[0022] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0023] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0025] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a Artemia cultivation device includes a cultivation pool 1, a partition 5, a drain outlet and a driving mechanism 2, wherein the partition 5 is rotatably installed inside the cultivation pool 1, the drain outlet is arranged at the lower end of the cultivation pool 1, and the driving mechanism 2 is installed in the cultivation pool 1 and connected to the partition 5.
[0026] It is understandable that we know that the opening of the cultivation pool 1 is set upward, and Artemia has phototropism, so Artemia in the cultivation pool 1 will gather at the upper end of the cultivation pool 1. Of course, a lighting component can also be set at the upper end of the cultivation pool 1 to lure Artemia to breed. Before changing the water, we can unfold the partition 5 through the driving mechanism 2 to separate the Artemia breeding in the cultivation pool 1 from the pool bottom, and then we can discharge the excrement at the bottom of the pool along with the water flow through the drain port, so that Artemia can be isolated from the pool bottom, and when draining the water, it also avoids the phenomenon that some Artemia are discharged along with the excrement. After discharging the "sewage", adding water that meets the requirements can complete the water change operation.
[0027] Of course, after the water is changed, the partition 5 can be rotated and stored through the driving mechanism 2, so that the partition 5 is attached and stored inside the cultivation pool 1. It can be seen that the partition 5 can be rotated and stored when not in use, which will not occupy the growth space of the Artemia worms, nor will it interfere with the excrement of the Artemia worms falling to the bottom of the pool, thereby ensuring that the growth environment of the Artemia worms is clean and hygienic.
[0028] Furthermore, the partition 5 can not only separate the Artemia from excrement (or eggs), but also separate the Artemia from the shells. We know that the shells will be located at the upper end of the breeding pool 1 under the action of buoyancy. At this time, a lighting assembly can be provided at the lower end of the breeding pool 1, and the opening of the breeding pool 1 can be blocked with a blackout cloth. Then, the Artemia can be lured to the bottom of the breeding pool 1 through the lighting assembly. At this time, the Artemia and the shells can be separated by the partition 5, and finally, the Artemia can be discharged completely independently through the drain outlet.
[0029] Based on the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the separator 5 is preferably a pair, and both sides of the cultivation pool 1 are provided with a mounting groove 4, and the separator 5 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 4.
[0030] It should be known that if only one partition 5 is used, assuming that one end of the partition 5 is rotatably installed at one side of the breeding pool 1, then the other end of the partition 5 needs to be rotated to the other side of the breeding pool 1 to achieve the separation effect; this requires that the height of the breeding pool 1 is sufficient, otherwise the rotation of the partition 5 may affect the excrement at the bottom of the pool or the Artemia on the upper part of the pool.
[0031] When a pair of separators 5 is used, when the two separators 5 rotate to abut each other, the separation function can be achieved, that is, the movable space required for the separator 5 to rotate is half of the original space, so that the space in the cultivation pool 1 can be reasonably used. On the other hand, when the separator 5 is stored, the separator 5 can be rotated and stored in the installation groove 4, so that the separator 5 will not occupy the space in the cultivation pool 1 when not in use.
[0032] One of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the partition 5 can be rotatably installed in the cultivation tank 1 through the rotating shaft 6, and the driving mechanism 2 includes a moving component 201 and a transmission component 202. The moving component 201 is installed outside the cultivation tank 1, and the input end of the transmission component 202 is connected to the moving component 201, and the output end of the transmission component 202 is connected to the rotating shaft 6 of the partition 5. It can be understood that the moving component 201 can drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate and adjust through the transmission component 202, thereby realizing the rotation adjustment of the partition 5.
[0033] As a further description of the above technical solution: Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the transmission assembly 202 includes a pair of connecting rods 2021 and a pair of driving rods 2022. The driving rods 2022 are installed on the moving assembly 201. The first end of the connecting rod 2021 is installed on the rotating shaft 6. The second end of the connecting rod 2021 forms a sliding fit with the driving rod 2022. For example, a column is provided at the second end of the connecting rod 2021, and a sliding groove is provided on the outside of the driving rod 2022, and the column and the sliding groove form a sliding fit.
[0034] It can be understood that the moving component 201 can drive the driving rod 2022 to move in a straight line, and the driving rod 2022 acts on the connecting rod 2021, the second end of the connecting rod 2021 will slide along the driving rod 2022, and then the first end of the connecting rod 2021 will rotate, and the rotating connecting rod 2021 will drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, that is, drive the partition 5 to rotate and adjust.
[0035] The mobile component 201 has various structural forms, including but not limited to the following two:
[0036] Structure 1 (such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown): The moving component 201 includes a screw 2011 and a pair of sliders 2012, the driving rod 2022 is installed on the corresponding slider 2012, the screw 2011 is horizontally rotatably installed on the outside of the cultivation tank 1, and the screw 2011 has opposite thread directions from the middle to both sides (i.e. one section of left-handed thread and one section of right-handed thread), that is to say, the screw 2011 is a bidirectional screw at this time, and the slider 2012 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the outside of the cultivation tank 1 and cooperates with the screw 2011.
[0037] It is understandable that if Figure 5 As shown in (a), we assume that the two partitions 5 are in a state of abutting each other, thereby separating the culture pool 1. When the partition 5 needs to be stored, the screw rod 2011 is rotated forward, and the two sliders 2012 move away from each other under the action of the screw rod 2011, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (b), the two driving rods 2022 act on the connecting rod 2021, and the connecting rod 2021 acts on the rotating shaft 6 to drive the partition 5 to rotate, so that the partition 5 rotates relatively and is received in the installation groove 4.
[0038] Structure 2 (such as Figure 6 As shown), the moving component 201 includes a screw rod 2011 and a slider 2012, the driving rod 2022 is installed on both sides of the slider 2012, the screw rod 2011 is vertically rotatably installed on the outside of the cultivation pool 1, and the slider 2012 is vertically slidably installed on the outside of the cultivation pool 1 and cooperates with the screw rod 2011.
[0039] It is understandable that if Figure 6 As shown in (c), we assume that the two partitions 5 are also in a state of abutting each other, thereby separating the culture pool 1. When the partition 5 needs to be stored, the screw rod 2011 is rotated forward, and the slider 2012 moves downward under the action of the screw rod 2011, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in (d), the two driving rods 2022 act on the connecting rod 2021, and the connecting rod 2021 acts on the rotating shaft 6 to drive the partition 5 to rotate, so that the partition 5 rotates relatively and is received in the installation groove 4.
[0040] It should be noted that both structural methods can drive the two partitions 5 to be unfolded and retracted synchronously, and the partitions 5 can also be limited and locked by the engagement of the threads after adjustment, that is, both can meet the actual situation, and technicians in this field can choose to use them according to the actual situation.
[0041] One of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the bottom end of the cultivation pool 1 is of a conical structure, and the drain outlet is arranged in the middle of the bottom end of the cultivation pool 1 and is provided with a valve 3. When the valve 3 is opened, the liquid at the bottom of the cultivation pool 1 can be quickly and smoothly discharged with the help of gravity, which can also play a certain anti-blocking role, and can also enable the discharged liquid or excrement to be collected and processed in a centralized manner.
[0042] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the separator 5 includes a frame 501 and a net 502 . The frame 501 is rotatably installed inside the cultivation pool 1 via a rotating shaft 6 , and the net 502 is installed inside the frame 501 .
[0043] It is understandable that the frame 501 can be made of high-strength material to ensure its stability and durability in the water environment and during the rotation process. The main structure for separation is the net body 502. Since the design of the net body 502 reduces the weight of the separator 5, the separator 5 will be lighter and more flexible when rotating. In addition, the design of the net body 502 can also allow water to flow more smoothly, which is convenient for the water replacement process. Of course, the net body 502 is also easy to replace when damaged.
[0044] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the specification only describe the principles of the present application. The present application may have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present application for which protection is sought. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
