Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coral transplantation technology, specifically to an artificial reef for coral transplantation. Background Technology

[0002] Coral transplantation is an important ecological restoration method for addressing global coral reef degradation. Researchers have drawn on plant cultivation techniques to develop an asexual reproduction and transplantation method for corals: healthy coral fragments are collected, cultivated to a stable state in an artificial environment, and then transplanted to the target sea area.

[0003] For example, the patent application CN218869096U discloses an artificial reef for coral transplantation, which relates to the field of artificial reef technology. It includes an artificial reef with a counterweight fixed to its bottom, a post fixed to the bottom of the counterweight, and a block fixed to the bottom of the post. The counterweight has a groove containing a control mechanism, and the post has a slot containing a stabilizing mechanism. The control mechanism includes a moving plate that slides on the inner wall of the groove. The patent states that when the artificial reef is deployed to the seabed, the cooperation of the transmission plate, connecting rod, moving plate, limiting rod, and stabilizing mechanism allows the post to move out of the slot and into the soil, thereby improving the artificial reef's pull-out resistance and stability. This prevents the artificial reef from shifting due to strong seabed currents, which could cause corals to fall off and affect coral aquaculture.

[0004] However, the artificial reef mentioned in the patent is a closed structure, while corals need to be exposed to sunlight after transplantation. Therefore, only the surface of the artificial reef in the patent is suitable for coral transplantation. However, due to the limited number of fixed points on its surface, the transplantation process is quite complicated. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] An artificial reef for coral transplantation includes a PVC connecting pipe 101, on which a transplant ring 102 is fixedly installed. Connecting blocks 103 are fixedly installed at both ends of the PVC connecting pipe 101. Connecting holes 104 are provided on the connecting blocks 103. A support mechanism 105 is provided in the connecting holes 104. The support mechanism 105 includes a PVC horizontal support pipe 106. The PVC connecting pipe 101 is fixedly installed on the outside of the PVC horizontal support pipe 106. A T-joint 201 is fixedly installed at one end of the PVC horizontal support pipe 106. A PVC vertical support pipe 202 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the T-joint 201. A base mechanism 203 is provided at the bottom end of the vertical support pipe.

[0024] The above scheme allows connecting blocks to be connected via connecting holes, which in turn connects and secures the PVC connecting pipes. This secure connection then fixes the transplant ring, which provides support for the transplanted coral. Over time, algae can grow on the transplant ring, providing nutrients for the coral. Connecting blocks on the horizontal PVC support pipes provide support, and T-joints allow for pipe assembly. Vertical PVC support blocks further support the horizontal PVC support blocks, thus providing support for the coral.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the support mechanism 105 further includes a four-way connector 204 and a support block 206. The four-way connector 204 is fixedly installed on the end of the PVC horizontal support pipe 106 away from the three-way connector 201, and a PVC vertical support pipe 202 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the four-way connector 204.

[0026] The above solution allows the PVC vertical support pipe, PVC horizontal support pipe, and PVC longitudinal support block to be connected using a four-way connector, thus completing the overall assembly.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, a PVC longitudinal support pipe 205 is fixedly installed on the side of the four-way connector 204 away from the PVC vertical support pipe 202, and the PVC longitudinal support pipe 205 is fixedly installed on the side of the three-way connector 201 away from the PVC horizontal support pipe 106.

[0028] The above solution uses PVC longitudinal support pipes to provide longitudinal support for the overall support structure.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the support block 206 is fixedly installed on the outside of the PVC vertical support rod, and a PVC diagonal brace tube 301 is fixedly installed between the support blocks 206.

[0030] The above scheme allows for the assembly of PVC diagonal bracing pipes using support blocks. These pipes generate diagonal bracing forces between the PVC vertical support pipes, ensuring the stability of the overall support structure even under surging seawater conditions.

[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, the base mechanism 203 includes a fixed support 302, a fixed block 303 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed support 302, a fixed hole 304 is formed on the fixed block 303, and a PVC vertical support pipe 202 is fixedly installed in the fixed hole 304.

[0032] The above solution allows the PVC vertical support pipe to be installed through the fixing holes, thus enabling the overall support structure to be assembled with the fixing blocks and the fixing platform.

[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixed support 302 has an insertion hole 305 on the side near the fixed block 303, and an insertion rod 306 is fixedly installed in the insertion hole 305, with a limit block 401 fixedly installed at the top of the insertion rod 306.

[0034] The above scheme allows for the installation of the insertion rod through the insertion hole. Inserting the insertion rod through the insertion hole into the seabed ensures the stability of the fixed support. The insertion rod can be limited by the limiting block.

[0035] In this embodiment of an artificial coral reef for transplantation, the user prefabricates the fixing support 302 using concrete and uses a mold to pre-reserve the fixing block 303, fixing hole 304, and insertion hole 305. After the fixing support 302 is cured, the user hoists it to the seabed through the insertion hole 305 and places it stably. After the fixing support 302 is placed, the user inserts the insertion rod 306 into the insertion hole 305 and drives the insertion rod 306 into the seabed to fix the fixing support 302 and prevent it from moving underwater. Then, on the ground, the user installs the PVC vertical support pipe 202, PVC longitudinal support pipe 205, and PVC horizontal support pipe 106 into the tee joint 201, and simultaneously installs the connector into the PVC horizontal support pipe 106 through the connection hole 104, thus completing the installation of the PVC connector 101 and the transplant ring 102. Finally, the user connects the PVC vertical support pipe 202, PVC longitudinal support pipe 205, and PVC horizontal support pipe 106 through the four-way connector 204. Connect the components 06 and install the support block 206 along with the PVC diagonal brace on the PVC vertical support pipe 202 to complete the assembly of the overall support structure. After assembly, place the entire structure into seawater so that the inside of the pipe is immersed in seawater, allowing the support structure to enter the seabed. Once on the seabed, the user assembles the PVC vertical support pipe 202 through the fixing hole 304, thus fixing the overall support mechanism 105 to the fixing support 302 through the fixing block 303. After the entire structure is fixed, the user places the coral to be transplanted onto the cultivation base and places the cultivation base into the transplant ring 102, providing support for the coral. During long-term cultivation, the alkaline substances in the concrete are neutralized by the scouring of seawater, resulting in the growth of a large amount of algae on the fixing support 302 and the PVC pipe components, especially around the transplant ring 102, where a patch of algae will spread. The algae and the plankton within them can provide nutrients for the coral. With artificial treatment of the marine environment, the transplanted coral can grow rapidly.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
