It includes a collection platform body with a treatment frame at its top. A dehydration mechanism is located inside the treatment frame. A feeding mechanism is located on the left side of the collection platform body, and an adjustment mechanism is located at the top left side of the collection platform body. The dehydration mechanism includes a mounting frame, with a conveying device at the top inner side of the mounting frame. A first motor drives a drive gear, which in turn rotates a support roller.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water surface treatment technology, specifically to a blue-green algae collection and treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are a group of large, single-celled prokaryotes with a long evolutionary history. They are Gram-negative, non-flagellated, contain chlorophyll a (but lack chloroplasts), and are capable of aerobic photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria lack organelles such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, centrosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles; their organelles are ribosomes. They contain chlorophyll a but lack chlorophyll b, and contain several types of xanthophyll and carotene, as well as phycobilins.

[0003] A search revealed a mobile cyanobacteria harvesting and processing platform disclosed in publication number CN212835304U. The platform utilizes a dual-axis motor to drive the rotation of a conveyor shaft. A pulley is mounted on the conveyor shaft, which in turn drives the rotation of a belt. A belt is mounted on the pulley, which in turn drives the rotation of a fourth pulley. This fourth pulley is mounted on a third conveyor roller, which in turn drives the rotation of the third roller. The rotation of the roller, in turn, drives the rotation of a harvesting rod, enabling harvesting. Once harvested, the algae are transported to a container via a conveyor belt.

[0004] The cyanobacteria harvesting platform in the aforementioned patent cannot adjust the harvesting width in a timely manner during use, and it is not equipped with a cyanobacteria dehydration device to dehydrate the harvested cyanobacteria. After dehydration, the cyanobacteria are collected in the collection box of the harvesting platform, which reduces the efficiency and quality of cyanobacteria harvesting of the mobile harvesting platform.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A blue-green algae collection and treatment device includes a collection platform body, a treatment frame is provided at the top of the collection platform body, a dehydration mechanism is provided inside the treatment frame, a feeding mechanism is provided on the left side of the collection platform body, and an adjustment mechanism is provided at the top left side of the collection platform body.

[0007] Preferably, a cleaning roller is provided at the top right side of the mounting frame, and a first synchronous pulley is provided at the rear side of both the cleaning roller and the dewatering roller. The two sets of first synchronous pulleys are connected by a first synchronous belt drive.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with two sets of guide rods on both the front and rear inner walls, and movable plates are slidably installed on the outer surfaces of the two sets of guide rods. A collection frame is provided on the inner side of the two sets of movable plates. The collection frame is located directly below the conveying device away from it. A V-shaped water guide groove is formed on the outer surface of the conveying device.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a fixed frame, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the fixed frame, the rear side of the rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor, two sets of rotating shafts are provided, and another set of rotating shafts is rotatably mounted on the left side of the collecting platform body, the outer surfaces of both sets of rotating shafts are set inside the conveyor belt, and the outer surface of the conveyor belt is provided with several sets of first closely spaced toothed plates.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing plate is provided on the right side of the fixing frame, a movable shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the fixing plate, and four sets of second closely spaced toothed plates are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer surface of the movable shaft. The second closely spaced toothed plates and the first closely spaced toothed plates mesh with each other, and a guide plate is provided on the right side of the fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, a second synchronous pulley is provided on the rear side of both the rotating shaft and the movable shaft, and the two sets of second synchronous pulleys are connected by a second synchronous belt drive.

The top right side of each set of adjustment plates is fixedly mounted at the output end of a third motor. The two sets of third motors are located inside a waterproof shell. Both sets of waterproof shells are located at the top of the guide plates.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: First, the adjustable mechanism enables flexible and precise adjustment of the retrieval width. By simultaneously controlling two third motors to drive the movable plate to rotate, the angle of the movable plate relative to the guide plate can be adjusted simultaneously. This allows the device to quickly change the effective working range between the two collection units according to the aggregation width of cyanobacteria in different water areas, significantly enhancing the adaptability of the retrieval operation to complex water environments and thus effectively improving retrieval efficiency. Second, the dehydration mechanism, driven by a first motor to a drive gear, rotates the support roller and simultaneously the dehydration roller through gear transmission. The dehydration roller, in conjunction with the conveying device, squeezes and dehydrates the cyanobacteria. The V-shaped water guide groove on the outer surface of the conveying device can quickly drain the squeezed water, achieving effective dehydration of the retrievaled cyanobacteria. The dehydrated cyanobacteria are smaller in volume, occupy less collection space, and are easier to process later, improving the quality of cyanobacteria retrieval. At the same time, the cleaning roller located at the top right of the mounting frame rotates synchronously with the dehydration roller through a first synchronous wheel and a first synchronous belt, which can promptly clean the residual cyanobacteria on the dehydration roller, ensuring the normal operation of the dehydration roller and further improving the dehydration effect and the stability of the device.

[0017] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, a blue-green algae collection and treatment device includes a collection platform body 1, a treatment frame 2 at the top of the collection platform body 1, a dehydration mechanism 3 inside the treatment frame 2, a feeding mechanism 4 on the left side of the collection platform body 1, and an adjustment mechanism 5 at the top left side of the collection platform body 1. The dehydration mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a conveying device 302 at the top inner side of the mounting frame 301 (using a conventional belt conveyor), a dehydration roller 303 at the top inner side of the mounting frame 301 and inside the conveying device 302, a support roller 304, and a scraper 305 positioned at the dehydration roller 303 on the mounting frame 301. A fixed scraper 305 is also provided at the rear of the dehydration roller 303. A driven gear 306 is fixedly installed on the support roller 304, and a driving gear 307 is provided on the rear side of the support roller 304. The rear side of the driving gear 307 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor 308. A cleaning roller 309 is provided on the top right side of the mounting frame 301. A first synchronous pulley 310 is provided on the rear side of the cleaning roller 309 and the rear side of the dewatering roller 303. The two sets of first synchronous pulleys 310 are connected by a first synchronous belt 311. Two sets of guide rods 312 are provided on the front and rear inner walls of the mounting frame 301. Movable plates 313 are slidably installed on the outer surface of the two sets of guide rods 312. A collection frame 314 is provided on the inner side of the two sets of movable plates 313. The collection frame 314 is located directly below the conveying device 302 away from it. A V-shaped water guide groove is opened on the outer surface of the conveying device 302.

[0019] In this design, the first motor 308 drives the drive gear 307 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 306 and the dewatering roller 303 to rotate. This achieves a synergistic dewatering effect of the dewatering roller 303 and the support roller 304 on the cyanobacteria on the conveying device 302. Furthermore, the scraper 305, in contact with the surface of the dewatering roller 303, effectively removes the cyanobacteria adhering to the roller surface after dewatering, ensuring the continuous working efficiency of the dewatering roller 303. Additionally, the V-shaped water guide grooves on the outer surface of the conveying device 302 further enhance the dewatering efficiency. The structure enables rapid diversion and separation of water during the extrusion process. By incorporating a movable plate 313 that slides along the guide rod 312 and a collection frame 314, the separated liquid water is collected centrally through their arrangement below the conveying device 302. Simultaneously, the cleaning roller 309 is driven to rotate by the dewatering roller 303 via the first synchronous belt 311 and the first synchronous pulley 310, thereby continuously cleaning the working surface of the dewatering roller 303, preventing algae from adhering and ensuring the stable operation of the dewatering process.

[0020] Reference Figures 2-5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 401. A rotating shaft 402 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the fixed frame 401. The rear side of the rotating shaft 402 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 403. Two sets of rotating shafts 402 are provided. Another set of rotating shafts 402 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the collection platform body 1. The outer surfaces of both sets of rotating shafts 402 are set inside the conveyor belt 404. Several sets of first closely spaced toothed plates 405 are provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 404. A fixed plate 406 is provided on the right side of the fixed frame 401. A movable shaft 407 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the fixed plate 406. A second synchronous pulley 409 is provided on the rear side of both the rotating shaft 402 and the movable shaft 407. The two sets of second synchronous pulleys 409 are connected by a second synchronous belt 410. Four sets of second closely spaced toothed plates 408 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer surface of the movable shaft 407. The second closely spaced toothed plates 408 and the first closely spaced toothed plates 405 mesh with each other. A guide plate 411 is provided on the right side of the fixed plate 406.

[0021] In this scheme, the second motor 403 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 404 and the first toothed plate 405 to move, realizing the continuous upward conveying of blue-green algae from the water surface. The movable shaft 407 and the second toothed plate 408, which are linked by the second synchronous belt 410, achieve compaction and stable pushing of blue-green algae on the conveyor belt 404 through their interlocking action with the first toothed plate 405, effectively preventing the material from slipping during the lifting process and ensuring the continuity and reliability of the feeding. The guide plate 411, through its specific inclined structure, smoothly guides the compacted blue-green algae to the subsequent processing station, completing the transition and transfer of materials.

[0022] Reference Figure 3As shown, a guide plate 201 is provided at the top of the inside of the processing frame 2, and a water outlet pipe 202 is connected to the front right side of the processing frame 2.

[0023] In this scheme, the guide plate 201, through its specific inclined structure, effectively receives and guides the wastewater squeezed out during the dewatering process. Through the set water outlet pipe 202, the wastewater collected by the guide plate 201 is concentrated and quickly discharged outside the device, thereby effectively preventing the wastewater from stagnating and overflowing inside the treatment frame 2.

[0024] Reference Figures 2-3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes a fixed rod 501, and two sets of fixed rods 501 are provided. The two sets of fixed rods 501 are located at the top left side of the collection platform body 1. The bottom end of each set of fixed rods 501 is provided with a guide plate 502. The top left side of each set of guide plates 502 is rotatably mounted with an adjustment plate 503. The top right side of each set of adjustment plates 503 is fixedly mounted at the output end of a third motor 505. The two sets of third motors 505 are respectively located inside a waterproof shell 504. Both sets of waterproof shells 504 are located at the top of the guide plates 502.

[0025] In this design, two sets of third motors 505 receive command signals from the control system. According to the command, the output of the third motor 505 begins to rotate. When the output of the third motor 505 rotates, it drives the adjusting plate 503 to rotate around its axis on the guide plate 502. If the control system issues a command to rotate 30° clockwise, the two sets of third motors 505 will synchronously and precisely rotate the corresponding angle, thus driving the adjusting plate 503 to rotate 30° clockwise. If a command to rotate 45° counterclockwise is issued, the two sets of third motors 505 will also synchronously move, causing the adjusting plate 503 to rotate 45° counterclockwise. Through this precise control method, flexible and accurate adjustment of the angle of the adjusting plate 503 is achieved. The adjustment angle range can be set from 0 to 90° or even larger according to actual needs to meet the usage requirements under different working conditions. Furthermore, the waterproof housing 504 provides a sealed enclosure for the third motors 505, ensuring the long-term accuracy and stability of the angle control action.

[0026] It should be noted that the conveying device 302 and the conveyor belt 404 mentioned above are both existing technologies and will not be described further here.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the device is started, the control system first sends instructions to the two sets of third motors 505 to drive their output shafts to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting plate 503 to rotate around the mounting point. By precisely controlling the rotation angle of the third motor 505, the angle of the two adjusting plates 503 can be adjusted synchronously or independently within the range of zero to ninety degrees to set the optimal collection width. The blue-green algae is then guided to the feeding mechanism 4 by the guide plate 502. The second motor 403 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate, driving the conveyor belt 404 equipped with the first toothed plate 405 to move, lifting the blue-green algae from the water surface. At the same time, the rotating shaft 402 drives the movable shaft 407 to rotate through the second synchronous wheel 409 and the second synchronous belt 410, so that the second toothed plate 408 and the first toothed plate 405 form an interlocking motion, compacting and stabilizing the lifted blue-green algae. The compacted blue-green algae is then guided by the guide plate 411. Inside the guide processing frame 2, when the cyanobacteria enter the processing frame 2, they fall onto the conveying device 302 of the dehydration mechanism 3. The first motor 308 drives the drive gear 307 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 306 and the dehydration roller 303 to rotate. The dehydration roller 303 cooperates with the support roller 304 to squeeze and dehydrate the cyanobacteria on the conveying device 302. The squeezed water flows down through the V-shaped water guide groove of the conveying device 302 and is collected by the collection frame 314 below. The cyanobacteria attached to the surface of the dehydration roller 303 are scraped off by the scraper 305. The cleaning roller 309 cleans the surface of the dehydration roller 303 through the transmission of the first synchronous belt 311 to ensure its continuous and effective operation. Finally, during the dehydration process, the squeezed wastewater is received and guided by the guide plate 201 and finally discharged from the device through the outlet pipe 202. The dehydrated cyanobacteria are then transported to the collection frame 314 by the conveying device 302.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model.
