Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water ecological management, and in particular to a modularly spliced ​​ecological floating island. Background Art

[0002] Root plants are placed in water bodies for cultivation, which can play a role in treating water bodies from three aspects: physical, chemical and biological. Physically, the roots of plants can remove suspended particles and organic matter in sewage, and absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements in sewage, playing a role in treating eutrophication of water bodies. Chemically, near the roots of plants, many microorganisms grow and reproduce. Through the oxidation-reduction action of microorganisms, organic matter is decomposed into inorganic matter, and inorganic matter is reduced to organic matter, which can be absorbed and utilized by plants. Biologically, the mucus secreted by plant roots and the metabolites of microorganisms can cause the formation of new biological communities. In this process, a variety of bacteria and viruses will be digested and degraded, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying sewage.

[0003] Ecological floating islands are artificial ecosystems constructed by planting plants on the water surface using the principle of buoyancy. Common floating island structures include trellis-type ecological floating islands, which are built by building horizontal trellises on the water surface, fixing mud blocks on the trellises, and then planting plants in the mud blocks. They have the characteristics of large area and strong stability, but are not easy to float or sail. The purification area is relatively fixed, and water flow is required to drive the purification of water in the outer area. Secondly, there are also common unit-type floating islands with low construction costs, easy planting and placement, which have the characteristics of small area and light weight, but are easily affected by wind and water and float in the water. They have poor stability and are easy to capsize or run aground, causing the plants to break and cause secondary pollution.

More preferably, the first splicing block is inserted into the splicing groove for interference connection.

[0012] Preferably, a second splicing block extending outward is provided on the outer side of the edge of the control floating island, and the second splicing block matches the splicing groove; the second splicing block is embedded in the splicing groove to realize the splicing of the control floating island and the planting floating island.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Example

[0031] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a modular ecological floating island includes a plurality of planting floating islands 1 for planting plants and at least one control floating island 3 with a fixed navigation function.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the cross section of the planting floating island 1 is a regular octagon, including a first floating block 11 and a breeding soil layer 12. The first floating block 11 is a hollow octagonal columnar body, and an octagonal mounting groove with an open top is formed inside it. The bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a plurality of second air holes 112 running through from top to bottom. The eight edges of the first floating block 11 are respectively recessed inward to form splicing grooves 111. The longitudinal section of the splicing groove 111 is an "L" shape with an open top and outer side wall, and a wedge-shaped cross section. The inner diameter of the side of the splicing groove 11 close to the center of the planting floating island 1 is larger than the side away from the center of the planting floating island 1. Moreover, when the edges of each two planting floating islands 1 are aligned and close to each other, the splicing grooves 11 on the two are arranged correspondingly and connected to each other, forming a butterfly-shaped groove structure; by embedding a first splicing block 4 into two adjacent correspondingly arranged splicing grooves 111, the splicing of two planting floating islands 1 can be achieved.

[0033] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the cross section of the first splicing block 4 is a butterfly-like shape narrowing from both sides to the middle. The first splicing block 4 includes a splicing block body 41 and a "T"-shaped core column 42 arranged in the center of the splicing block body 41. The outer diameter of the "T"-shaped head of the core column 42 is larger and extends out of the top of the splicing block body 41, and the bottom surface of the head of the core column 42 is inwardly recessed to form a hand-grip groove 421. The first floating block 11 is made of foamed plastic with elasticity and low-density floating properties; the splicing block body 41 is also preferably made of a lightweight and low-density material; and the core column 42 can be preferably made of a material with a weight and density greater than that of the splicing block body 41, such as plastic, rubber, etc. When assembling the planting floating island 1, the first splicing block 4 can be inserted from top to bottom into the splicing grooves 111 of the two correspondingly arranged planting floating islands 1 by holding the head of the core column 42 and the hand-grip groove 421. Moreover, preferably, the first splicing block 4 is inserted into the splicing groove 11 by interference connection.

[0034] The installation groove of the first floating block 11 is filled with a breeding soil layer 12, and a plurality of hydroponic through holes 121 are provided in the breeding soil layer 12. The hydroponic through holes 121 are connected with part of the second air holes 112. Soil-cultured plants can be cultivated on the breeding soil layer 12, and soilless hydroponic plants can be planted in the hydroponic through holes 121. The roots of the plants can extend into the water body through the second air holes 121. Cultivating two or more plants is more conducive to the ecological diversity in the water system.

[0035] The bottom of the first floating block 11 of the planting floating island 1 is formed with a buffer block 113 extending downward and tilted toward the center direction of the first floating block 11 along its eight edges. The eight buffer blocks 113 are connected in sequence to form a hollow cylindrical shape with a trapezoidal longitudinal section, an octagonal cross section, and open top and bottom. Moreover, the outer surface of the buffer block 113 is wavy. The buffer block 113 makes the bottom of the planting floating island 1 form a shape similar to the bottom of a ship, which is conducive to buffering the impact of waves on the planting floating island 1 and improving its stability.

[0036] A plurality of planting floating islands 1 can be spliced ​​with each other, and after every four planting floating islands 1 are spliced ​​in a centrally symmetrical manner, a first air hole 2 with a quadrilateral cross section is formed in the middle of the four planting floating islands 1. The cross section of the control floating island 3 is a quadrilateral and matches the first air hole 2. The control floating island 3 is placed in the first air hole 2 and spliced ​​with the four planting floating islands 1 located outside the four sides thereof. The control floating island 3 can synchronously drive at least four planting floating islands 1 to navigate in a directional manner.

[0037] In actual applications, when multiple planting floating islands 1 are spliced ​​together to form multiple first air holes 2, not every first air hole 2 needs to be installed with a control floating island. The first air holes 2 without installing the control floating island 3 are beneficial to the ventilation of the planting floating islands 1 and can also buffer the impact of waves.

[0038] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the control floating island 3 includes a second floating block 31, which is a quadrilateral columnar body, and the outer sides of the four edges thereof are respectively provided with second splicing blocks 32 extending outward. The second splicing block 32 matches the splicing groove 111, and the control floating island 3 and the planting floating island 1 can be spliced ​​with each other by inserting the second splicing block 32 into the splicing groove 111.

[0039] The second floating block 32 is also made of low-density foamed plastic material that can float on the water surface. A counterweight block 34 is also arranged at the bottom of the second floating block 32 .

[0040] A power module, a navigation module 8 and a drive module are arranged on the second floating block 32. The power module is electrically connected to the navigation module 8 and the drive module respectively; the navigation module 8 and the drive module are signal-connected. The power module includes a solar panel 5 and a battery 6. The navigation module 8 is an integrated controller including a GPS positioning unit and a route planning unit. The drive module includes a motor 7 and a propeller propeller 9. Among them, the propeller propeller 9 is located below the second floating block 32 and extends into the water. A protective cover 33 for preventing plant roots from being drawn into the propeller propeller 9 is also sleeved on the periphery of the propeller propeller 9. The protective cover 33 is connected to the bottom surface of the second floating block 32, and a plurality of water holes are opened on the protective cover 33.

[0041] In actual application, water body monitors and signal sensors will be installed at fixed points in water systems such as ponds, and an integrated master control module will be set outside the water body. The water quality monitoring data of each point in the water body will be transmitted to the master control module, which will plan the location where the floating island needs to dock, the cruising route, and the docking time of each point, and send it to the navigation module 8 that controls the floating island. The navigation module 8 starts the motor 7 and the propeller 9 to sail to the designated location. Data updates and line adjustments are adjusted by the master control module, and new instructions are sent to the navigation module 8.
