[0022] It should be noted that the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should be understood as the general meaning understood by the skilled person in the field of the present application, unless otherwise specified.
[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a three-dimensional benthic animal breeding equipment which can reduce the area and space occupied by benthic animal aquaculture. Specifically, the equipment comprises a breeding box 100 and a circulation assembly. The breeding box 100 is provided with a breeding cavity 110. The breeding cavity 110 is provided with a plurality of layered and stacked grid trays 200. The surface of the grid tray 200 is provided with isolation grids 210. The unit surrounded by the isolation grids 210 is provided with a plurality of through holes 220 which penetrate the grid tray vertically. The breeding box 100 is provided with a reflux cavity 120 below the breeding cavity 110. The breeding cavity 110 is provided with an overflow pipeline 300 which leads to the reflux cavity 120. The circulation assembly comprises a water treatment circulation assembly 400 and a feed delivery circulation assembly 500. The output ends of the water treatment circulation assembly 400 and the feed delivery circulation assembly 500 are connected to the bottom of the breeding cavity 110. The input ends of the water treatment circulation assembly 400 and the feed delivery circulation assembly 500 are connected to the reflux cavity 120. The circulation assembly is signal connected with a control panel.
[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 Through the above arrangement, the breeding cavity 110 of the breeding box 100 in the embodiment adopts a three-dimensional multi-layer separation breeding mode to reduce the area occupied by benthic animal breeding. The breeding cavity 110 is divided into a plurality of vertically separated areas by the multi-layer grid trays 200 installed in the breeding cavity 110. The isolation grids 210 on the surface of the grid tray 200 create a breeding space for crab and shrimp benthic animals. The vertically stacked grid trays 200 are conducive to reducing the occupied area and can be isolated for breeding to increase the breeding density and avoid the mutual encroachment of the breeding products.
[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, in order to provide suitable water body and sufficient feed for the breeding products in the breeding process, the embodiment adopts a circulation assembly to realize the double circulation operation of water body replacement and feed supply, wherein the output end of the water treatment circulation assembly 400 is in communication with the bottom of the breeding cavity 110, and when the water treatment circulation assembly 400 is operated, the water body of each layer of breeding space can be replaced to ensure the quality of the breeding water body; when the water flow rises, it can be returned to the return cavity 120 through the overflow pipeline 300 for reuse treatment; in the breeding process, the feed conveying circulation assembly 500 is used to pump the feed into each layered and gridded tray 200 to ensure continuous feed conveying; the water treatment circulation assembly 400 and the feed conveying circulation assembly 500 can be controlled through the control panel to realize automatic water changing and feed adding, switching and control operation, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of artificial breeding; the control panel can be controlled by an integrated control panel, which will not be described here; the water treatment circulation assembly 400 selects RAS (recirculating aquaculture system) equipment, which can filter, biochemical treat, sterilize, oxygenate and temperature adjust the water body to ensure the quality of the water body; in addition, the feed conveying circulation assembly 500 preferably mixes granular feed into water and pumps it into each layer of breeding space in the breeding cavity 110 by using a water pump and the like.
[0026] As described above, the water body replacement and feed conveying operation in the breeding cavity 110 need to be automatically operated by using a circulation assembly, and the embodiment is provided with a water supply and feed supply cavity 150 in the breeding box body 100, the water supply and feed supply cavity 150 is in communication with the bottom of the breeding cavity 110, and the output ends of the water treatment circulation assembly 400 and the feed conveying circulation assembly 500 are connected with the water supply and feed supply cavity 150. In this way, the water supply and feed supply cavity 150 can on the one hand deliver the water body treated by circulation from the bottom of the breeding cavity 110 to the breeding area of each layer of gridded tray 200; on the other hand, the feed delivered by the feed conveying circulation assembly 500 can also be delivered to the breeding area of each layer of gridded tray 200 through the water supply and feed supply cavity 150, and in use, according to the needs, manual or automatic switching to water body replacement or feed supply operation; in order to facilitate the connection of the equipment, the water body input end 130 and the feed input end 140 are provided outside the water supply and feed supply cavity 150; the water body input end 130 and the feed input end 140 are respectively connected with the output ends of the water treatment circulation assembly 400 and the feed conveying circulation assembly 500.
[0027] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, during the water body replacement process, the circulating assembly inputs water body into the culture cavity 110, so that the water in the culture cavity 110 flows upward, and the water body can overflow into the backflow cavity 120 through the overflow pipeline 300. In order to facilitate recycling, the water body output end 121 and the feed output end 122 are arranged at the lower end of the backflow cavity 120, and the water body output end 121 and the feed output end 122 are connected with the input ends of the water treatment circulating assembly 400 and the feed conveying circulating assembly 500 respectively. In this way, the water body can flow back to the water treatment circulating assembly through the water body output end 121, so as to realize filtering, purification and other treatments. The water mixed with the feed can be output from the feed output end 122, so as to facilitate recycling of the feed.
[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 As shown, since the overflow pipeline 300 extending into the backflow cavity 120 needs to be installed in the culture cavity 110, the overflow hole 230 for the overflow pipeline 300 to pass through is arranged on the grid tray 200. By arranging the overflow hole 230, the grid tray 200 can be installed in the culture cavity 110 through the overflow pipeline 300.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 As shown in actual application, the grid tray 200 is fixed by being stacked up and down in the culture box body 100, and the number of layers can be reasonably set according to the need and the degree of feed delivery. The grid tray 200 serves as the habitat of benthic animals, and can be used for separate culture of shrimp, crab and other cultured products. The isolation stand 210 in the embodiment is arranged in a honeycomb shape on the surface of the grid tray 200. The honeycomb-shaped isolation stand 210 is used in this embodiment because it has the highest utilization rate of limited area and can increase the culture density to a certain extent. In some embodiments, the isolation stand 210 can also be selected in other structural shapes, such as circular, square, triangular, polygonal and rhombic shapes.
[0030] As shown in Figure 1 As shown, the fixed sleeve 600 is arranged around the upper end of the overflow pipeline 300, and the fixed sleeve 600 abuts against the uppermost grid tray 200. In this way, the fixed sleeve 600 can fix the uppermost grid tray 200, thereby improving the stability of each layer structure. In addition, the culture box body 100 is arranged in a cylindrical shape, and the inner wall of the cylindrical culture box body 100 is smoother, which is beneficial to water circulation and feed flow and reduces the formation of dead angles. In some embodiments, the culture box body 100 can also be in a square, polygonal or elliptical shape. The detachable culture top cover is arranged at the upper end of the culture box body 100. The culture top cover is placed at the upper end of the culture box body 100 to ensure the culture environment.
[0031] As shown in Figure 1As shown, in the present embodiment, the water flow direction in the culture box 100 adopts a design from bottom to top, which is to overcome the gravity of the feed by the water flow from bottom to top, so as to promote the feed to be more evenly distributed in each culture grid of each layer; in some embodiments, the water flow in the culture box 100 can also adopt a flow mode from top to bottom or a horizontal direction.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the description of the present application.
