Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water body cleaning technology, and in particular to a fully automatic floating debris removal vessel conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the most widely used floating debris collection vessels in waterways both domestically and internationally are generally divided into bucket-type and conveyor belt-type vessels. Bucket-type collection vessels operate by scooping buckets, resulting in discontinuous operations and low efficiency, thus being less effective at collecting densely packed floating debris. Conveyor belt-type collection vessels, on the other hand, can collect not only floating garbage but also duckweed and aquatic plants, allowing for continuous operations.
[0003] Existing conveyor belt-type collection vessels typically use a forward-mounted, inclined assembly that extends into the water. The rotating conveyor belt transfers debris from the water to the aft assembly on the hull. During collection, debris such as garbage and aquatic plants carry a significant amount of water. As the water drains, it flows down the conveyor belt, causing scouring and potentially washing collected debris back into the water. Furthermore, smaller or irregularly shaped debris tends to fall into the gap between the hull and the aft assembly, making it difficult to clean. Therefore, designing a conveyor system to facilitate the collection of garbage and aquatic plants is a problem that those skilled in the art need to consider. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic debris collection vessel conveying device to solve the problems of low efficiency in collecting debris in water bodies in the existing technology.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a fully automatic floating debris removal vessel conveying device, including a hull and a front cabin conveying assembly and a rear cabin conveying assembly installed on the hull. The front cabin conveying assembly includes a first conveyor belt, which is rotatably connected to the front end of the hull through a first bracket. The rear cabin conveying assembly includes a second conveyor belt, which is connected to the upper end of the hull through a second bracket.
[0006] The first conveyor belt includes a plurality of parallel first conveyor rods, and a plurality of first connecting blocks are connected to two adjacent first conveyor rods. The first connecting blocks are rotatably connected to the two first conveyor rods. A gap is provided between two adjacent first connecting blocks in the same column. The width of the gap is greater than the width of the first connecting block. The first connecting blocks in two adjacent columns are arranged crosswise, and the ends of the first connecting blocks in adjacent columns are located within the gap.
[0007] The first conveyor belt is provided with hook teeth, which are rotatably connected to two adjacent first conveyor rods, and the hooking end of the hook teeth protrudes from the surface of the first connecting block.
[0008] Preferably, the first conveyor belt further includes two symmetrically arranged chains, which are respectively connected to both ends of the first conveyor rod.
[0009] Preferably, the first support is provided with a first driving device, which drives the chain to rotate, thereby driving the first conveying rod to rotate.
[0010] Preferably, a first sleeve is provided at both ends of the first connecting block, and the first sleeves on both sides are respectively sleeved on two adjacent first conveying rods;
[0011] A first connecting plate is provided between the first sleeves on both sides. The first connecting plate is provided with a long strip-shaped first protrusion. The length direction of the first protrusion is parallel to the length direction of the first conveying rod.
[0012] Preferably, the hook teeth are arranged in multiple rows, and each row has multiple hook teeth; multiple first conveying rods are spaced apart between two adjacent rows of hook teeth, and multiple first connecting blocks are spaced apart between two adjacent hook teeth in the same row.
[0013] Preferably, the second conveyor belt includes a plurality of parallel and side-by-side second conveyor rods, and a plurality of second connecting blocks are connected between two adjacent second conveyor rods, with the second connecting blocks in two adjacent columns being arranged in a crisscross pattern.
[0014] Preferably, the second connecting block includes two second sleeves disposed at both ends, and the two second sleeves are respectively sleeved on two adjacent second conveyor belts;
[0015] A second connecting plate is provided between the two sides of the second sleeve. The two sides of the second connecting plate extend in opposite directions, such that the width of the second connecting plate is greater than the length of the sleeve.
[0016] Preferably, the second connecting plate is provided with a long strip-shaped second protrusion, and the straight line along the length direction of the second protrusion is parallel to the straight line along the length direction of the second conveying rod.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) In this utility model, by interlacing the first connecting blocks on the first conveyor belt and setting the gap between the first connecting blocks, the water that is drained out during the collection of debris can be discharged in time through the gap, avoiding water from flowing on the surface of the first conveyor belt and causing scouring, thereby preventing the collected debris from falling into the water body again.
[0019] In addition, the hook teeth help to hook larger pieces of trash or aquatic plants, preventing them from slipping off the first conveyor belt due to their own weight.
[0020] (2) The first protrusion guides the drained water, allowing it to flow to both sides of the first connecting block into the gap and be discharged. In addition, the first protrusion also acts as an anti-slip device, further preventing the collected debris from sliding towards each other.
[0021] (3) In the second conveyor belt, the extension of the second connecting plate on both sides of the second connecting block makes the gap between two adjacent second connecting blocks small, thus preventing debris on the second conveyor plate from falling down into the gap of the hull.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0032] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment is applied to a debris-collecting vessel used for cleaning floating garbage, aquatic plants, etc., in water. During the vessel's forward movement, the first conveyor belt is inclined, with its lower end extending into the water. As the vessel moves forward, garbage, aquatic plants, and other debris on the water surface are transported by the first conveyor belt to a second conveyor belt above the vessel. During transport on the first conveyor belt, water carried on the debris is drained and flows out through gaps; simultaneously, the hooks prevent the collected debris from rolling downwards. In the second conveyor belt, the gaps between the second connecting blocks are small, making the upper surface of the second conveyor belt generally plate-like, preventing debris from falling onto the vessel. Specifically:
[0033] A fully automatic floating debris removal vessel conveying device includes a hull 1 and a front cabin conveying assembly 2 and a rear cabin conveying assembly 3 installed on the hull 1. The front cabin conveying assembly 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21, which is rotatably connected to the front end of the hull 1 via a first bracket 22.
[0034] The first conveyor belt 21 includes multiple parallel first conveyor rods 211. Multiple first connecting blocks 212 are connected to adjacent first conveyor rods 211, and the first connecting blocks 212 are rotatably connected to both first conveyor rods 211. A gap 212a is provided between adjacent first connecting blocks 212 in the same column, the width of which is greater than the width of the first connecting block 212. The first connecting blocks 212 in adjacent columns are arranged crosswise, and the ends of the first connecting blocks 212 in adjacent columns are located within the gap 212a. A first sleeve 2121 is provided at both ends of each first connecting block 212, and the first sleeves 2121 on both sides are respectively fitted onto two adjacent first conveyor rods 211. A first connecting plate 2122 is provided between the first sleeves 2121 on both sides, and the first connecting plate 2122 has an elongated first protrusion 2123, the length direction of which is parallel to the length direction of the first conveyor rod 211.
[0035] In this embodiment, when debris in the water is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 21, the water carried by the debris is drained onto the first conveyor belt 21 and discharged through the gap 212a. This prevents water from accumulating and flowing on the first conveyor belt 21, thus preventing the debris below from being washed away by the water flow and rolling back into the water. The first protrusion 2123 acts as a guide, guiding the drained water to both sides into the gap 212a and discharging it, essentially eliminating the possibility of water flowing on the first conveyor belt 21. In addition, the first protrusion 2123 also acts as an anti-slip device, preventing the collected debris from rolling downwards to a certain extent.
[0036] The first conveyor belt 21 is provided with hook teeth 213, which are rotatably connected to two adjacent first conveyor rods 211, and the hooking end of the hook teeth 213 protrudes from the surface of the first connecting block 212. Multiple rows of hook teeth 213 are provided, with multiple hook teeth 213 in each row; multiple first conveyor rods are spaced between adjacent rows of hook teeth 213, and multiple first connecting blocks 212 are spaced between adjacent hook teeth 213 in the same row. In this embodiment, the hook teeth 213 do not need to be arranged too densely; according to actual needs, one first connecting block 212 can be provided in each row at certain intervals. Furthermore, in the arrangement of multiple rows of hook teeth 213, different specifications can be achieved.
[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the first conveyor belt 21 also includes two symmetrically arranged chains, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the first conveyor rod 211. A first driving device (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first support 22. The first driving device drives the chains to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor rod 211 to rotate.
[0038] The aft cargo hold conveyor assembly 3 includes a second conveyor belt 31, which is connected to the upper end of the hull 1 via a second support 32. The second conveyor belt 31 includes a plurality of parallel and side-by-side second conveyor rods 311, and a plurality of second connecting blocks 312 are connected between two adjacent second conveyor rods 311. The second connecting blocks 312 in two adjacent rows are arranged to cross each other.
[0039] The second connecting block 312 includes two second sleeves 3121 disposed at both ends, which are respectively fitted onto two adjacent second conveyor belts 31. A second connecting plate 3122 is disposed between the two second sleeves 3121 on both sides, and the two sides of the second connecting plate 3122 extend in opposite directions, such that the width of the second connecting plate 3122 is greater than the length of the sleeve. A long strip-shaped second protrusion 3123 is provided on the second connecting plate 3122, and the straight line of the length direction of the second protrusion 3123 is parallel to the straight line of the length direction of the second conveyor rod 311.
[0040] In this embodiment, the second conveyor belt 31 is positioned above the hull 1 and is horizontally arranged. Debris collected by the first conveyor belt 21 is discharged into the second conveyor belt 31 and temporarily stored there. As the debris passes through the first conveyor belt 21, most of the moisture is drained, resulting in less moisture entering the second conveyor belt 31, preventing accumulation and rinsing. Residual moisture drains directly through various gaps or edges on the second conveyor belt onto the deck and into the water. The second connecting plate 3122 extends to both sides, resulting in a very small gap between adjacent connecting plates 312, preventing debris from falling onto the hull 1. Even if some mud or other impurities fall into the gap between the connecting plate and the hull 1, they can be flushed out by a water pump. This avoids the situation where debris gets stuck and is difficult to clean.
[0041] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
