[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 The embodiments of the present invention include:
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This invention discloses a modular floating concrete structure for planting aquatic plants, comprising: a rectangular body 10 with dimensions of 400mm × 200mm × 200mm. The upper surface of the rectangular body 10 has two spaced-apart first tenons 11, and its lower surface has a first mortise 12 located directly below the first tenons 11, meaning the position and size of the first mortise 12 match the position and size of the first tenons 11; each first tenon 11 has a planting hole 111, which communicates with the first mortise 12.
[0027] The planting holes 111 are used to place planting substrate, such as coconut fiber, and to cultivate aquatic plants 20. The first tenons 11 are spaced 200mm apart, which is a reasonable layout that ensures that the roots of aquatic plants can fully develop and absorb nutrients from the water.
[0028] The rectangular body 10 has two second tenons 13 at its rear and two second mortises 14 at its front. Each second tenon 13 is coplanar with the first tenon 11 and the first mortises 12 on the same side, and the position and size of the second mortises 14 match the second tenons 13.
[0029] The rectangular body 10 has a third tenon 15 at the center of its right end face and a third mortise 16 at the center of its left end face. The position and size of the third mortise 16 match the third tenon 15.
[0030] Within the same modular floating concrete structure, the first mortise 12, the second mortise 14, and the third mortise 16 are interconnected to ensure that the floating bed formed by them is permeable to water and air.
[0031] The modular floating concrete structures are designed with first tenons 11 and first mortises 12, second tenons 13 and second mortises 14, and third tenons 15 and third mortises 16 that can be matched with each other, so as to assemble floating beds of different shapes and sizes to meet the needs of water areas of different shapes and sizes.
[0032] The aforementioned modular floating concrete structure comprises the following components by weight: 60-70 parts cement, 15-25 parts lightweight expanded clay aggregate, and 5-10 parts plant fiber, such as bamboo fiber and flax fiber. The use of lightweight concrete, combined with lightweight expanded clay aggregate as aggregate, ensures sufficient buoyancy and structural strength in the concrete blocks while significantly reducing material density, facilitating stable floating of the floating bed on the water surface. Furthermore, the use of plant fiber helps improve the toughness and durability of the concrete blocks, while ensuring the material's environmental friendliness and biodegradability.
[0033] Its preparation method is as follows:
[0034] Weigh out 65 parts of cement, 20 parts of lightweight expanded clay, and 10 parts of bamboo fiber, add an appropriate amount of water, stir and mix evenly, and then cast into a floating concrete block with the above structural features through a mold, and reserve a planting hole in the first tenon 11 on its upper surface.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] A single-layer floating bed was obtained by splicing the modular floating concrete structures from Example 1. Taking a size of 1200mm×1200mm as an example, this single-layer concrete floating bed is composed of 18 modular floating concrete structures spliced together.
[0037] The specific splicing method is as follows: the second tenon 13 and the second mortise 14 are spliced between adjacent modular floating concrete structures, and the third tenon 15 and the third mortise 16 are spliced.
[0038] The planting hole 111 of the first tenon 11 is filled with coconut fiber and planted with aquatic plants 20.
[0039] Single-layer floating beds are typically suitable for small aquatic plant cultivation areas.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] A multi-layer floating bed was obtained by splicing the modular floating concrete structure in Example 1. Taking a three-layer floating bed with a size of 1200mm×1200mm×600mm as an example.
[0042] The specific splicing method is as follows:
[0043] Within the same layer, the second tenon 13 and the second mortise 14 are spliced between adjacent modular floating concrete structures, and the third tenon 15 and the third mortise 16 are spliced to obtain three single-layer floating beds.
[0044] Between layers, from top to bottom, the first mortise 12 of the top layer floating bed is fitted and spliced with the first tenon 11 of the middle layer floating bed; the first mortise 12 of the middle layer floating bed is fitted and spliced with the first tenon 11 of the bottom layer floating bed, thus obtaining a three-layer floating bed structure.
[0045] Coconut fiber is filled into the planting hole 111 of the first tenon 11 at the top layer, and aquatic plants 20 are planted.
[0046] Multi-layered floating beds can form multi-layered systems, further increasing planting area and plant diversity.
[0047] The modular floating concrete structure and the planting substrate inside the planting hole of the present invention are both biodegradable materials with long service life, excellent anti-aging properties, and will not cause pollution in the natural environment.
[0048] The modular floating concrete structure of this invention has a strong anti-aging ability in aquatic environments and can remain stable for a long time.
[0049] The floating bed of the present invention is filled with natural plant substrates such as coconut fiber and aquatic plants in the planting holes, and can be directly used for ecological restoration or landscape construction after floating on the water surface.
[0050] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
