Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of submerged plant planting blankets, and in particular to a submerged plant planting blanket. Background Technology

[0002] Submerged plant planting mats are flexible, sinkable artificial carriers laid on the bottom of water. Their surface has holes for planting plants. They mainly provide a stable substrate, resist water erosion, and prevent floating, thus helping plant roots to quickly settle into the bottom mud, thereby significantly improving the survival rate. They are a key tool for restoring degraded aquatic ecosystems.

[0003] Currently, most common planting mats use plant fiber felt as the main body, with counterweight bags directly fixed by sewing or binding. This fixing method has the following shortcomings in practical applications: 1. In turbulent water, the counterweight bags cause localized stress concentration in the soft planting mat, making it prone to tearing and enlarged pores, ultimately leading to counterweight detachment, mat displacement, and difficulty in fixing it to the intended bottom of the water area. 2. Traditional rectangular planting mats lack flow-guiding and buffering structures at the edges, making the water-facing edges prone to negative pressure "rolling" under the impact of waves or currents, causing the entire mat to fold and float, resulting in the submerged plants being pulled up along with it. 3. Traditional planting mats cannot be spliced, making it difficult to lay them according to the conditions of the water bottom. 4. Traditional planting mats sink directly to the bottom, making it impossible to recycle or maintain them when the planting effect of submerged plants is unsatisfactory or when the type of submerged plant is changed.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a submerged plant planting mat to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a submerged plant planting mat that solves the problems of easy tearing of the fixed part of the counterweight in the planting mat, curling and floating of the edge of the planting mat due to water flow impact, and the inability to splice and recycle traditional planting mats.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a submerged plant planting mat, including a planting mat with several planting holes evenly distributed on the upper surface, which run through the thickness direction for planting and fixing submerged plants; the periphery of the planting mat has a beveled surface that slopes downward and outward from the outer edge of the upper surface, with the beveled surface at an angle of 25-65 degrees to the planting mat, which is used to reduce the impact of water flow and prevent the edges from curling up; the outer surface of the planting mat is entirely covered with a mesh bag, which fixes and binds the planting mat.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the mesh bag also includes a net bag, which completely covers the outer surface of the planting blanket.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the mesh shape of the net bag is either rhomboid or square.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that a fixing rope extends from each of the four corners of the net body, and the fixing rope is used to extend to the shore for fixation.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that several rings are fitted on both ends of the net body that are laterally opposite, and each ring is connected to an installation rope. The installation rope is used to detachably connect to the counterweight bag, thereby increasing the anti-buoyancy and anti-impact of the planting blanket through the counterweight bag.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: any end face of the net body in the longitudinal direction is an opening area, and several binding straps are provided on the upper and lower edges of the net body at the opening area. The binding straps are used to tighten and seal the opening area in the net body to achieve the sealing of the net body.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that: both ends of the net body are open areas, and several binding straps are provided on the upper and lower edges of the net area. The binding straps are fixedly connected to the corresponding binding straps in the net A for assembly.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the net bag and net bag A have the same structure and size.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides a submerged plant planting mat, wherein the four sides of the planting mat body are obliquely cut at 25-65 degrees, which can effectively guide the water flow to climb and detach along the oblique surface, greatly reducing the frontal impact force and edge negative pressure of the water flow on the mat body, effectively avoiding the planting mat folding and floating caused by the curling of the edges of the traditional rectangular mat body. The tilt angle significantly improves the stability of the planting mat in the water flow disturbance environment.

[0015] 2. This utility model provides a submerged plant planting mat. The method of fixing the counterweight bag is changed from the traditional method of directly and rigidly connecting the counterweight bag to the planting mat body to a detachable connection between the counterweight bag and the net bag inside the mesh bag that covers the entire planting mat, with ropes installed on both sides. This transforms the inertial tension applied by the counterweight from localized concentrated stress into a uniformly distributed load throughout the entire net bag. The impact force of the water flow is absorbed and transmitted through the high-strength structure of the net bag itself, rather than acting directly on the relatively soft planting mat body. This fundamentally avoids tearing and damage to the planting mat caused by localized stress concentration, effectively protecting the structural integrity of the planting mat.

[0016] 3. The present invention provides a submerged plant planting mat. The mesh bag completely covers the planting mat, ensuring that the entire planting mat can be retrieved during recycling. Traditional planting mats do not have a recycling function when the planting effect of the submerged plant is not ideal or when the type of submerged plant is changed. This application uses the fixing ropes at the four corners of the mesh bag to lift up the entire submerged plant planting mat for replacement and maintenance.

[0017] 4. The present invention provides a submerged plant planting mat, which achieves rapid splicing by setting opening areas and binding straps on both sides of the net bag; by setting multiple binding straps on the upper and lower edges of the opening area in the net bag, and connecting and fixing the binding straps to multiple binding straps on the upper and lower edges of the opening area in another net bag, rapid splicing can be achieved, and precise laying can be carried out according to the water conditions, increasing the overall load and stability of the planting mat.

[0024] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1 like Figure 1-7As shown, this embodiment provides a submerged plant planting mat, including a planting mat 1. The upper surface of the planting mat 1 has several planting holes 2 evenly distributed throughout its thickness for planting and fixing submerged plants. The perimeter of the planting mat 1 has oblique cut surfaces 3 that slope downwards and outwards from the outer edge of the upper surface. The angle between the oblique cut surfaces 3 and the planting mat 1 is 25-65 degrees. The oblique cut surfaces 3 are used to reduce water flow impact and prevent the edges from curling up. The outer surface of the planting mat 1 is entirely covered with a mesh bag 4, which fixes and binds the planting mat 1. Specifically, the planting mat 1 is a commercially available product and will not be described in detail here. The planting mat 1 is composed of biodegradable coconut fiber or polylactic acid three-dimensional mesh. The planting mat 1 uses biodegradable materials, which, after fulfilling its function of assisting planting, can gradually decompose in the natural environment and eventually transform into environmentally harmless substances. The density of the planting mat 1 is 90–160 kg / m³, and its thickness is 20–40 mm, providing solid and stable physical support for the plants. The upper surface of the planting mat 1 has several planting holes 2 that run through the thickness direction, which are used for planting and fixing submerged plants; it provides a channel for the roots of the plants to grow downward, guides the roots to quickly penetrate into the bottom mud, and improves the survival rate in the early stage of planting. The planting holes 2 have a diameter of 20–40 mm, and the center distance between adjacent planting holes 2 is 50–100 mm, providing independent growth space for each plant and avoiding resource competition caused by overcrowding. The planting mat 1 has a sloping surface 3 that slopes downward and outward from the outer edge of the upper surface. The angle between the sloping surface 3 and the upper surface of the planting mat 1 is 25–65 degrees. The planting mat 1 is trapezoidal in shape and is completely covered by a mesh bag 4, which fixes and binds the planting mat 1. The sloping surface 3 can effectively guide the water flow to climb up and detach from the surface, significantly reducing the frontal impact force and local negative pressure of the water flow on the edge of the mat. This effectively prevents the rectangular mat from folding and floating due to edge curling, and significantly improves the stability of the planting mat in a water-turbulent environment.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the mesh bag 4 also includes a net bag 41, which completely covers the outer surface of the planting mat 1. Any end face of the net bag 41 along its longitudinal direction is an opening area 46. Several binding straps 45 are evenly arranged along the upper and lower edges of the net bag 41 above and below the opening area 46. The binding straps 45 are connected in pairs to tighten and seal the opening area 46 in the net bag 41, enabling rapid filling and sealing of the net bag 41. Specifically, an opening area is provided on one longitudinal side of the net bag 41, and several binding straps 45 are correspondingly arranged along the upper and lower edges of this opening area. The binding straps 45 are connected to each other to tighten and seal the planting mat filled in the net bag 41, preventing the planting mat from scattering, facilitating the submerged laying of the planting mat, and improving the laying efficiency of the submerged planting mat.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown in this embodiment, several rings 43 are fitted onto both transversely opposite end faces of the net bag 41 body. Each ring 43 is connected to an installation rope 44, which is used for detachable connection with a counterweight bag (not shown in the figure). The counterweight bag increases the buoyancy and impact resistance of the planting mat 1. Specifically, several rings 43 are fitted onto both transversely opposite end faces of the net bag 41 body, and each ring 43 is connected to an installation rope 44. The installation rope 44 is used for detachable connection with the counterweight bag. The counterweight bag is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The counterweight bag is filled with small sand and gravel. The installation rope 44 is fixed to the net bag through the rings. The multi-point distributed connection method avoids stress concentration that could tear the planting mat. Its overall wrapping structure effectively protects the planting mat from external damage. The mesh bag adopts a high-strength flexible mesh bag structure, which evenly distributes the impact force of external water flow and the tension of the counterweight to the entire mesh surface, avoiding stress concentration that could cause local tearing and structural damage to the planting mat, and significantly extending the service life of the planting mat.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the mesh bag 4 also includes a net bag 41, which completely covers the outer surface of the planting mat 1. The mesh shape of the net bag 41 is either rhomboid or square. A fixing rope 42 extends from each of the four corners of the net bag 41, and the fixing rope 42 is used to extend to the shore for fixation. Specifically, the mesh bag 4 also includes a net bag 41, which completely covers the outer periphery of the planting mat 1, forming a protective cover with uniform force distribution. The mesh shape of the net bag 41 is preferably rhomboid. A fixing rope 42 extends from each of the four corners of the net bag 41. The fixing rope 42 is located at the intersection of the bottom lines of the net bag 41 body. The fixing rope 42 is used to extend to the shore and fix to the land, making it convenient for users to pull the fixing rope 42 to retrieve the planting mat; the fixing ropes 42 extending from the four corners of the net bag 41 form a distributed anchorage, enhancing the overall stability of the planting mat. The mesh bag completely covers the planting mat, ensuring that the entire planting mat can be retrieved during recycling. Traditional planting mats do not have a recycling function when the planting effect of the submerged plant is not ideal or when the type of submerged plant is changed. This application can retrieve the entire submerged plant planting mat for replacement and maintenance by fixing ropes at the four corners of the mesh bag.

[0029] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, both longitudinally opposite ends of the net bag 41 are open areas 46. Several binding straps 45 are evenly arranged along the edges of the net bag 41 above and below the open areas 46. These binding straps 45 are connected and fixed to the corresponding binding straps 45 in the net bag A51 for assembly. The net bag 41 and net bag A51 have the same structure, size, and shape. Specifically, the planting blanket achieves rapid splicing of two planting blankets by providing open areas and multiple binding straps on both sides of the net bag. These binding straps are tied together in pairs; the binding straps can also be connected to the installation rope in the net bag to achieve side splicing; this allows for rapid and accurate laying in different water areas and improves the overall stability of the planting blanket.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
