Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic breeding, in particular to an aquatic breeding system based on a heliostat. Background Art

[0002] Due to the opacity of algae, external light sources can only effectively promote the photosynthesis of algae on the surface, while deep algae have difficulty obtaining sufficient light. In order to solve the problem of uneven lighting, a large number of LED lamp beads are usually installed in the culture pool to provide lighting. This practice will result in high energy consumption, because the number of lamp beads that need to be installed is huge, and the power of each lamp bead is accumulated to form a fairly high total power. However, LED lamp beads generate heat when working, which requires additional equipment and energy to cool down, further increasing energy consumption. Due to high energy consumption and heat dissipation requirements, this lighting system does not meet the current environmental protection requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] In summary, in order to solve the problem of uneven lighting in aquatic aquaculture, the present application utilizes sunlight, which is a renewable energy source, in aquatic aquaculture, which can increase sufficient lighting while reducing energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-2 The aquatic breeding system based on heliostat includes a breeding box 10 and at least one heliostat 20, wherein at least one side of the breeding box 10 is provided with a glass side panel 11 corresponding to the heliostat 20; the breeding box 10 also includes a focusing lens array 30, which is located between the glass side panel 11 and the heliostat 20; and the breeding box 10 is vertically provided with a light-transmitting glass array 40 composed of a plurality of light-transmitting glasses arranged at intervals.

[0027] At least one heliostat 20 is used to collect and reflect sunlight to ensure that the aquaculture box 10 can receive sunlight. A glass side panel 11 is provided on at least one side of the aquaculture box 10 to provide an observation window or allow light to enter. The focusing lens array 30 located between the glass side panel 11 and the heliostat 20 is used to receive the sunlight reflected from the heliostat 20 and focus it and evenly diffuse it into the aquaculture box. The light-transmitting glass array 40 composed of vertically arranged light-transmitting glasses at intervals inside the aquaculture box 10 helps to further evenly distribute the focused light and may increase the light transmittance of the water body, allowing the light to penetrate the water body more deeply.

[0028] The system collects natural sunlight through the heliostat 20 and reflects it to the focusing lens array 30. The sunlight received by the focusing lens array 30 is focused and diffused to form a uniformly distributed lighting effect, thereby illuminating the interior of the breeding box 10. The provision of the light-transmitting glass array 40 not only increases the penetration depth of light, ensuring that areas of different depths in the water body can obtain sufficient light, but also, through its spaced arrangement characteristics, may also help to form multiple reflections and scattering of light, further improving the uniformity and efficiency of lighting. Overall, this design optimizes lighting conditions, promotes photosynthesis and growth of aquatic organisms, while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact, achieving the goal of efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly aquaculture.

[0029] Furthermore, the focusing lens array 30 is composed of a plurality of linear Fresnel lenses arranged in parallel.

[0030] Linear Fresnel lenses are used in this system because of their simple structure, low cost and good focusing effect. They improve the efficiency of light utilization by focusing sunlight. These linear Fresnel lenses are arranged in parallel to ensure that the entire focusing lens array 30 can cover a wider area, thereby more evenly irradiating sunlight to various areas in the breeding box 10. The focusing characteristics of linear Fresnel lenses enable them to concentrate light to a specific point or area, and then through the scattering and reflection of the light-transmitting glass array 40, achieve uniform distribution of light in the water body.

[0031] In the aquaculture system based on heliostats, the focusing lens array 30 is composed of a plurality of linear Fresnel lenses, which, with their unique linear structure, can effectively focus the sunlight reflected by the heliostat 20 and form parallel light beams. When these parallel light beams pass through the linear Fresnel lenses arranged in parallel, they are further focused and evenly diffused into the water body in the aquaculture box 10. The light-transmitting glass array 40 further optimizes the distribution of light, ensuring that areas at all depths in the water body can obtain uniform and sufficient light. This design not only improves the lighting efficiency and promotes the photosynthesis of aquatic organisms, but also reduces the dependence on artificial light sources by utilizing natural light sources, reduces energy consumption, and achieves energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0032] exist Figure 4 , 5 In the embodiment, one side of each light-transmitting glass close to the glass side plate 11 corresponds to each linear Fresnel lens.

[0033] Each transparent glass in the transparent glass array 40 corresponds to one side of the glass side panel 11, ensuring that each beam of light focused by the linear Fresnel lens can directly irradiate the transparent glass. The focusing point of each linear Fresnel lens precisely corresponds to the position of the transparent glass, which ensures that the light can directly penetrate the glass side panel after being focused by the lens and then irradiate into the water body. Through this correspondence, the propagation path of the light from the lens to the water body can be optimized, the loss of light before reaching the algae can be reduced, and the lighting efficiency can be improved.

[0034] In this system, each linear Fresnel lens precisely corresponds to the light-transmitting glass on one side of the glass side panel 11 of the aquaculture box 10. When sunlight is reflected by the heliostat 20 and focused on the linear Fresnel lens, the lens focuses the light into a narrow beam, and these focused light rays are directly directed to the corresponding light-transmitting glass. The arrangement of the light-transmitting glass array 40 not only allows these focused light rays to penetrate and penetrate deep into the water body, but also optimizes the propagation path of the light through its structure, ensuring that the light can be evenly and efficiently irradiated to various areas in the water body, including deep areas.

[0035] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, one side of the light-transmitting glass close to the glass side panel 11 is flush with it.

[0036] When each piece of light-transmitting glass in the light-transmitting glass array 40 is close to one side of the glass side panel 11, it is kept on the same plane as the glass side panel, forming a close corresponding relationship. This flush corresponding design means that there is no obvious gap between the light-transmitting glass and the glass side panel, thereby reducing the loss of light during the propagation process and improving the transmission efficiency of light. The flush design also helps to enhance the structural stability of the entire breeding box, because the close fit between the light-transmitting glass and the glass side panel reduces the impact of water pressure on the structure.

[0037] Each piece of the transparent glass array 40 is flush with the glass side panel 11 when it is close to one side, forming a seamless light transmission interface. This design allows sunlight focused by the linear Fresnel lens to directly and efficiently enter the water body through the transparent glass. Since there is no gap between the transparent glass and the glass side panel, there is almost no loss of light in the process of propagation from the lens to the water body, ensuring the intensity and uniformity of the illumination. At the same time, this flush corresponding structure also enhances the sealing and stability of the breeding box, enabling it to better withstand the influence of water pressure and other external environmental factors.

[0038] Furthermore, the light-transmitting glass and the glass side panels 11 are both ultra-clear glass.

[0039] Ultra-clear glass is used as the material for both the light-transmitting glass array 40 and the glass side panel 11. Ultra-clear glass has extremely high transparency and extremely low iron content, which makes it excellent in light transmittance and almost no color deviation. The use of ultra-clear glass can minimize the scattering and absorption of light when passing through the glass, thereby ensuring that purer and more concentrated light enters the breeding box 10. The high transparency of ultra-clear glass also provides better visual effects for observing aquatic organisms in the breeding box, making the observation clearer.

[0040] In the aquatic breeding system based on heliostats, the use of ultra-white glass as the material of the light-transmitting glass array 40 and the glass side panel 11 can significantly improve the lighting quality and observation effect of the entire system. The high light transmittance of ultra-white glass ensures that the sunlight reflected by the heliostat 20 and focused by the linear Fresnel lens can penetrate the glass with minimal loss, evenly irradiate the algae in the water body, and promote its photosynthesis. At the same time, the purity of ultra-white glass also reduces the color deviation of light, providing aquatic organisms with a growth environment closer to natural light. In addition, the high transparency of the glass side panel 11 and the light-transmitting glass array 40 also allows the aquatic ecology inside the breeding box to be clearly observed, which is convenient for monitoring and management.

[0041] Furthermore, the two light-transmitting surfaces of the light-transmitting glass are designed to be light-transmitting and frosted.

[0042] Both surfaces of each piece of light-transmitting glass in the light-transmitting glass array 40 are frosted. This design changes the reflection and refraction characteristics of light by forming a slight roughness on the smooth glass surface. The light-transmitting frosted design makes the light not penetrate directly when passing through the light-transmitting glass, but scatters on the glass surface, thereby evenly scattering the light in all directions inside the breeding box 10. The frosting treatment reduces the direct reflection and straight-line penetration of light on the glass surface, and reduces the problem of local overbrightness or uneven illumination that may be caused by concentrated light.

[0043] When light hits the frosted surface of the translucent glass, it is evenly dispersed in all directions, forming a wide illumination area, thus achieving more uniform lighting conditions throughout the aquaculture tank. This scattering effect not only improves the uniformity of lighting, but also helps simulate the lighting conditions in a natural light environment, promoting photosynthesis and healthy growth of aquatic organisms.

[0044] Figure 6 In the embodiment, the light-transmitting glass has a reflective film 41 on the remaining three sides except the side close to the glass side plate 11 .

[0045] On the three sides of the light-transmitting glass array 40, except for the side adjacent to the glass side panel 11, a reflective film 41 is coated or attached. The function of the reflective film 41 is to reflect the light escaping from the light-transmitting glass surface, reduce the escape of light, and thus improve the utilization rate of light inside the breeding box 10. Through the function of the reflective film, the number of reflections of light in the breeding box increases, which helps to improve the distribution of light and ensure that each area in the breeding box can obtain more uniform light.

[0046] Except for one side of the light-transmitting glass close to the glass side panel 11, the other three sides are covered with reflective films 41. The main function of these reflective films is to capture the light that attempts to escape from the side of the light-transmitting glass and reflect them back into the aquaculture box 10. Since the light-transmitting frosted design of the light-transmitting glass has achieved uniform divergence of light, the reflective film further ensures that these lights are reflected multiple times in the water body, increasing the uniformity and intensity of light. This design effectively reduces the loss of light and improves the lighting efficiency of the entire aquaculture box.

[0047] See also Figure 6 The outer wall of the light-transmitting glass is arranged with LED lamp beads 42.

[0048] LED lamp beads 42 are arranged on the outer wall of the light-transmitting glass array 40. These lamp beads provide auxiliary light sources at night or when the light is insufficient, and can provide the required light for the aquatic organisms in the breeding box 10 at night or during the period of insufficient sunlight. The LED lamp beads 42 can be selected according to the preference of aquatic organisms for different spectrums, and provide specific wavelengths of light to optimize their growth conditions. Therefore, by arranging LED lamp beads 42 on the outer wall of the light-transmitting glass, the system can effectively provide a stable lighting environment in the absence of sunlight to support the normal growth and development of aquatic organisms.

[0049] Reference Figure 1-2 , also includes a heat preservation house 50, which is located outside the breeding box 10, and the focusing lens array 30 is arranged on the side of the heat preservation house 50.

[0050] The heat preservation house 50 is arranged outside the breeding box 10, and its main function is to provide heat preservation for the entire breeding system and ensure the stability of the environment in the breeding box. The focusing lens array 30 is installed on the side of the heat preservation house 50. Such a layout can protect the focusing lens array from direct influence of the external environment, such as rain, wind and sand, etc. The existence of the heat preservation house 50 helps to maintain the light and temperature conditions in the breeding box 10, providing a more stable and suitable growth environment for aquatic organisms.

[0051] In this system, the insulation house 50 is designed as an outer structure to surround the breeding box 10 to maintain the stability of the internal environment. The material and structure of the insulation house can effectively isolate the influence of external temperature changes and bad weather, and provide a warm and constant growth environment for aquatic organisms in the breeding box. The focusing lens array 30 is set on the side of the insulation house, which can not only focus and diffuse sunlight to improve the lighting efficiency, but also cooperate with the LED lamp beads 42 to provide auxiliary light sources at night or when the light is insufficient, to ensure that the lighting needs in the breeding box are met.

[0052] In order to meet the lighting requirements of large-scale breeding boxes, the area or number of heliostats 20 can be increased to collect more sunlight and reflect it into the breeding boxes. For horizontally arranged breeding boxes, the propagation direction of light can be adjusted by setting secondary reflectors. The heliostat 20 first reflects sunlight onto the secondary reflector, and then the secondary reflector reflects the light from top to bottom into the breeding box to ensure that each layer of the breeding box can get enough light. The multi-layer breeding box structure can better control and maintain the internal temperature because the multi-layer structure helps to keep warm, and can cooperate with the insulation house 50 to further stabilize the breeding environment.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
