Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater particle collection technology, specifically a device that can be used for underwater remote particle collection. Background Technology

[0002] Underwater particle collection technology is of great significance for scientific research, environmental monitoring, and pollution control. By collecting fine particles contained underwater, it can be used to study the distribution and types of particulate matter in water and their impact on the environment. It can also monitor the pollution status of water bodies, including microplastic pollution and oil pollution.

[0003] Existing particle collection devices collect all particles at once, failing to separate and collect fine particles. Furthermore, the pipelines often leave some fine particles inside the tank during particle collection and transport. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for underwater remote particle collection, comprising a collection hood, a suction hose connected to one end of the collection hood, a diversion valve connected to the other end of the suction hose, branch pipes connected to each branch port of the diversion valve, and a pneumatic ball valve for controlling the opening and closing of each branch pipe. The water and particles drawn in are collected by the diversion valve and diverted to the pneumatic ball valve, which then transports the water and particles to different branches. A collection filter frame is connected to the other end of the branch pipe, and a return pipe is connected to the opening at the other end of the collection filter frame. A self-priming pump is connected to the other end of the return pipe via a hose, and a water outlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the self-priming pump. The other end of the water outlet pipe leads to the original collection and suction point. The collection filter frame collects and filters particles flowing through different branches separately. The water filtered by the return pipe flows into the return pipe and is then returned to the original point via the self-priming pump through the water outlet pipe.

[0005] As an optimization, the collection hood is provided with a water inlet, which is a water inflow channel, and spiral blades are arranged inside the water inlet to make the water enter the collection hood and form a vortex, so as to facilitate the agitation of particles.

[0006] As an optimization, the collection hood is provided with a conical section and four symmetrical oblique water inlets at the conical section. During suction, the water flow drives the particles to rotate and agitate inside, thereby facilitating the discharge of particles through the water flow, providing a closed collection environment for the particles and providing agitation function.

[0007] As an optimization, the suction hose is made of PVC steel wire transparent hose, which provides a channel for water flow and particle delivery, and its inner wall is smooth, which can reduce the risk of debris sticking to the wall.

[0008] As an optimization, the branch pipe is provided with four branches.

[0009] As an optimization, the pneumatic ball valve is provided with four sets corresponding to the branch pipe. By controlling the opening and closing of each branch through the pneumatic ball valve, water and particles can be transported to different branches.

[0010] As an optimization, the collection and filter frames are arranged on each branch, so that particles flowing through different branches can be collected and filtered separately.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This device, which can be used for underwater remote particle collection, uses spiral blades arranged inside the inlet of the collection hood to create a vortex when water enters the collection hood, which facilitates particle agitation. Then, a self-priming pump draws water and particles from the suction hose into a diversion valve. After being diverted by the diversion valve, the particles are discharged into the corresponding collection and filter frames. Thus, by setting different branches, particles from different locations can be collected into different collection and filter frames. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2 A device for underwater remote particle collection includes a collection hood 1, with a suction hose 2 connected to one end of the collection hood 1. The other end of the suction hose 2 is connected to a diversion valve 3, and branch pipes are connected to the branch ports of the diversion valve 3. A pneumatic ball valve 4 is installed on the outside of each branch pipe to control its opening and closing. The water and particles sucked in by the diversion valve 3 are collected by the pneumatic ball valve 4 for diversion, and the water and particles can be transported to different branches by the pneumatic ball valve 4. A collection filter frame 5 is connected to the other end of the branch pipe, and a return pipe 6 is connected to the other end of the collection filter frame 5. A self-priming pump 7 is connected to the other end of the return pipe 6 through a hose. A water outlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the self-priming pump 7, and the other end of the water outlet pipe leads to the original collection and suction point. The particles flowing through different branches can be collected and filtered separately by the collection filter frame 5. The water filtered by the return pipe 6 is collected in the return pipe 6, and the self-priming pump 7 returns the filtered water to the original point along the water outlet pipe.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-2 The collection hood 1 is equipped with a water inlet, which is a water inflow channel. Spiral blades are arranged inside the water inlet to create a vortex when water enters the collection hood, which is conducive to particle agitation. The collection hood 1 is equipped with a conical section, and four symmetrical oblique water inlets are provided at the conical section. During suction, the water flow drives the particles to rotate and agitate inside, which is conducive to the particles being discharged through the water flow, providing a closed collection environment for the particles and providing agitation function.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 The suction hose 2 is made of PVC steel wire transparent hose, which provides a channel for water flow and particle delivery. Its inner wall is smooth, which can reduce the risk of debris sticking to the wall. There are four branch pipes and four sets of pneumatic ball valves 4 corresponding to the branch pipes. The pneumatic ball valves 4 control the opening and closing of each branch, which can deliver water and particles to different branches. The collection filter frames 5 are arranged on each branch, which can collect and filter the particles flowing through different branches.

[0021] When performing the collection task, the device is transported to the collection location by other mechanisms. Then, the self-priming pump 7 is started to draw water from the collection hood 1. Since the collection hood 1 is equipped with a conical section, the particles will rotate and agitate inside during the suction, which will facilitate the particles to pass through the water outlet. Then, the water can be discharged along the suction hose 2 to the diversion valve 3. The diversion valve 3 will collect the suctioned water and particles and divert them. Then, the pneumatic ball valve 4 controls the opening and closing of each diversion branch, so that the water and particles can be delivered to different branches. Then, the collection filter frames 5 arranged on each branch can collect and filter the particles flowing through different branches. The water filtered by the collection filter frames 5 flows into the return pipe 6. Then, the self-priming pump 7 will return the filtered water to the original location along the outlet pipe.

[0022] In summary, this device for underwater remote particle collection uses spiral blades arranged inside the inlet of the collection hood 1 to create a vortex in the water entering the collection hood, which facilitates particle agitation. Then, the self-priming pump 7 draws water and carries the particles from the suction hose 2 into the diversion valve 3. After being diverted by the diversion valve 3, the particles are discharged into the corresponding collection filter frames 5. Thus, by setting different branches, particles from different locations can be collected into different collection filter frames 5.
