TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the artificial fish reef technical field especially relates to an automatic dredging artificial fish reef. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, due to the pollution of marine environment and the overfishing of human, the survival and reproduction of marine organisms, fish and plants are seriously threatened, which seriously affects the marine ecological system. The core idea of ecological sea embankment is firstly to ensure the safety of the embankment, to consume part of storm surge energy by using natural or artificial block structure, and to assist the hard sea embankment to resist water and wave; Secondly, to reduce the damage of wave scouring to the embankment foot, and to protect the hard structure itself; Finally, to promote ecological restoration and provide artificial auxiliary survival and reproduction sites for marine organisms, and to improve the service function of the coastal ecological system. Artificial fish reefs can improve the ecological environment of the sea area, provide food, shelter, growth and reproduction places for fish and marine organisms, and create a good marine habitat. However, the traditional artificial fish reefs are usually submerged in seawater for a long time, and when storm surge attacks, a large amount of silt will accumulate in the fish reefs, which will greatly reduce the index of the empty space rate and the surface area rate of the fish reefs, even below the standard value, resulting in the gradual loss of the basic function and effect of the fish reefs. At present, the common dredging method for ordinary artificial fish reefs is to lift the whole fish reef group and remove the silt by manual dredging. However, the number of fish reef groups is usually 20~30, and manual cleaning is extremely labor-intensive, material-intensive and cost-intensive, and the efficiency is very low. Moreover, for the high storm surge area, this cleaning method is more complicated. Considering the high labor cost at present, the lifting equipment and transportation equipment all need to consume energy, and the carbon emission is more, which is contrary to the current concept of environmental protection, low carbon and energy saving.

[0004] As a preferred scheme, the helical blades are fixedly connected with the center column through a second connecting rod.
[0005] As a preferred scheme, the helical blades are in a spiral blade structure, and adjacent blades are symmetrically arranged.
[0006] As a preferred solution, the first flow hole and the second flow hole are trapezoidal structures, and the total flow area of the first flow hole and the second flow hole of each face is equal.

[0012] (2) The springs sleeved on the two ends of the central column are used to convert the kinetic energy of the linear motion of the central column into elastic potential energy when the sea water rises and recedes, and then the elastic potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the linear motion of the central column, which helps the central column to rotate linearly reciprocatingly inside the fish reef, and increases the silt cleaning efficiency;
[0013] (3) The fish reef does not need to be additionally provided with a power source, and relies on the tidal energy of the sea water rising and receding as the power source, which is energy-saving and environment-friendly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
