Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ecological and environmental protection, specifically a device for efficiently collecting floating organic particles in rivers and lakes. Background Technology

[0002] Floating organic particulate matter is widely distributed in wetlands, lakes, rivers, and oceans, and mainly includes plant seeds, fish eggs, larvae, snails, and other organic life forms. They disperse under the influence of water currents, forming a migration process that significantly impacts ecosystems. These particles not only facilitate species dispersal and reproduction but also influence the structure and species diversity of aquatic communities. Through dispersal, plant seeds can take root and germinate in new environments, and aquatic eggs and larvae can find suitable habitats in different waters.

[0003] Floating organic particulate matter also plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle of aquatic bodies. During microbial degradation, these particles release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, affecting carbon release and absorption in water bodies and thus potentially impacting climate change. Simultaneously, floating organic particulate matter can adsorb pollutants in water, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxic substances. These pollutants spread with the dispersion of particulate matter, increasing the pollution burden on aquatic bodies. Through the food chain, the transfer of pollutants can also have a greater impact on aquatic species and ecosystems.

[0004] However, the collection and investigation of floating organic particulate matter still face technical challenges. Current collection methods suffer from low efficiency and limited coverage, and most rely on manual operation or localized equipment, making it difficult to achieve large-scale unattended collection. Existing collection equipment cannot effectively cope with the complexity of water flow variations and particulate matter distribution. Therefore, there is a need to develop more efficient and automated collection technologies to improve collection efficiency and expand the scope of application. Summary of the Invention

The collection panel is trapezoidal, and cylindrical slide rails are provided on both sides of the collection panel to facilitate smooth sliding of the collection panel on the slide rails and avoid tilting or jamming.

[0012] All four sides of the collection panel can collect particles, enabling comprehensive particle capture under different water flow environments. The collection panel can be adjusted to face the flow, selecting the most advantageous side as the facing side, thereby improving the particle collection efficiency.

[0013] The collection panel is inlaid with a coconut fiber pad, which is 6cm high and has a triangular stepped structure along the height direction.

[0026] Please see Figure 1- 5. This invention provides a device for efficiently collecting floating organic particles in rivers and lakes, comprising components such as a tower-shaped support 1, floats 2, slides 3, collection panels 4, coconut fiber pads 5, ball hinges 6, and fixing buckles 7. The tower-shaped support 1 is connected to four floats 2 via ball hinges 6. The uprights of the tower-shaped support 1 are welded with eight slides 3 for fixing twelve collection panels 4. Coconut fiber pads 5 are embedded in the collection panels 4, and fixing buckles 7 are used to fix the collection panels 4.

[0027] The tower-shaped support 1 is made of stainless steel tubing, providing robust structural support. The tower-shaped support 1 is connected to the float 2 via a ball joint 6. The ball joint 6 allows for a certain degree of rotational freedom between the tower-shaped support 1 and the float 2, enabling the device to flexibly adapt to water level changes and current fluctuations in different water areas, ensuring a stable buoyancy distribution. The tower-shaped support 1 is designed as a stable vertical support structure, ensuring the entire device remains balanced on the water surface.

[0028] The pontoons 2 are made of corrosion-resistant and highly buoyant materials to ensure that the device maintains good buoyancy during long-term use. Each pontoon 2 is designed to be half-submerged in water, which can adapt to different hydrodynamic conditions and ensure that the device can maintain balance even in environments with large changes in water flow, thus ensuring the stability of the system and its effective operation for a long time.

[0029] The slide chute 3 is made of stainless steel, which has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can withstand the impact of water flow for a long time. The design of the slide chute 3 allows the collection panel 4 to slide freely according to water flow conditions, adjusting the angle and position of the panel 4 to optimize the collection range and efficiency of particles. The slide chute 3 has sufficient flexibility to adjust the position of the panel 4 according to different water flow intensities, making particle collection more efficient.

[0030] The collection panel 4 is made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength, and lightweight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material. It is trapezoidal in shape, with cylindrical slide rails on both sides to facilitate smooth sliding on the slide rails 3, preventing tilting or jamming. Each panel 4 is designed for easy disassembly, facilitating cleaning, maintenance, or replacement as needed, preventing damage from water flow impacts, and ensuring continuous and efficient particulate matter collection.

[0031] All four sides of the collection panel 4 can collect particles, enabling comprehensive particle capture under various water flow conditions. The device is designed so that each side can function effectively in the water flow, making it particularly suitable for waters with significant variations in flow direction and velocity. Depending on the requirements, the collection panel 4 can be adjusted to face the current, selecting the most advantageous side to improve particle collection efficiency. This design allows the device to efficiently capture floating particles under different water flow conditions, avoiding the limitations of traditional devices that can only collect particles in a single direction.

[0032] The collection panel 4 is inlaid with a coconut fiber pad 5, the coconut fiber being 6cm high and arranged in a triangular stepped structure along its height. This structure significantly improves the adsorption effect of particulate matter, especially for floating organic particles in the mm to cm range. The coconut fiber pad can effectively capture these particles, ensuring collection efficiency. Coconut fiber has a strong adsorption capacity and, as a natural material, possesses good biodegradability and environmental friendliness, maintaining stability and durability over long-term use. Coconut fiber is also reusable, allowing it to be reused after washing, greatly reducing replacement frequency and lowering maintenance costs.

[0033] The ball hinge 6 is made of high-strength stainless steel and typically consists of a ball head, a ball seat, a limiting ring, and a fixing bracket. It allows for flexible rotational connection in three dimensions and is used to connect the tower-shaped support 1 and the float 2, ensuring the stability and flexible adjustment capability of the device under multi-angle water flow impacts. Compared to traditional ball hinges, the ball hinge 6 in this invention adds a wear-resistant self-lubricating gasket between the contact surfaces of the ball head and the ball seat, effectively reducing rotational friction and extending service life. Simultaneously, by optimizing the limiting ring structure, it enhances the resistance to detachment at extreme angles, ensuring that the collection panel 4 and the coconut fiber pad 5 are always maintained at the optimal angle to improve collection efficiency.

[0034] The fixing buckle 7 is made of stainless steel and is designed in a circular shape. It is used to fix the collection panel 4, ensuring that the panel 4 will not shift or loosen during the collection process, thus maintaining a stable collection effect. The fixing buckle 7 can withstand the pulling force and friction brought by the water flow, and can still ensure that the panel 4 is firmly fixed after long-term use.

[0035] The device of this invention, through the aforementioned design, not only efficiently collects floating particulate matter but also possesses strong environmental adaptability and long-term durability. It is suitable for various aquatic environments such as wetlands, lakes, and rivers, and can operate stably without human intervention, providing a reliable solution for aquatic ecological protection and monitoring. The reusable nature of coconut fiber and the detachable design of panel 4 make the device more convenient and economical during long-term use, improving its overall lifespan and maintenance efficiency. With particle collection and flow-facing adjustment on all four sides, the device of this invention can operate continuously and efficiently under different water flow conditions, significantly improving collection efficiency.

[0036] A device for efficiently collecting floating organic particles in rivers and lakes includes the following steps:

[0037] (1) Design of support system: The tower-shaped support is connected to four pontoons through ball joints, allowing the support and pontoons to rotate freely, thereby adapting to changes in water flow and water level and maintaining the stability of the device. The pontoons are made of corrosion-resistant and buoyant materials to ensure stable operation of the device in different water environments.

[0038] (2) Configuration and adjustment of pontoons: The pontoons are configured at the bottom of the tower support, ensuring that each pontoon is designed so that half of it is submerged in water to provide sufficient buoyancy support. The pontoons are designed to adapt to different hydrodynamic conditions, especially in environments with strong currents or large fluctuations, to ensure the balance and stability of the device and improve the particulate matter collection effect.

[0039] (3) Arrangement and adjustment of collection panels: The collection panels are installed on the tower-shaped bracket and adjusted via slide rails. Each collection panel is designed in a trapezoidal shape and is made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength, and lightweight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material. Cylindrical slide rails are provided on both sides of the panel to ensure free sliding on the slide rails, preventing jamming or displacement. The design of the collection panels allows for easy disassembly for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement. Each collection panel can collect particulate matter, and the angle and position of the panel can be adjusted according to the water flow direction and the distribution of particulate matter to optimize the collection effect.

[0040] (4) Four-sided particle collection and flow-facing adjustment of the collection panel: Particles can be collected from all four sides of the collection panel, ensuring that the device can collect particles comprehensively in a variable water flow environment.

Coconut fiber has a very good capture effect on floating organic particles in the mm to cm range, ensuring that the particles can effectively adhere to the panel. The natural biodegradability of coconut fiber makes it environmentally friendly and reusable. It can be reused after cleaning, greatly reducing the replacement frequency and lowering maintenance costs.

[0042] (6) Application of fixing buckles and panel stability assurance: The ring-shaped fixing buckles made of stainless steel ensure that the collection panel will not shift or loosen during use. The fixing buckles can withstand the pulling force and friction of the water flow, ensuring that the panel remains stable throughout the collection process, preventing uneven collection of particles or panel loosening, which would affect efficiency.

[0043] (7) Automated adjustment and maintenance of the device: The device design of this invention enables unattended operation. By automatically adjusting the angle and position of the collection panel, the collection effect of floating particles is optimized. Through the configuration of the float and tower-shaped support, the device can adapt to changes in water flow, ensuring continuous and efficient collection of particulate matter in dynamic environments. At the same time, the detachable design of the device facilitates regular maintenance and cleaning, ensuring long-term stable operation.

[0044] Through the above steps, the device of this invention can operate stably under different water flow conditions and efficiently collect floating particulate matter.
