Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable sealing structure technology, specifically to a device for transferring large-sized fish fry. Background Technology
[0002] Atlantic salmon are large-sized, have spectacular jumping ability, and are very active. However, when stimulated, they become abnormally active and jump around wildly, often causing them to die from the shock. The process of transferring them between workshops is quite difficult. Before the transfer, the Atlantic salmon must be anesthetized to a certain extent. Then, the fish are put into transfer boxes and transferred. Finally, the transfer boxes are moved to the fish tanks in another workshop.
[0003] Using large doses or too many times of anesthesia can affect the survival rate of fish. Therefore, convenient handling equipment is needed to assist in the transfer of the fry to reduce the amount of anesthesia used. It is also necessary to reduce the shaking of the fry during the transfer process and reduce the stimulation to the fry in order to reduce the mortality rate of the fry. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This invention provides a device for transferring large-sized fish fry. When using this device, a small amount of anesthetic is first added to the fry pond to anesthetize the Atlantic salmon fry. Then, these fry are placed into a holding box, and the base of the transfer vehicle is moved to transfer the fry. When the fry reach another workshop, the hydraulic cylinder is activated to raise the fork arm, thereby raising the holding box so that the fish outlet faces the fish pond. Then, the movable plate is opened to expose the fish outlet, allowing the cloth opening to extend into the fish pond. At this time, the fry enter the fish pond through the cloth opening, which can replace manual handling to transfer the fry into the new fish pond and reduce the possibility of the fry being injured by shock.
[0029] Figures 1-5 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of one embodiment of a device for transferring large-sized fish fry according to the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-5 The device for transferring large-sized fish fry according to this embodiment includes a transfer component 100 and a holding component 200.
[0030] The transfer assembly 100 is used to replace manual handling of fish fry, thereby reducing the shaking of fish fry caused by manual handling. It includes a transfer vehicle base 110, rollers 120 symmetrically installed on the side wall of the transfer vehicle base 110, hydraulic cylinders 130 symmetrically fixed on the top surface of the transfer vehicle base 110, an L-shaped plate 140 fixed on the top of the hydraulic cylinder 130, and fork arms 150 symmetrically fixed on the L-shaped plate 140.
[0031] The holding assembly 200 is used to hold fish fry and includes a holding box 210 placed on the base 110 of the transport vehicle, a fish outlet 210a opened on the side wall of the holding box 210, a waterproof cloth 220 placed in the holding box 210, a cloth opening 220a placed at the fish outlet 210a, a movable plate 230 hinged to the outer wall of the holding box 210, and a fork arm support frame 240 symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the holding box 210.
[0032] Furthermore, a vertical plate 160 is fixed to the top surface of the transfer vehicle base 110. A limiting groove 160a is provided on the vertical plate 160. A limiting plate 140a passing through the limiting groove 160a is fixed on the L-shaped plate 140. A limiting horizontal plate 170 is fixed to the limiting plate 140a, so that when the fork arm 150 is raised and lowered, the limiting horizontal plate 170 is locked on the back of the vertical plate 160, so as to prevent the fork arm 150 from tilting due to the excessive weight of the container 210.
[0033] Furthermore, a mounting plate 180 is fixed on the transfer vehicle base 110, and a storage battery 190 is installed on the mounting plate 180. The transfer vehicle base 110 can be moved by electric power, and the electric drive system is electrically connected to the storage battery 190, so that the transfer vehicle base 110 can be moved by electric power, making the movement faster and more stable.
[0034] Furthermore, a first limiting plate 250 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the container 210, and a second limiting plate 250a is rotatably mounted on the movable plate 230. The other end of the first limiting plate 250 is rotatably mounted on the second limiting plate 250a, so that the movable plate 230 can be restricted during rotation. A locking hook 260 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the container 210. A locking rod 270 adapted to the locking hook 260 is fixed on the movable plate 230. A baffle 270a is fixed on the locking rod 270. A protrusion 260a is fixed on the container 210. A first spring 260b is fixed on the protrusion 260a. The other end of the first spring 260b is fixed on the locking hook 260. So that after the movable plate 230 is closed, rotating the locking hook 260 and hooking it on the locking rod 270 can fix the movable plate 230. The first spring 260b can fix the movable plate 230 more firmly.
[0035] Combination Figures 1-5 The specific usage process of the device for transferring large-sized fish fry in this embodiment is as follows: When using this device, a small amount of anesthetic is first added to the fish fry pond to anesthetize the Atlantic salmon fry. Then, these fish fry are put into the holding box 210. Then, the base of the transfer vehicle 110 is moved to transfer the fish fry. When it reaches another workshop, the hydraulic cylinder 130 is activated to drive the fork arm 150 to rise, thereby driving the holding box 210 to rise so that the fish outlet 210a faces the fish pond. Then, the movable plate 230 is opened to expose the fish outlet 210a, so that the cloth opening 220a extends out and into the fish pond. At this time, the fish fry enter the fish pond through the cloth opening 220a, which can replace manual handling to transfer the fish fry into the new fish pond and reduce the situation of the fish fry being injured by shock.
[0036] Furthermore, as the fish fry enter the fishpond through the opening 220a, the center of gravity inside the holding box 210 may shift slightly, potentially causing the holding box 210 to move along the fork arm 150. Therefore, this device also includes a locking assembly 300. The locking assembly 300 includes an L-shaped bracket 310 fixed to the top of the fork arm support frame 240, a pin 320 inserted into the L-shaped bracket 310 and movable relative to the L-shaped bracket 310, a baffle 330 fixed to the pin 320, and a second spring 340 sleeved on the pin 320. The fork arm 150 has a locking groove 150a that is compatible with the pin 320. When the holding box 210 is placed on the fork arm 150, the pin 320 moves downward and inserts into the locking groove 150a under the action of the second spring 340, making the holding box 210 and the fork arm 150 a single unit, thereby preventing the holding box 210 from shifting.
[0037] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
