[0003] Generally, large parks are mostly artificially excavated water areas, mostly large water surfaces, with few small islands. If there are any, they are mostly covered with aquatic plants. In addition, manual cleaning increases labor costs and increases the adverse effects of human activities on birds. There are few bare soil areas. Generally, wading birds rarely have a place to rest when flying over these large water surfaces. Even waterfowl such as geese and ducks need to stop and rest in shallow and bare beach areas after swimming long distances.

[0035] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to serve as descriptions of various configurations of the subject technology of the present invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject technology of the present invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include specific details intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject technology of the present invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject technology of the present invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.
[0036] It will be understood that, herein, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and are not intended to express or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
[0037] The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a modular artificial floating island suitable for waterfowl habitat includes a floating assembly 1, a fixing frame 2, and an anchoring assembly 3 installed on the fixing frame 2. The floating assembly 1 is installed on the fixing frame 2.
[0039] The floating assembly 1 includes a floating block 11, and the floating block 11 is provided with a planting trough 12 for planting aquatic plants. The planting trough 12 passes through the floating block 11. The floating block 11 has at least two layers. The floating block 11 on the lower layer is fixed to the fixing frame 2, and the floating block 11 above the lower layer is plugged into the fixing frame 2.
[0040] The fixing frame 2 is provided with a plug post 21 that cooperates with the planting trough 12 , and all the floating blocks 11 are plugged into the plug post 21 , wherein a planting pot is placed in the planting trough 12 that is not covered by the upper floating blocks 11 .
[0041] The floating blocks 11 have at least two layers, which means that the layered structure formed by the floating blocks 11 has multiple layers. For example, the floating blocks 11 have two layers, and the multiple floating blocks 11 located in the lower layer are spliced together to form a lower structure, and the multiple floating blocks 11 located in the upper layer are spliced together to form an upper structure.
[0042] In some embodiments, the floating assembly 1 floats on the water surface. In windy and wave conditions, the waves hit one side of the floating assembly 1. In this state, the floating assembly 1 is usually subjected to uneven force, which may cause the floating assembly 1 to disintegrate.
[0043] In this solution, the plug posts 21 are used to fix the floating blocks 11. Even if the floating assembly 1 is subjected to uneven force, the floating assembly 1 will not disintegrate as long as the fixing frame 2 is not disintegrated, thereby making the floating assembly 1 have higher strength and not easily damaged during long-term use.
[0044] In addition, since the floating assembly 1 is not easy to disintegrate during use, the floating assembly 1 is more suitable for water birds to rest.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, planting pots are placed in the planting troughs 12 that are not covered by the upper floating blocks 11, which means that the plug posts 21 in the planting troughs 12 that are not covered by the upper floating blocks 11 are at a certain distance from the top surface of the floating blocks 11, thereby forming a clearance space so that the planting pots can be placed in the planting troughs 12.
[0046] That is to say, the upper end surface of the plug post 21 in the planting trough 12 not covered by the upper floating block 11 is not flush with the upper end surface of the floating block 11 where the planting trough 12 is located.
[0047] In some embodiments, the floating blocks 11 located above the lower layer may not be fixed to the floating blocks 11 of the lowest layer. Under the action of gravity, the floating blocks 11 located in the upper layer will not automatically separate from the plug posts 21.
[0048] In some embodiments, the number of the floating blocks 11 in the lower layer of the floating assembly 1 is greater than the number of the floating blocks 11 in the upper layer. That is, the area formed by the floating blocks 11 in the lower layer is larger than the area formed by the floating blocks 11 in the upper layer.
[0049] After the splicing is completed, the shape of the floating assembly 1 can be roughly conical.
[0050] In some embodiments, the surface of the floating assembly 1 is further covered with a decorative layer 13 that simulates the appearance of a real island. The decorative layer 13 can be made of environmentally friendly materials. Alternatively, the decorative layer 13 can also be made of real soil.
[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing frame 2 includes a longitudinal rod 22, and there are multiple longitudinal rods 22. Each longitudinal rod 22 is provided with at least two said plug posts 21. The fixing frame 2 also includes a cross rod 23, and there are at least two said cross rods 23. All said longitudinal rods 22 are fixed to said cross rod 23 by bolts.
[0052] In some embodiments, the longitudinal rod 22 is formed by splicing a plurality of rod segments together through screws, and the transverse rod 23 is formed by splicing a plurality of rod segments together through screws.
[0053] The longitudinal rods 22, the transverse rods 23 and the entire fixing frame 2 are fixed by splicing. In actual application, the size of the entire fixing frame 2 can be easily adjusted to adapt to artificial floating islands of different areas.
[0054] Water birds are usually light in weight, and the floating blocks 11 do not bear a large force. Therefore, the fixing frame 2 can fully meet the strength requirements by adopting a splicing method.
[0055] The fixing frame 2 can be made of metal material, and anti-rust paint should be applied on the fixing frame 2 made of metal material. The fixing frame 2 can also be made of non-metallic material.
[0056] In some embodiments, the plug post 21 is fixed to the longitudinal rod 22 by screws, or the plug post 21 and the longitudinal rod 22 are an integrated structure, or the plug post 21 is welded to the longitudinal rod 22.
[0057] There is no limitation on the specific fixing method of the plug post 21 and the longitudinal rod 22, and any fixing method can be used.
[0058] In some embodiments, the floating blocks 11 located at the lower layer are tied to the fixing frame 2; or, the floating blocks 11 located at the lower layer are fixed to the fixing frame 2 by screws; or, the floating blocks 11 located at the lower layer are fixed to the fixing frame 2 by bonding.
[0059] There is no limitation on the fixing method of the floating block 11 located at the lower layer and the fixing frame 2 , and any fixing method can be used.
[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the anchoring assembly 3 includes an anchor body 31 and a connecting rope 32 , one end of the connecting rope 32 is fixedly connected to the anchor body 31 , and the other end of the connecting rope 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 2 .
[0061] The two ends of the connecting rope 32 can be connected to the anchor body 31 and the fixing frame 2 respectively in a bundled manner.
[0062] In some embodiments, the length of the connecting rope 32 is greater than the distance from the fixing frame 2 to the bottom of the water. That is, the connecting rope 32 has a longer length and can adapt to the height changes of the water surface.
[0063] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the floating block 11 is a regular polygon, and the upper and lower layers of the floating blocks 11 are connected by screws.
[0064] In order to make the floating assembly 1 have higher strength, the upper and lower floating blocks 11 are connected by screws. The floating assembly 1 is not easy to disintegrate during long-term use. Even if the floating assembly 1 falls over, the floating assembly 1 will not disintegrate.
[0065] A specific application example:
[0066] Reference Figure 1As shown, the material of the floating block 11 can be polyester fiber, which is hollow, non-toxic and harmless, and is generally dark green in color to simulate the surrounding water ecological environment.
[0067] The floating block 11 adopts a splicing combination mode, which can be spliced left and right or up and down, and the size and thickness can be adjusted according to needs. Generally, the overall size of a single floating assembly 1 after assembly is 20㎡-50㎡, and the thickness is generally 10cm-30cm above the water surface.
[0068] The shape of a single floating block 11 is hexagonal, with a hole in the middle, namely the planting groove 12. The size is not limited. The single floating block 11 can have a protrusion, which can be tightened and fixed with screws when spliced together.
[0069] The floating components 1 can generally be combined into a large floating island with a gentle slope that is high in the middle and low on both sides according to needs. After the splicing is completed, a planting pot with soil is placed in the planting trough 12. Aquatic plants can be planted in the planting pot. After placing it in the water, a thin layer of soil can be sprinkled on the surface of the floating island component to maintain a natural gentle slope and reduce angular fluctuations to simulate the natural wild state of the entire island.
[0070] After the floating component 1 is assembled, the anchor body 31 of the anchor component 3 is sunk into the bottom mud and fixed. Generally, the size and height of the floating component 1 exposed to the water surface can be changed according to the water level change. Generally, a certain area is controlled to be exposed to the water surface, and a certain area is preferably underwater. Floating-leaf plants such as water lilies and water lilies can be planted in the underwater planting trough 12, and submerged plants such as black algae and water grass can also be planted. After the aquatic plants grow and survive, the area of the floating island and the habitat area can be expanded. The artificial floating island and the water surface can be connected on both sides to serve as a natural water-land buffer area.
[0071] Artificial floating islands of a certain size can be placed in areas where there are no islands on large water surfaces to simulate real underwater islands, providing a place for flying water birds, especially wading birds, to rest and forage. Various aquatic plants can be configured according to landscape needs to make them harmonious and consistent with the surrounding environment, thereby improving the landscape effect of the water area, purifying the water quality, and promoting the benign cycle of the aquatic ecosystem. At the same time, the cost of artificial mowing to maintain a light beach is reduced, and the disturbance to bird habitats is reduced.
[0072] The above describes the technical solution and corresponding details of the subject matter of the present invention. It can be understood that the above description is only some implementation plans of the technical solution of the subject matter of the present invention, and some details may be omitted during its specific implementation.
[0073] In addition, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be implemented in combination. Due to space limitations, various combination schemes are not listed one by one. Those skilled in the art can freely combine and implement the above embodiments as needed in specific implementation to obtain a better application experience.
[0074] When implementing the technical solution of the present invention, those skilled in the art may obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the technical solution of the present invention and the drawings. Obviously, these details still fall within the scope covered by the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention.
