Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ecological lake island planting, and in particular relates to an water spinach planting and harvesting system based on an ecological floating island. Background Art

[0002] As an innovative means of water ecological restoration and beautification, ecological floating island technology has received widespread attention and application in recent years. By building a floating platform on the water surface and planting aquatic plants, the ecological floating island can not only effectively absorb nutrients in the water and reduce eutrophication of the water body, but also provide habitats and breeding places for aquatic organisms, promoting the balanced development of the water ecosystem. At the same time, the plants on the floating island can also increase the oxygen content of the water body, improve the water quality, and enhance the self-purification ability of the water body.

[0003] As a water-loving, fast-growing and nutritious aquatic vegetable, water spinach is very suitable for planting on ecological floating islands. It can not only further play the water purification function of ecological floating islands, but also provide more biomass for the aquatic ecosystem, while increasing the ornamental and economic value of floating islands. However, traditional water spinach planting and harvesting methods mainly rely on manual operations, which is particularly inconvenient on floating islands. The floating characteristics of floating islands make manual harvesting and sowing inefficient and costly, especially when planted on a large scale. This problem is particularly prominent.

[0004] In order to improve the efficiency of planting and harvesting water spinach on ecological floating islands and reduce labor costs, it is necessary to explore an automated and intelligent planting and harvesting equipment for use on ecological floating islands. However, most of the existing automated planting and harvesting equipment is designed for land crops and is difficult to apply directly to floating islands. Factors such as the buoyancy of floating islands, fluctuations in the water surface, and the growth characteristics of water spinach all put forward higher requirements on the stability and adaptability of the equipment. Therefore, the development of a device that can be applied to the ecological floating island environment to realize the automated planting and harvesting of water spinach has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
