[0002] Not only do aquatic plants such as duckweed and weeds easily grow on the surface of rivers or lakes, but solid garbage such as plastic bags, beverage bottles, and branches also float on the water, causing damage to the aquatic environment of rivers or lakes. Therefore, water surface environment management vessels are usually used to salvage the garbage on the water surface.

[0003] Currently, the two main methods of garbage collection are manual and automated. Manual collection involves using hooks to retrieve garbage from the water surface and conveying it to bins via a conveyor belt. However, manual collection is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. While automated collection can free up hands and improve efficiency, rivers and lakes often contain oil pollutants. Existing garbage collection vessels can only handle solid waste and lack the capacity to treat oil spills, resulting in poor water surface cleanup and hindering effective removal of pollutants, thus impacting the overall water environment management.

[0042] The oil-water separation device 10 includes a housing 1001. Inside the housing 1001, a grille 1009 and an oil-water separation plate 1007 are installed.

Specifically, electric valves are provided on the first suction pipe 1003, the second suction pipe 1011, the first drain pipe 1004 and the second drain pipe 1010. The electric valves are one-way valves to facilitate the switching of the suction pipe and the drain pipe of the pump body 1002.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the sewage tank 1005 has two fixed partitions 1013 inside, and an oil storage hopper 1006 can be detachably placed between the two partitions 1013. A cavity is formed between one side of the two partitions 1013 and the inner wall of the sewage tank 1005, and an inlet hole 1012 communicating with the cavity is opened on one side of the sewage tank 1005. A gap is left between the bottom of the two partitions 1013 and the bottom of the sewage tank 1005 for oil to flow.

[0044] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned solid waste retrieval device 3, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the solid waste collection device 3 includes two symmetrically distributed baffles 31. Each baffle 31 has an opening in its center, and a rotatable shaft is installed within each opening. Multiple blades 36 arranged in a circular array are arranged on the outer circumference of each shaft. An outer cover 35 is fixed to the outside of each baffle 31 to cover the blades 36. A rotatable collection plate 37 is provided on the side of each baffle 31 away from the hull 1. The two collection plates 37 are arranged in a herringbone pattern, and when they rotate into a figure-eight shape, they are used to collect solid waste on the water surface. The two shafts are connected to the conveying mechanism 4. A transmission component is connected between the two baffles 31. The transmission component includes a transmission shaft 32 rotatably mounted on the top of the two baffles 31. Both ends of the transmission shaft 32 are equipped with main bevel gears 33. A second belt transmission component is connected between the transmission shaft 32 and one of the rotating rollers 42. The top ends of the two shafts are equipped with driven bevel gears 34 that mesh with the main bevel gears 33. A rotating shaft and a bracket are provided on one side of the baffle 31. A micro motor 38 that drives the rotating shaft is mounted on the bracket. One side of the collecting plate 37 is mounted on the rotating shaft. The micro motor 38 is a stepper motor (Leica Intelligent DM542 driver + 57HS22 stepper motor).

[0045] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned conveying mechanism 4, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes two first bearing seats fixed to the top of the mounting chamber 102 and two second bearing seats installed on the front side of the bottom shell 101. Rollers 42 are installed between the two first bearing seats and between the two second bearing seats, and a conveyor belt 41 is provided between the two rollers 42. A third motor 43 and a reducer are installed in the mounting cavity, and a first belt drive component is connected between one of the rollers 42 and the reducer. The third motor 43 is a servo motor (Panasonic MINASA6 series).

[0046] Through the above technical solution:

[0047] When cleaning pollutants from the surface of lakes or rivers, the hull 1 can be driven into the water to be cleaned, and the propeller 93 is rotated by the motor 91 to drive the hull 1 forward or turn along the water surface. During the forward movement of the hull 1, the micro motor 38 drives the collection plates 37 to rotate through the shaft, causing the two collection plates 37 to rotate and open into a V-shape. At this time, as the hull 1 moves forward, the two open collection plates 37 collect solid waste on the water surface. Then, the third motor 43 and the reducer drive the conveyor belt 41 to rotate, and at the same time, the second belt drive component drives the drive shaft 32 to rotate, and then the transmission... The shaft 32 drives the shaft rod to rotate through the cooperation of the main bevel gear 33 and the driven bevel gear 34. Then the shaft rod drives the blade plate 36 to rotate, so as to send the solid waste collected by the collection plate 37 to the feeding side of the conveyor belt 41. Then, the solid waste is scooped out of the water by the rotation of the conveyor belt 41, and the solid waste falls into the two solid waste collection boxes 11 under the action of the diversion plate 12, so as to collect and store the solid waste, thereby realizing the scooping of solid waste on the water surface, and can effectively collect waste of various shapes and materials, ensuring the efficient operation of waste collection work, which in turn is conducive to the efficient cleaning of pollutants on the water surface.

[0048] Simultaneously, during the solid waste cleaning process on the water surface, the water quality can be detected by the oil concentration sensor in the water quality detection device and control device. When oil is present in the water, the control device starts the pump body 1002 and opens the electric valves on the first suction pipe 1003 and the second discharge pipe 1010 to draw the oily wastewater through the first suction pipe 1003 and discharge it into the pretreatment chamber inside the tank 1001 through the second discharge pipe 1010. At this time, the oily wastewater is coarsely filtered by the grid 1009 to remove large particulate solid impurities (such as food scraps and plastic fragments) in the water. The filtered oily wastewater flows into the sedimentation separation chamber and slowly flows along the sedimentation separation chamber under the action of the two baffles 1008 (e.g., Figure 11 As indicated by arrow a in the diagram, oils (such as mineral oil, vegetable oil, and animal oil) generally have a lower density than water (oil density is approximately 0.8-0.95 g / cm³). 3 Water content is 1.0 g / cm³ 3 This method uses gravity to separate oil and water, meaning that when the mixed liquid is left to stand, the water will sink to the bottom (e.g., ...). Figure 11 As shown by arrow b in the image, the oil will naturally rise to the surface and flow into the wastewater storage chamber through the overflow hole at the top of the oil-water separator 1007 (as shown by arrow b in the image). Figure 11As indicated by arrow c in the diagram, the oil undergoes further sedimentation and separation to enhance the oil-water separation effect. As the liquid level in the wastewater storage chamber rises, the oil flows from the inlet 1012 on one side of the wastewater tank 1005 into the cavities on both sides of the tank, and then flows through the gap between the partition 1013 and the wastewater tank 1005 into the center of the tank. Finally, the oil overflows into the oil storage hopper 1006 (as shown by arrow c in the diagram). Figure 11 As indicated by arrow d in the diagram, the water contained in the oil is stored inside the wastewater tank 1005, thus achieving further sedimentation and separation of the oil and wastewater. After treatment, the electric valves on the first suction pipe 1003 and the second drain pipe 1010 are closed by the control device, while the electric valves on the second suction pipe 1011 and the first drain pipe 1004 are opened to switch the pipeline of the pump body 1002. Then, the pump body 1002 is started by the control device, so that the pump body 1002 extracts the water stored in the sedimentation separation chamber through the second suction pipe 1011 and re-extracts it through the first drain pipe 1004. The oil is discharged into rivers or lakes to clean up the oil pollution in the water. During the oil pollution cleanup process, water quality testing devices and oil concentration sensors monitor the water quality in real time after separation to ensure that the discharged water meets environmental protection standards. When the oil storage tank 1006 is full or the water surface is cleaned up, the boat 1 can be driven to shore, the sewage tank 1005 can be taken out from the tank 1001, and the oil storage tank 1006 can be taken out from the sewage tank 1005 and the oil pollution can be dumped to clean the sewage tank 1005, the oil storage tank 1006 and the tank 1001, thereby facilitating the subsequent use of the oil pollution separation device 10.

[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that the water quality testing devices used in this embodiment are the Hach CODmax III online COD analyzer and the Hach TX1315 portable water quality biotoxicity analyzer, wherein:

[0050] The Hach CODmax III online COD analyzer can quickly and accurately detect the chemical oxygen demand in water. It is suitable for assessing the degree of water pollution by small cleaning boats, and its reliable performance helps to grasp the pollution status of water bodies in a timely manner.

[0051] The Hach TX1315 portable water quality biotoxicity detector can detect the toxicity of organisms in water, helping to assess the toxic impact of water on organisms. It is very useful in water cleanup work where ecological environment needs to be considered.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3As shown, a camera device 5 and a lighting lamp 6 are also installed on the top cover 103, and solar photovoltaic panels 7 are installed on the inclined surfaces on both sides of the top cover 103. Specifically, the camera device 5 can be a rotatable camera in the prior art. While the hull 1 is traveling along the water surface, it can capture real-time images of the water environment and transmit the images to the control device. When traveling at night, it can be illuminated by the lighting lamp 6, which can not only provide supplementary lighting for the camera device 5, but also serve as a warning to facilitate the safe passage of surrounding vessels on the water.

[0053] In this embodiment, the solar photovoltaic panel 7 is a LONGi Class A single-sided 545W solar photovoltaic panel, and the lithium battery 8 is a brand-new CATL 3.7V CATL 117AH ternary lithium automotive-grade power battery. On sunny days, solar power can be generated through the solar photovoltaic panel 7. A matching MPPT controller, DC-DC step-down module, and BMS battery management system are installed inside the hull 1 to charge the lithium battery 8. The specific connection method is as follows:

[0054] (1) Solar photovoltaic panel → MPPT controller

[0055] Connect the positive and negative terminals accordingly. The cable must meet the current requirement (545W / 40V = 13.6A, select 4mm). 2 Wire);

[0056] (2) MPPT controller → DC-DC step-down module

[0057] Connect the input to the controller output terminal (12V), and adjust the output to 4.2V (full voltage);

[0058] (3) DC-DC module → BMS → Battery

[0059] Connect the module output to the BMS input, and connect the BMS output to the battery, ensuring correct polarity.

[0060] MPPT controller current: 545W / 12V≈45A → Select a controller of 50A or higher (EPever 60A);

[0061] Step-down module power: 117Ah×4.2V≈500W, a module of 500W or higher is required (Victron Orion-Tr48 / 12-20A);

[0066] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a rescue device 2 is provided on the inclined surfaces of both sides of the top cover 103, and the rescue device 2 includes a rotating base and a launcher mounted on the rotating base, wherein:

[0067] The rotating base includes a base 25 and a rotating disk 29 located on top of the base 25. A first motor 26 is installed inside the base 25, and a main gear 27 is mounted on the main shaft of the first motor 26. A driven gear 28 that meshes with the main gear 27 is installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 29. Specifically, the first motor 26 can be a Leadshine DM542 driver + 57HS22 stepper motor.

[0068] The transmitter includes a housing 22 mounted on a rotating disk 29 and a launch tube 21 disposed on one side of the housing 22. A support plate 210 is installed inside the housing 22, and a second motor 213 and a movable rack 211 are provided on the top of the support plate 210. A sector gear 212 that meshes with the rack 211 is mounted on the main shaft of the second motor 213. A connecting frame 215 extending into the launch tube 21 is installed at one end of the rack 211, and two connecting plates 214 are hinged to one end of the connecting frame 215. A stop bar 24 is hinged to one end of each of the two connecting plates 214. A spring 23 is provided inside the launch tube 21, and the spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the two connecting plates 214. Limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the launch tube 21. The two stop bars 24 are distributed in a V-shape, and the ends of the two stop bars 24 away from the connecting plates 214 are slidably connected to the two limiting grooves respectively.

[0069] Furthermore, the transmitter also includes:

[0070] 1) Control core unit

[0071] A microcontroller (Siemens S7-1200 series) is used. The microcontroller is responsible for receiving signals from sensors, processing these signals according to preset algorithms, and sending control commands to the motor driver and transmitter. Depending on the system's functional requirements, the microcontroller can control parameters such as turning the transmitter on and off. When the microcontroller receives a rotation command (which can be from an external device or an internal command based on sensor feedback), it sends pulse signals to the motor driver. The stepper motor driver converts these signals into the current and voltage required by the motor, driving the motor to rotate in the specified direction and speed.

[0072] 2) Angle sensor

[0073] The AS5048A angle sensor is used, which is a magnetic rotary position sensor that determines the angular position of the rotating axis by detecting changes in the magnetic field. It has high resolution (up to 14 bits) and can accurately measure the rotation angle of the transmitter. The sensor is connected to the microcontroller via SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface).

[0074] Connection pins: VCC is connected to the microcontroller's 5V power supply pin, GND is connected to the microcontroller's ground pin, CS (chip select) pin is connected to one of the microcontroller's I / O pins, SCLK (clock) pin is connected to the microcontroller's SPI clock pin, MOSI (master output, slave input) pin is connected to the microcontroller's SPI MOSI pin, and MISO (master input, slave output) pin is connected to the microcontroller's SPI MISO pin.

[0075] 3) Target detection sensor

[0076] The VL53L1X sensor is used, which is a distance sensor based on the time-of-flight (ToF) principle. It can detect the distance to the target in front of the transmitter so as to adjust the rotation angle of the transmitter according to the position of the target. The sensor is connected to the microcontroller via an I2C interface.

[0077] Connection pins: VCC is connected to the microcontroller's 3.3V power supply pin, GND is connected to the microcontroller's ground pin, SDA (data) pin is connected to the microcontroller's I2C SDA pin, and SCL (clock) pin is connected to the microcontroller's I2C SCL pin.

[0078] In the complete rotatable launcher system, the angle sensor is used to accurately measure the launcher's rotation angle and feed it back to the microcontroller, the target detection sensor is used to detect the target's position information, and the microcontroller controls the motor to drive the launcher to rotate to the appropriate position based on the feedback information from these sensors, thereby enabling the launcher to accurately point and operate on the target area.

[0079] Through the above technical solution:

[0080] Before using the cleaning device, life jackets are compressed and packed into the launch tube 21. The compressed life jacket pack is positioned between two V-shaped baffles 24. One end of the launch tube 21 is then sealed with disposable waterproof paper (the waterproof paper is existing technology, such as the sealing paper used on the top of a firework tube). During the water surface cleaning process, if a sudden fall into the water occurs, the camera device 5 will automatically and quickly detect it and feed the detection data back to the control device. The control device will then stop the solid waste retrieval device 3, allowing the boat 1 to quickly travel to the vicinity of the person in the water via the power system 9. The target detection sensor will then detect the location of the person in the water and feed the location information back to the microcontroller, enabling the microcontroller to adjust its position accordingly. The system first controls the first motor 26, which drives the main gear 27 to rotate. The main gear 27 then drives the rotating disk 29 to rotate via the meshing driven gear 28, thus rotating the launcher. During rotation, an angle sensor detects the rotation angle and feeds the data back to the microcontroller. When the launcher rotates to a position facing the person falling into the water, the microcontroller stops the first motor 26 and starts the second motor 213. This causes the second motor 213 to drive the sector gear 212 to rotate. The sector gear 212 then drives the meshing rack 211 to move horizontally along the support plate 210, and pulls the stop bar 24 via the connecting plate 214 and the connecting frame 215, causing the stop bar 24 to compress the spring 23 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 As shown), when the sector gear 212 is not engaged with the rack 211, the spring 23 will push the two stop bars 24 to reset via the connecting plate 214 and the connecting bracket 215 (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), the two baffles 24 eject the life jacket compression pack from the launch tube 21. At this time, the life jacket compression pack breaks through the waterproof paper at the end of the launch tube 21 and is shot to the position where the person falls into the water, so as to achieve rapid rescue, reduce the occurrence of drowning deaths, and greatly improve the practicality and functionality of the cleanup device.

[0081] Furthermore, during rescue operations, the water quality detection device at the bottom of the hull will automatically collect water samples and perform water quality testing through pH value, conductivity detection, and spectral analysis, thereby addressing surface debris and oil pollution in a targeted manner.
