Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquaculture vessel technology, and particularly relates to a funnel-shaped aquaculture cabin. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to fixed aquaculture equipment such as aquaculture cages and fish farms, aquaculture workboats are mobile, allowing them to avoid typhoons or relocate to track the best seasonal aquaculture areas.

[0003] As disclosed in Chinese Patent 202011457200.1, the existing aquaculture vessels have mostly enclosed aquaculture compartments that drain water by suction, and the relatively flat bottom structure makes it difficult to drain all the water.

[0004] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention primarily provides a funnel-shaped aquaculture chamber, solving the technical problem that the aquaculture chamber cannot be completely drained during drainage.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a funnel-type aquaculture chamber, comprising a chamber body formed by multiple vertical side plates connected end to end; each vertical side plate has a bottom edge connected to an inclined side plate, and adjacent inclined side plates are connected; the bottom edge of each inclined side plate is connected to a bottom plate; each inclined side plate and the bottom plate together form a funnel structure located below the chamber body; a drainage pipe is provided at the bottom plate.

[0007] According to the funnel-shaped aquaculture chamber of the present invention, the number of upright side plates is four; the connection between two upright side plates, between two inclined side plates, and between upright side plates and inclined side plates is all by welding.

[0008] According to the funnel-type aquaculture chamber of the present invention, the chamber body is a cuboid structure; two of the four vertical side plates form the long side surface of the cuboid, and the other two form the end face, and the bottom plate is located close to one of the end faces.

[0009] According to the funnel-shaped aquaculture chamber of the present invention, the inclined side plate connected to the vertical side plate forming the long side has an arc structure; the two sides of the arc structure of the inclined side plate are respectively connected to the adjacent vertical side plate and the inclined side plate; the end of the arc structure is connected to the adjacent vertical side plate forming the end face.

[0010] According to the funnel-shaped aquaculture tank of the present invention, a spraying mechanism is provided on the upright side plate; the spraying mechanism includes a vertically arranged vertical trough plate, and a bottom trough plate is fixedly connected between the vertical trough plate and the upright side plate; a water storage tank is formed between the vertical trough plate, the bottom trough plate and the upright side plate; both ends of the water storage tank are closed structures.

[0011] The bottom trough plate has multiple water outlet holes, and the water outlet holes are also connected to water spray pipes; the water spray pipes have nozzles facing the vertical side plate.

[0012] According to the funnel-shaped aquaculture tank of the present invention, the water storage tank is further provided with a plug for blocking the water outlet.

[0013] According to the funnel-type aquaculture chamber of the present invention, the plug is further connected to an opening and closing assembly; the opening and closing assembly includes a swing rod rotatably disposed on the top of the vertical trough plate; one end of the swing rod is fixedly connected to a top rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to a plugging rod; the lower end of the plugging rod is connected to the plug; and the lower end of the top rod is fixedly connected to a float.

[0016] According to the funnel-shaped aquaculture chamber of the present invention, the nozzle is provided with a plurality of water spray holes.

[0017] In summary, this invention achieves this by tilting each inclined side plate at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, with all the inclined side plates collectively forming a funnel shape.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] See Figure 1 The present invention provides a funnel-type aquaculture chamber, comprising a chamber body formed by multiple vertical side plates 1 connected end to end; each vertical side plate 1 has a bottom edge connected to an inclined side plate 2, and adjacent inclined side plates 2 are connected; the bottom edge of each inclined side plate 2 is connected to a bottom plate 3; each inclined side plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 together form a funnel structure located below the chamber body; a drainage pipe is provided at the bottom plate 3;

[0026] Each inclined side plate 2 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the inclined side plates 2 together form a funnel shape. During drainage, as the water in the breeding tank is discharged, the water level drops and gradually gathers at the bottom plate 3, making it easy to drain the water through the drain pipe.

[0027] Optionally, during drainage, the drain pipe is connected to a pumping device to remove the water from the compartment.

[0028] Preferably, the number of upright side plates 1 in this invention is four; the connection between two upright side plates 1, between two inclined side plates 2, and between upright side plates 1 and inclined side plates 2 are all welded, which results in high construction efficiency.

[0029] As one embodiment, the cabin of the present invention has a cuboid structure; two of the four upright side plates 1 form the long side surfaces of the cuboid, and the other two form the end faces, with the bottom plate 3 positioned close to one of the end faces; during drainage, the suction device can be connected to the drain pipe from this end face, facilitating the layout of the drainage pipeline. It also facilitates the cleaning work of the workers after drainage.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As one embodiment, an inclined side plate 2 with a circular arc structure is connected to the upright side plate 1 forming the long side surface; this reduces stress concentration; the two sides of the circular arc structure of the inclined side plate 2 are respectively connected to the adjacent upright side plate 1 and inclined side plate 2; the end of the circular arc structure is connected to the adjacent upright side plate 1 forming the end face; this avoids the formation of corner welds and also avoids weld overlap. This avoids stress concentration and reduces the risk of cracking.

[0031] Inside the compartment, the water flow is low near the inner wall, causing contaminants to accumulate there. During drainage, as the water level slowly drops, contaminants gradually adhere to the upright side panel 1. After drying, they tend to clump together, thus requiring regular manual cleaning.

[0032] For this question, see [link / reference] Figure 4 The present invention also provides an embodiment in which a spray washing mechanism is provided on the upright side plate 1; the spray washing mechanism includes a vertically arranged upright trough plate 4, and a bottom trough plate 41 is fixedly connected between the upright trough plate 4 and the upright side plate 1; a water storage tank is formed between the upright trough plate 4, the bottom trough plate 41 and the upright side plate 1; both ends of the water storage tank are closed structures.

[0033] See Figure 5 The bottom trough plate 41 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 42, and the water outlet holes 42 are also connected to a water spray pipe 43; the water spray pipe 43 has a nozzle facing the vertical side plate 1.

[0034] Water in the water storage tank can be sprayed from the nozzle onto the side panel 1 through the water spray pipe 43, thereby washing away the dirt on the side panel 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the nozzle has multiple spray holes. The small diameter of the spray holes increases the velocity of the sprayed water and enhances the rinsing force. Those skilled in the art can select well-known nozzles for use in this invention.

[0036] The water storage tank is also equipped with a plug 5 for blocking the water outlet 42; pressing the plug 5 into the water outlet 42 will block the water from flowing out of the water storage tank; pulling out the plug 5 will cause water to spray out from the spray pipe 43.

[0037] Furthermore, the plug 5 is also connected to an opening and closing assembly; the opening and closing assembly includes a swing rod 55 rotatably disposed on the top of the vertical slot plate 4; one end of the swing rod 55 is fixedly connected to a top rod 53, and the other end is rotatably connected to a blocking rod 51; the lower end of the blocking rod 51 is connected to the plug 5; the lower end of the top rod 53 is fixedly connected to a float ball 54.

[0038] When the water level inside the cabin is high, the float 54 pushes the push rod 53 upward under the action of buoyancy. Through the transmission of the swing rod 55, the blocking rod 51 exerts downward pressure on the plug 5, thereby sealing the water inlet 44.

[0039] When draining water, as the water level in the cabin drops, the float 54 is submerged in the water and the buoyancy it experiences remains unchanged, keeping the inlet hole 44 closed.

[0040] When the water level in the cabin drops to the point where it separates from the float 54, the buoyancy disappears; under the gravity of the float 54 and the push rod 53, the blocking rod 51 moves upward and pulls out the plug 5, thereby opening the water inlet 44 and spraying water out from the spray pipe 43.

[0041] Setting the height of the float 54 controls when the water spray pipe 43 will open.

[0042] The opening and closing component of this invention can be linked to the water level inside the chamber to automatically control the opening and closing of the water spray pipe 43. Utilizing buoyancy, the water spray pipe 43 is kept closed when the water level inside the chamber is high; during drainage, when the water level inside the chamber is low, the water spray pipe 43 is opened to rinse the side panel 1, promptly flushing off dirt as soon as it adheres, reducing the workload of manual cleaning and the cleaning area.

[0043] Optionally, the water storage tank is also provided with a guide tube 52 that is movably connected to the blocking rod 51; so that the blocking rod 51 can move in the vertical direction; there is a sufficient gap between the guide tube 52 and the blocking rod 51 to avoid jamming.

[0044] Optionally, the guide tube 52 can be fixed on the vertical groove plate 4 or the vertical side plate 1.

[0045] See Figure 6 The water storage tank has a water inlet hole 44 on its bottom plate 41. A cover plate 56, rotatably connected to the bottom plate 41, is also provided at the water inlet hole 44. When the water level in the tank rises, the cover plate 56 lifts the water into the storage tank. When the water level in the tank drops, a height difference is created between the water level in the tank and the water level in the storage tank, causing the cover plate 56 to seal the water inlet hole 44. Water in the storage tank can only flow out through the spray pipe 43. This achieves automatic filling and emptying of the water storage tank.

[0046] Furthermore, the bottom groove plate 41 is made of magnetic material, and the cover plate 56 is provided with a magnetic layer 561; when the cover plate 56 is closed, a certain magnetic attraction is generated between the magnetic layer 561 and the bottom groove plate 41 to prevent the cover plate 56 from opening by itself.

[0047] Optionally, a cover net 57 is also provided at the water inlet 44 of the bottom trough plate 41 to prevent blocky objects from entering the water outlet trough and clogging the water outlet 42.

[0048] In summary, this invention provides a funnel-shaped aquaculture chamber, in which each inclined side plate is tilted at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the inclined side plates together form a funnel shape. During drainage, as water is discharged from the aquaculture chamber, the water level decreases and gradually accumulates at the bottom plate, making it easy to drain the water through the drain pipe.

[0049] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
