Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial algal reef technology, specifically to a large seaweed-assembled reef device for ecological restoration. Background Technology

[0002] Seaweed is an important component of the marine ecosystem. It produces oxygen through photosynthesis, provides food and habitat for marine life, and offers a place for many marine organisms to reproduce, forage, and take refuge. It is a treasure trove of biodiversity, while also absorbing carbon dioxide and other nutrients, which helps maintain the marine ecological balance.

[0003] Seaweed beds serve as breeding and feeding grounds for many economically important fish and shellfish. Restoring seaweed species helps increase fishery resources and promotes fisheries development. There are two methods for seaweed species restoration in seaweed beds: seed transplantation and artificial seeding. Seed transplantation is the most efficient method. During low tide, transplanted seed seaweed is directly fixed to the bedrock substrate in the intertidal zone. Alternatively, it can be directly submerged in the target sea area through diving operations or by binding with weights. Currently, diving operations are commonly used for construction. However, these existing technologies are relatively inefficient and cannot effectively guarantee the spacing between transplanted plants, thus failing to ensure the restoration effect is achieved according to the seeding density required by the technical plan.

[0004] Existing methods typically involve harvesting seaweed from surrounding waters, accelerating its ripening process by clustering 4-6 seedlings together and hanging them flat on the sea surface to ensure even sunlight exposure and synchronized maturation. This process then involves artificial seedling cultivation, factory rearing, sea-based growth, assembly with reefs, and finally, release into nearshore waters. However, artificially assembling seaweed onto reefs is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making large-scale production difficult.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a large seaweed-assembled reef device for ecological restoration to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-scale seaweed reef assembly device for ecological restoration, which solves the problem that the existing technology of manually assembling seaweed into reefs is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to mass-produce.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] A large seaweed reef assembly device for ecological restoration includes a first feeding mechanism and a second feeding mechanism. The first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism are arranged parallel to each other. A first pushing device is vertically arranged on one side of the end of the first feeding mechanism, and a second pushing device is vertically arranged on one side of the end of the second feeding mechanism. An assembly frame is arranged between the first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism, and the assembly frame corresponds to the first pushing device and the second pushing device. The upper plate of the assembly frame is on the same horizontal plane as the first feeding mechanism, and a material dropping hole is opened on the upper plate. The lower plate of the assembly frame is on the same horizontal plane as the second feeding mechanism. A first driving cylinder is connected to the upper part of the assembly frame, and a first pressing plate is connected to the end of the drive shaft of the first driving cylinder. The drive shaft of the first driving cylinder corresponds to the material dropping hole. A conveying device is connected to one side of the assembly frame. An seaweed glue injection mechanism, a seaweed reef block assembly mechanism, a limiting block assembly mechanism, and a pressing mechanism are sequentially arranged on one side of the conveying device.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the assembly of seaweed and reefs can be completed efficiently and accurately, accelerating the production speed of seaweed-to-reef assembly, reducing the time cost of manual operation, and reducing reliance on manual labor.

[0010] Furthermore, the first feeding mechanism is equipped with a first diameter detection device, and the second feeding mechanism is equipped with a second diameter detection device.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the specifications of the rubber tray and reef were ensured, which facilitated subsequent assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, a first waste bin is provided at the end of the first feeding mechanism; and a second waste bin is provided at the end of the second feeding mechanism.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the diameter of the rubber tray and reef is detected to be non-compliant, the first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism will transport the non-compliant rubber tray and reef to the first waste bin or the second waste bin, ensuring that only materials that meet the specifications are used for assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, both the upper and lower plates of the assembly frame can be detachably connected to limit plates.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber disc and reef can be positioned to ensure that they remain in the correct position during assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, the algal reef block assembly mechanism includes a first support, a second drive cylinder is connected to the upper end of the first support, a second pressing plate is connected to the end of the drive shaft of the second drive cylinder, the conveying device is provided with a rotating component corresponding to the second drive cylinder, an algal reef block pushing component is provided on one side of the rotating component, and the algal reef block pushing component is connected to the first support.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the second pressing plate at the end of the drive shaft presses down, and the reef pushing component embeds the reef into the outer wall of the reef. At the same time, the rotating component works in conjunction with the reef pushing component to embed the reef.

[0018] Furthermore, the algal reef block contains multiple algal spores.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple algal sporophytes are embedded in the reef. The sporophytes can germinate and grow during the subsequent cultivation process, forming a more complex algal reef structure.

[0020] Furthermore, the limiting block assembly mechanism includes a second bracket, on which a material dropping component is connected. The material dropping component is used to drop the locking block, and the locking block corresponds to the reef. The pressing mechanism includes a third bracket, on which a third drive cylinder is connected. The end of the drive shaft of the third drive cylinder is connected to a pressing block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing block at the end of the drive shaft can press down to firmly press the snap-fit ​​block onto the reef.

[0022] Furthermore, the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​block is connected with a sponge; a limit block is provided at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​block can fit tightly with the reef structure through the limiting block to fix and limit the seaweed, while fixing the position of the rubber disc inside the reef. At the same time, the sponge material on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​block helps to retain moisture and nutrients, promoting the growth of seaweed.

[0024] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] 1. This utility model can automatically press the glue tray into the reef on the lower plate, and then through the coordinated cooperation of the seaweed glue injection mechanism, the reef assembly mechanism, the limiting block assembly mechanism and the pressing mechanism, it can efficiently and accurately complete the assembly of seaweed and reef, accelerate the production speed of seaweed to reef, reduce the time cost of manual operation and reduce the dependence on manual labor.

[0026] 2. This utility model can embed reefs into the outer wall of reefs through the reef pushing component. At the same time, the rotating component works in conjunction with the reef pushing component to embed the reefs. Multiple seaweed spores are embedded in the reefs. The spores can germinate and grow during the subsequent cultivation process, forming a more complex seaweed reef structure on the seabed and promoting ecological restoration.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] In this application, the terms "upper," "inner," "outer," "middle," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a large seaweed reef assembly device for ecological restoration includes a first feeding mechanism 1 and a second feeding mechanism 10. The first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 10 are arranged in parallel. A first pushing device 11 is vertically arranged on one side of the end of the first feeding mechanism 1, and a second pushing device 12 is vertically arranged on one side of the end of the second feeding mechanism 10. An assembly frame 2 is arranged between the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 10, and the assembly frame 2 corresponds to the first pushing device 11 and the second pushing device 12. A first diameter detection device 13 is arranged on the first feeding mechanism 1, and a second diameter detection device 14 is arranged on the second feeding mechanism 10. A first waste bin 15 is arranged at the end of the first feeding mechanism 1, and a second waste bin 16 is arranged at the end of the second feeding mechanism 10. The first feeding mechanism 1 is used to transport the plastic tray 63, and the second feeding mechanism 10 is used to transport the reef 62. Before the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 are transported to the assembly frame 2, the first diameter detection device 13 and the second diameter detection device 14 respectively detect the diameter of the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62. This ensures that the specifications of the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 are met, which is helpful for subsequent assembly. If the diameter of the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 is detected to be non-compliant, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 10 will transport the non-compliant plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 to the first waste bin 15 or the second waste bin 16, ensuring that only materials that meet the specifications are used for assembly.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the upper plate 20 of the assembly frame 2 is on the same horizontal plane as the first feeding mechanism 1, and a material drop hole 21 is provided on the upper plate 20. The lower plate 22 of the assembly frame 2 is on the same horizontal plane as the second feeding mechanism 10. A first driving cylinder 24 is connected to the upper part of the assembly frame 2. A first pressing plate 25 is connected to the end of the drive shaft of the first driving cylinder 24. The drive shaft of the first driving cylinder 24 corresponds to the material drop hole 21. Limiting plates 23 can be detachably connected to both the upper plate 20 and the lower plate 22 of the assembly frame 2. The qualified rubber tray 63 is then conveyed to the vicinity of the assembly frame 2 by the first feeding mechanism 1, and the qualified reef 62 is conveyed to the vicinity of the assembly frame 2 by the second feeding mechanism 10. The first pushing device 11 then pushes the rubber tray 63 onto the upper plate 20 of the assembly frame 2, and the second pushing device 12 pushes the reef 62 onto the lower plate 22 of the assembly frame 2. The limiting plate 23 is used to position the rubber tray 63 and the reef 62, ensuring they maintain the correct position during assembly. Then, the first drive cylinder 24 is activated, and the first pressing plate 25 at the end of its drive shaft presses down through the dropping hole 21, pressing the rubber tray 63 on the upper plate 20 into the reef 62 on the lower plate 22, completing the initial assembly.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a conveying device 3 is connected to one side of the assembly frame 2, and an alginate injection mechanism 30, a reef assembly mechanism, a limit block assembly mechanism, and a pressing mechanism are sequentially arranged on one side of the conveying device 3.

[0038] The reef assembly mechanism includes a first support 4, with a second drive cylinder 40 connected to the upper end of the first support 4. A second pressing plate 41 is connected to the end of the drive shaft of the second drive cylinder 40. A rotating component 42 is provided on the conveying device 3 corresponding to the second drive cylinder 40. A reef 62 pushing component is provided on one side of the rotating component 42 and is connected to the first support 4. Multiple seaweed spores are disposed inside the reef 62. The reef 62 is then conveyed to the conveying device 3, which transports it to the area below the seaweed glue injection mechanism 30. The seaweed glue injection mechanism 30 then injects seaweed glue into the glue tray 63 inside the reef 62. The conveying device 3 continues to transport the reef 62 to the area below the reef assembly mechanism, whereupon the second drive cylinder 40 is activated, and the second pressing plate 41 at the end of the drive shaft presses down. The reef 62 pushing component embeds the reef 62 into the outer wall of the reef 62, while the rotating component 42 works in conjunction with the reef 62 pushing component to embed it. Multiple algal sporophytes are embedded within Reef 62. These sporophytes can germinate and grow during subsequent cultivation, forming a more complex algal reef 62 structure.

[0039] The limiting block assembly mechanism includes a second support 5, on which a material feeding component 50 is connected. The material feeding component 50 is used to feed the clamping block 51, which corresponds to the reef 62. The pressing mechanism includes a third support 6, on which a third drive cylinder 60 is connected. The end of the drive shaft of the third drive cylinder 60 is connected to the pressing block 61. During the conveying process of the reef 62 on the conveying device 3, seaweed is manually / mechanically inserted into the plastic tray 63. The reef 62 is then transported to the bottom of the limiting block assembly mechanism. The material feeding component 50 places the clamping block 51 in the corresponding position on the reef 62. The clamping block 51, through the limiting block 53, can tightly cooperate with the structure of the reef 62, fixing and limiting the seaweed, and simultaneously fixing the position of the plastic tray 63 inside the reef 62. Meanwhile, the sponge 52 material on the inner wall of the clamping block 51 helps retain moisture and nutrients, promoting seaweed growth. The inner wall of the snap-fit ​​block 51 is connected with a sponge 52; a limit block 53 is provided at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​block 51. The conveying device 3 transports the reef 62 with the snap-fit ​​block 51 to the bottom of the pressing mechanism. The third drive cylinder 60 is activated, and the pressing block 61 at the end of the drive shaft presses down, firmly pressing the snap-fit ​​block 51 onto the reef 62, thus completing the entire assembly process.

[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] First, the first feeding mechanism 1 conveys the plastic tray 63, and the second feeding mechanism 10 conveys the reef 62. Before the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 are conveyed to the assembly frame 2, the first diameter detection device 13 and the second diameter detection device 14 respectively detect the diameter of the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62. This ensures that the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 meet the specifications, which is helpful for subsequent assembly. If the diameter of the plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 is detected to be non-compliant, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 10 will convey the non-compliant plastic tray 63 and the reef 62 to the first waste bin 15 or the second waste bin 16, ensuring that only materials that meet the specifications are used for assembly.

[0042] The qualified rubber tray 63 is then conveyed to the vicinity of the assembly frame 2 by the first feeding mechanism 1, and the qualified reef 62 is conveyed to the vicinity of the assembly frame 2 by the second feeding mechanism 10. The first pushing device 11 then pushes the rubber tray 63 onto the upper plate 20 of the assembly frame 2, and the second pushing device 12 pushes the reef 62 onto the lower plate 22 of the assembly frame 2. The limiting plate 23 is used to position the rubber tray 63 and the reef 62, ensuring they maintain the correct position during assembly. Then, the first drive cylinder 24 is activated, and the first pressing plate 25 at the end of its drive shaft presses down through the dropping hole 21, pressing the rubber tray 63 on the upper plate 20 into the reef 62 on the lower plate 22, completing the initial assembly.

[0043] The reef 62 is then conveyed to the conveying device 3, which transports it below the alginate injection mechanism 30. The alginate injection mechanism 30 then injects alginate into the glue tray 63 within the reef 62. The conveying device 3 continues to transport the reef 62 below the reef assembly mechanism, whereupon the second drive cylinder 40 is activated, and the second pressing plate 41 at the end of the drive shaft presses down. The reef 62 pushing assembly embeds the reef 62 into the outer wall of the reef 62, while the rotating component 42 works in conjunction with the reef 62 pushing assembly. Multiple alginate spores are embedded within the reef 62, which can germinate and grow during subsequent cultivation, forming a more complex alginate reef 62 structure.

[0044] Then, during the process of the reef 62 being transported on the conveying device 3, the seaweed is inserted into the plastic tray 63 manually or by machine. The reef 62 is then transported to the bottom of the limiting block assembly mechanism. The material feeding component 50 places the snap-fit ​​block 51 in the corresponding position of the reef 62. The snap-fit ​​block 51 can then be tightly fitted with the structure of the reef 62 through the limiting block 53 to fix and limit the seaweed, and at the same time fix the position of the plastic tray 63 inside the reef 62. Meanwhile, the sponge 52 material on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 51 helps to retain moisture and nutrients and promote the growth of seaweed.

[0045] Finally, the conveying device 3 transports the rock 62 with the snap-fit ​​block 51 to the bottom of the pressing mechanism. The third drive cylinder 60 is activated, and the pressing block 61 at the end of the drive shaft is pressed down, firmly pressing the snap-fit ​​block 51 onto the rock 62, thus completing the entire assembly process.
