Vessel for cleaning waste in shallow waters
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a boat ( 1 ) for servicing shallow canals, lakes, and rivers configured for extracting, cutting, grinding, and casting plant waste, solid waste, or agricultural plantation harvest and sending what is harvested to shore, and comprising an extractor belt ( 3 ) configured for extracting the plant waste which is deposited on a horizontal conveyor belt ( 9 ) to a grinding mill ( 4 ); and further comprising at least one drive turbine ( 5 ) and a directional stack ( 6 ).
1. A boat ( 1 ) for servicing shallow waters configured for extracting, cutting, grinding, and casting off plant waste comprising:
a front saw ( 2 ) configured for cutting plants below the shallow water surface, wherein the front saw ( 2 ) can be raised and lowered from a front part of the boat ( 1 ) to about a meter below the shallow water surface; and
an extractor belt ( 3 ) configured for extracting plant waste previously cut by the front saw ( 2 ) which is deposited on a horizontal conveyor belt ( 9 ) to a grinding mill ( 4 ), wherein the extractor belt ( 3 ) is formed by a body supporting two rollers, a lower roller and an upper roller; and wherein the extractor belt is configured for being raised and lowered;
wherein the grinding mill ( 4 ) is arranged to grind and fragment the plant waste received from the horizontal conveyor belt ( 9 ) through the action of a rotor;
and wherein the grinded and fragmented plant waste is collected into a drive turbine ( 5 ) which is arranged to suction and cast the grinded and fragmented plant waste towards a height-adjustable stack ( 6 ) able to rotate 360° to a zone where the grinded and fragmented plant waste is to be deposited.
2. The boat ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , comprising radio frequency control means arranged to operate the boat ( 1 ) remotely and configured to establish work areas, restricted areas and automate paths.
3. The boat ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , comprising GPS geolocation means arranged to monitor a current position of the boat ( 1 ), past positions of the boat ( 1 ), and power consumption necessary for the extraction and grinding of the plant waste.
4. The boat ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the front saw ( 2 ) can be raised and lowered from the front part of the boat ( 1 ) to about a meter below the shallow water surface at the discretion of an operator.
5. The boat ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the extractor belt is configured for being raised and lowered at the discretion of an operator.
