Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water surface cleaning technology, specifically a water surface garbage collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, not only does floating garbage in ordinary lakes and rivers pollute water quality and the environment, but floating garbage on the water surfaces of some dams and locks, as well as lakes and rivers in tourist areas, also creates an unsightly environment. These areas mainly rely on manual removal, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also costly and dangerous. Therefore, the use of surface garbage collection devices is necessary.

[0003] However, existing surface garbage collection devices are not convenient for adjusting the height of the collection device during the garbage collection process. When the water level is too high, it may overflow, and when it is too low, it cannot reach the garbage. In sloping or waters of varying depths, some garbage may not be collected because the device height is fixed. Furthermore, it is difficult to adjust the draft for garbage of different sizes or types, such as floating leaves and semi-submerged plastic, resulting in missed collection or only surface garbage being collected. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water surface garbage collection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water surface garbage collection device, including a hull, a collection channel is provided below the hull, a collection arm is installed at the end of the collection channel, a retrieval trough communicating with the collection channel is opened above the hull, a collection frame is provided in the retrieval trough, and a lifting component is provided above the collection frame.

[0024] The lifting assembly 4 includes a frame 401, a lead screw 402, a mounting plate 403, a first positioning rod 404, and a second positioning rod 405. The frame 401 is fixed to the hull 1. The lead screw 402 is vertically arranged and passes through the frame 401. The lead screw 402 and the frame 401 are connected by threads. The end of the lead screw 402 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 403. The mounting plate 403 is fixed to the collection frame 3. The first positioning rod 404 and the second positioning rod 405 are fixed to the mounting plate 403, and both the first positioning rod 404 and the second positioning rod 405 pass through the frame 401. The surface of the first positioning rod 404 is provided with several locking grooves 4041, and the frame 401 is provided with a locking assembly 5. Waste is collected through the collection box 3. The collected waste can be moved up and down by rotating the lead screw 402. Since the lead screw 402 is threadedly connected to the bracket 401, the lead screw 402 moves up and down on the bracket 401, thereby driving the collection box 3 to move up and down. The locking assembly 5 is used to fix the height of the collection box 3 by engaging with the locking groove 4041 on the positioning rod.

[0025] Furthermore, the collection arm 2 is equipped with an interception net 201, which is used to intercept garbage on the water surface.

[0026] Furthermore, a crank handle 4021 is fixed to the top of the lead screw 402, and the crank handle 4021 is mainly for facilitating the rotation of the lead screw 402.

[0027] Furthermore, the collection frame 3 is provided with several drainage holes, and a collection inlet 301 is provided on the side of the collection frame 3 near the collection arm 2. The drainage holes can allow water in the collection frame 3 to leak out after the collection frame 3 is raised, and the collected garbage enters the collection frame 3 from the collection inlet 301.

[0028] Furthermore, the locking assembly 5 includes a movable cylinder 501, a movable block 502, a locking block 503, a spring 504, and a stabilizing rod 505. The movable cylinder 501 is fixed on the U-shaped frame 401. The movable block 502, the spring 504, and the stabilizing rod 505 are all disposed inside the movable cylinder 501. The locking block 503 is fixed on the movable block 502, and the locking block 503 passes through the movable cylinder 501 and is inserted into the locking tooth groove 4041 to restrict the first positioning block. The stabilizing rod 505 passes through the movable block 502, and both ends of the stabilizing rod 505 are fixed on the movable cylinder 501. Both ends of the spring 504 are fixed on the movable block 502 and the movable cylinder 501.

[0029] The height of the collection frame 3 is fixed by locking the first positioning rod 404 by inserting the locking block 503 into the locking tooth groove 4041. The locking of the first positioning rod 404 can be released by pushing the movable block 502 backward, causing the movable block 502 to drive the locking block 503 out of the locking tooth groove 4041.

[0030] Furthermore, an active groove 5011 is provided above the active cylinder 501, and a push block 5021 is fixed above the active block 502. The push block 5021 is located inside the active groove 5011. The push block 5021 is mainly used to facilitate pushing the active block 502.

[0031] In summary, during the operation of this device, as the vessel 1 moves, the collection arm 2 with its intercepting net 201 guides floating garbage to the collection channel 101. The garbage then enters the collection frame 3 within the dredging trough 102 with the water flow. The drainage holes on the side wall of the collection frame 3 allow for rapid drainage, reducing the amount of water carried by the garbage. The height of the collection frame 3 can be manually adjusted via the lifting assembly 4. The crank 4021 rotates the screw 402, causing the mounting plate 403 and the collection frame 3 to rise and fall due to the threaded transmission. The first positioning rod 404 engages with the locking assembly 5 to fix the height of the collection frame 3, preventing it from sliding down during operation. In the default state, the spring 504 pushes the movable block 502, causing the locking block 503 to engage in the toothed groove and lock the height. To adjust, the movable block 502 is pushed backward by the push block 5021 to release the lock, allowing adjustment of the screw 402. After the collection frame 3 is raised to its highest position, garbage can be dumped onto the transport ship or the shore.

[0032] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a master control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
