Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent coastal protection construction technology, specifically to an adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-dissipating device. Background Technology

[0002] Mangroves have extensive root systems, primarily composed of prop roots, geniculate roots, and buttress roots. These well-organized root systems exhibit excellent adaptability and energy dissipation capabilities against the impact of waves and tides. They effectively intercept sediment from the land and reduce the sediment content of nearshore waters, providing multiple functions such as wave dissipation and siltation promotion, bank stabilization and dike protection, water purification, and stabilization of coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Therefore, artificial afforestation along the coast to construct mangrove ecological revetments is of significant value.

[0003] However, mangrove growth is limited by specific environmental conditions, and they are only distributed in the intertidal zone of tropical and subtropical coasts and in estuarine mudflats accessible by tides. Currently, the techniques for cold-resistant domestication and northward introduction of mangroves are not yet mature. Artificial mangrove afforestation relies on flat beaches in the upper-middle intertidal zone with weak hydrodynamics and silty bottoms. For unsuitable areas such as rocky coasts, it is necessary to create land by building dikes and then equip the land with components such as hollow bricks, planting frames, and planting bags, filling them with organic silt for auxiliary planting. It is difficult to achieve large-scale cross-latitudinal promotion and planting of mangrove ecological revetments.

[0004] On the other hand, current coastal protection projects mainly use traditional rigid revetment structures composed of large rocks and concrete components. This disrupts the balance of sediment transport and the habitat of organisms in the coastal zone, and to some extent leads to the degradation of the intertidal ecosystem. At the same time, rigid revetment structures have several defects in wave dissipation and revetment that need to be addressed: 1) When relying on vertical retaining walls for wave dissipation, the top elevation of the retaining wall must be raised above the extreme high tide level to resist wave erosion. This results in an excessively high retaining wall structure and increased foundation pressure. To ensure the stability and safety of the retaining wall, additional costs are required to strengthen the foundation, making it less economical. 2) When using sloping revetments to dissipate waves, the waterfront platform, as a structural transition section, is located in the high-energy wave zone. The slope surface of the sloping revetment is usually relatively smooth and has a weak wave dissipation capacity. Under the impact of ship waves or severe wind and waves, it is easy to cause the water level to rise due to the accumulation of wave energy, which will generate a violent instantaneous impact force on the bank slope. There are problems such as the deterioration of the revetment material caused by the impact of wave water, the inconvenience of replacing the damaged rigid revetment components, and the instability of the upper slope toe or the entire revetment, which constitute the weak link of the revetment structure system.

[0005] Furthermore, existing wave-damping devices mostly have fixed structural parameters, lacking real-time sensing and dynamic response capabilities to wave conditions. This means they struggle to automatically and accurately adjust key wave-damping parameters such as the wave-facing area based on changes in wave elements, failing to achieve optimal wave-damping efficiency across all time periods and wave conditions. When wave heights are low, static wave-damping devices often generate unnecessary flow resistance due to excessively large wave-facing areas or overly dense structural layouts. This not only wastes materials and increases costs but also excessively dissipates wave energy, hindering water exchange and navigation. Under extreme wave conditions such as storm surges, insufficient wave-damping capacity can lead to damage to the wave-damping structure or shoreline erosion.

[0006] Therefore, under these circumstances, this application combines the natural prototype of mangroves with civil engineering materials to propose a biomimetic wave-dissipating device that can intelligently sense actual wave conditions and adaptively adjust the wave-facing area. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies, improves the intelligence level of coastal protection projects, and better meets people's needs for coastline protection. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art and provide an adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-damping device.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0009] An adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-damping device is disclosed. The wave-damping device includes a main frame, wave-damping components, and an adaptive intelligent adjustment device. The main frame includes a central column, a fixed plate, and a locking nut. The central column is a vertical load-bearing column designed to mimic the main root structure of a mangrove support. The central column passes through two oppositely arranged fixed plates. The locking nut is threaded to one end of the central column that passes through the fixed plate and is pressed and fixed by a limiting block of the central column.

[0010] The wave-damping assembly includes a rectangular wave-damping grid and V-shaped support rods. The rectangular wave-damping grid is a spatial truss structure designed to mimic the support roots and knee-like roots of mangroves. The rectangular wave-damping grid includes wave-damping rods, connecting rods, and diagonal rods. The wave-damping rods are arranged at intervals, and the two ends of each wave-damping rod are fixedly connected to connecting rods arranged opposite each other along the length of the wave-damping rod, forming two rectangular wave-damping grids with the middle wave-damping rod as a common rod. The diagonal rods connect the diagonals of the rectangular wave-damping grids to form a double-triangular stable structure. Both ends of the rectangular wave-damping grids and the V-shaped support rods are provided with insert rods, which are interlocked in two fixed plates in a double-circular equidistant array to achieve interconnection and interlocking.

[0011] Preferably, the adaptive intelligent adjustment device includes an adjustment device and a sensor. The adjustment device is fixed on a top fixed plate. The top fixed plate has a lifting platform that slides relatively along the vertical direction. A first protective box is fixedly connected to the top fixed plate. A cylinder is fixedly installed inside the first protective box. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform. Two uprights are fixedly connected to the lifting platform. An active rod is rotatably connected to the uprights. The two active rods move closer to or further away from each other. A follower rod is fixedly connected to the end of the active rod that is away from the upright.

[0012] Preferably, a second protective box is fixedly connected to the lifting platform, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed inside the second protective box. A serrated strip with grooves on both sides is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod, and a mating block is fixedly connected to the active rod. The mating block has a groove that mates with the serrated strip.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the follower rod away from the driving rod is slidably connected to a sliding rod, the wave-damping rod has an embedding groove for the sliding rod to be embedded, the end of the follower rod away from the driving rod passes through the sliding rod, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the follower rod, and a sliding groove for the sliding block to slide is provided in the sliding rod.

[0014] Preferably, the sensor is fixed on a hydrophilic platform, an auxiliary frame is fixedly connected to the hydrophilic platform, an auxiliary plate is slidably connected to the auxiliary frame, the auxiliary plate is provided with a spring, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the auxiliary plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the auxiliary frame, an infrared sensor and a controller are fixedly installed on the auxiliary frame, multiple infrared sensors are provided and arranged in an array, the infrared sensors and the controller are transmitted through signals, and the controller is transmitted through signals to the cylinder and the electric telescopic rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the wave-damping device also includes an anchoring assembly located at the lower end of the central column. The anchoring assembly includes a base and an anchor bolt. The lower end of the central column is fixedly connected to the base, and the anchor bolt passes through the connecting plate at the bottom of the base and is threadedly connected to the hydrophilic platform.

[0016] Preferably, the base is a one-piece molded concrete component, the anchor bolt is a high-precision stainless steel component, and the surface of the anchor bolt needs to be lubricated and coated with a galvanized or phosphated anti-corrosion coating.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] 1. The prefabricated structure design allows components to be processed and transported separately for on-site assembly. The wave-damping device uses wave-damping components to mechanically break up waves for primary energy dissipation. The permeable channels between the components enhance turbulence intensity, inducing multi-directional turbulent collisions within the device after the waves have broken up, achieving secondary energy dissipation. Subsequently, the water rises along the slope of the revetment due to inertia. After the inertia ends, the waves begin to fall, converting the impact force along the slope into horizontal and vertical impact forces, achieving tertiary energy dissipation. This effectively reduces the impact of waves on the slope revetment and erosion at the toe, maintaining the overall structural stability of the revetment.

[0019] 2. By replicating the shelter conditions provided by natural mangroves through biomimetic design, the components are assembled to form a cavity that can function as an artificial reef, trapping suspended particles to purify water quality, providing habitats for aquatic organisms, and thus effectively improving the ecological environment of the coastal zone.

[0020] 3. The biomimetic wave-dissipating device equipped with an adaptive intelligent adjustment mechanism possesses the dynamic adjustment capability to respond to changes in wave conditions in real time. The adaptive intelligent adjustment mechanism consists of an adjustment device and sensors, forming a closed-loop feedback mechanism of "perception-decision-adjustment." It can promptly change the wave-facing area of ​​the wave-dissipating components, automatically reducing water flow resistance to promote water exchange under small wave conditions; and rapidly enhancing wave-dissipating performance to protect coastal safety under extreme wave conditions, thereby significantly improving wave-dissipating efficiency and achieving a technological leap from passive protection to adaptive intelligent adjustment in wave-dissipating devices.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 This application will be described in further detail. Example 1

[0036] This application discloses an adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-damping device, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-dissipating device is fixed on the waterfront platform 2. The top of the wall-type revetment 1 is flush with the waterfront platform 2. The landward edge of the waterfront platform 2 is connected to the lower end of the sloping revetment 3, which extends upwards towards the landward from the connection point. The main frame 41 and wave-dissipating components 42 combine the natural prototype of mangroves with civil engineering materials. Through the adjustment device 43 and sensor 44, they intelligently sense the actual wave conditions and adaptively adjust the wave-facing area, replacing the mangrove ecological revetment to play the roles of flow obstruction, wave dissipation, revetment protection, and improvement of the coastal ecological environment, thereby improving wave dissipation efficiency and the level of intelligence in coastal protection engineering.

[0037] The sloping revetment 3 is the third-stage energy dissipation structure. After the first two stages of energy dissipation, the water will rise along the revetment surface of the sloping revetment 3 under the action of inertia. After the action of inertia disappears, the water will fall down the slope, decomposing the impact force along the slope into horizontal and vertical components, thus achieving the final reduction of wave energy.

[0038] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the main frame 41 includes a central column 411, a fixing plate 412, and a locking nut 413. The central column 411 passes through two opposing fixing plates 412. The upper end of the top fixing plate 412 is provided with a lifting semi-ring that also serves as a handle. The locking nut 413 is threaded to one end of the central column 411 that passes through the fixing plate 412, and cooperates with the limiting block of the central column 411 to press and fix the fixing plate 412. In actual installation, the operator passes the central column 411 through the two fixing plates 412, with the fixing plate 412 abutting against the limiting block of the central column 411. Then, the locking nut 413 is tightened until it abuts against the fixing plate 412, thereby fixing the central column 411 and the fixing plate 412, and the main frame 41 is formed.

[0039] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the wave-damping component 42 includes a rectangular wave-damping grid and V-shaped support rods 424. The rectangular wave-damping grid includes wave-damping rods 421, connecting rods 422, and diagonal rods 423. The wave-damping rods 421 are arranged at intervals, and the two ends of each wave-damping rod 421 are fixedly connected to the connecting rods 422, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the wave-damping rod 421, forming two rectangular wave-damping grids with the middle wave-damping rod 421 as a common rod. The diagonal rods 423 connect the diagonals of the rectangular wave-damping grids to form a double-triangular stable structure, which enhances the wave-damping effect and improves the reliability of the wave-damping device. The presence of the diagonal rods 423 and V-shaped support rods 424 not only provides rigid support but also increases the wave-facing area and the collision frequency with the wave water, improving the efficiency of turbulent collision and thus increasing the dissipation of wave energy. Both ends of the rectangular wave-damping grid and the V-shaped support rods 424 are provided with insert rods. The V-shaped support rods 424 are concentrically positioned and are interlocked with the rectangular wave-damping grid in a double-circular equidistant array in two fixed plates to achieve interconnection and interlocking.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the lower end of the central column 411 is provided with an anchoring assembly 45, which includes a base 451 and an anchor bolt 452. The lower end of the central column 411 is fixedly connected to the base 451, and the anchor bolt 452 passes through the connecting plate at the bottom of the base 451 and is threadedly connected to the hydrophilic platform 2. The base 451 provides support for the central column 411, and the anchor bolt 452 is used to rigidly anchor the base 451 to the hydrophilic platform 2, thereby realizing the installation of the overall wave-damping device. The base 451 is a one-piece molded concrete component, and the anchor bolt 452 is a high-precision stainless steel component. The surface of the anchor bolt 452 needs to be lubricated and coated with a galvanized or phosphated anti-corrosion coating.

[0041] The implementation principle of the adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-dissipating device in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0042] The wave-dissipating rod 421 and the inclined rod 423 are first impacted by the wave water, which reduces the flow velocity and breaks up, thus achieving primary energy dissipation. The triangular permeable channels of the rectangular wave-dissipating grid enhance the turbulence intensity, inducing the broken wave water to form multi-directional turbulent collisions inside the wave-dissipating device, thus achieving secondary energy dissipation. The central column 411, wave-dissipating rod 421, and inclined rod 423 increase the wave-facing area and the frequency of collisions with the wave water, improving the efficiency of turbulent collisions and thus increasing the dissipation of wave energy. Subsequently, the water rises along the slope of the revetment 3 due to inertia. After the inertia ends, the wave water begins to fall and converts the impact force along the slope into horizontal and vertical impact forces, thus achieving tertiary energy dissipation.

[0043] As described above, the adaptive intelligent adjustment device includes an adjustment device 43 and a sensor 44. The adjustment device 43 is fixedly mounted on a top fixed plate 412. A lifting platform 431, which slides vertically on the top fixed plate 412, is fixedly connected to the top fixed plate 412. A cylinder 4321 is fixedly installed inside the first protective box 432. The piston rod of the cylinder 4321 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 431. The piston rod of the cylinder 4321 can drive the movement of the lifting platform 431, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 431.

[0044] like Figure 2 and 4As shown, two uprights 434 are fixedly connected to the lifting platform 431. A drive rod 435 is rotatably connected to each upright 434, and the two drive rods 435 rotate towards or away from each other. A second protective box 433 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 431, and an electric telescopic rod 4331 is fixedly installed inside the second protective box 433. A serrated strip 438 with grooves on both sides is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 4331. A mating block 4351 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 435, and the mating block 4351 has a groove that mates with the serrated strip 438. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 4331 can drive the sliding of the serrated strip 438. The serrated strip 438 interacts with the two mating blocks 4351, causing the two mating blocks 4351 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the two drive rods 435.

[0045] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, a follower rod 436 is fixedly connected to the end of the active rod 435 away from the upright rod 434. A sliding rod 437 is slidably connected to the end of the follower rod 436 away from the active rod 435. An embedding groove 4211 for the sliding rod 437 to be embedded is provided on the outer wave-damping rod 421. The bottom end of the sliding rod 437 abuts against the groove wall of the embedding groove 4211. The end of the follower rod 436 away from the active rod 435 passes through the sliding rod 437. A sliding block 4361 is fixedly connected to the end of the follower rod 436 away from the active rod 435. A sliding groove 4371 for the sliding block 4361 to slide is provided in the sliding rod 437. When the lifting platform 431 rises, the lifting platform 431 can drive the upright 434 to rise, the upright 434 can drive the driving rod 435 to rise, the driving rod 435 can drive the follower rod 436 to rise, and the follower rod 436 can drive the sliding block 4361 to rise, so that the sliding block 4361 fits against the groove wall of the sliding groove 4371, which facilitates the rotation of the sliding rod 437 by the follower rod 436.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, sensor 44 is fixedly mounted on hydrophilic platform 2. An auxiliary frame 441 is fixedly connected to hydrophilic platform 2, and an auxiliary plate 442 is slidably connected to the auxiliary frame 441. The auxiliary plate 442 is equipped with a spring 443, one end of which is fixedly connected to the auxiliary plate 442, and the other end is fixedly connected to the auxiliary frame 441. The spring 443 can apply a pushing force to the auxiliary plate 442 to achieve its reset. Infrared sensors 444 and a controller 445 are fixedly mounted on the auxiliary frame 441. Multiple infrared sensors 444 are arranged in an array. The infrared sensors 444 and the controller 445 communicate via signal transmission. The controller 445 also communicates via signal transmission with the cylinder 4321 and the electric telescopic rod 4331. The wave flow collides with the auxiliary plate 442, causing the auxiliary plate 442 to slide within the auxiliary frame 441. When the impact force of the wave water on the auxiliary plate 442 is sufficient, the movement of the auxiliary plate 442 will trigger the infrared sensor 444. According to the actual wave conditions, the infrared sensor 444 sends different levels of signals to the controller 445. The controller 445 sends signals to the cylinder 4321 and the electric telescopic rod 4331, thereby realizing the movement of the lifting platform 431 and the sawtooth 438.

[0047] The implementation principle of the adaptive and intelligently adjustable biomimetic mangrove-style wave-dissipating device in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0048] Waves collide with the auxiliary plate 442. The movement of the auxiliary plate 442 triggers the infrared sensor 444, which sends a signal to the controller 445. The controller 445 then sends signals to the cylinder 4321 and the electric telescopic rod 4331. The piston rod of the cylinder 4321 drives the lifting platform 431 and the upright rod 434 to rise. The upright rod 434 then drives the active rod 435 and the follower rod 436 to rise, thereby extending the vertical length of the outer wave-damping rod 421 and increasing the wave-damping area. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 4331 drives the movement of the serrated rack 438. The serrated rack 438 drives the rotation of the two mating blocks 4351, thereby causing the two active rods 435 to move closer to each other. The rotation of the active rods 435 drives the rotation of the follower rod 436 and the sliding rod 437, causing the sliding rod 437 to slide out of the embedded groove 4211, changing the wave-facing area of ​​the wave-damping component and thus improving the overall wave-damping effect.

[0049] The adaptive intelligent adjustment process of the wave-damping device is as follows:

[0050] like Figure 6 and 7As shown, after the auxiliary plate 442 is hit by the wave, it moves towards the inside of the sensor 44, which first triggers the infrared sensor 444 at the end. Then the controller 445 sends a signal, and the cylinder 4321 and the electric telescopic rod 4331 receive the signal and start up and are in the ready state. The wave-damping device 4 at this moment is marked as the initial state. At this time, the wave-damping area of ​​the wave-damping device 4 is the smallest and the wave-damping ability is the weakest.

[0051] like Figure 6 and 8 As shown, when the auxiliary plate 442 moves and triggers the second row of infrared sensors 444, the controller 445 sends a signal to the cylinder 4321. After receiving the signal, the cylinder 4321 drives the follower rod 436 to rise, extending the length of the outer wave-damping rod 421 in the vertical direction, increasing the exposed wave-damping area, and realizing the first wave-damping state of the wave-damping device 4.

[0052] like Figure 6 and 9 As shown, as the wave action intensifies, the auxiliary plate 442 continues to move inward. When the infrared sensor 444 in the third row is triggered, the controller 445 sends a signal to the electric telescopic rod 4331. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 4331 can drive the sawtooth strip 438 to move, thereby causing the follower rod 436 to drive the sliding rod 437 to rotate and slide out of the embedded groove 4211, further increasing the wave-damping area and realizing the second wave-damping state of the wave-damping device 4.

[0053] like Figure 6 and 10 As shown, under extreme wave conditions such as storm surge, the auxiliary plate 442 moves significantly, triggering the infrared sensor 444 in the fourth row. At this time, the controller 445 sends a signal to the electric telescopic rod 4331 again. The follower rod 436 drives the sliding rod 437 to continue rotating until the angle reaches the limit. The two active rods 435 approach each other and are approximately parallel. At this time, the wave-dissipating device 4 reaches the third wave-dissipating state, with the largest wave-dissipating area and the best wave-dissipating effect.

[0054] After the waves attenuate, the auxiliary plate 442 moves outward under the thrust of the spring 443, triggering different infrared sensors 444 again. The adjustment system 43 then makes corresponding control adjustments. Since the trigger mark of the first infrared sensor 444 is in the initial state, after the auxiliary plate 442 moves outward to reset, it triggers the first infrared sensor 444 again, and the wave-dissipating device 4 returns to the initial state. When the waves act again, the above process is repeated, forming a closed-loop feedback mechanism of "perception-decision-adjustment".

[0055] It should be noted that the number of the aforementioned infrared sensors 444 and their corresponding wave-dissipating states can be adjusted according to actual wave conditions, and are not limited to the specific number and structural form shown in this embodiment.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
