By driving the pump device 3 provided above the floating container 1 by the power supply device 4, the stored water 2 in the floating container 1 is drained to the outside of the floating container 1.

External water is introduced into the floating body 1 from the water guiding section 5 by this drainage, and this water guiding is purified by the purifying section 6 and stored.

That is, when the floating body 1 is floated in a water area to be purified, and if the floating body 1 is not sufficiently filled with water, it is introduced and stored while being purified from the water guiding part 5 by the purifying part 6. By continuing to start the drainage according to 3, the water will be purified while being automatically guided according to the drainage.

Therefore, instead of simply purifying water by directly pumping water from the water with the pump device 3 as in the conventional case, the pump device 3 drains the stored water in the floating container 1 to discharge the external water into the floating container 1. Is introduced from the water guiding section 5 and the introduced water is purified by the purifying section 6. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently and effectively purify with a simple structure.

Further, according to the present invention, the main body on which the pump device 3 and the power supply device 4 are provided is the floating container 1, and the floating member is attached so as to have a buoyancy capable of floating the floating container 1 on water. Instead, by integrally forming the floating container 1 itself with a material having a small specific gravity such as foamed resin (styrofoam), it is not necessary to connect a large number of floating members to the base frame (main body) as in the conventional case. The floating purification device can be configured as described above, is easy to manufacture, and has excellent mass productivity.

The water guiding portion 5 may be formed by penetrating the water guiding hole 5A in the floating container 1, for example, by forming it on the side surface portion of the floating container 1 at a predetermined height position to be immersed in water. A predetermined amount of water can be automatically drawn in the floating body 1, so that the pump device 3 can also easily drain water, and this drainage can automatically guide water to more easily realize a configuration that reliably exhibits the above-mentioned actions and effects. it can.

Further, the purifying section 6 is, for example, simply a water guiding hole 5A.
By appropriately disposing a purifying material such as a filtering material, a chemically changing material, or a catalyst therein, the purifying section 6 for purifying the water can be easily configured, and the floating container 1 is made thick so that the buoyancy is sufficient. If this is done, the length of this water guiding portion 5 (water guiding hole 5A) also becomes longer,
It is also easy to dispose a large amount of purification material in a single layer or a plurality of layers, and when the purification material is packed in a tubular body or the like and detachably disposed in the water guiding hole 5A, by removing the tubular body,
Cleaning and replacement of the purification material will be easy.
