Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to water purification technology, specifically a floating solar-powered water purification device suitable for rivers. Background Technology
[0002] River water purification typically uses integrated purification machines, and different sizes of these machines can treat different types of water pollution. These machines generally float on the water surface and are anchored to the riverbed, allowing them to float with changes in the water level via connecting ropes or chains.
[0003] For example, the publication (announcement) number: CN106630195A, publication (announcement) date: 2017-05-10, discloses a water purification device for black and odorous rivers. Its support structure includes solidified microbial tubes, an ecological substrate, and an aeration pipe, which is connected to a compressed air compressor via an air pipe. The use of a compressed air compressor to provide oxygen, combined with the organic integration of solidified microorganisms and the ecological substrate, improves the utilization rate and survival rate of the microorganisms, thereby ensuring the purification efficiency of the entire system. Furthermore, due to the use of a floating support structure, the device can freely adapt to various water depths by moving along guide rails with guide rods, meeting the requirements of rivers with different depths and overcoming the problem of equipment grounding caused by changes in river water levels during the flood season.
[0004] The shortcomings of existing technology are that in rivers with slow-moving flow year-round, weeds and pollutants easily proliferate. When the connecting rope or chain of the integrated purifier is placed in the river, it is easy for them to adhere. During regular manual cleaning, the visibility in the river is low, and the working position of the integrated purifier cannot be easily changed. Therefore, tools can only clean around the connecting rope, which is difficult and time-consuming. At the same time, it is impossible to know whether the attached weeds and pollutants have been completely removed. Some weeds and pollutants may still remain on the connecting rope, which will cause the weeds and pollutants to adhere quickly in the future, increasing the fluid resistance below the integrated purifier. In some cases, the connecting rope and weeds and pollutants may bend when impacted, causing the integrated purifier to be pulled into the water, resulting in severe water intake and damage to some parts of the integrated purifier. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating solar-powered water purification device suitable for rivers, in order to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A floating solar-powered water purification device suitable for rivers includes a purifier equipped with floats and a steel wire rope with anchors fixedly installed. A scraper sleeve is slidably fitted on the steel wire rope, and a blade is fixedly installed at the end of the scraper sleeve, which is distributed around the outer circumference of the steel wire rope. It also includes a connecting rope for pulling the scraper sleeve to move.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the cutting edge of the blade is adjacent to the steel wire rope.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the steel wire rope is provided with a spiral groove, and the scraper sleeve is fixedly installed with a protrusion that slides in the spiral groove.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a notch is provided on the outer wall of the scraper sleeve, and a counterweight frame is sleeved on the outside of the notch.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting rope is fixedly installed on the counterweight frame.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a connecting block that is connected to the purifier is fixedly installed on the steel wire rope.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a float is fixedly installed on the connecting rope.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: an indicator light is fixedly installed at the upper end of the float.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the blade is specifically a stainless steel metal blade.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: the float is provided with a scale.
[0016] In the above technical solution, the floating solar-driven water purification device suitable for rivers provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the scraper sleeve scrapes off the weeds and pollutants attached to the steel wire rope through the end face of the scraper sleeve, while the blade is used to break up the debris that is more firmly attached and difficult to remove. With the participation of the counterweight frame, after the connecting rope is released, the scraper sleeve moves downward and close to the anchor, so that the scraper sleeve can slide repeatedly on the steel wire rope to achieve efficient cleaning, thereby avoiding the problem of the steel wire rope being dragged by the purifier due to the attachment of debris.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution, including the following embodiments: Example 1
[0022] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a component for efficiently cleaning the steel wire rope 21, namely the scraper sleeve 3 assembly. The scraper sleeves 3 on the two steel wire ropes 21 are pulled towards the water surface by the connecting rope 41, allowing the end faces of the scraper sleeves 3 to scrape away weeds and pollutants attached to the steel wire ropes 21. The blades 32 are used to break up firmly attached and difficult-to-remove debris. Furthermore, the counterweight frame 4 allows the scraper sleeves 3 to slide repeatedly along the steel wire ropes 21 after the connecting rope 41 is released, achieving efficient cleaning and preventing the steel wire ropes 21 from being dragged by debris.
[0023] Specifically, the blade faces the steel wire rope 21, allowing it to prioritize removing debris attached to the outside of the rope while preventing cuts to underwater workers and ensuring tool safety. Furthermore, the stainless steel blade 32 enhances corrosion resistance during long-term underwater operation and maintains its sharpness.
[0024] Furthermore, the upper end of the steel wire rope 21 is bound to the connecting block 2, and the connection between the connecting block 2 and the purifier 1 can be welding, bolting, or any other fixing method known to those skilled in the art. When the purifier 1 moves downward as the water level decreases, the excess length of the steel wire rope 21 will actively tilt and reduce the angle between it and the water surface, making it less likely for debris to accumulate on the tilted steel wire rope 21.
[0025] Furthermore, two floats 11 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the purifier 1 to provide buoyancy for the purifier 1 on the water surface. Example 2
[0026] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a spiral stepping motion during the sliding process of the scraper sleeve 3. The screw connection between the protrusion and the spiral groove 22 causes the scraper sleeve 3 to rotate and move up and down on the outside of the wire rope 21, thereby causing multiple blades 32 to rotate, producing a stirring and cleaning effect on the debris, and further improving the debris removal capability.
[0027] Specifically, the spiral groove 22 is a spiral groove formed by multiple steel wires intertwined on the steel wire rope 21, and the protrusion welded on the inner wall of the scraper sleeve 3 matches the spiral groove, thereby enabling the scraper sleeve 3 to rotate when it moves along the direction of the steel wire rope 21.
[0028] Furthermore, the counterweight frame 4 has tubular fittings at both ends, and the tubular fittings are fitted into the notches 31, thereby enabling the scraper sleeve 3 to rotate on both sides of the counterweight frame 4.
[0029] Furthermore, the counterweight frame 4 can keep the scraper sleeves 3 at both ends always next to the anchor 23, ensuring that the horizontally placed counterweight frame 4 does not interfere with the river water flowing between the two steel wire ropes 21. At the same time, it can also increase the counterweight of the anchor 23, so that the anchor 23 can be stably placed in the riverbed, thereby enabling the steel wire rope 21 to have a stable pulling capacity. Example 3
[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a display component to facilitate the up-and-down movement of the counterweight frame 4. A graduated float 42 floats on the water surface and is fixed to the counterweight frame 4 by a connecting rope 41. Holding the float 42 allows it to function as a handle, making it easy for workers to lift the counterweight frame 4. The graduations also display the water level. When the water level remains constant, a higher water level on the float 42 indicates that more debris has accumulated on the connecting rope 41. Consequently, the two steel wire ropes 21 are also more prone to accumulating debris, thus reminding workers to clean them.
[0031] Specifically, indicator light 43 is powered by a storage battery or by the solar panel on the air purifier 1. It can be used as a warning at night or in low light conditions, and the casing of indicator light 43 is waterproof. For example, during strong winds and heavy rains, when water levels rise and debris increases, indicator light 43 can play a greater role in displaying warnings.
[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
