Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coastal ecological restoration and marine aquaculture technology, specifically an artificial composite bioherm structure. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial reefs are man-made structures erected in the sea to improve the marine ecological environment, create a favorable habitat for marine life, and provide breeding, growth, foraging, and shelter for fish, oysters, and other marine organisms. This aims to protect fish growth and maintain the ecosystem. Artificial reef construction has been widely implemented both domestically and internationally for the restoration of nearshore marine habitats and fishing grounds, with positive results. Currently, commonly used materials for reef construction in my country include: scrapped fishing boats, rubber materials, stone, concrete, and shellfish. Considering factors such as feasibility, construction cost, durability, environmental friendliness, and ecological sustainability, concrete reef structures are currently the most commonly used.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned technologies often have the following drawbacks: there are many types of artificial reef materials, such as box-shaped, triangular, frustum-shaped, and frame-shaped reefs. Most reefs are designed for a specific function and have a relatively simple function, which limits their application in coastal ecological restoration and marine aquaculture.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides an artificial composite bioherm structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: The artificial composite bioherm structure of the present invention includes a base, the base being a trapezoidal frame structure with multiple frame columns inside, base columns fixedly connected to the surface of the base, a sleeve fixedly connected inside the base columns, a telescopic column slidably connected inside the sleeve, a fixing bolt threadedly connected to the surface of the telescopic column, the other end of the fixing bolt passing through the sleeve and the base column in a slidable connection, an upwelling reef fixedly connected above the base, multiple partitions fixedly connected to the surface of the upwelling reef, and several through holes opened on the surface of the partitions, and bird-standing stakes set above the upwelling reef;

[0007] During operation, the base adopts a trapezoidal frame beam-column structure, ensuring structural stability while maintaining good internal permeability. This allows for ample water exchange, providing nutrients for organisms attached to both the inside and outside of the reef, enriching fish food sources, and creating a slow-flowing zone. It also provides fish with space for foraging, shelter, and habitat. Baffles within the upwelling reef expand the oyster attachment area, maximizing the attraction of various marine fish and shrimp. Bird-standing stakes provide habitats for migratory birds to stop and forage. When the reef is situated on a silted shoreline, the extension length of the telescopic stakes can be adjusted using fixing bolts to increase the base height and prevent the reef from being buried. The frame base, combined with the upwelling reef and bird-standing stakes, forms a double- or triple-layered artificial composite biological reef structure, creating a multifunctional marine biological reef environment. This overcomes the limitations of ordinary biological reefs, which have limited functionality and environmental constraints. It not only has wider applicability but also organically combines double or triple layers to create a multifunctional marine habitat, forming a three-dimensional marine ecosystem integrating land, sea, and air.

[0008] Preferably, a fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the surface of the upwelling reef, and a lifting shaft is slidably connected inside the fixed shaft. A floating plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the lifting shaft, and a bird-standing stake is fixedly connected to the surface of the floating plate. During operation, due to the design of the floating plate, the bird-standing stake will float up with the floating plate when the sea level rises, so that the bird-standing stake is always above the horizontal plane, which is convenient for birds to perch.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed shaft, and a groove is opened on the surface of the lifting shaft. Several grooves are provided and are evenly distributed. During operation, when the sea level rises, the bird-standing stake will not float up immediately, but will rise slowly under the restriction of the rubber ring, so that the bird-standing stake is submerged in seawater. This allows the bird droppings on the surface of the bird-standing stake to be washed off by the seawater, avoiding excessive corrosion of the bird-standing stake. At the same time, the bird droppings are detached, and the nutrients in the bird droppings serve as nutrients to feed the fish.

[0010] Preferably, the float is hollow and has a scraper ring slidably connected to its surface. A buoy is fixedly connected to the surface of the scraper ring, and the scraper ring has a chamfer. The float and the buoy are filled with seawater and are located below the sea level. During operation, when the bird-standing stake is submerged at sea level, the buoy rises due to the buoyancy of the seawater, which simultaneously drives the scraper ring to further clean the surface of the bird-standing stake, preventing dried bird droppings on the surface of the bird-standing stake from being difficult to remove by soaking.

[0011] Preferably, the rubber ring is hollow and has a circular arc surface with a cross-section that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. During operation, as the sea level drops, the bird-standing stake also descends under the influence of gravity. The groove will squeeze the hollow rubber ring, causing it to deform. Because the rubber ring is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, the float receives less resistance during descent, resulting in a faster descent speed. This prevents the float from being exposed above the sea level for a long time, which would cause excessive bird droppings to adhere to the surface of the float, leading to excessive corrosion and affecting its service life.

[0012] The lifting shaft has a rectangular cross-section, and multiple bird-standing stakes of varying lengths are provided. During operation, the lifting shaft is designed in a rectangular shape to prevent the rotating rod from being generated while the lifting shaft slides up and down, which would cause the slot to disengage from the rubber ring and reduce its limiting effect.

[0013] Preferably, the two frame columns fixedly connected to the outer side of the base are designed to be parallel to each other and are divided into a main rod and a secondary rod. The secondary rod has a cavity, and a central shaft is fixedly connected in the cavity. A through groove is formed in the side wall of the cavity. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the surface of the central shaft through a torsion spring. A baffle is wound on the surface of the rotating shaft. The other end of the baffle slides through the through groove and is fixedly connected to a locking plate. The locking plate is "L" shaped. A slot is formed on the surface of the main rod. The baffle is made of elastic material, the locking plate is made of magnetic material, and a magnetic block is provided in the slot.

[0014] During operation, when the reef is positioned on the eroded shoreline, the locking plate is pulled away from the auxiliary rod, which simultaneously extends the baffle plate and locks the locking plate into the slot. This expands the cross-sectional dimensions of the base frame column, reducing the permeability and effectively preventing shoreline erosion, stabilizing the sand and foundation, and maintaining the stability of the coastline. The "L"-shaped locking plate, in conjunction with the magnetic block, ensures that the baffle plate will not fall off under the erosion of seawater.

[0015] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected inside the through groove. The scraper is arc-shaped, and the end away from the through groove is attached to the baffle. During operation, the arc-shaped scraper can clean the surface of the baffle when it is retracted. At the same time, by attaching to the surface of the baffle, it can also act as a shield to prevent mud and sand in the seawater from entering the cavity, causing accumulation and affecting the baffle's recovery.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. The artificial composite reef structure described in this invention combines a frame-type base with an upwelling reef and bird-standing stakes to form a two- or three-layer artificial composite reef structure, creating a multifunctional marine reef environment. This overcomes the problems of ordinary reefs having limited functionality and environment. It not only has wider applicability, but also the organic combination of two- or three-layer structures creates a multifunctional marine habitat, forming a three-in-one marine ecosystem integrating land, sea, and air.

[0018] 2. The artificial composite reef structure of the present invention, by pulling the card plate away from the auxiliary rod, simultaneously causing the baffle to extend and lock the card plate in the card slot, and simultaneously causing the baffle to unfold, can expand the cross-sectional size of the base frame column, thereby reducing the permeability, effectively preventing the erosion of the beach, stabilizing the sand and consolidating the foundation, and maintaining the stability of the coastline.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, an artificial composite bioherm structure includes a base 1, which is a trapezoidal frame structure with multiple frame columns 2 inside. A base column 101 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, and a sleeve 7 is fixedly connected inside the base column 101. A telescopic column 6 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 7, and a fixing bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the surface of the telescopic column 6. The other end of the fixing bolt 8 passes through the sleeve 7 and the base column 101 and is slidably connected. An upwelling reef 3 is fixedly connected above the base 1. Multiple partitions 102 are fixedly connected to the surface of the upwelling reef 3, and several through holes are opened on the surface of the partitions 102. Bird-standing stakes 5 are set above the upwelling reef 3.

[0030] During operation, the base 1 adopts a trapezoidal frame beam-column structure, ensuring structural stability while maintaining good internal permeability. This allows for ample water exchange, providing nutrients for organisms attached to both the inside and outside of the reef, enriching fish food sources. It also creates a slow-flowing zone, providing fish with space for foraging, shelter, and resting. The baffles 102 within the upwelling reef 3 expand the oyster attachment area, maximizing the attraction of various marine fish and shrimp. The bird-standing stakes 5 provide a resting place for migratory birds to stop and forage. When the reef... When placed on a silted shoreline, the length of the telescopic column 6 can be adjusted by fixing bolt 8, thereby increasing the height of the base 1 and ensuring that the reef is not buried. The frame-type base 1, together with the upwelling reef 3 and bird-standing piles 5, forms a double- or triple-layer artificial composite biological reef structure, creating a multifunctional marine biological reef environment. This overcomes the problems of the single function and limited environment of ordinary biological reefs. It not only has a wider range of applicability, but also the double- or triple-layer structure is organically combined to create a multifunctional marine habitat and form a three-in-one marine ecosystem integrating sea, land and air.

[0031] A fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the upwelling reef 3. A lifting shaft 9 is slidably connected inside the fixed shaft 10. A floating plate 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lifting shaft 9. A bird-standing stake 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the floating plate 4. During operation, due to the design of the floating plate 4, the bird-standing stake 5 will float up with the floating plate 4 when the sea level rises, so that the bird-standing stake 5 is always above the horizontal plane, which is convenient for birds to perch.

[0032] A rubber ring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed shaft 10. The surface of the lifting shaft 9 is provided with a number of slots 13, which are evenly distributed. During operation, when the sea level rises, the bird-standing stake 5 will not float up immediately, but will rise slowly under the restriction of the rubber ring 14, so that the bird-standing stake 5 is submerged in seawater. This allows the bird droppings on the surface of the bird-standing stake 5 to fall off after being washed by the seawater, preventing the bird-standing stake 5 from being excessively corroded. At the same time, the bird droppings are removed, and the nutrients in the bird droppings serve as nutrients to feed fish.

[0033] The float 4 is hollow and has a scraper ring 12 slidably connected to its surface. A float ball 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the scraper ring 12. The scraper ring 12 has a chamfer. The float 4 and the float ball 11 are filled with seawater and are located below the sea level. When the bird-standing stake 5 is submerged at the sea level, the float ball 11 rises due to the buoyancy of the seawater, which in turn drives the scraper ring 12 to further clean the surface of the bird-standing stake 5, so as to prevent the bird droppings that have dried on the surface of the bird-standing stake 5 from being difficult to soak and remove.

[0034] The rubber ring 14 is hollow and has a rounded surface with a cross-section that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. During operation, as the sea level drops, the bird-standing stake 5 also descends under the influence of gravity. The groove 13 will squeeze the hollow rubber ring 14, causing the rubber ring 14 to deform. Because the rubber ring 14 is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, the float 4 experiences less resistance when descending, resulting in a faster descent speed. This prevents the float 4 from being exposed above the sea level for a long time, which would cause excessive bird droppings to adhere to the surface of the float 4, leading to excessive corrosion and affecting its service life.

[0035] The cross-section of the lifting shaft 9 is rectangular, and there are multiple bird-standing stakes 5 of varying lengths. During operation, the lifting shaft 9 is designed in a rectangular shape to prevent the rotating rod from being generated while the lifting shaft 9 slides up and down, which would cause the slot 13 to disengage from the rubber ring 14 and reduce its limiting effect.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown in the comparative embodiment one, another embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the two frame columns 2 fixedly connected to the outer side of the base 1 are designed to be parallel to each other, and are divided into a main rod 201 and a secondary rod 202. A cavity 19 is opened in the secondary rod 202, and a central shaft 18 is fixedly connected in the cavity 19. A through groove 22 is opened in the side wall of the cavity 19. A rotating shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the surface of the central shaft 18 through a torsion spring. A baffle 16 is wound on the surface of the rotating shaft 20. The other end of the baffle 16 slides through the through groove 22 and is fixedly connected to a retaining plate 15. The retaining plate 15 is "L" shaped. The main rod 201 has a slot 21 on its surface. The baffle 16 is made of elastic material, and the card plate 15 is made of magnetic material. A magnetic block is installed in the slot 21. During operation, when the reef is placed on the eroded shoreline, the card plate 15 is pulled away from the auxiliary rod 202, which simultaneously causes the baffle 16 to extend and be locked in the slot 21. At the same time, the baffle 16 is unfolded, which can expand the cross-sectional size of the frame column 2 of the base 1 to reduce the permeability, effectively prevent the erosion of the beach, stabilize the sand and solidify the foundation, and maintain the stability of the coastline. The "L"-shaped card plate 15, together with the magnetic block, can ensure that the baffle 16 will not fall off under the erosion of seawater.

[0038] A scraper 17 is fixedly connected inside the through groove 22. The scraper 17 is arc-shaped, and the end away from the through groove 22 is attached to the baffle 16. During operation, the arc-shaped scraper 17 can clean the surface of the baffle 16 when it is retracted. At the same time, by attaching to the surface of the baffle 16, it can also act as a shield to prevent mud and sand in the seawater from entering the cavity 19 and causing accumulation, which would affect the recovery of the baffle 16.

[0039] Working principle: The base 1 adopts a trapezoidal frame beam-column structure, ensuring its own structural stability while maintaining good internal permeability. This allows for sufficient water exchange within the base, enabling both internal and external organisms to obtain nutrients, enriching fish food sources. It also creates a certain area of ​​slow current, providing fish with space for foraging, shelter, and resting. The baffles 102 within the upwelling reef 3 expand the oyster attachment area, maximizing the attraction of various marine fish and shrimp. The bird-standing stakes 5 provide a resting place for migratory birds to stop and forage. When the reef... When the body is placed on the silted shoreline, the length of the extension column 6 can be adjusted by fixing bolt 8, thereby increasing the height of the base 1 and ensuring that the reef is not buried. The frame base 1, together with the upwelling reef 3 and the bird-standing pile 5, is combined to form a double or triple artificial composite biological reef structure, creating a multifunctional marine biological reef environment. This overcomes the problems of the single function and limited environment of ordinary biological reefs. It not only has a wider range of applicability, but also the double or triple structure is organically combined to create a multifunctional marine habitat and form a three-in-one marine ecosystem of land, sea and air.

[0040] When the sea level rises, the bird-standing stake 5 will not float immediately, but will rise slowly under the restriction of the rubber ring 14, allowing the bird-standing stake 5 to be submerged in seawater. This allows the bird droppings on the surface of the bird-standing stake 5 to be washed away by the seawater, preventing excessive corrosion of the bird-standing stake 5. At the same time, the bird droppings will detach, and the nutrients in the bird droppings will serve as nutrients to feed fish. When the sea level submerges the bird-standing stake 5, the float 11 will rise due to the buoyancy of the seawater, and at the same time, it will drive the scraper ring 12 to further clean the surface of the bird-standing stake 5, preventing dried bird droppings on the surface of the bird-standing stake 5 from being difficult to remove by soaking. When the sea level drops, the bird-standing stake 5 will descend due to gravity. The groove 13 will squeeze the hollow rubber ring 14, causing the rubber ring 14 to deform. Because the rubber ring 14 is designed to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the float 4 will receive less resistance when descending, and thus descend faster. This will prevent the float 4 from being exposed above the sea level for a long time, which would cause excessive bird droppings to adhere to the surface of the float 4, resulting in excessive corrosion and affecting its service life.

[0041] When the reef is positioned on the eroded shoreline, the locking plate 15 is pulled away from the auxiliary rod 202, which simultaneously causes the baffle plate 16 to extend and lock the locking plate 15 into the locking groove 21. At the same time, the baffle plate 16 unfolds, which can expand the cross-sectional size of the frame column 2 of the base 1 to reduce the permeability, effectively prevent the erosion of the beach, stabilize the sand and solidify the foundation, and maintain the stability of the coastline. The "L"-shaped locking plate 15, together with the magnetic block, can ensure that the baffle plate 16 will not fall off under the erosion of seawater. The arc-shaped scraper 17 can clean the surface of the baffle plate 16 when it is retracted. At the same time, by adhering to the surface of the baffle plate 16, it can play a shielding role to prevent the mud and sand in the seawater from entering the cavity 19, causing accumulation and affecting the recovery of the baffle plate 16.
