Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating island technology, specifically to a floating island with algae-suppressing function. Background Technology

[0002] As a typical method of aquatic ecological restoration, the core of ecological floating islands lies in the artificial construction of aquatic plant planting platforms. These platforms leverage the plants' ability to absorb eutrophic substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter during their growth to achieve water purification while also enhancing the landscape. Regarding algae suppression, it does not rely on a single mechanism but rather on the synergistic operation of three core mechanisms: physical shielding, competitive inhibition, and biological purification. This creates a multi-dimensional interactive system between plants, microorganisms, and the aquatic environment, effectively inhibiting algae growth and maintaining the ecological balance of the aquatic body.

[0003] Currently, ecological floating island technology has entered a mature stage of development, and many existing technologies with practical value have emerged in the market. Among them, modular floating islands, with their flexible adaptability, have become one of the most widely used mainstream types. These floating islands can freely adjust their overall size according to the actual scale of the water surface to be treated, greatly expanding their applicable scenarios.

[0004] For example, comparing a water purification ecological floating island with Chinese patent publication number CN223134263U, specifically relating to the field of ecological floating island technology, includes a planting pot for planting plants. The planting pot has a floating bed plate at its outer end, and the floating bed plate has a cross-sectional shape of a regular octagon. The sides of the floating bed plate are equipped with splicing components for connecting multiple floating bed plates together. The splicing components include eight triangular floating plates, each of which is movably connected to one of the eight sides of the floating bed plate via hinges. The cross-sectional shape of each triangular floating plate is an equilateral right triangle. This solution not only adopts a splicing structure but also allows for different shapes after splicing, further enhancing both aesthetics and practicality.

[0005] However, existing floating islands still suffer from the problem of difficulty in adjusting their height and spacing. Different floating island plants (such as canna lilies and foxtail grass) exhibit significant differences in root growth rates and extension scale; shallow-rooted plants only cover 10-20cm underwater, while deep-rooted plants can extend to over 50cm. In practical applications, floating islands often employ a "hybrid planting model" to expand the contact area with the water body through three-dimensional root distribution, thereby enhancing algae suppression. However, because the height of the planting pots and the spacing between plants cannot be flexibly adjusted according to plant characteristics, the mixed planting environments become mismatched: deep-rooted plants struggle to absorb nutrients from the lower layers, shallow-rooted plants suffer from shading during photosynthesis, and even dominant plants crowd out space, causing weaker plants to wither. This "imbalanced growth environment" weakens the advantages of hybrid planting, reduces nutrient absorption efficiency, disrupts ecological stability, and ultimately diminishes the algae suppression effect, failing to achieve the goal of aquatic ecological restoration. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating island with algae-suppressing function, which facilitates the adjustment of the spacing and height between planting pots and improves the algae-suppressing effect.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A floating island with algae-suppressing function is provided, comprising multiple planting pots and multiple floating boxes. The floating boxes are detachably installed around the planting pots. The island also includes multiple frames, multiple lifting components, multiple connecting components, and multiple quick-release components. The frames are fitted around the planting pots. The lifting components include a support mechanism, which includes a pair of support rods and H-shaped fasteners. The two support rods are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the frame. The bottom of the support rods is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame, and the top of the support rods is horizontally slidably connected to one side of the planting pot. The two sides of the H-shaped fasteners are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two support rods respectively. The two frames are detachably connected by the connecting components and a pair of quick-release components. The connecting components are used to adjust the spacing between the frames.

[0009] Furthermore, there is a pair of support mechanisms, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the planting pot. The support components also include multiple limiting blocks and multiple knobs. The multiple limiting blocks are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the planting pot and horizontally spaced. The inner wall of the limiting block is engaged with the top of the support rod. The top of the planting pot has multiple through grooves that are slidably connected to the limiting blocks. The inner wall of the groove has a stepped structure. The knob is rotatably connected to the top of the limiting block. The bottom edge of the knob abuts against the top of the planting pot and the bottom wall of the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the quick-release assembly includes a pair of arc-shaped locking blocks, a T-shaped insert, and multiple first tension springs. The two arc-shaped locking blocks can form a ring structure. The bottom arc-shaped locking block is fixedly connected to the outer perimeter of the frame, and the top arc-shaped locking block is slidably connected to the outer perimeter of the frame. The two ends of the first tension springs are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two arc-shaped locking blocks, and the T-shaped insert engages with the inner wall of the arc-shaped locking block. One side of the arc-shaped locking block and one side of the T-shaped insert are both inclined structures that abut against each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a rotating seat, an extension rod, a slider, and a T-shaped locking block. One end of the extension rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating seat, and the bottom of the extension rod abuts against the bottom wall of the rotating seat. A through-groove is provided on the bottom wall of the extension rod. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extension rod. One end of the T-shaped locking block is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider, and the middle part of the T-shaped locking block is slidably connected to the long groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting assembly also includes a second tension spring, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension rod and the slider, respectively. The rotating seat and the other end of the extension rod are both provided with grooves, and the inner wall of the grooves abuts against the T-shaped block.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting assembly also includes a fixing ring, one end of which passes through the other end of the T-shaped block and is rotatably connected thereto, and the other end of which passes through the T-shaped insert and is rotatably connected thereto. The rotating seat is fixedly connected to the T-shaped insert, and one side of the float box is fixedly connected to the T-shaped insert.

[0014] Furthermore, limit grooves are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped block, and the inner wall of the limit groove abuts against the protrusions at both ends of the T-shaped insert.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a frame, lifting components, and connecting components, when adjusting the height and spacing of the planting pot, the planting pot is lifted, causing the top of the support rod to be lifted and slide horizontally. The support rod rotates vertically, and the H-shaped fastener slides between the two support rods. Then, the top of the support rod is fixed, and the two support rods are connected by the H-shaped fastener, so that the support rod, the frame, and the planting pot form a stable triangular structure to support the planting pot, thereby increasing the height of the planting pot. Then, by extending the distance between two adjacent frames through the connecting components, the spacing between the planting pots is expanded, optimizing the plant's growth space and improving the algae suppression effect.

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual images. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments of this utility model, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The floating island shown includes multiple planting pots 1 and multiple floating boxes 11. The floating boxes 11 are detachably installed around the planting pots 1. It also includes multiple frames 12, multiple lifting components 2, multiple connecting components 3, and multiple quick-release components 4. The frames 12 are fitted around the planting pots 1. The lifting components 2 include a support mechanism 20. The support mechanism 20 includes a pair of support rods 21 and H-shaped fasteners 22. The two support rods 21 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the frame 12. The bottom of the support rods 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 12. The top of the support rods 21 is horizontally slidably connected to one side of the planting pot 1. The two sides of the H-shaped fasteners 22 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two support rods 21 respectively. The two frames 12 are detachably connected by the connecting components 3 and a pair of quick-release components 4. The connecting components 3 are used to adjust the spacing between the frames 12.

[0033] When deploying the floating island, different types of plants are planted into planting pots 1. Multiple frames 12 are spliced ​​together using quick-release components 4 and connecting components 3 to form a complete floating island. Then, floating boxes 11 are installed around the floating island using quick-release components 4, and the floating island is placed in the target water area. As the plants grow, some plants require more space and height. At this time, the planting pot 1 is lifted, causing the top of the support rod 21 to be lifted and slide horizontally. The support rod 21 rotates vertically, and the H-shaped fastener 22 slides between two support rods 21. Then, the top of the support rod 21 is fixed, and the two support rods 21 are connected by the H-shaped fastener 22, so that the support rod 21, the frame 12, and the planting pot 1 form a stable triangular structure supporting the planting pot 1, thereby increasing the height of the planting pot 1. Then, the distance between two adjacent frames 12 is extended by connecting components 3, thereby expanding the interval between planting pots 1, raising the height of the planting pot 1, optimizing the growth space of the plants, and improving the algae suppression effect.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there is a pair of support mechanisms 20, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the planting pot 1. The support assembly also includes multiple limiting blocks 23 and multiple knobs 24. The multiple limiting blocks 23 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the planting pot 1 and are horizontally spaced. The inner wall of the limiting block 23 is engaged with the top of the support rod 21. The top of the planting pot 1 has multiple through grooves 10, which are slidably connected to the limiting blocks 23. The inner wall of the groove 10 has a stepped structure. The knobs 24 are rotatably connected to the top of the limiting blocks 23. The bottom edge of the knobs 24 abuts against the top of the planting pot 1 and the bottom wall of the grooves 10.

[0035] The symmetrically arranged support mechanism 20 prevents the planting pot 1 from tilting. When the top of the support rod 21 slides horizontally, the bottom of the knob 24 abuts against the top of the planting pot 1. At this time, the limiting block 23 is located in the slide groove 10, preventing it from obstructing the rotation of the support rod 21. When the support rod 21 moves to the appropriate position, the corresponding knob 24 is rotated, causing it to slide down into the slide groove 10 together with the limiting block 23. At this time, the bottom of the limiting block 23 slides out of the slide groove 10. The planting pot 1 is then released to descend, and the support rod 21 is compressed and rotated back to its original position, with its top engaging the limiting block 23, thus completing the fixation. Furthermore, the multiple limiting blocks 23 are horizontally spaced, allowing for multi-level height adjustment of the planting pot 1, further enhancing its practicality.

[0036] like Figure 8As shown, the quick-release assembly 4 includes a pair of arc-shaped locking blocks 40, a T-shaped insert 41, and multiple first tension springs 42. The two arc-shaped locking blocks 40 can form a ring structure. The bottom arc-shaped locking block 40 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the frame 12, and the top arc-shaped locking block 40 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the frame 12. The two ends of the first tension springs 42 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two arc-shaped locking blocks 40, respectively. The T-shaped insert 41 engages with the inner wall of the arc-shaped locking block 40. One side of the arc-shaped locking block 40 and one side of the T-shaped insert 41 are both inclined structures and abut against each other.

[0037] The arc-shaped locking block 40 has limiting grooves 400 on both sides, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 400 abuts against the protrusions at both ends of the T-shaped insert block 41.

[0038] Push the T-shaped insert 41 so that one end aligns with the two arc-shaped locking blocks 40 and inserts it. The inclined surface of the T-shaped insert 41 and the arc-shaped locking blocks 40 press against each other, causing the top arc-shaped locking block 40 to rise. The first tension spring 42 is stretched. As the T-shaped insert 41 enters the arc-shaped locking block 40, the first tension spring 42 rebounds, causing the top arc-shaped locking block 40 to return to its original position. The two arc-shaped locking blocks 40 form a ring structure to lock the T-shaped insert 41, thus enabling a quick connection. Furthermore, the protrusions at both ends of the T-shaped insert 41 are located within the limiting grooves 400, which prevents the T-shaped insert 41 from rotating. When disassembly is required, simply lift the top arc-shaped locking block 40 and pull out the T-shaped insert 41 for quick separation.

[0039] For example, 5 to Figure 7 As shown, the connecting assembly 3 includes a rotating seat 30, an extension rod 31, a slider 32, and a T-shaped locking block 33. One end of the extension rod 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating seat 30, and the bottom of the extension rod 31 abuts against the bottom wall of the rotating seat 30. A through groove 310 is provided on the bottom wall of the extension rod 31. The slider 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extension rod 31. One end of the T-shaped locking block 33 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider 32, and the middle part of the T-shaped locking block 33 is slidably connected to the groove 310.

[0040] The connecting assembly 3 also includes a second tension spring 34, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension rod 31 and the slider 32, respectively. The other end of the rotating seat 30 and the extension rod 31 are both provided with a groove 300, and the inner wall of the groove 300 abuts against the T-shaped block 33.

[0041] When it is necessary to extend the spacing between the planting pots 1, one of the frames 12 is pulled, causing the T-shaped insert 41 to disengage the T-shaped latch 33 from the groove 300 on the rotating seat 30 and move horizontally. The T-shaped latch 33 slides along the long groove 310 and moves away from the rotating seat 30, while simultaneously pulling the slider 32 to slide within the extension rod 31. At this time, the extension rod 31 rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state, with its bottom abutting against the bottom wall of the rotating seat 30. The second tension spring 34 is stretched. After the extension rod 31 rotates to a horizontal state, one end of the T-shaped latch 33 rotates 90 degrees within the slider 32. At the same time, the rebound force of the second tension spring 34 causes the T-shaped latch 33 to abut against the extension rod 31 and slide into the groove 300 on the extension rod 31, preventing slippage. This extends the length of the connecting assembly 3 and moves the two frames 12 further apart, increasing the spacing between the planting pots 1.

[0042] For example, 2 to Figure 7 As shown, the connecting component 3 also includes a fixing ring 35. One end of the fixing ring 35 passes through the other end of the T-shaped card block 33 and is rotatably connected to it. The other end of the fixing ring 35 passes through the T-shaped insert 41 and is rotatably connected to it. The rotating seat 30 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped insert 41. One side of the float box 11 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped insert 41.

[0043] When the T-shaped locking block 33 moves, the retaining ring 35 rotates between the T-shaped insert 41 and the T-shaped locking block 33, adjusting the angle and consuming the travel of the extension rod 31 to prevent the frame 12 from obstructing its rotation. By connecting the two ends of the component 3 and the T-shaped insert 41 on the floating island, they can be installed on the periphery of the frame 12 respectively, realizing the rapid assembly of the entire floating island.

[0044] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to this utility model. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, should be within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, some terminology used in this application specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
