Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural equipment, and specifically relates to a remote monitoring water circulation mode for fish-vegetable symbiosis. Background Art

[0002] In agricultural production, aquaponics is an innovative agricultural technology that combines aquaculture and plant cultivation. By simulating natural ecosystems, it achieves a mutually beneficial symbiosis between fish, plants, and microorganisms, with the water cycle model being particularly important. While my country has made some progress in developing this water cycle model, it still faces some shortcomings and deficiencies, primarily in the following two aspects: 1) While the aquaponics model theoretically possesses favorable ecological cycle characteristics, its design, management, and maintenance still require advanced technical expertise in practice. Currently, the technology behind aquaponics models in China is still under development, and some models lack stability. Especially in large-scale applications, these models are prone to water quality fluctuations and nutrient imbalances, requiring more comprehensive technical support. 2) Although aquaponics models achieve water purification through natural water circulation, water quality management remains challenging in practice. Harmful substances and pathogens in the water can affect the health of fish and plants, requiring a more sophisticated management system for disease prevention and control. However, this issue has not been effectively addressed in some aquaponics projects in China, making the fish and plants vulnerable to disease, impacting yield and quality.

[0003] In summary, while my country's aquaponics water circulation model has considerable potential for development, it still lacks remote control and water quality management. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new water circulation model to address these issues and improve aquaculture and planting efficiency and refined management. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a remote monitoring water circulation mode for aquaponics of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, it includes a breeding pond 1, a planting pond 2 and a water reservoir 3 connected by pipes. The breeding pond 1 receives water from the water reservoir 3 through a pipe, and then transports it to the planting pond 2 through a pipe. At the same time, the planting pond 2 receives water from the breeding pond 1 and then transports it to the water reservoir 3. The water reservoir 3 receives water from the planting pond 2 and then transports it to the breeding pond 1. The water circulates between the three ponds. The water body detection device includes a water quality sensor 4, a flow meter 13 and a pressure gauge 14, and they are all connected to a remote monitoring device, wherein the water quality sensor 4 is used to monitor various parameters in the water body, the flow meter 13 and the pressure gauge 14 are used to monitor the flow and pressure in the pipeline, and then the collected data is transmitted to the remote monitoring device. The water quality sensor 4, the flow meter 13 and the pressure gauge 14 can adopt existing technology, which will not be described in detail here. The water body regulating pipeline 10 is used to adjust and intervene through remote monitoring equipment when the water body parameters are abnormal. The water circulation equipment includes a water pump with a filter 5, a water pump 6 and a siphon cover 9, which are used to circulate water between the three pools. The water pump with a filter 5, the water pump 6 and the siphon cover 9 can adopt existing technologies and are not described in detail here.

[0026] Specifically, aquaculture pond 1 is used for fish farming, while planting pond 2 is used for crop cultivation. Both ponds perform micro-regulation of the water, while reservoir 3 stores and regulates the water. Each pond has a drain outlet 11 at its bottom. When water parameters within the pond become difficult to regulate or when regular water replacement is required, water is replenished through the water inlet pipes within each pond.

[0027] Specifically, the planting pool 2 contains a large amount of matrix, which is mainly used for cultivating crops. It can also perform biochemical filtration and solid fertilizer filtration. A large number of nitrifying bacteria are attached to the matrix, which can decompose ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water and provide the nitrates needed by plants.

[0028] Specifically, a pressure gauge 14 is placed at the outlet of each tank to detect the outlet water pressure. A flow meter 13 is placed at the inlet and outlet pipes of the aquaculture pond 1 to detect the circulation flow rate of the water. A water quality sensor 4 is placed inside each tank to monitor water quality parameters such as pH, ammonia nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen.

[0029] Specifically, the water conditioning pipeline 10 includes an aeration system pipeline, a pH adjustment pipeline, a feed feeding pipeline, and a water inlet pipeline. Each of these pipelines is connected to corresponding equipment, all of which utilize existing technologies and are not described in detail here. When the remote monitoring device detects that the dissolved oxygen is too low, the aeration system pipeline is opened to adjust the dissolved oxygen; when the pH value exceeds a preset value, the pH adjustment pipeline is opened to adjust the pH; and feeding can be performed in the aquaculture pond 1 through the feed feeding pipeline.

[0030] Specifically, water pump 6 transfers water from reservoir 3 to aquaculture tank 1, strainer pump 5 transfers water from aquaculture tank 1 to planter tank 2, and siphon hood 9 draws water from planter tank 2 into reservoir 1. Solenoid valve 7 adjusts the opening range of each pipe. A remote monitoring device monitors the pressure gauge 14 and flow meter 13, then remotely controls the operation of pump 6, strainer pump 5, siphon hood 9, and solenoid valve 7 to maintain a relatively stable water flow rate.

[0031] Specifically, the remote monitoring device includes a power distribution cabinet 15 having a programmable logic controller 16 and a 4G gateway 17, wherein the programmable logic controller 16 and the 4G gateway 17 are connected to a power supply via a power module 18. An operation display screen can also be configured on the remote monitoring device according to actual needs. Each sensor signal output terminal is connected to the programmable logic controller 16 in the remote monitoring device via an RS485 line. The output terminal of the programmable logic controller 16 is electrically connected to the enable terminal of control circulation equipment such as the solenoid valve 7 and the water pump 6. The switching amplitude of the solenoid valve 7 and the start and stop of control circulation equipment such as the water pump 6 can be controlled according to the signals from each sensor. The 4G gateway 17 is connected to the programmable logic controller 16 via the Modbus protocol. The 4G gateway 17 communicates with the server via 4G signals to achieve remote monitoring of the mode.
