Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a coral reef, in particular to a novel artificial coral reef. Background Art
[0002] Artificial coral reefs are base structures for planting corals. In the prior art, artificial coral reefs are mostly direct block structures with grooves on the surface for planting corals, but this structure is not conducive to fixation and has large resistance. It is easily overturned by wind and waves in extreme weather, has low stability, and is easily buried by sea sand, resulting in a reduced planting success rate. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a novel artificial coral reef.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is implemented according to the following technical scheme:
[0005] The utility model comprises a coral reef body and fixing steel bars, the coral reef body has an internal hollow structure, the side walls around the coral reef body are all provided with penetrating water holes, the bottom of the coral reef body is provided with a fixing hole, the lower end of the fixing steel bar passes through the fixing hole and is fixedly connected to the seabed surface, and a plurality of planting grooves are provided on the outer wall of the coral reef body.
[0006] Preferably, the coral reef body is a quadrangular pyramid structure. The plurality of planting grooves have different diameters. The diameters of the plurality of planting grooves include 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0008] The utility model is a novel artificial coral reef. Compared with the prior art, the surface of the reef of the utility model is provided with a plurality of water holes, has the characteristics of strong wind and wave resistance, not easy to roll over and displace, obvious fish gathering effect, etc., and achieves the effect of constructing an artificial reef to plant living corals, adsorb coral larvae, and the reef becomes a shelter for coral reef fish.

[0012] In the figure: coral reef body 1, water hole 2, fixing steel bar 3, fixing hole 4, planting groove 5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The schematic embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0014] like Figure 1-3 As shown: the utility model includes a coral reef body 1 and a fixing steel bar 3, the coral reef body 1 has an internal hollow structure, the side walls of the coral reef body 1 are all provided with penetrating water holes 2, the bottom of the coral reef body 1 is provided with a fixing hole 4, the lower end of the fixing steel bar 3 passes through the fixing hole 4 and is fixedly connected to the seabed, and a plurality of planting grooves 5 are provided on the outer wall of the coral reef body 1.
[0015] Preferably, the coral reef body 1 is a quadrangular pyramid structure. The plurality of planting grooves 5 have different diameters. The diameters of the plurality of planting grooves 5 include 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm.
[0016] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0017] The utility model is used for transplanting blocky corals, and the corals can be embedded into the planting grooves 5 on the surface of the coral reef body 1 to restore the marine ecology. The most important purpose of this design is to prevent overturning. It is suitable for situations where the ocean current is rapid and there is a lot of quicksand on the seabed. The four-sided pyramid structure itself has good stability and strong wind and wave resistance; the hollow and water holes 2 in the middle of the coral reef body 1 can increase the permeability of the coral reef body 1, which is conducive to the passage of ocean currents, reduces resistance to ocean currents, and is not easy to overturn. In addition, the coral reef body 1 has a certain height. For the bottom bed with a lot of quicksand, the corals are attached to a higher position and are not buried by sand.
[0018] In extreme weather, wind and waves have a greater impact on coral reefs. Therefore, the design adopts a four-sided pyramid-shaped artificial reef that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The artificial reef is used as the transplant substrate, and the coral seedlings are embedded in the planting groove 5 on the side of the reef. The utility model has a multi-dimensional spatial structure and is made of reinforced concrete materials. The coral reef body 1 adopts a hollow regular trapezoidal four-sided pyramid structure with an upper bottom width of 0.4m, a lower bottom width of 1m, and a height of 0.5m. Two horizontal water holes 2 are reserved on each side, with a total of 8 water holes. The surfaces of the four side surfaces are roughened to facilitate the attachment of corals. At the same time, 16 vertical circular grooves are reserved as planting grooves 5 for coral transplantation. Structural steel bars are set in the top plate, bottom plate and side walls of the coral reef body 1 to increase the strength of the reef. At the same time, an 80mm fixing hole 4 is left in the center of the bottom plate. After installation, it is fixed with a cross-inserted fixing steel bar 3.
[0019] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
