Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ecological imitation aquaculture, and more specifically, to an ecological imitation aquaculture device for horseshoe crabs (Tachypleus tridentatus). Background Art
[0002] The horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus) is an ancient marine arthropod and has attracted much attention due to its medicinal value and biological research significance. However, due to overfishing and habitat destruction, the number of horseshoe crabs has decreased sharply and it has been listed as a vulnerable species. Therefore, the aquaculture of horseshoe crabs is of great significance for protecting this species.
[0003] During the process of horseshoe crab aquaculture, the water in the aquaculture pond needs to be changed every once in a while to ensure the quality of the water environment in the aquaculture pond. However, when horseshoe crabs are cultured, a layer of sand with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm needs to be laid in the aquaculture pond for the horseshoe crabs to drill into. During the water change process, about 80% of the water volume needs to be changed each time. At this time, when the water in the aquaculture pond is pumped out, part of the sand will be pumped out, resulting in a reduction in the amount of sand in the aquaculture pond. The reduced sand is not enough to cover the horseshoe crabs, and during the pumping process, the horseshoe crabs will also be sucked into the pumping equipment due to the suction force. When the traditional aquaculture pond is used, it cannot ensure that a large amount of sand is not sucked away during the water change, and the use effect is poor. Therefore, the present invention discloses an ecological imitation aquaculture device for horseshoe crabs, which can effectively ensure that the sand remains in the aquaculture pond during the water change process and can avoid sucking the horseshoe crabs into the pumping equipment during the pumping process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an ecological imitation aquaculture device for horseshoe crabs.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
[0006] The ecological imitation aquaculture device for horseshoe crabs includes an aquaculture pond. An isolation component is installed inside the aquaculture pond. The isolation component separates the sand and water during the water change. A pumping component is installed outside the aquaculture pond. The pumping component is connected to the inside of the lower side of the aquaculture pond through a connecting pipe;
[0007] The isolation component includes an isolation board. The isolation board has a wavy structure and is in a filter mesh shape. The isolation board also includes a baffle fixedly connected to one side of the isolation board. The baffle includes a vertical part and a horizontal part;
[0008] Quicksand grooves are opened at the lowest points of the wavy baffle. A sealing component is installed inside the quicksand grooves. The sealing component is used to seal the quicksand grooves.
[0009] Further, the isolation component further includes an inclined plate, one end of the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the isolation plate, and the other end of the inclined plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle. The inclined plate is disposed in an inclined manner in the breeding pond, and the side of the inclined plate close to the isolation plate is lower.
[0010] Further, a plurality of water passing holes are formed in the upper part of the baffle, and the size of the water passing holes is larger than that of the holes on the isolation plate.
[0011] Further, a contraction groove is formed at one end of the quicksand trough. The sealing component includes a sealing plate slidably installed inside the contraction groove. A push rod is fixedly installed at one end of the sealing plate away from the quicksand trough. The push rod is used to push the sealing plate to move. The sealing plate is in pressing contact with the inner wall of the quicksand trough through a rubber pad.
[0012] Further, an electronic valve is installed inside the connecting pipe, and the electronic valve is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe.
[0013] Further, an adjusting component is installed on one side inside the breeding pond. The adjusting component includes a driving motor fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the breeding pond. A reciprocating threaded rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor. The end of the reciprocating threaded rod penetrates through the horizontal part of the baffle and extends to the lower side thereof. A guiding block is rotatably installed at the part where the baffle contacts the reciprocating threaded rod. The outer wall of the guiding block is in pressing contact with the inner wall of the thread groove on the reciprocating threaded rod.
[0014] Further, a water flow velocity detector is installed inside the connecting pipe. The water flow velocity detector is used to detect the flow velocity of the water flow in the connecting pipe. A calculation module is installed outside the breeding pond. The water flow velocity detector transmits the detected data to the calculation module. The calculation module calculates the volume of water pumped out of the breeding pond through the following formula:
[0015]
[0016] Wherein, V is the volume of water pumped out of the breeding pond, d is the diameter of the connecting pipe used, and Q is the flow velocity of the water flow in the connecting pipe detected by the water flow velocity detector.
[0017] Further, an evaluation module and a control module are also installed outside the breeding pond. The evaluation module evaluates whether the specified pumping volume is reached through the result detected by the calculation module. When the pumping volume reaches the specified amount, a signal is sent to the control module, and the control module controls the pumping component to stop working. The evaluation module has one cycle for every three evaluations:
[0018] The first time is: when V≥V 总 ×0.5, the control module controls the pumping component to stop pumping water;
[0019] The second time is: when V≥V 总When it is ×0.4, the control module controls the water pumping component to stop pumping water;
[0020] The third time is: when V≥V 总 ×0.33, the control module controls the water pumping component to stop pumping water;
[0021] Among them, V 总 is the total amount of water contained in the breeding pond.
[0022] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed inside the breeding pond, and the temperature sensor transmits temperature data to the evaluation module. When the evaluation module evaluates that the temperature reaches a specified value, it sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the water pumping component to perform the second water pumping operation and the third water pumping operation.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] (1) Through the arranged isolation plate, the present invention can block the sand and horseshoe crabs, avoiding pumping a large amount of sand and horseshoe crabs out of the breeding pond during the water pumping process, effectively avoiding harm to the horseshoe crabs, and effectively ensuring the environment inside the breeding pond.
[0025] (2) Through the arranged sealing component, the present invention can separate the horseshoe crabs from the sand when the sand needs to be replaced, thus avoiding the horseshoe crabs being sucked into the water pumping equipment when the sand is pumped out, ensuring the safety of the horseshoe crabs in the breeding pond.
[0026] (3) Through the arranged isolation plate, baffle and through holes, under the action of the adjustment component, the present invention can lift the sand, and utilize the property that the density of the sand is different from that of the excrement and food residues, and clean the excrement and food residues by pumping water, avoiding the accumulation of excrement and food residues in the sand and affecting the environment inside the breeding pond.
[0027] (4) Through the arranged calculation module and evaluation module, the present invention can cooperate with the control module to automatically control the operation of the water pumping equipment, only pumping a part of the original water each time, and then adding new water sources, reducing the difference in the water environment, so as to ensure that the horseshoe crabs can adapt to the new environment in time when changing water.

[0042] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8, the ecological imitation breeding device of Tachypleus tridentatus, includes a breeding pond 1. An isolation component 2 is installed inside the breeding pond 1. The isolation component 2 separates sand and water during water replacement. A pumping component 3 is installed outside the breeding pond 1. Here, the pumping component 3 can use a water pump for pumping. The pumping component 3 is connected to the inside of the lower side of the breeding pond 1 through a connecting pipe 301. An electronic valve 302 is installed inside the connecting pipe 301. The electronic valve 302 is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 301. Open the electronic valve 302 before pumping and control the electronic valve 302 to close after pumping;
[0044] The isolation component 2 includes an isolation plate 201. The isolation plate 201 has a wavy structure and is in a filter mesh structure. The isolation plate 201 also includes a baffle 202 fixedly connected to one side of the isolation plate 201. The baffle 202 includes a vertical part and a horizontal part;
[0045] Quicksand grooves 203 are opened at the lowest points of the wavy baffle 202. The size of the quicksand grooves 203 is smaller than the size of Tachypleus tridentatus. A sealing component 4 is installed inside the quicksand grooves 203. The sealing component 4 is used to seal the quicksand grooves 203.
[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, when breeding Tachypleus tridentatus in the breeding pond 1, the sand required for breeding Tachypleus tridentatus is placed on the isolation plate 201 and spread out so that the thickness is 5 to 10 centimeters. When it is necessary to replace the water in the breeding pond 1 during the breeding process but not the sand, use the pumping component 3 to pump out the water in the breeding pond 1. At this time, the sand can be blocked at the upper end of the isolation plate 201 under the action of the isolation plate 201 and can be prevented from being pumped away by the pumping component 3 along with the water.
[0047] The isolation component 2 further includes an inclined plate 204. One end of the inclined plate 204 is fixedly connected to the isolation plate 201, and the other end of the inclined plate 204 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the baffle 202. The inclined plate 204 is disposed obliquely in the breeding pond 1, and the side of the inclined plate 204 close to the isolation plate 201 is lower. A contraction groove 206 is opened at one end of the quicksand groove 203. The sealing component 4 includes a sealing plate 401 slidably installed inside the contraction groove 206. A power-driven push rod 402 is fixedly installed at the end of the sealing plate 401 away from the quicksand groove 203. The power-driven push rod 402 is used to push the sealing plate 401 to move. The sealing plate 401 is in extrusion contact with the inner wall of the quicksand groove 203 through a rubber pad 403. An adjustment component 5 is installed on one side inside the breeding pond 1. The adjustment component 5 includes a driving motor 501 fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the breeding pond 1. The output end of the driving motor 501 is fixedly installed with a reciprocating threaded rod 502. The end of the reciprocating threaded rod 502 penetrates through the horizontal part of the baffle 202 and extends to its lower side. A guiding block 207 is rotatably installed at the contact part of the baffle 202 and the reciprocating threaded rod 502. The outer wall of the guiding block 207 is in extrusion contact with the inner wall of the thread groove on the reciprocating threaded rod 502.
[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to replace the sand in the aquaculture pond 1, the driving motor 501 is driven to drive the reciprocating threaded rod 502 to rotate. The guide block 207 is extruded by the reciprocating thread groove on the reciprocating threaded rod 502, so that the guide block 207 moves under the extrusion force of the extrusion groove. Since the partition plate 201 is slidably connected to the aquaculture pond 1, the partition plate 201 can only move up and down inside the aquaculture pond 1. And the baffle plate 202 is fixedly connected to the partition plate 201 through the inclined plate 204. Therefore, after the guide block 207 is extruded, it can drive the baffle plate 202, the inclined plate 204, and the partition plate 201 to rise or fall along the direction of the reciprocating thread groove. When the partition plate 201 rises to a certain height, the electric push rod 402 is used to drive the sealing plate 401 to move, so that the sealing plate 401 moves into the contraction groove 206. At this time, the quicksand groove 203 will be in an open state. Since the partition plate 201 has a wavy structure and the quicksand groove 203 is located at the lowest point of the wavy structure, after the quicksand groove 203 is opened, the sand can flow through the quicksand groove 203 to the lower side of the partition plate 201. And when the sand flows away, the horseshoe crab will stay at the upper end of the partition plate 201. Then, water is pumped through the water pump, so that the sand can be pumped out of the aquaculture pond 1 along with the water.
[0049] A plurality of water through holes 205 are opened in the upper part of the baffle plate 202. The size of the water through holes 205 is larger than the holes on the partition plate 201. A water flow speed detector 303 is installed inside the connecting pipe 301. The water flow speed detector 303 is used to detect the flow speed of the water flow in the connecting pipe 301. A calculation module 101 is installed outside the aquaculture pond 1. The water flow speed detector 303 transmits the detected data to the calculation module 101. The calculation module 101 calculates the volume of water pumped out of the aquaculture pond 1 through the following formula:
[0050]
[0051] Wherein, V is the volume of water pumped out of the aquaculture pond 1, d is the diameter of the used connecting pipe 301, and Q is the flow rate of the water flow in the connecting pipe 301 detected by the water flow speed detector 303;
[0052] An evaluation module 102 and a control module 103 are also installed outside the aquaculture pond 1. The evaluation module 102 evaluates whether the specified water pumping volume is reached through the result detected by the calculation module 101. When the water pumping volume reaches the specified amount, a signal is sent to the control module 103, and the control module 103 controls the water pumping component 3 to stop working. The evaluation module 102 takes every three evaluations as a cycle:
[0053] The first time is: when V≥V 总 ×0.5, the control module 103 controls the water pumping component 3 to stop pumping water;
[0054] The second time is: when V≥V总 When it is 0.4 times, the control module 103 controls the water pumping component 3 to stop pumping water;
[0055] The third time is: when V≥V 总 When it is 0.33 times, the control module 103 controls the water pumping component 3 to stop pumping water;
[0056] Among them, V 总 is the total amount of water contained in the breeding pond 1;
[0057] A temperature sensor 104 is installed inside the breeding pond 1. The temperature sensor 104 transmits temperature data to the evaluation module 102. When the evaluation module 102 evaluates that the temperature reaches the specified value, it sends a signal to the control module 103, and through the control module 103, it controls the water pumping component 3 to perform the second water pumping operation and the third water pumping operation.
[0058] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to change the water in the breeding pond 1, due to the harsh breeding conditions of the horseshoe crab, only about 80% of the original water can be changed each time. Therefore, 50% of the original water can be changed after the first water change, and then new seawater or modulated water with appropriate salinity of the same volume is added to the pool. The second time, 40% of the total amount of water in the breeding pond 1 is changed. Since the original water is mixed with the newly added water, when 40% of the water is pumped for the second time, only about 20% of the original water is contained in it. Similarly, after the third water pumping, only about 10% of the original water will be pumped out, thus completing the water change work. Changing the water in multiple times can retain more original water, enabling the horseshoe crab to gradually adapt to the surrounding water source environment and avoiding the situation of discomfort. Moreover, through the set temperature sensor 104, after adding new water, when the water temperature reaches 20 to 30 degrees Celsius suitable for the survival of the horseshoe crab, the second and third water changes can be carried out, avoiding excessive water change at the same time and large temperature difference of the water in the breeding pond 1, which may cause the horseshoe crab to be uncomfortable. Among them, before each water pumping and before changing the sand, when the water level is about to return to the specified temperature, the driving motor 501 can be controlled to drive the reciprocating threaded rod 502 to rotate, so that the partition plate 201 continuously shakes up and down. When the partition plate 201 shakes up and down, the food residues and feces mixed in the sand can break away from the sand and be mixed in the water, and the sand will quickly sink due to its large density. After the driving motor 501 stops working, water is pumped. At this time, the water flow can drive the floating food residues and feces to flow into the connecting pipe 301 through the water passing hole 205 and be pumped away with the water flow. In this way, the sand can be cleaned incidentally during each water change, enabling the sand to be used for a longer time. At the same time, the water environment can be made cleaner during the water change process. Among them, the inclined inclined plate 204 can prevent the sand from moving away from the side far from the water passing hole 205 when the sand is lifted up, avoiding the sand from flowing out of the water passing hole 205 to the outside of the baffle 202.
[0059] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes according to the technical solution of the present invention and its improved conceptions, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
