RU2626606C2 - Universal unit for cleaning water from blue-green algae with possibility of their further application - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: design of the universal unit includes a boat represented by a pontoon, on the body of which buckets with a concave fine-mesh surface are pivotally attached with an individual drive of each of them. This makes it possible to create the unit width depending on the protective zone of the protected water reservoir areas. A conveyor is installed along the buckets for feeding algae in a container for transporting algae to the place of their utilisation. The algae-feeding conveyor is made with the possibility to change its direction to the opposite. The unit also contains an annular elevator and algae dryer using solar cells. In the composition with the boat, the unit operates in the autonomous mode. The boat acts as a tug to ensure linear movement of the unit. The unit design provides for its operation in stationary conditions on rivers with the water flow, in places where algae accumulate, as a means for protecting beach places and water intakes against algae, and also with the possibility of using it in the composition with a boat on closed water bodies - on lakes. Structural features of the unit extend the range of its application, make it universal.

EFFECT: noted positive aspects of the claimed subject will allow to obtain high economic effect and wide practical application.

Description

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

A characteristic feature of the known devices for cleaning water bodies from blue-green algae is the lack of effectiveness of equipment for removing moisture from algae. Centrifugation of a mixture of water with algae does not ensure the complete removal of moisture, the temperature regime of drying algae is not observed, which affects the reduction of their shelf life.

Also known devices, the design of which provides for the collection of garbage from the surface of water bodies, the capture of algae at the same time and separately. The device is made in the form of a two-tier bucket with a mesh surface.

By the totality of the common essential features, the technical solution RU No. 2551172 C1, ЕВВ А01D 44/00 was adopted as a prototype.

Disadvantages of known devices

1. The design of devices for cleaning ponds from blue-green algae does not provide for the possibility of using the energy of solar panels.

2. Devices in construction are complex, bulky with multi-operation process.

The objective of the invention is the expansion of the range of application of the unit for cleaning ponds from blue-green algae with their subsequent use and improving the reliability of the process.

The task is carried out by the design feature of the unit, which allows it to be used in stationary conditions as protection against algae in beach places and water intakes, as well as in a composition with a watercraft for cleaning indoor water bodies from algae with the possibility of their further use in agricultural production of food products as fertilizers and feed additives in the diet of animals. The unit operates autonomously with a drive of working bodies from the energy of solar panels.

The technical result - the range of application of the unit is expanding, and the reliability of the process increases.

The technical result is achieved due to the design features of the unit, which allows it to be used in stationary conditions on rivers with a water stream and as a part of a ship on a lake, and an individual bucket drive makes it possible to create a unit with a width within the protective zone of beach places, water intakes and moorings. In a composition with a craft, the working width is determined by the type of craft and its displacement. At the same time, during the cleaning of reservoirs containing garbage, fuel oil stains are fed into a transportable container and transported to the fields as fertilizers, while clean seaweed is fed into dryers and used as an additive to the diet of animals. In addition, the construction of the unit, if necessary, assembled afloat is towed to another place with a large accumulation of algae. The bucket with algae is lifted with a temporary stop at the moment of horizontal position to completely release the algae from the water, while the quality of the technological process for cleaning water bodies is improved, while the algae are dehydrated.

The unit operates autonomously from solar energy and can operate automatically when using a computer program.

The noted positive aspects of the claimed object will allow to obtain a high economic effect and wide distribution in the system of environmental safety of natural resources.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 schematically shows a mobile unit for cleaning ponds from blue-green algae with their subsequent use.

In FIG. 1 the unit is equipped with a dryer, in FIG. 2 - unit with a conveyor for feeding garbage with algae to a container for transportation.

The unit contains a pontoon 1, on the housing of which buckets 2 with a concave fine-mesh surface 3 with an individual mechanical drive using a winch 4 are pivotally mounted, along the buckets there is a conveyor 5 for feeding algae, made with the possibility of changing the movement to the opposite for feeding garbage from the surface of the reservoir to the conveyor 6 and into the container 7 and the loading of pure algae into the conveyor dryer 8 with an annular elevator 9, the drying of algae and the movement of the unit are provided by solar panels 10.

The unit operates as follows.

When working in stationary conditions, when the unit is installed on water bodies - on rivers with a flow of water, buckets 2 are lowered to the depth of algae, while due to the flow, the mixture of water and algae passes through the fine-mesh surface of 3 buckets, the algae settle on their surface. As the buckets fill up, they are lifted and a short stop is made at the moment of horizontal position for the final removal of water from the algae. After that, the contents of the buckets are dumped onto the feed conveyor 5. Algae containing garbage, oil stains, are fed to the conveyor 6, and then dumped into the tank 7 for transportation to the place of disposal. Pure algae conveyor 5 is fed to the annular elevator 9, previously the conveyor 5 changes the direction of movement to the reverse. Using a ring elevator, algae are fed to the conveyor 8 of the dryer, while the heat and energy of the batteries are used.

Dry algae is collected in a conveyor for storage and further processing with the possibility of their further use.

When working in the composition with a watercraft, the latter is used as a tugboat, ensuring the movement of the unit when cleaning closed water bodies from blue-green algae. The unit operates offline. The workflow is similar to the technological process of the unit operating in stationary conditions.
