Abstract

This application relates to the field of ecological and environmental protection technology, specifically to a flexible traction-based floating debris handling system. The system includes a floating island, a floating debris collection channel, and a traction device. The floating debris collection channel is located on the floating island, with its inlet end positioned at the edge of the island. The traction device includes a traction head and a traction belt. The front end of the traction belt extends from the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel. The traction head is located at the front end of the traction belt. Because the traction belt can be made of a strip-shaped, soft material, during movement on the water surface, compared to current long, rigid traction devices, the traction belt reduces resistance due to its own expansion, contraction, and deformation.

The unmanned boat disclosed in this patent includes a tower and a floating object collection device, which is used to collect floating objects.

[0004] However, current towing devices mainly use a long, rigid structure. This type of towing device has greater resistance on the water surface, especially when the towing device is long, which can easily lead to difficulty in turning due to excessive resistance. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" 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 communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0050] As mentioned earlier, current towing devices mainly adopt a long, rigid structure. This type of long, rigid towing device has greater resistance on the water surface, especially when the towing device is long. It is easy to make turning difficult due to excessive resistance. For this reason, the length of current long, rigid towing devices is usually limited, which means that current floating debris handling devices can only handle floating debris in relatively small water areas.

[0051] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a water surface floating debris handling system based on flexible traction, which can be combined with Figures 1-14 The structure of this flexible traction-based floating debris handling system will be described. Figure 1 The diagram shows the specific structure of the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system, which includes a floating island 1, a floating debris collection channel 2, and a traction device 3.

[0052] The floating island 1 serves to provide the buoyancy required for floating on the water surface. The floating debris collection channel 2 and the traction device 3 are both located on the floating island 1. For example, the floating debris collection channel 2 can be fixedly connected to the floating island 1 by bolts or other fixing methods, or it can be connected to the floating island 1 by a movable connection, so that it can float relative to the floating island 1. In this way, since the floating debris collection channel 2 and the traction device 3 are both located on the floating island 1, the entire floating debris treatment system based on flexible traction can float on the water surface.

[0053] The function of the floating debris collection channel 2 is to collect floating debris on the water surface. For example, during the movement of the water surface in this flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system, floating debris can flow into the floating debris collection channel 2 through its inlet end, thereby collecting and treating the floating debris. The inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2 is the entrance, allowing floating debris to enter the channel. In practical applications, the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2 is located at the edge of the floating island 1, facilitating the inflow of floating debris during the movement of the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system.

[0054] Here we can first focus on explaining the structure of floating island 1, for example... Figure 1 The floating island 1 shown can be shaped like a circular polygon (i.e., a circular polygonal floating island), such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a flexible traction-based floating debris handling system with a near-circular polygonal floating island. The floating island 1 of this system is a near-circular polygonal floating island. Of course, the shape of the floating island 1 can also be boat-shaped (i.e., a boat-shaped floating island), such as... Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a flexible traction-based floating debris handling system with a boat-shaped floating island. The floating island 1 of this system is a boat-shaped floating island. Alternatively, the floating island 1 can also be fish-shaped (i.e., a fish-shaped floating island) or other shapes, such as... Figure 3 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system with a fish-shaped floating island. The floating island 1 of this flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system is a fish-shaped floating island.

[0055] It is important to note that the near-circular polygonal floating island, due to its near-circular cross-section, exhibits better anisotropic balance. This makes it easier for the flexible traction-based floating debris handling system to make large-angle turns during the collection and processing of floating debris. Therefore, the structure of this type of circular polygonal floating island can be described in detail here. The cross-section of this type of circular polygonal floating island can be circular, elliptical (or spindle-shaped, or other similar circular shapes). However, if the cross-section is elliptical, to ensure the stability of the flexible traction-based floating debris handling system meets practical requirements, the ratio of the minor axis to the major axis of the ellipse should be greater than or equal to 2 / 3 (obviously, a ratio of 1 results in a circular shape). This makes the ellipse relatively close to a circle, ensuring its anisotropic balance meets requirements, and consequently, the stability of the floating platform meets practical requirements.

[0056] Of course, the cross-section of this type of circular polygonal floating island can also be a polygon similar to a circle or ellipse. Obviously, the more sides the polygon has, the closer its shape is to a circle or ellipse, thus enabling a stronger anisotropic balance of the water surface floating object handling system based on flexible traction. In the embodiments of this application, the number of sides of the polygon (referred to as N) needs to be greater than or equal to 6. That is, when the cross-section of this type of circular polygonal floating island is a polygon, the number of sides N ≥ 6. For example, N can be 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or other values. In addition, for this polygon similar to a circle or ellipse, the lengths of each side of the polygon can be equal (including completely equal and approximately equal), thus making the polygon an equilateral polygon, which can further improve the anisotropic balance of the circular polygonal floating island.

[0057] Furthermore, the floating island 1 can be assembled from multiple basic floating body units 11. For example, these basic floating body units 11 can be assembled by welding, bolting, or other methods to obtain this type of circular polygonal floating island 1. The shape of the basic floating body unit 11 includes any one or more of the following: triangular basic floating body unit, rectangular basic floating body unit, trapezoidal basic floating body unit, square basic floating body unit, hexagonal basic floating body unit, circular basic floating body unit, etc.

[0058] In addition, in these basic floating units of triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, square and hexagon, each side can be a straight line or one or two sides can be arcs, which makes it easy to splice them together to obtain the floating island 1.

[0059] For example, Figure 4-1 The image shows a triangular basic floating unit 11, where all sides of this triangular basic floating unit 11 are straight lines; as shown... Figure 4-2 The diagram shows a triangular basic floating unit 11, where one side is an arc and the other sides are straight lines. Similarly, for rectangular, trapezoidal, and square basic floating units, all sides can be straight lines, or one or two sides can be arcs.

[0060] Of course, in order to enable the basic floating body unit 11 to provide sufficient buoyancy, in practical applications, the basic floating body unit 11 may be provided with buoyancy tubes and / or pontoons, thereby providing buoyancy through the buoyancy tubes and / or pontoons. For example, the basic floating body unit 11 may include one or more buoyancy tubes, or one or more pontoons, or one or more buoyancy tubes and one or more pontoons.

[0061] In practical applications, the buoyancy tube can be a sealed hollow rigid tube. For example, the two ends of a hollow rigid tube (made of rigid material) can be sealed to obtain the sealed hollow rigid tube. In practical applications, die casting or adding a sealing cap can be used to seal the two ends of the hollow rigid tube to obtain the sealed hollow rigid tube.

[0062] Of course, besides being a sealed, hollow, rigid tube, the buoyancy tube can also be a lightweight solid tube. For example, it can be made from a lightweight material with a density less than that of water. Furthermore, the shape of the buoyancy tube can be square, round, or other shapes; there is no specific limitation on the shape.

[0063] For the basic floating unit 11, two factors are typically considered when it floats in water: a rigid support structure and buoyancy to keep it afloat. In this embodiment, where a buoyancy tube can be provided in the basic floating unit 11, the buoyancy tube provides some or all of the buoyancy. The rigid support structure can typically be implemented in various ways.

[0064] For example, in the first implementation, as mentioned earlier, the buoyancy tube is a sealed, hollow, rigid tube. Its body can be made of a rigid material, such as metal, metal alloy, ceramic, or other similar rigid materials, thus making the tube a rigid tube. In this way, the sealed, hollow, rigid tube itself can provide rigid support. Therefore, the basic floating unit 11 can be directly assembled from the buoyancy tube as its edges. For example, the sealed, hollow, rigid tube can be directly used as the edge of the basic floating unit 11 and assembled to obtain the basic floating unit 11. In this case, the sealed, hollow, rigid tube can simultaneously provide buoyancy and rigid support.

[0065] In the second implementation, the basic floating unit 11 includes a support frame and multiple buoyancy tubes disposed on the support frame. In this implementation, the support frame provides rigid support, and the multiple buoyancy tubes are disposed on the support frame to provide buoyancy, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the basic floating unit 11 includes a support frame 111 and multiple buoyancy tubes 112. The support frame 111 can be made of a rigid material to provide rigid support (of course, the support frame 111 can be solid or hollow). The multiple buoyancy tubes 112 can be disposed on the support frame 111. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, since the rigid support is provided by the support frame, the buoyancy tubes 112 can be either sealed hollow rigid tubes or lightweight solid tubes.

[0066] Furthermore, considering that in the flexible traction-based floating debris handling system of this application embodiment, most of the buoyancy is provided by the floating island 1, and the floating island 1 is composed of multiple basic floating body units 11, in order to provide greater buoyancy, pontoons can be set in all or part of the basic floating body units 11 (in which case the pontoons are embedded in the basic floating body units 11), thereby providing additional greater buoyancy through the pontoons. The pontoon can be a rigid pontoon made of rigid material or a lightweight pontoon made of lightweight material. The pontoon's interior is a hollow cavity, thus providing relatively greater buoyancy.

[0067] Considering that the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system needs to be able to move on the water surface to treat floating debris in multiple different locations, the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system may also include a power unit. The power unit may be a propeller symmetrically arranged on both sides of the floating island 1 (especially symmetrically arranged along the floating debris collection channel 2). In this way, the propellers on both sides of the floating island 1 can drive the movement and steering of the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system.

[0068] To improve the propulsion efficiency of the thrusters, it is usually necessary to specify the positions of the symmetrically arranged thrusters. First, the center of symmetry of the floating island 1 can be determined, and then the line connecting this center of symmetry to any one of the thrusters can be defined. The angle between this line and the axis of symmetry of the floating island 1 is denoted as β. It should be noted that in this embodiment, this angle β ∈ [15°, 75°], meaning that the size of this angle β is greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 75°. Thus, for two thrusters positioned within this angle range, the propulsion efficiency is high, meeting practical needs. Of course, within the range of β ∈ [15°, 75°], the specific placement of the thrusters usually needs to be determined comprehensively by considering factors such as the rated power of the thrusters themselves and the size of the floating island 1.

[0069] Of course, in addition to the aforementioned floating island 1, floating debris collection channel 2, and traction device 3, this flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system may also include a floating debris treatment device. This device processes floating debris on the water surface through methods such as collection and compression. In practical applications, the device may include a conveying module and a processing module. The conveying module is located at the outlet of the floating debris collection channel 2, allowing it to transport the floating debris flowing out of the channel 2 to the processing module for collection and processing. The conveying module may be, for example, a conveyor belt or a related device with conveying function. The processing module may be, for example, a compression device and a storage tank. For instance, the compression device can compress the floating debris, which is then temporarily stored in the storage tank. The outlet of the floating debris collection channel 2 is the outlet from which the floating debris flows out.

[0070] It is important to note that, in order to increase the coverage area, this application incorporates a traction device 3 in the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. This traction device 3 includes a traction head 31 and a traction belt 32. The front end of the traction belt 32 extends from the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, and the traction head 31 is positioned at the front end of the traction belt 32. The traction belt 32 can be made of a soft material (e.g., a strip of mesh or cloth). Since the front end of the traction belt 32 extends from the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, and the traction head 31 is positioned at the front end, the traction belt 32 can be extended by moving forward, thus creating a guiding effect on the water flow within the coverage area, similar to that of a rigid material.

[0071] In this application, since the traction head 31 drives the traction belt 32 by moving forward, the end of the traction belt 32 that extends out of the floating object collection channel 2 is called the front end, which is used to set the traction head 31. Correspondingly, the other end of the traction belt 32 is called the rear end.

[0072] The flexible traction-based floating debris handling system provided in this application includes a floating island 1, a floating debris collection channel 2, and a traction device 3. The floating debris collection channel 2 is disposed on the floating island 1, and its inlet end is located at the edge of the floating island 1. The traction device 3 includes a traction head 31 and a traction belt 32. The front end of the traction belt 32 extends out of the floating debris collection channel 2 from its inlet end. The traction head 31 is disposed at the front end of the traction belt 32. Since the traction belt 32 is made of a strip-shaped soft material, during the movement of the flexible traction-based floating debris handling system on the water surface, compared with the current long and rigid traction structure, the traction belt 32 can reduce resistance due to its own expansion, contraction, and vibration deformation. Especially when the traction belt 32 is longer, the effect of reducing resistance is more obvious, thus making it easier for the flexible traction-based floating debris handling system to turn.

[0073] As mentioned above, current towing devices mainly employ a long, rigid structure. This type of towing device exhibits significant resistance on the water surface, especially when it is long, making turning difficult due to excessive resistance. For this reason, current long, rigid towing devices typically cannot be too long, limiting their ability to handle floating debris in relatively small areas. In contrast, the towing belt 32 in this application is made of a soft, strip-shaped material, and its length and direction are controlled by the towing head 31. This results in relatively low resistance, allowing for a longer towing belt 32 compared to current rigid towing devices, enabling the handling of a larger area of ​​floating debris.

[0074] Furthermore, it should be noted that since the traction belt 32 in this embodiment is made of a soft material, unlike the rigid, long strip-shaped traction devices made of hard materials in the prior art, the traction belt 32 itself is not rigid. It needs to be extended by the forward movement of the traction head 31 in order to guide the water flow. Therefore, the traction head 31 at the front end of the traction belt 32 is essential in this embodiment. Of course, this "traction belt + traction head" method, compared with the current rigid, long strip-shaped traction devices, not only reduces resistance but also allows for more flexible control of the coverage area. For example, the movement direction and angle of the traction head 31 can be dynamically controlled as needed, and the extension length of the traction belt 32 can be dynamically controlled by controlling the movement of the traction head 31, thereby ultimately allowing for dynamic adjustment of the coverage area. This method is obviously more flexible than the current rigid, long strip-shaped traction devices.

[0075] It should be noted that the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system of this application may include two traction devices 3. The front ends of the traction belts 32 of the two traction devices 3 extend from both sides of the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, thereby forming an open shape that opens outward to guide the water flow in the coverage area.

[0076] Of course, this also takes into account that the traction strap 32 in this application is made of a soft material, which makes it different from the current long, rigid traction devices (which are usually easier to store by folding). This soft material traction strap 32 is longer and less convenient to fold, thus presenting difficulties in storage. In this embodiment, one storage method is to store the traction strap 32 by wrapping it around itself. Specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, a rotatable traction belt winding and collecting rod 5 can be further provided in the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. The traction belt winding and collecting rod 5 can be set on the inner side wall, outer side wall, or top inner wall of the floating debris collection channel 2. Figure 6 As shown, the traction belt 32 is installed on the inner side wall, and the rear end of the traction belt 32 can be installed on the traction belt winding and storage rod 5. In this way, when the traction belt 32 needs to be stored, the traction belt winding and storage rod 5 can be rotated, and the traction belt 32 can be gradually wound onto the traction belt winding and storage rod 5, thereby storing the traction belt 32 by this winding method.

[0077] Therefore, in this way, when it is necessary to collect floating objects on the water surface, the towing head 31 can be controlled to move outward, so that the towing belt 32 can guide the water flow in the covered area; after the floating objects on the water surface are collected, the towing belt can be controlled to rotate around the collection rod 5, so that the towing belt 32 gradually wraps around the collection rod 5, and then the towing belt 32 is collected.

[0078] Of course, another way to store the traction belt 32 is by folding it. Specifically, as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a folding and storage section 4 for the tow belt can be further provided in this flexible traction-based floating debris handling system. This folding and storage section 4 may include a slide rail 41 and a sliding rod 42 slidably disposed on the slide rail 41. The slide rail 41 may be disposed on the inner side wall or top inner wall of the floating debris collection channel 2. Figure 7 and Figure 8This is a schematic diagram showing the installation on the inner sidewall. Thus, one configuration of the traction belt 32 is that its rear end is directly mounted on the sliding rod 42, so that the movement of the sliding rod 42 on the slide rail 41 retracts the traction belt 3, which extends beyond the floating debris collection channel 2, into the interior of the floating debris collection channel 2. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The image shows the implementation method; of course, as shown... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, another configuration of the traction belt 32 can be that the rear end of the traction belt 32 ( Figure 9 and Figure 10 Point A in the middle is fixed to the inner side wall or top inner wall of the floating object collection channel 2, and the traction belt 32 is wrapped around the sliding rod 42. In this way, when the sliding rod 42 moves on the slide rail 41, since the rear end of the traction belt 32 is fixed to the inner side wall or top inner wall of the floating object collection channel 2, the traction belt 32 can be folded, thereby realizing the storage of the traction belt 32.

[0079] It should be further explained that, in practical applications, the traction belt folding and storage part 4 may also include multiple sliding rods 42 and multiple slide rails 41, so that the traction belt 32 can be folded multiple times by the movement of these slide rails 41 on each sliding rod 42, and then stored. This multiple folding storage method can further improve storage efficiency. Of course, its implementation cost is also relatively high. In practical applications, a specific solution can be selected according to actual needs.

[0080] As mentioned above, the water surface floating debris treatment system based on flexible traction in this embodiment of the application may include two traction devices 3, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2. In order to prevent the traction belts 32 of the two traction devices 3 from getting tangled together, the water surface floating debris treatment system based on flexible traction in this embodiment of the application may also include two traction belt limiting devices 9. These two traction belt limiting devices 9 are respectively disposed on both sides of the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, thereby limiting the traction belts 32 in the traction devices 3 on both sides of the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, reducing the possibility of them getting tangled together.

[0081] It should be further explained that after the towing belt 32 of this application is retracted, the towing head 31 is close to the floating island 1 at the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2. This is to prevent the towing head 31 from colliding with the floating island 1 or the floating debris collection channel 2 due to water flow fluctuations. Figure 11As shown, in the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system of this application embodiment, a traction head lifting support plate 6 can be further provided. The traction head lifting support plate 6 is provided at the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2. In this way, after the traction belt 32 is retracted and the traction head 31 is close to the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, the traction head 31 can be lifted by the traction head lifting support plate 6, so that it is partially or completely removed from the water surface, thereby reducing the collision with the floating island 1 or the floating debris collection channel 2 due to the fluctuation of the water flow.

[0082] Of course, when collecting floating objects on the water surface, the lifting support plate 6 of the traction head needs to be lowered so that the traction head 31 is immersed in the water, allowing the traction head 31 to move on the water surface and drive the traction belt 32. After collecting the floating objects, the traction belt 32 needs to be stored. At this time, the lifting support plate 6 of the traction head lifts the traction head 31, so that it is partially or completely removed from the water surface, thereby reducing the collision with the floating island 1 or the floating object collection channel 2 due to the fluctuation of the water flow. Therefore, the lifting support plate 6 of the traction head needs to be able to lift and lower. Therefore, the lifting support plate 6 of the traction head can further include a traction head support plate 61 and a support plate lowering and lifting mechanism 62. The traction head support plate 61 is a horizontal plate (which can be a metal or non-metal plate). The support plate lowering and lifting mechanism 62 is connected to the traction head support plate 61 and can raise or lower the height of the traction head support plate 61 through the support plate lowering and lifting mechanism 62.

[0083] The structure of the traction head 31 can be further described here. The traction head 31 is capable of floating on the water surface, and a motor can be installed within it to provide the power required for movement, enabling the traction head 31 to move on the water surface and thus extend the traction belt 32. For example, the traction head 31 can be a hollow box structure with motors located at both ends or other positions, positioned at the front end of the traction belt 32.

[0084] It is important to note that, considering that the floating debris on the water surface mainly consists of algae such as blue-green algae, as well as oil and various white pollutants, these floating debris are usually floating on the water surface or in the near-water area at a depth of 20 centimeters below the water surface. The water flow on the water surface and in this near-water area has certain fluctuations (i.e., ripples). Therefore, in the process of the floating debris treatment system based on flexible traction in this embodiment of the application moving on the water surface and collecting floating debris using the floating debris collection channel 2, it is necessary to further reduce the impact of water flow fluctuations on the collection of floating debris.

[0085] Therefore, as Figure 13 and 14As shown, at least one lower baffle 8 can be further provided in the floating debris collection channel 2. The lower baffle 8 extends upward from the bottom inner wall of the floating debris collection channel 2, thereby blocking the water flow to a certain extent. The lower baffle 8 can be provided in various ways, such as fixing a baffle to the bottom inner wall of the floating debris collection channel 2, or fixing a baffle to the inner sidewalls at both ends of the floating debris collection channel 2.

[0086] In addition, the number of the lower baffles 8 can be one or more, and the heights of these lower baffles 8 can be the same or different. Since the function of the lower baffles 8 is to block the fluctuation of the water flow, their position can be near the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, for example, 10 cm to 50 cm away from the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2, so as to block the water flow entering the floating debris collection channel 2 near the inlet end and reduce its fluctuations; the height of the lower baffles 8 can be, for example, 10 cm to 30 cm.

[0087] It should be further explained that after the floating debris enters the floating debris collection channel 2, it is necessary to prevent it from flowing out of the channel 2. Considering that the floating debris is on the water surface or near the water, at least one upper baffle 7 can be installed in the floating debris collection channel 2. The heights of these upper baffles 7 can be the same or different. The upper baffle 7 extends downward from the top inner wall of the floating debris collection channel 2, thereby preventing the floating debris from flowing out of the channel 2. There can be one or more upper baffles 7, and their location can be near the inlet end of the floating debris collection channel 2.

[0088] Furthermore, considering that the floating debris collection channel 2 is equipped with an upper baffle 7 and a lower baffle 8 to block water flow fluctuations and floating debris within the channel, at least one upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 8 can further form a staggered height arrangement. This staggered height arrangement (i.e.,...) between the upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 8... Figure 9 The distance between the upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 8 (h) is greater than 8 cm and less than 30 cm. This staggered arrangement of the upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 8 effectively blocks water flow fluctuations and floating debris within the channel. Of course, the distance between the upper baffle 7 and the lower baffle 8 (i.e., the distance between them) is also important. Figure 9 The distance d in the distance should not be too small, otherwise it will be difficult for floating objects on the water surface to enter the floating object collection channel 2. Of course, the distance should not be too large either, otherwise it will be easy for floating objects on the water surface in the floating object collection channel 2 to flow out. Therefore, the distance d can be greater than 30 cm and less than 150 cm.

[0089] For example, in practical applications, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, two lower baffles 8 and one upper baffle 7 can be provided. The height of the first lower baffle 8 is 19 cm, the height of the second lower baffle 8 is 25.5 cm, and the height of the upper baffle 7 is 44 cm. The upper baffle 7 is located between the two lower baffles 8. The distance between the upper baffle 7 and the first lower baffle 8 is 40 cm, and the distance between the upper baffle 7 and the second lower baffle 8 is 100 cm.

[0090] In practical applications, this flexible traction-based floating debris handling system may further include a support base plate and a system control center. The support base plate can be disposed on the surface of the floating island 1, or it can be disposed on the surface of the floating debris collection channel 2. The system control center can be disposed on the surface of the support base plate. To prevent oxidation and corrosion caused by the humid water environment, the support base plate can be made of a rigid plate made of plastic.

[0091] For example, the support base plate can be installed on the entire surface of the floating island 1, and then the system control center can be installed on the surface of the support base plate. The system control center can house various control and monitoring devices to control the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. Considering that the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system needs to operate in the relatively humid environment of the water surface, the system control center can also include a machine room. In this case, the control and monitoring devices can be placed inside the machine room with a certain degree of moisture protection.

[0092] Based on the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system provided in the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application can also provide an intelligent ecological purification island. This intelligent ecological purification island includes the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system provided in the embodiments of this application, as well as detection equipment and / or water ecological purification equipment installed within the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. For example, in practical applications, various devices for monitoring (e.g., monitoring water quality), purifying (e.g., purifying toxic substances in water), and maintaining (e.g., maintaining microorganisms and organisms in water) are typically deployed in the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. These devices can be referred to as detection equipment.

[0093] Of course, water ecological purification equipment can also be set up in the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system. In the process of moving and treating floating debris, the water in multiple locations can be purified. Similarly, the movement of the water surface platform can also be used to maintain the microorganisms and organisms in the water.

[0094] The placement of the detection equipment and / or water ecological purification equipment on the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system can be determined by considering the equipment's own waterproof performance and other aspects. For example, it can be placed on the surface of the support substrate of the flexible traction-based floating debris treatment system, or on the side, bottom, or other locations of the floating island 1. There are no specific limitations on this.

[0095] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
