The present invention relates to an ocean engineering technology, and in particular to a floatable flow-resisting and sand-resisting multi-functional device.
With the deployment of the “maritime power” strategy, China has started to be committed to developing ocean, utilizing ocean, and protecting ocean, and meanwhile, ocean engineering has been developed rapidly. A traditional fixed ocean device is seriously limited by the depth of water and is high in manufacturing cost, resulting in the research and development of a floatable ocean device by people. In recent years, the development prospect of the floatable ocean device has changed quickly.
Seawater ecological breeding plays an important role in marine economy, making important contributions to development of the marine economy, and meanwhile, satisfying requirements of people for seafood. But most existing marine breeding areas are close to harbors, in which the depth of seawater is small, and thereby being obviously limited by the depth of water of the areas, breeding single types of seafood, conflicting with the development of offshore engineering and influencing the offshore economy development. Moreover, the breeding areas are prone to be polluted, which may influence the fish survival and leads to the reduction of economic benefits. To avoid the area limitation of the seawater ecological breeding, the seawater ecological breeding needs to be developed to open seas where the depth of water is large, but to develop and utilize the seawater ecological breeding at the open seas, sea conditions of the breeding areas need to be fully considered to solve the problems that waves may damage the breeding areas and seawater may influence cultured fishes. Beyond that, the developments of offshore scenic spots and offshore recreational facilities play a very important role in the marine economy, this requires a stable state, small fluctuation and a small current speed of the seawater of areas where the developed offshore scenic spots are located, and cleanliness of the seawater needs to be ensured, so that tourists are attracted, the economic benefits are improved, but seawater of most sea areas in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea of China is turbid, which cannot realize development of the offshore tourist industry.
Objective of the invention: the present invention aims to provide a floatable flow-resisting and sand-resisting multi-functional device, which may meet a multi-function requirement of an existing ocean engineering device.
