Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a device suitable for transporting and selling Chinese soft-shelled turtles in batches. Background Art

[0002] Chinese soft-shelled turtle, also known as water fish, soft-shelled turtle, and round fish, is a common aquaculture species; wild Chinese soft-shelled turtles can be found in China, Japan, northern Vietnam, South Korea, and eastern Russia; they are aquatic and often live in freshwater areas with sandy and muddy bottoms. They have the habit of going ashore to sunbathe; they are carnivorous and feed mainly on fish, shrimp, and mollusks, and they often forage at night; Chinese soft-shelled turtles are wild and timid, and are easily stressed during long-distance transportation;

[0003] At present, a large number of individuals are placed in barrels or bags, which will cause mutual squeezing and biting, a large stress response, and after body surface injuries, it is easy to get infected and die in subsequent breeding; some are packed individually in woven bags, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and secondly, it is easy to cause secondary damage to the turtle body when catching the Chinese soft-shelled turtle individually. Since the bag cannot provide support, squeezing injuries often occur. In addition, since the bag is opaque, the health status of the turtle cannot be observed in time. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device suitable for bulk transportation and sale of Chinese soft-shelled turtles, which is suitable for long-distance transportation of Chinese soft-shelled turtles and is not likely to cause damage to the Chinese soft-shelled turtles.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a device suitable for bulk transportation and sale of Chinese soft-shelled turtles, comprising a plastron ring and an external fixed box arranged outside the plastron ring, the plastron ring comprising a support plate, the two ends of the support plate are upturned, and the middle of the support plate is horizontal, a bottom plate is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the support plate, and both sides of the bottom plate are provided with mutually connected limit plates, the bottom of the external fixed box is open, and a sealing plate is provided at the bottom end of the external fixed box, the sealing plate is a grid plate, and the sealing plate is connected to the external fixed box through a positioning mechanism, and the four corners of the top of the external fixed box are provided with folded corners, and the folded corners can be contracted inward to form an oblique funnel shape.

[0006] The present invention is further configured as follows: a hollow groove is provided on one side of the folded corner, and a through hole is provided at the center of the folded corner.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: protrusions are provided at the upturned positions at both ends of the plastron ring.

[0008] A further setting of the present invention is that: the positioning mechanism includes a positioning seat and a connecting seat. The positioning seat is fixedly arranged on the side of the sealing plate. A positioning groove is provided at the top of the positioning seat. A positioning rod is slidably arranged on one side of the positioning groove. The connecting seat is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the side of the outer fixing box and is in snap-fit with the positioning groove. A positioning hole corresponding to the positioning rod is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat.

[0009] A further setting of the present invention is that: a connecting disc is fixedly arranged at one end of the positioning rod away from the positioning seat. A return spring is arranged between the positioning seat and the connecting disc, and the return spring is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod.

[0010] To sum up, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention is divided into two parts, the ventral carapace ring and the outer fixing box. The ventral carapace ring is designed by using the characteristic that Chinese soft-shelled turtles like to "drill into holes". Its cross-section is in the shape of a "合" character tube, which has a certain supporting effect and a certain width. The bottom of the ventral carapace ring is in the shape of a flat boat with both ends upturned. When the Chinese soft-shelled turtle drills in, due to the bending of the cavity, the dorsal carapace is squeezed to complete the fixing function, protecting the abdomen of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle from friction and other injuries, reducing the infection caused by body damage. And because the bottom of the ventral carapace ring is in the shape of a boat with a curvature, once the body is fixed, the center of gravity of the body rises and the limbs are not easy to exert force, thus reducing the probability of biting and making it easier to capture; Four holes are left at the four corners above the outer fixing box, which can be pressed down to form an inclined funnel shape. Since the body of the turtle is usually a contracted circle, this design effectively reduces the shaking problem during transportation. On the one hand, the four funnel-shaped holes can store water and can be used for spraying and replenishing water. On the other hand, the funnel-shaped shape can accelerate and cool the wind around, which is beneficial to reducing the overall temperature inside the device; In addition, because the Chinese soft-shelled turtle has an external supporting structure composed of the ventral carapace ring and the outer fixing box, the supporting structure composed of the ventral carapace ring and the outer fixing box can realize functions such as ventilation and moisturizing. Therefore, they can be stacked on top of each other to achieve large-scale and long-term live transportation under low-stress conditions; They can also be placed in places such as supermarkets for direct sale.

Since the turtle body is usually a contracted circle, the shaking problem during transportation can be effectively reduced. The four funnel-shaped holes can preserve moisture on the one hand and can be sprayed for water replenishment. On the other hand, the funnel-shaped shape can accelerate and cool the peripheral wind, which is beneficial to lowering the overall temperature inside the device. The top of the sealing plate 3 and the inner wall of the top of the external fixing box 2 are provided with auxiliary materials with a certain water absorption capacity, which can maintain the moisturizing of the turtle skin and absorb the excrement of the turtle body during transportation.

[0019] In this embodiment, preferably, one side of the fold angle 201 is provided with a hollow groove 203 for ventilation, and a through hole 202 is provided at the center of the fold angle 201. The fold angle 201 is made of elastic plastic and can be compressed into the interior of the outer fixing box 2 to form an inclined funnel shape to limit the position of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle. Since the turtle body is usually a contracted circle, this design effectively reduces the shaking problem during transportation. The four funnel-shaped holes can, on the one hand, retain moisture for spraying and replenishing water, and on the other hand, the funnel shape can accelerate and cool the wind on the periphery, which is beneficial to reducing the overall temperature inside the device;

[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, protrusions 102 are provided at the upturned positions at both ends of the ventral carapace ring 1 to further fix the front and rear edges of the ventral carapace of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle and ensure that the Chinese soft-shelled turtle cannot freely enter or exit the ventral carapace ring 1;

[0021] In this embodiment, preferably, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning seat 401 and a connecting seat 406. The positioning seat 401 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sealing plate 3. A positioning groove 402 is provided at the top of the positioning seat 401. A positioning rod 403 is slidably arranged on one side of the positioning groove 402. The connecting seat 406 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the side of the outer fixing box 2 and is in snap-fit with the positioning groove 402. The position of the sealing plate 3 is initially positioned through the snap-fit between the positioning groove 402 and the connecting seat 406. A positioning hole 407 corresponding to the positioning rod 403 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 406. The sealing plate 3 and the outer fixing box 2 are further firmly connected through the snap-fit between the positioning rod 403 and the positioning hole 407;

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting disc 404 is fixedly arranged at one end of the positioning rod 403 away from the positioning seat 401. A return spring 405 is arranged between the positioning seat 401 and the connecting disc 404, and the return spring 405 is sleeved outside the positioning rod 403. The return spring 405 can be reset when the positioning rod 403 is not subjected to an external pulling force, so that the positioning rod 403 automatically snaps into the positioning hole 407 of the positioning rod 403.

[0023] During use, when the Chinese soft-shelled turtle is caught and placed in the ventral carapace ring 1, or the Chinese soft-shelled turtle automatically drills into the ventral carapace ring 1, the cross-section is a tubular shape like the Chinese character "合" with a certain supporting effect and a certain width. The bottom of the ventral carapace ring 1 is a flat boat shape with both ends upturned. After the Chinese soft-shelled turtle drills in, due to the bending of the cavity, the dorsal carapace is squeezed to complete the fixing effect, protecting the abdomen of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle from friction and other injuries, reducing the infection caused by body damage, and because the bottom of the ventral carapace ring 1 is a boat shape with a curvature, once the body is fixed, the center of gravity of the body rises and the limbs are not easy to exert force, thus reducing the probability of biting and making it easier to capture;

[0024] Then, the plastron ring 1 with the Chinese soft-shell turtle is placed on the top of the sealing plate 3, and the positioning rod 403 is pulled outward, and the external fixing box 2 is sleeved on the top of the sealing plate 3, so that the connecting seat 406 is inserted into the positioning groove 402 of the positioning seat 401, and the positioning rod 403 is inserted into the positioning hole 407 of the connecting seat 406 under the elastic action of the return spring 405, so that the sealing plate 3 and the external fixing box 2 are connected together;

[0025] Then, the folded corner 201 is squeezed inwardly to be compressed into the inside of the external fixing box 2 to form an oblique funnel shape to limit the position of the Chinese soft-shell turtle. Since the turtle body is usually a contracted circle, this design effectively reduces the shaking problem during transportation. The four funnel-shaped holes can preserve moisture and can be sprayed for water replenishment. On the other hand, the funnel-shaped shape can accelerate and cool the external wind, which is beneficial to reduce the overall temperature inside the device.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
