Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water environment restoration, specifically to a modular biodegradable underwater forest support. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of global environmental problems, water pollution has become one of the major threats to ecosystems and human health. In the field of water environment remediation, how to effectively restore and maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems has become a key focus of research and practice. Submerged plants, as a crucial component of aquatic ecosystems, can absorb nutrients from the water, increase dissolved oxygen, inhibit excessive algal growth, and provide habitats for fish and other aquatic organisms. They are an indispensable part of restoring the self-purification capacity and biodiversity of water bodies.

[0003] Traditional methods of planting submerged plants in deeper waters, such as direct seeding, often face problems like low survival rates and uneven distribution. Especially in the complex and ever-changing underwater environment, ensuring effective seedling implantation and healthy growth has become a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular, biodegradable underwater forest support structure that is simple in overall structure, ecological, and easy to operate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A modular, biodegradable underwater forest support for placing aquatic plants includes several sets of egg trays connected in series by a fixing device. Each egg tray has several egg holders, and each egg holder contains an aquatic plant planting trough for placing aquatic plants. The aquatic plants are surrounded by a soil layer, and the soil layer is surrounded by an aquatic plant substrate layer with a porous structure to provide a good habitat for microorganisms.

[0007] Preferably, the aquatic plant substrate layer includes a modified substrate layer, which wraps around the soil layer. The modified substrate layer includes modified zeolite, diatomaceous earth, or a mixture of modified substrate and microbial material. The modified zeolite has strong adsorption properties, which helps stabilize the pH value of the water. Its porous structure also provides a good habitat for microorganisms, thereby enhancing the water purification capacity. The diatomaceous earth also has a porous structure and excellent air permeability, which ensures that the roots of submerged plants can obtain sufficient oxygen, which is conducive to root health. Furthermore, diatomaceous earth is a natural inorganic material that does not pollute the environment.

[0008] Preferably, the aquatic plant substrate layer further includes a plant fiber layer, which wraps around the modified substrate layer to provide an attachment carrier for aquatic plants and also has an adsorption effect, thereby improving plant habitat conditions and enhancing the biodiversity of the ecosystem.

[0009] Preferably, the plant fiber layer comprises wheat straw, coconut husk fiber, or rice or corn straw.

[0010] Preferably, the plant fiber layer is wrapped with honeycomb paper for temporarily wrapping the aquatic plant, the aquatic plant substrate layer, and the soil layer.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing device includes a fixing rope and a connecting ring for connecting and fixing several sets of egg trays; each set of egg trays is fixed to the fixing rope on both sides by the connecting ring, and several sets of egg trays are connected in series by the fixing rope to form an egg tray layer, which is convenient for storage and uniform placement on the bottom of the water.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting ring includes a fixing ring and a fixing buckle. The corners of each set of egg trays are threaded through the fixing ring onto the fixing rope, and the beginning and end of the fixing ring are fixedly connected by the fixing buckle.

[0013] Preferably, the egg tray is made of pulp, which is easy to degrade. Waterproof materials and reinforcing agents are added to the pulp to increase the hardness and waterproof effect of the egg tray.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention improves the method of planting submerged plants in deep water through structures such as egg trays, honeycomb paper, and mixed substrates. Its multiple functions, including environmental friendliness, ease of maintenance, promotion of biodiversity, and water purification, make it an ideal tool for water body management and ecological restoration. By setting up an egg tray-like support to provide a planting space for aquatic plants and using biodegradable materials, this invention not only reduces environmental pollution but also gradually decomposes as the plants grow, providing more growth space and nutrients for the plants and partially improving the bottom sediment, thus achieving eco-friendly restoration.

[0016] This invention features a simple and eco-friendly overall structure and is highly operable. It achieves the dual goals of ecological benefits and landscape beautification, contributing to the construction of a healthy and sustainable aquatic ecosystem. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a modular biodegradable underwater forest support for placing aquatic plants. The support includes several sets of egg trays 8. The egg trays 8 are fixed to the fixing ropes 6 on both sides by connecting rings 7 to form egg tray layers. The sets of egg trays 8 are connected in series by the fixing ropes 6. The egg trays 8 can be stacked during transportation to facilitate transport to the boat. When the boat reaches the planned location for placing submerged plants, the egg trays 8 are carefully and sequentially placed into the water along the fixing ropes 6 while the boat is moving. The egg trays 8 are then arranged in rows of submerged plants on the bottom of the water.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the egg tray 8 is provided with several egg trays 2, and each egg tray 2 is provided with an aquatic plant planting trough 3. The aquatic plant planting trough 3 is used to place aquatic plants 1. The inner side of the aquatic plant 1 is wrapped with a soil layer 4, which is the soil that the aquatic plant 1 was carried from the base when it was transplanted. The outer side is wrapped with an aquatic plant substrate layer 5 and placed in the aquatic planting trough 3.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the planting ratio of aquatic plants 1 can be adjusted in the corresponding aquatic plant planting trough according to actual needs. A single variety or different varieties of aquatic plants can be planted, and aquatic plants with densities of 50 plants / m2, 100 plants / m2, and 150 plants / m2 can be planted.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the size of the aquatic plant planting trough 3 can be determined according to the bottom size of the aquatic plant 1 and the aquatic plant substrate layer 5, and the same or different kinds of aquatic plants can be planted in it.

[0030] The aquatic plant substrate layer 5 has a porous structure to provide a good habitat for microorganisms. The aquatic plant substrate layer 5 includes a modified substrate layer 503 and a plant fiber layer 502. The modified substrate layer 503 is wrapped around the soil layer 4, and the plant fiber layer 502 is wrapped around the modified substrate layer 503.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the modified matrix layer 503 comprises modified zeolite, diatomaceous earth, or a mixture of modified matrix and microbial material. Modified zeolite has strong adsorption properties, used to stabilize the pH value of the water, and its porous structure also provides a good habitat for microorganisms, thereby enhancing the water purification capacity. Diatomaceous earth also adopts a porous structure and has excellent air permeability, ensuring that the roots of submerged plants can obtain sufficient oxygen, which is conducive to root health. Moreover, diatomaceous earth is a natural inorganic material that does not pollute the environment.

[0032] In addition, after the improved matrix layer 503 is placed in the river or lake for a period of time, a new matrix layer will be formed on the upper part of the bottom of the water, which can improve the bottom sediment of the river or lake. The modified zeolite, microorganisms and other materials in the mixed filler of the improved matrix layer 5 have a certain improvement effect on the river or lake with poor bottom sediment foundation.

[0033] The plant fiber layer 502 comprises wheat straw, coconut husk fiber, or rice / corn straw. The plant fiber layer 502 serves as an attachment carrier for aquatic plants 1 and also has an adsorption effect, improving plant habitat conditions, enhancing ecosystem biodiversity, and causing no environmental pollution.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plant fiber layer 502 is wrapped with honeycomb paper 501, which is used to temporarily wrap the aquatic plant 1, the aquatic plant substrate layer 5, and the soil layer 4. The honeycomb paper 501 is made of natural fibers and is also a biodegradable material. The honeycomb paper 501 wrapping can protect the seedlings of submerged plants from mechanical damage, external impacts, and predators during transportation and planting, ensuring that more seedlings survive and take root successfully.

[0035] On the other hand, it can stabilize the position of plants in the early stages, prevent water erosion and disturbance from aquatic animals, and help plants adapt to the new environment and grow faster.

[0036] Furthermore, after submerged plants are placed in water, the honeycomb paper 501 gradually releases its contained trace nutrients and microorganisms as it degrades, providing initial nutritional support and helping the plants quickly establish root systems in the new environment. The zeolite inside also forms a zeolite layer at the bottom of rivers and lakes, which plays a beneficial role in adsorbing pollutants in the water.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting ring 7 includes a fixing ring 702 and a fixing buckle 701. The corners of each set of egg trays 8 are threaded onto the fixing rope 6 through the fixing ring 702, and the beginning and end of the fixing ring 702 are fixedly connected by the fixing buckle 701.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two sides of the egg tray 8 are fixed to the fixing rope 6 by four connecting rings 7, and the four connecting rings 7 are connected to the four corners of the egg tray 8.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the egg tray 8 is provided with multiple aquatic plant planting troughs 3; the aquatic plant planting troughs 3 are planted with the same or different kinds of aquatic plants.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the egg tray 8 is made of paper pulp, which is easy to degrade. Waterproof materials and reinforcing agents are added to the paper pulp to increase the hardness and waterproof effect of the egg tray 8.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing rope 6 is made of hemp rope, which is a biodegradable material, and its length is adjusted according to the planting area, density and planting range required by the actual project.

[0042] The operation method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] Step S1: Take the aquatic plant 1 wrapped in soil layer 4 out of the planting base, then wrap the outside of the soil layer with the improved substrate layer 503 configured in a certain proportion, then wrap the outside of the improved substrate layer 503 with the plant fiber layer 502 configured in a certain proportion, and finally wrap the honeycomb paper 501 on the outermost side.

[0044] Step S2: According to the size of its substrate layer, poke holes of the appropriate size in the aquatic plant planting trough 3 on the egg tray 8 for the wrapped aquatic plants.

[0045] Step S3: Then insert the wrapped aquatic plants one by one into the plant planting trough 3.

[0046] In this step, the underwater planting density can be controlled according to the construction plan requirements, and the same or different types of aquatic plants can be planted.

[0047] Step S4: Connect the egg trays 8 with the connecting rings 7 at the four corners, and then connect and fix the egg trays 8 to the fixing ropes 6 via the connecting rings 7, arranging them neatly in sequence. Specifically, the fixing rings 702 are wrapped around the fixing ropes 6 and tied to the fixing buckles 701 for connection.

[0048] Step S5: After the egg tray 8 is fixed to the fixing rope 6, it can be stacked and carried onto the construction boat.

[0049] Step S6: After the boat reaches the fixed point, slowly lower the egg tray 8 into the water along the fixed rope 6, dropping the eggs while the boat is moving to ensure they are placed on the bottom of the water.

[0050] This invention improves the method of planting submerged plants in deep water through structures such as egg trays, honeycomb paper, and mixed substrates. Its multiple functions, including environmental friendliness, ease of maintenance, promotion of biodiversity, and water purification, make it an ideal tool for water body management and ecological restoration. By setting up an egg tray-like support to provide a planting space for aquatic plants and using biodegradable materials, this invention not only reduces environmental pollution but also gradually decomposes as the plants grow, providing more growth space and nutrients for the plants and partially improving the bottom sediment, thus achieving eco-friendly restoration.

[0051] This invention features a simple and eco-friendly overall structure and is highly operable. It achieves the dual goals of ecological benefits and landscape beautification, contributing to the construction of a healthy and sustainable aquatic ecosystem.
