Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic plant planting modules, and in particular to a biodegradable aquatic plant planting module. Background Technology

[0002] As people pay increasing attention to water environment protection and ecological restoration, aquatic plants play a vital role in the purification of eutrophic water bodies, ecological restoration, and landscape creation. They absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, inhibit algae growth, and provide habitats for aquatic animals, thereby effectively restoring the biodiversity and self-purification capacity of aquatic ecosystems. Currently, some floating planting devices have appeared on the market. These devices provide buoyancy so that plants can grow on the surface of water while their roots are suspended in the water to absorb nutrients. However, there is still room for improvement in these devices. Their connection structure is often simple or not strong enough. The overall integrity formed by splicing multiple units is poor. They are easy to fall apart under the action of wind and waves, making it difficult to achieve large-scale, stable modular installation. Therefore, developing a biodegradable aquatic plant planting module that ensures efficient plant growth, facilitates modular assembly, and achieves environmental friendliness throughout its entire life cycle has become an urgent technical need in the field of aquatic ecological management. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a biodegradable aquatic plant planting module.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A biodegradable aquatic plant planting module includes module components. Two adjacent module components are connected by connectors. Each module component includes a mounting plate and an inner shell. The mounting plate and the inner shell are integrally formed. A perforated plate is integrally formed on the inner surface of the inner shell. An installation cover is positioned on the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate by a docking mechanism. The installation cover and the mounting plate are fixed by fasteners. A buoyancy component is fixed on the outer wall of the inner shell.

[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the docking mechanism includes a docking plate and a docking groove, the docking plate is integrally formed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate, and the docking groove is formed on the top of the mounting cover.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the docking plate and the docking groove are connected by a plug-in connection.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fixing component includes a pressure plate and a second bolt. The pressure plate is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the mounting cover. A countersunk hole is opened on the surface of the pressure plate. A threaded groove adapted to the second bolt is opened on the side of the mounting plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connector includes a connecting plate, a plug-in plate and a grooved plate. The connecting plate and the grooved plate are both fixed to the top outer wall of the mounting plate. The plug-in plate is integrally formed on one end of the connecting plate, and a slot is provided inside the grooved plate. The plug-in plate and the slot are used in conjunction with each other by plugging.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connector further includes a threaded groove, a bolt, and a socket, wherein the threaded groove is formed on the surface of the plug plate, and the socket is formed on the top of the slotted plate.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bolt and the threaded groove are threadedly connected.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, rubber rings are fixed to the inner surfaces of the top and bottom of the mounting cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a biodegradable aquatic plant planting module, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The adjacent module components can be quickly and firmly connected through the connectors, and can be flexibly combined into a large-area integrated planting platform according to the water area and shape requirements, which greatly facilitates transportation, installation and subsequent maintenance and management.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] A biodegradable aquatic plant cultivation module, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes modular components. Two adjacent modular components are connected by connectors. Each modular component includes a mounting plate 1 and an inner shell 3. The mounting plate 1 and the inner shell 3 are integrally formed. A perforated plate 5 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the inner shell 3. A mounting cover 10 is positioned on the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate 1 by a docking mechanism. The mounting cover 10 and the mounting plate 1 are fixed by fasteners. A buoyancy component 9 is fixed on the outer wall of the inner shell 3. When aquatic plants need to be planted, a certain amount of planting substrate is placed inside the inner shell 3, and the perforated plate 5 supports the planting substrate. The planting substrate provides nutrients for the aquatic plants. At the same time, multiple sets of through holes are opened on the perforated plate 5. The inner diameter of the through holes is smaller than that of the planting substrate particles, which can prevent a large amount of internal planting substrate from being lost, and ensure that the roots of aquatic plants can freely pass through and extend into the water to absorb nutrients, facilitating water exchange. The buoyancy component 9 provides buoyancy in water for the entire module. The buoyancy component 9 can be made of low-density biodegradable materials such as cork. The buoyancy component 9 is covered by the mounting cover 10 to isolate it from the external environment and extend its service life. The mounting cover 10 and the mounting plate 1 can be fixed together by the fasteners. The module is made of biodegradable biomass materials, such as plant fiber bamboo fiber, palm fiber, sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw pressed materials, etc., which have degradation capabilities and can be integrated into the natural environment after reaching the end of their service life. When it is necessary to connect multiple modular components to achieve modular and large-area deployment, connectors can be used to connect and fix two adjacent modular components.

[0020] The docking mechanism includes a docking plate 12 and a docking groove 13. The docking plate 12 is integrally formed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate 1. The docking groove 13 is opened on the top of the mounting cover 10 and the docking plate 12 and the docking groove 13 are connected by a plug-in method. Rubber rings 11 are fixed on the top and bottom inner surfaces of the mounting cover 10. When it is necessary to fix the mounting plate 1 and the mounting cover 10, the mounting plate 1 and the mounting cover 10 are first positioned. Specifically, the mating groove 13 on the mounting cover 10 is inserted into the mating plate 12 at the bottom of the mounting plate 1 to ensure that the bottom of the mounting plate 1 and the top of the mounting cover 10 are aligned with each other. The sealing performance between the mounting plate 1 and the mounting cover 10 after docking can be improved by fixing the rubber ring 11.

[0021] The fastener includes a pressure plate 7 and a bolt 2 19. The pressure plate 7 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the mounting cover 10. The surface of the pressure plate 7 is provided with a countersunk hole 18. The side of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a threaded groove 2 14 that matches the bolt 2 19. After the mounting plate 1 and the mounting cover 10 are connected by the mating parts, the countersunk hole 18 and the threaded groove 14 on the pressure plate 7 are in opposite positions. At this time, the bolt 19 is threaded through the countersunk hole 18 and threaded into the threaded groove 14, thus fixing the mounting cover 10 and the mounting plate 1 together by the pressure plate 7 and the bolt 19.

[0022] The connector includes a connecting plate 15, a plug-in plate 4, and a slotted plate 2. The connecting plate 15 and the slotted plate 2 are both fixed to the top outer wall of the mounting plate 1. The plug-in plate 4 is integrally formed on one end of the connecting plate 15, and the slotted plate 2 has a slot 8 inside. The plug-in plate 4 and the slot 8 are used in conjunction by plugging. The connector also includes a threaded groove 6, a bolt 16, and a socket 17. The threaded groove 6 is opened on the surface of the plug-in plate 4, the socket 17 is opened on the top of the slotted plate 2, and the bolt 16 and the threaded groove 6 are threadedly connected. When it is necessary to connect two module components, firstly, the corresponding plug-in plates 4 and slots 8 on the slot plate 2 of the two adjacent module components are plugged in. After the plug-in plate 4 is fully inserted relative to the slot 8, the threaded groove 6 and the insertion hole 17 are aligned with each other. By threading the bolt 16 through the insertion hole 17 and the threaded groove 6, the plug-in plate 4 and the slot plate 2 can be fixed, thus realizing the fixed connection between the two module components.

[0023] Working principle: First, the inner shell 3 is filled with planting substrate and aquatic plants are planted. The perforated plate 5 inside the inner shell 3 can accommodate the substrate. The through holes on it can prevent the substrate from being lost in large quantities and facilitate the plant roots to pass through to absorb nutrients in the water and promote water exchange. The buoyancy component 9 provides the necessary buoyancy for the entire module assembly so that it can float in the water. The mounting cover 10 is initially positioned with the mounting plate 1 through the docking mechanism, and then fastened with fasteners. When large-area modular laying is required, adjacent module assemblies are connected by connectors. The plug plate 4 on one of the module connecting plates 15 is inserted into the slot 8 of the adjacent module channel plate 2 until the threaded groove 6 on the plug plate 4 is aligned with the plug hole 17 on the top of the channel plate 2. Then, the bolt 16 is passed through the plug hole 17 and screwed into the threaded groove 6 to achieve a reliable connection between the two module assemblies.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
