Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine ecological restoration technology, specifically to an artificial ecological seagrass bed. Background Technology
[0002] Marine ecological restoration refers to the process of restoring damaged or degraded marine ecosystems. It is an ecological process that combines human intervention with natural mechanisms. Marine ecological restoration plays an important role in several aspects, as follows:
[0003] Restoring Biodiversity: By restoring damaged ecosystems, the structure of biological communities can be re-established or restored, thereby increasing marine biodiversity. This is crucial for maintaining marine ecological balance and stability. Improving the Ecological Environment: Marine ecological restoration helps improve the marine ecological environment, including water quality and seabed sediment, providing better living and reproductive conditions for marine life. Enhancing Ecosystem Service Functions: Healthy marine ecosystems provide multiple services, such as providing food, regulating climate, and purifying water. By restoring damaged ecosystems, these services can be enhanced, providing greater ecological benefits for humanity. Promoting Sustainable Development: Marine ecological restoration helps protect and restore marine resources, thereby supporting the sustainable development of marine industries. This is of great significance for promoting economic prosperity and social stability.
[0004] Seagrass beds, as an important component of the marine ecosystem, have immeasurable ecological value. Seagrass releases oxygen through photosynthesis, providing essential living conditions for marine life; at the same time, its complex leaf structure provides habitats, breeding grounds, and foraging grounds for numerous marine organisms, playing a crucial role in maintaining marine biodiversity. The construction of artificial seagrass beds has become one of the important means of marine ecological restoration.
[0005] However, in practical applications, existing technologies for artificial seagrass beds have significant shortcomings in terms of planting spacing. Most artificial seagrass beds use a fixed spacing planting pattern, which, once determined, is difficult to adjust according to actual conditions. Environmental parameters in different sea areas, such as light intensity, water flow velocity, and nutrient content, vary considerably, and seagrass also has different spatial and resource requirements at different growth stages. Fixed planting spacing cannot meet these complex and variable needs, thus restricting seagrass growth and significantly reducing the effectiveness of ecological restoration. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artificial ecological seagrass bed to address the significant shortcomings of traditional artificial seagrass beds mentioned in the background section regarding planting spacing. Most artificial seagrass beds employ a fixed planting spacing pattern, which, once determined, is difficult to adjust according to actual conditions. Environmental parameters in different sea areas, such as light intensity, water flow velocity, and nutrient content, vary considerably, and seagrass also has different spatial and resource requirements at different growth stages. Fixed planting spacing cannot meet these complex and variable needs, thus restricting seagrass growth and significantly reducing the effectiveness of ecological restoration.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a seagrass bed body, with lifting rings fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the seagrass bed body, and support screws threaded through the four corners of the lower end of the seagrass bed body, with ground nails for drilling into the seabed surface welded to the bottom of the support screws;
[0008] The upper end of the seagrass bed body is supported and fixedly installed on both sides with first limiting slide rods. The upper end of the first limiting slide rods is movably connected to an adjustment platform. The upper end of the seagrass bed body is supported and rotatably connected to a first adjusting screw through a bearing seat. The two ends of the first adjusting screw are threaded with adjusting blocks. The outer side of the adjustment platform is provided with a limiting slide groove. The inner end of the adjustment platform is fixedly installed with a second limiting slide rod. The two ends of the second limiting slide rod are movably connected to a planting platform through a bearing seat. The outer side of the adjustment platform is supported and rotatably connected to a second adjusting screw. The planting platform is fixedly installed with a planting cylinder for planting seagrass bed vegetation through its center.
[0009] Preferably, there are four lifting rings, with two lifting rings forming a group, and the two groups of lifting rings are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower end of the seaweed bed body.
[0010] Preferably, there are four support screws, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the lower end of the seaweed bed body. The upper end of each support screw is threaded with a fixing nut for locking and fastening the support screw.
[0011] Preferably, there are two first limiting slide bars, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the upper end of the seagrass bed body.
[0012] Preferably, the outer curved threads at both ends of the first adjusting screw face opposite directions, and a fixing nut for locking and tightening the first adjusting screw is connected to the outer curved thread at the side end of the first adjusting screw.
[0013] Preferably, the adjusting block is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the adjusting platform, and the outer side of the planting platform is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting slide groove.
[0014] Preferably, the outer curved threads at both ends of the second adjusting screw face opposite directions, and a fixing nut for locking and tightening the second adjusting screw is connected to the outer curved thread at the side end of the second adjusting screw. The second adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the outside of the planting platform.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] When the main body of the seagrass bed is hoisted into the seabed, the planting cylinder is used to plant the seagrass vegetation. When the planting cylinder is planting the seagrass vegetation, the support screw is rotated. When the support screw rotates, the support screw will move downward due to the force generated by the threaded connection between the support screw and the four corners of the lower end of the seagrass bed. When the support screw moves downward, it will drive the ground nail to move downward. When the ground nail moves downward, it will drill into the seabed. When the ground nail drills into the seabed, it is easy to position the main body of the seagrass bed on the seabed.
[0017] This invention also allows for simultaneous adjustment of the planting spacing by rotating the first adjusting screw, which, due to the force generated by the threaded connection, moves the seagrass bed vegetation inside the planting cylinder in a linear motion outward or inward. Simultaneously, rotating the second adjusting screw, due to the force generated by the threaded connection, moves the planting cylinder in a linear motion outward or inward. This movement of the planting cylinder, in turn, moves the seagrass bed vegetation inside the planting cylinder in a linear motion outward or inward, adjusting the planting spacing. This allows the main body of the seagrass bed to be positioned on the seabed while simultaneously facilitating the adjustment of the planting spacing by moving the seagrass bed vegetation inside the planting cylinder in a linear motion outward or inward.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for an artificial ecological seagrass bed: it includes a seagrass bed body 1, with four lifting rings 13 fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the seagrass bed body 1, with two lifting rings 13 forming a group. The two groups of lifting rings 13 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower end of the seagrass bed body 1, so that the seagrass bed body 1 can be lifted by the lifting rings 13 in conjunction with external lifting equipment. The four corners of the lower end of the seagrass bed body 1 are threaded with support screws 2, and there are four support screws 2, which are symmetrically distributed on the four corners of the lower end of the seagrass bed body 1. The upper end of the support screws 2 is threaded with a fixing nut for locking and fastening the support screws 2. The bottom of the support screws 2 is welded with a ground nail 3 for drilling into the seabed.
[0024] Two first limiting slide rods 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the seaweed bed body 1. These first limiting slide rods 4 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the upper end of the seaweed bed body 1. An adjusting platform 5 is movably connected to the upper sides of the first limiting slide rods 4, allowing for linear movement and limiting of the adjusting platform 5 via the first limiting slide rods 4. A first adjusting screw 6 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end of the seaweed bed body 1 via a bearing seat. The two ends of the first adjusting screw 6 have opposite external curved surface threads. A fixing nut for locking and tightening the first adjusting screw 6 is connected to the external curved surface threads at the side end of the first adjusting screw 6. Adjusting blocks 7 are connected to the external curved surface threads at both ends of the first adjusting screw 6, and the adjusting blocks 7 are fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the adjusting platform 5. A limiting slide is provided on the outer side of the adjusting platform 5. The second limiting slide rod 9 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the adjusting platform 5 via the sliding groove 8. The two ends of the second limiting slide rod 9 are movably connected to the planting platform 10 by limiting and fitting the outer curved surfaces. The outer side of the planting platform 10 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting slide groove 8, so that the planting platform 10 can be linearly moved and limited by the second limiting slide rod 9 in conjunction with the limiting slide groove 8. The outer side of the adjusting platform 5 is rotatably connected to the second adjusting screw 11 by bearing seat support. The outer curved surface threads of the second adjusting screw 11 at both ends face opposite directions. The outer curved surface threads of the second adjusting screw 11 are connected to the fixing nut for locking and tightening the second adjusting screw 11. The second adjusting screw 11 is threaded through and connected to the outer side of the planting platform 10. The planting cylinder 12 for planting seagrass bed vegetation is fixedly installed through the middle of the planting platform 10.
[0025] Working principle: In use, this utility model uses the lifting ring 13 in conjunction with external lifting equipment to lift the seagrass bed body 1, so that the seagrass bed body 1 is lifted into the seabed. When the seagrass bed body 1 is lifted into the seabed, the seagrass bed vegetation is planted through the planting cylinder 12. When the planting cylinder 12 is planting the seagrass bed vegetation, the support screw 2 is rotated. When the support screw 2 rotates, the support screw 2 will move downward due to the force generated by the threaded connection between the support screw 2 and the four corners of the lower end of the seagrass bed body 1. When the support screw 2 moves downward, it will drive the ground nail 3 to move downward. When the ground nail 3 moves downward, it will drill into the seabed. When the ground nail 3 drills into the seabed, the seagrass bed body 1 can be easily positioned on the seabed.
[0026] When the seagrass bed body 1 is positioned on the seabed, rotating the first adjusting screw 6, with the threads on both ends of the first adjusting screw 6 facing opposite directions, causes the adjusting block 7 to move synchronously outward or inward due to the force generated by the threaded connection. When the adjusting block 7 moves synchronously outward or inward, it causes the adjusting platform 5 to move synchronously outward or inward along the outer curved surface of the first limiting slide rod 4. When the adjusting platform 5 moves synchronously outward or inward, it synchronously moves the seagrass bed vegetation planted inside the planting cylinder 12, adjusting the planting spacing. Simultaneously, rotating the second adjusting screw 11, with the threads on both ends of the second adjusting screw 11... The opposite orientation allows the planting platform 10 to move synchronously outward or inward along the outer curved surface of the second limiting slide rod 9 and the inner wall of the limiting slide groove 8 when the second adjusting screw 11 rotates. When the planting platform 10 moves synchronously outward or inward, it will drive the planting cylinder 12 to move synchronously outward or inward. When the planting cylinder 12 moves synchronously outward or inward, it will drive the seagrass bed vegetation planted inside the planting cylinder 12 to move synchronously outward or inward to adjust the planting spacing. This allows the seagrass bed body 1 to be positioned on the seabed while facilitating the synchronous outward or inward movement of the seagrass bed vegetation planted inside the planting cylinder 12 to adjust the planting spacing.
