Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water maintenance technology, and in particular relates to a salvage and ice-breaking device. Background Technology

[0002] The removal of floating debris (such as weeds and garbage) and the breaking of ice in winter are two core needs in water area maintenance.

[0003] Traditional solutions have significant drawbacks: Functional separation: Salvage devices rely on manual nets or robotic arms, which are inefficient and have limited coverage. Furthermore, ice-breaking equipment often uses chemical melting or mechanical chiseling, which is costly and environmentally damaging.

[0004] Lack of automation: Water level and ice thickness rely on manual monitoring, which is slow to respond, and the equipment cannot automatically switch modes according to the season, requiring frequent modifications.

[0005] Energy efficiency imbalance: water flow disturbance during salvage causes floating objects to escape, resulting in a high rate of repetitive operations. Furthermore, energy is dispersed during ice breaking, leading to rapid ice regeneration.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a salvage and ice-breaking device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a salvage and ice-breaking device that has the advantages of high functional integration, full closed-loop automation, and deep energy efficiency optimization, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the ice-breaking salvage device of this utility model is as follows: An ice-breaking and salvage device includes a water tank for holding water and floating objects. The water tank has multiple sets of sieve holes, through which floating objects can be collected. The water tank is equipped with a lifting component that can move the water tank up and down. The buoyancy of the water tank is used to control whether the water tank rises or falls. The water tank is equipped with a drainage component that is controlled to open and close according to the water level change. When the drainage component is activated, it drains the water in the water tank or breaks the ice.

[0009] Furthermore, the drainage component includes a water pump, the output end of which is connected to a drain pipe. The pump is controlled to start and stop according to the water level changes in the tank. When the pump starts, the water in the tank is drained or ice is broken through the drain pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the drainage pipe includes a main pipe, a first branch pipe, and a second branch pipe. The main pipe is connected to the output end of the water pump. The end of the main pipe away from the output end of the water pump is connected to the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe. The output port of the first branch pipe is located above the water tank, and the output port of the second branch pipe is located below the output port of the first branch pipe. The drainage assembly is equipped with a salvage drainage mode and an ice-breaking drainage mode. When the drainage system is in the salvage and drainage state, the first branch pipe drains water to push the water surface, and the second branch pipe drains water to drain the water tank. When the drainage system is in ice-breaking drainage mode, the first branch pipe drains water to break the ice on the water surface, and the second branch pipe drains water to push the flow at a deeper level.

[0011] Furthermore, a temperature detection device is installed on the water tank to detect the ambient temperature. The temperature detection device has a first temperature threshold. When the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection device is lower than the first temperature threshold, the drainage component is activated to enter the ice-breaking drainage state.

[0012] Furthermore, a water level detection device is installed on the water tank to detect the water level height. The water level detection device has a first water level threshold and a second water level threshold. When the water level height detected by the water level detection device is higher than the first water level threshold, the drainage component is activated to enter the salvage and drainage state. When the water level height detected by the water level detection device is lower than the second water level threshold, the drainage component is shut down and exits the salvage and drainage state.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame, on which the lifting assembly is mounted.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a motor, the output end of which is connected to a pull rope, and the end of the pull rope away from the motor is connected to a hook. The pull rope is fixedly connected to the water tank through the hook, and the motor's forward or reverse rotation is controlled according to the buoyancy of the water tank.

[0015] Furthermore, a tension detection device is installed on the pull rope to detect changes in the buoyancy of the water tank. The tension detection device has a first tension threshold and a second tension threshold. When the water tank is placed in the water, if the buoyancy of the water tank detected by the tension detection device is lower than the first tension threshold, the motor stops lowering the water tank. When the water tank is in the water, if the buoyancy of the water tank detected by the tension detection device is greater than the second tension threshold, the motor starts to lift the water tank.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes an alarm that is activated when the drainage assembly is frequently started and stopped, and the lifting assembly is activated to lift the water tank to the water surface.

[0017] Furthermore, the water tank is equipped with ultraviolet lamps. When the drainage components are in ice-breaking and drainage mode, the ultraviolet lamps are activated to eliminate floating debris.

[0018] This utility model has the following advantages: the water tank integrates the functions of retrieval, ice breaking and algae suppression, reducing the equipment footprint and maintenance complexity, and it does not require manual control, automatically carrying out retrieval or ice breaking, while providing energy on demand and directional fluid delivery to deeply optimize energy efficiency.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0022] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 This invention describes a salvage and ice-breaking device.

[0023] Currently, traditional salvage and icebreaking solutions have significant drawbacks: Functional separation: Salvage devices rely on manual nets or robotic arms, which are inefficient and have limited coverage. Furthermore, ice-breaking equipment often uses chemical melting or mechanical chiseling, which is costly and environmentally damaging.

[0024] Lack of automation: Water level and ice thickness rely on manual monitoring, which is slow to respond, and the equipment cannot automatically switch modes according to the season, requiring frequent modifications.

[0025] Energy efficiency imbalance: water flow disturbance during salvage causes floating objects to escape, resulting in a high rate of repetitive operations. Furthermore, energy is dispersed during ice breaking, leading to rapid ice regeneration.

[0026] Therefore, this salvage and ice-breaking device includes a water tank 1, which is used to hold water and floating objects. The water tank 1 has multiple sets of screen holes 11, through which floating objects can be collected. The multiple sets of screen holes 11 form a gradient filtration layer, realizing automatic separation of floating objects from the water. The water tank 1 is equipped with a lifting component 5, which can drive the water tank 1 to move up and down. The buoyancy of the water tank 1 is used to control whether the water tank 1 rises or falls. The water tank 1 is equipped with a drainage component 2, which is controlled to open and close according to the water level change of the water tank 1. When the drainage component 2 is activated, it drains the water in the water tank 1 or breaks the ice.

[0027] The drainage assembly 2 includes a water pump 21, the output end of which is connected to a drainage pipe 22. The water pump 21 is controlled to start and stop according to the water level change in the water tank 1. When the water pump 21 is started, the water in the water tank 1 is discharged or ice is broken through the drainage pipe 22. Specifically, the drainage pipe 22 includes a main pipe 223, a first branch pipe 221 and a second branch pipe 222. The main pipe 223 is connected to the output end of the water pump 21. The end of the main pipe 223 away from the output end of the water pump 21 is connected to the first branch pipe 221 and the second branch pipe 222. The output port of the first branch pipe 221 is located above the water tank 1 and above the water surface. The output port of the second branch pipe 222 is located below the output port of the first branch pipe 221. The drainage assembly 2 has a salvage drainage state and an ice-breaking drainage state. When the drainage component 2 is in the salvage and drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 drains water to push the water surface, thereby changing the water surface flow state and guiding the floating objects on the water surface to be collected by the water tank 1. The second branch pipe 222 drains water to discharge the water in the water tank 1. When the drainage component 2 is in the ice-breaking drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 drains water to break the ice layer on the water surface, and the second branch pipe 222 drains water to focus energy through deep-position thrust flow, directly impacting the weak points of the ice layer. In addition, the drainage component 2 directly pumps water out of the water tank 1 to lower the water level inside the water tank 1, causing the water outside the water tank 1 (the surrounding water body) to replenish the tank, thereby breaking the ice layer balance and forming local water flow disturbance.

[0028] When the drainage component 2 is in the salvage and drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 is corrugated and its outlet is tilted towards the water surface to change the water flow state, so as to push the floating objects on the distant water surface to the collection area of ​​the water tank 1. In other embodiments of this utility model, when the drainage component 2 is in the salvage and drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 can also be in other shapes, as long as it can ensure that the outlet of the first branch pipe 221 can change the water flow state.

[0029] When the drainage component 2 is in the ice-breaking drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 has multiple T-shapes, that is, the first branch pipe 221 has multiple outlets, and the multiple outlets are all perpendicular to the water surface to break the ice layer on the water surface. In other embodiments of this utility model, when the drainage component 2 is in the ice-breaking drainage state, the first branch pipe 221 can also be other shapes, as long as it can ensure that the outlets of the first branch pipe 221 break the ice layer on the water surface.

[0030] Both the first and second branch pipes are equipped with on / off valves 23, which can be used to control whether the branch is connected to the main pipe 223.

[0031] The water tank 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor to detect the ambient temperature. The temperature sensor has a first temperature threshold. When the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the first temperature threshold, the drainage assembly 2 is activated to enter the ice-breaking drainage state. Preferably, the temperature detection element is a temperature sensor. In other embodiments of this utility model, it may also be other temperature detection components.

[0032] Specifically, the first temperature threshold is 1°C. When the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection device is lower than 1°C, winter is entered by default, and the drainage component 2 starts to drain water. In other embodiments of this utility model, the first temperature threshold can also be other temperature values, which can be adjusted according to actual factors.

[0033] This salvage and ice-breaking device also includes a controller 8. The temperature detection element is electrically connected to the drainage component 2 through the controller 8. When the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection element is lower than 1°C, the controller 8 controls the drainage component 2 to enter the ice-breaking and drainage state.

[0034] The water tank 1 is equipped with a water level detection device 3 to detect the water level height of the water tank 1. The water level detection device 3 is equipped with a first water level threshold and a second water level threshold. When the water level height detected by the water level detection device 3 is higher than the first water level threshold, the drainage component 2 is activated to enter the salvage and drainage state. When the water level height detected by the water level detection device 3 is lower than the second water level threshold, the drainage component 2 is deactivated to exit the salvage and drainage state.

[0035] Preferably, the water level detection component 3 includes a U-shaped tube 31 and a float level gauge 32. The U-shaped tube 31 is installed next to the water tank 1 to assist in water level measurement. The U-shaped tube 31 provides a stable water level reference through physical connection to the water tank 1, ensuring the accuracy of the float level gauge 32 and thus avoiding misjudgment caused by water level fluctuations. The float level gauge 32 is integrated on the U-shaped tube and is responsible for detecting the real-time water level in the water tank 1. The float level gauge 32 outputs a 4-20mA DC signal to the controller 8 as direct feedback on water level changes, so as to determine whether to start or stop the water pump 21 in the grass removal state. In other embodiments of this utility model, other water level detection components can also be used, as long as they can accurately detect the water level height.

[0036] Specifically, the first water level threshold is 80cm, and the second water level threshold is 30cm. When the water level detected by the float level gauge 32 is higher than 80cm, the drainage component 2 is activated to enter the salvage and drainage state. When the water level detected by the float level gauge 32 is lower than 30cm, the drainage component 2 is deactivated to exit the salvage and drainage state. In other embodiments of this utility model, the first water level threshold and the second water level threshold can also be other height values, which can be adjusted according to the actual use.

[0037] The water level detection component 3 is electrically connected to the drainage component 2 via the controller 8. When the water level detected by the float level gauge 32 is higher than 80cm, the controller 8 controls the drainage component 2 to start and enter the salvage and drainage state. When the water level detected by the float level gauge 32 is lower than 30cm, the controller 8 controls the drainage component 2 to close and exit the salvage and drainage state.

[0038] This salvage and ice-breaking device also includes a support frame 4, and a lifting assembly 5 is mounted on the support frame 4. The support frame 4 is a fixing component that provides support for the lifting assembly 5.

[0039] The lifting assembly 5 includes a motor 51, the output end of which is connected to a pull rope 52. The end of the pull rope 52 away from the motor 51 is connected to a hook. The pull rope 52 is fixedly connected to the water tank 1 through the hook. The motor 51 is controlled to rotate forward or backward according to the buoyancy of the water tank 1. Specifically, the pull rope 52 is equipped with a tension detection element 6 to detect changes in the buoyancy of the water tank 1. The tension detection element 6 is equipped with a first tension threshold and a second tension threshold. When the water tank 1 is placed in the water, if the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension detection element 6 is lower than the first tension threshold, it indicates that the water tank 1 is suspended in the water and the buoyancy balances the gravity. The motor 51 stops lowering the water tank 1. When the water tank 1 is in the water, if the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension detection element 6 is greater than the second tension threshold, it indicates that the buoyancy is abnormally high and the floating objects are seriously blocking the water. The motor 51 starts to lift the water tank 1 so that the floating objects accumulated on the screen can be manually cleaned.

[0040] Preferably, the tension detection component 6 is a tension sensor 61. The tension sensor 61 is used to detect the change in buoyancy of the water tank 1. The tension sensor 61 outputs a 4-20mA DC signal to the PLC to detect the buoyancy state of the water tank 1. In other embodiments of this utility model, it can also be other components for detecting temperature.

[0041] Specifically, the first tension threshold is 10 kg, and the second tension threshold is 20 kg. When the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension sensor 61 is less than 10 kg, the lifting component 5 closes and stops lowering. When the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension sensor 61 is greater than 20 kg, the lifting component 5 starts to pull the water tank 1 up. In other embodiments of this utility model, the first tension threshold and the second tension threshold can also be other tension values, which can be adjusted according to the actual use.

[0042] The tension detection component 6 is electrically connected to the lifting assembly 5 via the controller 8. When the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension sensor 61 is less than 10 kg, the controller 8 controls the lifting assembly 5 to close and stop lowering. When the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension sensor 61 is greater than 20 kg, the controller 8 controls the lifting assembly 5 to start and pull the water tank 1 up.

[0043] Preferably, after the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension detection device 6 is lower than the first tension threshold, the controller 8 starts a 1.5-second delay, and the motor 51 stops immediately after the delay ends.

[0044] When floating objects clog the screen holes 11, slowing down the drainage of the water tank 1, the buoyancy of the water tank 1 increases and it naturally floats up. When natural floating is insufficient to resolve the blockage, the buoyancy of the water tank 1 detected by the tension sensor 61 is higher than 20 kg. The controller 8 controls the motor 51 to reverse and forcibly lift the water tank 1 above the water surface. The controller 8 can also control the alarm to be activated to remind people to clean the floating objects accumulated on the screen.

[0045] This salvage and ice-breaking device also includes an alarm. When the drainage component 2 is frequently started and stopped, the alarm is activated and the lifting component 5 is activated to lift the water tank 1 to the water surface, so that the floating objects accumulated on the screen can be manually cleaned.

[0046] The water tank 1 is equipped with ultraviolet lamps 7. When the drainage component 2 is in the ice-breaking drainage state, the ultraviolet lamps 7 are activated. The ultraviolet light inhibits the growth of algae, keeps the water tank 1 clean, and prevents the sieve holes 11 from clogging. Specifically, there are four sets of ultraviolet lamps 7. In other embodiments of this utility model, the number of ultraviolet lamps 7 may also be other.

[0047] This salvage and icebreaking device also includes a touchscreen, which is electrically connected to the controller 8, providing a human-machine interface. Operators can input and modify key parameters through it, translating manual settings into commands from the controller 8, thus improving operational flexibility.

[0048] This utility model integrates the functions of retrieval, ice breaking, and algae suppression in a water tank, reducing the equipment footprint and maintenance complexity. It also requires no manual control, automatically performing retrieval or ice breaking, while providing energy on demand and directional fluid delivery for deep energy efficiency optimization.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
