Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sturgeon farming technology, specifically to an auxiliary device for distinguishing the sex of sturgeon. Background Technology
[0002] Sturgeon is one of the largest, longest-lived, and oldest fish species in the world. Its flesh is delicious, its bones are soft, and its nutritional value is high, making it popular in domestic and international markets. Sturgeon caviar, made from the mature eggs of female sturgeon, is known as "black gold" and is the highest value-added product in sturgeon farming. To increase caviar production and reduce production costs, it is necessary to increase the proportion of female individuals in the farmed population. This requires people to distinguish the sex of sturgeon. However, sturgeon reach sexual maturity relatively late. Under natural conditions, female sturgeon generally need more than 10 years, and under artificial breeding conditions, it still takes 6 to 7 years. Furthermore, sturgeon do not have secondary sexual characteristics, making it difficult for people to quickly distinguish the sex of sturgeon by appearance.
[0003] Patent document CN220916213U discloses an auxiliary device for sexing sturgeon, including a frame and a flipping plate. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the frame. Through the arrangement of a water spraying assembly, a flipping assembly, and a clamping assembly, in use, motor A drives a lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves a moving ring. The moving ring then moves the clamping plate to clamp the sturgeon. Motor B then drives a rotating rod to rotate, which in turn flips the plate, causing the sturgeon's belly to face upwards. The sturgeon is then scanned using ultrasonic scanning, achieving rapid fixation and identification. Simultaneously, an external hose is connected to a water source, and water is delivered to a spraying plate through a water pipe to moisten the sturgeon's body surface, preventing dry skin damage and reduced survival rate.
[0004] However, when the device is used for sturgeon farming, the sprayed water will flow into the external environment, and the impurities in the water will pollute the external environment. Furthermore, direct discharge of the water after use will waste a lot of water resources, thereby increasing the cost of the device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for distinguishing the sex of sturgeon, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology where the sprayed water flows into the external environment during use, the impurities in the water pollute the external environment, and the direct discharge of the water after use wastes a lot of water resources, thereby increasing the cost of using the device.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary device for distinguishing the sex of sturgeon, including a workbench 1, a water trough plate 2 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the workbench 1, a circulation component 3 provided on the bottom surface of the water trough plate 2, a support plate 4 fixedly connected to the top surface of the workbench 1, a hydraulic rod 5 fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate 4, and a light-shielding component 6 fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 5.
[0027] Please see Figure 4 The circulation component 3 includes a water outlet pipe 301 disposed on the bottom surface of the water trough plate 2. A filter box 302 is disposed at one end of the water outlet pipe 301. Two sets of filter screens 303 are slidably connected inside the filter box 302. A storage box 304 is disposed on the bottom surface of the filter box 302. A water pump 305 is disposed on one side of the storage box 304. A water inlet pipe 306 is disposed at one end of the water pump 305.
[0028] When in use, water flows through the water outlet into the interior of the water trough plate 2, and then through the water outlet pipe 301 into the interior of the filter box 302. At this time, the filter screen 303 inside the filter box 302 filters the liquid after use. During filtration, impurities in the liquid remain on the filter screen 303. The filtered liquid enters the interior of the storage tank 304. The water pump 305 delivers the filtered water through the water inlet pipe 306 to the interior of the placement rack 10, and then sprays it onto the sturgeon through the nozzle 11. This not only keeps the sturgeon moist, but also saves some water resources.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 The light-shielding component 6 includes a light-shielding plate 601 fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 5, and a protective pad 602 is fixedly connected inside the light-shielding plate 601.
[0030] When in use, the hydraulic rod 5 moves the light shield 601, creating a relatively dark environment between the light shield 601 and the worktable 1. This helps reduce the stress response of the sturgeon caused by light stimulation, allowing it to undergo subsequent treatment or observation in a relatively quiet and comfortable environment, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the operation. The protective pad 602 prevents the light shield 601 from harming the sturgeon when it moves.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4The bottom surface of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to four sets of support legs 7. The surface of the workbench 1 is provided with several sets of water flow holes. The inside of the workbench 1 is provided with a threaded rod 8. The side of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a motor box 9. The motor box 9 is provided with a rotating motor. The outside of the threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to a placement rack 10. The bottom surface of the placement rack 10 is provided with several sets of nozzles 11. The surface of the workbench 1 is provided with two sets of mounting slots. One set of mounting slots is provided with a bidirectional lead screw 12. The outside of the bidirectional lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to two sets of clamping plates 13. The side of each clamping plate 13 is fixedly connected to several sets of limiting plates 14. The side of each limiting plate 14 is fixedly connected to a protective pad 15. The top surface of the storage box 304 is fixedly connected to a flow pipe 16. One end of the flow pipe 16 is threadedly connected to a sealing cap 17. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 12 is fixedly connected to a servo motor 18. The outside of the servo motor 18 is provided with a heat dissipation box 19.
[0032] In use, the support leg 7 supports the workbench 1. Water sprayed on the sturgeon flows onto the workbench 1 and enters the interior of the water trough plate 2 through the water outlet. The threaded rod 8 is used to move the placement rack 10. The motor box 9 is used to store the rotating motor. The movement of the placement rack 10 drives the nozzle 11 to move. The nozzle 11 is used to spray water on the sturgeon to keep it moist. The movement of the nozzle 11 can moisten the entire sturgeon and prevent its skin from drying and cracking. The mounting slot is used to install the bidirectional lead screw 12. The bidirectional lead screw 12 allows the two sets of clamping plates 13 to move relative to each other. When the clamping plates 13 move, they drive the limiting plate 14 to move. The limiting plate 14 fixes the sturgeon. The protective pad 15 prevents the sturgeon from being injured. The flow pipe 16 can add water to the inside of the storage box 304. The sealing cover 17 prevents water inside the storage box 304 from flowing into the external environment through the flow pipe 16. The servo motor 18 is used to drive the bidirectional lead screw 12 to move.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, the nozzle 11 sprays water onto the sturgeon. At this time, the water flows into the interior of the water channel plate 2 through the water outlet 301 and into the interior of the filter box 302. The filter screen 303 inside the filter box 302 filters the water. After filtration, the water enters the interior of the storage box 304. The water pump 305 transports the water in the storage box 304 to the interior of the placement rack 10 through the water inlet pipe 306. The nozzle 11 sprays water onto the sturgeon again, thus forming a complete water circulation system, realizing the reuse of water resources, saving water costs, and providing a stable and clean water environment for sturgeon identification.
[0034] After securing the sturgeon, activate hydraulic rod 5. Hydraulic rod 5 moves light shield 601, which covers the sturgeon's head. Protective pad 602 protects the sturgeon from injury. Light shield 601 provides a relatively dark environment for the sturgeon, helping to reduce stress caused by light stimulation. This allows the sturgeon to undergo subsequent treatment or observation in a relatively quiet and comfortable environment, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the operation and ensuring the health and stability of the sturgeon throughout the process. The above describes the working process of the entire device. Any content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
