Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sea cucumber seedling cultivation, in particular to an egg washing and water changing device for sea cucumber seedling cultivation. Background Art

[0002] Sea cucumbers are dioecious, but their sexes are difficult to distinguish visually. Therefore, it's difficult to accurately monitor the male-to-female ratio during spawning and ejaculation. Sex can only be determined by observing the characteristics of these events, and males must be removed from the pool promptly to prevent excess semen from affecting fertilization. However, even with prompt removal, excess semen in the pool water is inevitable.

[0003] To address this situation, "egg washing" is necessary to remove and dilute excess semen from the spawning pool. Traditional egg washing typically involves siphoning water from the spawning pool and then adding seawater to filter and dilute the excess semen. This involves siphoning the water through an egg washing cage and a siphon tube. Excess semen is filtered through the cage and then removed, and fresh water is added to complete the egg washing. Alternatively, siphoning and diluting the eggs can be performed while adding fresh seawater.

[0004] Because nets typically use 300-mesh silk screens, while semen can be filtered through the nets, the fertilized eggs can adhere to the nets due to the suction force of the siphon effect, causing them to be exposed and damaged. Traditionally, the only way to wash away the eggs is to use a long scoop to continuously splash pool water around the edges of the nets. This traditional egg-washing device and manual operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extremely damaging to the eggs. Utility Model Content

The siphon assembly is equipped with a backwash assembly for flushing away the fertilized eggs as the water level rises and falls.

[0024] In this embodiment: the rack assembly includes a frame 101, the frame 101 is 1.5-1.8 meters high, made of 204 stainless steel, and in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The frame 101 is covered with a screen mesh 102, the screen mesh 102 is 300 mesh, and a plurality of tie bands 103 are evenly distributed on the top of the screen mesh 102. The tie bands 103 and the screen mesh 102 are sewn together. The screen mesh 102 is placed upward from the bottom of the frame 101 and tied and fixed by the tie bands 103. Then the frame 101 is placed in the spawning pond water.

[0025] In this embodiment: the siphon assembly includes a fixing frame 201, a fixing circular groove 202 is provided below the fixing frame 201, a siphon tube 204 is installed in the fixing circular groove 202, and a hanging bracket 203 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing circular groove 202. The fixing frame 201, the fixing circular groove 202 and the hanging bracket 203 are welded together, and the fixing frame 201 is clamped in the middle of the frame frame 101. The hanging bracket 203 at the bottom of the fixing circular groove 202 allows the water pump 305 to penetrate into the spawning pool water, and one end of the siphon tube 204 is inserted into the fixing frame 201 in the fixing circular groove 202, and the other end is inserted into the drainage ditch. The excess semen filtered in the frame frame 101 is discharged out of the pool along with the pool water by the siphon effect;

[0026] In this embodiment, the recoil assembly includes a floating frame 301, two limiting rods 302 are symmetrically installed in the floating frame 301, a water balancing ring 303 is installed on the floating frame 301, the floating frame 301 and the water balancing ring 303 are both rectangular rings, and a number of nozzles 304 are evenly installed on the water balancing ring 303. A water pump 305 is provided below the floating frame 301, and a water hose 306 is installed between the water balancing ring 303 and the water pump 305. The water hose 306 is connected to the water balancing ring 303 and the water pump 305 clamp respectively. The limiting rod 301 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 304, and the water pump 305 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 304. 02 controls the position of the floating frame 301 floating on the water surface, and the water pump 305 extracts the pool water filtered by the sieve mesh 102 in the rack frame 101 and transports it to the water equalizing ring 303 through the water hose 306. The nozzle 304 flushes the sieve mesh 102 from the inside to the outside to prevent the fertilized eggs from being adsorbed on the surface of the sieve mesh 102. When the water level in the pool drops, the floating frame 301 floats and the water level drops, driving the water equalizing ring 303 to drop with the water level, and pulling the limit rod 302 to slide down under the support of the fixed frame 201.

[0027] Working principle: First, put the sieve mesh 102 upward from the bottom of the frame 101 and tie it with the tie 103, then put the frame 101 into the spawning pool water, and then clamp the fixing frame 201 in the middle of the frame 101, and make the water pump 305 penetrate into the spawning pool water through the hanging bracket 203 at the bottom of the fixed circular groove 202. At the same time, the position of the floating frame 301 floating on the water surface is controlled by the limit rod 302. Then, one end of the siphon 204 is inserted into the fixing frame 201 in the fixed circular groove 202, and the other end is inserted into the drainage ditch. The excess semen filtered in the rack frame 101 is discharged out of the pool along with the pool water by siphon action. At the same time, the water pump 305 draws the pool water filtered by the sieve mesh 102 in the rack frame 101 and transports it to the water equalizing ring 303 through the water hose 306. The sprinkler 304 flushes the sieve mesh 102 from the inside to the outside to prevent the fertilized eggs from being adsorbed on the surface of the sieve mesh 102. When the water level in the pool drops, the floating frame 301 floats with the water level, driving the water equalizing ring 303 to drop with the water level, and pulling the limit rod 302 to slide down under the support of the fixed frame 201.
