Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a water surface garbage cleaning robot. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of modernization, the amount of garbage has increased significantly, especially various kinds of garbage floating on the water. This garbage is prone to rotting and emitting stench, and is difficult to clean up in a timely manner. It is a tough nut to crack in the field of water environmental protection. Hazardous waste contains heavy metals, corrosive, infectious and toxic substances, which can seriously affect water quality and pose a great threat to people's lives. Heavy metals may damage the physiological and reproductive systems of aquatic organisms, while toxic substances may have toxic effects on the nervous and circulatory systems of aquatic organisms. Large debris, such as plastic bags, bottles and fiber cloth, if not properly treated and enter water bodies, will cause water accumulation and obstructed water flow, thereby affecting the self-purification capacity of the water body.
[0003] As a result, a boat-shaped waterborne garbage cleaning robot has emerged, capable of autonomously cruising and cleaning up waterborne garbage within a certain area. In use, the robot typically lifts up the garbage on the water surface through a movable funnel, and then rotates the funnel to send the garbage into the garbage bin on the hull. With this structure, garbage is very easy to be absorbed into the funnel, and the simple rotation of the funnel makes it difficult to empty the garbage into the garbage bin. Therefore, this utility model proposes a waterborne garbage cleaning robot to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a water surface garbage cleaning robot. This robot uses a waterproof motor to drive the support arm to rotate, causing the connecting arm to make an eccentric movement. This movement causes the U-shaped seat to move slightly on the hull, which in turn drives the cleaning funnel to swing, making it easier to throw garbage into the garbage bin and improving garbage disposal efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a water surface garbage cleaning robot, including a hull and a garbage bin, wherein the garbage bin is located at one end above the hull, and a U-shaped seat is slidably provided at one end of the top of the hull, a U-shaped bracket is rotatably provided on the U-shaped seat, and a cleaning funnel is provided at one end of the U-shaped bracket;
[0006] A waterproof motor is provided on the hull at one side of the U-shaped seat, and the output end of the waterproof motor is provided with a support arm. A hinge lug is provided below one side of the U-shaped seat. A connecting arm is hinged to one end of the support arm, and one end of the connecting arm is hinged to the hinge lug.
[0007] A further improvement is that the U-shaped base is equipped with a double-headed waterproof motor, and the output ends of the double-headed waterproof motor are respectively connected to the two sides of the U-shaped bracket.
[0008] A further improvement is that: one end of the top of the hull is provided with an inner groove, and a guide rod is provided inside the inner groove; the bottom of the U-shaped seat is provided with a slider extending into the inner groove, and the guide rod passes through the slider.
[0009] A further improvement is that: one end of the top of the waste bin is provided with an avoidance opening, which is used to avoid the cleaning funnel.
[0010] A further improvement is that the end of the hull away from the cleaning funnel is provided with an inner opening, and a booster is provided inside the inner opening.
[0011] A further improvement is that a power compartment is located at the top of the hull, away from the waste bin. The power compartment contains a battery pack and a photovoltaic converter, and the battery pack is used to power the entire device.
[0012] A further improvement is that a support column is provided on one side of the top of the hull, and a solar panel is provided above the support column. The output end of the solar panel is electrically connected to a photovoltaic converter, and the output end of the photovoltaic converter is connected to the battery pack.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model utilizes a boat hull operating on the water surface. A cleaning funnel supports the surface garbage, and the U-shaped support rotates to cause the cleaning funnel to flip, dumping the garbage into the garbage bin. During the dumping process, a waterproof motor drives the support arm to rotate, causing the connecting arm to move eccentrically. This causes the U-shaped seat to move slightly on the hull, which in turn drives the cleaning funnel to swing, facilitating the dumping of garbage into the garbage bin and improving the efficiency of garbage dumping.
[0015] 2. This utility model provides energy through a battery pack, collects solar energy through a solar panel, and converts it into electrical energy to power the battery pack in conjunction with a photovoltaic converter, thereby improving the battery life and diversifying its functions.
