Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of turtle farming technology, and in particular to an apparatus for raising juvenile turtles. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, China's soft-shelled turtle farming industry has developed rapidly, with annual output ranking among the world's top, making it one of the important production bases supporting the global soft-shelled turtle market. However, the industry also faces some problems, such as deteriorating farming environments, water pollution, and disease outbreaks, which threaten the long-term healthy development of the industry. Meanwhile, in recent years, the country has gradually strengthened its supervision of aquatic product quality, and ecological farming has gradually developed. Currently, the most advanced ecological farming method is the fish-turtle polyculture model to achieve sustainable economic and ecological development. However, juvenile soft-shelled turtles require a separate, specific ecological environment to meet their growth and development needs. For example, juvenile soft-shelled turtles are raised in greenhouses and then transferred to ecological ponds after one year. Juvenile soft-shelled turtles have high requirements for temperature, oxygen, and water quality. Farmers often directly change the water in the greenhouse ponds, leading to long-term accumulation of waste and causing significant water pollution.

[0003] Currently, ecological farming cannot support large-scale breeding of juvenile soft-shelled turtles, resulting in low economic benefits. Furthermore, the lack of monitoring of the growth status and water conditions of juvenile soft-shelled turtles leads to a high mortality rate and excessive breeding costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an apparatus for raising juvenile soft-shelled turtles, which solves the problems of high cost, low economic benefits, environmental pollution and high mortality rate in raising juvenile soft-shelled turtles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a device for raising juvenile soft-shelled turtles, including a base, on which multiple layers of breeding boxes are stacked, the top surface of the breeding boxes is open, one end of the breeding box is provided with a door, the end opposite the door is provided with a feeding port, and the uppermost breeding box is provided with a light-transmitting top plate.

[0006] The bottom plate of the breeding box has multiple drainage holes. A ring-shaped enclosure is provided at each drainage hole on the bottom plate of the breeding box. Distributed support baffles are provided on the ring-shaped enclosure, and gaps are provided between adjacent support baffles.

[0007] Preferably, the base is provided with a drawer-type waste removal box, and the waste removal box is provided with a slanted panel, and the lower end of the slanted panel is provided with a waste removal opening.

[0008] Preferably, the door is provided with enclosures on both sides and the side opposite the door, an outer water-proof plate is provided above the enclosures, and multiple vertical light-transmitting plates are provided at intervals between the enclosures on both sides and the outer water-proof plate; a feeding port is provided between the enclosure opposite the door and the outer water-proof plate.

[0009] Preferably, a feed guide trough is provided on the inner side of the enclosure below the feeding port, and a feeding baffle that cooperates with the feed guide trough is provided at the bottom of the remaining breeding boxes except the bottommost breeding box. A feeding baffle that cooperates with the feed guide trough is also provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting top plate.

[0010] Preferably, an inner water-proof plate is provided at the bottom of all the breeding boxes except the bottommost breeding box, and an inner water-proof plate is also provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting top plate. The height of the inner water-proof plate is the same as the height of the outer water-proof plate.

[0011] Preferably, a water quality monitoring device is provided on the inner side of one of the feeding baffles.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom plate of the lowest breeding box is equipped with a vertically upward thermostat and an oxygen pump, and the bottom plate of the upper breeding box is equipped with a through hole for the thermostat and oxygen pump to pass through.

[0013] Preferably, the inner side of the enclosure is provided with heat-insulating sponge.

[0015] Preferably, the device is placed in a water tank, and the waste outlet is connected to a purified water tank through a drain pipe. The purified water tank is equipped with a circulation pump, which is connected to a circulation pipe, which is connected to the water tank.

[0016] This invention provides a device for raising juvenile soft-shelled turtles, which has the following beneficial effects: through three-dimensional centralized breeding, the breeding density per unit area is greatly increased. Juvenile soft-shelled turtles have high temperature requirements, and the thermostat combined with heat-insulating sponge can effectively maintain the water temperature in the device, reduce power consumption, and significantly reduce the mortality rate of juvenile soft-shelled turtles. Currently, the disposal of excrement from juvenile soft-shelled turtles in ecological breeding is quite difficult. This device can effectively handle the excrement and food residue of juvenile soft-shelled turtles, forming an ecological closed loop and reducing environmental pollution.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an apparatus for raising juvenile soft-shelled turtles includes a base 1, on which multiple layers of breeding boxes 2 are stacked. The top surface of the breeding boxes 2 is open, one end of the breeding box 2 is provided with a door 3, and the end opposite to the door 3 is provided with a feeding port 4. A light-transmitting top plate 8 is provided on the uppermost breeding box 2; providing the necessary growth environment for juvenile soft-shelled turtles and improving the growth quality of juvenile soft-shelled turtles.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple drainage holes 5 are provided on the bottom plate of the breeding box 2. A ring-shaped enclosure 6 is provided at each drainage hole 5 on the bottom plate of the breeding box 2. Distributed support baffles 7 are provided on the ring-shaped enclosure 6, with gaps between adjacent support baffles 7. When the water level drops, the distributed support baffles 7 can effectively relieve pressure, increasing the impact force of the water flowing into the drainage holes, thereby carrying away the excrement and food residue of the juvenile turtles.

[0028] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, the base 1 has a drawer-type waste disposal box 9 inside, and a sloping panel 10 inside the waste disposal box 9. A waste disposal opening 11 is located at the lower end of the sloping panel 10. When the water level drops, waste and food residue can slide down with the water flow and enter the purification tank through the waste disposal opening.

[0029] Preferably, the door 3 has enclosures 12 on both sides and opposite sides, with an outer water-blocking plate 13 above the enclosures 12. Multiple vertical light-transmitting plates 14 are spaced between the enclosures 12 and the outer water-blocking plates 13 on both sides. A feeding opening 4 is located between the enclosure 12 and the outer water-blocking plate 13 on the side opposite to the door 3. When the water level drops, it is easier to observe the survival status of the young turtles through the door and the vertical light-transmitting plates. The young turtles can be caught, placed, and treated through the door. Sunlight can penetrate the vertical light-transmitting plates, improving the growth quality of the young turtles and reducing disease incidence. When the water level drops, the water in the rearing box 2 can quickly drain out through the gaps in the vertical light-transmitting plates 14, allowing the turtles to quickly obtain air.

[0030] Preferably, a feed guide trough 15 is provided below the feeding port 4 and on the inner side of the enclosure 12. Feeding baffles 16, which cooperate with the feed guide trough 15, are provided at the bottom of all the rearing boxes 2 except the lowest one. Feeding baffles 16, which cooperate with the feed guide trough 15, are also provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting top plate 8. This effectively allows food to reach the rearing boxes, and the feeding baffles 16 ensure confinement within the device, preventing juvenile turtles from swimming out.

[0031] Preferably, an inner water-blocking plate 17 is provided at the bottom of all the remaining breeding boxes 2 except the bottommost breeding box 2, and an inner water-blocking plate 17 is also provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting top plate 8. The height of the inner water-blocking plate 17 is the same as the height of the outer water-blocking plate 13. When the water level rises, the inner water-blocking plate 17 and the outer water-blocking plate 13 together form a sealed structure, creating an air layer, which is beneficial for the juvenile turtles in each layer to float to the surface and breathe. Figure 7 As shown, the outer baffle plate 13, the inner baffle plate 17, and the feeding baffle plate 16 together form a rectangular annular space. When water is added to the pool and the water level rises, as... Figure 8 As shown, due to the pressure, an air layer A is formed between the outer water-blocking plate 13, the inner water-blocking plate 17, and the feeding baffle 16. The formation of air layer A helps young turtles to expose their heads above the water surface and breathe oxygen.

[0032] Preferably, a water quality monitoring device 18 is installed on the inner side of one of the feeding baffles 16. The water quality monitoring device can effectively monitor the pH value and ammonia nitrogen content in the water inside the device, and issue an alarm to remind farmers when the content exceeds the specified range.

[0033] Preferably, the bottommost rearing box 2 has a vertically upward-facing thermostat 19 and an oxygen pump 20 on its bottom plate, while the bottom plate of the upper rearing box 2 has through holes for the thermostat 19 and oxygen pump 20 to pass through. This effectively ensures a constant temperature in each layer of the device, preventing juvenile turtles from being affected by hibernation, reducing the growth cycle, improving growth quality, and increasing the oxygen content in the air and water layers of each rearing box.

[0034] Preferably, the inner side of the enclosure 12 is provided with heat-insulating sponge 21. This reduces the temperature fluctuations caused by external water body disturbances inside the device, thereby reducing the power consumption of the thermostat 19.

[0035] Preferably, a filter device 22 is provided at the discharge outlet 11. The filter device is detachable. For farmers who do not have the conditions for an ecological pond, installing a filter device can collect waste and food scraps, reducing pollution to the water source.

[0036] Preferably, the device is placed in the water tank 23, and the waste outlet 11 is connected to the purified water tank 24 through a drain pipe. The purified water tank 24 is equipped with a circulation pump 25, which is connected to a circulation pipe 26, which is connected to the water tank 23. The wastewater generated by the device flows into the purified water tank 24 and is purified into clean water. The clean water is then pumped back to the water tank 23 through the circulation pump 25 into the circulation pipe 26, thus realizing a closed loop of ecological water source.

[0037] When using, such as Figure 6 As shown, initially, the water in the pool overflows the device itself. When we need to change the water source, we open the water gate switch on the bottom pipe. At this time, the sewage in the pool will flow into the pipe. The raised device can reserve some of the original water in the pool, avoiding replacing too much water at once, which could cause young turtles to be unaccustomed to the new environment. The sewage enters the purification tank. When we turn on the circulation pump, the purified water in the pool will flow back to the pool through the circulation pipe. As the water level rises, it enters a new cycle. This method can avoid the situation of directly discharging polluted water into the river.

[0038] The waste removal device of this apparatus is multi-layered, and when the water level drops, it can collect the waste from each layer into the waste removal box for cleaning. Furthermore, when the water level rises, an air layer A is formed between the area enclosed by the outer water-blocking plate 13, the inner water-blocking plate 17, and the feeding baffle 16. The formation of air layer A helps juvenile turtles to expose their heads to the surface of the water and breathe oxygen.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be considered as limitations on the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be limited to the technical solutions described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
