Apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters using infrared ray sensor and gps
Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters using an infrared ray sensor and a GPS, wherein driving force can be supplied through a solar photovoltaic power module, and there are provided a motored propelling unit, for example, a propeller, and an infrared ray sensor for detecting the presence of a predetermined thing, so the apparatus can automatically move on the surface of water, and the generation of water-bloom, for example, algae, may be inhibited using ultrasonic waves, and in case where electric power supply is impossible because the lack of quantity of solar radiation, the apparatus may automatically return to the dock using the GPS device, thus being electrically charged.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, comprising:
wherein a plurality of buoys each having a solar photovoltaic power generation module are grouped and fixed to each other, thus floating on the surface of water, a blade which is provided at a front side of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to filter the floating matters or water-bloom on the surface of water; a motored propelling unit which is provided at a rear side of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to generate propelling force with the aid of electric power generated through the solar photovoltaic power generation module; and one or a plurality of detection means which is provided at a predetermined portion of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to detect the presence of a predetermined obstacle under the water or on the surface of water for the sake of a direction change during the operations on the surface of water.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
one or a plurality of ultrasonic wave generators which is provided at a predetermined portion of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to remove water-bloom by emitting ultrasonic waves into water.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a GPS control unit and a GPS receiving unit which are provided at a predetermined portion of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to trace the position of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters or move the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters to a predetermined position.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a charging terminal is provided at one side of the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters, so as to receive external electric power, and the apparatus for reducing water-bloom and removing floating matters is able to return to a charging dock with the aid of the GPS receiving unit and the GPS control unit, and the charging terminal is connected to a charging unit of the charging dock, thus being electrically charged.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at a wall surface of each of the buoy, there is provided a rail groove the cross section of which is formed in a ‘ ’ shape, and the bottom of which is closed, and the top of which is open, and there is further provided a connector the cross section of which is formed in a ‘ ’-shape so that the connector is inserted downward from the open top of the rail groove and separates upward, and when the outer walls of each buoy face each other, the connectors are concurrently inserted into the rail grooves in a state where each rail groove faces each other, thus fixedly interconnecting the neighboring buoys.
6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the blade or the motored propelling unit is fixed at one side of the connector, respectively, and the other side of the connector slides and is inserted in the rail groove of the buoy, so the blade or the motored propelling unit is fixed at the buoy, respectively.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
