Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seahorse farming, and more specifically, to a dredging device for seahorse farming. Background Technology
[0002] Seahorse farming refers to the industry of breeding, cultivating and managing seahorses by artificially controlling environmental conditions. Its core is to simulate the marine ecological environment in which seahorses naturally inhabit, regulate parameters such as water temperature, salinity and light, and provide suitable feed such as brine shrimp to achieve large-scale artificial breeding of seahorses. Seahorses are mainly used for medicinal, ornamental aquarium and scientific research fields. Compared with wild fishing, artificial breeding can alleviate the pressure on wild populations and ensure the stability of market supply.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN216552139U) disclosing a sludge removal device for seahorse farming, comprising a float and a square box. A waterproof motor is fixedly mounted on the top front side of the square box. A drive wheel is movably mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the square box, and the drive wheel is connected to the waterproof motor via an output shaft. A shaft is movably mounted on the bottom of the square box, and a driven wheel is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the middle part of the shaft. This invention uses a waterproof motor to drive the drive wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the shaft to rotate via the driven wheel. The shaft then drives two shovel pins to rotate, stirring up the sludge adhering to the bottom of the farming pond. A sludge pump sucks up the sludge through a sludge conduit and discharges it through a connecting pipe to a sludge discharge pipe. After the sludge in the current area is cleared, a traction device pulls the float to the next sludge removal area to continue working. This sludge removal device has a simple design, fast sludge removal speed, effectively reduces manual labor burden and costs, and is highly practical. The inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology during the development of this invention:
[0004] The existing seahorse farming dredging equipment requires a traction device to move the float to the dredging area before it can work. Therefore, it is not very flexible when dredging the bottom of the farming pond. Furthermore, when the shovel pin stirs up the silt attached to the bottom of the farming pond, it is difficult to adjust the height, which in turn makes it less flexible when cleaning farming ponds of different depths, thus reducing the dredging speed in seahorse farming.
[0005] Therefore, a dredging device for seahorse farming is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a seahorse breeding dredging device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dredging device for seahorse farming, comprising a support base, a support top plate fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base, an extraction component fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support top plate, a fixed end provided on one side of the support base, an electro-hydraulic actuator fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixed end, a lifting plate fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic actuator, a variable frequency motor provided above the lifting plate, a drive shaft fixedly installed on the output end of the variable frequency motor, a dredging scraper fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drive shaft, and two telescopic hoses provided outside the lifting plate, with dredging heads fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two telescopic hoses.
[0008] Preferably, the extraction assembly includes a sludge pump fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate. The input end of the sludge pump is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, one end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a U-shaped pipe, and both ends of the U-shaped pipe are fixedly connected to the top ends of two telescopic hoses, respectively. The output end of the sludge pump is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, and one end of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to a connecting flange.
[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the supporting top plate has two sliding holes, and the inner walls of the two sliding holes are slidably connected to sliding rods, and the bottom ends of the two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting plate.
[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to two fixing plates, and the sides of the two fixing plates that are close to each other are fixedly installed to the outer surface of the variable frequency motor. The outer surface of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to two reinforcing blocks, and the sides of the two reinforcing blocks that are far from each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sludge removal head.
[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support base, and the upper surface of the reinforcing plate is fixedly installed with the bottom surface of the support top plate.
[0012] Preferably, a bearing is fixedly embedded on the upper surface of the lifting plate, and the outer surface of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing.
[0013] Preferably, a movable base plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support base, two sets of omnidirectional wheels are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable base plate, and two movable push handles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support base.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this seahorse aquaculture dredging device can install components such as extraction components and electro-hydraulic actuators through a support base and support top plate. In addition, the device can be flexibly moved to a suitable dredging position by a movable base plate, casters, and a moving pusher, without relying on additional traction equipment. This allows dredging operations to be unrestricted by space and area, and enables quick switching of dredging positions, improving the flexibility of dredging. The telescopic movement of the electro-hydraulic actuator can drive the lifting plate to move up and down, realizing flexible adjustment of the depth of the dredging scraper and dredging head, which can be adapted to seahorse aquaculture ponds of various depths, improving the flexibility of dredging use.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this seahorse aquaculture sludge removal device, after starting the variable frequency motor, can drive the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the sludge removal scraper to rotate. This thoroughly scrapes up the firmly attached sludge from the bottom of the aquaculture pond. In addition, while the sludge removal scraper is scraping up the sludge, the sludge pump, through the passage formed by the connecting pipe and the U-shaped pipe, can generate a strong suction force through the two telescopic hoses, which will cause the two sludge removal heads to suck up the scraped sludge in time. Then, it is discharged to the designated location through the discharge pipe and the connecting flange. This achieves seamless coordination between sludge scraping and suction, speeds up the sludge removal process, and ensures the cleanliness of the bottom of the aquaculture pond, providing a more suitable growth environment for seahorses.

[0023] As attached Figures 1-4 The illustrated seahorse aquaculture dredging device includes a support base 1, a support top plate 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support base 1, an extraction component 3 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support top plate 2, a fixed end 4 on one side of the support base 1, an electro-hydraulic actuator 5 fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the fixed end 4, a lifting plate 6 fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic actuator 5, a variable frequency motor 9 above the lifting plate 6, a drive shaft 8 fixedly mounted on the output end of the variable frequency motor 9, a dredging scraper 7 fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the drive shaft 8, two telescopic hoses 10 on the outside of the lifting plate 6, and a dredging head 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of each of the two telescopic hoses 10.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the extraction component 3 and the electro-hydraulic push rod 5 can be installed through the support base 1 and the support top plate 2; in addition, the device can be flexibly moved to a suitable dredging position through the movable base plate 19, the universal wheels 20, and the movable pusher 17, without relying on additional traction equipment, so that the dredging operation is not limited by space and area, and the dredging position can be quickly switched, improving the flexibility of dredging; through the extension and retraction movement of the electro-hydraulic push rod 5, the lifting plate 6 can be moved up and down, realizing flexible adjustment of the depth of the dredging scraper 7 and the dredging head 11, which can perfectly adapt to seahorse breeding ponds of various depths, improving the flexibility of dredging use. Example
[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 will be further described in detail below, with reference to the specific working method described in detail:
[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the extraction assembly 3 includes a sludge pump 301 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support top plate 2. The input end of the sludge pump 301 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 302. One end of the connecting pipe 302 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped pipe 303. Both ends of the U-shaped pipe 303 are fixedly connected to the top ends of two telescopic hoses 10, respectively. The output end of the sludge pump 301 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 304. One end of the discharge pipe 304 is fixedly connected to a connecting flange 305. A movable base plate 19 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the support base 1. Two sets of casters 20 are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the movable base plate 19. Two casters 20 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support base 1. Furthermore, the sludge pump 301 can serve as a power source, connected to the U-shaped pipe 303 via the connecting pipe 302. The two ends of the U-shaped pipe 303 are connected to the tops of the two telescopic hoses 10, allowing the sludge pump 301 to smoothly suck up the scraped sludge through the telescopic hoses 10 and the sludge cleaning head 11. The discharge pipe 304 and the connecting flange 305 facilitate connection to external conveying pipelines, enabling efficient discharge of the sucked sludge to a designated location. With the cooperation of the movable base plate 19, two sets of universal wheels 20, and two movable pushers 17, the staff can easily push the device to move outside the aquaculture pond, improving the device's mobility.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the supporting top plate 2 has two sliding holes 13, and the inner walls of the two sliding holes 13 are slidably connected to sliding rods 14. The bottom ends of the two sliding rods 14 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting plate 6. The upper surface of the lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to two fixing plates 18. The sides of the two fixing plates 18 that are close to each other are fixedly installed to the outer surface of the frequency converter motor 9. The outer surface of the lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to two reinforcing blocks 12. The sides of the two reinforcing blocks 12 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sludge removal head 11. A reinforcing support plate 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 1. The upper surface of the reinforcing support plate 16 is fixedly installed to the bottom surface of the supporting top plate 2. A bearing 15 is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the lifting plate 6. The outer surface of the drive shaft 8 is connected to the bearing 15. The inner ring is fixedly connected. Furthermore, through the sliding connection of two sliding holes 13 and two sliding rods 14, the lifting plate 6 is prevented from shifting or shaking during the lifting process of the electro-hydraulic push rod 5. The installation of the sludge removal head 11 is reinforced by two reinforcing blocks 12 to prevent the sludge removal head 11 from loosening due to suction or water flow impact during operation, thus ensuring the stable operation of the sludge removal work. The variable frequency motor 9 can be firmly fixed by two fixing plates 18 to ensure that the variable frequency motor 9 will not shift during operation. The load-bearing capacity of the supporting top plate 2 is enhanced by the reinforcing support plate 16, which will enable the supporting top plate 2 to stably support the extraction component 3 and other components. The connection between the bearing 15 and the drive shaft 8 reduces the friction when the drive shaft 8 rotates, allowing the drive shaft 8 to drive the rotation of the sludge removal scraper 7 more smoothly.
[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0029] When the seahorse aquaculture sludge removal device is used in the later stage, the lifting plate 6 is moved up and down by the extension and retraction of the electro-hydraulic push rod 5, which can adjust the depth of the sludge removal scraper 7 and the sludge removal head 11 to adapt to the sludge removal needs of aquaculture ponds of different depths. In addition, during the movement of the lifting plate 6, the sliding rod 14 slides in the sliding hole 13 to ensure the stability of the movement of the lifting plate 6. Then the frequency conversion motor 9 is started, which can drive the drive shaft 8 to rotate, thereby causing the sludge removal scraper 7 to rotate, which can scrape up the sludge at the bottom of the aquaculture pond.
[0030] While the sludge scraper 7 scrapes up the sludge, the extraction component 3 starts working. The sludge pump 301 is started, and the two telescopic hoses 10 generate suction through the passage formed by the connecting pipe 302 and the U-shaped pipe 303. Then, the sludge head 11 sucks in the scraped sludge. The sucked sludge enters the sludge pump 301 through the telescopic hose 10, the U-shaped pipe 303, and the connecting pipe 302. Then, it is discharged from the output end of the sludge pump 301 through the discharge pipe 304 and the connecting flange 305 to the designated location. The casters 20 at the bottom of the movable base plate 19 and the movable pusher 17 on the support base 1 allow the device to move flexibly to different sludge dredging areas, improving the flexibility and efficiency of sludge dredging. This is the working process and working principle of the device.
[0031] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
