Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pollution prevention and control technology, and in particular to a pollution prevention curtain device that can automatically adapt to changes in water depth during water construction. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of water pollution prevention and control, with the increase in water-based construction activities, water pollution has gradually attracted attention. During water-based construction, the use of oils and chemicals often leads to water pollution, especially during bridge construction, ship repair, and dam maintenance. The oil spills, garbage, and other pollutants generated during these operations threaten the ecological environment of the surrounding waters. To prevent the spread of pollutants and effectively protect the aquatic environment, anti-fouling curtains, as a common device for preventing water pollution, are gradually becoming an indispensable environmental protection tool for water-based construction.
[0003] Most antifouling curtain devices currently on the market can only intercept oil and debris on the water surface, and their width is mostly around 1.5 meters, making them ineffective against underwater pollutants. These antifouling curtains mainly achieve their antifouling function through a floating design and rubber enclosure. However, due to their design limitations, in water environments with significant variations in depth, these devices cannot adapt to tidal changes and water depth variations, allowing underwater pollutants to still spread and pollute the water. Especially during high or low tides, changes in water depth cause variations in the distance between the antifouling curtain and the water surface, making it impossible to maintain a tight seal and thus rendering it ineffective at preventing pollution.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional antifouling curtains are mostly static structures, lacking flexibility and adaptability. They often cannot adjust in real time when water depth fluctuates significantly, leading to reduced antifouling effectiveness. As water depth changes, the interception effect of the antifouling curtain is also affected, and some pollutants may break through the barrier, posing a greater risk of water pollution. Therefore, existing antifouling curtain devices cannot fully meet the needs of water pollution prevention and control during underwater construction.
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing antifouling curtains that cannot automatically adapt to changes in water depth, this invention proposes an antifouling curtain device that can automatically adapt to changes in water depth during underwater construction. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses an anti-fouling curtain device that can automatically adapt to changes in water depth during water construction. The device includes a floating main body and a lower algae-blocking curtain. The floating main body comprises multiple evenly distributed rubber enclosures. Both sides of each rubber enclosure are connected to multiple evenly distributed floats. The multiple rubber enclosures are interconnected. Both ends of each rubber enclosure are fixed to the shore. Multiple evenly distributed galvanized steel plates are fixedly installed at the lower end of each rubber enclosure. The first end of the lower algae-blocking curtain is connected to the multiple galvanized steel plates, and the second end of the lower algae-blocking curtain is fixedly connected to multiple evenly distributed counterweight chains.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of evenly distributed springs are provided on one side of the lower algae-blocking curtain, and the two ends of the springs are respectively connected to the two ends of the lower algae-blocking curtain.
[0008] Furthermore, the rubber enclosure is made of a special rubber with high strength, wear resistance, oil resistance, and good weather resistance.
[0009] Furthermore, the spring is coated with a waterproof coating.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower algae-blocking curtain is made of polyethylene.
[0011] Furthermore, the float is a monolithic polystyrene foam wrapped with EPE oil-resistant material.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: This utility model uses a floating body, rubber enclosure, spring, lower algae barrier curtain and heavy chain counterweight to completely enclose the construction area on the water. This not only saves costs, but also ensures that environmental protection requirements are met and prevents water pollution. At the same time, it can completely enclose and intercept water regardless of the tide or the water depth, achieving 100% pollution prevention effect. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a pollution prevention curtain device that can automatically adapt to changes in water depth for water construction includes a floating main body and a lower algae-blocking curtain 5. The floating main body includes multiple evenly distributed rubber enclosures 2. Both sides of the rubber enclosures 2 are connected to multiple evenly distributed floats 1. The floats 1 are integrally foamed polystyrene wrapped with EPE oil-resistant material. The multiple rubber enclosures 2 are connected end to end. The rubber enclosures 2 are made of special rubber with high strength, wear resistance, oil resistance and good weather resistance. Both ends of the rubber enclosures 2 are fixed on the shore. Multiple evenly distributed galvanized plates 3 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the rubber enclosures 2. The first end of the lower algae-blocking curtain 5 is connected to multiple galvanized plates 3. The second end of the lower algae-blocking curtain 5 is fixedly connected to multiple evenly distributed counterweights 6. Multiple evenly distributed springs 4 are set on one side of the lower algae-blocking curtain 5. The two ends of the springs 4 are connected to the two ends of the lower algae-blocking curtain 5. The springs 4 are coated with waterproof coating. The material of the lower algae-blocking curtain 5 is polyethylene.
[0019] In daily use, to ensure comprehensive enclosure during water construction, the lower algae barrier 5 is made at the same height as the normal water level. When the water level rises, the float 1 will have upward buoyancy, which will drive the rubber enclosure 2. The lower algae barrier 5 is kept at the bottom of the water by the counterweight 6 of the heavy chain. The spring 4 will stretch and expand with the buoyancy. When the water level drops, the float 1 descends and the spring 4 contracts, returning to the normal water level.
[0020] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. The waterproof motor, cylinder, and coupling proposed in this embodiment are all commercially available products, and their working principles and usage methods will not be elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
