[0023] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a modular artificial reef (hereinafter referred to as artificial reef) to create a favorable environment for fish and other aquatic organisms to inhabit, grow and reproduce, thereby achieving the enhancement of fishery resources.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the artificial reef in this embodiment includes multiple splicing components 100, which are spliced ​​end to end to form a detachable artificial reef structure 200. Depending on the different usage environments, the corresponding artificial reef structure 200 is as follows: Figure 3 The cubic structure shown, such as Figure 4 The hexagonal prism structure shown or such Figure 5 The pyramid structure shown.

[0027] More specifically, each splice 100 includes a reef body 1 and a connecting member 4. The reef body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 2 for rigid support, specifically reinforcing ribs 2 being steel bars. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing ribs 2 can also be threaded rods made of alloys such as copper or iron.

[0028] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing rib 2 is inserted through the reef body 1, and the reinforcing rib 2 has two connecting ends 21 that protrude from both ends of the reef body 1. Specifically, the two connecting ends 21 are respectively provided with external threads. The connecting member 4 has 6 connecting heads 41 arranged in a cross shape. Each connecting head 41 has a threaded hole 411 that matches the connecting end 21. The reef body 1 has mounting grooves 12 for accommodating the connecting head 41 at both ends facing the connecting head 41. The connecting end 21 protrudes from the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to ensure that the connecting end 21 protrudes from the end face of the reef body 1.

[0029] By cooperating with multiple connectors 41 facing different installation directions, the reef bodies 1 of splicing parts 100 located on the periphery and in different installation directions are respectively assembled to the connecting member 4 of the same splicing part 100 located in the center, and the end of the reef body 1 near the splicing part 100 located in the center away from its connecting member 4 is assembled with the connecting member 4 of another splicing part 100.

[0030] Therefore, when multiple splicing parts 100 are assembled, the connecting end 21 of each splicing part 100 is screwed into the threaded hole 411 of the corresponding connecting member 4, so as to splice multiple splicing parts 100 into a detachable whole.

[0031] Of course, in other embodiments, threaded holes 411 may be provided on the reinforcing rib 2, and the connector 41 may be provided with a protruding connector end 21.

[0032] In another preferred embodiment, the reef 1 is a coal gangue-aluminum-based ceramic composite reef.

[0033] Because the reef 1, composed of coal gangue-aluminum-based ceramic composite material, has a porous structure, it can increase the opening rate, which is conducive to improving the attachment of organisms and achieving the effect of breeding and releasing. At the same time, it has corrosion resistance and low leaching rate of heavy metal ions. Thus, it can not only take into account the ecological effect, but also realize the resource utilization of waste coal gangue to achieve low economic cost, that is, to generate the maximum ecological effect under certain economic constraints. Compared with existing artificial reefs containing concrete, wood, heavy metals, etc., the artificial reef in this embodiment can also reduce the output of heavy metals.

[0034] Further preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, each reef body 1 of the splicing component 100 has multiple through holes 11. Connecting ropes are provided between some of the through holes 11 on two opposite reef bodies 1. The connecting ropes are hemp ropes. The through holes 11 on each reef body 1 are distributed at equal intervals to ensure that the multiple connecting ropes connecting the two reef bodies 1 are arranged in parallel.

[0035] In use, each through hole 11 is equipped with a fastener, specifically a snap fastener. Each connecting rope is attached to its corresponding fastener, and each connecting rope is strung with several aquaculture products such as oysters or seaweed.

[0036] The other part of the through-hole 11 facilitates coral attachment for coral reef cultivation. If small algae are selected for cultivation, sufficient oxygen can be provided for the coral without affecting its growth, while also providing some protection for small fish and juvenile fish.

[0037] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the various splicing parts 100 are spliced ​​together, the multiple connectors 41 of the connecting member 4 are used to connect the corresponding connecting ends 21 of the reef body 1 respectively. By splicing the multiple splicing parts 100 end to end, a detachable artificial reef is formed. This can effectively improve the space utilization rate within the artificial reef and has a diverse structure to meet the needs of different usage environments.

[0038] Furthermore, the artificial reefs in this embodiment are effectively combined with the restoration of coral reefs, thus achieving certain ecological benefits.

[0039] Further preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the reef 1 is covered with oyster shell pieces 3, and the oyster shell pieces 3 are distributed in an alternating pattern of sizes. Of course, the oyster shell pieces 3 are distributed between the various through holes 11, so as not to cover the openings of the through holes 11.

[0040] In this specific embodiment, the coal gangue-aluminum-based ceramic composite material and the reinforcing rib 2 are first integrally cast to form a reef body 1 with a length of 85 cm and embedded with the reinforcing rib 2. The two connecting ends 21 of the reinforcing rib 2 are respectively inserted into the mounting grooves 12 at both ends of the reef body 1, and both are provided with external threads to facilitate subsequent detachable screw-on assembly.

[0041] Next, threaded holes 411 are machined on the connectors 41 of the connecting components 4, and the pre-processed reefs 1 are connected or spliced ​​together through the connecting components 4. The reefs 1 and the connecting components 4 can be mass-produced on land, and the pre-processed reefs 1 and connecting components 4 are transported to the deployment site and then assembled one by one to splice a complete artificial reef structure 200, which also facilitates assembly.

[0042] Then, oyster shell sheets 3 are laid on the outer surface of the reef 1 to increase the surface friction of the reef 1, thereby increasing the adhesion of aquatic organisms to it, and can also be used to form a seaweed farming area.

[0043] In addition, the reef 1 has multiple through holes 11 with an inner diameter of 2 cm and an outer diameter of 6 cm. Some of the through holes 11 have snap fasteners at the opening, and each snap fastener is tied with hemp rope. Several oysters are vertically connected by the hemp rope, so that the hemp ropes with oysters are hung side by side between two oppositely arranged splicing parts 100 of the reef 1. Meanwhile, coral reefs are cultivated on the remaining through holes 11. This can further increase the space utilization rate, that is, make efficient use of the vertical space of the ocean, while taking into account both oyster farming and coral cultivation, and also play a positive role in the restoration of nearshore marine resources.

[0044] In summary, the artificial reef in this embodiment combines five functions: fish attraction, coral cultivation, oyster cultivation, benthic organism enrichment, and adsorption of heavy metals in water, forming a virtuous cycle of complementary functions.

[0045] The artificial reef in this embodiment adopts a modular structure to form, for example... Figure 3 , Figure 4 or Figure 5 The various artificial reef structures 200 shown are as follows; and compared with the prior art, the artificial reef in this embodiment utilizes the orderly structure formed by their interpenetration, stacking and nesting to ensure that its overall structure is more stable, such as being able to maintain stable operation under the influence of complex geological environment and ocean dynamics.

[0046] Within the same volume of space, the artificial reef in this embodiment provides more living space for juvenile fish and cephalopods to forage, rest, and avoid predators, and the overall design structure is simple and low in cost.

[0047] The oyster shells 3 laid on the reef 1 facilitate the attachment of marine organisms. At the same time, the oyster shells 3 have a special physical structure, which may include a cuticle, a prismatic layer and a nacreous layer. Its structure is relatively loose and has a large number of micropores of 2 to 10 μm, which have a strong adsorption capacity and can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Therefore, the artificial reef in this embodiment has the function of adsorbing heavy metals in the water.

[0048] Furthermore, with the oyster production increasing dramatically each year, more than 10 million tons of waste oyster shells are dumped as solid waste in landfills or used for land reclamation. Therefore, using waste oyster shells as heavy metal adsorbents for marine ecological restoration can achieve the goal of "treating waste with waste".

[0049] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
