DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a shrimp water environment monitoring device, which can be used to monitor the aquaculture water quality of shrimp aquaculture ponds, includes a lifting mechanism, a support frame 2, a water quality monitor 3, and a control unit 6. The support frame 2 is mounted with a pressure sensor 11 and is in transmission connection with the lifting mechanism, which drives the support frame up and down. The water quality monitor 3 includes multiple monitoring probes 31, which are mounted on the support frame 2 and extend downward through the support frame 2. The control unit 6 is communicatively connected to the lifting mechanism, the pressure sensor 1, and the water quality monitor 3.
[0027] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a bracket 4 is mounted on the support frame 2. A plurality of monitoring probes 31 are distributed and mounted on the bracket 4.
[0028] The multiple monitoring probes 31 include a temperature monitoring probe, a pH monitoring probe, a dissolved oxygen monitoring probe, an ammonia nitrogen monitoring probe, a nitrite monitoring probe, a hardness monitoring probe, and a salinity probe. The temperature monitoring probe is used to monitor the temperature of the shrimp aquaculture water. The pH monitoring probe is used to monitor the pH value of the shrimp aquaculture water. The dissolved oxygen monitoring probe is used to monitor the oxygen concentration in the shrimp aquaculture water. The ammonia nitrogen monitoring probe is used to monitor the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the shrimp aquaculture water. The nitrite monitoring probe is used to monitor the nitrite concentration in the shrimp aquaculture water. The hardness monitoring probe is used to monitor the hardness concentration in the shrimp aquaculture water. The salinity probe is used to monitor the salinity of the shrimp aquaculture water.
[0029] The pressure sensor 1 monitors the depth of the aquaculture water and transmits the resulting data to the control unit in real time. The water depth in shrimp aquaculture ponds is generally around 3 meters. The lifting mechanism drives the support frame and water quality monitor into the aquaculture water. The sensor continues to descend, and the pressure sensor detects the depth of the descent. It is understood that the water depth can be set to 0.5m, 1.5m, 2m, or 2.5m, depending on the needs.
[0030] The lifting mechanism drives the support frame up and down, which in turn drives the water quality monitor and pressure sensor. When testing is required, the control unit controls the lifting mechanism to insert the water quality monitor and pressure sensor into the aquaculture water body and lower them to the set water depth. After testing the aquaculture water quality at that depth, the control unit controls the lifting mechanism to drive the water quality monitor and pressure sensor up until they are clear of the water surface.
[0031] In order to obtain the quality information of the shrimp farming water in a timely manner, a remote terminal 8 is additionally installed, and the remote terminal 8 is in communication connection with the control unit 6 .
[0032] The data information obtained by multiple monitoring probes is transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit then transmits the corresponding data information to the remote terminal. The breeding staff can promptly learn the quality of the monitored shrimp breeding water through the remote terminal.
[0033] One configuration of the remote terminal 8 is a remote computer terminal.
[0034] Furthermore, the remote terminal includes a smart mobile terminal. The smart mobile terminal can be a smartphone or a tablet computer. Smart phones or tablet computers are easy to carry and can easily and timely check the quality information of the monitored shrimp farming water body.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a structure of a control element is provided. Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the control unit 6 includes a control cabinet 61 , in which a controller 62 with a display screen is installed.
[0036] The controller 62 receives the data information transmitted by the water quality monitor 3 and displays it on the display screen. The display screen can be divided into a plurality of display units, each display unit corresponding to a monitoring probe, and displays the data information monitored by the monitoring probe.
[0037] To facilitate timely notification of any water quality exceeding the upper limit for shrimp farming water, an alarm 63 and an identification area 64 are installed. Multiple alarms 63 are mounted on the control cabinet 61, each with an identification area 64 and electrically connected to the controller 62. Each alarm 63 corresponds to a monitoring probe 31.
[0038] The identification area 64 is used to identify the name of the water quality indicator monitored by the monitoring probe corresponding to the alarm.
[0039] The alarm can be an audible and visual alarm, which can emit an alarm sound while the warning light flashes.
[0040] It should be noted that water quality indicators for shrimp farming typically meet the following criteria: temperature of 25°C to 30°C, pH of 7.5 to 8.5, dissolved oxygen concentration of 5 to 8 mg / L, ammonia nitrogen concentration of 0.5 to 1.0 mg / L, nitrite concentration no more than 0.1 mg / L, and hardness concentration below 120 to 200 mg / L. Salinity can range from 15 to 20. The controller sets upper and lower limits for each water quality indicator. The data collected by the monitoring probe is transmitted to the controller, which analyzes and processes the data and determines whether it falls below the lower limit or exceeds the upper limit. If the data falls below the lower limit or exceeds the upper limit, the corresponding alarm will sound. This alarm notifies farmers if the water quality for shrimp farming does not meet the set requirements. Farmers can refer to the water quality indicator displayed on the display screen by the name of the water quality indicator in the area below the alarm to determine the corresponding water quality indicator data, allowing them to take appropriate measures.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a power supply method is provided, which further includes a first solar cell panel 9 installed on the lifting mechanism.
[0042] The first solar cell panel serves as a power source to supply power to the plurality of monitoring probes 31, the lifting mechanism, and the pressure sensor 1. This avoids the need to pull wires from the shore to the lifting mechanism, the pressure sensor 1, and the water quality monitor.
[0043] The first solar panel mounting structure is provided, and a solar panel rack 10 is additionally installed. Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the solar panel rack 10 is installed on the lifting mechanism for supporting and installing the first solar cell panel 9 .
[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a structure of a lifting mechanism is provided. Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a support plate 16, a screw drive motor 15, and a support column 22. A screw 17 and a guide rod 19 are mounted in parallel and at intervals on the support plate 16. The screw 17 passes through the support plate 16 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 16. A threaded sleeve 18 is mounted on the screw 17, and a guide sleeve 20 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 19. The screw drive motor 15 is mounted on the support plate 16 and is in driving connection with the screw 17. The support column 22 is rotatably connected to the screw 17 via a bearing seat 21. One end of the support frame 2 is connected to the threaded sleeve 18, and the other end is connected to the guide sleeve 20.
[0045] It should be noted that the guide rod 19 and the support column 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the monitored aquaculture water body. When applied to a breeding pond, the guide rod 19 and the support column 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the breeding pond. The guide rod 19 is fixedly connected to the support plate 16.
[0046] Working method of lifting mechanism:
[0047] The screw drive motor 15 rotates the screw 17, which is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 18. The rotating screw 17 drives the threaded sleeve 18 to move along its height. The support frame is connected to the threaded sleeve 18 and the guide sleeve 20. The threaded sleeve 18 can move the support frame up and down. When descending, the screw 17 drives the threaded sleeve 18 downward, which drives the support frame 2 downward along the guide rod 19 via the guide sleeve 20. When ascending, the screw 17 drives the threaded sleeve 18 upward, which drives the support frame 2 upward along the guide rod 19 via the guide sleeve 20.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a connecting rod 23 is additionally installed, and the support column 22 is connected to the guide rod 19 through the connecting rod 23. The connecting rod 23 can play an auxiliary supporting role and enhance the bearing capacity of the guide rod.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a power supply method for the control unit is provided, wherein a second solar cell panel 5 and a support column 7 are additionally installed. The second solar cell panel 5 is installed on the support column 7 and is electrically connected to the control unit 6.
[0050] The second solar cell panel 5 serves as a power supply to supply power to the control components.
[0051] It should be noted that the pillar is installed on the bank of the shrimp breeding pond, and the control component can be installed on the pillar.
[0052] According to the above embodiment, the working mode of the utility model is:
[0053] The water depth to be tested is set to 1.5m. By inputting the set water depth of 1.5m into controller 62, controller 62 controls the operation of screw drive motor 15 based on this set value. Screw drive motor 15 drives screw 17 to rotate, which in turn drives threaded sleeve 18 downward. Threaded sleeve 18 then drives support frame 2 downward along guide rod 19 via guide sleeve 20. After being inserted into the aquaculture water body, pressure sensor 1 monitors the descending water depth. When the depth of the aquaculture water body reaches the set 1.5m, controller 62 temporarily stops the operation of screw drive motor 62, and threaded sleeve 18 and support frame 2 stop moving downward. Controller 62 controls the operation of multiple monitoring probes 31 of water quality monitor 3, and the water quality monitor's detection time can be set to 5 to 15 minutes. When the detection reaches the set time, the controller 62 controls the water quality monitor to stop the detection work, the screw drive motor 15 works, drives the screw 17 to rotate in the opposite direction, the screw 17 drives the threaded sleeve 18 to move upward, and the threaded sleeve 18 drives the support frame 2 and the pressure sensor and water quality monitor on the support frame 2 to rise and reset.
[0054] The data obtained by the multiple monitoring probes 31 is transmitted to the controller 62 on the control unit 6, which then displays the received data on the display screen. The aquaculture personnel can quickly obtain the aquaculture water quality information by viewing the display screen. This makes it possible to detect the water quality of aquaculture water at different depths.
[0055] The controller 62 is in communication connection with the remote terminal 8 , and the controller 62 transmits the monitored water quality index information to the remote terminal 8 , so that the aquaculture personnel can quickly obtain the quality information of the aquaculture water through the remote terminal 8 .

They are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can, without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present invention, make partial changes or modifications to the technical contents disclosed in the present invention and make equivalent embodiments without departing from the technical features of the present invention. These modifications still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present invention.
