FLOATING GARBAGE COLLECTION DEVICE WITH A TORQUE MECHANISM OF COMBINING TWO WATER WHEELS

Abstract

This invention discloses a floating waste collection device that utilizes river flow energy as the primary power source. The device comprises two floating pontoons, a waste lifting conveyor, two water wheels symmetrically mounted on the right and left sides of the conveyor, a torque coupling mechanism, a multi-stage transmission system, and a waste collection container. The rotation generated by each water wheel is transmitted to the torque coupling mechanism, resulting in a combined torque used to drive the waste lifting conveyor. The combined torque is then transmitted through a transmission system to operate the conveyor continuously. The configuration of two water wheels operating simultaneously allows for the utilization of river flow energy from both sides of the device, resulting in a more even load distribution, improved operational stability, and increased waste lifting capacity compared to a device with a single water wheel.This invention can be applied to rivers, canals, reservoirs, dams and other aquatic waste management facilities.
