Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic plant cultivation, and in particular to a modular, adjustable lifting aquatic plant cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of ecological civilization construction, the restoration and management of aquatic ecosystems such as lakes and wetlands are receiving increasing attention. Aquatic plants, especially submerged and emergent vegetation, play a crucial role as primary producers and structural supports in aquatic ecosystems, in purifying water quality, stabilizing bottom sediments, enhancing biodiversity, and restoring a healthy aquatic food chain.

[0003] In ecological restoration practices in high-latitude lake basins in northern China, such as Hulun Lake, the restoration of aquatic plants is a core component. However, the region's harsh climate, large waves, and fluctuating water levels pose significant technical challenges to the field planting and survival of aquatic plants. Currently, traditional methods for planting aquatic plants mainly include:

[0004] Scattering method: Plant seeds or propagules are directly scattered into the target water area. Although this method is highly efficient, the seeds are easily washed away by wind and waves, eaten by aquatic animals, or sunk into deep water areas and silt that are not suitable for germination, resulting in a very low success rate of establishment, especially in open water and deep water areas where it is almost ineffective.

[0005] Direct planting method: Divers or workers insert plant seedlings directly into the bottom mud. This method is effective in shallow water, but it is labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly. In environments with large waves, newly planted plants are easily uprooted or washed away; and in areas with a water depth of more than 1.5 meters, planting is difficult, and reduced light intensity affects the photosynthesis of seedlings, leading to a lower survival rate.

[0006] Fixed planting bed / floating island method: Setting up fixed planting beds or using floating island carriers. While this method provides some stability, it generally has the following drawbacks: First, the planting depth is usually fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to seasonal changes in water level or differences in depth in different areas, and making it difficult to ensure that plants are always in optimal light and water levels; second, the rigid structure is easily damaged by ice blasts and strong waves; third, traditional floating islands are only suitable for surface plants and cannot effectively solve the problem of fixed-depth planting of submerged plants.

[0007] In summary, existing technologies lack a dedicated device and technology for aquatic plant cultivation that can flexibly adapt to different water depths, effectively resist the impact of wind and waves, facilitate efficient deployment and retrieval in vast waters, and significantly improve plant survival rates in harsh environments. Therefore, developing a novel aquatic plant cultivation device that integrates adjustable height, portable assembly, and wind and wave resistant anchoring is urgently needed and has significant application value for overcoming the technical bottlenecks in wetland ecological restoration in high-altitude lake basins such as Hulun Lake. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular, adjustable lifting aquatic plant planting device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A modular, adjustable-lift aquatic plant planting device includes a planting module, an assembly frame module, and an anchoring module. The planting module is used to support aquatic plants. The assembly frame module floats on the water surface and has a through-hole in its middle, into which the planting module can be detachably installed. The anchoring module is anchored in the water and is fixedly connected to the assembly frame module. The assembly frame module has vertical sliding rods on both sides of the through-hole, with the lower part of the sliding rods submerged in the water and the upper part above or above the water surface.

[0011] The planting module has sliding seats on both the left and right sides that cooperate with the sliding rod. The planting module can be slidably installed on the sliding rod through the sliding seats and can be raised and lowered vertically along the sliding rod.

[0012] The assembly frame module is also equipped with at least one fixing ear, and a pull rope of a preset length is fixedly connected to the planting module. One end of the pull rope is connected to the fixing ear. When the planting module sinks to a predetermined depth in the water, the pull rope is straightened and the planting module is restricted from sinking further.

[0013] Further improvements to optimize the technical solution include:

[0014] The assembly frame module is equipped with an airbag, which provides buoyancy so that the assembly frame module floats on the water surface and keeps the slide bar in a vertical state with the upper part exposed above the water surface and the lower part submerged in the water.

[0015] The anchoring module includes: a spiral anchor, a main anchoring line, and a connecting seat. The spiral anchor is screwed into the bottom mud for fixation. The lower end of the main anchoring line is fixedly connected to the spiral anchor, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the connecting seat. The connecting seat is located at the water surface. The assembly frame module is detachably fixedly connected to the connecting seat.

[0016] The upper end of the slide rod is a free end, and the lower end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the assembly frame module through an L-shaped rod. The slide block is provided with a slide block hole that runs through the upper and lower parts of the slide rod. The slide block hole fits onto the slide rod from the upper end, so that the slide block can slide up and down relative to the slide rod.

[0017] The planting module is a biodegradable planting cup, which is filled with a culture medium for plant growth.

[0018] The pull rope is made of nylon or polyethylene and its length is adjusted and secured by a rope buckle, winch, or lockable reel.

[0019] The connector and the assembly frame module are detachably connected via spring hooks, D-rings, or figure-eight rings.

[0020] The assembly frame module is equipped with multiple connecting buckles, and adjacent assembly frame modules are connected to each other through the connecting buckles to form a network structure.

[0021] The technical advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. This invention achieves precise, flexible, and adaptive control of the planting depth of aquatic plants: by using a pre-set length of rope as a "limiter," it ensures that the planting module sinks precisely and remains stable at the predetermined optimal water depth. This avoids the problems of traditional scattering methods, where plants sink too deep (insufficient light) or too shallow (easily damaged by wind and waves) due to uncertain water depth. Based on the light compensation point and growth requirements of different aquatic plant species, as well as water level fluctuations in different seasons, different lengths of rope can be quickly replaced or adjusted to easily adjust the planting module depth, ensuring that the plants are always in the most suitable light and temperature environment, greatly improving survival rate and growth efficiency. The device of this invention is applicable to various habitats from shallow to deep water areas, solving the technical problems of fixed planting beds being unable to adapt to water level changes and the difficulty of planting in deep water.

[0023] 2. This invention significantly improves the stability of the device and the survival rate of plants in open water: The spiral anchor provides strong vertical gripping force, firmly anchoring the entire device to the seabed, effectively resisting the impact of wind and waves common in waters like Hulun Lake, preventing the device and plants from being washed away or displaced. The planting module is suspended through the cooperation of a sliding seat and a sliding rod, and is not rigidly connected to the assembly frame module, which acts as a float. The energy of wind and waves is mainly transferred through the anchoring module and absorbed and buffered by the floating frame, with minimal impact on the underwater planting module, providing a relatively stable growth environment for plant seedlings. Multiple devices can be connected in series via connectors to form a large-scale ecological restoration network. This distributed, networked structure further enhances overall stability, disperses local impact forces, and provides better resistance to wind and waves.

[0024] 3. This invention embodies high portability, operability, and planting efficiency: the device adopts a modular design, allowing for rapid disassembly, transportation, and on-site assembly of components without the need for large machinery or professional divers. This significantly reduces labor intensity and operating costs, making it particularly suitable for large-scale ecological restoration operations in remote, vast lake areas. The disassembled components are lightweight and compact, facilitating manual transport to areas inaccessible by vehicles and boats, achieving truly portable planting. The planting modules can be pre-cultivated uniformly on shore and directly placed into the frame upon arrival at the site, achieving a seamless integration of factory-style seedling cultivation and field planting, greatly improving planting efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application is described and illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are merely some examples or embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can apply this application to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without any inventive effort. Furthermore, it is understood that although the efforts made in this development process may be complex and lengthy, for those skilled in the art related to the content disclosed in this application, any changes to design, manufacturing, or production based on the technical content disclosed in this application are merely conventional technical means and should not be construed as insufficient disclosure of the content of this application.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the modular adjustable aquatic plant planting device provided in this embodiment is mainly composed of three modules: planting module 1, assembly frame module 2, and anchoring module 3.

[0036] First, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The planting module 1 is the core functional component of this device, used to support and cultivate aquatic plant seedlings. In this embodiment, the planting module 1 is preferably a biodegradable planting cup, which can be made of straw, coconut fiber, or hemp fiber, etc. The cup is filled with a culture medium optimized for aquatic plants, including local lake mud, water-retaining agent, and slow-release fertilizer, providing support and nutrients for the initial growth of the plants. Slide seats 11 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the planting module 1, and the center of the slide seat 11 has a through-hole. In addition, two pull ropes 12 are fixedly connected to the planting module 1. The pull ropes 12 are nylon ropes or polyethylene ropes, and their lengths can be preset according to the target planting water depth and can be adjusted and fixed by rope buckles or lockable retractors.

[0037] Secondly, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The assembled frame module 2 serves as the supporting skeleton and buoyancy source of the device, floating on the water surface. This module is preferably a frame assembled from lightweight PVC or aluminum alloy pipes using plug-in joints, with a through-hole 21 in the middle for placing the planting module 1. At least two vertical sliding rods 22 are vertically arranged on both sides of the through-hole 21. The lower end of the sliding rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame via an L-shaped rod 25, while the upper end is free in this embodiment and not connected to the upper part of the frame. This design facilitates the installation of the planting module 1. The assembled frame module 2 also has two fixing ears 23 for connecting the pull rope 12 of the planting module 1. To ensure buoyancy, an airbag 24 is installed on the frame, allowing it to float stably and keeping the sliding rods 22 vertically positioned with their upper parts above the water surface and their lower parts submerged. Multiple connecting buckles 26 are also provided around the frame for connecting multiple devices into a network.

[0038] Again, see Figure 5 The anchoring module 3 is used to stably anchor the entire device to the bottom of the water. It includes a helical anchor 31, a main anchoring line 32, and a connecting seat 33. The helical anchor 31 is shaped like a large screw and can be manually rotated and inserted into the silt at the bottom of the lake, providing strong vertical gripping force. The main anchoring line 32 is a high-strength nylon rope, with its lower end connected to the helical anchor 31 and its upper end fixed to the connecting seat 33. The connecting seat 33 is located at the water surface and is detachably fixed to the assembly frame module 2 via a spring hook or D-ring.

[0039] Finally, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The usage and working process of this utility model are as follows:

[0040] Onshore preparation: Seedlings of the target aquatic plants (such as Potamogeton pectinata, Myriophyllum spicatum, etc.) are pre-cultivated in planting module 1 (biodegradable cup). The length of the pull rope 12 is preset and fixed according to the planting depth of the target water area. The assembly frame module 2 is then fully assembled, and the airbag 24 is installed.

[0041] Device assembly: Insert the sliding holes of the sliding seats 11 on both sides of the planting module 1 into the free end of the upper end of the sliding rod 22, so that the planting module 1 is suspended on the sliding rod 22 through the sliding seats 11. Then, tie the free end of the pull rope 12 to the fixing ear 23.

[0042] Water Surface Deployment and Anchoring: The assembled device is placed in the water. The assembled frame module 2 floats under the buoyancy of the airbag 24, while the anchoring module 1 slides down the slide bar 22 due to its own weight. The construction personnel screw the helical anchor 31 into the water from the ship, and then quickly connect the connecting seat 33 to the floating assembled frame module 2.

[0043] Precise depth determination: such as Figure 7 As shown, during the sinking process, the planting module 1 is stopped when the rope 12 is taut. At this time, the planting module 1 is suspended at the predetermined depth in the water, and the plant seedlings are in the optimal light and water layer, and begin to grow.

[0044] Networking: Repeat the above operations to deploy multiple devices and connect them to each other using connector 26 to form a large-scale underwater ecological restoration area to jointly resist wind and waves.

[0045] Through the above-mentioned modular and adjustable design, this utility model has successfully achieved efficient and high survival rate planting of aquatic plants in different water depths and habitats, providing advanced special equipment for the ecological restoration of lakes and wetlands.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
