Description

Jellyfish crusher {APPARATUS FOR PULVERIZING JELLYFISH}

The present invention relates to a jellyfish crushing device, and more particularly, to a jellyfish crushing device that crushes incoming jellyfish and discharges them through an outlet.

Due to global warming and environmental pollution, jellyfish that live in the deep sea appear in the waters of the Korean Peninsula and disturb the marine ecosystem.

Due to jellyfish, catches in the waters off the Korean peninsula are decreasing, and when fishing using nets, large jellyfish such as Nomuras jellyfish are caught and the nets are damaged due to their weight.

In particular, the small swimming pool jellyfish (Physalia physalis), often called a cone jellyfish, is a subtropical jellyfish, and although the length is about 10 cm, it contains poisonous poison in its tentacles. When the toxin is absorbed into the body, severe pain may occur, necrosis of the body part in contact with the tentacles, and death in severe cases. Accidents in which tourists are injured are common.

At this time, the jellyfish caught in the net go through drying, dehydration, incineration and chemical decomposition on the ground, which may cause a problem that odors or chemicals may be emitted during these processes.

The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art, and the present invention has the purpose of physically crushing jellyfish introduced through an inlet through a rotating unit, and discharging the crushed jellyfish through the rotating unit through an outlet. .

Another object of the present invention is to generate a control signal through an external controller so that the user remotely controls the jellyfish crushing device from the outside, such as on a ship.

The problems of the present invention are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

The jellyfish crushing device of the present invention for achieving the above object includes: a main body having an inlet through which water is introduced, and an outlet extending through the inlet to discharge the water introduced through the inlet; a rotating part disposed so as to be rotatable at the inlet, moving the main body in a direction opposite to the direction in which water is introduced, crushing the jellyfish introduced through the inlet and discharging it to the outlet; and a steering unit provided on the main body to maintain a horizontal direction of the main body and to change a moving direction.

Here, the body part may include a buoyancy control member capable of adjusting buoyancy, which is formed in any one of marine organisms.

In addition, the main body may be hinged with an opening/closing member for removing the sediment passing through the rotating part by opening a space between the inlet and the outlet.

In addition, the rotating part, a plurality of rotating blades are provided to rotate inside the inlet, and an auxiliary blade for cutting a part of the jellyfish may be formed to protrude from one surface of the rotating blade.

Meanwhile, the steering unit may provide a horizontal adjustment member for sensing the inclination of the main body and adjusting the horizontality on one side of the main body, and a direction changing member for changing the moving direction of the main body at the other side of the main body.

It is a view showing a state in which an auxiliary blade is provided on the rotary blade of the jellyfish crushing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an external controller and a control signal generated from the external controller of the jellyfish crushing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a block diagram showing a control unit that is transmitted and controlled through a system.

The configuration of the jellyfish crushing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may largely include a body part 100 , a rotating part 200 , and a steering part 300 .

The main body 100 may have an inlet 120 through which water is introduced, and an outlet 140 for discharging the water introduced through the inlet 120 may be formed to extend to the inlet 120 .

In other words, the body part 100 may have an elliptical case and a through hole penetrating one side and the other side of the case.

In addition, the rotating unit 200 may move the body unit 120 in the opposite direction based on the direction in which the water flowing into the inlet 120 flows.

In addition, the rotating unit 200 may pulverize the jellyfish J introduced into the inlet 120 through rotation for generating thrust and discharge it to the outlet 140 .

In addition, the steering unit 300 may maintain the horizontality of the body unit 300 moving by the rotating unit 200 and change the moving direction.

Looking in detail through FIG. 2 , the main body 100 may be formed in any one of marine life forms.

Specifically, it may be in the form of one of the fish having a streamlined shape, and may be manufactured in the form of a cartilaginous fish such as a shark. In the embodiment to be described below, the body part 100 has a shape of a shark, but is not limited thereto and may also be designed in the shape of a crustacean such as crayfish.

For example, when designed in the form of a crustacean, an inflow sorting member (not shown) is provided on the left and right sides of the main body 100 for remote control by a user to cut and remove obstacles in the moving direction and flow into the inlet 120 . It is also possible to block the first fish. Here, an inflow sorting member (not shown) may be provided in the body part 100 designed in the shape of a shark.

In addition, the main body 100 may include a buoyancy control member 160 capable of adjusting the buoyancy.

Specifically, the buoyancy control member 160 may be formed in the lower portion of the through hole formed in the body portion 100 through the inlet 120 and the outlet 140 connected to the inlet 120 .

For example, the buoyancy control member 160 may be formed in the body part 100 in the form of a water tank that stores water to sink the body part 100 , and an auxiliary propeller is provided in the lower part of the body part 100 . Thus, it can be designed so that the body part 100 is lowered by the forward rotation and the body part 100 is raised by the reverse rotation.

In addition, referring to FIG. 3 to learn more about the body part 100, the body part 100 further includes an opening/closing member 180 that is hinged so that the space between the inlet 120 and the outlet 140 is opened or It may be provided to be closed.

The reason for this is that when the jellyfish J is discharged to the outlet 140 , it is impossible for all the pulverized material to be discharged to the outside of the main body 100 at once, so the opening and closing member 180 is provided to open or close the user. Separately, there is an advantage that the user can directly clean the sediment remaining in the area including the inlet 120 and the outlet 140 .

In this case, the opening/closing member 180 may be provided with a vibration generating motor so that the sediment remaining in the region including the inlet 120 and the outlet 140 is smoothly removed.

Here, when the opening/closing member 180 closes the main body 100, a groove is formed along the outer circumferential surface of the opening/closing member 180 to be completely sealed, and an O-RING may be coupled thereto.

In addition, an upper cover 190 may be formed on the upper portion of the main body 100 so that the communication unit 500 and the control unit 600 may be disposed.

At this time, a groove is formed along the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 190 so as to be completely sealed between the upper cover 190 and the main body 100 , and an O-RING may be coupled thereto.

On the other hand, if you look at the process in which the jellyfish is pulverized in contact with the rotating part 200 and then discharged to the outlet,

The rotating unit 200 may be mounted on one side of the inlet 120 in the form of a propeller including a plurality of rotating blades as shown in FIG. 2, and generates thrust through rotation to move the body unit 120 and rotate at the same time. After grinding the jellyfish (J) in contact with the rotary blade of the pulverized jellyfish (J) can be discharged to the outlet (140).

By using the physical pulverization method as described above, there is an advantage in that chemicals or odors emitted due to chemical decomposition can be prevented.

In addition, the pulverized product pulverized through a physical pulverization method can be used as food that can be eaten by fry as well as adult fish.

4 and 5 in detail with respect to the specific shape and coupling structure of the rotating unit 200 , the rotating unit 200 may include a rotating blade 220 , a frame 240 , and an elastic member 260 .

First, the plurality of blade-shaped rotary blades 220 may be formed in a streamlined shape to generate thrust by rotating, and may be provided to rotate inside the inlet 120 .

At this time, the frame 240 may be fixedly formed on one side of the inlet 120 so that the rotary blade 220 stably turns inside the inlet 120 . In this case, specifically, the main body 100 is the inner circumferential surface of the inlet 120 . The frame 240 may be fixed by forming a partial surface having a step difference from the inner circumferential surface.

In addition, a plurality of rotating blades 220 may be connected to one surface of the frame 240 so as to be rotatable by the motor M1.

At this time, an elastic member 260 is formed between the rotating blade 220 and the frame 240 to absorb the shock generated by the jellyfish J collide with the rotating rotating blade 220 to enhance the durability of the rotating unit 220 . can be

In addition, an auxiliary blade 222 is protruded from one surface of the rotary blade 220 to cut a portion of the jellyfish J.

The reason for this is to prevent damage to the rotary blade 220 by first cutting a part of the jellyfish J through the auxiliary blade 222 and then cutting back a part of the jellyfish J through the rotary blade 220 There are advantages to being able to

In addition, since the particles of the pulverized material become smaller than when the jellyfish J is pulverized using only the rotary blade 220 , the abrasion of the rotary blade 220 can be reduced, and the pulverized material is caught between the rotary blades 220 . to prevent malfunction of the rotary blade 220 .

In addition, there is an advantage that the pulverized material can be smoothly discharged to the outlet 140 by reducing the particles of the pulverized material.

Here, the communication unit 500 receives a control signal according to a control command from the user, and the motor M1 is driven by receiving the received control signal from the control unit 600 . The communication unit 500 and the control unit 700 as described above will be described later, and the steering unit 300 for maintaining the horizontality of the body unit 300 moving by the rotating unit 200 and changing the moving direction. 2 and 4 , the steering unit 300 may include a horizontal adjusting member 320 and a direction changing member 340 .

Here, the horizontal adjustment member 320 serves as a chest or ventral fin of the fish, is formed on one side of the body part 100 , detects a tilt, and can adjust the horizontality of the body part 100 .

For example, the horizontal adjustment member 320 detects the horizontal state of the main body 100 through the gyro sensor and notifies the user through the communication unit 500 .

The communication unit 500 again transmits a control signal according to the user's control command to the control unit 600 , and the control unit 600 drives the motor M2 according to the transmitted control signal to control the horizontal adjustment member 320 . and keep it level. At this time, one side of the motor M2 may be connected to the horizontal adjustment member 320 to be rotatable, and the other side may be coupled to the fixture H2.

Also, the fixture H2 may be fixed to the left and right sides of the main body 100 so that the motor M2 may be electrically connected to the controller 600 .

Similarly, the direction changing member 340 is provided on the other side of the main body part 340 provided on one side of the horizontal adjustment member 320 to change the moving direction of the main body part 100 .

Specifically, the direction changing member 340 performs the same role as the tail fin of the fish, and may steer the main body 100 in the left and right directions.

For example, the communication unit 500 receives a control signal according to a user's control command, and the communication unit 500 transmits the received control signal to the control unit 600 .

Here, the control unit 600 may drive the motor M3 according to the control signal to control the direction change unit 340 and steer the moving body unit 100 in the left and right directions.

At this time, one side of the motor M3 is connected so that the direction changing member 340 can rotate from side to side, and the other side may be coupled to the fixture H3.

Specifically, the fixture H3 may be fixed to the rear side of the main body 100 so that the motor M3 can be electrically connected to the controller 600 .

The jellyfish crushing device 10 having the configuration as described above may further include an image capturing unit 400 .

Referring to FIG. 2 described above, the image capturing unit 400 may be mounted on the main body 100 in order to capture an image along the movement path of the main body 100 and obtain image information.

Specifically, the image capturing unit 400 may allow the user to control the jellyfish crushing device 10 from the outside, such as on a ship.

That is, the image capturing unit 400 acts as the user's eyes so that the user can check the area with a lot of jellyfish (J) from the outside, such as on a ship, and move the body part 100 to crush the jellyfish (J). And it is possible to prevent other marine organisms other than the jellyfish (J) from being introduced into the body part 100 and being crushed.

Also, the image capturing unit 400 may further include a lighting member (not shown) for providing illumination in a direction in which an image is captured.

Specifically, by placing a lighting member (not shown) in contact with the upper surface of the image capturing unit 400 to illuminate the direction in which the image is taken, an infrared output member ( not shown) may be provided.

In this case, the image capturing unit 400 may receive an infrared ray output from an infrared output member (not shown) and acquire an infrared image of the front side of the inlet 120 .

As described above, the jellyfish crushing apparatus 10 including the image capturing unit 400 may further include a communication unit 500 and a control unit 600 .

Here, the communication unit 500 transmits the image captured by the image capturing unit 400 to the user and receives a control signal generated according to the user's control command.

For example, when there is no jellyfish J in the image captured by the image capturing unit 400 , the user may issue a left turn command of the jellyfish crushing device 10 .

At this time, the control unit 600 can receive the control signal from the communication unit 500 in the same manner as described above to control the rotating unit 200 and the steering unit 300 .

Also, referring to FIG. 6 , the jellyfish crushing device 10 may further include an external controller 700 .

At this time, the external controller 700 serves to receive the image information from the user and to give a control command to the jellyfish crushing device 10 according to the user's judgment.

For example, when the image capturing unit 400 captures a front image, the captured image may be transmitted to the external controller 700 through the communication unit 500 . In this case, the user can determine the jellyfish J through the captured image and issue a control command through the joystick or button provided in the external controller 700 . The control command by the user is again transmitted to the control unit 600 through the communication unit 500 to control the jellyfish crushing apparatus 10 .

As the device can be miniaturized in this way, the number of jellyfish (J) can be maintained at a certain level by physically crushing the jellyfish (J) through rotational force even in the shallow waters of the sea level such as a beach as well as in the near sea including the fishing grounds. there is an effect that
