Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coastal ecological engineering technology, and more specifically, to an airbag-type mangrove planting assistance device. Background Technology

[0002] Mangroves, as a unique intertidal ecosystem in tropical and subtropical coastal areas, play important ecological functions such as wind and wave protection, seawater purification, carbon sequestration and storage, and maintaining biodiversity. However, in the current process of artificial mangrove planting, due to the loose intertidal soil and strong tidal erosion, seedlings are prone to lodging and tilting, resulting in a low survival rate. Existing mangrove planting assistance techniques mainly include fixed support methods, sandbag stabilization methods, and ecological gabion methods. Among them, the fixed support method mostly uses metal or plastic supports, which can provide stable support, but metal supports are prone to rust and environmental pollution, and plastic supports are difficult to degrade, and long-term retention will damage the intertidal ecosystem; the sandbag stabilization method uses sandbags to stabilize the roots of seedlings, but its stability is greatly affected by tidal impact, and the degradation period of sandbags does not match the rooting period of seedlings, which can easily lead to problems such as "seedlings falling over before the support degrades" or "supports failing before seedlings take root"; the ecological gabion method is costly and complicated to operate, and is not suitable for large-scale seedling planting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mangrove planting assistance device that can be adapted to the intertidal environment, provide precise initial support for seedlings, and leave no residual pollution to the ecosystem. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an airbag-type mangrove planting assistance device, which solves the problems of unstable support, ecological pollution, high cost, and complicated operation of existing mangrove planting assistance devices, and achieves precise, environmentally friendly, and convenient support for mangrove seedlings, thereby improving the survival rate of planting.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An airbag-type mangrove planting assistance device includes root airbags, trunk airbags, inflation nozzles, and quick-release connectors.

[0005] The root airbag, when closed, forms a tubular structure adapted to the tree, used to be fitted onto the tree near the root for support. When closed, the trunk airbag is a cylindrical structure adapted to the tree. Its diameter is smaller than that of the root airbag, and its inner diameter is the same as that of the root airbag. It is used to fit on the trunk of the tree for support. The inflation nozzle is located on the circumferential surface of the main airbag and is used to connect an external air pump for inflation. The quick-release connectors are provided in multiple sets, evenly distributed at the openings of the main airbag and the root airbag, for connecting and fixing the openings of the main airbag and the root airbag.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple sets of airbag balls are evenly distributed on the circumferential surface of the root airbag.

[0007] Furthermore, the root air bladder and the main trunk air bladder are connected by a connecting hole, and the air bladder balls are connected to each other through the connecting hole between the root air bladders.

[0008] Furthermore, the root airbag, trunk airbag, and airbag bulb are all made of biodegradable materials.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the root airbag is provided with multiple sets of ground spikes along the axial direction, and the ground spikes have a structure in which the lower end is inclined outward.

[0010] Furthermore, the quick-release connector includes a female buckle, a male buckle, and a strap; the female buckle is fixedly connected to a strap at its tail end, the male buckle is fixedly connected to a strap at its tail end, the female buckle and the male buckle are detachably inserted and connected, and the other end of the strap is fixedly connected to the main airbag and the root airbag.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a combination structure of root airbags, airbag balls, and inclined ground spikes to increase the contact area between the roots and the soil, and enhance the resistance to erosion through the inclined hook-type fixation of the ground spikes; the main trunk airbags provide support for the upper part of the seedling, forming a double protection of root fixation and main trunk support, effectively preventing the seedlings from falling over.

[0012] 2. The root air bladders, trunk air bladders, and air bladder balls in this utility model are all made of biodegradable materials. The degradation cycle matches the seedling rooting cycle. They degrade automatically after the seedlings stabilize, and will not pollute the intertidal soil, water quality, or organisms, which is in line with the environmental protection priority principle of ecological restoration.

[0013] 3. It adopts an inflatable design, which can be quickly inflated through the air nozzle; the quick-release connector allows for quick installation and fixation of the airbag, without the need for professional equipment, and can be operated by a single person; the material cost is lower than that of metal brackets and gabions, making it suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0014] 4. By adjusting the tightness of the quick-release connectors and the elastic deformation of the airbag, it can be adapted to mangrove seedlings of different diameters, eliminating the need for customization for different sizes of seedlings and making it highly versatile.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a mangrove planting assistance device includes a root airbag 3, a trunk airbag 1, an inflation nozzle 5, and a quick-release connector 2.

[0024] After the root airbag 3 is closed, it forms a cylindrical structure that fits the area near the roots of mangrove seedlings. It is used to cover the area near the roots of seedlings to provide radial support and fixation for the roots. Multiple sets of airbag balls 4 are evenly distributed on its circumference, which can increase the contact area between the roots and the soil and improve the resistance to erosion.

[0025] Multiple sets of ground spikes 6 are arranged axially at the bottom of the root airbag 3. The ground spikes 6 have a structure with the lower end inclined outward. After being inserted into the soil, they can form an inclined hook-like fixation to further resist the impact of tides on the roots.

[0026] After the main trunk air bladder 1 is closed, it forms a cylindrical structure that fits the main trunk of the mangrove seedling. Its diameter is smaller than that of the root air bladder 3, which fits the seedling's shape of being thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top. Its inner diameter is the same as that of the root air bladder 3, ensuring consistent fit with the seedling and avoiding local compression damage. It is used to cover the main trunk area of ​​the seedling to provide support for the upper part of the seedling and prevent it from falling over.

[0027] The inflation nozzle 5 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the main airbag 1 and is used to connect an external air pump to inflate the device, making it easy to operate.

[0028] The quick-release connector 2 is provided in multiple sets, evenly distributed at the openings of the trunk airbag 1 and the root airbag 3, for quick connection and fixation of the airbag openings; its specific structure includes a female buckle 21, a male buckle 22 and a binding strap 23. The tail ends of the female buckle 21 and the male buckle 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the binding strap 23. The other end of the binding strap 23 is fixedly connected to the edge of the opening of the trunk airbag 1 or the root airbag 3. The female buckle 21 and the male buckle 22 can be detachably inserted to achieve the closing and disassembly of the airbag opening, making it easy to put on the seedling trunk.

[0029] In addition, the root airbag 3 and the main trunk airbag 1 are connected by a connecting hole 7, and the root airbag 3 and each airbag ball 4 are also connected by a connecting hole 7. When inflating, the gas can enter the main trunk airbag 1 through the inflation nozzle 5, and then be simultaneously filled into the root airbag 3 and airbag ball 4 through the connecting hole 7, eliminating the need for multiple inflations and improving operational efficiency.

[0030] Meanwhile, the root air bladder 3, the trunk air bladder 1, and the air bladder ball 4 are all made of biodegradable materials such as biodegradable polylactic acid. Their degradation cycle can be designed according to the rooting cycle of mangrove seedlings, usually 3-6 months, matching the time for seedlings to stabilize their roots. After the seedling roots are fully rooted in the soil, the material degrades naturally without any ecological residue.

[0031] Example 2: This embodiment provides the working principle of an airbag-type mangrove planting assistance device: With the root airbag 3 and the main airbag 1 of this device in an uninflated state, open the female buckle 21 and male buckle 22 of the quick-release connector 2 to open the airbag opening.

[0032] Set in place: Place the root airbag 3 on the area near the roots of the mangrove seedling, and adjust its position so that the bottom spike rod 6 is aligned with the soil. Place the trunk airbag 1 on the trunk area of ​​the seedling, ensuring that the two airbags fit snugly against the seedling without any obvious gaps. Close the openings of the root airbag 3 and the trunk airbag 1, and connect them by inserting the female buckle 21 and male buckle 22 of the quick-release connector 2. Tighten the strap 23 to fix the airbags.

[0033] Connect the inflation hose of the external air pump to the inflation nozzle 5 on the main airbag 1, and start the air pump to inflate; the gas fills the main airbag 1, the root airbag 3 and the airbag ball 4 in sequence through the connecting hole 7 until the airbag is fully inflated, and then close the inflation nozzle 5.

[0034] After inflation, the device fixes the seedling roots with root airbags 3, airbag balls 4 and ground spikes 6, and supports the upper part of the seedling with main trunk airbags 1 to resist erosion by tides and lodging caused by loose soil. After 3-6 months, the seedling roots are fully rooted in the soil, and the biodegradable material of the device degrades naturally, integrates into the environment, and leaves no residue.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
