Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine ranching, specifically a double X-shaped steel structure artificial reef. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy and society and the continuous growth of its population, my country's nearshore fishery resources have seriously declined, the aquatic ecological environment has deteriorated, and aquatic desertification has become increasingly obvious due to many factors such as environmental pollution, engineering construction, and overfishing. This has seriously affected the protection and sustainable use of my country's marine biological resources.
[0003] Marine ranching is a fishery model based on the principles of marine ecosystems. In specific sea areas, it involves constructing or restoring habitats for marine organisms to reproduce, produce, forage, or seek refuge through artificial reefs and stock enhancement. This aims to increase and conserve fishery resources, improve the marine ecological environment, and achieve sustainable utilization of fishery resources. Artificial reef construction is a primary measure in marine ranching and is a globally recognized effective method for improving the marine ecological environment and restoring and increasing damaged fishery resources. Research and practice have proven that deploying artificial reefs first provides a substrate for marine algae and attached organisms. Marine algae can improve water quality and absorb nutrients from seawater, thus preventing eutrophication and red tides. They also serve as natural food for many organisms. Practice in many areas has shown that the effects of artificial reef deployment become apparent within six months to a year, with abundant algae on the reefs and rich fish resources in the reef area. Therefore, artificial reef construction not only restores algae and attached organism resources but also provides natural shelters, foraging grounds, and nurseries for many organisms. Combined with the stock enhancement, it plays a positive role in restoring fishery resources, increasing fishery production, and especially enhancing the development potential of marine fisheries. The effectiveness of artificial reef deployment depends on the materials, structure, weight, and specifications of the artificial reef itself, as well as natural marine factors, especially the structure, substrate type, water depth, and current.
[0004] Current reinforced concrete artificial reefs are hollow, one-piece reefs with fixed lengths and spacing of corrugated cement panels, limiting their applicability. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above problems, namely the problems raised in the background art, this utility model proposes a double X-shaped steel structure artificial reef, which includes a cuboid frame, with corresponding cross-shaped stabilizing rods at both ends of the cuboid frame, and corresponding inclined slot plates fixedly connected to the four corners of the cuboid frame, and a sliding slot plate fixedly connected to the middle of the connection of a pair of cross-shaped stabilizing rods.
[0006] The four corners of the slide plate are respectively provided with corresponding inclined grooves one, and the inclined grooves two of a set of inclined groove plates correspond to the inclined grooves one of the slide plate in terms of slope.
[0007] Each corrugated cement slab is fixedly connected to a slide rod 1 and a slide rod 2 at one end. Each slide rod 1 is matched with the corresponding inclined groove 1, and each slide rod 2 is matched with the corresponding inclined groove 2.
[0008] A top rod is slidably installed between adjacent slide rods, and each top rod is slidably placed in the corresponding inclined groove. A top rod is slidably installed between adjacent slide rods, and each top rod matches the corresponding inclined groove.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that: one set of the top rods consists of diagonal rods with the same cross-section but different lengths, and another set of the top rods consists of diagonal rods with the same cross-section but different lengths.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the long, complex frame is a steel frame.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the connection points of the pair of cross-shaped stabilizing rods are staggered with a set of inclined grooves to avoid interference.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the length of each of the water ripple plates 3 is the same as the length of the corresponding slide bar one and slide bar two.
[0013] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting adjustable sliding rods and top rods, the length and spacing of the corrugated cement plates can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adapting to the requirements of different sea areas and water depths and improving the applicability of artificial reefs. The rectangular frame is equipped with cross-shaped stabilizing rods at both ends to ensure the stability of the overall structure. The setting of inclined groove plates and sliding groove plates makes the connection between various components tight, further enhancing the stability of the reef. The double X-shaped structure is conducive to the attachment and habitat of marine organisms, providing a place for marine organisms to reproduce, produce, forage, and avoid predators, which helps to restore and increase fishery resources. Compared with traditional integrated reinforced concrete artificial reefs, this device can adjust the structure according to actual needs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] This utility model proposes a double X-shaped steel structure artificial reef. When using this device, select a cement corrugated plate 3 of appropriate width according to the required needs, and select a number of top rods 10 and 21 of matching length, so that the length of each cement corrugated plate 3 and the corresponding set of top rods 10 and 21 matches the length of the corresponding inclined groove (the appropriate length of cement corrugated plate 3 and top rods can be selected according to the usage). When installing a pair of cement corrugated plates 3, first slide the top rods 10 and 21 located in the middle into the corresponding inclined grooves 18 and 27 respectively, then slide the sliding rods 19 and 25 of the pair of cement corrugated plates 3 into the corresponding inclined grooves 18 and 27 respectively, and then slide the top rods 10 and 21 located at both ends into the corresponding inclined grooves 18 and 27 respectively. Use auxiliary tools to squeeze a set of top rods 10 and 21 from both ends. Rod 1 (2) 9, so that the top rod and the sliding rod of the corrugated cement plate 3 fit tightly together to prevent the corrugated cement plate 3 from shaking after installation. After adjustment, the top rod 10 and the top rod 2 11 at both ends are fixed to the sliding groove plate 6 and the inclined groove plate 4 by welding. At this time, the installation of a pair of corrugated cement plates 3 is completed. The remaining corrugated cement plates 3 can be installed in sequence. The operation process is the same and will not be described again. This utility model, by setting adjustable sliding rods and top rods, allows the length and spacing of the corrugated cement plates to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adapting to the requirements of different sea areas and water depths and improving the applicability of artificial reefs.
