Description

Apparatus for collection of floating waste on water surface

The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting floating waste on the surface, and more particularly, to an apparatus for collecting floating waste, which floats on the surface of an ocean, an appeal, a river, etc., and causes serious environmental damage.

 In general, the major sources of waste such as sea, lakes, rivers, etc. are largely classified into land and sea sources.

In the case of land origin, wastes inevitably generated by human living and industrial activities flow into the sea, and are mainly concentrated inland or on the coast, and maritime origin is mostly caused by marine economic activities such as fisheries and ship operations. Occupies.

In Korea, land waste is intensively introduced into the sea, lakes, or rivers during the summer rainy season, when floods and typhoons follow.

In particular, marine waste flowing into the sea is one of the main causes of fishing waste, because of the large proportion of coastal fisheries in Korea's fisheries.

By the way, even though these wastes are suspended in the early stages of inflow, the water content increases over time and gradually sinks into the water due to the increase in their own weight due to the attachment of various microorganisms or shellfish.

In the case of the sea, it is accumulated in intertidal zone according to tidal activity, which is the main cause of polluting the seabed or waterfront area, and the coastal pollution caused by these wastes is a social problem.

In this case, physical removal is not easy, and the amount of manpower and expenses required increases so much that the collection itself is abandoned. As a result, it is a continuous source of pollution. It also acts as a factor causing other environmental pollution.

  Accordingly, removing the floating wastes flowing into the water phase using physical means in the shortest possible time is a realistic alternative to preventing the wastes.

However, the conventional method of collecting the floating waste is to collect the floating waste with a note net by mobilizing a large number of people and general ships or to process the floating waste with a collection vessel dedicated to waste by the Marine Environment Management Agency. There is a limit.

In particular, most of the floating waste collection vessels operated in Korea are catamarans, which are conveyor collection methods of about 10 ~ 30 tons, and the collection range is limited to the line width. It is difficult to proactively deal with floating waste that flows into the rainy season or moves to the wind or algae in coastal waters.

Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 97-13545 discloses a floating floating water cleaning vessel.

The cleaning line disclosed above takes a long time and has a problem in that the coupling structure of the collecting port and the collecting network is complicated and takes a long time to attach and detach.

Republic of Korea Patent No. 0480960 discloses a multi-functional marine waste collection ship equipped with a floating waste collection device.

The above-mentioned collection ship is a collection device coupled to a crane mounted on a ship, and thus collects the floating wastes one by one, and thus is limited to the collection range collection device. There is a problem that it is practically difficult to collect.

In addition, since the floating waste can be collected only by a collection ship equipped with a crane, there is a problem in that a ship other than the dedicated ship cannot be used.

The present invention has been made to improve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a surface floating waste collection apparatus that effectively collects the floating waste of the water phase distributed over a wide range under the influence of algae or wind in a short time. have.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a floating floating waste collection apparatus that can be operated by a single vessel regardless of the type or size of the vessel.

Floating waste collection apparatus of the water surface of the present invention for achieving the above object has an opening through which the floating waste floating on the water surface and the net is collected floating waste; A float installed on both nets of the opening; And a collecting means connected to the floating rope and connected to the towing rope mounted on the vessel by guiding and collecting the floating waste in the direction of the opening of the mesh.

And a development plate that opens the collecting means at a predetermined interval on the water surface between the towing rope and the collecting means.

 The floating body has a first main body in which air is injected to store a predetermined amount of air, a band ring formed on an upper portion of the first main body, and a first formed on an outer surface of the first main body to fix the mesh. A second fixing bar formed on an outer surface of the first body facing the first fixing bar and connected to the collecting means, and a first weight member formed at a lower portion of the first body and locked below the water surface; It is equipped with the 1st skirt part which has.

The collecting means has a second main body which is injected into the air to store a predetermined amount of air, a first connection bar installed on one side of the second main body and connected to the development plate, and is installed at the other end of the second main body And a second skirt portion connected to the floating body, and a second skirt portion formed under the second body and having a second weight member to be locked below the surface of the water.

 According to the floating waste collection apparatus on the surface of the present invention, the floating waste of the water phase distributed over a wide range under the influence of algae or wind by the deployment device that spreads the collecting means widely on the surface where the waste exists when the towing of the ship is effective Unlike existing systems that limited the management of only a few bodies of water, it has the advantage of managing a large body of water in a short time.

In addition, it can be operated as a single small vessel regardless of the type of vessels, which has been removed from the conventional method of collecting floating wastes only by a dedicated vessel. Efficient collection can greatly reduce contamination by suspended waste.

The floating waste collection apparatus on the water surface according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the floating waste collection device of the surface according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the vessel to collect the floating waste, Figure 2 is a development plate and collection applied to the floating waste collection device of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows a means, FIG. 3 is a perspective view which shows the floating body and the net which are applied to the floating waste collection apparatus of FIG.

1 to 3, the floating waste collection apparatus 10 of the present invention is connected to the development plate 20 and the deployment plate 20 is connected to the towing rope 7 installed in the vessel (5) Collecting means 30 for collecting the floating waste (3), the floating body 50 is connected to the collecting means 30, and the floating net (50) connected to the floating body (50) is collected Equipped.

The vessel 5 is for towing the floating waste collection apparatus 10 of the present invention, and can be towed using not only a waste collection ship but also a general ship. It can also be sufficiently towed by small vessels as well as large vessels.

The left and right pair of towing ropes 7 connected to the floating waste collection device 10 are fixed at one end or side of the ship 5 and the other end extends radially in the direction of the floating waste collection device 10 and is deployed. Respectively connected with 20.

The deployment plate 20 is provided with a pair of left and right spaced apart at a certain distance when the center portion has a shield shape with a convex rectangle. The development plate 20 is submerged in water while leaving only a part of the upper portion of the ship 5 in progress. The upper part of the development plate 20 is a PVC rich 21 is installed on the top of the development plate 20 to rise above the water surface.

The collecting means 30 connected to the left and right pairs of the developing plates 20 is opened at a wide interval on the water surface by the developing plate 20 when the vessel 5 proceeds. The left and right pair of collecting means 30 are separated from each other so as to have a constant deployment angle so that the floating waste 5 is collected in the space on the water surface where the pair of collecting means 30 face each other. By the floating waste collection device 10 having such a spreading plate 20, the floating waste 3 distributed on a wide surface can be collected in a short time.

The extinguishing range of the collecting means 30 for collecting the floating waste 3 distributed by the developing plate 20 and distributed over a wide surface of the water is determined by the developing force of the developing plate 20.

The development force of the deployment plate 20 is determined according to the structure, the size, the moving angle, and the like of the deployment plate 20. Since the size of the deployment plate 20 is the biggest factor, the deployment plate ( 20) It is important to have a structure with a small size and a high development force.

Therefore, it is preferable that the horizontal length of the development plate 20 is 80 to 120 cm and the vertical length is 60 to 100 cm so that the general small ship can also use the floating waste collection device 10 of the present invention.

If the size is smaller than 80 × 60 cm, the development force is weak, and the deployment angle of the collecting means 30 is not sufficient, and if the development angle is 120 × 100 cm or more, the frictional resistance of the surface becomes large and the deployment angle is too large, making it difficult to work as an example of the ship 5.

The collecting means 30 connected by the developing plate 20 and the rope 27 serves to guide the floating waste 3 to collect in the direction of the net 70.

The second body 31 of the collecting means 30 has a space in which a predetermined amount of air can be stored, and an air inlet 33 for injecting air therein is formed outside.

The second body 31 is formed of a straight rubber tube is easy to move because it can be folded into a small volume by removing the air inside. Of course, the inside of the hard synthetic resin can be filled with air, foamed synthetic resin, or a high density styro product. In addition, the inside of the metal pipe can be used to fill the expandable synthetic resin or buoyancy material. In addition, the second body 31 may prevent damage caused by the floating waste 3 and use various materials that may float on the surface of the water.

The first connecting bar 35 and the second connecting bar 37 are installed on both left and right sides of the second body 31, respectively. The first connecting bar 35 is connected by the deployment plate 20 and the rope 27, and the second connecting bar 37 is connected by the floating body 50 and the rope 39.

A second skirt portion 43 having a second weight member is formed below the second body 31. The second skirt portion 43 is submerged in water by having a second weight member having a predetermined weight. The second weight member has a constant weight so that the skirt portion 43 can be submerged in water.

The second weight member is formed of a chain 45 connecting the first connecting bar 35 and the second connecting bar 37 as shown. Of course, in addition to a certain weight, such as weights and beads having a constant weight can be installed in the skirt portion 43 can be used.

Therefore, since the second main body 31 of the collecting means 30 floats on the surface of the water and the second skirt portion 43 is submerged in water, the floating waste 3 submerged in the water can be collected.

The collecting means 30 is preferably 50 to 70 cm in height exposed above the surface of the water and the depth to be submerged in the surface of 20 cm. This is because the height of the floating waste (3) floating on the water surface is mainly 1m or less.

The length of the second body 31 is used in an appropriate size in consideration of the size of the ship and the ease of operation. Preferably, the second body 31 having a length of 3 to 5 m is used so that it can also be used as a small ship.

Floating body 50 is connected to the collecting means 30 to support the net (70).

The floating body 50 has a first body 51 in which air is injected to store a predetermined amount of air. An air inlet 53 is formed on the outer surface of the first body 51 to inject air therein, and a band ring 55 is formed on the upper portion of the first body 51 to couple the mesh 70. . The band ring 55 may serve as a ring fixed by a crane when the first body 51 moves.

The first fixing bar 55 is formed on the outer surface of the first body 51 from the upper side to the lower direction. The first fixing bar 55 is connected to the collecting means 30. In addition, a second fixing bar 57 is formed on the outer surface of the first body 51 facing the first fixing bar 55 from the upper side to the lower side. The net 70 is fixed to the second fixing bar 57.

A first skirt portion 60 having a first weight member is formed below the first body 51. The first skirt portion 60 is submerged in the water by the first weight member. The first weight member is formed of a chain 63 connecting the first fixing bar 55 and the second fixing bar 57. Of course, in addition to a certain weight, such as weights and beads having a constant weight can be installed in the first skirt portion 60 can be used.

The floating body 50 maintains the opening 73 of the mesh 70 at a constant height on the surface of the floating waste 3 collected by the collecting means 30 to open the opening 73 of the mesh 70. To be easily introduced into the

The net 70 in which the floating waste 3 is finally collected is formed in a bag shape and has an opening 73 into which the floating waste 3 floating on the water surface flows. Here, as an example, although the shape of the net 70 is shown in the shape of a square, it can be formed in a circular or other various shapes, of course.

The lower net 70 of the opening 73 allows the waste 3 which is locked to a certain depth in the surface of the water to be collected under the water. Therefore, a weight or the like having a predetermined weight may be installed in the lower net 70 of the opening 73.

The netting 70 can be handled or reused with the waste 3 without disrupting the towing 5 of the collected waste 3 to the ship 5 or onshore.

In addition to the net 70, if the waste (3) has a bag shape that can be collected in the structure that the water can be drained, of course, in addition to the net 70, a variety of collecting devices can be used.

The net 70 is a triangular wing net 75 is formed so that the upper surface and both sides protrude in the direction of the vessel 5 than the lower surface. The size of the netting 70 is formed in a suitable size in consideration of the ease of operation in the ship and the crane that can lift the netting 70 in which waste is collected in a general ship.

And unlike shown in the floating waste collection apparatus of the present invention, when the floating waste (3) is concentrated in a very shallow or narrow range of the depth of the collection means 30 and the floating body (50) without using the deployment plate 20 And, it is possible to collect the floating waste (3) using the net 70, of course.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments thereof are possible.
