It solves the problem that existing aerators for aquaculture can only work in a fixed position and cannot achieve comprehensive oxygenation of the entire aquaculture water body. The movement mode and oxygenation effect of the aerator are also insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of aquaculture for efficient and uniform oxygenation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an aerator for aquaculture, comprising a suspension box and an mounting plate disposed on the upper surface of the suspension box, an aeration component disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate, and a rotating mechanism for driving the aeration component to operate inside the suspension box.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a dual-axis motor fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the suspension box, a transmission gear fixedly connected to the right output shaft of the dual-axis motor, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the suspension box, a driven gear fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, and an adjusting gear fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an aerator for aquaculture, which has the following features:

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This aerator for aquaculture uses a controller to start a dual-shaft motor that drives a transmission gear to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear meshes with the driven gear, which in turn meshes with the rotating shaft, causing the adjusting gear to rotate the gear ring. This rotation, through the fixed cylinder, causes the mounting plate and the aerator cylinder to rotate, further increasing the contact area between the water and air, thus improving the aeration efficiency and achieving the advantage of high aeration efficiency.

[0019] 2. This aerator for aquaculture uses a controller to start a dual-shaft motor that drives the drive shaft to rotate. The drive shaft then drives the impeller to rotate, enabling the aerator to move in the water. Simultaneously, the impeller's high-speed impact on the water surface during rotation creates splashes, further dissolving a large amount of air to form dissolved oxygen. This also generates a strong force that propels the water flow and oxygenates the water at different locations, resulting in a more uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen in the aquaculture water, thus achieving the advantage of high practicality.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4This embodiment of an aerator for aquaculture includes a suspension box 1 and a mounting plate 2 disposed on the upper surface of the suspension box 1. An aeration assembly is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 2. The suspension box 1 contains a rotating mechanism that drives the aeration assembly. The aeration assembly includes an aeration cylinder 3 disposed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 2 and a connecting shaft 4 fixedly connected to the top of the aeration cylinder 3. The aeration cylinder 3 is a hollow cylinder with several through holes inside. The connecting shaft 4 rotates inside the mounting plate 2. There are four aeration assemblies arranged in a rectangular shape on the lower surface of the mounting plate 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating seat 5 rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the suspension box 1, a gear ring 6 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating seat 5, a fixed cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating seat 5, and a driving mechanism disposed inside the suspension box 1.

[0029] The fixed cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to the interior of the suspension box 1 and extends to its upper surface, and the mounting plate 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the fixed cylinder 7.

[0030] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a dual-axis motor 8 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the suspension tank 1, a transmission gear 9 fixedly connected to the output shaft at the right end of the dual-axis motor 8, a rotating shaft 10 rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the suspension tank 1, a driven gear 11 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 10, and an adjusting gear 15 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 10. The dual-axis motor 8 is started by the controller to drive the transmission gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. This causes the adjusting gear 15 to drive the gear ring 6 to rotate, and through the fixed cylinder 7, it drives the mounting plate 2 and the aeration cylinder 3 to rotate. The aeration cylinder 3 rotates accordingly, further increasing the contact area between the water and the air, improving the oxygenation efficiency, and achieving the advantage of high oxygenation efficiency.

[0031] It should be noted that the transmission gear 9 and the driven gear 11 are meshed with each other, the adjusting gear 15 and the gear ring 6 are meshed and connected, and the fixed cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to the inside of the suspension box 1 through the adjusting gear 15.

[0032] In this embodiment, the interior of the suspension tank 1 is equipped with a moving mechanism extending to its exterior. The moving mechanism includes a drive shaft 12 fixedly connected to the left output shaft of the dual-axis motor 8 and an impeller 13 fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 12 away from the dual-axis motor 8. The impeller 13 is rotatably connected to the exterior of the suspension tank 1. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the exterior of the drive shaft 12, located outside the impeller 13. The dual-axis motor 8 is started by the controller, driving the drive shaft 12 to rotate. The drive shaft 12 drives the impeller 13 to rotate, enabling the aerator to move within the water. Simultaneously, the impeller 13, during its rotation, strikes the water surface at high speed, creating splashes that further dissolve a large amount of air, forming dissolved oxygen. This also generates a strong force, propelling the water flow and oxygenating the water at different locations, resulting in a more uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen in the aquaculture water, achieving the advantage of high practicality.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Based on Embodiment 1, the system includes a hydraulic cylinder 14 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed cylinder 7, and a mounting plate 2 fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14. The controller activates the hydraulic cylinder 14 to extend and retract, causing the mounting plate 2 and the aerator cylinder 3 to move up and down, facilitating adjustment of the contact depth with the water surface.

[0035] Using the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is activated by the controller to extend and retract, thereby moving the mounting plate 2 and the aerator 3 up and down, which facilitates the adjustment of the contact depth with the water surface.

[0036] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0037] In operation, the dual-shaft motor 8 is activated by the controller, driving the transmission gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 9 meshes with the driven gear 11, which in turn meshes with the rotating shaft 10, causing the adjusting gear 15 to rotate the gear ring 6. This, in turn, causes the mounting plate 2 and the aerator 3 to rotate via the fixed cylinder 7. The aerator 3 rotates accordingly, further increasing the contact area between the water and air and improving the oxygenation efficiency. The dual-shaft motor 8 is activated by the controller, driving the transmission shaft 12 to rotate. The transmission shaft 12 then drives the impeller 13 to rotate, enabling the aerator to move within the water. Simultaneously, the impeller 13 strikes the water surface at high speed during rotation, creating splashes that further dissolve a large amount of air, forming dissolved oxygen. This also generates a strong force that propels the water flow and oxygenates the water at different locations, resulting in a more uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen in the aquaculture water.

[0038] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
