Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a fish-vegetable symbiosis system and its symbiosis method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in aquaculture, especially in large-scale fish ponds, fish generate a large amount of organic waste such as feces and leftover feed during their growth. This waste gradually decomposes in the water, releasing nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to eutrophication, affecting aquatic quality, and potentially causing algal blooms and disrupting the ecological balance. To prevent water quality deterioration, traditional aquaculture methods typically require regular water changes to maintain suitable conditions for fish growth. However, if the wastewater pumped out during water changes is directly discharged into the natural environment, it may pollute surrounding waters. Therefore, effective treatment of this wastewater is necessary to meet environmental discharge standards. On the other hand, if the nitrogen and phosphorus in this wastewater are not properly utilized, it will not only increase wastewater treatment costs but also waste valuable resources. To address these technical problems, we propose an aquaponics system and its symbiotic method to solve these issues. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Given the existing technical problem that when water is pumped out and replaced, it needs to be treated before it can be discharged, but if the substances contained in the water cannot be utilized, it will cause a waste of resources, this invention proposes an aquaponics system and its symbiotic method.
[0004] This invention proposes an aquaponics system, comprising a fish pond, a support plate rotatably connected inside the fish pond, a conical cover fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the support plate, a conveying pipe fixedly installed at the rear end of the conical cover, a connecting assembly installed on the top of the support plate, the top of the connecting assembly extending above the fish pond, a U-shaped pipe connected to the connecting assembly, a filter assembly installed on the right side of the fish pond, the right end of the U-shaped pipe connected to the filter assembly, and a drive assembly installed on the fish pond, the drive assembly being connected to both the connecting assembly and the filter assembly.
[0005] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting box, an installation pipe, and a water pump. The connecting box is fixedly installed at the top center of the support plate. The water pump is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the connecting box. The suction end of the water pump extends to the rear side of the connecting box and is fixedly connected to the delivery pipe. The installation pipe is fixedly installed at the top center of the connecting box. The outlet end of the water pump extends into the installation pipe and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation pipe. The top end of the installation pipe extends above the fish pond. The left end of the U-shaped pipe extends into the installation pipe and is rotatably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the installation pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, by starting the water pump, the settled fish feces are sucked out from inside the conical hood, and then transported through the installation pipe into the U-shaped pipe, which makes it easy to transport the fish feces into the filter assembly for filtration.
[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive bevel gear, a connecting bevel gear, a drive shaft, and a worm gear component. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the fish pond. The drive bevel gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the fish pond. The connecting bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft. The drive bevel gear meshes with the connecting bevel gear. The right end of the drive shaft is connected to the filter assembly. The worm gear component is connected to both the drive shaft and the mounting tube.
[0008] Furthermore, by starting the drive motor to rotate the transmission shaft, the installation tube can be rotated through the transmission of the worm gear component. At this time, by adjusting the position of the conical cover, all the settled fish feces can be easily extracted.
[0009] Preferably, the worm gear component includes a worm and a worm wheel, the worm being fixedly sleeved on the fish pond, the worm wheel being fixedly sleeved on the mounting pipe, and the worm and the worm wheel meshing with each other.
[0010] Furthermore, as the worm rotates with the drive shaft, the mounting tube can be driven to rotate through the meshing transmission of the worm wheel.
[0011] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a separation box, a separation tube, a bend, a moving tube, a pressure component, and a bevel gear component. The separation box is fixedly installed on the right side of the fish pond. The separation tube penetrates the top inner wall of the separation box and is rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the separation box. The top end of the separation tube is rotatably connected to the right end of the U-shaped tube. The bend penetrates the right top inner wall of the separation box and is fixedly connected to the right top inner wall of the separation box. The top end of the moving tube extends into the bend and is slidably sealed to the inner wall of the bend. The bottom end of the moving tube extends into the separation box and is connected to the pressure component. The pressure component is installed inside the separation box. A door hole is opened on the bottom inner wall of the front side of the separation box. A door panel is hinged and sealed inside the door hole. A filter element is fixedly installed inside the moving tube. The bevel gear component is connected to the right end of the drive shaft and the separation tube respectively. Multiple separation holes are evenly spaced on the front and rear inner walls of the separation tube.
[0012] Furthermore, after the fish feces are transported into the separation tank, the sedimentation principle allows the extracted water to be discharged through the moving pipe and the bend pipe, while the fish feces remain in the separation tank, achieving solid-liquid separation.
[0013] Preferably, the pressure component includes an electric push rod, a pressure plate, and a movable ring. The electric push rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top left side of the separation box. The movable ring is sleeved on the separation tube. The pressure plate is fixedly sleeved on the movable ring. The output shaft of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate. The movable tube passes through the pressure plate and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. The pressure plate is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the separation box.
[0014] Furthermore, by activating the electric push rod, the pressure plate is moved downwards. The downward pressure of the pressure plate can squeeze the fish feces, thereby greatly reducing the water content in the fish feces.
[0015] Preferably, the bevel gear component includes a drive bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. The drive bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the right end of the drive shaft, and the driven bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the separator tube. The drive bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh with each other.
[0016] Furthermore, the meshing of the drive bevel gear and the driven bevel gear can drive the separation tube to rotate, which can centrifuge the transported fish feces and prevent the fish feces from clogging the separation tube.
[0017] This invention proposes a symbiotic method for an aquaponics system, comprising the following steps: S1. Regularly feed the fish ponds to raise fish; S2. By starting the drive motor, the conical cover is driven to move in a circular motion. At the same time, the water pump is started to pump the fish feces into the separation box. S3. Water from the fish feces entering the separation box can be discharged through a combination of a moving pipe and a curved pipe; S4. Start the electric push rod to move the pressure plate downward, which can filter the fish feces, squeeze out the water contained in the fish feces, and keep the fish feces dry. S5. Water discharged through the bend can be transported into the vegetable planting pond to irrigate the vegetables.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: In this invention, when it is necessary to clean the fish feces that have settled at the bottom of the fishpond, the drive motor can be started to drive the drive shaft to rotate through the meshing of the active bevel gear and the connecting bevel gear. Through the meshing of the worm and the worm wheel, the installation pipe can be rotated. At this time, the support plate can be rotated through the connecting box, so that the conical cover can make a circular motion in the fishpond, which can shovel the fish feces into the conical cover. Then, the water pump can be started to generate suction, which can pump the fish feces that have entered the conical cover into the installation pipe. After that, the water containing fish feces can be pumped into the separation pipe through the U-shaped pipe. Through the conveying of the separation pipe, the fish feces can be pumped into the separation box. When the drive shaft rotates, the separation pipe can be rotated through the meshing of the drive bevel gear and the driven bevel gear, which can quickly discharge the fish feces that have entered the separation box from the separation pipe, which can avoid blockage in the separation pipe. At this time, the water that has entered the separation box can be discharged through the moving pipe and the bend pipe. In this invention, after all the fish excrement is pumped into the separation box, the electric push rod can be activated to move the pressure plate downwards. As the pressure plate moves downwards, it can press the fish excrement, squeezing out the water contained in the fish excrement. The squeezed water can then be discharged through the moving pipe and the curved pipe. The separated water can be transported to the vegetable planting pond through the conveying pipe. The water containing macromolecular substances can be used to irrigate the vegetables. At this time, the vegetables can absorb the macromolecular substances in the water, thus achieving the filtration of macromolecular substances in the water and realizing the water filtration treatment.
[0019] This invention has a reasonable structure and can extract and filter fish waste produced in fish ponds. The filtered water can be used to water vegetables, which absorb the large molecules in the water. This allows for both water treatment and resource utilization of fish waste, thus demonstrating good economic sustainability. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In this embodiment, the pressure component includes an electric push rod 20, a pressure plate 21, and a moving ring 19.
