[0004] In the aforementioned patent, although the device can sample algae, it can only collect one algae sample per sampling operation. For detection tasks that require a comprehensive and extensive understanding of the distribution and types of algae in the aquatic ecological environment, the efficiency is extremely low. Therefore, this utility model provides an algae collection device for aquatic ecological environment detection. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides an algae collection device for aquatic ecological environment monitoring. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This algae collection device for aquatic ecological environment monitoring uses a motor that drives a rotating disc to rotate, causing the support plate on the disc to rotate as well. This rotates the empty straight pipe to below the drain pipe, allowing for the collection of water samples from new locations, thus achieving comprehensive and efficient collection of algae samples from different locations.
[0015] 2.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] This utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0025] Figures 1-5 The first embodiment is shown: an algae collection device for aquatic ecological environment monitoring, including two symmetrically arranged floats 1, a support 12 installed between the tops of the two floats 1, a fixed plate 13 installed near the rear side of the top of the support 12, a suction component 2 provided near the front side of the support 12, a lifting component 3 connected to the suction component 2, a rotating component 4 provided on the fixed plate 13, and multiple storage components 5 provided on the rotating component 4; the rotating component 4 includes a motor 41 installed on the top surface of the fixed plate 13, the output shaft end of the motor 41 movably passes through the top surface of the fixed plate 13 and extends downward, a disc 42 is installed on the output shaft end of the motor 41, multiple support plates 43 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the disc 42, and a placement hole 44 is opened through the top of the support plate 43 near the far end; the storage component 5 includes a straight tube 51, the straight tube 51 is vertically inserted into the placement hole 44, a limiting plate 52 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the straight tube 51 near the top, and the bottom surface of the limiting plate 52 contacts the top surface of the placement hole 44.
[0026] Specifically, starting the motor 41 can drive the disc 42 to rotate, and the support plate 43 on the disc 42 will rotate accordingly, thereby causing the storage component 5 to be repositioned. When collecting algae from different locations, the empty straight tube 51 can be moved to the designated position. By setting the limiting plate 52, the straight tube 51 can be stably placed in the placement hole 44 to prevent the straight tube 51 from falling.
[0027] In this embodiment, a motor 11 is provided on the outer surface of the float 1, and a propeller 111 is installed at the output end of the motor 11.
[0028] Specifically, the propeller 111 is driven to rotate by the motor 11 on the pontoon 1, which propels the device to different detection water areas.
[0029] In this embodiment, a pipe bottom cover 53 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the straight pipe 51 near the bottom, and multiple filter holes 54 are opened through the bottom of the pipe bottom cover 53.
[0030] Specifically, when there is a mixture of water and algae in the straight pipe 51, the water can be discharged through the filter hole 54, thus retaining the algae. Furthermore, by unscrewing the bottom cap 53 threaded to the bottom of the straight pipe 51, the algae retained on the bottom cap 53 can be removed, which also facilitates subsequent cleaning of the storage component 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the suction assembly 2 includes a suction pump 21 installed on the top surface of the bracket 12. The outlet of the suction pump 21 is provided with a drain pipe 22, and the opening of the drain pipe 22 is located above the placement hole 44. The inlet of the suction pump 21 is provided with an inlet pipe 23, which is vertically arranged and extends downward.
[0032] Specifically, the suction pump 21 applies suction to the water, causing the water containing algae to fall into the straight pipe 51 through the inlet pipe 23 and the outlet pipe 22 in sequence, thus realizing the collection and storage of algae water samples.
[0033] Figures 1-5 The second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that the lifting assembly 3 includes an electric actuator 31 mounted on the top surface of the bracket 12. The telescopic end of the electric actuator 31 slides through the top surface of the bracket 12 and extends downward. A U-shaped tube 32 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric actuator 31. The U-shaped tube 32 includes a horizontal section, a long vertical section, and a short vertical section. The long vertical section is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 23, and the end of the short vertical section is fixedly connected to a disc opening 33.
[0034] Specifically, when the electric actuator 31 extends, the U-shaped tube 32 drives the disc 33 to descend and penetrate into the water. When the electric actuator 31 retracts, the disc 33 rises, leaves the water surface, or is adjusted to a shallower position, thereby controlling the depth of the disc 33 in the water, which facilitates the collection device to collect algae water samples at different water layers.
[0035] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Working principle: First, the propeller 111 is driven by the motor 11 to rotate, which pushes the device to different detection water areas. After reaching the designated position, the electric push rod 31 of the lifting component 3 is activated to drive the U-shaped tube 32 to descend, so that the inlet 33 is inserted into the water to a suitable depth. Then, the suction pump 21 of the suction component 2 is turned on. The suction pump 21 sucks in the water containing algae through the water inlet pipe 23, the U-shaped tube 32 and the inlet 33, and discharges it into the straight pipe 51 from the drain pipe 22. The filter holes 54 on the bottom cover 53 of the pipe can retain algae during drainage.
[0037] When a water sample collection is completed and the straight pipe 51 for storing the water sample needs to be replaced, the motor 41 of the rotating component 4 is started to drive the disc 42 to rotate. The support plate 43 on the disc 42 rotates accordingly, rotating the empty straight pipe 51 to below the drain pipe 22 so that water samples can be collected from the new location. This enables comprehensive and efficient collection of algae samples from different locations.
[0038] After collection, the storage component 5 can be directly pulled out from the placement hole 44. After pulling it out, unscrew the tube bottom cap 53 that is threaded to the bottom of the straight tube 51. The algae retained on the tube bottom cap 53 can be removed, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and detection of algae samples, and also convenient for subsequent cleaning of the storage component 5.
