[0002] During the construction of iron tower projects, some damage to the construction site and surrounding vegetation is inevitable. If not restored in time, the exposed soil and rock area can gradually expand, leading to slope slippage and collapse. In related technologies, engineers sow seeds at the construction site and surrounding area to promote vegetation regeneration. However, after sowing, the seeds only remain on the ground surface and are easily blown away by the wind or washed away by rainwater. The high seed loss rate makes it difficult for the seeds to grow in situ, resulting in difficulties in revegetating the construction site and surrounding area. Utility Model Content

[0039] Please see Figure 1 This utility model embodiment provides a seed structure 100 for revegetation of the base surface of iron towers, which can be used for revegetation at and around the construction site of iron tower projects.

[0040] The seed structure 100 includes a shell 10, a growth substrate 20, a seed 30, and a puncture portion 40. The shell 10 defines a first receiving cavity 101, the growth substrate 20 is disposed within the first receiving cavity 101, and the seed 30 is disposed within the growth substrate 20, which provides nutrients to the seed 30. The puncture portion 40 is disposed at the lower end 11 of the shell 10 and is used to penetrate the ground surface layer 200 so that the seed structure 100 can be retained on the ground surface layer 200.

[0041] Understandably, in order for the piercing part 40 of the seed structure 100 to penetrate the ground surface 200 during the scattering process, the ground surface 200 can be softened so that when the seed structure 100 is thrown towards the ground surface 200 by hand, its piercing part 40 can penetrate the ground surface 200 more easily. Alternatively, an external device can be used to apply a certain propulsive force to the seed structure 100 so that when the seed structure 100 is thrown towards the ground surface 200, its piercing part 40 can penetrate the ground surface 200 more easily.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, firstly, by providing a piercing portion 40 at the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, the seed structure 100 can penetrate into the ground surface layer 200 through the piercing portion 40, thereby keeping the seed structure 100 within the ground surface layer 200 and strengthening the bonding ability between the seed structure 100 and the ground surface layer 200. This prevents the seed structure 100 from being blown away by the wind or washed away by rainwater, reducing the loss rate of the seed structure 100. Secondly, by defining a first receiving cavity 101 in the outer shell 10 for accommodating the growth substrate 20 and the seeds 30, the seeds 30 are better protected under the enclosure of the growth substrate 20 and the outer shell 10, preventing the seeds 30 inside the outer shell 10 from scattering during the scattering process and improving the survival rate of the seeds 30. Therefore, the seed structure 100 of this embodiment of the invention has a good revegetation effect on the scattering site.

[0043] To ensure that the puncture part 40 has a certain puncture capability, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the puncture part 40 gradually decreases along the direction from the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10 to the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, making the end of the puncture part 40 away from the outer shell 10 more "sharp". This reduces the contact area between the puncture part 40 and the ground surface 200 and increases the pressure generated when the puncture part 40 acts on the ground surface 200, so that the stress can be concentrated at the end of the puncture part 40 away from the outer shell 10, thereby making it easier for the puncture part 40 to penetrate the ground surface 200 and ensuring the puncture capability of the puncture part 40.

[0044] Specifically, the shape of the puncture section 40 can be set according to actual needs, such as semi-ellipse, semi-circle, inverted triangle or bullet shape, etc.

[0045] During the sowing process, the landing angle of the seed structure 100 is easily affected by factors such as the initial sowing angle and wind force, which causes its piercing part 40 to not always face the ground surface 200. When the seed structure 100 comes into contact with the ground surface 200 through a structure other than the piercing part 40, the seed structure 100 may not be able to penetrate the ground surface 200. Therefore, in some embodiments, the center of gravity of the seed structure 100 is biased towards the puncture part 40, that is, the horizontal height of the center of gravity of the seed structure 100 is lower than the horizontal height of its horizontal center plane, that is, the center of gravity of the seed structure 100 is biased towards its lower end 11. In this way, the weight of the seed structure 100 is mainly concentrated at the lower end 11 where the puncture part 40 is located. During the throwing process, since the weight at the lower end 11 where the puncture part 40 is located is heavier, the puncture part 40 can naturally face downward under the action of the center of gravity, so as to penetrate the ground surface 200 in an attitude perpendicular to the ground surface 200 or at a small angle relative to the ground surface 200. This ensures that after the seed structure 100 is thrown, it can fall with the puncture part 40 facing the ground surface 200, avoiding the upper end 12 or side of the seed structure 100 from contacting the ground surface 200 and making it difficult to penetrate the ground surface 200.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10 defines a first opening 102, which communicates with the first receiving cavity 101. A puncture portion 40 is disposed over the first opening 102. The first opening 102 is used to allow the growth substrate 20 and the seed 30 to enter the first receiving cavity 101 and be received within it. By connecting the puncture portion 40 to the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, the puncture portion 40 can also block the first opening 102. This eliminates the need to use other structures to block the first opening 102, thereby reducing the number of production steps for the seed structure 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 and the puncture portion 40 are connected to form an elliptical, teardrop, or bullet shape, that is, the seed structure 100 has an elliptical, teardrop, or bullet-shaped shape, making the shape of the seed structure 100 more smooth and fluid, and having a gradually increasing cross-section from at least the end of the puncture portion 40 away from the outer shell 10 to the middle of the outer shell 10. This gradual change helps to smoothly guide the fluid to flow along the outer side wall of the seed structure 100, reduce air resistance during the scattering process, and improve the stability of the seed structure 100 during the scattering process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 is a water-soluble material. When the outer shell 10 comes into contact with water, the water can cause the outer shell 10 to lose its structural strength and completely dissolve, thereby releasing the seed 30 in the first receiving cavity 101. This allows the middle shell to germinate and grow outward, preventing the seed 30 from being trapped in the first receiving cavity 101 and suffocating inside the first receiving cavity 101.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 may be composed of coconut coir, clay, grass roots, and adhesive, which are mixed in a certain proportion to form a material for manufacturing the outer shell 10.

[0050] In some embodiments, the growth substrate 20 may be composed of peat moss, organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer, binder, and pH adjuster, which are mixed in a certain proportion to form the growth substrate 20.

[0051] In some embodiments, the puncture portion 40 is vegetation concrete. The vegetation concrete has high strength, which can ensure that the puncture portion 40 has a certain structural strength to penetrate the ground surface 200. In addition, the vegetation concrete has high porosity, which allows the seed 30 to penetrate the puncture portion 40 and take root in the ground, providing penetration growth conditions for the seed 30. Furthermore, the vegetation concrete also has low alkalinity, which is suitable for the growth of the seed 30.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the seed structure 100 further includes a booster device 50, which is disposed at the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10. That is, the puncture part 40 and the booster device 50 are respectively located at opposite ends of the outer shell 10. The booster device 50 is used to provide the seed structure 100 with a thrust along the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10 toward the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, so that the puncture part 40 can easily penetrate the ground surface layer 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, the upper end 12 of the housing 10 defines a second receiving cavity 103 and a second opening 104, the second opening 104 communicating with the second receiving cavity 103; the booster device 50 includes a propellant 51 and an ignition part 52, the propellant 51 being disposed in the second receiving cavity 103 and the ignition part 52 being covered by the second opening 104. In use, the seed structure 100 can be launched using an external launching device. Specifically, the seed structure 100 is placed in the barrel of the launching device, with the piercing part 40 of the seed structure 100 facing the ground surface 200. The launching device impacts the ignition part 52 at the second opening 104, causing the ignition part 52 to ignite the propellant 51 in the second receiving cavity 103. The propellant 51 burns rapidly in the second receiving cavity 103 and generates a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas. This gas exerts a thrust on the seed structure 100 from the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10 to the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, so that the seed structure 100 can be launched toward the ground surface 200 and the piercing part 40 penetrates the ground surface 200.

[0054] When the propellant 51 is ignited, it will blast an opening at the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10. This opening allows rainwater to pass through and enter the first containment cavity 101 to provide nourishment and moisture to the seeds 30 inside the first containment cavity 101, and the seeds 30 can grow outward through this opening.

[0055] In order to facilitate the propellant 51 to blast open the opening at the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10 so that the first receiving cavity 101 can communicate with the outside, in some embodiments, a thin wall 13 is provided between the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 103. The thin wall 13 separates the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 103. That is, the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 103 are located on opposite sides of the thin wall 13. The thin wall 13 has a relatively thin wall thickness and can be easily destroyed by the explosion of the propellant 51.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 10 and the piercing part 40 are connected to form a bullet shape. In this way, when the booster device 50 provides a thrust to the seed structure 100 along the upper end 12 of the outer shell 10 to the lower end 11 of the outer shell 10, it is beneficial for the seed structure 100 to penetrate the air, reduce the drag encountered by the seed structure 100 during its flight in the air after leaving the barrel, and enable the seed structure 100 to maintain stable flight.

[0057] In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 is vegetation concrete. The vegetation concrete has high strength, which ensures that the outer shell 10 does not collapse during the process of penetrating the ground surface 200 with the puncture part 40. In addition, the vegetation concrete has high porosity, which allows the seeds 30 to penetrate the puncture part 40 and take root in the ground, providing penetration growth conditions for the seeds 30. The vegetation concrete also has low alkalinity, which is suitable for the growth of the seeds 30.

[0058] In some embodiments, the puncture part 40 is a metal block. The metal block is relatively hard, which ensures the structural strength of the puncture part 40 and facilitates the seed structure 100 to penetrate the harder ground surface 200, thus ensuring the puncture force of the seed structure 100.

[0059] Understandably, the booster device 50 can also be omitted, and the seed structure 100 can be launched using other external devices. For example, the seed structure 100 can be launched using a slingshot. Specifically, multiple seed structures 100 are placed on the pouch of a slingshot that has been loaded with elasticity, with the piercing part 40 of each seed structure 100 facing the ground surface 200. Then, the slingshot is released, which will cause each seed structure 100 to be launched toward the ground surface 200 and have its piercing part 40 penetrate the ground surface 200.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 As shown, in the specific implementation of this utility model embodiment, a thin layer of concrete can be laid at the scattering site, forming a surface layer 200 on the land. Before the concrete layer hardens, the seed structure 100 can be scattered by hand, allowing the piercing part 40 of the seed structure 100 to penetrate into the unhardened concrete layer. After the concrete layer hardens and solidifies, it not only keeps the seed structure 100 in the piercing position but also prevents rainwater from eroding the ground and causing soil erosion to a certain extent. After the seed 30 grows from the concrete layer and forms a plant, the plant's root system and the concrete layer can work together to resist soil erosion. When the plant grows to a certain extent, it can completely replace the function of the concrete layer.

[0061] Of course, after the concrete has set and hardened, the launching device can also trigger the booster device 50 on the seed structure 100 so that the seed structure 100 can penetrate into the concrete under the push of the booster device 50.

[0062] Alternatively, instead of laying a thin layer of concrete at the scattering site, the launching device can be used to trigger the booster device 50 on the seed structure 100, so that the seed structure 100 penetrates the ground surface layer 200 under the push of the booster device 50.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
