(9) As shown in FIG. 4, the paddle wheel 21 comprises a stator 211 and a rotor 212, the rotor 212 is composed of a hub and fan blades, the fan blades are processed into a filter mesh with larger openings and generally with the number of 6 to 8, the hub is a general form of the paddle wheel, and the rotor 212 is driven with a pulley by a first motor 213 installed in the demihull. The stator 211 is concentrically fitted with the hub of the rotor 212 to support the rotor 212, and small slots are formed at both sides and a central region of the central axis of the stator 211, and rollers 2112 are installed in the slots to support the rotation of the rotor 212 of the paddle wheel. A portion of the stator 211 above a waterline is closed and formed angled internal ramps at both sides, so that large garbage can slip into the large garbage storage bin 22 from the fan blades along the slipways 24 by gravity, and the ramp at each side is enhanced to ensure the strength thereof. A larger gap is provided on the immersed portion of the stator 211, so that tiny garbage can flow through the gap conveniently. The paddle wheel 21 is arranged at a front portion of a waterway, the slipways 24 are arranged at two sides of the paddle wheel 21 and are connected with the paddle wheel 21 and the large garbage storage bin 22, a garbage compression device 23 is arranged right above the large garbage storage bin 22, a bottom portion of the garbage compression device 23 is provided with a pressure sensor 41, and two sides of an upper portion of the garbage compression device 23 are provided with infrared sensors 42, as shown in FIG. 5.

(10) The compression device 23 adopts a gear rack mechanism driven by a second motor 232, as shown in FIG. 6. The central controller 11 determines whether the compression device 23 is used or not according to the pressure sensor 41 in the large garbage storage bin 22, and feeds back weight information to an upper computer in real time. The central controller 11 is connected with each motor driver and each sensor module, and is powered by a solar panel 14, and the motor are powered by an additional power source. The large garbage on the flowing water is salvaged by the fan blades and slips into the large garbage storage bin 22 along the slipways 24. Large space is always left in the storage bin when the large garbage is stored; when the weight of the collected garbage is detected by the pressure sensor 41 or the height thereof is detected by the infrared sensor 42 to reach a limit value, the second motor 232 drives a gear rack 231 under the control of the central controller 11, then the compression device compresses the large garbage; when the pressure sensor 41 reaches another limit value, the second motor 232 returns the compression device under the control of the central controller 11, and the garbage compression is completed. When the garbage bin is fully loaded, the central controller 11 will notify the upper computer to remind an operator to recycle the collected garbage.

(11) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the small garbage cleaning device comprises a filter mesh 32, a guide rail slider mechanism, a lifting mechanism 31, a door-shaped hanging bracket 36 for connecting the filter mesh 32 and the lifting mechanism 31, and a pulley system 35. The filter mesh 32 is made of stainless steel, is processed to be connected with the hanging bracket 36 and ropes of the pulley system 35, and is arranged at a position behind a middle portion of a waterway. Each of two sides of the filter mesh 32 is provided with a lifting mechanism 31, two synchronous lifting mechanisms adopt a scissor-type platform mechanism and are driven by a pair of stepping motors 335, the lifting mechanisms 31 are arranged at a back position relative to the filter mesh 32 on both sides of the demihull, two ends of the door-shaped hanging bracket 36 are installed on a deck of the lifting mechanisms 31, a middle portion of the hanging bracket is connected with the filter mesh 32, one end of a rope of the pulley system 35 is tied to the deck of the lifting mechanisms 31, and the other end thereof is tied to the filter mesh 32. When the lifting mechanisms are lifted, both sides of the filter mesh 32 are lifted by the hanging bracket 36 and the rope, avoiding generating great moment of force. Additionally, a flow meter 43 is arranged behind the filter mesh 32, and sends data to the central controller 11. The guide rail slider mechanism is arranged right above the filter mesh 32 and comprises a lead screw guide rail and a slider 333, the lead screw guide rail is composed of an optical shaft 331 and a screw 332 which are across a middle part of a waterway, a cleaning brush 334 is arranged on a bottom portion of the slider 333, two ends of the lead screw guide rail are installed on two sides of the demihull, the screw 332 is driven by a motor to drive the slider 333 to slide along the screw guide rail through a screw guide rail structure. The garbage storage bin 34 is arranged below each of two ends of a stroke of the cleaning brush 334. A top portion of the hanging bracket 36 is fixed with a solar panel 14 for powering the control system.

(12) The small garbage cleaning device is arranged on a rear portion of the large garbage salvaging device, and filters the small garbage that large garbage salvaging device fails to collect to filter mesh 32; when the flow meter 43 behind the filter mesh 32 detects a large percentage reduction in flow velocity, the central controller 11 controls stepping motors 335 to drive the lifting mechanisms to drive filter mesh 32 to lift, the motor on the screw guide rail is then started to drive the cleaning brush 334 to push from one side of the filter mesh 32 to the other side, thereby pushing the garbage on the filter mesh 32 into the garbage storage bin 34.

(13) The solar panels 14 convert solar energy to electrical energy, some of which is stored in an additional power source dedicated to the control system, and the primary power source 12 supplies power to other components of the system. The paddle wheel 21 continuously works to push the large garbage into the large garbage storage bin 22, the central controller 11 determines whether the compression device 23 is started or not according to the pressure sensor 41 in the large garbage storage bin 22, determines in real time whether the compression limit is reached or not according to the pressure in the compression process; if yes, the compression device 23 is reset, an infrared sensor 42 is arranged on a top portion of the large garbage storage bin 22, and the controller determines whether the bin is in a full-load state or not according to an infrared feedback signal and then informs the upper computer. The flow meter 43 is arranged behind the filter mesh 32 of the small garbage cleaning device, the flow velocity of water behind the filter mesh 32 can change according to the garbage adhesion amount on the filter mesh 32, and the controller determines the time for lifting the filter mesh 32 and starting other mechanisms of the small garbage cleaning device according to flow velocity feedback information.

(14) When the water surface garbage salvaging device is used, the central controller 11 controls the first motor 213 driving the paddle wheel 21 to periodically operate, continuously salvaging large garbage; when a pressure gauge in the large garbage storage bin 22 reaches a certain limit value, the garbage compressor is started to compress garbage, and when the pressure gauge reaches another larger limit value, the garbage compressor is reset; the controller controls the lifting mechanisms, the flow meter 43 behind the filter mesh determines whether enough garbage is filtered or not, if yes, the filter mesh 32 is lifted, the motor for controlling the lead screw guide rail is operated to push garbage into the garbage storage bins 34 at two sides; when the central controller 11 determines that the bin is in a full-load state according to the data fed back by the infrared and pressure sensors, a signal is sent to the upper computer to remind an operator to recycle the garbage; additionally, the mechanism reserves super user permission, sensor data are transmitted back in real time, and all devices can be controlled by the upper computer, so that an operator can conveniently and accurately salvage or avoid water flow. Most functions of the water surface garbage salvaging system have automatic programs, so that the automatic garbage salvaging can be realized; the salvaging system has high efficiency and reduced labor cost, and is safe and reliable due to enough electric energy provided by the solar energy ensuring the connection of the system.
