Problems solved by technology

However, the device designed by Padgett and Brown in 1999 in foreign countries is complex in design, cumbersome in operation, and has high requirements on the environment. Narrow, low degree of simulation
The indoor simulation research on the dynamic response mechanism of intertidal organisms to tidal space and time currently mainly relies on artificial irrigation and drainage, which cannot completely accurately measure the submerged time and height of plants under different tidal conditions, resulting in arbitrary and inaccurate results
In addition, the irrigation and discharge of the whole device depend on manual work, which requires a lot of labor and is extremely inconvenient to operate.
At present, the fully automatic time-controlled water simulation of coastal tidal movement is still a blank

example 1

[0019] Example 1. Study on the optimal flooding time of Spartina in the growing season

[0020] refer to figure 1 , selected to be that three specifications are long 127cm, wide 74cm, the cement pool of high 70cm is connected as the water reservoir with the PVC pipe of 4cm with outer diameter. After the water storage tank is filled with artificial seawater, the water pump is placed in the water storage tank, and the water pump and the timer are jointly connected to a power supply. According to the tide schedule in the growing season, the timer is set to open the time period, and the PPR tee pipe with an outer diameter of 2.5cm is used to make the water pump pump the water in the reservoir into the sample box to simulate the seawater tide. The sample box utilizes five connections, the height of the sample box should be placed higher than the cement pool platform, and flower pots are placed in the box, and Spartina is planted in the pot. According to the different processing t...

[0021] Example 2. Studying the Response of Sorrelweed Growth to Tides

[0022] refer to figure 1 , selected as the cement pool with specifications of 3m × 3m × 3m as the reservoir. After the water storage tank is filled with artificial seawater, the water pump is placed in the water storage tank, and the water pump and the timer are jointly connected to a power supply. Set the tide time according to the tide table, set the timer to open the time period, and use the PPR tee pipe with an outer diameter of 2.5cm to make the water pump pump the water in the reservoir into the sample box to simulate the seawater tide. The height of the sample box should be placed higher than that of the cement pool platform, and a flower pot is placed in the box, and scutellaria is planted in the pot. Set the off time of the timer to stop the pumping. Punch a hole from the bottom of the plastic box, and use a PPR pipe with an outer diameter of 2.5cm to communicate with the drain pipe, and the dr...

Abstract

The invention is eco-environmental engineering technology; the device can be used to simulate the tidal changes. The devices have automatic intake system, sample boxes, and automatic water drainage system four partitions. The automatic intake system includes pumps, timers and the intake pipe; the samples boxes are used to store or plant test sample; the automatic drainage system includes solenoids, filters, timers and drainage channels. Two timers connect with pumps and solenoid valve. According to the different cycles of the coast tidal movement, set the timer to control the time of in / out time to simulate tidal movement. The tidal simulation environments simulated by the invention can provide necessary research and experimental platform for ecological response, ecosystem and biogeochemical cycles under dynamic conditions on the coastal zone.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ecological environment engineering, and in particular relates to an installation and use method of an automatic device for simulating seashore tidal changes. 2. Background technology [0002] The response of various organisms to tidal movement in the coastal wetland ecosystem is one of the important contents of ecological research. Studying the response mechanism of intertidal organisms to tidal movement will reveal the adaptation and evolution of coastal organisms, and help explain the seashore The evolution process and law of the ecosystem, and at the same time provide certain theoretical guidance for the applied research of coastal organisms. [0003] According to the patent search, there is no such patent at home and abroad; the literature search shows that there are 1 similar device at home and abroad that has been applied in scientific experiments. However, the device designed by Padgett and Bro...
