Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomimetic landscape technology, specifically a large-scale biomimetic landscape structure. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous upgrading of urban public spaces, biomimetic landscape structures have gradually become an important vehicle for enhancing the artistry and technological feel of the environment. These structures typically mimic the form of natural trees, combining renewable energy technologies with information transmission functions to satisfy both aesthetic needs and public service value. For example, some landscape installations integrate solar power systems and wireless signal transmission modules to provide green electricity and communication support to the surrounding area, embodying an eco-friendly and intelligently interconnected design philosophy. The application of such structures in parks, plazas, and smart parks is becoming increasingly widespread.

[0003] Currently, existing biomimetic landscape structures still have certain limitations in terms of functional integration and energy utilization efficiency. Their signal transmission units mostly adopt a fixed layout, resulting in limited coverage and difficulty in dynamic adjustment. Simultaneously, energy harvesting methods are relatively singular, failing to fully integrate natural energy sources such as wind power, leading to low energy conversion rates. Furthermore, the lack of mathematical correlation between the component arrangement and natural forms affects the visual harmony and structural rationality of the installation to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a large-scale biomimetic landscape structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A large-scale biomimetic landscape structure, including

[0007] The tree trunk is hollow inside and contains an energy storage module.

[0008] Multiple branches are connected to the top of the trunk in an interlaced manner;

[0009] Multiple leaf-shaped signal transmitters are arranged on the tree branch according to the Fibonacci sequence. The signal transmitters are movably connected to the tree branch, and torsion springs are provided at the connection between the signal transmitters and the tree branch to maintain the direction of the signal transmitters.

[0010] A wind deflector, connected to the signal transmitter, is used to guide the direction of the wind and reduce the wind force directly facing the signal transmitter;

[0011] A solar panel is installed above the top of the tree trunk. The input end of the energy storage module is electrically connected to the solar panel, and its output end is electrically connected to the signal transmitter.

[0012] Preferably, the trunk is hollow inside and has a cable channel extending along its axial direction, and the branches have conduits inside along their bending axis to accommodate the power supply cables connecting the signal transmitter. The energy storage module is fixedly installed on a bracket on the inner wall of the trunk and is connected to the conduits inside the branches through the cable channel.

[0013] Preferably, the signal transmitter is movably connected to the tree branch via a universal rotating mechanism. The universal rotating mechanism includes a ball seat fixed to the tree branch and a ball head partially accommodated within the ball seat. The ball head is fixedly connected to the center of the back of the signal transmitter, enabling the signal transmitter to perform multi-degree-of-freedom deflection within the ball seat.

[0014] Preferably, the signal transmitters are arranged according to the Fibonacci sequence as follows: multiple signal transmitters are arranged along the extension direction of the tree branch in a Fibonacci spiral trajectory, and the radial distance between adjacent signal transmitters conforms to the numerical relationship of the Fibonacci sequence.

[0015] Preferably, the solar panel is hemispherical, with the hemisphere bulging towards the top and its edges curving upwards, and a plurality of energy-saving lamps are evenly arranged along the edge of the solar panel.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes a piezoelectric power generation module attached to the surface of the tree branch. The output end of the piezoelectric power generation module is electrically connected to the input end of the energy storage module, and is used to convert the vibration energy generated by the wind on the tree branch into electrical energy.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention solves the problem of limited coverage of fixed-layout signal transmitting units in existing biomimetic landscape structures by arranging blade-shaped signal transmitters according to the Fibonacci sequence (arranging them along the tree branches in a Fibonacci spiral trajectory, with the radial distance between adjacent transmitters conforming to the sequence relationship), combined with a omnidirectional rotating mechanism and wind deflector design. The Fibonacci sequence arrangement makes the signal transmitters more evenly distributed on the tree branches, maximizing space utilization.

[0019] 2. This utility model simulates the shape of a natural tree as a whole, with intertwined branches and signal transmitters simulating leaves. The signal transmitters are arranged using the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical law that is universally present in nature, making the appearance of the structure closer to nature and significantly improving visual harmony. It can be highly integrated with the environmental atmosphere of public spaces such as parks and squares, enhancing the artistry and technological feel of the regional landscape. It achieves the unity of biomimetic form, practical function, and reliable structure, solving the problem that the arrangement of components in existing devices lacks natural relevance and that it is difficult to balance aesthetics and practicality.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a large biomimetic landscape structure includes a tree trunk 1, which is integrally molded from high-strength fiberglass material. The overall height is set at 8-12m, the diameter is 80-100cm, and the interior is hollow with a diameter of 40-50cm. This ensures structural stability to withstand daily wind and rain impacts and provides ample installation space for internal components.

[0028] The trunk 1 is hollow inside and contains an energy storage module. The energy storage module uses a 5-8kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which has the characteristics of high safety and long cycle life, and can meet the all-weather power supply needs of the structure. The energy storage module is fixedly installed on the stainless steel bracket on the inner wall of the trunk 1 by bolts. The bracket and the inner wall of the trunk are filled with a rubber buffer pad, which can effectively reduce the impact of external vibration on the energy storage module.

[0029] Multiple branches 2 are connected to the top of the trunk 1 in an interlaced manner. They are made of carbon fiber composite material, which is high in strength and light in weight, and can reduce the load-bearing pressure on the trunk 1. The number of branches 2 is set to 8-12, each with a length of 3-5m. They are connected to the top of the trunk 1 through flanges at an interlaced angle of 30°-60°. A sealing ring is set at the flange connection to prevent rainwater from seeping into the trunk 1.

[0030] The trunk 1 is hollow inside and has a cable channel 6 extending along its axis. The cable channel 6 is made of PVC round pipe with an inner diameter of 5-8cm. Its wall is fixed to the inner wall of the trunk 1 by a buckle to ensure that it will not shift during long-term use. The branch 2 has a wire tube 7 inside along its bending axis. The wire tube 7 is also made of PVC with an inner diameter of 3-5cm. It is connected to the cable channel 6. The connection between the two uses a reducing diameter sealing joint, which not only ensures that the power supply cable can pass through smoothly, but also plays a role in waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0031] The conduit 7 is used to house the power supply cable connecting the signal transmitter 3. The cable is an RVV type copper core cable with anti-aging and anti-ultraviolet properties. The energy storage module is connected to the cable in the conduit 7 inside the branch 2 through the cable channel 6 to achieve a stable power supply to the signal transmitter 3.

[0032] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, multiple leaf-shaped signal transmitters 3 are made of ABS engineering plastic, and their shape mimics the form of a sycamore leaf in nature. They are 25-30cm long and 15-20cm wide, and their surfaces are coated with an anti-UV coating to extend their outdoor lifespan. They are arranged on the tree branch 2 according to the Fibonacci sequence, specifically as follows:

[0033] Starting from the top of each branch 2, signal transmitters 3 are arranged along the extension direction of branch 2 in a Fibonacci spiral trajectory. One signal transmitter 3 is set up for every 137.5° (golden angle) increase in the polar angle of the spiral, and the radial distance between adjacent signal transmitters 3 strictly follows the numerical relationship of the Fibonacci sequence (1cm, 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 5cm, 8cm...). This arrangement not only makes the signal transmitters 3 evenly distributed on the branch 2, but also maximizes the use of the extension space of the branch 2 and improves the comprehensiveness of signal coverage.

[0034] The signal transmitter 3 is movably connected to the tree branch 2 via a universal rotating mechanism. The universal rotating mechanism includes a ball seat 8 fixed to the tree branch 2 and a ball head 9 partially housed within the ball seat 8. The ball seat 8 is fixed to the surface of the tree branch 2 by welding and has a wear-resistant ceramic bushing inside to reduce wear when the ball head 9 rotates. The diameter of the ball head 9 matches the inner diameter of the ball seat 8. The ball head 9 is fixedly connected to the center of the back of the signal transmitter 3. The ball head 9 can achieve a deflection angle of ±30° within the ball seat 8, allowing the signal transmitter 3 to perform multi-degree-of-freedom deflection within the ball seat 8.

[0035] A torsion spring 11 is provided at the connection between the signal transmitter 3 and the tree branch 2 to maintain the orientation of the signal transmitter 3. The torsion spring 11 is located on the inner wall of the ball seat 9, and its end is connected to the ball head 9. When the wind blows towards the signal transmitter 3, the cooperation of the torsion spring 11, the ball seat 8 and the ball head 9 allows the signal transmitter 3 to deflect according to the wind force. On the one hand, it can reduce the wind force directly facing the signal transmitter 3, and on the other hand, it can allow the signal transmitter 3 to return to its original position when there is no wind, maintain its transmission direction, and ensure that each signal transmitter 3 is on its preset transmission trajectory most of the time.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wind guide vane 4 is connected to the signal transmitter 3 and is used to guide the direction of the wind and reduce the wind force directly facing the signal transmitter 3. The wind guide vane 4 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy with a streamlined arc surface structure and is fixed to the edge of the upper surface of the signal transmitter 3 by rivets. It blends with the shape of the "blade" without destroying the biomimetic aesthetics and does not block the signal transmission area. Its core function is to guide the direction of the wind and split the airflow directly facing the signal transmitter into three parts: upward deflection, side dispersion, and direct blowing. This reduces the wind pressure in the direct face by 70%-80%, reduces the wear of the universal rotating mechanism, reduces the vibration amplitude of the signal transmitter, and extends its service life.

[0037] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, solar panel 5 is installed above the top of tree trunk 1. The output end of solar panel 5 is electrically connected to the input end of energy storage module through controller. The controller has MPPT (maximum power point tracking) function, which can track the maximum power output of solar panel 5 in real time, efficiently converting light energy into electrical energy and storing it in energy storage module. The output end of energy storage module is electrically connected to signal transmitter 3 through inverter, providing it with a stable DC power supply.

[0038] The solar panel 5 is made of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon material. The solar panel 5 is set in a hemispherical shape, which protrudes towards the top and its edges are curved upward. This structural design can maximize the light-receiving area of ​​the solar panel 5, and improve the light-receiving efficiency compared with the traditional flat solar panel 5.

[0039] Several energy-saving lamps 10 are evenly arranged along the edge of the solar panel 5. The energy-saving lamps 10 are connected to the energy storage module through wires. The wires are hidden in the grooves along the edge of the solar panel 5, so as not to affect the overall landscape effect. The LED energy-saving lamps 10 can be turned on automatically at night to provide soft lighting for the surrounding area, combining landscape decoration and practical lighting functions.

[0040] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a piezoelectric power generation module. This module is made of PZT-5 type piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which are attached to the surface of the tree branch 2 with epoxy resin adhesive. 4-6 sheets are evenly attached to each tree branch 2, and the piezoelectric ceramic sheets are connected in series by wires. When the tree branch 2 vibrates under the action of wind, the piezoelectric ceramic sheets will generate a piezoelectric effect due to deformation, outputting a DC voltage of 1-3V. The output end of the piezoelectric power generation module is electrically connected to the input end of the energy storage module through a rectifier bridge and a voltage regulator circuit, converting the vibration energy of the tree branch 2 caused by the wind into electrical energy and storing it. It can serve as an effective supplement to solar power supply, especially on cloudy days or when there is insufficient sunlight, and can significantly improve the energy self-sufficiency of the structure.

[0041] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
