Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crayfish farming technology, specifically, it relates to a multi-layer crayfish farming box. Background Technology

[0002] Crayfish, also known as red swamp crayfish, originated in the south-central United States and northern Mexico. It belongs to the class Crustacea, order Decapoda, family Procambaridae, and genus Procambarus. Because of its resemblance to deep-sea lobsters but its smaller size, it is often called crayfish. Due to its strong adaptability, wide diet, high vitality and reproductive capacity, and low water quality requirements, its natural population has rapidly expanded and has now spread to most provinces and cities in my country. In some lakes and regions, it has become a dominant species, naturalized in my country's natural water bodies. Because of its delicious taste, tender meat, and rich nutrition, it is very popular in the international seafood market and among consumers, and has become an important specialty aquaculture species in my country.

[0003] Crayfish farming uses breeding boxes, but the existing breeding box structure is relatively simple. A typical multi-layer breeding box is simply divided by partitions, which is inconvenient when taking out the crayfish or feeding them.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a multi-layer crayfish farming box. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-layer crayfish breeding box. The breeding box can be pushed out of the breeding box by the lifting component, so that the workers can easily take out the breeding crayfish from the breeding box. Shrimp feed is injected into the connecting pipe, and air is injected into the connecting pipe by the air injection component, which can increase the air pressure in the connecting pipe, so that the shrimp feed in the connecting pipe can be discharged from the discharge port for the crayfish to eat.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A multi-layer crayfish farming box includes a farming box with two sets of farming boxes installed inside. The two sets of farming boxes are connected by four connecting pipes, which are arranged in pairs. Each set of connecting pipes has a discharge port, and the positions of the two sets of discharge ports correspond to the positions of the two sets of farming boxes. The farming box is also equipped with an air injection component to ensure that the food in the connecting pipes can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port. The farming box is also equipped with a lifting component to push the farming boxes out of the farming box, making it convenient for workers to remove the farmed crayfish from the farming box. Shrimp feed is injected into the connecting pipes, and air is injected into the connecting pipes by the air injection component to increase the air pressure in the connecting pipes, so that the shrimp feed in the connecting pipes can be discharged from the discharge port for the crayfish to eat.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting pipe has a conveying channel inside, which is connected to the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, a material hopper is installed on one side of the connecting pipe, the material hopper is connected to the conveying channel, and a pull valve is also installed on the material hopper.

[0011] Furthermore, the air injection assembly includes an air pump, a connector is connected to one side of the air pump, and two air pipes are connected to the connector, each of the air pipes being connected to a corresponding set of connectors.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a first fixed base fixedly installed on one side inside the breeding box, a motor fixedly installed on one side of the first fixed base, a connecting shaft connected to the output end of the motor, a bidirectional lead screw fixedly installed at one end of the connecting shaft, and sliders threadedly connected to the threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw, the sliders being slidably connected to the inside of the breeding box.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes a lifting plate slidably connected inside the breeding box, with the breeding box placed on top of the lifting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end of the lifting plate is connected to a connecting seat, one end of a swing rod is movably connected to the connecting seat, and the other end of the swing rod is connected to the slider.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes a second fixing seat fixedly installed on one side inside the breeding box, and one end of the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the second fixing seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this invention, crayfish are placed in a breeding box, which is then placed on a lifting plate. Water is injected into the breeding box to begin the crayfish breeding process. During the breeding process, crayfish feed is injected into the conveying channel of the connecting pipe through the feeding hopper. Then, the pull-out valve is pressed down to seal the feeding hopper. The air pump is then activated, injecting air through the connector and air pipe to increase the air pressure within the connecting pipe. This allows the crayfish feed to be discharged from the outlet for the crayfish to consume. The two sets of outlets on the connecting pipes... The tiered distribution ensures that each group of breeding boxes can be fed with shrimp. When opening the feeding port, its size is made smaller than that of the crayfish to prevent them from crawling into the connecting pipe through the feeding port. When it is time to remove the crayfish, the motor is started, which drives the connecting shaft to rotate. The connecting shaft drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, which drives two sets of sliders to move closer together. The sliders drive the swing arm to move, which in turn drives the lifting plate to rise, thus lifting the breeding box and moving it outside the breeding box, making it easier for staff to remove the crayfish.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a multi-layer crayfish farming box includes a farming box 1. Inside the farming box 1 are two sets of farming boxes 2, connected by four connecting pipes 3. The four connecting pipes 3 are arranged in pairs, and each set of connecting pipes 3 has a discharge port 303. The positions of the two sets of discharge ports 303 correspond to the positions of the two sets of farming boxes 2. The farming box 1 is also equipped with an air injection component 4 to ensure that the food in the connecting pipes 3 can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 303. A lifting component 5 is installed inside the farming box 1 to push out the farming boxes 2. The lifting component 5 can push the farming boxes 2 out of the farming box 1, making it convenient for workers to remove the farmed crayfish from the farming box 1. Shrimp feed is injected into the connecting pipes 3, and air is injected into the connecting pipes 3 by the air injection component 4, increasing the air pressure inside the connecting pipes 3, so that the shrimp feed in the connecting pipes 3 can be discharged from the discharge port 303 for the crayfish to eat.

[0026] The connecting pipe 3 has a conveying channel inside, which is connected to the discharge port 303.

[0027] A material hopper 301 is installed on one side of the connecting pipe 3. The material hopper 301 is connected to the conveying channel. A pull valve 302 is also installed on the material hopper 301.

[0028] The air injection assembly 4 includes an air pump 401, a connector 402 connected to one side of the air pump 401, and two air tubes 403 connected to the connector 402. Each air tube 403 is connected to a corresponding set of connecting tubes 3.

[0029] The lifting assembly 5 includes a first fixed base 501 fixedly installed on one side inside the breeding box 1. A motor 502 is fixedly installed on one side of the first fixed base 501. The output end of the motor 502 is connected to a connecting shaft 503. A bidirectional lead screw 504 is fixedly installed on one end of the connecting shaft 503. A slider 505 is threadedly connected to the threaded ends of both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 504. The slider 505 is slidably connected to the inside of the breeding box 1.

[0030] The lifting assembly 5 also includes a lifting plate 507 that is slidably connected inside the breeding box 1, with the breeding box 2 placed on top of the lifting plate 507.

[0031] The bottom end of the lifting plate 507 is connected to a connecting seat 508, and one end of the swing rod 506 is movably connected to the connecting seat 508. The other end of the swing rod 506 is connected to the slider 505.

[0032] The lifting assembly 5 also includes a second fixing seat 509 fixedly installed on one side inside the breeding box 1, and one end of the bidirectional screw 504 is rotatably connected to the second fixing seat 509.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model patent for a multi-layer crayfish breeding box is as follows: Crayfish are placed in the breeding box 2, and then the breeding box 2 is placed on the lifting plate 507. Water is injected into the breeding box 1 to start the crayfish breeding process. During the breeding process, shrimp feed is injected into the conveying channel in the connecting pipe 3 through the feeding hopper 301. Then, the pull valve 302 is pressed down to block the feeding hopper 301. Then, the air pump 401 is started. The air pump 401 injects air into the connecting pipe 3 through the connector 402 and the air pipe 403, which increases the air pressure in the connecting pipe 3, so that the shrimp feed in the connecting pipe 3 can be discharged from the discharge port 303 for the crayfish to eat. Since the discharge ports 303 on the two sets of connecting pipes 3 are distributed in layers, each set Shrimp feed can be placed in each breeding box 2. When opening the feed outlet 303, its size should be smaller than the size of the crayfish to prevent the crayfish from crawling into the connecting pipe 3 through the feed outlet 303. When it is necessary to remove the crayfish, start the motor 502. The motor 502 drives the connecting shaft 503 to rotate. The connecting shaft 503 drives the double-acting screw 504 to rotate. The double-acting screw 504 drives the two sets of sliders 505 to move closer to each other. The sliders 505 drive the swing arm 506 to move. The movement of the swing arm 506 drives the lifting plate 507 to rise, which in turn drives the breeding box 2 to rise, so that the breeding box 2 is moved outside the breeding box 1, making it easier for the staff to remove the crayfish. Then, the water can be drained through the drain outlet (not shown in the figure) on the breeding box 1 for water replacement.

[0034] It should be noted that the air pump 401 and the motor 502 are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology.
