[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, various enterprises have sprung up, propelling the country into the industrial age. However, due to some enterprises neglecting wastewater treatment, indiscriminate discharge is commonplace, leading to a severe water resource situation in my country. Problems such as water pollution, deterioration of the aquatic ecological environment, and water shortage are becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, carrying out effective ecological restoration work has become an urgent task.
[0003] Ecological floating island technology is one of the important methods. This technology involves laying ecological floating islands on the surface of water bodies, utilizing the absorption and decomposition of pollutants by plants to purify water quality and improve the aquatic ecological environment.
[0004] In existing technologies, ecological restoration work mainly relies on manual boat operation. Workers navigate the boat to designated locations and connect, move, and plant vegetation on the floating islands. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also carries the risk of operating in adverse weather or complex aquatic environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a highly automated floating island restoration device suitable for monitoring vessels. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, during non-vegetation handling periods, the slewing direction of the telescopic boom helps balance the weight of all devices on the hull, maintaining hull stability.
[0028] This application embodiment achieves ecological floating island restoration by rationally arranging floating island displacement devices and vegetation laying devices on the hull.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is worth noting that the embodiments described in the accompanying drawings are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. That is, the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0046] The following description, in conjunction with Figures 1-8, will illustrate the ecological floating island restoration device 10 for monitoring vessels provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0047] This application provides an ecological floating island restoration device 10 for monitoring vessels, as shown in Figures 1-8, including a floating island relocation device 100, a vegetation laying device 200, and a control system.
[0048] The floating island relocation device 100 is used to be installed in the middle of the stern of the ship and includes a drive mechanism and a tow hook 110. The tow hook 110 is controlled by the drive mechanism to swing up and down to connect to the floating bed frame 30.
[0049] The vegetation placement device 200 includes a vegetation positioning mechanism 210, a vegetation transfer mechanism 220, and a vegetation picking and placing mechanism 230 arranged sequentially from bow to stern. The vegetation positioning mechanism 210 includes an automated warehouse 240 for placing vegetation blocks 245, and a positioning component for positioning the automated warehouse 240.
[0050] The vegetation transfer mechanism 220 includes a stacker crane 221, a pallet 222, and a fork 223. The stacker crane 221 is located on the side near the hull 20. The pallet 222 is slidably lifted and connected to the stacker crane 221. The fork 223 is horizontally slidably connected to the pallet 222 and is used for forking and picking up vegetation blocks 245.
[0051] The vegetation loading and unloading mechanism 230 includes a track 231, a column 232, a rotating mechanism 234, a telescopic boom 236, and a lifting frame 238. The track 231 extends along the width of the hull 20. The column 232 is slidably connected to the track 231. The upper end of the telescopic boom 236 is connected to the rotating mechanism 234 located on the upper part of the column 232 and rotates relative to the column 232. The lower end of the telescopic boom 236 is connected to the lifting frame 238 for lifting the vegetation module 245.
[0052] The upper part of the hull 20 can be a cuboid structure, used to house the aforementioned devices and sensors, and to install the hull operation system and control system. The lower part of the hull 20 has a streamlined design, which helps to reduce the drag during hull movement. In this embodiment, the lower part of the hull 20 is configured as two parallel keel floats along its length. The two keel floats have a semi-circular cross-section and are respectively positioned close to the sides of the hull 20. Corresponding to the bow position, the two keel floats extend forward and converge to form a pointed structure, further reducing the drag experienced at the bow. Corresponding to the stern position, the two keel floats form a flat plane with the upper part of the hull 20. A hinge seat is provided in the middle of this plane and a tow hook 110 is hinged to it via a pin, which facilitates the docking and dragging of the floating island displacement device 100 and the floating bed frame 30, avoiding interference.
[0053] A floating island relocation device 100 is installed at the stern. The tow hook 110 is operated to swing up and down to engage and disengage the pre-set movable handle 32 on the floating bed frame 30. Then, using the power of the hull 20, the floating bed frame 30 is moved to a designated location, avoiding the dangers of falling into the water that can occur with manual operation. The floating island relocation device 100 has a simple structure and is lightweight, and will not affect the overall balance of the hull 20 during the movement of the floating bed frame 30.
[0054] In the vegetation positioning mechanism 210, a drone can be used to lift and position the automated warehouse 240 onto the hull 20. The automated warehouse 240 is used to store vegetation modules 245 in layers, reducing the space occupied by horizontal laying on the hull 20 and facilitating subsequent loading and unloading operations by the forks 223. Furthermore, based on the load capacity and gravity balance requirements of the hull 20, the height of the automated warehouse 240 can be reduced, and the vegetation modules 245 can be transported in batches using drones, avoiding significant impact on the balance and stability of the hull 20.
[0055] In the vegetation transfer mechanism 220, the stacker crane 221 is set near the side of the hull 20, which facilitates the arrangement of pallets 222 and forks 223 on one side of the automated warehouse 240, and allows for layered operation to pick up and place vegetation blocks 245, while avoiding interference with the operation of the vegetation picking and placing mechanism 230.
[0056] The pallet 222 can be raised and lowered along the stacker crane 221 via a screw and nut mechanism. Specifically, referring to Figure 7, a stacker motor 224 is installed at the top of the stacker crane 221. The stacker motor 224 is connected to a vertically arranged ball screw, and sliding rods are installed on both sides of the ball screw. The pallet 222 is connected to a slider via an intermediate plate. The slider is threadedly connected to the ball screw and slidably connected to the sliding rods. The rotation of the stacker motor 224 causes the slider to move up and down, thereby driving the pallet 222 to move up and down. The forks 223 can be connected to a fork motor 225 via a similar screw and nut mechanism, thereby moving horizontally along the pallet 222. Of course, the pallet 222 and forks 223 can also achieve corresponding linear movements via other mechanisms such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and gear racks, which will not be elaborated further.
[0057] In the vegetation transfer mechanism 220, as shown in Figure 8, the column 232 can move on the track 231 via a linear motion mechanism such as a lead screw and nut. The rotary mechanism 234 can be a worm gear transmission mechanism. The rotary motor 235 drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, and the telescopic boom 236 is connected to the worm wheel. The telescopic boom 236 can extend or retract via a motor or cylinder. The motor achieves relative sliding between the fixed boom and the movable boom through a lead screw and nut structure or a gear and rack mechanism. When the number of movable booms is increased, a synchronization mechanism such as a connecting rod or pulley can be set to connect the nuts or gears on multiple movable booms to each other, so that the motor drives multiple movable booms to extend and retract synchronously.
[0058] A vegetation handling mechanism 230 is installed at the stern of the hull 20 near the floating island relocation device 100. A rotating mechanism 234 enables the telescopic boom 236 to reciprocate between the forks 223 and the floating bed frame 30. A lifting frame 238 is used to grab and place vegetation modules 245. The telescopic boom 236's extension and retraction, along with the rotating mechanism 234's different angles of rotation, allows for the gentle handling of vegetation modules 245 on the floating bed frame 30, moving them closer to or further away from the hull 20, preventing damage from excessive height. Furthermore, during non-vegetation handling periods, the rotation of the telescopic boom 236 helps balance the weight of all devices on the hull 20, maintaining the stability of the hull 20.
[0059] The control system is electrically connected to the control components of each device, preset sensors, the ship's operating system, and the navigation system, and communicates with the UAV. By collecting sensor signals and combining this with communication with the navigation system and the UAV, the control system automates the control of the ship's operating system and each device. When the ship 20 is navigating in the water, the control system adjusts and controls the ship's trajectory and speed. Upon reaching the floating island restoration area, the control system controls the floating island displacement device 100 to hook and connect the floating bed frame 30 to the designated area. Based on the position information of the vegetation blocks 245 in the automated warehouse 240, the control system controls the movement of the pallet 222 and forks 223 to smoothly remove the vegetation blocks 245. According to the structural configuration of the floating bed frame 30, the control system controls the vegetation picking and placing mechanism 230 to sequentially pick up the vegetation blocks 245 and arrange them on the floating bed frame 30. When new vegetation blocks 245 are needed, the control system communicates with the UAV to replace them in the automated warehouse 240.
[0060] Understandably, in some cases, when the existing vegetation blocks 245 on the floating bed frame 30 need to be removed, the control system can also control the vegetation pick-and-place mechanism 230 to sequentially complete the operation of the vegetation blocks 245 from the floating bed frame 30 to the forks 223, and control the vegetation transfer mechanism 220 to sequentially complete the operation of the vegetation blocks 245 from the forks 223 to the automated warehouse 240.
[0061] This embodiment of the application, by rationally arranging the floating island relocation device 100 and the vegetation laying device 200 on the hull 20, integrates the ecological floating island restoration function within a relatively small hull volume. It is suitable not only for wide waters but also for narrow waterways, and maintains the overall balance and stability of the hull 20 during both navigation and operation. This embodiment of the application enables automated ecological floating island restoration through the control system operating the various devices in a coordinated manner without human intervention, ensuring safety and reliability and avoiding the potential dangers associated with manual operation.
[0062] In one feasible implementation, referring to Figures 1-4, the drive mechanism includes a rocker motor 120, a sprocket frame 121, a drive sprocket 122, a driven sprocket 123, a rocker chain 124, an active rocker 125, and a transmission rod 126. The rocker motor 120 is mounted on a motor frame near the stern of the hull 20. The sprocket frame 121 is mounted between the rocker motor 120 and the tow hook 110. The drive sprocket 122 is mounted on the output shaft of the rocker motor 120. The driven sprocket 123 is mounted on the sprocket frame 121. The rocker chain 124 is mounted between the drive sprocket 122 and the driven sprocket 123. One end of the active rocker 125 is integrally connected to the shaft of the driven sprocket 123. The other end of the active rocker 125 is hinged to one end of the transmission rod 126. The other end of the transmission rod 126 is hinged to the tow hook 110.
[0063] Thus, a rocker mechanism and a tow hook 110 are installed at the stern of the monitoring vessel. A rocker motor 120 drives a passive sprocket 123, which in turn drives an active rocker arm 125 to swing, causing the tow hook 110 to rotate around its hinge axis. When the monitoring vessel approaches the floating bed frame 30, the tow hook 110 rotates downwards, hooking the movable handle 32 on the floating bed frame 30, thus connecting the hull 20 to the floating bed frame 30. When the floating bed frame 30 is moved to a designated area, the tow hook 110 rotates upwards, disengaging the hull 20 from the floating bed frame 30.
[0064] In one feasible implementation, referring to FIG4, the tow hook 110 is connected to the mounting base, the transmission rod 126 is hinged to the mounting base, and a hinged seat is mounted on the stern side of the hull 20, with the mounting base hinged to the hinged seat. An ultrasonic ranging sensor connected to the control system is provided on the stern side of the hull 20.
[0065] In this way, the tow hook 110 is connected to the side of the stern by a hinged seat and a mounting seat, so that the tow hook 110 is kept at a certain distance from the side of the stern, which is conducive to the up and down swing of the tow hook 110 and prevents interference and other problems that may be caused by the floating bed frame 30 being too close to the side of the stern.
[0066] The ultrasonic ranging sensor is used to measure the distance between the hull 20 and the floating bed frame 30, and the control system adjusts the navigation trajectory of the monitoring vessel in real time to ensure that the tow hook 110 can accurately dock with the floating bed frame 30.
[0067] In one feasible implementation, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the positioning assembly includes a first fixed clamping rod 211, a second fixed clamping rod 212, a first movable clamping member 213, and a second movable clamping member 214.
[0068] The first fixing clamping rod 211 extends along the direction from the bow to the stern and is located close to the side of the hull 20. The second fixing clamping rod 212 is perpendicular to the first fixing clamping rod 211 and is located close to the stern.
[0069] The first movable clamping member 213 includes a moving track parallel to the second fixed clamping rod 212, and a first movable clamping rod 215 that moves relatively closer to or further away from the first fixed clamping rod 211 along the moving track. The second movable clamping member 214 includes a moving track parallel to the first fixed clamping rod 211, and a second movable clamping rod 216 that moves relatively closer to or further away from the second fixed clamping rod 212 along the moving track.
[0070] The driving mechanism for the movable clamping component can be a lead screw and nut mechanism, a pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder mechanism, or a gear and rack mechanism. For example, a lead screw is provided along the extension direction of the moving track, with slide rails on both sides of the lead screw. The clamping motor 219 is connected to the lead screw through a transmission mechanism. The slider is threadedly connected to the lead screw and slides along the slide rails. The movable clamping rod is connected to the slider through a connecting plate. When the clamping motor 219 rotates forward or reverse, it drives the lead screw to move the slider, thereby moving the clamping rod closer to or away from the fixed clamping rod.
[0071] Initially, the distance between the movable clamping bar and the fixed clamping bar on the opposite side is at its maximum. When the drone transports the automated warehouse 240 carrying vegetation modules 245 to the monitoring vessel, the automated warehouse 240 is located within the space enclosed by the movable and fixed clamping bars. Operating the movable clamping bar pushes the automated warehouse 240 closer to the fixed clamping bar.
[0072] In one feasible implementation, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the first movable clamping rod 215 and the second movable clamping rod 216 are staggered along the height direction. The first movable clamping rod 215 is provided with a plurality of clamping pulleys 217 for auxiliary positioning on the side opposite to the first fixed clamping rod 211, and the second movable clamping rod 216 is provided with a plurality of clamping pulleys 217 for auxiliary positioning on the side opposite to the second fixed clamping rod 212.
[0073] A vertically upward auxiliary baffle 218 is provided at the position adjacent to the second fixed clamping member on the first fixed clamping rod 211.
[0074] The fixing clamping rod can be a rectangular square tube with a certain height, which can provide some obstruction and anti-tipping effect for the automated warehouse 240. The auxiliary baffle 218 can further assist in positioning and prevent tipping of the automated warehouse 240.
[0075] The first movable clamping rod 215 and the second movable clamping rod 216 are staggered in height to avoid interference caused by their mutual movement. The movable clamping rod can be a triangular tube with a right-angled triangular cross-section, with the side containing the right-angled side corresponding to the fixed clamping rod. A row of clamping pulleys 217 is provided on the movable clamping rod relative to the side of the automated warehouse 240 to reduce friction between the movable clamping rod and the automated warehouse 240, thereby improving positioning efficiency.
[0076] In one feasible implementation, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the automated warehouse 240 includes multiple stacked racks 241. Each rack 241 includes a frame surface 242, bottom uprights 243, top uprights 244, and side panels (not shown). The frame surface 242 has a rectangular planar frame structure. The bottom uprights 243 are connected to the corners of the lower surface of the frame surface 242, and the lower part of the bottom uprights 243 has insertion holes extending along the height direction. The top uprights 244 are connected to the corners of the upper surface of the frame surface 242, and the upper part of the top uprights 244 is configured as a column adapted to the insertion holes. Side panels are provided on all four sides of the upper surface of the frame surface 242, and the side panels have openings to facilitate the entry and exit of the forks 223.
[0077] The frame 242 consists of four side frames and crossbars connected to them. Bottom posts 243 and top posts 244 are connected to the joints of the four side frames. The bottom post 243 can be a square tube with rounded corners at its four edges. A circular insertion hole is machined inside the square tube. The top post 244 can be a cylindrical rod.
[0078] In this way, by connecting the top column 244 and the bottom column 243, a set number of placement racks 241 can be assembled to form a three-dimensional warehouse 240 of different heights, which can meet the needs of transporting different numbers of vegetation blocks 245.
[0079] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the fork 223 to pick up and put down the vegetation block 245, a protrusion can be provided on the bottom surface of the vegetation block 245 or the top surface of the placement frame 242, thereby forming a gap between the two, so that the fork 223 can enter the gap to pick up the vegetation block 245.
[0080] In one feasible implementation, a reinforcing rib is connected between the top column 244 and the placement frame surface 242, the bottom column 243 has a smooth outer surface, and the lower part of the bottom column 243 of the lowest placement rack 241 is connected to a roller.
[0081] The top column 244 is welded with triangular reinforcing ribs between itself and the placement frame 242 to further strengthen the stability of the placement frame 241 and facilitate the support of the vegetation module 245. The smooth outer surface of the bottom column 243 and the rollers connecting the bottom column 243 facilitate movement with the vegetation positioning mechanism 210 to achieve rapid positioning.
[0082] In one feasible implementation, referring to FIG3, the floating bed frame 30 is a planar frame structure formed by the interlacing of horizontal and vertical frames, with adjacent horizontal and vertical frames forming frame units 31. Guide ramps 33 are spaced apart on the upper surface of each horizontal and vertical frame, and the surfaces of the guide ramps 33 corresponding to adjacent frame units 31 are configured as downward-sloping guide surfaces. Moving handles 32 matching the tow hooks 110 are provided on the outer surfaces of the outer horizontal and vertical frames.
[0083] The frame unit 31 is adapted to the outer contour of the vegetation block 245, and the vegetation block 245 is positioned in the frame unit 31 by means of the guide block 33 through the vegetation transfer mechanism 220.
[0084] In one feasible implementation, as shown in FIG3, the guide block 33 has an isosceles triangle or isosceles trapezoid cross section, and the movable handle 32 is a circular or semi-circular handle.
[0085] In this way, the guide ramp 33 can form guide ramps on both sides of the frame unit 31. The arrangement of the movable handle 32 makes it easier to hook and connect the tow hook 110.
[0086] In one feasible implementation, referring to Figures 1 and 2, evenly distributed vegetation placement holes are provided on the vegetation block 245, and magnetic locating plates are provided between adjacent vegetation placement holes. The lifting frame 238 includes a hinge plate and a lifting plate. The hinge plate is hinged to the telescopic boom 236, and the lifting plate is connected to the outer periphery of the hinge plate. Each lifting bar corresponds to the gap between the vegetation placement holes, and an electromagnet 239 corresponding to the magnetic locating plate is provided below each lifting bar.
[0087] During operation, the initial position of the vegetation transfer mechanism 220 is set when the fork 223 is close to the bottom of the stacker crane 221 and the column 232 is close to the fork 223. After the fork 223 transports the vegetation block 245 to the starting position, the rotary motor 235 drives the telescopic boom 236 above the fork 223 via the rotary mechanism 234, and the electromagnet 239 is energized to attract and lift the vegetation block 245. According to the layout requirements of the floating bed frame 30, the column 232 moves along the track 231 to the set position, and the rotary motor 235 rotates the telescopic boom 236 above the other side of the floating bed frame 30 via the rotary mechanism 234. At the same time, the telescopic motor drives the telescopic boom 236 to extend and correspond to the top of the preset frame unit 31. The electromagnet 239 is de-energized to release the vegetation block 245. Finally, the vegetation block 245 is fixed in the frame unit 31 under the guidance of the guide block 33.
