Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water conservancy technology, specifically to an ecological restoration device for canal improvement projects. Background Technology
[0002] Canals, generally referring to water channels or ditches, are passageways for water flow. Canals are classified by length as long canals and by width as wide canals and narrow canals. With the rapid development of water conservancy projects, canal improvement projects have played an important role in flood control, irrigation, and water supply. However, traditional canal improvement projects often focus on the stability and functionality of the engineering structure, neglecting ecological protection, leading to increasingly serious problems such as water pollution and biodiversity loss.
[0003] However, in the ecological restoration devices of existing channel improvement projects, it has been found that ecological floating islands are usually used to absorb pollutants in the water through plant roots. However, the nutrient soil for planting plants is exposed to the air for a long time. Due to the influence of weather and sunlight, the nutrient soil will dry out, resulting in the nutrient soil not reaching the humidity required for planting plants, thus affecting the efficiency of plant roots in nutrient absorption. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an ecological restoration device for channel remediation projects. This device has the advantages of irrigating the planting soil, ensuring sufficient moisture, preventing the planting soil from drying out due to prolonged exposure to air, and preventing the absorption capacity of plant roots and stems from being affected. This solves the problem in existing technologies where nutrient soil is exposed to air for a long time and is affected by weather and sunlight, causing the nutrient soil to dry out and fail to reach the required moisture level for the plant, thus affecting the efficiency of nutrient absorption by plant roots.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an ecological restoration device for channel improvement projects, comprising a frame and a water pump. The inner wall of the frame is fixedly equipped with planting pots arranged at equal intervals. Each planting pot contains planting soil, and four of the planting soils contain humidity sensors. The output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to a U-shaped tube. The upper surface of the U-shaped tube is fixedly connected to connecting pipes arranged at equal intervals. The outer surface of each connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. A solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each connecting pipe. A mounting shell is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each connecting pipe. A motor is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of each mounting shell. A gear one is fixedly connected to the output shaft of each motor. A gear two meshes with the outer surface of each gear one. A rotating tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each gear two. The outer surface of each rotating tube is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding connecting tube. Two horizontal tubes are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each rotating tube. Spray nozzles arranged at equal intervals are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of each horizontal tube.
[0006] The above scheme, through the installation of an irrigation system, aims to prevent the planting soil from drying out due to prolonged exposure to air, ensuring sufficient moisture for plant growth and preventing impaired root absorption. Planting pots are installed on the inner wall of the frame, each containing planting soil, divided into multiple zones. Four humidity sensors are placed in the planting soil of each zone to monitor soil moisture in real time. When insufficient moisture is detected, a water pump is activated to extract water and transfer it to a conduit. This conduit then distributes the water to the corresponding connecting pipes. The system detects humidity levels in different areas, activates the corresponding solenoid valves to allow water to flow to the corresponding rotating pipes, and starts the corresponding motors to rotate gear one. Through the connection between gear one and gear two, gear two drives the rotating pipe to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding horizontal pipe to rotate. This causes the nozzles to rotate in a ring, spraying water down onto the area to irrigate it. This ensures the planting soil has sufficient moisture for planting plants and prevents the soil from drying out due to prolonged exposure to air, thus preventing dry soil from affecting the absorption capacity of plant roots and stems.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water pump, and the upper surface of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame. The frame is made of high-strength polyethylene.
[0008] The above method involves installing the mounting bracket on the surface of the water pump and fixing the upper surface of the mounting bracket to the bottom surface of the frame to install the water pump. The water pump's inlet pipe is in the water, enabling it to draw water. The frame is made of high-strength polyethylene, which allows it to float on the water.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the planting soils contains a plant body, and the roots of each plant body penetrate the corresponding planting pot.
[0010] The above method involves planting the main body of the plant inside the planting soil, with the roots and stems of the main body penetrating the planting pot and absorbing nutrients from the water through these roots and stems.
[0011] Furthermore, connectors are fixedly installed on both the front and back of the frame, and an anchor rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each connector.
[0012] The above solution involves installing connectors on the front and back of the frame for a fixed connection, and installing anchor bolts on the inner walls of the corresponding connectors. The anchor bolts then secure the entire device to the bottom of the channel.
[0013] Furthermore, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame, and a square frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing frame.
[0014] The above scheme involves installing the first fixing frame on the right side of the frame as a fixed connection, and setting a square frame on the bottom surface of the first fixing frame to achieve the installation of the first fixing frame and the square frame.
[0015] Furthermore, a microbial carrier layer is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the square frame, and the microbial carrier layer is made of porous ceramic material.
[0016] The above scheme involves installing a microbial carrier layer on the inner wall of the square frame, and the microbial carrier layer is made of porous ceramic material. The microorganisms cultivated through the microbial carrier layer can degrade pollutants.
[0017] Furthermore, a second fixing frame is fixedly connected to the left side of the frame, and a second square frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second fixing frame.
[0018] The above scheme involves installing the second fixed frame on the left side of the frame as a fixed connection, and installing the second square frame on the bottom of the second fixed frame, thus achieving the installation of the second fixed frame and the second square frame.
[0019] Furthermore, an activated carbon filter layer is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the square frame two, and the activated carbon filter layer is made of granular activated carbon.
[0020] The above scheme involves setting an activated carbon filter layer on the inner wall of the square frame 2. The activated carbon filter layer uses granular activated carbon, which adsorbs suspended solids and organic pollutants in the water. In combination with the microbial carrier layer, it achieves water purification and ecological restoration.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This ecological restoration device for channel improvement projects incorporates components such as humidity sensors, gear one, gear two, and horizontal pipes. Humidity sensors are installed in the planting soil of corresponding areas to detect soil moisture. When moisture is insufficient, a water pump is activated to draw water and deliver it to the loop pipe and connecting pipe. Based on the detected humidity levels in different areas, corresponding solenoid valves are opened, allowing water to flow to the rotating pipe. A motor drives gear one and gear two, causing the rotating pipe and horizontal pipe to rotate. This, in turn, causes the nozzles to rotate in a circular motion, spraying water down to irrigate the planting soil in the area. This ensures sufficient moisture in the planting soil, preventing it from drying out due to prolonged exposure to air and affecting the absorption capacity of plant roots. Planting pots are placed inside the frame, filled with planting soil for planting the plants. Activated carbon filter layers and microbial carrier layers are located on the left and right sides of the frame. Through the synergistic effect of the plants, activated carbon filter layers, and microbial carrier layers, the water is rapidly purified, improving restoration efficiency.

[0033] This embodiment describes an ecological restoration device for a channel improvement project. It includes components such as a humidity sensor 4, gear 11, gear 2 12, and a horizontal pipe 14. The humidity sensor 4 is installed in the planting soil 3 of the corresponding area to detect the humidity. When the humidity is insufficient, a water pump 5 is activated to draw water and deliver it to the loop pipe 6 and connecting pipe 7. Based on the detected humidity level in different areas, the corresponding solenoid valve 8 is opened, and the water is delivered to the rotating pipe 13. A motor 10 drives gear 11 and gear 2 12 to rotate the rotating pipe 13 and the horizontal pipe 14, thereby rotating the nozzle 1. 5 can rotate in a ring to spray water down, irrigating the planting soil 3 in the area, ensuring sufficient moisture for the planting soil 3, preventing it from drying out due to long-term exposure to the air, and preventing it from affecting the absorption capacity of the plant roots and stems. By setting up planting pots 2 inside the frame 1, and placing planting soil 3 in the pots for planting the plant body 17, and setting activated carbon filter layer 25 and microbial carrier layer 22 on the left and right sides of the frame 1, the plant body 17, activated carbon filter layer 25 and microbial carrier layer 22 work together to quickly purify the water and improve the restoration efficiency.
[0034] It should be noted that the humidity sensor 4 is a resistive soil moisture sensor, which can monitor the humidity of one of the planting soils 3 in the area to determine whether the planting soil 3 in this area needs irrigation. The activated carbon filter layer 25 is set upstream of the water flow, that is, in the direction from which the water flows, and the microbial carrier layer 22 is set downstream of the water flow. After the water passes through the activated carbon filter layer 25, it passes through the microbial carrier layer 22 again to purify the water and achieve the effect of water body restoration.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: Planting pots 2 are placed inside frame 1, and planting soil 3 is placed in the pots for planting the plant body 17. Fixing frames 1 20 and 23 are installed on the left and right sides of frame 1. Activated carbon filter layer 25 and microbial carrier layer 22 are installed through square frames 1 21 and 24. Connectors 18 and anchors 19 are used to fix the entire device to the bottom of the channel. Through the synergistic effect of plant body 17, activated carbon filter layer 25 and microbial carrier layer 22, water is quickly purified, improving remediation efficiency. Humidity sensors 4 are installed in the planting soil 3 in the corresponding areas. The moisture content of the planting soil 3 is monitored. When insufficient moisture is detected, the water pump 5 is activated to draw water and deliver it to the loop pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 7. According to the moisture content of different areas, the corresponding solenoid valve 8 is opened, and the water is delivered to the rotating pipe 13. The motor 10 drives the gear 11 and gear 2 12 to rotate the rotating pipe 13 and the horizontal pipe 14, which in turn causes the nozzle 15 to rotate in a ring and spray water down to irrigate the planting soil 3 in the area, so that the planting soil 3 has sufficient moisture and prevents the planting soil 3 from drying out due to long-term exposure to the air, thus preventing the absorption capacity of the plant roots and stems from being affected.
