Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of submerged vegetation restoration technology, and in particular to a fixed-point supplemental lighting system for submerged vegetation restoration in river channels with self-cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] Submerged vegetation is an important component of aquatic ecosystems. In recent years, many water bodies have undergone restoration through the planting of submerged vegetation to rebuild underwater forests, aiming to achieve water self-purification and improve the aquatic ecological environment. Underwater light is a decisive factor for the survival and growth of submerged plants, directly restricting their photosynthesis and population maintenance. However, suspended particles, epiphytes, and the water column itself in the water body significantly attenuate light energy, often resulting in insufficient light intensity in the underwater light field. When the light intensity falls below the light compensation point, submerged plants cannot maintain carbon-oxygen balance, leading to plant decline and restoration failure. Therefore, insufficient underwater light field is a core obstacle to the successful restoration of submerged plants.
[0003] Artificial targeted supplemental lighting is expected to become a key technology for improving the restoration effect of submerged vegetation. Existing river supplemental lighting devices mostly use ordinary white light, which does not match the spectrum with the photosynthetic needs of submerged plants, resulting in low light energy utilization and high energy consumption. At the same time, underwater lights are submerged in river water for a long time, and their surfaces are prone to algae, scale and silt, which leads to a rapid decrease in light transmittance and a continuous decline in the supplemental lighting effect. This requires frequent manual cleaning and maintenance, which is risky, costly and difficult to operate.
[0004] In conclusion, it is essential to propose a targeted supplemental lighting system for the restoration of submerged vegetation in river channels that features spectral optimization, directional focusing, and automatic cleaning. Summary of the Invention

The red and blue LED beads are used to enhance the 660nm red light and 450nm blue light bands to match the photosynthetic needs of submerged plants and provide a continuous and smooth spectrum for plant photosynthesis and underwater visual observation.
[0009] The intelligent control core module includes an ESP32 main control unit, a communication interaction layer, an instruction driving layer, and an extended sensing layer.

[0011] The instruction driving layer includes a light source driving subunit, a waterproof motor driving subunit, and an RTC timing subunit; wherein: The light source driving subunit is used to provide constant current drive for the red and blue spectrum lamp panel and to regulate the light intensity and duration. The waterproof motor drive subunit is used to control the start, stop and operation of the waterproof motor. The RTC timing subunit is used for precise timing to complete the cycle planning of supplemental lighting and cleaning.
[0012] The extended sensing layer includes an I / O interface, an underwater light sensor, and a water temperature sensor; wherein: The I / O interface is used to connect the underwater light sensor and the water temperature sensor to external devices. The underwater light sensor is used to monitor real-time underwater light intensity; The water temperature sensor is used to collect river water temperature data.
[0013] This invention discloses a self-cleaning, targeted supplemental lighting system for the restoration of submerged vegetation in river channels. The waterproof outer shell provides outdoor waterproof protection, adapting to the harsh underwater environment of rivers and ensuring stable operation of internal components. The spectral optimization light source module outputs an optimized spectrum suitable for the photosynthesis of submerged plants, improving photosynthetic efficiency.
