Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese horseshoe crab breeding, in particular to a Chinese horseshoe crab spawning collector. Background Art
[0002] The Chinese horseshoe crab, an arthropod that lives in shallow coastal waters, is widely used in the production of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LIAL) reagents because of the special clotting proteins in its blood. This reagent is used in medicine to detect bacterial endotoxins and is crucial for ensuring the safety of medical products. The presence of copper in Chinese horseshoe crab blood gives it a blue color, making it an irreplaceable resource for medical testing.
[0003] The aquaculture of Chinese horseshoe crabs not only helps protect wild populations from the threat of overfishing, but also provides a sustainable source of raw materials for the production of limulus test kits. As the global demand for limulus test kits increases, the aquaculture of Chinese horseshoe crabs is becoming increasingly important, with significant economic and scientific value for the development of the biopharmaceutical industry.
[0004] After the Chinese horseshoe crab finishes spawning, the horseshoe crab eggs need to be removed from the bottom of the breeding pond as soon as possible and collected out of the breeding pond for hatching. The horseshoe crab spawning collector in the existing technology is not convenient for quickly disassembling the collection tube when the horseshoe crab eggs inside the collection tube are full. The manual disassembly takes a long time, making it difficult to quickly and efficiently collect a large number of horseshoe crab eggs, thereby reducing the overall work efficiency and requiring improvement.

[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Example 1: Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a Chinese horseshoe crab spawning collector, comprising a collecting shovel 1, a connecting sleeve 2 and a collecting cylinder 3, an inner side of the collecting shovel 1 is provided with an entrance port 4, a lower surface of the collecting shovel 1 is symmetrically fixedly installed with a universal wheel 5, a surface of the collecting shovel 1 is fixedly installed with a push rod 6, a side of the collecting shovel 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 8, a surface of the collecting cylinder 3 is provided with a drainage groove 9, an interior of the collecting cylinder 3 is slidably connected with a collecting net 10, a surface of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 11, an internal sliding connection of the mounting plate 11 is connected with a limiting rod 12, a surface of the limiting rod 12 is fixedly installed with a limiting disk 13, a surface of the limiting rod 12 is sleeved with a spring A14, a surface of the push rod 6 is sleeved with an anti-slip sleeve 7, the material of the anti-slip sleeve 7 is natural rubber, the connecting sleeve 2 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 8, the connecting sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the collecting cylinder 3, the limiting rod 12 is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 2, one end of the spring A14 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting disk 13, and the other end of the spring A14 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 11.
[0024] In this embodiment, by pulling the limit rod 12 to make it slide out from the inside of the connecting sleeve 2, the spring A14 will be compressed at the same time. The design of the spring A14 is such that when the limit rod 12 is loosened, the limit rod 12 will automatically reset under the action of the spring A14, thereby fixing the connecting sleeve 2. At this time, the collecting tube 3 can be grasped and pulled to separate it from the connecting tube 8. When the horseshoe crab eggs inside the collecting tube 3 are full, the quick disassembly design allows the staff to quickly empty the collecting tube 3, reducing the waiting and manual disassembly time, so that more horseshoe crab eggs can be processed in a short time, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.
[0025] Example 2: Figures 1-4 As shown, a spring B15 is fixedly installed inside the collecting net 10, one end of the spring B15 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 16, a clamping groove 17 is opened through the surface of the collecting cylinder 3, the clamping block 16 is slidably connected to the collecting cylinder 3, and the clamping block 16 is slidably connected to the clamping groove 17.
[0026] In this embodiment, the collecting tube 3 is rotated to separate it from the connecting sleeve 2, and then the block 16 is pressed to shrink it inward. At the same time, the spring will also shrink. At this time, the collecting net 10 can be taken out from the inside of the collecting tube 3, so that the staff can disassemble and replace the collecting net 10, and further facilitate the replacement of suitable collecting nets 10 for horseshoe crab eggs of different species and different breeding periods, thereby increasing the versatility and adaptability of the collector.
[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the horseshoe crab eggs in the breeding pond are collected by the collecting shovel 1. Under the forward force of the collector, when the collecting shovel 1 approaches the horseshoe crab eggs, the horseshoe crab eggs enter the collecting cylinder 3 through the inlet 4. The collecting net 10 in the collecting cylinder 3 captures the eggs. The drainage groove 9 allows the water to be discharged. The universal wheel 5 and the push rod 6 make the device easy to operate. When the horseshoe crab eggs inside the collecting cylinder 3 are full, the limiting rod 12 is pulled to make it slide out from the inside of the connecting sleeve 2. At this time, the collecting cylinder 3 is grabbed and pulled to separate it from the connecting pipe 8, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly of the collecting cylinder 3. The design allows the staff to quickly empty the collection tube 3, reducing the waiting and manual disassembly time, so that more horseshoe crab eggs can be processed in a short time, improving the overall work efficiency. When the collection net 10 needs to be replaced, the collection tube 3 is separated from the connecting sleeve 2 by rotating the collection tube 3, and then the block 16 is pressed to retract it inward. At the same time, the spring will also retract, and the collection net 10 can be taken out from the inside of the collection tube 3, so that the staff can disassemble and replace the collection net 10, thereby facilitating the replacement of the appropriate collection net 10 for horseshoe crab eggs of different species and different breeding periods, thereby increasing the versatility and adaptability of the collector.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
