 1 is made of high-strength material, which prevents damage to the hull 1. Moreover, compared with the existing aluminum alloy hull, the low-alloy high-strength steel has low heat absorption, which can prevent the hull temperature from rising.

[0023] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the hull 1 includes a watertight compartment 11 and a deck 12.

[0024] The water-tight compartment 11 is designed as a flat compartment. This design reduces the height of the hull 1, allowing it to pass through low bridge arches and enabling the new energy unmanned algae control vessel to manage algae in rivers. An upward protrusion 19 is located at the center of the bottom of the water-tight compartment 11, with grooves forming on both sides. This design makes the vessel more stable in the water, and the grooves can be used to house the battery pack.

[0025] The deck 12 is located on top of the watertight compartment 11, and baffles 17 are provided around the deck 12. When staff maintain the new energy unmanned algae control vessel, they can play a protective role and prevent staff from falling into the water.

[0026] Above deck 12, there is a cabin roof 13, on which is an openable cabin cover 18. The cabin cover 18 facilitates the maintenance of the components on deck 12 inside the cabin. The cabin roof 13 can protect components such as control cabinet 3, nanobubble generator 2, water quality monitor 4, inverter 5, and battery pack 6 under the cabin cover 18, extending their service life.

[0027] A GPS mounting bracket 14 is installed on the hatch cover 18, and a GPS locator 7 is installed on the GPS mounting bracket 14. The GPS locator 7 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 3. By setting the GPS locator 7, the position of the new energy unmanned algae control vessel can be automatically located, and the cruise of the new energy unmanned algae control vessel can be remotely controlled.

[0028] A propeller 15 is installed at the bottom of the watertight compartment 11, and a propeller protective cover 16 is installed on the outside of the propeller 15. By installing the propeller protective cover 16, the propeller 15 is protected to prevent aquatic plants, ropes and other objects in the water from getting tangled on the propeller and causing damage to the motor.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the control cabinet 3, nano bubble generator 2, water quality monitor 4, inverter 5 and battery pack 6 are respectively installed on the deck 12. The nano bubble generator 2 and water quality monitor 4 are respectively electrically connected to the control cabinet 3.

[0030] Control cabinet 3, nanobubble generator 2, water quality monitor 4, and inverter 5 can all use components from existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here. The operating software in control cabinet 3 can be based on the existing control cabinet by adding sonar and GPS drivers; the addition of these components does not involve any improvement to the software.

[0031] There are several battery packs 6, and each battery pack 6 is electrically connected to the inverter 5. The inverter 5 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 3.

[0032] Preferably, there are multiple battery packs 6, which are arranged in the grooves on both sides of the deck 12. For example, as shown in the attached figure, three battery packs are provided on each side of the deck 12. This arrangement helps to maintain the balance between the two sides of the deck 12 and keep the hull stable. The three battery packs 6 are connected in series, and the battery packs 6 on both sides are connected in parallel. A voltage equalization module 61 is provided between adjacent battery packs 6 on the same side to balance the voltage of each battery pack. A Bluetooth protection board is installed inside the battery to protect it from overload. This arrangement ensures voltage balance among the battery packs 6 and extends the battery life.

[0033] Preferably, a sonar protection device 8 can also be installed on the hull 1, and the sonar protection device 8 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 3. By installing the sonar protection device 8, the hull 1 can be protected to prevent the bottom of the hull 1 from colliding with underwater obstacles. The sonar protection device 8 can be installed on both sides of the hull. This arrangement improves the obstacle avoidance capability of the hull.

[0034] This new energy unmanned algae control vessel expands the operational range of algae control vessels, allowing them to pass through bridge arches and navigate rivers to manage algae in the water. This new energy unmanned algae control vessel incorporates sonar obstacle avoidance to prevent collisions with underwater obstacles; it replaces the commonly used aluminum alloy hull with low-alloy high-strength steel, ensuring hull strength while preventing heat absorption and temperature rise; baffles are added to the edges of the deck to prevent personnel from slipping during maintenance; a propeller protective cover is added to prevent underwater ropes and aquatic plants from entangled in the propeller and affecting the unmanned vessel's operation; a voltage equalizer is added between the batteries, and a battery Bluetooth protection board can be installed to protect the batteries from overload, extending battery range and increasing battery life.

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