RU2612445C1 - Self-propelled functionally-independent unit for cleaning waters from blue-green algae - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machinery industry. The self-propelled unit for cleaning waters from blue-green algae comprises pontoon, screw and solar batteries mounted on the pontoon body. On the pontoon a drum is rotatably mounted, having buckets- scoops that remove algae from water and act as paddles of the paddle wheel to move the pontoon. Inside the drum there is a screw to feed the algae in a container for collection and storage.

EFFECT: self-propelled functionally-independent unit for cleaning waters, which uses energy of solar batteries to drive the assemblies and mechanisms that provide movement of the pontoon and the operation of the unit in stand-alone mode.

Description

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

Known devices for cleaning water bodies from algae are designed to work in conjunction with watercraft. Such devices are complex in design, dimensional, with an energy-intensive technological process. In addition, the device is equipped with high labor costs required for technical and technological maintenance.

Also known are devices for cleaning water bodies from algae with their further use. Moreover, the centrifugation used for drying algae does not provide the necessary level of drying of algae for storage and use for human needs.

In the aggregate of common essential features, the technical solution according to patent RU No. 2551172 was taken as a prototype.

The disadvantages of the known devices.

1. The operation of devices for cleaning water bodies from algae in composition with watercraft leads to an increase in the energy intensity of the technological process and an increase in labor costs for technical and technological maintenance.

2. Known devices do not use the energy of solar cells to drive units and mechanisms of the unit.

The objective of the invention is to improve the design of the unit by improving the quality of the technological process for cleaning ponds from blue-green algae with the ability to ensure self-movement and work offline.

The task is carried out by a drum, along the circumference of which scoops are mounted for rotation, and scoops, in addition to trapping algae, also act as flanges of the ridge wheel, ensuring self-propulsion of the craft. And inside the drum there is a screw for feeding algae into a container for collecting and storing algae. At the same time, solar panels are installed on the pontoon body, the energy of which is provided for driving units and mechanisms of the unit, including for drying algae.

The technical result - the quality of the technological process for cleaning water from blue-green algae improves, the unit operates in standalone mode, self-propulsion of the craft is provided.

The technical result is achieved due to the design features of the drum, in which the bucket-scoops in the process of work, rotating, extract algae from the depths of their habitat at the same time act as the blades of the ridge wheel, providing movement of the craft. The unit is equipped with solar panels. Their energy and heat is used to drive the units and mechanisms of the unit and to perform the process of drying algae. The unit operates in standalone mode, which allows you to use it with savings in energy and labor.

The noted positive aspects of the claimed object will allow to obtain an economic effect and wide practical distribution.

The drawing schematically shows a self-propelled, autonomously operating unit for cleaning water bodies from algae.

The unit contains a pontoon 1, on which a drum 2 is mounted, on the outer surface of which scoops 3 are mounted for rotation, and inside the drum there is a screw 4, from the end of which an annular elevator 5 is fixed, which feeds algae to the conveyor 6 of the drying equipment. The drive units and mechanisms of the unit is provided by solar energy 7.

The unit operates as follows.

Buckets - scoops 3, rotating, bring the unit into translational motion. In this case, the ladles-scoops extract algae from their habitats, from the depth of their occurrence and dump the algae into the screw 4, which moves them and feeds to the annular elevator 5. Algae are fed by the annular elevator to the conveyor 6 of the dryer. In this case, the heat of the solar panels 7 provides drying of the algae to the required state in order to ensure their long-term storage and use for human needs.
