Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquatic ecological environment, and in particular to a floating island device for aquatic ecological environment. Background Technology

[0002] Ecological floating islands, also known as artificial floating beds or ecological floating beds, are a type of artificial floating island designed for eutrophic water quality. Utilizing ecological engineering principles, they degrade COD, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the water. Primarily composed of aquatic plants, they employ soilless cultivation techniques, using polymer materials as carriers and substrates. By leveraging interspecies symbiosis and fully utilizing the ecological niches and nutrient niches of the water body, they establish a highly efficient artificial ecosystem to reduce pollution loads in the water. This typically involves the assembly and fixation of the foam floating island structure. For example, patent number CN115893677A discloses a similar stable floating island structure designed to withstand conditions with large waves.

[0003] However, existing structures are typically designed to handle smaller waves and cannot provide adequate stability in more extreme weather conditions. This is especially true when multiple floating islands are placed in the same lake. While the islands themselves remain stable due to the waves, they are still prone to collisions with other islands. Furthermore, the stabilizing structures or devices used to move the islands in regular use are underutilized and are only used for temporary stability, resulting in poor versatility.

The connecting rod and the inclined plate are fixedly connected.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a control module is provided inside the fixing plate. The control module includes a control switch and a connecting wire.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a floating island device for aquatic ecological environment, including a float 1, which is composed of multiple rectangular block structures spliced ​​together, and a hollow floating tube for fixing is provided at the edge of the float 1. Inclined plates 101 are installed on the four sides of the float 1, and a support plate 102 is provided on the middle side of the inclined plate 101. The support plate 102 is cross-shaped, and a fixing column 2 is provided at the center. The fixing column 2 contains a power supply 201. A vertical telescopic rod 3 is installed on the inner side of the vertically arranged support plate 102, and a horizontal telescopic rod 301 is installed on the inner side of the horizontally arranged support plate 102. A cover plate 302 is installed on the top surface of the support plate 102.

[0028] A vertical telescopic rod 3 passes through the inclined plate 101 to the fixed plate 4 on the surface. A telescopic pad 401 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 4, and an adsorption plate 402 is installed on one side of the telescopic pad 401. A covering layer 403 is provided on the surface of the adsorption plate 402, and an electromagnet 404 is installed inside the covering layer 403. The vertical telescopic rod 3 passes through the fixed plate 4 and is connected to the adsorption plate 402. A horizontal telescopic rod 301 passes through the inclined plate 101 to the outside and is connected to the first hinge support 5. A drive motor 501 is installed at the bottom end of the first hinge support 5. The outer shell of the drive motor 501 has a funnel-shaped structure, and a transmission shaft is provided at the bottom end. A rotating blade 502 is provided at the bottom end of the transmission shaft. The rotating blade 502 is located on the side away from the float 1.

[0029] Furthermore, a second hinge support 503 is installed on the side of the drive motor 501 near the inclined plate 101. A connecting rod 504 is installed on one end of the second hinge support 503. The connecting rod 504 and the inclined plate 101 are fixedly connected. A ball catch 505 structure is provided on the bottom end of the transverse telescopic rod 301 near the first hinge support 5 for connecting with the base of the first hinge support 5.

[0030] A solar panel 202 is installed at the top of the fixed column 2. A partition 203 is provided inside the fixed column 2. A rotating motor 204 is provided at the edge of the partition 203. A power supply 201 is installed in the middle of the partition 203. The solar panel 202 is embedded in the top of the fixed column 2 and includes a voltage regulator.

[0031] The floats 1 are connected by plugging, the inclined plate 101 and the hollow float tube are fixedly connected, the edge of the fixed column 2 is provided with fixedly connected floats 1 along the rectangular tangent, and the interior of the fixed column 2 is hollow.

[0032] The fixed plate 4 is equipped with a control module, which includes a control switch and connecting wires. The connecting wires are connected to the connection socket on the surface of the electromagnet 404 through the middle of the telescopic pad 401. The control module extends the wires inside the bracket plate 102 to the inside of the fixed column 2 for connecting to the power supply 201.

[0033] The clamping plate, fixing post 2 and fixing plate 4 are all made of plastic, the inclined plate 101 and the covering layer 403 are made of foam, and the telescopic pad 401 is supported by a foldable layered air cushion material, with a through hole for the wire in the middle of each layer of air cushion.

[0034] The cover plate 302 is elongated and fixedly connected to the bracket plate 102 by stainless steel screws, and a rubber ring is provided on the inner edge of the cover plate 302.

[0035] The bottom of the support plate 102 is inclined, with the higher end located on one side of the inclined plate 101 and the lower end located on one side of the fixed column 2. The lower end of the support plate 102 extends through to the bottom of the partition 203 of the fixed column 2.

[0036] Specifically, the overall structure is based on a conventional float 1 and hollow pipe structure. In the middle of the float 1, a fixed column 2 with greater gravity is assembled, along with a support plate 102 structure that is installed in conjunction. The heavier materials can further increase the stability of the overall frame. Users mainly control the device through an external wireless device, via a Bluetooth module installed at the fixed column 2, using connecting wires or a drive motor 501.

[0037] In the event of large waves, the overall structure adjusts its direction based on the drive motor 501 and rotating blade 502 connected to the horizontal telescopic rod 301. The angle of the bottom transmission shaft is adjusted by the electric servo motor of the drive motor 501 itself. The rotation angle of the overall device is rotated by the drive motors 501 at both ends, and finally the vertical telescopic rods 3 between the multiple floats 1 correspond to each other front and back until the adsorption plates 402 contact each other. Then the vertical telescopic rods 3 extend a certain distance to push out the adsorption plates 402, increasing the contact distance between the multiple floating islands and unfolding the telescopic pads 401 to reduce the lateral impact on the connection. Then the control module at the fixing plate 4 starts the switch, energizing the electromagnet 404 inside the covering layer 403 to maintain magnetism, and adsorbing and fixing the floating islands to each other from the side. When the waves are too large and fixation is required, the floating islands at the outermost edge can be directly fixed and adsorbed to the dock or railing with metal surface or metal chain based on the adsorption plate 402 to form a fixed connection effect. This ensures that the floating islands form an integral whole while avoiding collisions due to excessive wind force.

[0038] When the sun's rays are too strong and the temperature is too high, because floating block 1 itself forms a soilless cultivation structure through the holes in the middle, if there are too few leaves growing or the plant leaves wither due to excessive sunlight, floating block 1 will not only absorb heat, but the sunlight will also come into direct contact with the roots, reducing the overall moisture of the plant. In severe cases, the plant may wither in patches, requiring watering of the leaves. Before the weather changes, the movement of other floating islands can be controlled in advance based on the sun's temperature. After moving to the floating island that needs watering, the lateral extension and retraction can be controlled. The rod 301 retracts backward until the rotating motor 204 rotates around the second hinge support 503. After being separated from the ball buckle 505, the rotating blade 502 can come to the vicinity of the water surface at an angle. Then the drive motor 501 drives the rotating blade 502 to rotate at high speed near the water surface. The splashed water will form droplets and be thrown tangentially along the direction of rotation. When it is necessary to adjust the position or angle, it can be pushed by the drive motor 501 on the other side and the rotating blade 502 underwater to change the position until it rotates around the floating island and sprays it once.

[0039] This method can be carried out on different floating islands. When necessary, different floating islands can spray water onto the leaf surface to ensure the moisture level of the plant leaf surface and reduce the temperature when exposed to the sun. When the sunlight is strong, the voltage of the solar panel 202 when receiving light will also increase, which can further increase the efficiency of energy storage, thereby providing power to the drive motor 501.

[0040] Its overall structure is simple, relying solely on the frame structure of fixed column 2, support plate 102 and cover plate 302 to form overall stability. Even if there is leakage or water seepage into the inner side of support plate 102, it can flow along the inclined base to the bottom side of partition plate 203 of fixed column 2 and flow out through the central hollow of the bottom floating block 1 structure. In the event of strong winds and waves, it can also be connected to each other through magnetic adsorption between floating islands. When fixation is required, it can be directly fixed to chains, metal plates or suspended anchors and metal railings set in advance on the shore. The inclined plate 101 is inclined inside to ensure the sunlight needs of the inner plants, and the right-angled structure on the outside makes it easier to transport and disassemble.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
