Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machine building, particularly to a device for cleaning water basins from algae. Unit for cleaning water basins from algae comprises a watercraft, a device for water intake with algae, a conveyor and a container for collection of algae. On each side of the watercraft there is a closed-loop conveyor, on which scoop baskets with mesh surface along their perimeter are hinged. Hinge joint is arranged within the range of 1/3 of the basket base length, and its front part is of smaller size and serves as a thrust at the baskets transition from translation into rotation in the end part of the conveyor. Herewith the screw feeding algae from the two conveyors into a single container is made with double-sided winding of spiral turns.

EFFECT: technical result is higher quality of cleaning at higher reliability.

Description

The invention relates to agricultural machinery, in particular to the creation of devices for cleaning water bodies from algae.

Known devices whose design is based on the use of biological characteristics of algae - to precipitate when they are cooled.

The devices are structurally complex, their process is multi-operational, labor-intensive. There are disruptions in the working process when water is drawn from the lower layers of the reservoir. If the water does not meet the required temperature, the technological process proceeds with violations of agrotechnical requirements / 1 /.

Also known are devices that are simple in nature of the execution of the process. But their design is not designed to perform the technological process of cleaning water bodies from algae with the required quality [2, 3].

Based on the set of common essential features, the technological solution [4] is taken as a prototype.

The disadvantages of the known devices.

1. The complexity of the technological process of cleaning water from algae due to the multi-operation of its composition.

2. Non-compliance of the technological process of some devices with agrotechnical requirements.

The objective of the invention is to improve the quality of the process and increase its reliability.

The task is performed by a conveyor with an infinitely closed loop circuit, on which scoop buckets are pivotally mounted with a mesh surface around the perimeter, the hinge being located on the base of the bucket within 1/3 of its length, and its front part is smaller in size, serves as an emphasis when the transition of buckets from translational to rotational in the end of the conveyor.

The inertial forces arising at this moment contribute to the full release of the buckets from the algae and their entry into the receiving part of the screw, made with two-sided winding of the spiral coils, which ensures the supply of algae from two conveyors into one common container for collecting algae.

The technical result - the quality of the process is improved, and its reliability is increased.

The technical result is achieved due to the use of scoop buckets with a mesh surface in the conveyor structure and due to the articulation of the buckets with the conveyor chain at a distance of 1/3 of the length of the base of the buckets. Moreover, the front part is smaller in size, serves as an emphasis in the transition from translational motion of ladles to rotational motion and excludes the possibility of overturning them.

Conveyor design features make it possible to ensure capture of a mixture of water with algae during operation, and when the conveyor is deepened to the bottom surface of the reservoir, it can capture the remaining algae that serve as their active source of reproduction when creating favorable conditions (as a rule, in the summer period of the next year). In the process of moving, release the algae from the water through the mesh surface of the buckets and dump the algae into the receiving part of the screw. This makes it possible to simplify the process of cleaning water bodies from algae and increase the reliability of its implementation.

The noted positive aspects of the proposed facility will allow to obtain an economic effect and find wide practical application.

The drawing schematically shows a unit for cleaning ponds from algae.

The unit contains a watercraft 1, devices 2 for collecting algae with water, a conveyor 3 is installed on each side of the watercraft, with scoop buckets 4, with a mesh surface 5. the buckets are connected to the circuit by a hinge 6, the algae enter the screw 7 with two-sided winding turns of the spiral, and then into the container 8 for collecting algae.

The unit operates as follows

When the vehicle 1 moves, the water flow with the algae by the device 2 is directed towards the conveyor 3, while the mixture of water with the algae is captured by the scoops 4 and moved towards the screw 7. At the same time, the algae are freed from the water. Water through the mesh surface 5 goes beyond the ladles, and the algae remain. During the transition of the buckets into rotational motion at the end of the conveyor, the algae 4 are discharged into the receiving part of the screw 7, which moves the algae from the two conveyors into one common container 8.
