Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture equipment, specifically to a goby aquaculture device and method. Background Technology

[0002] As a high-value aquaculture species, the development of aquaculture equipment is crucial for improving the efficiency of goby farming. However, current aquaculture equipment designs generally have shortcomings and fail to fully meet the growth needs of gobies. Traditional aquaculture equipment often uses simple containers or fixed habitats, lacking flexibility and adaptability, and failing to fully consider the goby's preference for enclosed spaces. The restriction of activity space for larvae in these devices often leads to poor growth. Furthermore, the poor structural stability of the equipment can easily cause distress in larvae, thus affecting their healthy growth.

[0003] Existing aquaculture systems also have significant deficiencies in their feeding systems. Most equipment lacks a dedicated feeding structure, requiring manual operation during feeding. This not only increases labor intensity but also causes feed to scatter, making it difficult to concentrate in the larval activity area, leading to feed waste and water pollution. Manual operation can also easily interfere with the larvae's feeding behavior, further reducing feed utilization efficiency. Furthermore, PVC pipes, a common material for goby habitats, are typically fixed using simple clips or adhesives, which are neither secure enough nor easy to adjust the pipe diameter according to the larvae's growth needs. Additionally, the swaying of the pipes in the water can disturb the larvae's rest.

[0004] In summary, existing goby farming facilities suffer from three main problems: first, the habitat structure is not stable enough, and the PVC pipes are not securely fixed, affecting juvenile growth; second, the feeding system is inadequate, resulting in low feeding efficiency and significant waste; and third, the equipment is cumbersome to operate, and replacing and maintaining the PVC pipes is difficult, increasing farming costs and operational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an improved farming facility that optimizes the habitat structure and feeding system to provide a more stable growth environment for gobies, thereby improving farming efficiency and reducing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a goby farming device and method, which solves the problems of unstable habitat, inconvenient feeding operations, and difficult equipment maintenance during goby farming.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a goby farming device, including a pool, a support frame is provided in the pool, a base plate is slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the support frame, a number of connecting plates are fixedly connected to the top of each base plate, and a number of support seats are fixedly installed on one side of each connecting plate.

[0007] Each support base has a fixed ring fixedly connected to its inner wall, and a connecting post is slidably connected inside each fixed ring. A spring is provided between each support base and the connecting post.

[0008] One end of each connecting column is fixedly connected to a connecting block, the inner walls of both sides of each connecting block are slidably connected to a connecting shaft, and the two ends of each connecting shaft are rotatably connected to a connecting plate. Adjacent connecting plates are rotatably connected by a fixed shaft, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support base.

[0009] Adjacent connecting plates are rotatably connected by connecting shafts. Each connecting shaft has a connecting block 2 rotatably connected to its outer wall. An arc-shaped clamp is fixedly installed on one side of each connecting block 2. A PVC pipe is installed between adjacent arc-shaped clamps.

[0010] The outer wall of the support frame is equipped with a feeding component for conveniently feeding food into the PVC pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a second connecting column, which is disposed on the outer wall of the support frame and rotatably connected to the inside of the water tank. One end of the second connecting column is fixedly connected to a handle, and the other end is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, each arc-shaped clamp is provided with several springs, one end of each spring is fixedly connected to a ball, and the other end is fixed inside the arc-shaped clamp.

[0013] Preferably, each base plate has several connecting grooves inside, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column two, and the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pool.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of locking posts are slidably connected inside the connecting tube, and locking balls are fixedly connected to both sides of each locking post, with the locking balls located inside the connecting tube.

[0015] Preferably, one end of the locking post is disposed inside the connecting post two, and the other end is provided with a baffle.

[0016] Preferably, the baffle is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe, the outer wall of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the fixing ring two, and a spring three is provided between the fixing ring two and the baffle.

[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a support base, and the support base is located at the bottom of the support frame and fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the pool.

[0018] Preferably, rotating plates one are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft, rotating plates two are rotatably connected inside each rotating plate one, and connecting shaft three is rotatably connected inside each rotating plate two. The connecting shaft three is fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the support frame.

[0019] A method for raising goby using a farming device includes the following steps:

[0020] Step 1: Slide the base plate onto the inner wall of the support frame;

[0021] Step 2: Press the connecting block 1 to one side to make the connecting post 1 slide inside the fixing ring 1, compress the spring 1 and limit it;

[0022] Step 3: The connecting block 1 drives the connecting shaft 1 to move, thereby causing the connecting plate 2 to rotate around the fixed shaft, which in turn causes the connecting shaft 2 to open the arc-shaped clamp on the connecting block 2.

[0023] Step 4: When the distance between the arc-shaped clamps is greater than the diameter of the PVC pipe, place the PVC pipe between the arc-shaped clamps and align the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe with the retaining ball inside the arc-shaped clamp.

[0024] Step 5: Loosen connecting block 1, and use the reaction force of spring 1 to clamp the arc-shaped clamping plate on the outer wall of the PVC pipe, while simultaneously allowing the clamping ball 1 to enter the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe.

[0025] Step 6: Pull the baffle to release the movement space of the locking column, rotate the handle to rotate the connecting column two, and put the food into the PVC pipe to feed the goby.

[0026] This invention provides a goby farming device and method. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. This invention guides the rotation of the connecting plate two by utilizing the rebound characteristics of spring one and the angled grooves on both sides of the connecting block one, thereby clamping and fixing the PVC pipe with the arc-shaped clamps on both sides. This makes the installation and disassembly of the PVC pipe convenient and quick. When gobies grow larger and require replacement with larger PVC pipes, installation and disassembly can be easily performed, saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0028] 2. This invention uses a locking ball that engages with a groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe to fix its position, preventing shaking or tilting during use. The rebound properties of the second spring further ensure the positioning of the locking ball, thus enhancing the stability of the PVC pipe during use.

[0029] 3. By rotating the handle, the support frame rotates 90 degrees around the pivot, keeping the support frame parallel to the worker. This makes it easier for the worker to put food into the PVC pipe, enhancing the portability of food feeding and improving work efficiency.

[0030] 4. This invention achieves angle fixation by interlocking the locking post with the groove on the outer wall of the connecting post two, preventing accidental rotation of the connecting post two due to gravity. The baffle and spring three further ensure the positioning of the locking post and enable the baffle to quickly reset, providing additional protection for the fixation of the connecting post two and enhancing the stability of the equipment when feeding food into the PVC pipe.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 7This invention provides a goby farming device and method, comprising:

[0041] In this embodiment, the water tank 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device, accommodating the aquaculture water and the device itself. In practical use, the water tank 1 is typically made of stainless steel or plastic, possessing high corrosion resistance. The support frame 2 is fixed inside the water tank 1. The support frame is made of rust-resistant alloy or high-strength plastic to ensure it will not be damaged during long-term use in water. The inner walls on both sides of the support frame 2 are provided with grooves for mounting the base plate 32.

[0042] The workers align the base plate 32 with the sliding grooves on both sides of the support frame 2 and slide the base plate 32 into the support frame 2 along the direction of the sliding grooves. After the base plate 32 is installed in place, its height and position on the support frame 2 can be adjusted according to different breeding needs, making the device more flexible. Several connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the top of each base plate 32. The connecting plates 4 are fixed with bolts to ensure a stable connection.

[0043] The support base 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 4 using bolts to ensure it is stable and will not fall off. A fixing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support base 6, and a connecting column 9 is slidably installed inside the fixing ring 7. During installation, the connecting column 9 is slidably inserted into the fixing ring 7. A spring 8 is placed between the support base 6 and the connecting column 9. One end of the spring 8 is connected to the inner wall of the support base, and the other end is connected to the connecting column 9. The spring 8 is installed in a compressed state to provide a restoring force when the connecting column 9 slides. One end of the connecting column 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 10, and connecting shafts 11 are slidably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the connecting block 1. The two ends of the connecting shaft 1 are connected to the connecting plate 12 via snap-fit ​​connections, and adjacent connecting plates 12 are rotatably connected via a fixing shaft 13, which is bolted to the outer wall of the support base 6. Adjacent connecting plates 12 are rotatably connected via connecting shafts 14, and connecting blocks 15 are installed on the outer wall of each connecting shaft 15. An arc-shaped clamping plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of each connecting block 15. The curvature design of the arc-shaped clamp is matched with that of the PVC pipe 5 to ensure a secure clamping.

[0044] The worker presses down on connecting block 10, causing connecting post 9 to slide within fixing ring 7. Connecting shafts 11 on both sides of connecting block 1 move, causing connecting plate 12 to rotate around fixing shaft 13, which in turn causes connecting shaft 14 and connecting block 15 to open the arc-shaped clamping plate 16. When the distance the arc-shaped clamping plate opens is greater than the diameter of the PVC pipe, the PVC pipe 5 is placed between the arc-shaped clamping plates, aligning the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe with the retaining ball 18 inside the clamping plate. After releasing connecting block 10, the restoring force of spring 8 clamps the arc-shaped clamping plate 16 to hold the PVC pipe 5, and embeds the retaining ball 1 into the groove of the PVC pipe, achieving a stable clamping.

[0045] During the use of PVC pipe 5, the activity of gobies may cause the pipe to vibrate, affecting its stability. This invention solves this problem through the cooperation of spring 2 17 and retaining ball 18. When PVC pipe 5 vibrates within the arc-shaped clamp 16, retaining ball 18, under the action of spring 2 17, remains in contact with the groove of PVC pipe 5, ensuring the stability of PVC pipe 5. The elasticity setting of spring 2 17 is optimized according to the weight and diameter of PVC pipe 5, ensuring the positioning function of retaining ball 18 without damaging the pipe due to excessive force.

[0046] In actual breeding operations, feeding is frequent, so a special feeding component was designed, including connecting column 25, handle 19, and rotating shaft 27. The feeding component is installed on the outer wall of the support frame 2 and can rotate to facilitate food delivery.

[0047] One end of the connecting post 25 is fixedly mounted with a handle 19, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the pool 1 via a rotating shaft 27. The rotating shaft 27 is rotatably mounted to allow the connecting post 2 to rotate. The outer wall of the connecting post 2 of the feeding assembly is provided with a slot, and the locking post 22 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 21. The baffle 20 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 21 via a sliding groove, and a spring 3 23 is provided between the baffle 20 and the locking post 22 for the baffle to reset.

[0048] During the feeding operation, the operator pulls the baffle 20 to release the locking pin 22 from the outer wall of the connecting pin 25, allowing the connecting pin 25 to rotate freely. By rotating the handle 19, the connecting pin 25 and the support frame rotate synchronously, positioning the support frame to a convenient feeding position, allowing the operator to easily place food into the inlet of the PVC pipe 5. After feeding, the baffle 20 is released, and the spring 3 23 pushes the baffle back, causing the locking pin 22 to re-engage in the groove on the outer wall of the connecting pin 25, fixing the feeding component in place.

[0049] The support base 3 is used to support the support frame 2 and ensure its stability. The support base is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the pool 1 and is connected to the bottom of the support frame through the pivot 27.

[0050] Secure the support base 3 to the bottom of the pool 1 with bolts, then insert the pivot 27 of the support frame 2 into the support base, ensuring that the support frame can rotate around the pivot. The support base is made of waterproof material to ensure that it will not corrode during long-term use in the pool.

[0051] The support base 3 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the support frame 2, and the support frame 2 remains stable during operation, avoiding swaying caused by the shift of the center of gravity, thus stabilizing the breeding environment.

[0052] Connecting shaft 30 is fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of support frame 2, rotating plate 28 is fixedly connected to both sides of rotating shaft 27, and rotating plate 29 is rotatably connected inside rotating plate 1, forming a multi-connection structure.

[0053] Rotating plate 28 is installed on both sides of rotating shaft 27 and secured with bolts to ensure a firm connection. Rotating plate 29 is installed inside rotating plate 28, and is connected to connecting shaft 30. Connecting shaft 30 is fixed to the inner wall of the support frame to enhance its rotational stability. When the support frame rotates, the rotating shaft, rotating plates, and connecting shaft work together to keep the support frame stable during rotation, preventing vibration from affecting operation and improving the convenience of feeding and maintenance.

[0054] Overall principle description: During equipment installation, the base plate 32 is first slidably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 2, and then the connecting block 10 is pressed to one side. This pressing force will cause the connecting column 9 to slide inside the fixing ring 7. While the connecting column 9 slides inside the fixing ring 7, it will compress the spring 8 and limit the spring 8 to prevent it from bending excessively while being compressed.

[0055] As connecting block 10 moves, it drives connecting shaft 11 to move via the angled grooves on both sides, thereby causing connecting plates 12 on both sides to rotate around fixed shaft 13. This rotational force will drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 16 on one side of connecting block 15 to move via connecting shaft 14.

[0056] When the distance between the two curved clamps 16 is greater than the diameter of the PVC pipe 5, move the PVC pipe 5 between the two curved clamps 16 and align the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe 5 with the retaining ball 18 inside the curved clamp 16. Then release the pressure on the connecting block 10, and use the rebound force of the spring 8 to push the two curved clamps 16 to clamp and fix the PVC pipe 5, while pushing the retaining ball 18 to the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe 5.

[0057] At this time, the ball clamp 18 will be squeezed by the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe 5, which will cause the spring 2 17 to be compressed. The rebound force of the spring 2 17 will enhance the squeezing force of the ball clamp 18 on the groove on the outer wall of the PVC pipe 5, thereby enhancing the stability of the PVC pipe 5 during use and improving the installation efficiency of the PVC pipe 5.

[0058] When it is necessary to replace or disassemble the PVC pipe 5, follow the same operating steps, press the connecting block 10 again, and remove the arc-shaped clamps 16 on both sides from the outer wall of the PVC pipe 5 to disassemble the PVC pipe 5.

[0059] When it is time to feed the goby, pull the baffle 20 to move it away from the locking post 22, providing space for the locking post 22 to move. As the baffle 20 moves, it exerts a compressive force on the spring 3 23, causing it to compress. Then, rotate the handle 19, using its rotational force to drive the connecting post 25 to rotate synchronously.

[0060] As the column rotates, the arc surface of the groove edge on the outer wall of the connecting column 25 causes the locking column 22 to slide inside the connecting tube 21 until the locking column 22 is removed from the groove on the outer wall of the connecting column 25. As the locking column 22 moves, it causes the locking ball 26 to slide inside the connecting tube 21. The sliding groove inside the connecting tube 21 limits the movement distance of the locking column 22, preventing it from detaching from the inside of the connecting tube 21.

[0061] As the connecting column 25 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 27 to rotate synchronously. This rotation drives the rotating plate 29 to rotate synchronously via the rotating plate 28, which in turn drives the support frame 2 to rotate via the connecting shaft 30. When the support frame 2 rotates to 90 degrees, the locking column 22 moves to another groove on the outer wall of the connecting column 25.

[0062] At this time, the pulling force of the baffle 20 is released, and the rebound force of the spring 3 23 is used to push the baffle 20 to move back to the outer wall of the locking post 22, and push the locking post 22 to lock back into the groove on the outer wall of the connecting post 25, thereby fixing the angle of the connecting post 25.

[0063] Next, the staff put the food into the inside of the PVC pipe 5, and then conveniently put the food into the inside of the PVC pipe 5 on the other side of the bottom plate through the connecting groove 31, thereby enhancing the convenience of putting food into the PVC pipe 5.

[0064] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
