AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current waste collection systems for water environments are inefficient, requiring significant manpower, high fuel consumption, and are limited in their ability to collect waste in narrow areas or underwater, with existing solutions either relying heavily on manual operation or having high initial and maintenance costs, and failing to effectively address the accumulation of pollutants like oil, dirt, and plastic.

Method used

A waste collection system utilizing a floating platform with an impeller that creates a vortex effect to draw in waste, coupled with a cavitation process to reduce water pressure and facilitate automatic waste collection and discharge, powered by an energy supply unit that can be remotely controlled, allowing for operation in various water environments without manual intervention.

Benefits of technology

The system enables efficient, automatic collection and discharge of waste with reduced power consumption, capable of operating in diverse water conditions, including narrow areas and underwater, thereby addressing the limitations of existing systems while minimizing environmental impact.

Abstract

The invention relates to a waste collection system (1) that enables the water to be cleaned by collecting all kinds of wastes such as oil, dirt, mucilage, garbage, etc. accumulated on the surfaces of waters such as sea, lake, stream and / or coastal parts from the surface and bottom of the water, one side of which is mounted to the shore at all kinds of shore-water intersection areas on a fixing surface such as marina, port, scaffold, scaffold leg, bridge legs on rivers; on the other side that is not mounted to the shore, that is placed in water and / or that can be installed on floating water crafts such as rowboat, boat, ship, and / or on all kinds of floating platforms such as pontoon, pontoon scaffolding, or that is connected with a floating platform that can be connected to said platforms and shores (bridge leg, seashore, etc.).
