[0002] In recent years, affected by human activities such as rapid urbanization, industrial pollution emissions, and agricultural non-point source pollution, a large number of rivers, lakes, and wetlands are facing problems such as shrinking area, water pollution, and degradation of ecological functions. Researching and restoring damaged river and lake wetland ecosystems has become an important topic in the fields of environmental science and ecological engineering. In research on river and lake wetland ecological restoration, habitat simulation devices are key tools for conducting experimental research. By simulating the wetland ecological environment, the impact mechanisms of different plant communities and environmental factors on wetland ecological restoration can be explored, providing theoretical basis and technical support for practical ecological restoration projects.
[0003] However, existing river and lake wetland habitat simulation devices mostly rely on manual handling or simple robotic arms to transport plant samples. The operation process is cumbersome and easily affected by human factors, resulting in low transport efficiency and difficulty in quickly changing the plant layout to carry out diversified experiments. At the same time, there is a lack of flexible display support structure. After the plant modules are repaired in the river and lake wetland simulation cavity, it is difficult to adjust them to a suitable position and angle for researchers to observe. It is also not convenient to make quick and intuitive comparisons of different plant modules.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a river and lake wetland habitat simulation device. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0019] Example 1 To address the issues of inconvenient sample transfer and limited sample comparison observation in existing ecological simulation devices, please refer to... Figures 1-3This invention provides a river and lake wetland habitat simulation device, comprising a simulation box 1 and plant modules 2. The top surface of the simulation box 1 has a main chamber 101 for simulating the ecological environment of a target wetland area, and multiple equally spaced secondary chambers 102 for cultivating different types of plant modules 2. Above the simulation box 1 are a transfer frame 3 and a conveying mechanism 4. The transfer frame 3 and the conveying mechanism 4 work together to achieve bidirectional transfer of plant modules 2 between the main chamber 101 and the secondary chambers 102, allowing for comparison of the ecological restoration effects of different combinations of plant modules 2 on the target wetland area. The main chamber 101 contains temperature and humidity control components, water quality monitoring components, and water flow simulation components. Through multi-parameter collaborative control, it achieves high-precision simulation of the ecological environment of the target wetland area. The secondary chambers 102 are arrayed around the main chamber 101 and are used for the directional cultivation of different types of plant modules 2, such as submerged, emergent, and floating plants, providing standardized samples for comparative experiments.
[0020] Magnetic plates 104 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the main chamber 101 and the secondary chamber 102, and the plant module 2 is adsorbed onto the magnetic plates 104. The plant module 2 includes a support plate 201, a first rod 202 and a second rod 204 fixed on both sides of the support plate 201. The support plate 201 has through holes for the plant to pass through, and the outer end of the first rod 202 is fixed with a magnetic block 203 that attracts the magnetic plate 104. The magnetic plates 104 can realize the positioning of the plant module 2 in any position in the three-dimensional space within the chamber, with high flexibility and accuracy. The plant module 2 can be quickly positioned to any position within the chamber according to experimental needs without the need for complex mechanical adjustment structures, which can greatly improve experimental efficiency and facilitate researchers to quickly change the plant layout and conduct comparative experiments under different conditions.
[0021] Before the experiment, different types of plant modules 2, such as submerged, emergent, and floating, were cultivated in the secondary chamber 102. During the experiment, the selected plant modules 2 were transferred to the main chamber 101 through the cooperation of the transfer frame 3 and the conveying mechanism 4. By adjusting the environmental parameters of the main chamber 101, a real wetland scene was simulated. The simulation box 1 adopts a composite cavity structure to realize independent control of plant cultivation and experimental environment, avoid mutual interference, improve experimental accuracy, and the modular structure facilitates quick replacement of plant samples and improves experimental efficiency.
[0022] The conveying mechanism 4 includes a ring track 401 and support plates 402 fixed at both ends of the ring track 401. The lower end of the support plate 402 is fixed to the side of the simulation box 1.
[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the transfer frame 3 includes a slide 301, a lifting frame, and a horizontally movable frame. The slide 301 is slidably mounted on the annular track 401. The lifting frame includes a rotating seat 302 rotatably mounted on the top of the slide 301 and a first movable rod 303 passing through the rotating seat 302. A limiting block 304 is fixedly provided at the top of the first movable rod 303, and a first spring 305 is sleeved on the first movable rod 303, with one end abutting against the limiting block 304 and the other end abutting against the rotating seat 302. The horizontally movable frame includes a fixed base 306 fixed to the bottom end of the first movable rod 303 and a second movable rod 307 passing through the fixed base 306; a pull ring 308 is fixedly provided at one end of the second movable rod 307 and a vertical rod body 309 is fixedly provided at the other end; a second spring 310 is sleeved on the second movable rod 307, with one end abutting against the fixed base 306 and the other end abutting against the vertical rod body 309; a positioning sleeve 311 matching the second rod body 204 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the vertical rod body 309.
[0024] When transferring plant module 2, the transfer frame 3 moves along the circular track 401 to the target chamber. Researchers press down on the pull ring 308, which lowers the entire horizontally moving frame. The first spring 305 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. Pulling the pull ring 308 again causes the second movable rod 307 to move outward against the tension of the second spring 310, moving the vertical rod 309 and the positioning sleeve 311 horizontally above the second rod 204 of plant module 2. The position is manually adjusted so that the positioning sleeve 311 fits onto the second rod 204 of plant module 2. The position is then finely adjusted so that the positioning sleeve 311 is aligned with the second rod 204. The pull ring 308 is released, and the second spring 310 returns to its original position and contracts, firmly securing the positioning sleeve 311 onto the second rod 204. The first spring 305 returns to its original position and extends, causing the entire plant module 2 to rise smoothly and detach from the magnetic suction plate 104. It is then transferred to another chamber, completing the transfer. For display purposes, plant module 2 can be raised to a display position above the main chamber 101.
[0025] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, to prevent the liquid used in the main chamber 101 to simulate a polluted environment from remaining on the surface of the plant module 2 and to prevent it from entering the secondary chamber 102 and contaminating the plant cultivation environment, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a flushing chamber 103 is also provided on the top surface of the simulation chamber 1, and a ring of nozzles 107 is arranged around the upper end of the inner wall of the flushing chamber 103.
[0026] A monitoring unit is also provided on the upper inner wall of the main chamber 101. The monitoring unit includes a mounting base 105 and two cameras 106, which are used to capture images of the plants inside the main chamber 101 and those raised above the main chamber 101 in the display position. The plant module 2 is monitored in real time for growth, such as leaf color, morphological changes, and pest and disease conditions, providing objective evidence for experimental evaluation.
[0027] The nozzles 107 are arranged in a ring to rinse the surface of the plant module 2 from all directions, removing impurities, contaminants, or algae attached to the surface. This prevents impurities from interfering with the water quality monitoring data of the main chamber 101, ensuring the accuracy of experimental data. Automated rinsing reduces manual operation and avoids cross-contamination. When the plant module 2 is transferred from the main chamber 101 to the secondary chamber 102, it can rinse away the liquid used in the main chamber 101 to simulate the polluted environment, preventing it from entering the secondary chamber 102 and contaminating the plant cultivation environment. This ensures the purity of the plant cultivation in the secondary chamber 102. At the same time, the cleaned plant module 2 can enter the monitoring field of view in a clearer state, making it easier for the camera 106 to capture plant details and analyze physiological indicators more accurately, reducing image misjudgment caused by surface stains.
[0028] Example 3 Based on Examples 1 and 2, to facilitate researchers' comprehensive and unobstructed observation of the plant module 2 in the display position, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the plant module 2 also includes a rotating unit for driving the plant to rotate; the rotating unit includes a toothed ring 205 rotatably disposed on the top of the support plate 201, a rack 206 located on the side of the toothed ring 205 and meshing with it, and an adjusting rod 208 fixed to the end of the rack 206. The top of the support plate 201 is fixedly provided with a guide rail 207 that slides with the rack 206.
[0029] Researchers push the adjusting rod 208, and the rack 206 slides along the guide rail 207, causing the gear ring 205 to rotate, realizing multi-angle adjustment of the plant. When the plant module 2 is in the display position above the main chamber 101, the orientation of the plant can be quickly changed by manual adjustment, so that all parts of the plant can be clearly presented in the field of view of the monitoring unit, which is convenient for researchers to conduct all-round, blind-spot-free observation. With the help of the camera 106, details such as plant leaf texture and root growth can be captured completely, improving observation efficiency and the comprehensiveness of data collection.
[0030] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
