Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ecological floating islands, and particularly to an ecological floating island that is floatingly installed in a water area for growing aquatic plants, providing a living environment for organisms, and purifying water quality.

Background Art

[0002] With the progress of environmental pollution, the deterioration of the water ecosystem has become increasingly serious globally, and problems such as water quality decline and biodiversity decline have occurred. As conventional water ecological restoration technologies, artificial wetlands, planting of aquatic plants, etc. are used. Although these can improve water quality to a certain extent, they have problems such as high construction costs, difficult maintenance and management, limited applicable locations, and difficulty in coping with water level fluctuations.

[0003] Many of the artificial floating island technologies existing in the market adopt a base such as plastic or polystyrene as a buoyancy support. However, these materials may contain plasticizers and have potential pollution risks to water bodies and the ecological environment. In addition, conventional floating islands do not have a sufficient structure suitable for organisms to inhabit, and it is difficult for operators to enter the floating island structure during daily maintenance and management. Furthermore, they are prone to overturning, drifting or damage due to strong winds, floods or changes in water flow, which may affect their ecological functions.

[0023] Refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the structure of the ecological floating island 1000 according to the present invention, and Figure 2 shows the structure of the floating platform layer 100 of the ecological floating island 1000. As shown in Figure 1, the ecological floating island 1000 comprises a floating platform layer 100, a coconut fiber layer 200, and a planting layer 300. The floating platform layer 100 is used to provide buoyancy, and the coconut fiber layer 200 is used to fix the seeds of aquatic plants, making them suitable for seed germination, and further to fix the root systems of aquatic plants so that the aquatic plants stand upright on the water surface.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the float layer 100 includes rectangular floats 110 and triangular floats 120. A single row of floats is formed by multiple rectangular floats 110 and one triangular float 120. For example, the first, second, third, and fourth single rows of floats shown in Figure 2 include seventeen rectangular floats 110 and one triangular float 120, the second single row of floats includes fifteen rectangular floats 110 and one triangular float 120, the third single row of floats includes thirteen rectangular floats 110 and one triangular float 120, and the fourth single row of floats includes eleven rectangular floats 110 and one triangular float 120.

[0025] Refer to Figures 3 and 4. In one embodiment, the ecological floating island 1000 is further equipped with a fourth cable tie 400.

Specifically, the first mesh 113 side of the rectangular floating base 110 is oriented upwards, and the rectangular frame 111 and the first drain pipe assembly 115 side are oriented downwards. Then, the coconut fiber mat 210 is laid on top of the first mesh 113 of the rectangular floating base 110, and the coconut fiber mat 210 and the rectangular floating base 110 are connected and fixed together with the fourth cable tie 400.

[0050] Refer to Figure 11. In one embodiment, the ecological floating island 1000 further comprises a fixed assembly 600. The fixed assembly 600 is connected and fixed to the shore and connected and fixed to the floating platform layer 100, thereby fixing the floating platform layer 100 and the ecological floating island 1000.

[0051] In one embodiment, the fixed assembly 600 includes a fixing member 610 and a connecting member 620. The fixing member 610 is fixed to the shore, and the connecting member 620 is connected and fixed to the fixing member 610 and the floating platform layer 100, respectively. The fixing member 610 may be made of wood or a metal rod, and is inserted into the shore to function as an anchor. The connecting member 620 may be made of metal wire or rope, and is tied to the four edges of the floating platform layer 100, fixing the floating platform layer 100 to the anchor. The fixed assembly 600 can be made to blend in with the surrounding environment by covering it with vegetation or other decorations. Depending on the characteristics of the water body and the actual needs, methods such as anchor fixing with connecting members, gabion fixing, and floating anchor systems can be selected to fix the ecological floating island and adapt to different water body current environments.

[0052] The ecological effects of this invention's floating islands include reducing the impact on existing plants and the environment by selecting native aquatic plant species. The aquatic plants reshape the vegetation, providing terrestrial organisms such as insects and birds with spaces for breeding, hiding, and resting. Furthermore, the root systems of the aquatic plants below the floating platform create complex spaces that can be utilized by aquatic insects and fish. By regularly maintaining the aquatic plants, the ecological functions of the floating islands can be ensured, and the biodiversity of the aquatic environment can be improved.

[0053] Regarding its effect on water quality, the assembly materials used for the ecological floating islands are suitable for outdoor use. The pipe covers enclose the PVC pipes, suppressing damage and weathering from prolonged sunlight. By using coconut fiber, a natural material, as a growth medium for plants, water pollution can be suppressed. Aquatic plants on the ecological floating islands can absorb pollutants in the water and provide a water purification function. Since heavy machinery is not used in the assembly and anchoring processes, the generation of dust and bottom sediment during construction can be minimized, and no substances can be discharged into the water during construction and operation.

[0054] As a visual effect, under regular maintenance, the ecological floating islands can be covered with multiple types of plants, resembling a floating garden on the water's surface or an extension of riparian vegetation. Since the fixed structures along the shore can also be covered with plants, the visual impact of the ecological floating islands on the environment can be minimized.

[0055] As described above, the ecological floating island according to this invention comprises a floating platform layer, a coconut fiber layer, and a planting layer. Rectangular and triangular floating platforms are connected and fixed, coconut fiber mats and artificial turf are fixed to each floating platform, and aquatic plants are planted in the coconut fiber mats. This allows environmentally friendly buoyancy support, plant growth medium, biological habitat, maintenance pathway, and shoreline fixing structure to function as an integrated unit, improving environmental friendliness, durability, maintainability, and stability.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above technical features can be used in any combination as long as they do not contradict each other. The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. Equivalent structural modifications or process modifications based on this specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications to other related technical fields, are all included in the claims for utility model registration of the present invention.
