[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a wastewater treatment plant aerator inspection device includes a remote-controlled boat 1, a remote controller connected to the remote-controlled boat 1 by signal, a visual inspection component 2 installed on the remote-controlled boat 1, an anti-collision component 3 installed at the front of the remote-controlled boat 1, and a processing unit 4 installed inside the remote-controlled boat 1. The processing unit 4 has positioning function and wireless communication function. The visual inspection component 2 and the anti-collision component 3 are both connected to the processing unit 4 by signal.

[0036] The remote control moves the remote-controlled boat 1. The visual inspection component 2 is used to photograph or record the water surface, judging whether the aerators are functioning properly by observing bubbles or splashes. The visual inspection component 2 can be a standard color camera or an infrared camera. The anti-collision component 3 helps the remote-controlled boat 1 avoid obstacles such as walls and debris on the water surface, preventing collisions. It can use laser distance sensors, infrared distance sensors, or ultrasonic distance sensors. The processing unit 4 processes signals from the various components on the remote-controlled boat 1 and also has positioning and wireless transmission functions. Specifically, a processor chip, Bluetooth chip, and GPS chip can be integrated on the circuit board to achieve these functions. The positioning function monitors the real-time location of the remote-controlled boat 1 and records the detected range. When a faulty aerator is detected, its location information is transmitted wirelessly, allowing workers to further inspect and repair it. Additionally, this device can be used for foreign object inspection during daily use of the biological treatment tank, preventing excessive accumulation of foreign objects.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: A visual inspection device 2 is installed on the remote-controlled boat 1 to take pictures or record the surface of the biological treatment tank. The content is then transmitted to the workers through the processing unit 4. During daily production or aeration head inspection, it can assist workers in completing a comprehensive inspection of the biological treatment tank without the need for workers to go to the site for inspection. This is convenient and saves manpower, and it is also convenient to check the production status of the biological treatment tank at any time, which is conducive to process adjustment.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is as follows:

[0040] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the anti-collision assembly 3 includes at least two distance sensors respectively disposed on both sides of the front of the remote-controlled boat 1, and the distance sensors are signal-connected to the processing unit 4. It also includes a signal enhancement antenna 5 disposed on the remote-controlled boat 1, and the signal enhancement antenna 5 is signal-connected to the processing unit 4. Furthermore, it includes a lighting assembly disposed on the remote-controlled boat 1, comprising at least two first lights 6 respectively disposed on both sides of the front of the remote-controlled boat 1, and the first lights 6 are signal-connected to the processing unit 4. It also includes a rotating motor 7 disposed on the top of the remote-controlled boat 1, with a vision detection element 2 mounted on the rotating end of the rotating motor 7, and the rotating motor 7 is signal-connected to the processing unit 4. The lighting assembly also includes a second light 8 disposed on the vision detection element 2, and the second light 8 is signal-connected to the processing unit 4.

[0041] The distance sensors in the anti-collision assembly 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the front of the remote-controlled boat 1, which can effectively detect foreign objects in the direction of travel and prevent them from colliding with the boat. The signal enhancement antenna 5 is used to enhance the signal strength of the wireless transmission of the remote-controlled boat 1, ensuring signal stability and expanding the remote control range. Specifically, the remote control signal and the positioning signal can be enhanced together by a single signal enhancement antenna 5, or two antennas 5 can be used to enhance the two signals separately. The lighting assembly is used to illuminate the surface of the biological detection tank, ensuring that the visual inspection device 2 can capture a clear image. The first light 6 is installed on both sides of the front of the remote-controlled boat 1 to ensure lighting effect. A rotating motor 7 is installed to drive the visual inspection device 2 to rotate, expanding its field of view and making it easier to inspect for foreign objects in the biological detection tank. The second light 8 is installed on the visual inspection device 2 and rotates with it to ensure lighting effect.

[0042] The remaining features and working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, Example 1 or Example 2 are further defined, with the following differences:

[0045] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the remote-controlled boat 1 is driven forward by a drive motor 9 and a drive fan blade 10 mounted on the drive end of the drive motor 9. The drive motor 9 and the drive fan are mounted above the rear end of the remote-controlled boat 1, and the drive motor 9 is signal-connected to the processing unit 4. It also includes a sonar detection assembly 11 located at the bottom of the remote-controlled boat 1, which is signal-connected to the processing unit 4. Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a stabilizing assembly connected to the remote-controlled boat 1. The stabilizing assembly includes two floating components 12, each connected to the remote-controlled boat 1, located on either side of the remote-controlled boat 1. Each floating component 12 is equipped with a bracket 13, and the floating component 12 is detachably connected to the remote-controlled boat 1 via the bracket 13.

[0046] Since the biological treatment tank contains a large amount of floating debris, sludge, or impurities, the drive motor 9 and drive fan blade 10 are positioned above the rear end of the remote-controlled boat 1. The drive fan blade 10 is kept out of contact with the water to prevent it from hitting foreign objects. A sonar detection component 11 is installed to detect the underwater conditions. During normal production, if the aeration head cracks or bursts, the excessive air output will cause the oxygen content in the aerobic tank to be too high, leading to excessive proliferation of oxidizing bacteria in the sludge. This will result in a loose sludge particle structure, making the sludge prone to disintegration and increasing the amount of fine sludge in the supernatant. The sonar detection component 11 can detect the sludge in the water, thus helping to determine whether the aeration rate is set too high or whether the aeration head is cracked. This is helpful for aeration head maintenance and process adjustment in the biological treatment tank. It can also detect foreign objects floating in the water. During normal operation of the biological treatment tank, the water level is high and the surface is relatively calm. When inspecting the aeration heads, it is necessary to lower the water level to observe the water splashes above the aeration heads. In this state, the water level fluctuates significantly. Therefore, a stabilizing component is installed to increase the stability of the remote-controlled boat 1 and prevent it from capsizing. The float 12 can be an airbag, a float plate, or a plastic component with a sealed cavity. The bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the float 12 and detachably connected to the remote-controlled boat 1. When the float 12 is needed, it can be installed on the remote-controlled boat 1 via the bracket 13 to improve its stability. When not in use, it does not need to be installed, ensuring the boat's mobility. In this embodiment, the bracket 13 is detachably connected to the hull using screws, and threads or nuts are provided at corresponding positions on the hull.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the processing unit 4 is equipped with an AI vision algorithm, which can autonomously determine whether the bottom aerator is blocked or damaged by capturing the water splashes. Combined with the positioning function, the inspection route of the remote control boat 1 is pre-inputted to achieve automatic detection, making it more convenient to use.

[0048] The remaining working principles and processes of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0049] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
