Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to planting substrates, and more particularly to modular submerged plant planting substrates. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of lake water ecological restoration and protection technology, submerged plants, as an important component of aquatic ecosystems, play a crucial role in purifying water quality, inhibiting algae reproduction, improving the bottom sediment environment, and constructing aquatic organism habitats. Currently, large-scale planting of submerged plants through planting trays has become the mainstream technical means for ecological restoration. Traditional planting trays mostly adopt an integral structure, which is difficult to flexibly adjust according to the lake topography, water depth, and bottom sediment conditions. Moreover, they suffer from low efficiency in transportation, installation, and subsequent maintenance. As ecological restoration projects develop towards "modularization, intelligence, and sustainability," how to achieve efficient assembly and environmental adaptation through innovative tray structures has become a key research direction for improving the effectiveness of lake restoration.

[0003] Existing submerged plant planting bases have significant technical bottlenecks in practical applications. The connection methods between bases mostly involve welding, snap-fitting, or simple binding, which result in insufficient connection strength and poor disassembly, leading to high operation and maintenance costs for restoration projects.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop a modular submerged plant planting base with high adaptability and ease of maintenance. By innovatively designing the connection components of the threaded cylinder and screw, the base frame can be quickly assembled and disassembled, breaking through the limitations of the traditional integral structure. This modular design not only improves the efficiency of base installation and disassembly, but also allows for adjustment of the distance between the two frames according to the environmental characteristics of different areas of the lake.
