Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Mangroves are wetland woody plant communities composed mainly of evergreen trees or shrubs, growing in the intertidal zone of tropical and subtropical coasts. They play a vital role in purifying seawater, preventing wind and waves, fixing and storing carbon, and maintaining biodiversity, earning them the reputation of "coastal guardians" and "oceanic lungs." They are also important habitats for rare and endangered waterfowl, and breeding grounds for fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. Mangroves are one of the three pioneer tree species for mangrove afforestation. They are viviparous trees and also widely distributed and relatively cold-resistant, making them suitable for planting in estuaries and mudflats. Current mangrove protection measures mainly include in-situ conservation and ex-situ conservation. To maximize the protection of mangrove resources, some areas affected by human construction (such as the construction of cross-sea bridges) require ex-situ transplantation for mangrove protection.

[0003] Currently, during mangrove tree transplantation, workers dig up the mangrove saplings and then drag them across the mudflat surface until they reach the crane's operating range, where they are lifted by the crane arm. However, the inventors found in their transplantation practice that the mudflats are muddy, making it difficult for workers to drag the mangrove saplings. Furthermore, dragging the saplings easily loosens the root ball, causing further damage to the root system and hindering survival after transplantation. Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing technology, a transport device capable of carrying and moving mangrove saplings across mudflats was developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism includes a hull with an open-top cabin and an installation port at one end; guide rails, one on each side of the cabin extending to the installation port; a sliding support plate with a support shaft at one end, the two ends of which are connected to the corresponding guide rails via rollers, and grooves along the length of both sides of the sliding support plate; a fixing plate mounted on the bottom of the sliding support plate; a first electric push rod with a first push rod rotatably mounted near the installation port at the bottom of the cabin, the first push rod being connected to the fixing plate; and a second electric push rod with a second push rod obliquely mounted near the installation port on the side of the cabin, the second push rod being connected to one end of a round rod, the other end of which is inserted into the groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a support base and a rotating shaft. The support base is installed at the bottom of the cabin, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support base, and the other end is connected to the first electric push rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a guide sleeve and a base. The first push rod extends through at least one guide sleeve and connects to the fixed plate. The guide sleeve is installed at the bottom of the sliding support plate through the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a fixed shaft and a bracket. One end of the bracket is connected to a second electric push rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. The fixed shaft is installed on the side of the cabin.

[0010] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a support, which is installed on a sliding support plate for fixing and supporting the installation plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a storage battery, which is placed in the cabin and used to supply power to the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a diagonal brace plate, and the diagonal brace plate is installed on the end of the sliding support plate away from the installation opening.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide rail has an open guide groove on its side along its length, and the roller is placed in the guide groove to roll.

[0014] The bottom of the fixing plate is provided with a triangular tip.

[0015] Furthermore, the mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism of this utility model also includes a first limit sensor, a second limit sensor, a limit block, and a controller. The first limit sensor and the second limit sensor are installed at intervals along the length of the guide rail. The limit block is placed between the first limit sensor and the second limit sensor and is installed on the sliding support plate. The first electric push rod, the second electric push rod, the first limit sensor, and the second limit sensor are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention allows for the transport of mangrove plants on mudflats, preventing the root ball from loosening during movement. The mangrove plant is placed in the boat's hold, and a second electric actuator lowers a sliding support plate. This sliding support plate moves a fixed plate towards the mudflat. Once the fixed plate is mostly inserted into the mudflat, a first electric actuator extends a first push rod. When the fixed plate is further inserted into the mudflat and its movement is obstructed, the first push rod pushes the first electric actuator to move, which in turn moves the boat. The boat then moves the mangrove plant, replacing manual pulling. The root ball of the mangrove plant is placed inside the boat's hold, effectively preventing it from loosening.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a mangrove transplantation and tidal flat transport mechanism includes a hull 18, a guide rail 17, a sliding support plate 1, a fixed plate 2, a first electric push rod 20, and a second electric push rod 14. The hull 18 has a top-opening cabin 19, with an installation port 181 at one end. A guide rail 17 is installed on each side of the cabin 19, extending to the installation port 181. A support shaft 13 is provided at one end of the sliding support plate 1, and the two ends of the support shaft 13 are connected to the corresponding guide rail 17 via rollers 12. Slide grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the sliding support plate 1 along the length direction. A fixed plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the sliding support plate 1. A first electric push rod 20 has a first push rod 6, which is rotatably installed at the bottom of the cabin 19 near the installation port 181, and the first push rod 6 is connected to the fixed plate 2. A second electric push rod 14 has a second push rod 11, which is obliquely installed on the side of the cabin 19 near the installation port 181, and the second push rod 11 is connected to one end of a round rod 21, the other end of which is inserted into the slide groove 10.

[0029] To maintain rolling contact between the roller and the guide rail, a guide rail structure is provided. An open guide groove 171 is formed on the side of the guide rail 17 along its length, and the roller 12 is placed within the guide groove 171 and rolls. The guide groove guides the roller to roll along the length of the guide rail and also restricts the connection between the roller and the guide rail, preventing the roller from dislodging.

[0030] In order to better pull the sliding support plate, a second electric push rod 14 can be installed on each side of the mounting port. The two second electric push rods 14 pull the sliding support plate at the same time, which can stably pull the sliding support plate. When it is necessary to press the fixed plate into the mudflat, the two second electric push rods apply downward force to the sliding support plate at the same time, which can help the sliding support plate press the fixed plate into the mudflat.

[0031] The round rod 21 is inserted into the groove 10 on the side of the sliding support plate, and the round rod can slide along the groove. When the sliding support plate swings upward, the sliding support plate can rotate relative to the round rod through the groove.

[0032] The sliding support plate 1 is connected to the roller 12 via the support shaft 13. The sliding support plate 1 can move along the guide rail through the action of the support shaft and the roller.

[0033] Sliding support plate 1 swings during operation:

[0034] Swinging upwards, the second electric push rod 14 drives the second push rod 11 to retract, and the second push rod 11 pulls the sliding support plate 1 upwards through the round rod 21. The sliding support plate 1 can rotate relative to the roller 12 through the support shaft 13, and the sliding support plate 1 can swing upwards.

[0035] When the slide plate swings downward, the second electric push rod 14 drives the second push rod 11 to extend. The second push rod 11 pushes the sliding support plate 1 downward through the round rod 21. The sliding support plate 1 can rotate relative to the roller 12 through the support shaft 13, and the sliding support plate 1 can swing downward.

[0036] It should be noted that the sliding support plate will not touch the first electric push rod when it moves.

[0037] In some alternative embodiments, a rotatable mounting structure for the first electric actuator is provided, which includes an additional support base 23 and a rotating shaft 22. The support base 23 is mounted on the bottom of the cabin 19, one end of the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the support base 23, and the other end is connected to the first electric actuator 20.

[0038] The first electric actuator can rotate relative to the support base 23 via the pivot 22. This allows the first electric actuator to swing in sync with the sliding support plate.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, a guide sleeve 4 and a base 5 are added to support the first push rod abutting the fixing plate. The first push rod 6 extends through at least one guide sleeve 4 and connects to the fixing plate 2. The guide sleeve 4 is mounted on the bottom of the sliding support plate 1 via the base 5.

[0040] The number of guide sleeves 4 installed can be 1, 2, or 3, etc. When there are multiple, they can be installed at intervals along the length of the first push rod.

[0041] The guide sleeve can both guide the extension and retraction of the first push rod and prevent the first push rod from deforming.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, a mounting structure for the second electric actuator is provided, which includes an additional fixed shaft 15 and a bracket 16. One end of the bracket 16 is connected to the second electric actuator 14, and the other end is connected to the fixed shaft 15, which is mounted on the side of the cabin 19.

[0043] The fixed shaft 15 supports the mounting bracket 16, and the bracket 16 supports the second electric push rod 14 for inclined installation relative to the hull.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, a mounting structure for the fixing plate is provided, which includes an additional support 3. The support 3 is mounted on the sliding support plate 1 and is used to fix and support the fixing plate 2.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, for ease of power supply, a power supply method is provided by adding a storage battery 24, which is placed in the cabin 19 and used to supply power to the first electric push rod 20 and the second electric push rod 14.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, a diagonal brace 25 is added, and the diagonal brace 25 is installed on the end of the sliding support plate 1 away from the mounting opening 181.

[0047] Understandably, when the sliding support plate drives the fixed plate to insert into the mudflat, the inclined support plate can also be inserted into the mudflat to increase the auxiliary blocking effect.

[0048] It should be noted that when the sliding support plate is attached to the bank, the diagonal bracing plate can be inserted into the soil on the bank, thereby providing auxiliary support for the sliding support plate.

[0049] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the insertion of the fixing plate into the mudflat, the bottom of the fixing plate 2 is provided with a triangular tip 201.

[0050] The fixing plate can be easily inserted into the mudflats via its triangular tip.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, in order to accurately limit the distance the sliding support plate moves, a first limit sensor 7, a second limit sensor 9, a limit block 8, and a controller 26 are added. The first limit sensor 7 and the second limit sensor 9 are installed at intervals along the length direction of the guide rail 17, and the limit block 8 is placed between the first limit sensor 7 and the second limit sensor 9 and installed on the sliding support plate 1; wherein, the first electric push rod 20, the second electric push rod 14, the first limit sensor 7, and the second limit sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 26.

[0052] The controller can be used to operate the first electric push rod 20 and the second electric push rod 14.

[0053] It should be noted that the first limit sensor 7 and the second limit sensor 9 are installed on the side of the cabin and located above the guide rail.

[0054] It should be noted that the controller can control the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod to work in sequence and cycle through the first limit sensor and the second limit sensor.

[0055] According to the above embodiments, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0056] Construction workers control the second electric push rod 14 via controller 26. The second electric push rod 14 drives the second push rod 11 to extend. The second push rod 11 pushes the sliding support plate 1 downwards via the round rod 21. The sliding support plate 1 swings downwards, and the first push rod 6, i.e., the first electric push rod 20, swings along with the sliding support plate 1. After the second electric push rod has been working for 5 to 10 seconds, the sliding support plate 1, along with the fixed plate 2, has mostly inserted into the mudflat. At this time, controller 26 stops the second electric push rod 14 and starts the first electric push rod 20. The first electric push rod 20 drives the first push rod 6 to extend. Since the fixed plate is inserted into the mudflat, the extension of the first push rod 6 towards the fixed plate is blocked, thus pushing the first electric push rod 20 in the opposite direction. The first electric push rod 20 then moves the hull 18 forward.

[0057] When the hull moves forward, the sliding support plate 1 moves backward relative to the hull 18. The sliding support plate 1 then drives the limiting block 8 to move towards the first limiting sensor 7. When the limiting block 8 touches the first limiting sensor 7, the first limiting sensor 7 sends data information to the controller 26. Upon receiving the data information, the controller 26 controls the first electric push rod 20 to stop working and the second electric push rod 14 to work. The second electric push rod 14 drives the second push rod 11 to retract, and the second push rod 11 pulls the round rod 21 upward. The round rod 21 drives the sliding support plate 1 to swing upward. After the controller controls the second electric push rod to work for 5 to 10 seconds, the sliding support plate has driven the fixed plate to detach from the mudflat. At this time, the controller controls the first electric push rod 20 to work and the second electric push rod 14 to stop working. The first electric push rod 20 drives the first push rod 6 to retract. The sliding support plate 1 can roll along the guide rail with the help of rollers and can rotate and move relative to the round rod 21 with the help of the sliding groove 10. The first push rod 6 pulls the fixed plate 2, and the fixed plate 2 drives the sliding support plate 1 to move. When the limit block 8 on the sliding support plate 1 touches the second limit sensor 9, the second limit sensor 9 sends data information to the controller. When the controller receives the data information, it controls the first electric push rod 20 to stop working and controls the second electric push rod to work. The above operation is repeated, and the cycle is repeated so that the hull can move forward continuously.

[0058] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
