Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of barnacle control technology, specifically relating to a barnacle control device for mangrove plants. Background Technology
[0002] Barnacles can clog the respiratory roots of mangrove plants, hindering their gas exchange. Controlling barnacles ensures that the respiratory roots of mangrove plants can breathe normally, allowing them to better absorb oxygen from the air and provide energy for plant growth and metabolism. Furthermore, if barnacles attach to the leaves of mangrove plants, they will block sunlight, reducing the efficiency of photosynthesis. By controlling barnacles, mangrove plant leaves can receive ample sunlight, enabling efficient photosynthesis and accumulating more organic matter for plant growth.
[0003] Existing control methods mainly include chemical control and physical control. Some methods also use flexible strips to wrap around the roots of mangroves. Although these methods can play a certain role in control, they require a large amount of manpower and resources. For example, Chinese patent application number CN202120611574.8 discloses a device for controlling barnacles on mangrove plants. This device wraps a strip around the plant stem and secures it with a connector. After the barnacles attach and grow, they will partially cover the strip. When it is necessary to remove the barnacles, the connector is opened and the strip is torn off the plant stem, and the barnacles will be lifted up.
[0004] Because mangrove roots are numerous and spread over a wide area, wrapping them around the plant stems in the above manner would require a lot of time and manpower, resulting in low control efficiency and making it impractical for actual use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a barnacle control device for mangrove plants, which can protect the mangrove rootstock by using a protective net on a unit basis, and use a tensioning device to make the protective net fit tightly to the rootstock, thereby reducing the gap between the protective net and the rootstock.
[0006] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A barnacle control device for mangrove plants includes a protective net, which is formed into a cylindrical structure. A counterweight ball is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective net. A locking component is provided on the end face of the protective net. Several tensioning members are provided on the protective net, and all tensioning members face the inside of the protective net.
[0008] The locking assembly includes a connecting ring mounted on the end face of the protective net. Each side wall of the connecting ring is fixedly connected to a mounting block. One side wall of the mounting block has a circular hole, and the other side wall of the mounting block located on the same horizontal line is fixedly connected to a rod. The side wall of the rod has several positioning holes, and the rod passes through the circular hole. A cotter pin is inserted into one of the positioning holes.
[0009] The connecting ring has an open structure, and a bolt is fitted at the opening of the connecting ring.
[0010] The tensioning component includes a first hook and a second hook. The first hook is hung on the protective net. A limiting hole is opened on the end face of the first hook. The second hook is slidably connected in the limiting hole. A spring is fixedly connected between the side wall of the limiting hole and the end face of the second hook.
[0011] The protective netting is formed into a cone-shaped structure.
[0012] The protective netting is formed into an irregular shape.
[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model relates to a barnacle control device for mangrove plants. Through the cooperation of a protective net, a tensioning component, and a locking assembly, it can protect the mangrove rootstock on a per-plant basis. The protective net is used to enclose the rootstock, and the tensioning component ensures that the protective net is tightly attached to the rootstock, reducing the gap between the net and the rootstock. This allows the barnacles to adhere to the protective net, making it easier to clean the barnacles later. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a barnacle control device for mangrove plants includes a protective net 1, which is formed into a cylindrical structure. A counterweight ball 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective net 1. A locking component is provided on the end face of the protective net 1. Several tensioning members are provided on the protective net 1, and the tensioning members all face the inside of the protective net 1.
[0023] Specifically, the protective net 1 is made of elastic material and has good elasticity. In this solution, for ease of understanding, the aperture of the protective net 1 in the attached figure is set to be relatively large. In actual use, the protective net 1 is preferably made of elastic fabric, which has good air and water permeability, thereby preventing barnacles from passing through the protective net 1.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly includes a connecting ring 4 mounted on the end face of the protective net 1. Mounting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the connecting ring 4. One mounting block 6 has a circular hole on its side wall, and a rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the other mounting block 6 located on the same horizontal line. The rod 5 has several positioning holes 7 on its side wall, and the rod 5 passes through the circular hole. A cotter pin 8 is inserted into one of the positioning holes 7. The connecting ring 4 has an open structure, and bolts 2 are mounted at the open position of the connecting ring 4. The locking assembly allows adjustment of the insertion position of the cotter pins 8 according to the tightness of the protective net 1, minimizing the gap between the two ends of the protective net 1 and preventing barnacles from attaching to the mangrove roots through the gap. Furthermore, the use of bolts 2 to connect the connecting rings 4 allows users to adjust the position, angle, and number of bolts in real time, increasing installation flexibility.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the tensioning component includes a first hook 9 and a second hook 10. The first hook 9 is hung on the protective net 1. A limit hole is opened on the end face of the first hook 9. The second hook 10 is slidably connected in the limit hole. A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the side wall of the limit hole and the end face of the second hook 10.
[0026] Specifically, when there is a large space or gap between the protective net 1 and the mangrove roots, the first hook 9 can be hung on the protective net 1 and the second hook 10 can be hung on the deep roots to reduce the space between the protective net 1 and the roots and further enhance the protective effect; while the force of the spring 11 can relieve the tension between the first hook 9 and the second hook 10 to avoid excessive force causing the protective net 1 to tear.
[0027] Protective netting 1 is arranged in a cone shape. Protective netting 1 is also arranged in an irregular shape.
[0028] Because the protective net 1 is flexible as a whole, it is adjusted according to the distribution of mangrove roots and stems in actual use.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When protecting mangrove roots, first wrap the protective net 1 around the roots, then insert the insertion rod 5 into the round hole and tighten it, then insert the cotter pin 8 into the corresponding positioning hole 7 for fixation, then hang the first hook 9 on the protective net 1, and then pull the second hook 10 to hang it on the nearby roots, ensuring that the protective net 1 can be tightly attached to the root system. With the design of multiple tensioning parts, the protective net 1 can adapt to different shapes of mangrove roots, so that the barnacles are attached to the protective net 1 and will not be directly attached to the mangrove roots.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
