Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial reef technology, and in particular to an artificial reef structure made from discarded steel rails and sleepers. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial reefs are man-made structures created by humans to increase fishery resources. Their purpose is to provide habitats for marine life, attracting and promoting the reproduction and growth of fish and other marine organisms. Artificial reefs have been widely used in many places and are of great significance for the protection and sustainable use of marine resources.

[0003] The primary method for handling discarded railway sleepers is the traditional solid waste recycling approach, which involves crushing and reusing them. However, this method has drawbacks, including the inability to directly utilize already formed sleepers, resulting in lower utilization efficiency. The long-term accumulation of discarded sleepers, coupled with difficulties in collection, high safety risks, and limited recycling value, remains a persistent challenge. Therefore, finding ways to utilize discarded rails and sleepers is an urgent scientific problem that needs to be solved.

[0004] Artificial reefs are man-made structures placed in the ocean to improve the living environment of marine life and increase its population. Traditional concrete artificial reefs have disadvantages such as large volume of hollow material, requiring multiple pours during construction, and high construction difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an artificial reef structure made from discarded steel rails and sleepers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An artificial reef structure made from discarded steel rails and sleepers includes several discarded steel rails arranged at intervals, several self-locking mechanisms are provided on any of the discarded steel rails at intervals, several sleepers are provided between two adjacent discarded steel rails, and the two ends of any sleeper are respectively connected to two discarded steel rails through two of the self-locking mechanisms; any sleeper is provided with a hiding room with an entrance on one side.

[0008] Preferably, any of the self-locking mechanisms includes a base, on which a groove is provided for accommodating the sleeper, and a support plate is slidably disposed in the groove, the sliding direction of the support plate being the same as the depth direction of the groove; the base is also provided with a locking unit that is throttlely connected to the support plate, and when the sleeper is placed on the support plate, the locking unit fixes the sleeper in the groove.

[0009] Preferably, the locking unit includes two push rods symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove and moving synchronously. The two push rods are respectively connected to the support plate through two transmission mechanisms. When the support plate moves towards the bottom of the groove, both push rods move into the groove.

The base has a groove extending perpendicular to the side wall of the groove. The spring and the top rod are both disposed in the groove. One end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the groove, and the other end is connected to the top rod. The pull rope is connected to the support plate after being attached to the fixed pulley.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figure 1-4 The artificial reef structure shown comprises four parallel, spaced-apart abandoned steel rails 101, with each end of an adjacent pair of abandoned steel rails 101 connected by two connecting rods 501. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In this embodiment, the main frame of the artificial reef structure is composed of four discarded steel rails 101 and eight connecting rods 501. In other embodiments of this embodiment, each artificial reef structure may also have a main frame composed of three discarded steel rails 101, five discarded steel rails 101, or other numbers of steel rails.

[0022] Specifically, in order to facilitate the connection between the sleepers 301 and the abandoned rails 101, several self-locking mechanisms 201 are installed at intervals on any abandoned rail 101, and the two ends of several sleepers 301 between two adjacent abandoned rails 101 are respectively connected to the two abandoned rails 101 through two self-locking mechanisms 201.

[0023] In addition, to facilitate the habitat of small marine animals, at least one hiding room 401 with an entrance on one side is installed on any sleeper 301, so that small marine animals can crawl into the hiding room 401 to rest or avoid predators.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, any self-locking mechanism 201 includes a base 2011, on which a groove 2012 for accommodating the end of a sleeper 301 is provided. A support plate 2013 is slidably installed in the groove 2012. Figure 4 From the perspective of the support plate 2013, the sliding direction of the support plate 2013 is the same as the depth direction of the groove 2012, both being vertical. The base 2011 is also equipped with a locking unit that is connected to the support plate 2013 in a transmission manner. When the sleeper 301 is placed on the support plate 2013, the locking unit fixes the sleeper 301 in the groove 2012.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking unit includes two push rods 2014 symmetrically installed on both sides of the groove 2012 and moving synchronously. The two push rods 2014 are respectively connected to the support plate 2013 via two transmission mechanisms. When the support plate 2013 moves towards the bottom of the groove 2012, both push rods 2014 move into the groove 2012 under the drive of the two transmission mechanisms. Each transmission mechanism includes a spring 2015, a pull rope 2016 with one end connected to the push rod 2014, and a fixed pulley 2017 rotatably installed in the base 2011. The base 2011 has a groove extending perpendicular to the side wall of the groove 2012 (from...). Figure 4From the perspective of [the viewpoint], the extension direction of the chute is horizontal. Spring 2015 and push rod 2014 are both located within the chute. Push rod 2014 is slidably connected to the chute. The left end of spring 2015 is connected to the bottom left end of the chute, and its right end is connected to the left end of push rod 2014. Pull rope 2016 is attached to fixed pulley 2017 and then connected to support plate 2013.

[0026] When the sleeper 301 is not placed in the groove 2012, the two push rods 2014 move to the left and right respectively under the action of the two springs 2015 (the left push rod 2014 moves to the left, and the right push rod 2014 moves to the right) until the structure is in a balanced state. When the sleeper 301 is placed in the groove 2012, due to its large mass (it is generally made of cast concrete), after the sleeper 301 abuts against the support plate 2013, the support plate 2013 moves downwards under the pressure of the sleeper 301. During this downward movement, the support plate 2013 drives the two push rods 2014 to move towards the sleeper 301 through the two pull ropes 2016 until the two push rods 2014 abut against the side wall of the sleeper 301. In this way, the self-locking mechanism 201 can achieve self-locking of the sleeper 301, facilitating disassembly.

[0027] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
