Therefore, how to monitor the dynamics of zooplankton has become an important task in marine ecological research.
[0003] At present, the monitoring methods for zooplankton mainly include traditional trawling, optical observation and acoustic detection technologies.

For zooplankton that are small, dispersed and susceptible to environmental influences, the capture efficiency is low and it is easy to cause sample damage or distortion. In addition, most of the existing fishing devices rely on manual operation and lack efficient automation mechanisms, making it difficult to achieve long-term and large-scale continuous monitoring, especially in deep-sea environments, which further increases the difficulty and cost of operation.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a zooplankton trapping and monitoring device, including a capture structure 1, a screening structure 2 and a negative pressure generating structure 3. The capture structure 1 includes a capture bin 12 and a capture inlet 11 arranged on the capture bin 12, and the capture inlet 11 is used to guide the zooplankton into the capture bin 12. The capture inlet 11 can be set to multiple to expand the capture range and improve the capture efficiency. The capture bin 12 serves as a preliminary collection area for zooplankton, which can effectively accommodate the entering zooplankton while avoiding mechanical damage to the zooplankton. The screening structure 2 includes a screening bin 21, a one-way valve 22 and a screen 23. The one-way valve 22 is installed at the inlet of the screening bin 21, and is used to control the connection state between the screening bin 21 and the capture bin 12. When the one-way valve 22 is opened, the screening bin 21 is connected to the capture bin 12, and the zooplankton collected in the capture bin 12 enters the screening bin 21 under the action of negative pressure; when the one-way valve 22 is closed, the passage between the screening bin 21 and the capture bin 12 is blocked, thereby preventing the zooplankton in the screening bin 21 from flowing back to the capture bin 12, ensuring the unidirectionality and high efficiency of the capture process. The screen 23 is arranged inside the screening bin 21, and the screening bin 21 is divided into a plurality of independent bins in turn, and zooplankton of different types or sizes is graded and collected by the screen 23. The negative pressure generating structure 3 is connected to the screening bin 21, and is used to generate a negative pressure environment in the screening bin 21. When the negative pressure generating structure 3 is working, the zooplankton in the capture bin 12 is sucked into the screening bin 21 under the action of negative pressure, thereby realizing the capture of zooplankton and effectively reducing the mechanical damage to the zooplankton.
[0028] The zooplankton trapping and monitoring device of the present application realizes the automated capture of zooplankton in a deep-sea environment through the coordinated action of the capture structure 1, the screening structure 2 and the negative pressure generating structure 3.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the number of screens 23 is set to be multiple, and the mesh size of each screen 23 decreases in sequence along the direction from the entrance of the sub-screening bin 21 to the negative pressure generating structure 3. This hierarchical design enables the sub-screening bin 21 to screen step by step according to the size differences of zooplankton, thereby achieving accurate classification of zooplankton of different sizes. Specifically, the screen 23 near the entrance of the sub-screening bin 21 adopts a larger mesh size to intercept zooplankton of larger size; the mesh size of the screen 23 in the middle layer is moderate, which is used to screen zooplankton of medium size; and the screen 23 near the negative pressure generating structure 3 adopts a smaller mesh size to capture zooplankton of the smallest size. Through this hierarchical screening mechanism, the device can accurately divide zooplankton into multiple categories according to the size range, and store them in different areas of the sub-screening bin 21 respectively, so as to improve the precision and accuracy of zooplankton sampling. In addition, the hierarchical screening design also reduces the mutual interference between zooplankton of different sizes, avoids sample mixing, and thus improves the overall performance and practicality of the device.
[0030] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, there are multiple sub-screening structures 2, each of which is connected to the capture structure 1, and the number of negative pressure generating structures 3 corresponds to the number of sub-screening structures 2, and each negative pressure generating structure 3 is also connected to the corresponding sub-screening structure 2. Each negative pressure generating structure 3 is started in sequence according to a set time interval. This timing control mechanism can effectively avoid the pressure interference caused by the simultaneous operation of multiple negative pressure generating structures 3, thereby ensuring that each sub-screening structure 2 can operate independently. The sub-screening structures 2 are arranged in a circular arrangement on the periphery of the capture structure 1, which not only optimizes the space utilization, but also enables each sub-screening structure 2 to share the same capture structure 1, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the device and reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0031] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure generating structure 3 includes a negative pressure generating chamber 31 and a piston 32. The inlet end of the negative pressure generating chamber 31 is connected to the sub-screening chamber 21, so that the space in the sub-screening chamber 21 can form a fluid connection with the negative pressure generating chamber 31. The piston 32 is slidably arranged inside the negative pressure generating chamber 31, and its sliding direction is consistent with the axial direction of the negative pressure generating chamber 31. When the piston 32 slides away from the inlet end of the negative pressure generating chamber 31, the volume in the negative pressure generating chamber 31 increases, thereby generating a negative pressure environment in the sub-screening chamber 21. This negative pressure effect can suck the zooplankton in the capture chamber 12 into the sub-screening chamber 21, thereby achieving efficient capture of zooplankton. The working process of the negative pressure generating structure 3 causes less damage to the zooplankton, can effectively maintain the integrity and activity of the sample, and provide high-quality sample data for subsequent scientific research.
[0032] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure generating chamber 31 can be directly connected to the screening chamber 21; or, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the negative pressure generating bin body 31 is connected to the sub-screening bin body 21 via a conduit. This arrangement is beneficial to reducing the overall height of the device and reducing the effects of vibration between the negative pressure generating structures 3.
[0033] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure generating structure 3 also includes an elastic member 33, one end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the negative pressure generating chamber body 31, and the other end of the elastic member 33 is connected to the piston 32, and the elastic member 33 is used to drive the piston 32 to slide away from the inlet end of the negative pressure generating chamber body 31. When the piston 32 is subjected to an external force and moves toward the inlet end of the negative pressure generating chamber body 31, the elastic member 33 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy; when the external force is released, the elastic member 33 uses its stored elastic potential energy to drive the piston 32 to slide in the direction away from the inlet end, thereby generating a negative pressure environment in the negative pressure generating chamber body 31. The elastic member 33 can be made of a spring or other material with elastic recovery characteristics, and its elastic coefficient can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the sliding speed of the piston 32 and the negative pressure generation effect meet the requirements of zooplankton capture. In addition, the introduction of the elastic member 33 enables the negative pressure generating structure 3 to work without external power input, simplifies the structure of the negative pressure generating structure 3, and reduces the energy consumption and operating cost of the device.
[0034] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional area of the piston 32 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the screening bin body 21. This size difference enables the piston 32 to generate a greater negative pressure effect in the negative pressure generating bin body 31 during the sliding process, thereby enhancing the suction force on the zooplankton in the screening bin body 21. When the piston 32 slides away from the inlet end of the negative pressure generating bin body 31, due to the larger cross-sectional area of the piston 32, the volume change generated by its unit displacement also increases accordingly, thereby significantly improving the working efficiency of the negative pressure generating structure 3, not only ensuring that the zooplankton is quickly and effectively sucked into the screening bin body 21, but also reducing the sliding stroke of the piston 32, thereby optimizing the overall structural layout of the device.
[0035] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure generating structure 3 further includes a piston rod 34 and an unlocking member 35. The first end of the piston rod 34 is fixedly connected to the piston 32, and the second end extends to the outside of the negative pressure generating chamber 31, and a card slot 341 is provided at its end. The unlocking member 35 is used to control the movement state of the piston rod 34 and the piston 32. When the lock tongue of the unlocking member 35 is clamped in the card slot 341, the piston rod 34 and the piston 32 are locked and cannot move; when the lock tongue of the unlocking member 35 withdraws from the card slot 341, the elastic member 33 releases its stored elastic potential energy, driving the piston 32 to slide away from the inlet end of the negative pressure generating chamber 31, thereby generating negative pressure in the negative pressure generating chamber 31. The unlocking member 35 can be specifically implemented by an electromagnetic lock. In the initial state, by pressing the second end of the piston rod 34, the elastic member 33 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy until the lock tongue of the electromagnetic lock is clamped in the card slot 341, completing the locking of the piston rod 34 and the piston 32. When the negative pressure generating structure 3 needs to be activated, the electromagnetic lock is energized, the lock tongue contracts and withdraws from the slot 341, and the elastic member 33 then drives the piston 32 to slide, thereby generating negative pressure.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the bottom of the capture bin 12 is a conical structure, and the small diameter end of the conical bin is connected to the screening bin 21. When the negative pressure generating structure 3 is working, the tapered structure of the conical bin helps to concentrate and amplify the negative pressure effect, thereby enhancing the suction force on zooplankton. At the same time, the large diameter end of the conical bin expands the effective suction range, so that more zooplankton can be efficiently sucked into the capture bin 12. In addition, the conical structure can also guide the zooplankton to flow in the direction of the screening bin 21, reducing its retention time in the capture bin 12.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the capture structure 1 also includes a bait 13 disposed inside the capture chamber 12. The bait 13 is used to attract zooplankton to actively enter the capture chamber 12, thereby improving the capture efficiency. The bait 13 can be selected according to the type and habits of the target zooplankton, such as using a specific type of phytoplankton, chemical attractants or other biologically active substances. The arrangement position and release method of the bait 13 must ensure that it can be evenly diffused to the surrounding waters of the capture chamber 12 to form an effective attraction area.
[0038] like Figure 2As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the capture structure 1 also includes a camera 14 and / or an illuminator 15 disposed on the capture bin 12. The lens of the camera 14 faces the inner side of the capture bin 12, and is used to monitor the activities of zooplankton in the capture bin 12 in real time. The camera 14, in combination with the camera system, image processing algorithm and computer vision technology, is capable of real-time identification and analysis of zooplankton entering the capture bin 12. Through target detection and image classification technology, the camera 14 can distinguish different types of zooplankton and record data such as their quantity, size and movement behavior. The illuminator 15 is installed on the inner side or periphery of the capture bin 12 to provide sufficient lighting for the camera 14 under low light conditions to ensure the clarity and accuracy of image acquisition.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the device also includes an environmental monitor 4 disposed on the capture structure 1. The environmental monitor 4 is used to collect ecological environmental parameters of the water area where the capture structure 1 is located in real time, including key indicators such as temperature, salinity, pH value, dissolved oxygen, etc. These parameters are continuously monitored by the sensor module, and the data is transmitted to the data processing unit for recording and analysis, providing auxiliary data for the behavior research of zooplankton.
[0040] The present application also provides a working method of a zooplankton trapping and monitoring device, comprising the following steps: The capture chamber 12 of the capture structure 1 is filled with bait 13 , and the bait 13 is selected according to the type and habits of the target zooplankton to attract the zooplankton to actively enter the capture chamber 12 .
[0041] In addition, the elastic member 33 in the negative pressure generating structure 3 is compressed to move the piston rod 34 to the locked position, and the piston rod 34 is fixed by the unlocking member 35. At this time, the elastic member 33 is in an energy storage state. After the zooplankton trapping and monitoring device is placed in the waters of a predetermined depth, the camera 14 on the capture chamber 12 begins to record the zooplankton images entering the capture chamber 12 in real time, and combines image processing and computer vision technology to identify and analyze the zooplankton. At the same time, the environmental monitor 4 collects ecological and environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, pH value, dissolved oxygen, etc. of the waters in real time to provide auxiliary data for the behavior research of zooplankton.
[0042] When the number of zooplankton entering the capture chamber 12 reaches a preset threshold, or the device is placed in the water area for a predetermined time, the unlocking member 35 releases the piston rod 34. The piston 32 moves under the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 33, thereby generating negative pressure in the negative pressure generating chamber 31, and sucking the zooplankton in the capture chamber 12 into the screening chamber 21.
[0043] If there are multiple screening structures 2, each screening structure 2 is connected to the capture structure 1, and each negative pressure generating structure 3 is started in sequence at a set time interval to ensure that each screening structure 2 can independently and efficiently complete the capture and screening of zooplankton.
[0044] When the piston 32 stops moving, the one-way valve 22 is closed to prevent the zooplankton in the screening bin 21 from flowing back to the capture bin 12. Under the grading and screening action of the screen 23, the zooplankton is distributed to the corresponding intervals of the screening bin 21 according to its size, completing the capture and classification of the zooplankton.
[0045] Through the above steps, efficient trapping, precise screening and real-time monitoring of zooplankton are achieved.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
