Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquatic ecological plant restoration, specifically to a submerged plant planting vessel and planting method. Background Technology
[0002] In water environment management and the reconstruction of river and lake aquatic ecosystems, submerged plants are the foundation for the survival of organisms in rivers and lakes and play an important role in removing water pollutants and achieving water self-purification. Therefore, increasing the coverage of submerged plants is the key to restoring river and lake ecosystems.
[0003] Currently, submerged plant cultivation primarily employs either the fork-planting method or the throwing method. The fork-planting method involves using a forked bamboo pole to hold the plant stem and then submerging it in the water. This method easily damages the plant stem and causes significant disturbance, potentially leading to sediment covering the leaves and affecting the plant's survival rate. The throwing method involves directly throwing the submerged plant into the water and waiting for it to sink naturally. However, because the plant's movement in the water is uncontrollable, this results in uneven planting density, failing to meet design requirements. Furthermore, both methods require manual labor, leading to low overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a submerged plant planting boat and planting method. This invention has a high survival rate, guaranteed planting density, and high work efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:
[0006] A submerged plant cultivation vessel has a storage box (2) on its hull (1) for storing planting bowls (4), which are used to carry packaged submerged plants. A conveying channel (21) capable of accommodating only a single planting bowl (4) is installed at the stern of the hull (1). The inlet of the conveying channel (21) is connected to the bottom of the storage box (2), the outlet is located outside the hull (1) and open downwards, and a gate (22) in the middle is provided for controlling the passage of a single planting bowl (4). A planting device (3) for carrying the planting bowl (4) into the mud is provided at the outlet of the conveying channel (21). The planting device (3) contains... Includes a planting arm (31) extending downward below the water level, a support module (32) that can rise and fall along the planting arm (31), and a baffle (33) that can open and close the outlet end of the conveying channel (21). The support module (32) is installed on the planting arm (31) via a transmission belt or transmission chain, and its drive motor is installed on the upper end of the planting arm (31). The support module (32) includes a support rod (321) and a limiting block (322). After the support rod (321) swings downward, it can automatically return to a horizontal state and be limited by the limiting block (322). When the support rod (321) returns to its original position and contacts the limiting block (322), a control command is triggered.
[0007] Preferably, the submerged plants are wrapped in non-woven fabric or biodegradable materials.
[0008] Preferably, the upper part of the planting bowl (4) is a receiving bowl and the lower part is a mud nail (42). The receiving bowl is provided with a barb (41) for fixing the submerged plant. The mud nail (42) has a protrusion in the middle, which is used to be pressed down by the pole (321) during planting.
[0009] Preferably, the protrusion includes diagonal braces distributed around the mud nail (42) and a ring connected to the top of all the diagonal braces.
[0010] Preferably, the gate (22) adopts a pull-in structure.
[0011] Preferably, the baffle (33) adopts a flip-type structure.
[0012] Preferably, the support pole (321) is automatically reset by a torsion spring.
[0013] A method for planting submerged plants involves using the aforementioned submerged plant planting boat. First, several submerged plants are grouped together according to their size and placed in planting bowls (4). Then, the planting bowls (4) are arranged in a storage box (2). Planting operations commence once the planting boat reaches the planting area: the gate (22) opens and closes after a single planting bowl (4) passes through. The planting bowl (4) falls along the conveyor channel (21), first striking the support rod (321) to cause it to swing downwards, and then landing on the baffle (33). When the support rod (321) resets and contacts the limit block (322), a control command is triggered, causing the baffle (33) to first open the outlet end of the conveyor channel (21), and simultaneously... The rod module (32) descends along the planting arm (31), the connecting rod (321) presses down on the planting bowl (4) and moves it downward. Then the baffle (33) resets, and the connecting rod (321) continues to press down on the planting bowl (4) until the planting bowl (4) is inserted into the mud at the specified depth. Then the connecting rod module (32) rises along the planting arm (31). When it passes the baffle (33), the connecting rod (321) is hit and swings downward. When the connecting rod (321) resets and contacts the limit block (322), a control command is triggered, which triggers the gate (22) to open and pass through a single planting bowl (4). Then the next planting bowl (4) is planted. This continues until all planting bowls (4) in the storage box (2) are planted.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0015] The present invention uses a planting bowl (4) as a container for carrying submerged plants, which can protect the submerged plants during the planting process and will not damage the plant stems. Furthermore, the planting bowl (4) is inserted into the mud, which effectively reduces the phenomenon of seedling floating, minimizes disturbance, and prevents silt from floating up and covering the submerged plants, resulting in a high survival rate. The planting device (3) of the present invention can carry the planting bowl (4) into the mud one by one, ensuring the planting density and high working efficiency. It has a small underwater operating volume and can adapt to narrow or irregular waters. Attached Figure Description

[0022] A submerged plant cultivation vessel includes a storage box 2 on the hull 1 for storing planting bowls 4, which are used to carry packaged submerged plants. A conveying channel 21, capable of accommodating only a single planting bowl 4, is installed at the stern of the hull 1. The inlet of the conveying channel 21 is connected to the bottom of the storage box 2, the outlet is located outside the hull 1 and opens downwards, and a gate 22 in the middle controls the passage of a single planting bowl 4. A planting device 3, for carrying the planting bowl 4 and inserting it into the mud, is provided at the outlet of the conveying channel 21. The planting device 3 includes... The planting arm 31 extends downward below the water level line, the support pole module 32 can be raised and lowered along the planting arm 31, and the baffle 33 can open and close the outlet end of the conveying channel 21. The support pole module 32 is installed on the planting arm 31 via a transmission belt or transmission chain, and its drive motor is installed on the upper end of the planting arm 31. The support pole module 32 includes a support pole 321 and a limiting block 322. After the support pole 321 swings downward, it can automatically return to a horizontal state and be limited by the limiting block 322. When the support pole 321 returns to its original position and contacts the limiting block 322, a control command is triggered.
[0023] During work:
[0024] First, according to the size of the submerged plants, several plants are grouped together, wrapped, and placed in planting bowls 4. Then, the planting bowls 4 are arranged in storage box 2. After the planting boat arrives at the planting area, the planting operation begins: the gate 22 opens and closes after a single planting bowl 4 passes through. The planting bowl 4 falls along the conveyor channel 21, first hitting the support rod 321 to make it swing downwards, and then landing on the baffle 33. When the support rod 321 resets and contacts the limit block 322, a control command is triggered, causing the baffle 33 to open the outlet end of the conveyor channel 21 first, while the support rod module 32 moves along... The planting arm 31 descends, the support rod 321 presses down on the planting bowl 4 and moves it downwards. Then the baffle 33 resets, and the support rod 321 continues to press down on the planting bowl 4 until the planting bowl 4 is inserted into the mud. Then the support rod module 32 rises along the planting arm 31. When it passes the baffle 33, the support rod 321 is hit and swings downwards. When the support rod 321 resets and contacts the limit block 322, a control command is triggered, which triggers the gate 22 to open and allow the single planting bowl 4 to pass through. Then the next planting bowl 4 is planted, and so on, until all the planting bowls 4 in the storage box 2 are planted.
[0025] This invention uses planting bowls 4 as containers to carry submerged plants, which can protect the submerged plants during the planting process without damaging the plant stems. Furthermore, the planting bowls 4 are inserted into the mud, which effectively reduces seedling floating, minimizes disturbance, and prevents silt from rising and covering the submerged plants, resulting in a high survival rate. The planting device 3 of this invention can carry planting bowls 4 one by one and insert them into the mud, ensuring planting density and high working efficiency. It has a small underwater operating volume and can adapt to narrow or irregular waters.
[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the submerged plants can be wrapped in non-woven fabric or biodegradable materials.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the upper part of the planting bowl 4 is a receiving bowl, and the lower part is a mud nail 42. The receiving bowl is provided with barbs 41 for fixing the submerged plant being wrapped. The mud nail 42 has a protrusion in the middle, which is used to be pressed down by the support pole 321 during planting. The protrusion includes diagonal braces distributed around the mud nail 42 and a ring connected to the top of all the diagonal braces.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the gate 22 adopts a pull-in structure, the baffle 33 adopts a flip-up structure, and the connecting rod 321 is automatically reset by a torsion spring.
