Description

{APPARATUS FOR COLLETING MARINE WASTE}

The present invention relates to a marine garbage collecting apparatus, and more particularly, to a marine garbage collecting apparatus for collecting garbage floating in the ocean.

The ocean, which is believed to be a report of future social resources, is currently suffering from massive disasters due to marine litter. Plastics account for the largest portion of these marine litter. Currently, 268,940 tons of plastic waste is floating near sea level, according to Peruvir Science (2015), which is a massive mass of 1,400 whales.

Simulation also predicts that marine litter inflows will double in 10 years. Recognizing the importance of marine resources and the severity of marine litter, developed countries collect and process marine litter at great expense.

However, in developed countries with low national or economic power, they are leaving their hands because of the cost of marine litter. If this situation persists, the vicious circle of the developed and undeveloped countries will be repeated in the response to the future society.

Plastics, a marine litter floating in the ocean, takes more than 500 years to decompose, so it is foolish to wait for natural decomposition. So many countries that are interested in developed countries or the environment are making various efforts to solve this problem. However, this effort is accompanied by considerable technology and cost, and other countries have been able to afford the technology and the cost, but in Africa and Southeast Asia, poor countries are urged to solve problems to live on.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device that can raise the self-sustenance of the underdeveloped countries and provide a foundation for the utilization of future marine resources by easily collecting marine litter that must be collected.

A duplicate description will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a marine garbage collecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing that an opening / closing door is opened according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a main body connection unit of a marine garbage collection device according to FIG.

According to the present invention, the marine garbage collection device according to the present invention includes a main body 10 for collecting marine garbage in a state of being separated from the sea and having a collection space 12 formed therein; And a main body 10 which is rotatably installed on a side surface of the main body 10 and rotates by a wave force to open one side of the main body 10 which is opened, And an opening / closing door (20) for closing one side surface.

The main body 10 is formed in a hollow collection space 12 so as to be able to move by the waves in a state of being seated in the sea. The main body 10 can be manufactured in the shape of a cylinder (drum) which can stably float in the sea. Although the main body 10 is illustrated as having a cylindrical shape in the figure, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be formed into various shapes such as a spherical shape and a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

A pair of opening and closing doors 20 are rotatably mounted on side surfaces of the main body 10. The opening and closing door 20 may be formed as a curved surface corresponding to the side surface shape of the main body 10, or may be formed in a plane. In the present embodiment, the opening and closing door 20 serves as an entrance through which various kinds of waste floating in the sea are collected.

To this end, the rotation shaft 22 of the opening and closing door 20 is provided with an elastic member 24. The elastic member 24 provides an elastic force against the rotation of the opening and closing door 20. In this embodiment, the opening and closing door 20 provides an elastic force in a direction to close one opened side of the main body 10. [ That is, when the opening / closing door 20 floats in the sea and hits a strong wave, it is opened by the wave force as shown in FIG. 2 and water and marine debris can be introduced together through one side of the opened main body 10. After the marine trash is introduced in this manner, the opening / closing door 20 closes one side of the main body 10 again by the elastic force of the elastic member 24 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, since the marine garbage is collected in the collection space 12 of the main body 10, the marine garbage is not discharged to the outside, and the marine garbage can be collected stably.

A plurality of opening and closing doors 20 may be provided depending on the shape of the main body 10. In this embodiment, a pair of the opening and closing doors 20 is provided on the side of the main body 10 so as to face each other. When the main body 10 moves toward the sea when the pair of opening and closing doors 20 are installed, the marine trash can be introduced through the opening and closing door 20 installed on the front surface. On the other hand, The marine garbage can be introduced through the opening / closing door 20 installed on the rear surface, so that the marine garbage can be effectively collected regardless of the direction.

Referring to FIG. 3, a mesh net 26 for discharging water introduced together with the marine debris into the collection space 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the main body 10. [ The mesh net 26 can be manufactured to a size sufficient to discharge only water, and the marine waste remains in the collection space 12 without being discharged to the mesh net 26.

1 and 2, the main body 10 is provided with an anchor 30 for preventing the main body 10 from being lost by the waves, and a collection rope (not shown) for recovering the main body 10 to the land 40 are connected. The anchor 30 and the collection rope 40 may be connected to the side of the main body 10. [

3, the marine garbage collector includes a main body connecting unit 50 (one of the main body 10 and the other main body 10), one end of which is coupled to the side of the main body 10, ). &Lt; / RTI >

The main body connecting unit (50) includes a pair of fastening members (52) fastened to side surfaces of the body (10) adjacent to each other; And a connecting rope 54 connecting between the fastening members 52. That is, when the two bodies 10 are adjacent to each other, the pair of fastening members 52 are fastened to the flat side surface of the main body 10 by screwing or the like, and are connected by the connecting rope 54 between them .

In this case, since two or more bodies 10 can be connected along the longitudinal direction, it is possible to collect a large amount of marine debris more effectively while moving toward the sea side or the land side. Of course, the main body connecting unit 50 described above is merely an example, and any structure can be employed as long as the main body 10 can be connected to each other.

A buoyant body 60 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 10 so that the main body 10 can float well. The buoyant body 60 may be installed on both sides of the lower surface of the main body 10 and may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 as shown in FIG. It may be installed long. When the buoyant body 60 is installed as described above, the body 10 can be stably loaded in the collection space 12 without being tilted by the wave force.
