Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture, and more particularly to a device for collecting pollutants from aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, suspended solids, uneaten food, and fish excrement in aquaculture ponds reduce water transparency and oxygen levels. These debris also decompose and sink, leading to increased levels of nitrite and sulfides in the water. This causes oxygen depletion in the lower layers of water and the production of toxic substances and pathogenic bacteria, ultimately resulting in the death of aquatic products. Therefore, a device is needed to promptly collect and clean these suspended solids, uneaten food, and fish excrement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automatic, cyclical, and comprehensive aquaculture pollutant collection device.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A pollutant collection device for aquaculture includes a hull assembly and a propulsion device. The hull assembly includes a hull, rollers, and a conveyor belt. The propulsion device includes a propulsion base, a swing frame, a front side plate hole, a first rotating sleeve, a second rotating sleeve, and a second gear. The hull has an inclined groove in the middle of the front side, with roller holes on the upper and lower sides of the inclined groove. A fixed plate is located in the middle of the rear side of the hull. A roller is installed in each of the two roller holes, and each roller is rotatably connected to the roller hole. The rollers rotate in the roller holes. A conveyor belt is installed on the outer side of the two rollers, and the conveyor belt rotates around the two rollers. A first pulley is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper roller. The propulsion device is fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixed plate.

A rear plate is located behind the rear bearing seat, with a rear plate hole on the rear side of the rear plate. A vertical plate is located below the rear plate, with a vertical plate hole at the lower part of the vertical plate. A front side plate is located in front of the front bearing seat. A bushing is located on the right side of the front side plate, with a front side plate hole on the right side of the bushing. The swing frame shaft is rotatably connected to the column hole, and the swing frame rotates within the column hole.

[0006] The lower part of the No. 1 motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the motor plate. The output shaft of the No. 1 motor is fixedly connected to the No. 3 gear. The intermediate shaft of the worm gear passes through two bearing seats and the No. 4 gear from the front to the back. The intermediate shaft of the worm gear is rotatably connected to the bearing seats. The worm gear rotates in the bearing seats. The No. 4 gear is fixedly connected to the intermediate shaft of the worm gear. The No. 4 gear and the No. 3 gear mesh with each other.

[0008] Beneficial effects: This invention can automatically, cyclically, and without dead angles collect debris from aquaculture ponds. When collecting debris in the pond, the swing frame, second gear, first gear, connecting rod, turbine, and worm gear work together to make the blades rotate and swing simultaneously, allowing the invention to travel along a zigzag path. This increases the collection area of ​​the conveyor belt and improves collection efficiency. At the same time, it ensures that the invention can travel throughout the entire aquaculture pond without leaving any dead angles. When the invention travels, the rotating ring also rotates, allowing it to avoid obstacles and prevent it from hitting obstacles or running aground on the bank. This allows the invention to continuously and automatically travel through the aquaculture pond, cyclically collecting debris. Attached Figure Description
