Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of submerged plant planting equipment, and more specifically, relates to a submerged plant planting boat and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] Submerged plants are those whose roots are anchored in the soil at the bottom of the water column, while their leaves, stems, and other parts are completely or mostly submerged in the water. These plants play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems, providing oxygen, purifying water, and offering habitats and food sources for aquatic animals. With the increasing severity of global water pollution, eutrophication is widespread in lakes and rivers, leading to water quality deterioration. Therefore, the demand for ecological restoration using submerged plants is growing. Many countries and regions have adopted submerged plant restoration as an important means of improving water quality and restoring ecological balance.

[0003] A planting boat is a tool specifically designed for water operations, facilitating the rapid and efficient planting of submerged plants on vast bodies of water. It can carry a large number of submerged plants, tools, and personnel, allowing operations to be carried out directly in the target water area, reducing the inconvenience and time costs of traditional planting methods. In the prior art, Chinese Patent CN116062099A discloses a submerged plant net throwing planting boat, including a hull, a roller, a grass net, an inclined track, a conveying device, perforated rollers, a gantry, and a four-bar linkage. The roller is arranged on the hull, and the grass net is wound and stored on the roller. The conveying device is attached to and moves on the inclined track, the downstream section of which is connected to the lake bottom soil. The grass net is released from the roller, and upstream of the conveying device, an auxiliary tool grabs the seedlings planted on the seedling device and presses them into the grass net. The grass net, fully loaded with seedlings, passes through the inclined track and is thrown to the lake bottom by gravity. Several perforated rollers are connected to the stern of the boat, and the perforated rollers are softly connected. The gantry is installed at the stern of the boat and is equipped with pulleys for raising and lowering the inclined guide rail and rollers.

[0004] Chinese patent CN116062099A effectively reduces seedling drift rate, precisely controls planting spacing, achieves high planting efficiency, and is highly adaptable to terrain and water depth. Both the seedling planter and the grass net are made of natural biodegradable materials, allowing for natural underwater decomposition after planting without causing secondary pollution. However, it still does not solve some problems associated with large-scale planting using existing planting boats. For example, using grass nets to support seedlings requires a large area and is unsuitable for narrow or irregular waters, especially in areas with uneven bottoms, easily causing some seedlings to suspend in the air, affecting planting quality. Secondly, although multi-row planter sets using grass nets can achieve large-area planting and improve planting efficiency, and perforated rollers can effectively suppress seedling drift, they also lead to significant underwater ecological disturbance and sediment resuspension. Therefore, a mechanized planting equipment for submerged plants is urgently needed to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, the storage box is fixedly provided with a material discharge hole adapted to the planting basket on its lower surface away from the hull; a conveyor belt is fixedly provided inside the storage box so that the planting basket inside the storage box is transported to the material discharge hole and falls into the feeding tray.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding tray includes: a feeding support, a first drive motor, and a turntable; the feeding support is detachably fixed to the bottom of the storage box, and is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is fixedly provided with a semi-cylindrical groove adapted to the turntable, and the lower layer is provided with a carrying plate at one end of the semi-cylindrical groove.

3. The planting vessel according to claim 2, characterized in that, The driving component (6) includes: a second driving motor (61) and the belt (62); the second driving motor (61) is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support frame, and its output shaft extends above the support rod (52); the belt (62) is sleeved on the outside of the support rod (52) and slides around the outside of the support rod (52) under the drive of the second driving motor (61).

4. The planting vessel according to claim 3, characterized in that, The bottom end of the support rod (52) is provided with a conical stop (521); The driving component (6) includes a driving sleeve (63) and a traction rope (64). The driving sleeve (63) is sleeved on the outside of the support rod (52) and fixedly sleeved on the outside of the planting module (7). The traction rope (64) is connected to the output shaft of the second driving motor (61) and the driving sleeve (63) respectively, so that the driving sleeve (63) moves along the support rod (52).

5. The planting vessel according to claim 2, characterized in that, The control module includes: an electrical signal device (8), which is fixedly installed inside the support rod (52); two electrical signal devices (8) are installed on the end of the support rod (52) facing the feeding tray (4), and are respectively close to the upper end and the bottom end of the support rod (52).

6. The planting vessel according to claim 5, characterized in that, The storage box (3) is fixedly provided with a material discharge hole adapted to the planting basket (2) on the lower surface away from the hull (1); a conveyor belt is fixedly provided inside the storage box (3) so that the planting basket (2) in the storage box (3) is transported to the material discharge hole and falls into the feeding tray (4).

7. The planting vessel according to claim 1, characterized in that, The planting module body (71) is fixedly provided with a gathering tube (711) inside, and the gathering tube (711) surrounds the outside of the electromagnet (72), the steel needle (73) and the spring (74) inside the planting module body (71).

8. A method for operating a submerged plant planting vessel, implemented using the planting vessel as described in claim 6, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: Check the working status of the planting boat, and before the planting boat starts working, group multiple submerged plants together, wrap the planting soil and the roots of the submerged plants with non-woven fabric or other biodegradable materials, and then place them in the planting basket (2) for stable placement. S2: Place the planting basket (2) inside the hull (1) and the storage box (3). Once the planting boat arrives at the planting area, the planting operation can begin. S3: The planting basket (2) is sent into the groove of the turntable (43) by the conveyor belt in the storage box (3). The turntable (43) rotates and rotates the planting basket (2) to a suitable position. At this time, the planting module (7) is in the initial position. S4: After receiving the electrical signal from the electrical signal device (8), the electromagnet (72) is de-energized and the spring (74) pushes the steel needle (73) to receive the planting basket (2) in step S3. S5: The driving component (6) continues to drive the planting module (7) to move downward along the support rod (52) until the planting basket (2) enters the bottom mud of the planting area. At the same time, the electromagnet (72) receives an electrical signal and is energized to retract the steel needle (73), thus completing one submerged plant planting. Afterward, the planting module (7) moves upward along the support rod (52) under the drive of the driving component (6) until it returns to the initial position. S6: Repeat steps S3 to S5 until planting is completed in all planting areas.
