Abstract

In the present invention, the shape of a bird′s beak such as a pelican, which is wide and enables a pelican to get a target and can be stretched, is applied to a vessel. The marine waste disposal vessel can easily collect waste in large quantities as the front part of the vessel is formed into a pelican beak shape, and can efficiently dispose marine waste as the lower part of the vessel by forming the lower part of the beak-shaped part of the vessel to be stretched when required like the lower part of a pelican beak or into a hydraulic type to enable the volume to be adjusted by multiple stages. As GPS (1-8) and an automatic cruising system (1-9) are mounted such that the marine waste disposal vessel automatically goes to areas producing a lot of waste, collects waste, moves to a near central disposal center, and then effectively separates and disposes waste. The marine waste disposal vessel collects marine waste through an inlet formed into a pelican beak shape, and transfers and stores waste such as plastic in the waste storage (1-3) by compressing waste through a metallic roller (1-2). Additionally, an independent power generation function is added to the pelican-shaped marine waste disposal vessel by new renewable energy. Therefore, the pelican-shaped marine waste disposal vessel using new renewable energy stores solar energy in a storage battery (1-10) by installing a thin-plate type silicon solar-cell panel (1-4) with excellent efficiency which is a dark sunlight absorbing device and a solar energy collecting device (1-12) on one side (1-5) of a Peltier effect device. Also, the pelican-shaped marine waste disposal vessel using the new renewable energy autonomously provides thrust using a temperature difference by arranging the Peltier effect device (1-5) to enable a heating plate to be in contact with the underside of a solar cell, and installing a coolant intake and a discharge pipe on the other side of the solar cell to flow cold seawater.

Description

The Oceanic Waste Collecting Ship with Renewable Energy and Bio-mimic Technology,

Marine waste collection, biomimetic technology, solar cells, thermoelectric modules.

In recent years, plastics used by humans have been sent to the sea due to earthquakes and tsunamis, resulting in increased marine litter (waste). We also learned that there is a garbage island made up of garbage in the Pacific Ocean, which poses a serious threat to our marine ecosystem. While these marine litter are growing exponentially, the current treatment is very inefficient and ultimately will have a profound impact on our humans.

 The Peltier element to be applied to the haircut is called a thermoelectric module, a Peltier element, a summer module, a summer cord, a thermoelectric cooling element, a thermoelectric module, and both sides of a system in which two different metals are bonded to each other When electricity is supplied to the junction, one junction absorbs heat and the other junction releases heat. The Peltier device consists of two or more semiconductors that are electrically parallel and thermally parallel, and the heat is transferred only through the thermoelectric elements while electricity continues to alternately flow above and below the substrate through each of the N- and P- And are arranged to move in only one direction. Heat is transferred from the heat-absorbing surface to the heat-dissipating surface through the thermoelectric element and the heat transferred is proportional to the voltage supplied. If you change the polarity, you can change the function of heating and cooling by changing the polarity of the current to the same thermoelectric element.

Generally, the major sources of wastes such as sea, lake, and river are largely divided into land-based origin and marine origin. In case of land-based disposal, wastes that are inevitably generated in residential and industrial activities of human beings enter into the sea and are concentrated mainly in the inland or coastal areas, and the marine origin is caused by marine economic activity such as fisheries or ship operation.

Most of them. In the case of Korea, land wastes are concentrated into the sea, hoso and river in the summer rainy season where floods and typhoons follow due to the characteristics of weather.

 In particular, the marine waste flowing into the sea is one of the main reasons for the fishery waste generated here because coastal fisheries occupy a large portion of the structure of the fishery industry in Korea. However, these wastes are gradually flooded into the water due to the increase of their own weight due to attachment of various microorganisms and shellfishes. In the case of sea, coastal pollution caused by these wastes is becoming a social problem because it becomes a main cause of polluting the seabed and watershed area by being accumulated in the intertidal zone by tidal activity.

In this case, the physical removal process is not easy, and the labor and expenses are increased so much that the collection itself is abandoned. As a result, it develops as a continuous pollutant source. The plastic material which is not decomposed is dispersed into pieces or grains It also acts as a factor causing another environmental pollution.

Accordingly, it is a realistic alternative to prevent the harmfulness of the waste by using physical means in as short a time as possible to remove the floating waste flowing into the water phase. However, in the conventional method for collecting suspended wastes, many people and general ships collect municipal wastes by using a net as a note, or they handle floating wastes with a dedicated waste collection vessel of a marine environment management agency. There is a limit. In particular, most of the collected wastes from domestic wastes are mostly wastewater in the wastewater area, because the range of wastewater is limited to the width of 10 ~ 30 tons of conveyor, It is difficult to positively cope with floating wastes that flow intensively into rainy season or move from coastal waters to wind or algae. The general cleaning line takes a lot of time and requires a long time for detachment and attachment because of the complex structure of the collecting net and collecting net. There is disclosed a multifunctional marine waste collection line equipped with a floating waste collection device.

Since the above-mentioned collection line is limited to the collection range of the collection unit because it collects the floating waste by the collection unit attached to the crane mounted on the ship, the collection area is so small that the operation time is long, There is a problem in that it is practically difficult to collect. In addition, since floating waste can be collected only by a collection vessel equipped with a crane, there is a problem that a vessel other than a dedicated vessel can not be used.

Therefore, in the present invention, a method of effectively collecting marine wastes by utilizing biomimicry and a marine waste treatment line (named as Pelican) have been invented as a power source for collecting natural energy that can minimize environmental pollution.

In the present invention, a pelican is applied to a ship by imitating a bird's large, easily-caught and expandable beak shape. This pelican, which is applied here, is made like a beak of a pelican, so that it can be collected easily and in large quantities. If necessary, the lower part of the beak can be stretched to make the lower part of the bottom of the boat, By making the volume adjustable in multiple steps, you will be able to handle marine litter very efficiently.

The biomimicry applied to this invention is to learn the wisdom and skills necessary for human survival from nature. They have a systematic system for their survival and we have been able to develop some of them by applying some of them.

In general, ships burn energy to obtain energy, resulting in increased pollution levels, whereas Pelican applied in the present invention obtains environmentally-friendly power using a Peltier device (a thermal electric module). In fact, if a marine litter ship becomes a part of the pollution, it is a great contradiction, so we invented a more efficient renewable energy device at sea. First, a black solar absorber and solar collectors are installed on one side of the Peltier device to make it hotter. The other side of the device is the cold seawater, which produces a seebeck effect that produces electricity by temperature difference.

In general, the efficiency of conventional propeller engines is very low when the propeller is used to convert chemical energy into kinetic energy in a rotating manner. Therefore, the Pelican is a new type that can be applied to the underside of the ship by applying autonomous swimming (1-7) of the large fish model, but the tail motor is divided into the tail motor of the fish and the body motor, and the tail motor acts as a continuous motor for continuous wave motion, and the body motor is a motor Lt; / RTI > Here, the tail motor is divided into two left / right parts again, and the direction can be adjusted by braking the right and left devices at the same time as advancing. In addition, an animal's digestive tract can be applied here to design waste storage (1-3) inside the bowel to collect more waste.

GPS (1-8) and unmanned automatic navigation system (1-9) are installed to collect unmanned garbage and collect it. The marine waste is collected through a pelican beak-like inlet and is passed through a metal roller (1-2) to facilitate storage of wastes such as plastics for subsequent collection, Move and store.

The Peltier device (1-5) is arranged so that the hot plate contacts the solar cell under the solar cell, and the cold water inflow pipe is installed on the opposite side to generate a temperature difference to obtain a larger energy.

 (1 - 7, 1 - 11) of a new large fish model that can move in a wave shape at the bottom of a ship by applying the autonomous swimming method of fish, and it is divided into a tail motor of a fish and a body motor, (1-7) acts as a continuous engine that gives continuous waves and the body motor acts as an engine (1-11) that makes a large wave with a period. Here, the tail portion is divided into two left / right portions (1-7) again, so that the direction can be adjusted by braking the right and left devices at the same time as advancing. In addition, an animal's digestive tract can be applied here to design waste storage (1-3) inside the bowel to collect more waste. Also, mimicking the principle of gill, we tried to make a structure that circulates the water through the small holes in the lower beak (1-1) and transports only the trash.

It is possible to add disaster relief activities and territorial reconnaissance functions while handling the garbage. When the oil spills out of the sea, the material of the lower beak of the Lake Pelican is replaced with an oil absorbent (sprinkled with an oil absorbent on the beak), so that the human can go directly to the oil without using oil, The oil can be recycled.
