Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological restoration engineering, and in particular to an adaptive water level floating ecological pond system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many ecological pond designs employ fixed water level or mechanical water level regulation systems. While these systems can maintain the stability of the ponds to some extent, they often face problems such as excessive water level fluctuations, high maintenance costs, and restricted plant growth. For example, traditional fixed water level designs cannot automatically adjust the water level when rainfall varies significantly or when there are seasonal water level fluctuations, which may lead to excessive immersion of plant roots, causing root death due to lack of oxygen, and even resulting in excessively high concentrations of pollutants in the water. Although mechanical water level regulation systems can regulate the water level to some extent, their complex mechanical equipment is prone to failure, increasing maintenance difficulty and costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes an adaptive water level floating ecological pond system, which is suitable for areas with large water level fluctuations and where water purification is required.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] An adaptive water level floating ecological pond system includes: a water level trough, an ecological sedimentation zone, a biological filter belt, and a floating platform; the water level trough and the ecological sedimentation zone are arranged adjacent to each other to form the main body of the ecological pond; the water level trough is used for water intake and to regulate and maintain the stability of the water level of the main body of the ecological pond; the biological filter belt is arranged in a strip shape on the outer periphery of the main body of the ecological pond, and is used to plant amphibious plants with pollutant absorption capabilities.

[0006] The bottom of the water level trough is laid with a gravel layer, a sand layer, and a plain soil layer from top to bottom, and the side walls are made of permeable ecological concrete. The bottom of the water level trough is sloped to allow water to flow from the trough towards the ecological sedimentation area. The side walls of the water level trough adjacent to the ecological sedimentation area are capped with boulders, and anti-siltation nets are installed at the overflow points, with the anti-siltation nets fixed by boulders. The volume of the water level trough can adapt to different water level changes, and a water inlet component that switches according to water level changes is fixed to its side walls.

[0007] The floating platform is arranged in the upper water of the ecological sedimentation zone and is planted with emergent plants. The bottom of the ecological sedimentation zone is divided into three layers from top to bottom: top layer, middle layer and bottom layer. The bottom layer is laid with sand and soil layers from top to bottom. The middle layer is laid with large-particle materials, including large stones, pebbles and gravel. The top layer is used to plant submerged plants.

[0008] Furthermore, the water inlet assembly includes: a float, a water inlet pipe, a water inlet pipe mounting base, a connecting rope, a float mounting base, a mounting groove, and a magnetic element;

[0009] The water inlet pipe is a circular pipe with an inlet and an outlet at its two ends, respectively. One end of the inlet pipe is fixed to the side wall of the water level tank, and a magnetic element is coaxially arranged on the outer periphery of the outlet end. The float is hollow inside and has an array of mounting slots fixed inside, with a magnetic element embedded in the mounting slot. When the magnetic element in the water inlet pipe is close to the magnetic element in the float, they attract each other through magnetic coupling, and the magnetic force weakens when they move away from each other.

[0010] The diameter of the water outlet of the inlet pipe is slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the float.

[0011] One end of the connecting rope is fixed to the float via a float fixing seat, and the other end is fixed to the inlet pipe near the outlet via an inlet pipe fixing seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the water level tank is divided into a deep water zone and a shallow water zone according to the water depth. The deep water zone and the shallow water zone are separated by ecological permeable concrete and the tank is supported by the partition. The deep water zone is used to plant submerged plants. The shallow water zone is used to plant submerged plants that are adapted to shallow water depth and to serve as a habitat for small aquatic organisms.

[0013] Furthermore, the water depth range of the deep water area is 30-60cm, and the water depth range of the shallow water area is 5-10cm.

[0014] Furthermore, the slope of the bottom of the water level tank ranges from 1 to 10 degrees.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the floating platform is fixed with several weight control blocks by ropes. The weight control blocks sink to the bottom of the ecological sedimentation area to limit the floating range of the floating platform. This ensures that the floating platform can float freely and rise and fall synchronously with the water level, while avoiding collision with the side wall of the ecological sedimentation area.

[0016] Furthermore, the float is made of corrosion-resistant material, the connecting rope is made of polyester fiber material, and the magnetic element is a neodymium iron boron magnet.

[0017] Furthermore, the floating platform occupies 30%-50% of the water area of ​​the ecological sedimentation zone.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This invention effectively solves the problems of water level fluctuations, plant growth, and water purification in traditional ecological pond systems through the water level regulation function of a floating platform and a multi-level water purification design. Its automatic dynamic adjustment function ensures that the ecological environment within the pond is always maintained in an optimal state, exhibiting high adaptability and ecological stability. This invention not only enhances the functionality of ecological ponds but also reduces maintenance costs, aligning with the concept of sustainable development. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. The purpose and effects of the present invention will become clearer as a result. Further detailed description of the present invention will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an adaptive floating ecological pond system can be divided into four main functional areas: a water level trough 1, an ecological sedimentation zone 2, a biological filter belt 3, and a floating platform 10. The water level trough 1 and the ecological sedimentation zone 2 are arranged adjacent to each other, forming the main body of the ecological pond. The main body of the ecological pond is designed to have a naturally irregular shape, tailored to the specific water area, topography, and ecological needs. The water level trough 1 is located on one edge of the main body of the ecological pond to regulate and maintain the stability of the water level. The floating platform 10 is located on the ecological sedimentation zone 2. The biological filter belt 3 is located around the outer perimeter of the main body of the ecological pond, close to the water's edge, and intersects with the floating platform 10, serving as a connection between the main body of the ecological pond and the surrounding environment. The width of the biological filter belt 3 is adjusted according to specific design requirements and water flow direction, typically ranging from 5 to 10 meters, and is arranged in a strip shape. Aquatic and terrestrial plants suitable for absorbing pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus, such as calamus and reeds, can be planted on the biological filter belt 3.

[0030] The water level channel 1 is constructed using natural materials and permeable concrete to ensure smooth water flow. Specifically, a 15-20cm thick gravel layer 7 is laid at the bottom of the water level channel 1 to support the side walls and enhance permeability. Below the gravel layer 7 is a sand layer 8, and below the sand layer 8 is a plain soil layer 9. The sand layer 8 is at least 30cm thick, and the plain soil layer 9 is at least 50cm thick. This two-layer permeable design, combined with the gravel layer 7, ensures that excess water can naturally infiltrate, preventing water accumulation and siltation. Ecological permeable concrete 6 is poured and arranged on the sides of the water level channel 1 as the basic structure of the side walls. The water level channel 1 is divided into a deep water zone and a shallow water zone 5 according to water depth. The bottom of the deep water zone has planting holes for planting submerged plants (such as Vallisneria natans). The shallow water zone 5 has a depth of approximately 5-10cm and provides habitats for submerged plants and small aquatic organisms adapted to shallower water, enhancing the biodiversity of the ecological pond system. The deep water zone and the shallow water zone 5 are separated by ecological permeable concrete 6 and the zone is supported by a partitioned tank. The ratio of the deep water zone and the shallow water zone 5 can be specifically set according to local ecological needs.

[0031] There is at least one water level tank 1, and each water level tank 1 is designed to overflow excess water into the ecological sedimentation zone 2, preventing the water level in the water level tank 1 from becoming too high. On the other hand, this design facilitates the natural flow of pollutants to the ecological sedimentation zone 2 for filtration and purification. Specifically, the overflow design involves: a boulder capping the sidewalls of the water level tank 1 adjacent to the ecological sedimentation zone 2; and an anti-siltation net installed at the overflow point to prevent silt from being carried away by the water flow. The anti-siltation net is fixed by the boulder, which also acts as a coarse sieve for silt. The bottom of the water level tank 1 is also designed with a certain slope (1-10 degrees) from the direction away from the ecological sedimentation zone 2 towards it, which helps the water flow smoothly towards the ecological sedimentation zone 2 and avoids stagnant water areas. The tank should be designed according to the water flow and water level fluctuations to ensure that the length, width and depth of the water level tank 1 can adapt to different water level changes. That is, the size of the water level tank 1 should have sufficient capacity to accommodate water level fluctuations, but excessive capacity should be avoided to prevent water flow from slowing down. According to the actual water level fluctuation range, the water depth of the deep water area of ​​the water level tank 1 can be set between 30 and 60 cm.

[0032] like Figures 3-7 As shown, a water inlet assembly 4 is fixed to the side wall of the water level tank 1 to adjust the water level and ensure that the water level is always maintained within a suitable range. The water inlet assembly 4 includes: a float 4-1, a water inlet pipe 4-2, a water inlet pipe fixing seat 4-3, a connecting rope 4-4, a float fixing seat 4-5, a mounting groove 4-6, and a magnetic element 4-7. Preferably, the shallow water area 5 is located on the side of the water level tank 1 closest to the outside, and the water inlet assembly 4 is disposed on the side wall of the shallow water area 5.

[0033] The float 4-1 is connected to the inlet pipe 4-2 near the outlet via a connecting rope 4-4. When the water level rises, the connecting rope 4-4 pulls the float 4-1 toward the outlet of the inlet pipe 4-2. When the water level reaches a set threshold, the float 4-1 blocks the outlet, stopping the water intake. The float 4-1 is made of corrosion-resistant material (such as stainless steel) and has a hollow internal structure with an installation groove 4-6 for embedding a magnetic element 4-7. In this embodiment, the magnetic element 4-7 is a neodymium iron boron magnet. The inlet pipe 4-2 is a circular tube with a circular cross-section, which facilitates the free movement and accurate alignment of the float 4-1. One end of the inlet of the inlet pipe 4-2 is fixed to the side wall of the water level tank 1, and the other end (i.e., the outlet end) has the magnetic element 4-7 coaxially arranged on its outer periphery. The maximum diameter of float 4-1 should be slightly larger than the diameter of the outlet to ensure that float 4-1 can completely cover the outlet and form an effective seal.

[0034] One end of the connecting rope 4-4 is fixed to the float 4-1 via the float fixing seat 4-5, and the other end is fixed to the inlet pipe 4-2 via the inlet pipe fixing seat 4-3. Both the inlet pipe fixing seat 4-3 and the float fixing seat 4-5 are semi-circular structures, and the material of the inlet pipe fixing seat 4-3 is the same as that of the inlet pipe 4-2. The two can be fixed together using adhesive methods such as spraying glue. The material of the float fixing seat 4-5 is the same as that of the float 4-1, and the two can also be fixed together using adhesive methods such as spraying glue. The connecting rope 4-4 should be water-resistant and have sufficient strength and elasticity to withstand the tension of the float 4-1. The material of the connecting rope 4-4 can be polyester fiber, etc. After both ends of the connecting rope 4-4 pass through the circular fixing seats, a secure knot is tied at the end to prevent the rope end from slipping. The circular fixing seat design facilitates the installation and removal of the connecting rope 4-4.

[0035] When the water level reaches the set threshold, the magnetic element 4-7 inside the float 4-1 and the magnetic element 4-7 inside the inlet pipe 4-2 generate an attraction through magnetic coupling. The float 4-1 is attracted to the outlet position, blocking the inlet pipe 4-2 and stopping water intake. When the water level drops, the float 4-1 moves down, and the magnetic force between the two magnetic elements 4-7 gradually weakens. When the buoyancy and magnetic force are insufficient to overcome the weight of the float 4-1, the float 4-1 detaches from the outlet, and the inlet pipe 4-2 reopens, allowing water to enter.

[0036] The sidewalls of the ecological sedimentation zone 2 are constructed with permeable ecological concrete 6, serving as the foundation structure for the sidewalls of the ecological sedimentation zone 2. The bottom of the ecological sedimentation zone 2 is divided into three layers from top to bottom: top layer, middle layer, and bottom layer; each layer is constructed using natural materials to ensure smooth water flow and effective filtration between layers.

[0037] The bottom layer of ecological sedimentation zone 2 consists of a sand layer 8 and a soil layer 9, laid sequentially from top to bottom. The sand layer 8 is at least 30 cm thick, and the soil layer 9 is at least 50 cm thick. The sand layer 8 facilitates slow water flow, helping to further filter fine sediments and particles, while the soil layer 9 provides a base for plant roots and growth. The bottom layer helps to adsorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water, promoting water purification; and it ensures that excess water can naturally infiltrate, preventing water accumulation and siltation.

[0038] The middle layer of ecological sedimentation zone 2 serves as the first physical filtration barrier, intercepting larger organic matter and sediments. This middle layer is paved with large-particle materials such as large stones 12, pebbles, or gravel to ensure smooth water flow; these large particles help filter larger particles and sediments while preventing silt accumulation.

[0039] The top layer of the ecological sedimentation zone 2 is used to plant submerged plants. The roots of these submerged plants can penetrate deep into the gravel and sand layers 8 and play a role in filtering and adsorbing harmful substances, heavy metals and nutrients in the water. These submerged plants can also provide a habitat for microorganisms in the water and enhance the biological process of water purification.

[0040] The floating platform 10 is positioned in the upper water layer of the ecological sedimentation zone 2. It is a large, lightweight floating plate made of biodegradable composite material; its size is adapted to the area of ​​the ecological sedimentation zone 2, occupying 30%-50% of the water area. Both the bottom and surface of the floating platform 10 are designed to withstand water flow impacts. Several weight control blocks 11 are fixed to the bottom of the floating platform 10 by ropes. These weight control blocks 11 sink into the bottom of the ecological sedimentation zone 2 to restrain the floating platform 10's buoyancy, ensuring that it can float freely without colliding with the side walls of the ecological sedimentation zone 2, and rises and falls synchronously with water level changes. Emergent plants, such as cattails and water onions, can be planted on the floating platform 10, which filter and adsorb harmful substances, heavy metals, and nutrients in the water. These plants also provide a habitat for aquatic microorganisms, enhancing the biological process of water purification.

[0041] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All modifications and equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
