Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of algae removal technology, and in particular to an intelligent device for removing algae from surface water. Background Technology

[0002] The abundant proliferation of surface algae in water bodies mainly includes cyanobacteria (such as Microcystis and Anabaena), green algae (such as Spirogyra and Chlamydomonas), and dinoflagellates (such as Gymnodinium). These algae typically proliferate under eutrophic, high-temperature, or stagnant water conditions. These algae form green, blue-green, or reddish-brown foam or oily films that cover the water surface, blocking sunlight, causing underwater plant death, and a decrease in dissolved oxygen, ultimately leading to fish suffocation. Some algae (such as cyanobacteria) also release toxins, polluting drinking water sources and threatening human and animal health. Furthermore, the decomposition of dead algae produces foul odors, disrupting the aquatic ecological balance and impacting fisheries, tourism, and water supply security. Therefore, continuous removal of surface water algae is necessary.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent publication number CN105756025A discloses an algae removal device, comprising a floating body with a first elastic cable and a second elastic cable on it. A net is fixedly connected to the floating body, and several rakes are provided on the net. The floating body is made of hollow polyvinyl chloride plastic, and the angle between the rakes and the plane of the floating body is not less than 70 degrees.

[0004] To address the problems of the aforementioned technologies, such as their ineffectiveness in handling granular algae like cyanobacteria and diatoms, and the reduced forward efficiency and algae flow away from the device when excessive algae accumulates in front of the rake, a smart surface algae removal device is proposed.

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an intelligent surface water algae removal device includes multiple drive components 1. Each drive component 1 is a small boat with a propeller, which can provide buoyancy and power from both sides and achieve steering through the thrust difference between the two propellers. This is an existing control technology. A top support 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive component 1. Multiple sprockets 4 are rotatably connected to the middle of the top support 3. A retrieval motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the top support 3. The power output end of the retrieval motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the sprocket 4. A chain 5 is driven to one end of the sprocket 4. Two sprockets 4 on the same axis are fixedly connected to each other, so that the chains 5 at both ends can rotate synchronously. Plate chains 6 are fixedly installed in the middle of the chains 5 on both sides. A screen 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the plate chains 6. A scraper 19 is slidably connected to the lower end of the screen 7. Lifting and adjusting components are fixedly connected to both sides of the scraper 19.

[0030] The top support 3 is installed at an angle, so that the two sprockets 4 at one end are submerged in the water. When the sprockets 4, chain plates 5 and screen 7 rotate clockwise in sync, the granular algae on the water surface can be scooped up and moved upward through the screen 7. The aperture of the screen 7 is smaller than the algae that needs to be scooped up, and different screens 7 can be replaced according to the algae to be scooped up. The screen 7 can be fixed by bolts threaded into the chain plate 6.

[0031] As the algae move along with the screen 7, water will fall through the holes to reduce the water content of the algae. As the screen 7 rotates, the algae will fall when it rotates to the bottom. At this time, the scraper 19 will further scrape off the attached algae, realizing the recycling of the screen 7. It can scoop out granular algae without reducing the scooping efficiency due to prolonged use.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lifting adjustment assembly includes a lifting bracket 18, a lifting push rod 17, and multiple guide rollers 20. The scraper 19 is fixedly connected to the inside of the lifting bracket 18 on both sides. Four guide rollers 20 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the lifting bracket 18. The two upper guide rollers 20 are rotatably connected to the inside of the plate chain 6, and the lower guide roller 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the screen 7. The telescopic end of the lifting push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lifting bracket 18.

[0033] A closed cover 16 is fixedly connected below the lifting bracket 18. The closed cover 16 is made of flexible material. A collection box 2 is fixedly connected below the closed cover 16. The two sides of the collection box 2 are fixedly connected to the drive component 1. The lower fixed end of the lifting push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the collection box 2.

[0034] The lifting push rods 17 on both sides can extend and retract simultaneously. The lifting bracket 18 drives the upper and lower sets of four guide rollers 20 to move, which can squeeze the screen 7 and the plate chain 6 to tighten them, while keeping the screen 7 in contact with the scraper 19 stable, ensuring the effect of scraping algae.

[0035] The scraped-off algae fall into collection box 2 for centralized storage and recycling;

[0036] The collection box 2 has a bent feeding ramp 12 at the bottom, and the feeding ramp 12 has multiple filter holes 13. The rear side of the collection box 2 is rotatably connected to the discharge plate 11. The feeding ramp 12 allows algae to accumulate at the bottom of the rear side of the collection box 2. The filter holes 13 have a smaller diameter than algae, which can further discharge excess water.

[0037] In this embodiment, a backflush nozzle 21 is fixedly connected above the lifting bracket 18. An air pump 23 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the backflush nozzle 21 through a pipe. The air pump 23 is fixedly connected to the top bracket 3 on one side. The air pump 23 sprays gas through the backflush nozzle 21. The air nozzle of the backflush nozzle 21 is aimed above the scraper 19. This allows backflush cleaning to be performed while scraping algae, further improving the cleaning effect of the screen 7.

[0038] In this embodiment: the top support 3 is installed at an angle, so that the two sprockets 4 at one end are submerged in the water. When the sprockets 4, chain plates 5 and screen 7 rotate clockwise in sync, the granular algae on the water surface can be scooped up and moved upward through the screen 7. The aperture of the screen 7 is smaller than the algae to be scooped, and different screens 7 can be replaced according to the different algae to be scooped. The screen 7 can be fixed by bolts threaded into the chain plate 6.

[0039] As the algae move along with the screen 7, water will fall through the holes to reduce the water content of the algae. As the screen 7 rotates, the algae will fall when it rotates to the bottom. At this time, the scraper 19 will further scrape off the attached algae, realizing the recycling of the screen 7. It can scoop out granular algae without reducing the scooping efficiency due to prolonged use.

[0040] The lifting push rods 17 on both sides can extend and retract simultaneously. The lifting bracket 18 drives the upper and lower sets of four guide rollers 20 to move, which can squeeze the screen 7 and the plate chain 6 to tighten them, while keeping the screen 7 in contact with the scraper 19 stable, ensuring the effect of scraping algae.

[0041] The scraped-off algae fall into collection box 2 for centralized storage and recycling;

[0042] The air pump 23 sprays gas through the backwash nozzle 21, and the air nozzle of the backwash nozzle 21 is aimed above the scraper 19. This allows backwash cleaning to be performed while scraping off algae, further improving the cleaning effect of the screen 7.

The guide plate 10 can guide a larger area of ​​algae onto the screen 7, allowing the screen 7 to remove a larger area of ​​algae. The guide plate 10 can also change the cleanable width by adjusting the telescopic angle of the push rod 15.

[0046] In this embodiment, a control host 8 is fixedly connected to the top bracket 3 on one side, and an image recognition component 9 is fixedly connected above the control host 8. The control host 8 is electrically connected to the electronic components inside the device.

[0047] The control host 8 has a control chip and a wireless signal transmission component installed on the circuit board, which can be used to remotely control and receive commands to control the start and stop of electronic components in the device. At the same time, the image recognition component 9 on top is equipped with a camera, which can be used to capture the scene in front of the device for easy remote control operation.
