Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial reef technology, and in particular to a movable artificial reef. Background Technology

[0002] Due to environmental pollution and declining water quality in rivers flowing into the sea, the quality of seawater has deteriorated significantly, severely impacting nearshore aquaculture. People typically use artificial reefs and underwater forests to improve the marine environment.

[0003] Artificial reefs are man-made structures erected in the sea to provide habitats for marine life such as fish and shrimp to reproduce, grow, forage, and seek shelter. Underwater forests, on the other hand, involve placing suitable reefs in the sea to cultivate seaweed and corals. Currently, artificial reefs and seaweed / coral cultivation are not well integrated and are usually carried out separately. Although some artificial reefs are constructed with materials and shapes suitable for seaweed or coral growth, their fixed locations, mostly on the seabed, lack flexibility and have limited effectiveness in coral or seaweed reproduction.

[0004] Therefore, a movable artificial reef is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a movable artificial reef, including a reef base 1, the top of the reef base 1 being open, a groove 2 being provided on one side of the top of the reef base 1, a first planting plate 3 being slidably connected in the groove 2, a plurality of planting grooves 4 being provided on the top of the first planting plate 3, sliding holes 5 being provided on the side wall of the reef base 1 opposite to the groove 2, the first planting plate 3 being slidably connected to the sliding holes 5, and a positioning component being provided on the first planting plate 3 that is detachably connected to the reef base 1.

[0032] A second planting board 6 is provided above the first planting board 3. The second planting board 6 is used for the cultivation of coral algae with broken limbs. The second planting board 6 is detachably connected to the reef substrate 1 through multiple telescopic rod assemblies. A floating component is provided on the second planting board 6.

[0033] The artificial reef base 1 is a hollow cuboid with an opening at the top to facilitate the placement of the first planting board 3. The first planting board 3 is a transparent fiberglass plate with excellent light transmission. Planting corals or seaweed on the fiberglass plate can provide shade for the fish in the artificial reef base 1 while allowing some light transmission, which is in line with the fish's living habits and is more conducive to their growth. The planting trough 4 is detachably connected to a planting pot 35 via quick-release parts. The planting pot 35 is planted with corals or seaweed. The quick-release parts include a first hanging piece 36 fixed to the side wall of the planting trough 4 and a second hanging piece 37 fixed to the side wall of the planting pot 35. The second hanging piece 37 is snapped into the first hanging piece 36.

[0034] The second planting board 6 floats vertically through the floating components and multiple telescopic rod components, enabling the floating cultivation of coral and seaweed fragments, thus better avoiding the influence of predators such as crown-of-thorns starfish and sea urchins; the second planting board 6 is a PVC grid board, which facilitates the binding of coral fragments or seaweed rhizomes to allow them to continue to grow.

[0035] The artificial reef substrate 1 is placed on the seabed to provide a place for fish to hide from predators, grow, and reproduce. The planting trough 4 on the first planting board 3 is used for the transplantation of adult corals or seaweed, and the second planting board 6 is used for the cultivation of corals or seaweed with severed limbs. This forms a layered structure of upper, middle, and lower layers, increasing the space utilization of the reef and enhancing its ability to attract biological groups, which can effectively promote the rapid restoration of the ecosystem. In addition, the first planting board 3 provides shade for the artificial reef substrate 1, which is convenient for fish to be sheltered, while the artificial reef substrate 1 provides stable bottom support for the first planting board 3 and the second planting board 6, preventing the first planting board 3 and the second planting board 6 from swaying from side to side under the impact of seawater. This combines artificial reefs with the planting of corals / seaweed, which is more conducive to the restoration of marine ecosystems. Furthermore, the first planting board 3 and the second planting board 6 are detachably connected to the artificial reef substrate 1, making them easy to place and remove, and facilitating the planting of corals / seaweed.

[0036] The scheme is further optimized. The positioning component includes multiple positioning grooves 7 opened on the top of the first planting plate 3. When the first planting plate 3 passes through the sliding hole 5, the positioning groove 7 is located outside the reef base 1. A positioning plate 8 is slidably connected inside the positioning groove 7. A through groove 9 is opened below the positioning groove 7. The size of the through groove 9 is smaller than the size of the positioning groove 7. A first fork 10 is provided on the positioning plate 8. The bottom of the first fork 10 passes through the through groove 9 and is inserted into the seabed.

[0037] A rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the middle of the positioning plate 8. The rotating shaft 11 passes through the positioning plate 8. A clamping plate 12 is fixed on the rotating shaft 11. The clamping plate 12 is slidably connected to the through groove 9. The clamping plate 12 is located below the positioning plate 8. The distance between the clamping plate 12 and the positioning plate 8 is the same as the thickness of the through groove 9. A rectangular hole 13 is opened on the rotating shaft 11. The first fork 10 is slidably connected to the rectangular hole 13. The bottom of the first fork 10 is inserted into the seabed.

[0038] The two ends of the first fork 10 are respectively wrapped with limit posts 14. Multiple clearance grooves 15 are respectively opened on the side wall of the first planting plate 3. The multiple clearance grooves 15 are respectively set to correspond one-to-one with the multiple positioning grooves 7. The clearance grooves 15 are connected to the positioning grooves 7 and the through grooves 9. The first fork 10 is slidably connected to the clearance grooves 15.

[0039] The positioning groove 7 and the through groove 9 are rectangular grooves, and the bottom of the first planting plate 3 away from the positioning groove 7 is fixedly connected to a limit strip 38;

[0040] In use, the artificial reef substrate 1 is placed on the seabed. On land, transplanted corals or seaweed are planted in the planting trough 4 of the first planting board 3. The first planting board 3 is then manually brought to the seabed, passing through the groove 2 and the sliding hole 5, so that the positioning groove 7 extends beyond the artificial reef substrate 1, and the limiting strip 38 contacts the outer wall of the artificial reef substrate 1. The first fork 10 is slid into the positioning groove 7 and the through groove 9 through the clearance groove 15. At this time, the positioning plate 8 and the locking plate 12 are located above the positioning groove 7. Then, the rotating shaft 11 is moved downwards, so that... The card plate 12 passes through the through groove 9, allowing the positioning plate 8 to enter the positioning groove 7. At this time, the card plate 12 is located directly below the first planting plate 3 and in contact with the bottom of the first planting plate 3. Then, the first fork 10 is rotated, causing the rotating shaft 11 and the card plate 12 to rotate simultaneously, so that the card plate 12 is set at a 90-degree angle to the through groove 9, thereby making the card plate 12 abut against the bottom of the first planting plate 3. The limiting strip 38, the card plate 12 and the positioning plate 8 form a horizontal limit on the first planting plate 3, preventing the first planting plate 3 from drifting horizontally under the impact of water flow.

[0041] Then, the first fork 10 is pressed down, causing the top limiting post 14 to press against the rotating shaft 11. The bottom limiting post 14 and the first fork 10 are inserted into the seabed, applying pressure to the first planting plate 3. This increases the stability of the first planting plate 3 and the stability of the reef base 1, reducing the chance of the reef base 1 overturning.

[0042] Further optimization of the scheme: the second planting plate 6 is a grid plate; multiple first connecting plates 16 are detachably connected to the two outer side walls adjacent to the reef base 1 and the groove 2; the telescopic rod assembly is fixed to the second fork 17, which is fixed to the first connecting plate 16; the top of the second fork 17 is provided with a first sliding groove; a sliding rod 18 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove; the top of the sliding rod 18 is fixed to the second connecting plate 19; and the second connecting plate 19 is detachably connected to the second planting plate 6.

[0043] The first chute has an anti-detachment groove on its side wall, and the slide rod 18 has an anti-detachment block fixedly connected to its side wall. The anti-detachment block is slidably connected to the anti-detachment groove to prevent the slide rod 18 from sliding out of the first chute. The second fork 17 and the slide rod 18 can ensure that the second planting board 6 is always directly above the reef base 1. On the one hand, this provides a certain amount of shade for the reef base 1, and on the other hand, it ensures that the second planting board 6 does not move in a horizontal position, preventing the second planting board 6 from being washed away by seawater. At the same time, it can also ensure that the second planting board 6 floats in seawater at different depths.

[0044] The scheme is further optimized as follows: multiple first bolts 20 are threaded onto the first connecting plate 16; multiple first through holes 21 are opened on the side wall of the reef base 1; the first bolts 20 pass through the first through holes 21 and are locked by the first nuts 22; multiple second bolts 23 are threaded onto the second connecting plate 19; multiple second through holes 24 are opened on the second planting plate 6; the second bolts 23 pass through the second through holes 24 and are locked by the second nuts 25.

[0045] The first bolt 20 enables the telescopic rod to be detachably connected, and the second bolt 23 enables the second planting plate 6 to be detachable, facilitating planting and movement.

[0046] The first connecting plate 16 is a T-shaped support plate. During installation, the artificial reef base 1 is placed in the seabed, and then the vertical plate of the first connecting plate 16 is close to the outer wall of the artificial reef base 1. When the horizontal plate of the first connecting plate 16 is close to the top wall of the artificial reef base 1, the mounting hole on the first connecting plate 16 is flush with the first through hole 21. At this time, the bottom of the second fork 17 has been inserted into the seabed, thus achieving the initial positioning of the second fork 17. At this time, the second fork 17 can be installed without holding the second fork 17 by directly inserting the first bolt 20 through the first connecting plate 16 and the first through hole 21 and tightening it with the first nut 22.

[0047] After the second fork 17 is installed, the first planting plate 3 is then installed.

[0048] In a further optimized design, a conical base 30 is slidably fitted onto the outer side of the second fork 17. The large-diameter end of the conical base 30 faces downward. Multiple third forks 31 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical base 30. The third forks 31 are inserted into the seabed. A limiting block 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fork 17. The conical base 30 is located above the limiting block 32.

[0049] After the second fork 17 is installed, the conical base 30 is pressed down, causing the third fork 31 to insert into the seabed. This further improves the stability of the reef base 1 and the second planting board 6, and further reduces the chance of overturning. Since the conical base 30 is conical and has inclined curved side walls, the flow of seawater will drive the flow of bottom sediment. When the bottom sediment flows, it is easy to cover the conical base 30, thereby burying part of the conical base 30, increasing the contact area with the seabed, and improving stability.

[0050] The scheme is further optimized. The floating component includes multiple floating balls 26, which are symmetrically arranged around the second planting plate 6. Multiple first hanging rings 27 are fixed to the bottom of the floating balls 26, and multiple second hanging rings 28 are fixed to the second planting plate 6. A connecting rope 29 is tied between the first hanging rings 27 and the second hanging rings 28.

[0051] In a further optimized design, second grooves 33 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the reef substrate 1, and the two sides of the first planting plate 3 are slidably connected to the two second grooves 33 respectively.

[0052] To further optimize the design, several rows of fish-penetrating holes 34 are opened on the four side walls of the artificial reef base 1, with the fish-penetrating holes 34 decreasing in size from bottom to top. The fish-penetrating holes 34 are set in different sizes and shapes, such as polygons and circles, so as to allow fish of different sizes to gather near the artificial reef and provide habitats for fish of different sizes, thereby achieving the effect of attracting fish.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
