Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shellfish aquaculture technology, specifically to an automatic environmental regulation system for shellfish aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is the practice of humans using aquatic waters available for aquaculture (including planting) to raise aquatic economic animals and plants according to the ecological habits of the aquatic organisms and their requirements for aquatic environmental conditions. It is one of the agricultural production sectors. Data shows that China's per capita consumption of seafood has recently exceeded that of pork, which has a certain impact on the seafood market in China and even globally.

[0003] However, looking at the current state of aquaculture in my country, most aquaculture farmers still use traditional farming techniques, especially shellfish farming, which has a low degree of automation. The farming environment still needs to be intervened based on experience, such as manually changing the water and observing the water color and quality to decide whether to adjust the temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, and nutrient concentration in the farming pond. This results in a low degree of automation and affects the efficiency of aquaculture. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or existing automatic regulation systems for shellfish farming environment, the present invention is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic environmental regulation system for shellfish aquaculture. In operation, water from the source is first pumped to a filtration device for filtration, then transported to a nutrient tank. An automatic feeder then feeds algae from an algae culture tank into the nutrient tank. A mixer is then activated to mix the nutrient solution, which is then pumped to the aquaculture tank. When it is necessary to filter impurities from the aquaculture tank, a return water pump is activated to pump water through an impurity filtration device, filtering out impurities before returning it to the nutrient tank. Multiple sensors are installed in the aquaculture tank to detect temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, and nutrient concentration. When any parameter exceeds a preset threshold, the corresponding equipment is activated for adjustment, enabling the environment in the aquaculture tank to quickly restore stability and suitability.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic environmental control system for shellfish farming, comprising: It includes a breeding pond, a sensor module, a central control module, and an automatic adjustment module; the central control module includes a data storage and analysis module, a data transmission device, and a terminal server.

The central control module analyzes real-time data to determine whether the current aquaculture environment is suitable for shellfish growth. If an anomaly is detected, the system will control the automatic adjustment module to adjust the corresponding parameters according to preset thresholds. The automatic adjustment module includes an oxygenation device, a temperature control device, an automatic feeder, a filtration system, and a water purification device, used to increase dissolved oxygen in the water, regulate water temperature, add nutrients, or start water circulation to ensure the stability and suitability of water quality.

The automatic feeder first puts the feed into the nutrient tank, and the feed is mixed evenly by the mixer before flowing into the aquaculture tank. The aquaculture tank can also pump out wastewater through a return water pump, filter it through an impurity filtration device, and then circulate it back to the nutrient tank. The automatic feeder includes an algae cultivation tank, a base, an oxygenation pump, and a feeding pipe. The bottom of the algae cultivation tank is equipped with an aeration pipe and air stones for oxygenation. Each aeration pipe has an air inlet valve for adjusting the air output and switching on / off.

The aeration pipe is also connected to the bottom of the aquaculture pond and lies flat against the bottom. The part flat against the bottom has multiple water outlets, which can oxygenate the aquaculture pond while evenly agitating the water at the bottom, preventing particulate impurities from settling and facilitating wastewater discharge during water pumping. Furthermore, the system also includes a purification module, which comprises a biological purification tank, a protein separator, and a filter. The biological purification tank is connected to the aquaculture tank, and the filter is connected to the algae cultivation tank. Wastewater generated in the aquaculture tank is transported to the biological purification tank for purification.

Then, the protein separator removes proteins from the water, and the filter removes suspended solids. Finally, the nutrient-rich water containing dissolved shellfish excrement is returned to the algae cultivation tank.

Next, an automatic feeder delivers algae feed from an algae culture tank to the nutrient tank. A mixer is then activated to mix the nutrient solution, which is then pumped to the aquaculture tank. When it is necessary to filter impurities from the aquaculture tank, a return water pump is activated to pump water through an impurity filtration device, filtering out impurities before returning it to the nutrient tank. Multiple sensors are installed in the aquaculture tank to detect temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, and nutrient concentration.
