Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freshwater pond aquaculture, specifically a freshwater pond aerator. Background Technology
[0002] Pond aeration refers to increasing the dissolved oxygen content in pond water through various methods during the aquaculture process to improve water quality and promote the healthy growth of farmed organisms. Aeration is a crucial step in aquaculture, directly impacting aquaculture results and economic benefits.
[0003] In the prior art, such as in CN214546634U, a microcontroller-based aerator for aquaculture ponds is disclosed. It includes an aerator body, a first float sleeve, and a second float sleeve. The first float sleeve and the second float sleeve are stacked and both are fitted onto the outside of the aerator body. Connecting seats are screwed to both sides of the aerator body by fastening screws. The surface of the connecting seat is provided with a circular groove that matches the fastening screw. A motor is installed inside the connecting seat on the side opposite to the first float sleeve.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent effectively improves oxygenation by combining the spraying oxygenation method of the aerator itself with the water-dispersing oxygenation method of the water-dispersing wheel powered by the motor, the fish in the pond tend to gather at the oxygenation point during oxygenation. The agitation can injure the fish, and the sprayed oxygen is often too far from the dispersing point, causing the oxygen to float upwards in the water, resulting in low efficiency in oxygenation. Therefore, this paper proposes a freshwater pond aerator to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, during aeration, fish in the pond tend to gather at the aeration point. The stirring and agitation can injure the fish, causing damage. Furthermore, the aeration point is far from the agitation point, and the sprayed oxygen floats upwards in the water, resulting in low efficiency of aeration. This invention proposes a freshwater pond aerator.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The freshwater pond aerator of this utility model includes an L-shaped support plate; an mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped support plate, a drive motor is provided on the front of the mounting plate, a transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a drive component is connected to one end of the transmission rod.
[0007] The drive assembly includes a toothed shaft A fixed to one end of a transmission rod. The toothed shaft A is connected to a toothed shaft B via a toothed belt. The toothed shaft B has an internal directional hole. A long oxygen delivery tube is fitted into the directional hole. A fixing sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the long oxygen delivery tube. Two cross-distributed stirring rings are fixed to the surface of the fixing sleeve. A fixing frame is rotatably connected to the surface of the long oxygen delivery tube above the fixing sleeve. A protective net covering the stirring rings is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame.
[0008] Preferably, an oxygenation pump is provided on the back of the mounting plate, and the oxygenation pump is connected to the long oxygen delivery pipe through an L-tube connecting pipe and a rotary joint. An oxygenation head is provided at the bottom end of the long oxygen delivery pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a horizontal plate is fixed to one side of the bottom of the mounting plate, and a support rod is provided on one side of the top of the horizontal plate, which is rotatably connected to the toothed shaft A. A rotating hole is provided on the other side for the long oxygen delivery tube to pass through. The outer side of the horizontal plate is fixed to the top of the fixing frame by a connecting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the directional hole is provided with a wear-resistant coating, and the long oxygen delivery pipe is clearance-fitted with the directional hole and can slide along the axial direction.
[0011] Preferably, the protective net is a stainless steel woven mesh, the edges of which are fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame by buckles, and the mesh size of the protective net is smaller than the minimum gap of the stirring ring.
[0012] Preferably, the rotary joint includes an outer ring and an inner ring, the outer ring is connected to the connecting pipe flange, and the inner ring is welded to the top of the long oxygen pipeline and can rotate relative to the outer ring at a certain angle.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model achieves synchronous rotation of the stirring ring and the long oxygen delivery pipe through the toothed belt drive design of the toothed shaft A and toothed shaft B in the drive assembly. This solves the problem of low dissolved oxygen efficiency caused by the separation of stirring and oxygen delivery positions in traditional aerators. The stirring ring agitates the water flow to make oxygen diffuse evenly. Combined with the micropore release of the oxygenation head, the dissolved oxygen efficiency is improved.

This utility model achieves the safety protection function for fish and shrimp through the structural design of wrapping the stirring ring with a protective net, and solves the problem of fish being accidentally injured by rotating parts. The mesh size of the stainless steel woven net is smaller than the gap of the stirring ring, which physically prevents fish and shrimp from getting close and reduces the damage rate.

The rotary joint 12 enables continuous oxygen delivery when the long oxygen delivery pipe 55 rotates.
[0027] Furthermore, a horizontal plate 6 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 2. A support rod 7 is provided on one side of the top of the horizontal plate 6 and is rotatably connected to the toothed shaft 51 of A.

[0035] Working principle: The drive motor 3 drives the toothed shaft A 51 through the transmission rod 4, which drives the toothed belt 52 to make the toothed shaft B 53 rotate synchronously. The toothed shaft B 53 drives the long oxygen supply pipe 55 and the cross stirring ring 57 on the fixed sleeve 56 through the directional hole 54 to stir the water. At the same time, the oxygen pump 9 delivers oxygen to the long oxygen supply pipe 55 through the L pipe 10, the connecting pipe 11 and the rotary joint 12. The oxygen is released as microbubbles through the gradually narrowing micro-holes of the oxygen head 13. The rotating water flow of the stirring ring 57 prolongs the residence time of the bubbles. The protective net 59 wraps the stirring ring 57 to prevent fish and shrimp from contacting the rotating parts. The L-shaped support plate 1 and the horizontal plate 6 provide stable support, realizing the integrated operation of stirring and oxygenation and safety protection.
