Description

Refers to shipbuilding technology. Floating garbage bins are known for collecting solid and liquid contaminants, for example, according to RF patent 2014384, H 02 B 15/04, comprising a solid waste bin on a cart in which the garbage is loaded into a perforated bathtub into which the solid garbage collides with a scraper.

The garbage collector according to the patent of the Russian Federation 2044827, E 02 B 15/04 is known, having soft booms with a pull-up device fixed to the ends of the boom, a basket for solid garbage removed from the water with the help of an arrow, as well as a number of other domestic and foreign devices for this purpose.

Closest to the claimed, taken as a prototype, the device according to the patent of the Russian Federation 2071528, E 02 B 15/04 was selected. This device has a floating housing for collecting solid liquid contaminants, equipped with lateral walls extended forward along the housing, a height-adjustable spillway mounted at the inlet of the waste collection tank, pumps for pumping water and oil, a fence net that deflects solid debris to its edge, from where he is scooped out with a basket.

The disadvantage of this device is that it is not very suitable for collecting solid floating debris: it is laborious to scoop out a basket, there is nowhere to put floating debris on the hull of a floating vessel.

The task is to improve the performance of the garbage collector, reduce the complexity of collecting solid floating debris, both small and large, for example, large chips, to ensure the possibility of accumulation of large amounts of solid garbage on the garbage collector.

The possibility of solving the problem is ensured by the fact that the floating garbage collector, including the floating casing, equipped with lateral walls located forward along the casing, a height-adjustable spillway mounted at the inlet of the waste collection tank, pumps for pumping water and oil, a cabin, while the garbage collector has an inclined escalator located above a movable curtain with a spillway crest and equipped with additional gear motors for moving the end of the escalator in a vertical plane, mounted on ABIN crane for unloading solid waste from waste collection tank rails booms provided with bilateral crests:

- while the guide booms are fastened with a floating hinge hinge on vertical pivots with the possibility of removal from the pivots;

- while the guide boom barriers are made of articulated rigid pipes with the possibility of their fastening along the sides of the garbage collector.

On Fig - view of the garbage collector, collecting a stream of accidentally spilled oil in a narrow channel or channel.

The floating garbage collector has a housing 1 equipped with lateral walls 2 extended forward along the housing, a height-adjustable spillway 3 installed at the inlet of the garbage collection tank 4, a pump 5 for pumping water, a pump 6 for pumping oil, a cabin 7, two tanks 8 for ballast water, placed on the sides in front of the hull 1, two tanks 9 for the oil to be collected, each pair of tanks connected to each other by a spaced apart pair of pipes 10, 11 and 12, 13, allowing alignment of surface levels of water and oil in the tanks 8, 9, a shutter 14 with a spillway ridge 3, mounted on the horizontal axis 15 with the possibility of its rotation around the axis by means of a gear-link mechanism associated with it, a float oil collector 16 floating in a mesh fence 17 on the liquid surface of the garbage collection tank 4, the float oil collector 16 connected by a flexible drain hose 18 to one of the tanks 9 for oil and has a rope 19 for lifting the oil collector 16 above the surface of the liquid in the waste tank using a gear motor 20. One of the tanks 8 for ballas water is equipped with a valve 21, made in the form of a disk with beveled edges, mounted on the pipe 22, connecting the tank with atmospheric air and having a steering wheel 23, mounted on the upper end of the pipe 22. The spillway 3 and other edges of the curtain 14 are lined with elastic material 24, for example rubber. The gear-lever mechanism is made with a gear rack 25 interacting with the shutter 14 and the gear 26 fastened to the drive handle 27, provided with a retractable pin 28 for fixing the height position of the spillway 3 on the shutter 14, which is connected through the axis 15, the crank 29 and the shaft 30 with gear rack 25.

The garbage collector has an inclined escalator 31 located above the movable shutter 14 with a spillway 3 and equipped with additional gear motors 36 for moving the end of the escalator 31 in a vertical plane, a crane 32 mounted on the cabin 7 for unloading solid waste from the garbage collection tank 4, guiding booms 33 fastened with a floating body articulated on vertical pivots 35 with the possibility of their removal from the pivots. At the same time, the guiding booms are made of articulated rigid pipes with the possibility of their fastening along the garbage collector.

The gear motor 37 moves the escalator blade, made, for example, from interlocked L-shaped plates or from a multilayer rubberized cord tape with protruding grips 38 to capture solid debris. The crane 32 is equipped with, for example, a perforated single-jaw grab 38 or a multi-jaw grab, the ropes of which are moved by gear motors 39, 40. The valve 21, like all ends of the suction pipes 41, 42, 43, is covered with dust bins 44. In addition to the main engine 45, the garbage collector has an auxiliary motor generator 46 for supplying electric light to the headlights / not shown / gear motors 36, 37, 20, 39, 40 and other auxiliary devices. The garbage collector has a deck 47 with a protective guard 48, flexible detachable couplings 49, which can, if necessary, close the joints of the bon.

Garbage collector works as follows. Having approached the places of garbage accumulation or the places of emergency oil spill, the operator acts accordingly: if you need to pick up solid debris, such as large chips, the operator lowers the escalator and collects chips in the garbage container 4, while the movable curtain 14 with the spillway 3 is closed, which does not allow water to penetrate through the ridge and the edges of the curtain, protected by rubber, while the pump 5 sucks out excess water from the waste collection tank 4, and solid debris floats on the surface of the tank. When it is necessary to collect oil with floating small solid debris, the escalator is lifted and oil with garbage is collected through comb 3, placing shield 14 with handle 27 in the corresponding position, depending on the thickness of the oil layer clogged with small debris. Moreover, when particles of relatively large debris accumulate in front of the spillway ridge 3, it is discharged into the reservoir 4 by a short-term rotation of the shield 14.

In case of an emergency oil spill, the garbage collector is placed in the narrowest place of the moving stream (Fig. 8/), it is fixed, for example, with chains / not shown / and, having fixed the booms in an appropriate way, the floating oil is drained into the tank 4, continuously sucking water from the bottom of the tank 4 and the excess collected oil is poured into the accompanying vessel. If the standard booms 33 turn out to be short, then they are lengthened by additional ones, while the joints of the booms are covered with detachable elastic couplings 49. The mousse picker is unloaded from solid debris at the equipped mooring wall, grabbing large chips, for example, with a multi-jaw grab.

The positive effect of the device is as follows:

- the garbage collector allows you to collect solid and liquid contaminants with less time and physical labor; allows you to collect garbage by hitting the hull, as well as to collect a stream of accidentally spilled oil in a non-Shire channel, duct or floating near one bank of a wide river;

- an inclined escalator allows you to collect relatively bulky waste: floating wooden containers, large chips, floating hemp with rhizomes;

- unloading of solid debris can be carried out directly in the car body;

- in small cities, the garbage collector can find side uses: for transporting various goods by water; as a slow-moving pleasure boat, when they cover it with a tarpaulin on a washed tank 4, and put seats for holiday walks of the population on the side of the deck;

- the crests on the booms move both oil and large debris.
