Specific embodiments

[0019] To better understand the technical content of the present utility model, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] See Figures 1 to 3 , an artificial reef for Eucheuma repair provided by the present utility model includes a base 1, a support frame 2, a cross-shaped frame 3, a mesh 4 and a jacking mechanism. The top surface of the base 1 is open, and its side wall is provided with a through passage 5. The support frame 2 is arranged inside the base 1. The cross-shaped frame 3 is arranged inside the base 1, and its bottom surface is in contact with the top surface of the support frame 2. The mesh 4 is arranged in the cavity of the cross-shaped frame 3. The jacking mechanism includes an electric push rod 6, a normally open button 7, a metal block 8, a spring 9, an electromagnet 10 and a battery pack 11. The support frame 2 is provided with a through hole 12. The bottom surface of the cross-shaped frame 3 is provided with a groove 13, and its side wall is provided with a storage groove 14. The inner side wall of the base 1 is provided with a limit groove 15, and the limit groove 15 is located on one side of the storage groove 14. The groove 13 is located above the through hole 12. The electric push rod 6 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the base 1, and the through hole 12 is located on the extension path of the output shaft of the electric push rod 6. The normally open button 7 is arranged in the groove 13. The metal block 8 is arranged in the storage groove 14. The spring 9 connects the side wall of the storage groove 14 and the side wall of the metal block 8. The battery pack 11 and the electromagnet 10 are arranged inside the side wall of the cross-shaped frame 3. The electromagnet 10 is located on one side of the storage groove 14. The battery pack 11, the electromagnet 10 and the normally open button 7 form a circuit.

[0021] Inside the base 1, a support frame 2 is provided. The support frame 2 is in the shape of a "square". The cross-shaped frame 3 can be installed inside the base 1 and is supported by the support frame 2. In the four cavities of the cross-shaped frame 3, a mesh 4 is provided. The Eucheuma can be tied to the mesh 4, and then the entire base 1 and the cross-shaped frame 3 are placed into the ocean. The Eucheuma can grow in the ocean environment. At the same time, through holes 5 are provided on the four sides of the base 1, and seawater can flow inside the base 1 and come into contact with the Eucheuma, providing more dissolved oxygen and nutrients for the Eucheuma, and at the same time, taking away the waste generated by the metabolism of the Eucheuma, reducing the accumulation of harmful substances, keeping the water quality clean, and preventing the occurrence of diseases.

[0022] When tying the Eucheuma, the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 provided inside the base 1 can be driven to extend upward, pass through the through hole 12, and then align the groove 13 of the cross-shaped frame 3 with the electric push rod 6. The output shaft of the electric push rod 6 extends into the groove 13 to support the cross-shaped frame 3. At this time, the Eucheuma can be tied to the mesh 4, which is convenient for adjusting the tying position of the Eucheuma according to the size of the base 1. After the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 extends into the groove 13, it will contact the normally open button 7 inside the groove 13, causing the normally open button 7 to trigger and become in a closed state. At this time, the electric energy of the battery pack 11 can be transmitted to the electromagnet 10, and the electromagnet 10 magnetically attracts the metal block 8, making the metal block 8 completely located in the receiving groove 14. At this time, control the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 to retract, and the cross-shaped frame 3 will descend synchronously. Finally, the cross-shaped frame 3 will contact the top surface of the support frame 2, and the electric push rod 6 will leave the groove 13, causing the normally open button 7 to return to the open state. At this time, the electromagnet 10 loses electric energy, and the metal block 8 can pop out into the limiting groove 15 under the action of the spring 9 to fix the cross-shaped frame 3, ensuring the stable connection between the base 1 and the cross-shaped frame 3 when the base 1 is put into the ocean.

[0023] During the cultivation process, if it is necessary to inspect, prune, and manage pests and diseases of the Eucheuma, the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 can be driven to rise into the groove 13. After the normally open button 7 is triggered and becomes in a closed state, the metal block 8 can retract into the receiving groove 14. As the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 continuously extends, the cross-shaped frame 3 will continuously rise and move above the base 1, which is convenient for the staff to maintain and manage the Eucheuma and ensure the normal growth of the Eucheuma.

[0024] Preferably, it further includes a depth adjustment mechanism. The depth adjustment mechanism includes an airbag 16, and the airbag 16 is provided on the outer side wall of the base 1.

[0025] The provided airbag 16 can be used to adjust the buoyancy of the entire artificial reef. By adjusting the amount of air in the airbag 16, the depth of the artificial reef can be adjusted.

[0026] Preferably, the depth adjustment mechanism further includes an adjustment box 17, a submersible pump 18, a water inlet pipe 19, a water outlet pipe 20, and a valve 21. The adjustment box 17 is arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1. The submersible pump 18 is arranged on the inner top surface of the adjustment box 17. The water outlet pipe 20 is arranged on the side wall of the adjustment box 17 and extends into the adjustment box 17 to be connected with the submersible pump 18. The water outlet pipe 20 is arranged on the bottom surface of the adjustment box 17. The valve 21 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 19 and the water outlet pipe 20.

[0027] In addition to adjusting the buoyancy through the airbag 16, the present invention also provides an adjustment box 17 at the bottom of the base 1. When the valve 21 on the water inlet pipe 19 is opened, seawater can enter the adjustment box 17, increasing the gravity of the entire artificial reef, so that it can sink to a deeper position in the sea. When the artificial reef needs to float, the valve 21 on the submersible pump 18 and the water outlet pipe 20 can be opened. The submersible pump 18 can discharge the water in the adjustment box 17 to the outside through the water outlet pipe 20, reducing the weight of the entire artificial reef, so that it can float.

[0028] Preferably, the jacking mechanism further includes a sleeve 22 and a moving rod 23. The sleeve 22 is arranged on the inner side wall of the receiving groove 14. The spring 9 is located in the sleeve 22. One end of the moving rod 23 is connected to the metal block 8, and the other end extends into the sleeve 22 to be connected with the spring 9.

[0029] When the metal block 8 is subjected to the elastic force of the spring 9 or the magnetic force of the electromagnet 10, the moving rod 23 will move along the sleeve 22 to limit the movement of the metal block 8, ensuring that the metal block 8 can smoothly pop out into the limiting groove 15.

[0030] Preferably, the jacking mechanism further includes a rubber gasket 24. The rubber gasket 24 is arranged on the side wall of the metal block 8 away from the sleeve 22.

[0031] The provided rubber gasket 24 can buffer the impact on the inner wall of the base 1 when the metal block 8 pops into the limiting groove 15, avoiding damage.

[0032] Preferably, the base 1 and the support frame 2 are integrally cast with concrete.

[0033] The base 1 and the support frame 2 made of concrete materials can reduce the corrosion caused by seawater and improve the strength of the overall structure at the same time.

[0034] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
