Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing gear and supplies, specifically a fish counting box. Background Technology
[0002] In order to attract more fishing enthusiasts, some fishing grounds use a fish-returning system to reduce the cost of fishing for them. After anglers return a certain number of fish to the fishing ground, the fishing ground will give them a certain reward or discount based on the number of fish returned. In this way, fishing enthusiasts can enjoy more fishing fun with less money.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies often use manual counting or counter detection to count the number of fish caught. Manual counting is prone to errors, while counters can be manipulated by repeatedly starting the counter, affecting the final count. Therefore, researching a new fish counting box to solve these problems is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This fish counting box uses a net bag and a fish inlet to release fish. The fish are pushed down the upper guide grate, breaking through the upper movable baffle, and then down the lower guide grate, breaking through the counting flap. As the counting flap turns, it drives the magnetic head to correspond with the magnetic counter, thus completing one count. This method can count fish without the need for manual retrieval, making counting convenient and quick. Moreover, fish counted in this way can be directly released into the water through the fish outlet, avoiding damage to the fish and affecting their survival rate during retrieval.
[0017] 2. This fish counting box works by feeding fish into the counting box through the net bag and fish inlet. The fish then pass through the upper guide grate and hit the upper movable baffle to fall smoothly downwards. At the same time, the upper guide grate and the upper movable baffle can protect the counting flip plate and prevent anglers from cheating. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a fish counting box, including a counting box 1. A fish inlet 12 is provided at the top of the counting box 1, allowing fish to be easily placed into the counting box 1 for counting operations. A net bag 2 connected to the fish inlet 12 is also installed at the top of the counting box 1. An electrical box 3 is installed at the rear of the counting box 1, protecting a magnetic counter 6. The magnetic counter 6 is housed in the electrical box 3, which also integrates a voice player and controller. The voice player enables counting playback and can also be equipped with a display screen for counting. The magnetic end of the magnetic counter 6 passes through the counting box 1 and is positioned on the swing trajectory of the magnetic head 10. The counting box 1 has a fish outlet 11 at its bottom, which allows fish to be easily discharged directly into the water, reducing the risk of injury. The counting box 1 also has a fish basket connection part 9 at its bottom, which connects to a fish basket, allowing fish discharged through the fish outlet 11 to enter the basket for easy sale to anglers. The counting box 1 is equipped with an upper guide grate 5 and a lower guide grate 7. The upper part of the counting box 1 is hinged to the upper movable baffle 4 via a pin. The upper guide grate 5 and the upper movable baffle 4 protect the counting flip plate 8, preventing cheating by anglers. The lower part of the upper movable baffle 4 is sloped, which facilitates fish impacting the baffle 4. When opened, the upper movable baffle 4 is positioned above the upper guide grate 5, which in turn is positioned above the lower guide grate 7. The upper and lower guide grates 5 and 7 are inclined towards each other. The inclined design of both grates allows fish to slide smoothly down the slope. Gaps are also provided between the grates to facilitate drainage and reduce contamination from long-term use. The counting box 1 is internally hinged to the counting flap 8 via a pin. The counting flap 8 can move via the pin, allowing fish to slide down the lower guide grate 7 and impact it. This causes the counting flap 8 to engage the magnetic head 10 with the magnetic end of the magnetic counter 6, thus achieving counting. This cyclical counting improves the convenience of counting. Meanwhile, the counting flap 8 and the upper movable baffle 4 can smoothly complete the reset action through gravity and the cooperation of the pin shaft. The counting flap 8 is located between the upper guide grate 5 and the lower guide grate 7. The upper guide grate 5 and the lower guide grate 7 include, but are not limited to, steel pipes, pulleys, grids, or mesh panels. When the upper guide grate 5 and the lower guide grate 7 are steel pipes or pulleys, the cylindrical shape of the steel pipe and the rolling nature of the pulley can effectively reduce the resistance of the fish sliding down, maintaining smooth fish release. When the upper guide grate 5 and the lower guide grate 7 are grids or mesh panels, the gap direction of the grid and mesh can be set arbitrarily. Moreover, the upper guide grate 5 and the lower guide grate 7 guide the fish to collide with the upper movable baffle 4 and the counting flap 8, facilitating the counting operation and thus facilitating the accumulation of points for anglers.The upper guide grate 5 extends beyond the vertical line between the upper movable baffle 4 and the counting flap 8, allowing fish to smoothly slide down to the lower guide grate 7. This prevents fish from falling downwards from the left side of the counting box 1, which would affect the counting. Simultaneously, the lower guide grate 7 extends below the counting flap 8, allowing fish to easily impact and open it. A magnetic suction head 10 is installed behind the counting flap 8, corresponding to a magnetic counter 6, ensuring fish counting is achieved with each correspondence. A magnetic counter 6 is installed on the counting box 1.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When counting during the fishing process, the angler throws the fish caught into the net bag 2, so that the fish enters the counting box 1 through the fish inlet 12, and hits the upper movable baffle 4 downward along the upper guide grate 5, causing the upper movable baffle 4 to flip open, so that the fish falls onto the lower guide grate 7 and hits the counting flip plate 8, causing the counting flip plate 8 to drive the magnetic suction head 10 to move, so that the magnetic suction head 10 corresponds with the magnetic suction counter 6, so that the magnetic suction counter 6 counts, while the fish goes directly into the water through the fish outlet 11 along the lower guide grate 7.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
