Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application mainly relates to the technical field of coral reef repair equipment, in particular to a coral reef transplanting and repairing device based on dredged soil utilization. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main body of the coral reef is composed of the remains of dead coral polyps, which are a kind of coelenterate in the ocean. During the growth process, they can absorb calcium and carbon dioxide in seawater, and then secrete limestone to become their own living shell. Each single coral polyp is only the size of a rice grain. They live together in groups and metabolize and grow generation after generation, while continuously secreting limestone and adhering together. These limestones are compacted and petrified over time to form islands and reefs, also known as coral reefs, which are distributed in deep and shallow seas. They can affect the physical and ecological conditions of their surrounding environment and provide living environments for many animals and plants, including worms, mollusks, sponges, echinoderms and crustaceans, accounting for about 25% of marine species. At the same time, they are also the habitat of juvenile oceanic pelagic fish.

[0003] In recent years, under the influence of human activities and global warming, global coral reefs have been threatened to varying degrees and are rapidly degrading. The coverage of reef-building corals has gradually decreased, endangering the repair status of the coral reef ecosystem. The coverage of the Great Barrier Reef has decreased from 28.0% in 1985 to 13.8% in 2012. The coral coverage of Wuzhizhou Island near Sanya, Hainan, China has degraded from about 50% in 2006 to less than 10% in 2013. Coral reefs, as one of the global ecosystems with the highest species diversity and the most abundant resources, have important ecological value and unique economic value. Therefore, in the face of the current situation of coral bleaching and large-scale degradation, coral reef repair is imminent. Coral reef repair refers to the use of scientific and reasonable methods to restore the vitality of degraded coral reefs and expand the coverage rate under human intervention.

[0004] However, during the process of coral reef repair, due to the action of underwater currents, the impact force is large, and there is no effective water flow impact blocking on the repair device sunk in the seabed, nor can it buffer and release pressure, so that under the action of water pressure, the coral reefs installed on the repair device usually fall accidentally, which cannot play a role in repairing the coral reefs. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical scheme of the present application provides a solution significantly different from the prior art to solve the technical problem that the coral reefs fixedly installed are easily damaged and fall off the repair plate under the action of the underwater current due to the absence of a buffer pressure relief mechanism.

[0006] The present application solves the above technical problems by using the following technical scheme:

[0007] The coral reef transplanting and repairing device based on dredged soil utilization comprises a coral reef repairing mechanism, the coral reef repairing mechanism comprises a barrel, a limiting rod is arranged at the middle position of the bottom inner cavity of the barrel, a rotating force relieving assembly is movably connected to the limiting rod, the rotating force relieving assembly comprises a middle sleeve, a plurality of groups of movable elements are arranged at equal intervals around the middle sleeve, each group comprises two movable elements, a lightweight structure frame and a coral reef repairing plate which is clamped in the lightweight structure frame are arranged on each group of two movable elements, and a floating rotating assembly is arranged at the upper end of the middle sleeve.

[0008] The floating rotating assembly comprises a bottom plate, a rotating element is arranged at the center position of the upper surface of the bottom plate, the rotating element comprises a central floating block, a plurality of obliquely distributed blades are arranged at equal intervals around the central floating block, and a top cover floating block is arranged on the upper side of the central floating block and is fitted with the upper edge of the barrel.

[0009] Preferably, each blade is provided with a beveled portion away from the central floating block.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of placement openings with different sizes are arranged on each coral reef repairing plate, a size-matched elastic fixing clamping element is arranged in each placement opening, and a plurality of strip-shaped openings are arranged on each coral reef repairing plate.

[0011] Preferably, a placement groove is arranged at the bottom of the outer wall of the barrel, a counterweight is arranged in the placement groove, a cross-shaped positioning frame is arranged at the lower side of the counterweight, and a bolt is arranged at each of the four end points of the cross-shaped positioning frame and is engaged with a threaded hole at the bottom of the barrel.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of installation grooves are arranged at equal intervals around the outer wall of the barrel, an arc-shaped structure plate is arranged in each installation groove, and an irregular breeding groove is arranged on each arc-shaped structure plate.

[0013] Preferably, each movable element comprises a first movable rod and a second movable rod, and a spring is arranged between the first movable rod and the second movable rod.

[0014] Preferably, a folded edge portion is arranged at the upper edge position of the top cover floating block.

[0015] Preferably, the cylinder, the arc-shaped structural plate, and the coral reef restoration plate are all formed by pressing dredged soil.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] This invention, through the design of a cylindrical body, a top cover float, a folded edge, a limiting rod, and an intermediate sleeve, enables all coral reef restoration boards to be placed inside the cylindrical body, resulting in an overall cylindrical appearance that is simple and clear, occupies less space, facilitates stacking of the cylindrical bodies, increases the transport capacity per trip, and also facilitates handling and transportation by workers. Furthermore, during the handling process, the coral reef restoration boards and the degraded coral reefs on the restoration boards will not be damaged.

[0018] This invention, through the design of an intermediate sleeve, movable parts, a lightweight structural frame, a coral reef restoration plate, a strip opening, a placement port, and elastic fixing clips, enables the installation of coral reefs onto corresponding elastic fixing clips. This provides a location for coral reef restoration after the entire device is deployed to the seabed. With the cooperation of the base plate, rotating parts, and top cover float, buoyancy is used to quickly pull the coral reef restoration plate from the lightweight structural frame out of the cylinder and unfold it. The structure is stable and can dissipate force through rotation, weakening the water flow force acting on the coral reef and preventing damage. At the same time, the counterweight at the bottom of the cylinder increases the weight of the cylinder itself, making the entire device lighter at the top and heavier at the bottom. Thus, the entire device self-corrects its position during sinking and can land stably on the seabed, effectively reducing the probability of collapse.

[0019] The cylindrical body, arc-shaped structural plate, and coral reef restoration plate of this invention are all formed by pressing dredged soil. The dredged soil resource comes from the ocean and is used for the ocean, which conforms to the low-carbon concept of resource recycling. It has the function of improving the aquatic ecological environment and enhancing the ecological function of the aquatic area. Moreover, the dredged soil is non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly, which can maximize the purpose of protecting aquatic organisms. The reproductive grooves on the arc-shaped structural plate provide a living place for fish to metabolize and reproduce. At the same time, it can also attract coral polyps, worms, mollusks, sponges, echinoderms, and crustaceans to attach, build ecological balance, and realize the ecological restoration of coral reefs. It can achieve the purpose of protecting, increasing, and improving coral reefs. When subjected to water flow impact, the coral reef restoration plate rotates to dissipate the force, protecting the coral reef. The cylindrical body remains stationary, providing a stable living space for fish. It realizes a "dynamic and static combination" mode, which further accelerates the formation of coral reef ecosystem.

[0020] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate several embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and complete.

[0031] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly associated with those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Example 1, please refer to the appendix for details. Figures 1-6 As shown, a coral reef transplantation and restoration device based on dredged soil utilization includes a coral reef restoration mechanism 1. The coral reef restoration mechanism 1 includes a cylindrical body 11. A limiting rod 13 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 11, and a rotating stress-relieving component 2 is movably connected to the limiting rod 13. The limiting rod 13 constrains the rotating stress-relieving component 2, allowing it to move only up and down. The rotating stress-relieving component 2 includes a middle sleeve 21, on which multiple sets of movable parts 22 are arranged at equal intervals. Each set includes two movable parts 22. Furthermore, each set of two movable parts 22 is equipped with a lightweight structural frame 23 and a coral reef restoration plate 24 that is snapped into the lightweight structural frame 23. The upper end of the intermediate sleeve 21 is equipped with a floating and rotating assembly 3. The floating and rotating assembly 3 includes a base plate 31, and a rotating part 32 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the base plate 31. The rotating part 32 includes a central float 321. Multiple inclined blades 322 are arranged around the central float 321 at equal intervals. A top cover float 33 is provided on the upper side of the central float 321, and the top cover float 33 fits with the upper edge of the cylinder 11.

[0034] The above structure provides a site for coral reef restoration after the device is deployed to the seabed. It is stable and can reduce the force of water flow on the coral reef by rotating, thus preventing damage. At the same time, it provides a habitat for fish to metabolize and reproduce, and attracts coral polyps, worms, mollusks, sponges, echinoderms and crustaceans to build ecological balance and achieve the ecological restoration of coral reefs. It can achieve the purpose of protecting, increasing and improving coral reefs. Moreover, the dredged soil is used as a material, which realizes the ecological and efficient use of resources and has the effect of improving the aquatic ecological environment and enhancing the aquatic ecological function.

[0035] The specific operation is as follows: First, the degraded coral reef is installed in the placement opening 25 of the coral reef restoration plate 24 using the elastic fixing clip 26. Then, the entire rotating force-relieving assembly 2 is installed on the limiting rod 13 and placed inside the cylinder 11. Subsequently, multiple cylinders 11 are stacked vertically and placed on a transport vehicle. After being transported to the destination, the entire device is directly thrown into the sea. Due to the buoyancy of the seawater, the central float 321 and the top cover float 33 in the floating rotating assembly 3 pull the coral reef restoration plate 24 out of the cylinder 11. At the same time, due to the effect of the counterweight 12, the position of the entire device is corrected during the sinking process, so that the entire device can reach the seabed smoothly. When subjected to the force of the seabed current, the rotating component 32 rotates. Subsequently, the rotating component 32 drives the coral reef restoration plate 24 on the lightweight structural frame 23 to rotate through the intermediate sleeve 21, thereby relieving the force.

[0036] Example 2, please refer to the appendix for details. Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the outer wall of the cylinder 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots 112 at equal intervals. Each mounting slot 112 is provided with an arc-shaped structural plate 16, and each arc-shaped structural plate 16 is provided with an irregular breeding groove 161. The arc-shaped structural plate 16 provides a place for fish to live. Each movable component 22 includes a first movable rod 221 and a second movable rod 222, and a spring 223 is provided between the first movable rod 221 and the second movable rod 222. Through the cooperation between the first movable rod 221, the second movable rod 222 and the spring 223, the following functions are achieved: After the lower edge of the lightweight structural frame 23 leaves the cylinder 11, the coral reef restoration plate 24 is opened up, increasing the distance between adjacent coral reef restoration plates 24 and increasing the space for worms, mollusks, sponges, echinoderms, and crustaceans to attach, which facilitates the construction of an ecosystem. The cylinder 11, the arc-shaped structural plate 16, and the coral reef restoration plate 24 are all made of dredged soil. By using dredged soil as the main material, the ecological and efficient utilization of dredged soil resources is achieved. It has the effect of improving the aquatic ecological environment and enhancing the aquatic ecological function. Moreover, the cost is low, which is in line with the concept of low carbon and is a manifestation of resource recycling.

[0037] Example 3, please refer to the appendix for details. Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figure 6, each of the blades 322 has a beveled surface 323 on the side away from the central float 321. Each of the coral reef restoration plates 24 has multiple placement openings 25 of different sizes, and each placement opening 25 has a matching elastic fixing clip 26. The elastic fixing clip 26 has an I-shaped structure. Through the I-shaped structure of the elastic fixing clip 26, the bottom of the coral reef can be installed in the matching placement opening 25. Since the placement openings 25 are of different sizes, they can better adapt to coral reefs of different sizes. Each of the coral reef restoration plates 24 has multiple strip openings 241. Through the strip openings 241, water flow can easily pass through the coral reef restoration plate 24, reducing the impact of water flow on the coral reef restoration plate 24. With force applied, a placement groove 111 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the cylinder 11. A counterweight 12 is provided in the placement groove 111. A cross-shaped positioning frame 14 is provided on the lower side of the counterweight 12. Bolts 15 are provided at the four ends of the cross-shaped positioning frame 14. The bolts 15 are engaged with the threaded holes at the bottom of the cylinder 11. Through the cooperation between the counterweight 12, the cross-shaped positioning frame 14 and the bolts 15, the weight of the bottom of the cylinder 11 is increased, which increases the probability that the device will land stably on the seabed. A folded edge 331 is provided at the upper edge of the top cover float 33. Through the folded edge 331, the lower edge of the upper cylinder 11 can be stably placed on the upper side of the top cover float 33 of the lower cylinder 11 during the stacking process.

[0038] The present invention has been described by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
