Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of artificial fish reefs, in particular to a novel stable X-shaped hollow artificial fish reef. Background Art
[0002] Artificial reefs are artificial underwater structures built to attract and cultivate aquatic life such as fish. They are often used to restore or enhance marine biodiversity, increase fish stocks, improve fishery productivity, and provide diving and viewing attractions. Traditional artificial reef designs vary, including the use of abandoned ships, concrete blocks, metal structures, etc.
[0003] However, there are some problems with these traditional artificial reef designs. Existing artificial reefs, such as the Chinese invention patent "An Anti-overturning Artificial Reef", patent 202310184325.9, involve the field of artificial reefs, including stabilizing blocks and prismatic guide members, the guide member is a frame structure with two ends open, and an axial guide channel is formed inside, and a plurality of groups of drainage ports arranged at intervals are arranged in sequence on the circumferential side of the guide member, and a plurality of stabilizing blocks are connected to the bottom of the side of the guide member; spiral guide blades distributed along the axial direction are arranged in the guide channel to make the fluid form a spiral flow and output it to the outside of the guide member, in view of the problem that artificial reefs are prone to overturning due to the influence of the seabed flow field, a plurality of stabilizing blocks are installed circumferentially for the guide body of the frame structure, and the stabilizing blocks are used to expand the bottom range of the artificial reef, and the heavy structure is distributed on the periphery to improve stability, and a plurality of groups of drainage ports are arranged circumferentially from the guide member to balance the flow field effects in all directions, reduce the offset force of the artificial reef in the seabed flow field, and improve the anti-overturning ability of the artificial reef. However, due to the complex structure of the fish reef, the construction process is difficult and costly, and it is not suitable for mass deployment. For example, simple shapes and structures may cause the fish reef to be unstable on the seabed and easily washed away or tilted by the current, thus affecting its effectiveness. In addition, these designs may not have sufficient habitat diversity, limiting their appeal to different fish and other aquatic life. Summary of the invention

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] This embodiment provides a new stable X-shaped hollow artificial fish reef, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a cubic frame 1 and a fish reef supporting base 3;
[0023] The cubic frame 1 is fixed on the reef support base; a multi-layer X-shaped structure 2 is axially arranged inside the cubic frame 1; the X-shaped structure 2 is connected to the frame edge of the cubic frame 1, and the multi-layer X-shaped structure 2 is connected by a connecting column;
[0024] The fish reef support base 3 is provided with a plurality of pile bodies 31 arranged at intervals; the bottom of the fish reef support base 3 is provided with a plurality of bottom claws 32 arranged at intervals.
[0025] Specifically, the six sides of the cube frame are hollowed out, and a three-layer X-shaped structure is arranged inside. The X-shaped structure is hollowed out inside the frame. The first layer is connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the cube frame, and the middle layer is connected to the four corners of the middle layer of the cube frame. The cube frame connection points on the same side of the X-shaped structure are connected by connecting rods; the last layer is connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the cube, and the three layers of X-shaped structures are connected by a connecting column connecting the center of each layer of the X-shaped structure. Setting the X-shaped structure can make the reef more stable, so that the water flow forms a complex flow path inside the fish reef. When the water flow passes through these spaces, it will be blocked and guided by the X-shaped structure, causing the water flow to generate vortices and rotations, which will be hindered and slow down. The hollow space in the structure will distort and disperse the water flow. This increase in water fluidity helps to stir up the nutrients deposited at the bottom and distribute them more evenly in the water body. At the same time, the hollow structure increases the habitat diversity of the fish reef, providing more habitat and growth space for different types of fish and aquatic organisms. The internal X-shaped structure can also be used for organisms such as seaweed to attach.
[0026] There is a supporting base under the cube frame, and several piles on the top. The dense cement piles attached can provide a growth environment for marine organisms such as sea cucumbers. There are several bottom claws set at intervals at the bottom of the fish reef support base, which can make the artificial fish reef better stabilized on the seabed.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, staggered concave and convex points are provided on the border of the cubic frame 1 and the surface of the X-shaped structure 2 .
[0028] The surface of the X-shaped hollow structure is provided with staggered concave and convex points. The convex points on the surface use a circular structure and are made of rough cement, forming an alternating surface morphology. This design not only increases the roughness of the surface, which is conducive to the attachment of algae, but also enhances the stability and impact resistance of the surface. The concave and convex structure of the hemp surface is similar to the surface texture of hemp, showing a microscopic undulating state. This structure helps to increase the surface area, provide more attachment points and growth space, and provide an ideal growth environment for the attachment of algae.
[0029] In a specific embodiment, a circular ring lock buckle 4 is further included, and the circular ring lock buckle 4 is arranged at the center of the upper surface of the cubic frame 1.
[0030] The ring lock is set up. The ring structure made of corrosion-resistant metal can easily fix the fish reef to the seabed or other supports with ropes or chains. This design makes the placement and fixation of the fish reef more convenient and quick.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the material of the fish reef support base 3 is cement.
[0032] In this embodiment, the size of the cement base is 30*260*260cm. Using cement as the supporting base can increase the weight of the entire artificial fish reef and can better resist corrosion in water.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the cubic frame 1 and the X-shaped structure 2 skeleton are made of corrosion-resistant metal, and cement is poured outside the cubic frame 1 and the X-shaped structure 2 skeleton.
[0034] In this embodiment, the framework is composed of steel bars or basalt bars, the steel bars are welded to form a whole, and cement is poured outside the whole structure to increase the overall weight and improve the corrosion resistance.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, the bottom claw 32 is an inverted triangle structure.
[0036] In this embodiment, the height of the bottom claw is 10-20 cm, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the sea area. Setting an inverted triangle structure can better embed into the seabed mud and prevent the reef from moving due to wave impact.
[0037] In a specific embodiment, the positions of the piles 31 are randomly arranged.
[0038] The piles can be set up for sea cucumbers and other marine life to inhabit and move around, which better reflects the role of artificial reefs. The positions of the piles are set randomly, which can satisfy the needs of marine life of different types and sizes to inhabit and move around on the piles at the same time.
[0039] The use environment of the utility model is suitable for flat, hard and slightly convex reef sea areas with good transparency, suitable for sea areas with a water depth of less than 60 meters, can be stacked, the reef structure is complex and transparent, and it is easy for reef fish to inhabit. The use steps are as follows:
[0040] First, weld the upper part of the cube frame of the fish reef to the X-shaped structure, pour cement, and then connect it to the supporting base below. Set a circular lock buckle at the center of the upper surface of the cube frame, set the rope on the lock buckle, and release the fish reef. The terrain of the release sea area is flat, and the seabed is upright (the closed side faces up and down); there are raised reefs in the terrain, and the seabed is lying on its side. The distance between individual reefs is greater than 2 meters and less than 5 meters. The depth of the release sea area is less than 60 meters. The reefs are piled up, and the best effect is 30-40 reefs in a pile. The distance between reef piles is greater than 10 meters and less than 50 meters.
[0041] This design uses a stable X-shaped structure, which will produce an obstruction effect when water flows through, hindering the water flow. The hollow space in the structure will distort and disperse the water flow, reducing its speed; and it can effectively disperse the water flow, so that the water flow no longer flows in a single direction, but is diverted and reorganized between the hollow structures, thereby slowing down the overall water flow speed. It improves the stability of the fish reef on the seabed and reduces the impact of ocean currents and other external forces. The hollow structure increases the habitat diversity of the fish reef and provides more habitat and growth space for different types of fish and aquatic organisms. This design is expected to improve the efficiency and benefits of artificial fish reefs and promote the recovery and sustainable development of marine ecosystems.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
