Description

Water surface garbage cleaning device

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a surface of water rubbish clearance technical field, in particular to surface of water rubbish cleaning device.

Technical Field

Waste in rivers, lakes and seas is an increasingly severe environmental problem. For example, a large amount of plastic waste is dumped into the ocean every year, and a large amount of waste floats on the sea surface, which poses a serious threat to the survival of organisms such as fish and birds and the whole ocean ecology, and finally, the food safety of human beings.

The existing technical scheme for cleaning water surface garbage is to use a garbage can which floats in water and is driven by a water pump, wherein a filter screen is arranged. Under the drive of the water pump, water with garbage is sucked into the garbage can from the upper end of the garbage can, the water is discharged from the lower part of the garbage can, the garbage is collected in the filter screen, and the filter screen can be cleaned periodically.

The disadvantage of this solution is that it consumes a lot of electrical energy, which is not easily available in some places, e.g. further off shore, and the equipment is complicated and expensive to manufacture and maintain.

There is therefore a need in the art for an improved solution for recovering surface waste that overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art solutions.

Detailed Description

A surface garbage disposal apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4. Wherein, fig. 1 shows a schematic part view of a water surface garbage disposal apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a surface waste cleaning apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 shows a schematic component view of a surface garbage disposal apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention; and figure 4 shows a schematic use diagram of the water surface garbage cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 2, a water surface garbage disposal apparatus 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 11 which can float on the water surface and has an open top;

a screen 12 removably placed in the housing 11 and capable of containing garbage; and

a cable 13, one end of which is fixed at the bottom of the shell 11 and the other end is fixed on a fixture at the bottom or in the water;

wherein, when the housing 11 containing the sieve 12 is placed in water, the upper edges of the first ends of the housing 11 and the sieve 12 are lower than the water surface, and the upper edges of the second ends of the housing 11 and the sieve 12 opposite to the first ends are located near the water surface;

and wherein the outer contour of the first end of the housing 11 is approximately triangular in cross-section.

The housing 11 may be made of a material having suitable buoyancy or may be hollow so that when the device 10 is placed in water, the device 10 can float horizontally or slightly inclined above the water surface with the upper edge of a first end below the water surface and the upper edge of an opposing second end near the water surface (e.g., may be slightly above or below the water surface). At the same time, the upper edge of the screen 12 placed inside the housing 11 at said first end is also located below the water surface, while the upper edge of the screen 12 at said second end is higher, e.g. located near the water surface (e.g. slightly above or slightly below the water surface). In this way, the water flow can be followed by the water flow from the first end into the sieve 12 in the housing 11, the water flow from the second end out of the housing 11, and the garbage is blocked by the sieve 12 at the second end and retained in the sieve 12.

Furthermore, the first end of the housing 11 has a triangular outer cross-sectional profile, i.e. the first end of the housing 11 forms a pointed end. Meanwhile, one end of the cable 13 is fixed to the bottom of the housing 11 (for example, to a locking ring provided at the bottom of the housing 11), and the other end is fixed to a fixture on the water bottom or in the water, for example, to the bottom of a wharf, an island, a buoy, etc. In this way it is possible to have the first end of the casing 11 always facing the direction of the water flow, with the change of direction of the water flow, the direction of the first end of the casing 11 also changing, just as in the case of flying kites, the head of the kite always facing the wind direction.

The outer contour of the housing 11 may have any shape that enables the first end to always face in the direction of the water flow. For example, the outer contour of the housing 11 may be generally triangular, as shown in fig. 1-2 and 4. As another example, the outer contour of the housing 11 may be shaped as a triangle connecting a rectangle (or other shape), as shown in FIG. 3. The triangle may be approximate, for example, its two sides may be arcs that are concave or convex, and so on. In any case, the outer contour of the housing 11 may take the shape of any kite, ensuring that its first end always faces the direction of the water flow.

In some embodiments of the present invention, both sides and/or the bottom of the housing 11 are provided with fins (not shown). The fins may be provided, for example, at the bottom of the housing 11, and may be similar in position and shape to the ventral fins of a fish; may be provided on both sides of the housing 11 and may be positioned and shaped to resemble the pectoral fins of a fish. The fins help to maintain the stability and directionality of the device 10 in water. The fins may be flaps that are movably connected to the housing 11 or bendable flexible flaps.

The aperture of the 12-mesh filter can be any appropriate size so as to collect garbage such as plastics with different sizes of water surface. Screens 12 of different sizes may be placed in the housing 11 as required to collect floating garbage or oil stains, etc. of different sizes and kinds.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the density of the screen 12 may be greater than the density of water to ensure that the screen 12 is submerged in water. Of course, in other embodiments, the density of the sieve 12 may also be lower than the density of water, and in this case, structures are provided on the sieve and/or the housing to fix the sieve 12 in the housing 11, such as a flange provided inside the housing, etc.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a handle 14 is provided on the screen 12 to facilitate removal of the screen 12 from the housing 11. In this way, it is possible to conveniently reinstall the sieve 12 after cleaning up the refuse collected in the sieve 12.

The housing 11 and screen 12 may have any suitable dimensions, for example, they may be tens of centimeters, meters, tens of meters, hundreds of meters, etc.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface garbage removing device 10 further comprises a water pump (not shown) located at the second end of the housing 11. In such an embodiment, the second end of the surface garbage removing device 10 may be provided with a water outlet, and the water pump may be disposed at the water outlet, so that when the water pump is operated, the flow of water flow can be accelerated, thereby improving the garbage collection efficiency. The water pump may be driven by power lines or by clean energy sources such as solar, wind, tidal, etc. The utility model discloses an in this kind of embodiment, because the water pump is rivers with the horizontal direction with higher speed, compare with the prior art scheme that the water pump is used for forming rivers with the vertical direction, can practice thrift the electric energy. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the water pump may not be included, and the water surface waste is collected purely by means of the natural flow of water.

According to the utility model discloses a surface of water rubbish cleaning device 10 can utilize natural rivers to collect rubbish to the realization does not use (or uses less) electric power and carries out surface of water rubbish clearance automatically effectively, and the simple structure of device has lower manufacturing and maintenance cost.
