Technical Field
[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and specifically relates to a sea cucumber breeding box for aquaculture. Background Art
[0002] With the progress of technology, the sea cucumber breeding technology has been continuously improved and enhanced. Breeders increasingly focus on optimizing the breeding environment, controlling water quality, and scientifically feeding the feed to improve the growth rate and quality of sea cucumbers.
[0003] Currently, the sea cucumber breeding method mostly adopts planar breeding, with low space utilization rate, resulting in limited breeding density and difficult to improve breeding efficiency. Sea cucumbers have high requirements for water quality, and water quality management in the current breeding method is relatively difficult. With the increase in breeding density and the growth and metabolism of sea cucumbers, the water quality is prone to deterioration, affecting the growth rate and quality of sea cucumbers. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the present utility model provides a sea cucumber breeding box for aquaculture.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0006] A sea cucumber breeding box for aquaculture includes two breeding boxes, namely a lower breeding box and an upper breeding box. The upper breeding box is fixedly connected to the top of the lower breeding box, and there is a gap between the lower breeding box and the upper breeding box. The inner wall of the breeding box is fixedly connected with a partition board, and the partition board is in a cross shape. The partition board divides the internal space of the breeding box into four breeding areas. In the middle of the inner wall of each breeding area, a filter screen is fixedly connected. On the left and right side walls of the lower breeding box, two lower drain pipes are fixedly communicated respectively. The four lower drain pipes are respectively communicated with the four breeding areas of the lower breeding box and are located below the filter screen. On the left and right side walls of the upper breeding box, two upper drain pipes are fixedly communicated respectively. The four upper drain pipes are respectively communicated with the four breeding areas of the upper breeding box and are located below the filter screen. The upper drain pipes extend downward to be flush with the lower drain pipes. There is a feeding mechanism at the rear of the breeding box. The feeding mechanism has four upper branch pipes and four lower branch pipes. The four upper branch pipes are respectively located above the four breeding areas of the upper breeding box, and the four lower branch pipes are respectively located above the four breeding areas of the lower breeding box. Valves are installed at the ends of the lower drain pipes, upper drain pipes, upper branch pipes, and lower branch pipes.
[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a support frame. The support frame is located at the rear of the lower breeding box. A pump is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame. The input end of the pump is fixedly communicated with a hopper, and the hopper is fixedly connected with the support frame. The output end of the pump is fixedly communicated with an upper feeding pipe. The upper feeding pipe extends to the middle above the upper breeding box. The four upper branch pipes are all fixedly communicated with the upper feeding pipe. At the bottom of the rear end of the upper feeding pipe, a lower feeding pipe is fixedly communicated. The lower feeding pipe extends to the middle above the lower breeding box. The four lower branch pipes are all fixedly communicated with the lower feeding pipe.
[0008] Advantages of the present utility model:
[0009] The present utility model adopts the design of upper and lower two-layer breeding boxes, which makes full use of the space, increases the breeding density, and thus improves the breeding efficiency. Through the independent drainage system and filter screen design, the sewage and impurities in the breeding boxes can be conveniently discharged to keep the water quality clean and provide a good growth environment for sea cucumbers. Through the design of the feeding mechanism, accurate feeding of different breeding areas in the two breeding boxes can be realized to ensure that sea cucumbers obtain balanced nutritional supplements. By controlling each valve, the water quality and feed supply of different breeding areas can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of sea cucumbers at different growth stages and improve the flexibility and controllability of breeding.

Specific implementation manners
[0014] Such as Figures 1 - 3As shown: A sea cucumber breeding box for aquaculture, including two breeding boxes, namely the lower breeding box 1 and the upper breeding box 2. The upper breeding box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower breeding box 1. There is a gap between the lower breeding box 1 and the upper breeding box 2. The inner wall of the breeding box is fixedly connected with a partition 3. The partition 3 is in a cross shape, and the partition 3 divides the internal space of the breeding box into four breeding areas. In the middle of the inner wall of each breeding area, a filter screen 4 is fixedly connected. On the left and right side walls of the lower breeding box 1, two lower drain pipes 5 are fixedly communicated respectively. The four lower drain pipes 5 are respectively communicated with the four breeding areas of the lower breeding box 1 and are located below the filter screen 4. On the left and right side walls of the upper breeding box 2, two upper drain pipes 6 are fixedly communicated respectively. The four upper drain pipes 6 are respectively communicated with the four breeding areas of the upper breeding box 2 and are located below the filter screen 4. The upper drain pipes 6 extend downward to be flush with the lower drain pipes 5. There is a feeding mechanism at the rear of the breeding box. The feeding mechanism has four upper branch pipes 12 and four lower branch pipes 13. The four upper branch pipes 12 are respectively located above the four breeding areas of the upper breeding box 2, and the four lower branch pipes 13 are respectively located above the four breeding areas of the lower breeding box 1. Valves are installed at the ends of the lower drain pipes 5, upper drain pipes 6, upper branch pipes 12 and lower branch pipes 13.
[0015] The feeding mechanism includes a support frame 7. The support frame 7 is located at the rear of the lower breeding box 1. A pump 8 is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame 7. The input end of the pump 8 is fixedly communicated with a hopper 9. The hopper 9 is fixedly connected with the support frame 7. The output end of the pump 8 is fixedly communicated with an upper feeding pipe 10. The upper feeding pipe 10 extends to the middle above the upper breeding box 2. The four upper branch pipes 12 are all fixedly communicated with the upper feeding pipe 10. At the bottom of the rear end of the upper feeding pipe 10, a lower feeding pipe 11 is fixedly communicated. The lower feeding pipe 11 extends to the middle above the lower breeding box 1. The four lower branch pipes 13 are all fixedly communicated with the lower feeding pipe 11.
[0016] Sea cucumbers are placed in the four breeding areas separated by the partition 3. Each area is relatively independent, which is convenient for separately managing and observing the growth of sea cucumbers.
[0017] As the sea cucumbers grow and metabolize, the water quality in the breeding box will gradually deteriorate. At this time, by opening the valves on the lower drain pipes 5 and upper drain pipes 6, the sewage at the bottom of each breeding area in the lower breeding box 1 and the upper breeding box 2 can be discharged respectively. This sewage mainly contains the feces of sea cucumbers and other impurities. They will pass through the filter screen 4 and fall to the bottom of the breeding box, and then be discharged by the drain pipes. Due to the design of the filter screen 4, the sea cucumbers can be retained in the breeding area and will not be discharged together with the sewage.
[0018] When it is necessary to feed the sea cucumbers, pour the feed into the hopper 9, start the pump 8. The pump 8 sucks the feed through the hopper 9 and transports it through the upper feed pipe 10 to the middle part above the upper breeding tank 2. Subsequently, the feed is evenly distributed to each breeding area of the upper breeding tank 2 through the four upper branch pipes 12. At the same time, part of the feed will be transported to each breeding area of the lower breeding tank 1 through the lower feed pipe 11 and the four lower branch pipes 13, ensuring that the sea cucumbers in both breeding tanks can obtain sufficient nutritional supplements.
[0019] By controlling the valves on each drain pipe and branch pipe, the water quality and feed supply in different breeding areas can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of sea cucumbers at different growth stages. This design helps to optimize the breeding environment and improve the growth rate and quality of sea cucumbers.
