Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coral aquaculture technology, specifically to a light control system for recirculating aquaculture of ornamental corals. Background Technology

[0002] Ornamental corals are lower invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria and class Anthozoa. Every year, a large number of ornamental corals flow to all parts of the world through various channels, making them one of the most valuable and promising recreational fishery industries and the future direction of ornamental aquarium fisheries.

[0003] Currently, marine aquariums account for a small proportion of the global aquarium market. While domestic ornamental coral cultivation offers potentially high profits, its sustainable and healthy development faces significant bottlenecks. The current market supply of ornamental corals relies primarily on artificial harvesting, resulting in unstable coral species and quantities, substantial losses during transportation, and poor quality reliability. Furthermore, excessive harvesting has severely damaged marine habitats, leading to a sharp decline in ornamental coral resources. With rapidly increasing market demand, the commercialization of fully artificial propagation and cultivation of ornamental corals is urgently needed. As the domestic ornamental coral aquarium market rapidly develops, research and application of light control systems for coral cultivation are of significant value for the future development and market promotion of large-scale ornamental coral cultivation technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and defects of existing technologies by providing a lighting control system for recirculating aquaculture of ornamental corals. This lighting control system features automated lighting effects and can adjust the lighting intensity according to the current conditions, providing a better aquaculture environment for the corals. The overall aquaculture system can solve problems such as poor color of ornamental corals, unstable water quality in the recirculating aquaculture system, and system malfunctions. Combined with the lighting control system, it can provide basic data for the development and application of large-scale ornamental coral aquaculture technology, provide technical support for the commercial promotion and marketization of ornamental corals, and thus promote the healthy and steady development of the ornamental coral aquaculture industry.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a light control system for recirculating aquaculture of ornamental corals, comprising an ornamental coral culture tank, a light control system, a coarse filter, an oxidation and disinfection reactor, an active biochemical system, a salt-tolerant plant purification device, a bacterial house treatment system, and a water temperature control system. The light control system is installed on the ornamental coral culture tank. The outlet of the ornamental coral culture tank is equipped with a coarse filter, which is connected to the oxidation and disinfection reactor. The outlet of the oxidation and disinfection reactor is connected to its active biochemical system. The active biochemical system is connected to the bacterial house treatment system through the salt-tolerant plant purification device. The outlet of the bacterial house treatment system is connected to the inlet of the ornamental coral culture tank.

[0006] Furthermore, the salt-tolerant plant purification device can cultivate one or more of the following: Ulva, Giant Feather Algae, Gracilaria, and Flame Algae.

[0008] Furthermore, the illumination control system includes a microcontroller, a storage module, a learning and memory module, an image acquisition component, a first illumination mechanism, a second illumination mechanism, and a timing module. The microcontroller is connected to its storage module and the learning and memory module, and the learning and memory module is connected to the storage module. The image acquisition component is connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller and the timing module are interconnected, and both the first illumination mechanism and the second illumination mechanism are connected to their respective microcontrollers.

[0009] Furthermore, the ratio of the number of the first lighting mechanism to the number of the second lighting mechanism is 2:1 to 3:1.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific operation steps of the illumination control system are as follows: Start; The user manually adjusts the time of the timing module; When the time is reached, the timing module sends a signal to the microcontroller; The microcontroller turns the first illumination mechanism on or off; When the first illumination mechanism is on, the image acquisition component acquires images at regular intervals; The microcontroller analyzes and judges the image: If the image has no obvious differences between light and dark areas, the first illumination mechanism is turned on normally; If the image has obvious differences between light and dark areas, the illumination power of the first illumination mechanism corresponding to the dark area is adjusted; When the first illumination mechanism cannot be turned on or is not manually controlled, the microcontroller turns on the second illumination mechanism; The storage module stores the image and time for the learning and memory module and the user to use; End.

[0011] Furthermore, the interval time of the image acquisition component is 0.5h to 1h.

[0012] Furthermore, the first illumination mechanism and the second illumination mechanism are selected from one or more of metal halide lamps, LED lamps, T5 lamps, and PL lamps.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This light control system has an automated lighting effect and can change the lighting intensity according to the current state, which can provide a better breeding environment for the corals. The overall breeding system can solve problems such as poor color of ornamental corals, unstable water quality of the circulating water system, and system malfunction. In conjunction with the light control system, it can provide basic data for the development and application of large-scale ornamental coral breeding technology, provide technical support for the commercial promotion and marketization of ornamental corals, and thus promote the healthy and steady development of the ornamental coral breeding industry.
