Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of surface debris cleaning technology, specifically to a surface debris cleaner and filtration system. Background Technology
[0002] In aquaculture and landscaping, the removal of surface debris is particularly important. Currently, the main methods for cleaning up surface debris in water bodies are: 1. Manual dredging; 2. Mechanical garbage boat dredging; 3. Fixed automatic dredging devices. Manual dredging is the most traditional and common method. Workers use nets or scoops to manually collect debris along the edge of ponds or lakes. This method is labor-intensive, costly, and has a limited cleaning range, making it difficult to operate over large areas. It is also susceptible to weather conditions and poses safety hazards. Mechanical garbage dredging typically consists of a hull, a front-end collection device (usually a net or conveyor belt), and a garbage storage compartment. This method has high equipment costs, requires dedicated personnel for operation and maintenance, necessitates frequent cleaning of the compartment, and has requirements regarding water depth and width. Fixed automatic dredging devices are usually fixed on the shore or in the water and mainly consist of a collection net, a drive motor, or an electric pump. This method suffers from small net capacity, susceptibility to clogging, a limited cleaning range to a fixed area, and high installation and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0025] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also mean including the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0026] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a water surface garbage cleaner is disclosed, including a floating component 10, a bucket 20 and a pump body. The floating component 10 includes a support 11 and a plurality of floats 12 arranged circumferentially along the support 11. The floats 12 are used to float on the water surface. The bucket 20 is connected to the support 11. The bucket 20 has a water inlet 21. The water depth of the water inlet 21 is adjustable. The pump body is disposed on the bucket 20. The inlet of the pump body is connected to the water inlet 21. The outlet of the pump body is connected to a filter device.
[0029] The surface garbage cleaner of this application uses a pump to draw garbage on the water surface into the tank 20 through the inlet 21, and then the garbage flows to the filter device through the pump inlet for filtration, thereby cleaning up floating garbage on the water surface. The water depth of the inlet 21 of the tank 20 is adjustable, so it can adapt to different positions and meet the garbage cleaning needs of different water level areas, improving the applicability of the device. Furthermore, the floating component 10 allows the surface garbage cleaner of this application to move flexibly on the water surface, thereby expanding the cleaning range of surface garbage. The garbage is transported to the filter device through the pump, so that the garbage inside the surface garbage cleaner does not need to be cleaned frequently, and the equipment cost is low.
[0030] The bottom of the tank 20 is provided with an installation interface, and the pump body is installed in the installation interface.
[0031] The shape of the barrel 20 is not limited in this application; it can be cylindrical, geometric, or other shapes. For example, the barrel 20 can be cylindrical.
[0032] In this embodiment, the water surface garbage cleaner also includes an adjustment component 30. The bucket 20 is connected to the bracket 11 through the adjustment component 30. The adjustment component 30 can drive the bucket 20 to move vertically, thereby driving the water inlet 21 of the bucket 20 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the water depth of the water inlet 21.
[0033] By driving the bucket 20 to move vertically through the set adjustment component 30, the water inlet 21 of the bucket 20 can be adjusted, so that the water surface garbage cleaner can adapt to the use of different water levels.
[0034] Specifically, when the water level becomes shallow, the bucket 20 can be driven to move vertically downward by adjusting the component 30, thereby ensuring that the water inlet 21 of the bucket 20 is below the water surface and thus cleaning up the garbage on the water surface; when the water level becomes deep, the bucket 20 can be driven to move vertically upward by adjusting the component 30, thereby reducing the water inlet 21 of the bucket 20.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 11 has a vertically arranged threaded hole 111, and the adjustment assembly 30 includes an adjustment screw 31, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 111 and connected to the barrel 20.
[0036] By adjusting the rotation of the screw 31 in the threaded hole 111, the barrel 20 is moved axially toward the screw 31. Since the axial and vertical directions of the screw 31 are the same, the rotation of the screw 31 causes the barrel 20 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the water depth of the inlet 21.
[0037] Specifically, the bracket 11 can be configured as an annular shape, with the threaded hole 111 located at the center of the bracket 11.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly 30 also includes an operation part 32, which is located at the end of the adjustment screw 31 away from the barrel 20. The operation part 32 and the barrel 20 are located on both sides of the threaded hole 111, and the adjustment screw 31 is driven to rotate by the operation part 32.
[0039] The water inlet 21 of the tank 20 can be adjusted by manipulating the operating unit 32 to drive the adjusting screw 31 to rotate, or by setting a driving unit to drive the adjusting screw 31 to rotate.
[0040] Specifically, the operating part 32 can be a wheel, the center of which is connected to the adjusting screw 31. Rotating the wheel can drive the adjusting screw 31 to rotate.
[0041] As an alternative implementation, the adjustment assembly 30 may also include a drive unit, which is velocally connected to the adjustment screw 31. The drive unit drives the adjustment screw 31 to rotate, thereby adjusting the water depth at the inlet 21 of the tank 20. Specifically, the drive unit may be a motor, which drives the adjustment screw 31 to rotate.
[0042] In other embodiments, the adjusting component 30 may also be a cylinder structure or a hydraulic cylinder structure, which is connected to the barrel 20 for transmission. The barrel 20 can be driven to move vertically by the cylinder structure or the hydraulic cylinder structure, which can achieve the same effect and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0043] As an alternative implementation, the adjustment component 30 can be omitted, and the tank body 20 can be configured to be vertically telescopic. The water depth of the inlet 21 can also be adjusted by extending and retracting the tank body 20 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the tank body 20 can be a corrugated pipe, or the tank body 20 can be configured to include an inner tank and an outer tank that is slidably sleeved outside the inner tank. The water inlet 21 is located in the outer tank, and the water depth of the inlet 21 can be adjusted by sliding the outer tank relative to the inner tank.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, based on the adjustment assembly 30 including the adjustment screw 31, the water surface garbage cleaner also includes a connecting assembly 40, which includes a lifting ring 41, a radial bearing 43, and a locking nut 42. The lifting ring 41 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom of the adjustment screw 31 and is connected to the bucket body 20. The radial bearing 43 is sleeved on the adjustment screw 31 and is connected to the lifting ring 41. The locking nut 42 is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw 31 and is connected to the side of the radial bearing 43 away from the lifting ring 41.
[0045] The lifting ring 41 is rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 31 via the radial bearing 43, providing radial support for the tank 20 and the pump body. The vibration and rotation generated by the pump body during operation can be transmitted to the lifting ring 41 through the tank 20. The rotation of the lifting ring 41 provides vibration damping. In other words, the tank 20 and the adjusting screw 31 are flexibly connected through the lifting ring 41 and the radial bearing 43, which prevents the adjusting screw 31 from turning incorrectly due to the vibration of the pump body during operation, and ensures the water depth of the inlet 21.
[0046] It is understood that the length of the adjusting screw 31 limits the adjustable range of the water inlet 21 of the barrel 20. Therefore, the adjustment of the water inlet 21 of the barrel 20 can be ensured by setting the length of the adjusting screw 31. This embodiment does not make specific limitations.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet 21 is inclined towards the outside of the barrel 20 and has an outer profile. The water inlet 21 and the main body of the barrel 20 are detachably connected.
[0048] By tilting the inlet 21 outwards towards the body 20 to form an outer profile, the garbage on the water surface can form a suitable vortex flow at the inlet 21, promoting the natural collection of garbage into the body 20. The detachable connection between the inlet 21 and the body 20 allows the body 20 to easily replace the inlet 21 with different tilt angles to meet the needs of water areas with different flow rates.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, there are three floats 12, each float 12 is connected to a support rod 13 and a bracket 11, the support rod 13 and the bracket 11 are detachably connected, the three support rods 13 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bracket 11, and the buoyancy of the float 12 is set to be no less than 20 kg.
[0050] Three support rods 13 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the bracket 11, i.e., set at a 120° angle. The buoyancy of the float 12 set on each support rod 13 is set to be no less than 20kg. The three-point support float 12 structure is simple and ensures that the water surface garbage cleaner remains stable on the water surface. It is less affected by wind and waves and avoids the water surface garbage cleaner from being overturned by wind, waves or rapid water flow. The support rods 13 and the bracket 11 are set to be detachable for easy storage and transportation.
[0051] Specifically, the buoyancy of float 12 can be 20kg, 25kg, 30kg or 35kg, etc., but is not limited to this, and can be set according to needs.
[0052] Furthermore, the support rod 13 and the bracket 11 can be detachably connected by means of threads, snap-fit, etc., but are not limited to this.
[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of floats 12 and support rods 13 can be adjusted as needed. For example, the number of floats 12 and support rods 13 can be set to four, five, etc. Alternatively, the support rods 13 can be set as ring rods, with multiple floats 12 spaced apart along the ring rods.
[0054] In some embodiments, the surface debris cleaner also includes a traction structure connected to the support 11 for moving the surface debris cleaner on the water surface.
[0055] The traction structure allows the surface garbage cleaner to be moved on the water surface by dragging it when needed, enabling the cleaning of garbage in different areas of the water surface and expanding the cleaning area. At the same time, through the cooperation of the traction structure and the floating component 10, it can be flexibly moved to the garbage concentration area, improving garbage cleaning efficiency and adapting to different working environments.
[0056] Specifically, the traction structure can be a traction rope or a push rod, but is not limited to these. Other structures that can pull the surface garbage cleaner can be considered equivalent to the traction structure of this application.
[0057] A second aspect of this application also provides a filtration system, including a filtration device and the surface debris cleaner of this application, wherein the filtration device includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, the outlet pipe is connected to the water surface, and the outlet of the pump body of the surface debris cleaner is connected to the inlet pipe.
[0058] The filtration system of this application includes the water surface garbage cleaner of this application. Therefore, the filtration system of this application has the same technical effect as the water surface garbage cleaner, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, the water outlet pipe of the filtration system of this application is connected to the water surface, so that the filtered water can be returned to the water surface to realize water recycling and avoid water waste caused by garbage cleaning.
[0059] Preferably, the filtration device is installed on shore, enabling the filtration of surface debris and the separated water to be returned to the water surface through an outlet pipe for recycling. Furthermore, the separate installation of the filtration device and the surface debris cleaner reduces the size and volume of the surface debris cleaner, and prevents debris accumulation, overcoming the limitations of traditional salvage vessels with limited storage capacity. Additionally, the shore-based installation of the filtration device facilitates maintenance and cleaning, significantly reducing operating costs.
[0060] Since the filtration device is an existing structure, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0061] To facilitate understanding of the filtration system of this application, its operation process is described as follows: The operating unit 32 drives the adjusting screw 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the barrel 20 connected to the adjusting screw 31 to move vertically, thereby achieving precise control of the water depth of the water inlet 21 of the barrel 20. Three floats 12 provide buoyancy support to keep the surface garbage cleaner stable on the water surface. When the pump is started, the garbage or floating objects on the water surface are gathered into the barrel 20 under the action of the vortex formed by the water inlet 21, and flow into the filtration device through the pump and the water inlet pipe to achieve the separation and collection of garbage. The separated water flows back to the water surface through the water outlet pipe to achieve recycling.
[0062] In summary, the surface garbage cleaner of this application has a simple overall structure with fewer parts. Furthermore, since the filtration device is located on shore and does not require a complex sealing structure, this not only reduces manufacturing costs but also simplifies subsequent maintenance. Compared to existing mechanical salvage vessels, this device has significant economic advantages.
[0063] By designing a traction structure and allowing the floating component 10 to move, operators can flexibly adjust the position of the surface debris cleaner according to the distribution of debris on the water surface. This flexibility makes the device particularly suitable for handling sudden debris outbreaks in localized areas (such as algal blooms), thus improving emergency response capabilities.
[0064] The surface debris cleaner and filtration system of this application significantly improves the practicality and economy of the device while ensuring the cleaning effect, providing a new solution for surface debris cleaning.
[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
