[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, a float temperature measuring device for aquaculture includes a float body 1. A stabilizing component 5 is installed on the outside of the float body 1. The stabilizing component 5 includes one or more hinge seats 501 fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the float body 1, and all of the one or more hinge seats 501 are horizontally arranged. An extension rod 502 is hinged inside each of the one or more hinge seats 501. A supporting float ball 503 is fixedly connected to one of the ends of the one or more extension rods 502 that are far apart from each other. A gear 504 is coaxially fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of each of the one or more extension rods 502. A mounting ring 505 is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the top of the float body 1. A toothed ring 506 is rotatably connected to the outside of the mounting ring 505 through a bearing. One or more gears 504 mesh with the toothed ring 506. A counterweight 509 is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the float body 1. A battery and a controller can be additionally installed on the top of the float body 1 so that the device can operate autonomously. Alternatively, each device can be directly electrically connected to an external device through wires.

[0025] A protective cover 507 is detachably connected to one side of the top outer wall of the float body 1 by bolts. A motor is fixedly installed inside the protective cover 507, and a gear 508 that meshes with the gear ring 506 is coaxially fixed at the output end of the motor. A through hole is opened on one side of the outer wall of the protective cover 507, and the wire can be connected to the motor through the through hole.

[0026] The motor inside the protective cover 507 on top of the float body 1 is started. The motor output drives the gear 2 508 to rotate. The gear 2 508 drives the gear ring 506 meshing with it to rotate outside the mounting ring 2 505. The gear ring 506 drives several gears 1 504 meshing with it to rotate synchronously. The gear 1 504 drives the extension rod 502 connected to it to flip outward, so that the support float 503 will also move away from the float body 1, thereby increasing the overall area of ​​the device. If the device is impacted and tilts, one or two support floats 503 will enter the water. The buoyancy will push the support floats 503 back to their original position. When the device is not in use, multiple support floats 503 can be gathered together for easy storage and transportation. When the device tilts, the counterweight 509 at the bottom will also tilt. Under the action of gravity, the bottom of the float body 1 will be subjected to a vertical downward pull. With the help of buoyancy, the entire device will return to its original state more quickly.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a through hole is provided in the middle of the float body 1, and a mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole. A vertically arranged temperature sensor is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 4, and the sensing end of the sensor is located at the bottom of the float body 1.

[0028] The water in the aquaculture pond passes through the filter holes of the filter cover 601 and comes into contact with the temperature sensor fixed in the middle of the mounting bracket 4, thereby measuring the water temperature in the aquaculture pond.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective component 6 is installed at the bottom of the float body 1. The protective component 6 includes a filter cover 601 fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom outer wall of the float body 1. The filter cover 601 surrounds the outside of the temperature sensor.

[0030] A pump body 602 is fixedly installed on the middle of the top outer wall of the float body 1. A water outlet pipe 603 is fixedly inserted into the outlet of the pump body 602, and a water inlet pipe 604 is fixedly inserted into the inlet of the pump body 602. A nozzle 605 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the bottom of the water outlet pipe 603, and the nozzle 605 is located in the internal space of the filter cover 601. One or more nozzles are provided on the outer circumference and bottom outer wall of the nozzle 605. A vertically arranged electric telescopic rod 606 is fixedly installed on the inner circumference of the mounting bracket 4. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod 606 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the nozzle 605.

[0031] After a period of use, the pump 602 on the top of the float body 1 is activated, which draws water into it through the inlet pipe 604, and then transmits it to the nozzle 605 through the outlet pipe 603. Finally, it sprays water outward from the external opening. Impurities attached to the outside of the filter cover 601 will be impacted and fall back into the water. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 606 is activated to reciprocate and extend, and the nozzle 605 can clean the filter cover 601 in all aspects, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, another balance block 2 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the float body 1, so that the device will not tilt due to uneven force caused by the equipment on it.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting ring 3 is coaxially fixed to the top outer wall of the float body 1. The mounting ring 3 surrounds the outside of the mounting frame 4. A protective cover can be installed on the outside of the mounting ring 3 to ensure that the equipment is not damaged by rain.

[0034] This utility model provides a float-based temperature measuring device for aquaculture, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0035] When the device is in operation, it is placed in the designated area. Then, the motor inside the protective cover 507 on top of the float body 1 is started. The motor output drives gear 2 508 to rotate. Gear 2 508 drives the gear ring 506 meshing with it to rotate outside the mounting ring 2 505. Gear ring 506 drives several gears 1 504 meshing with it to rotate synchronously. Gear 1 504 drives the extension rod 502 connected to it to rotate outwards, causing the support floats 503 to move away from the float body 1, thus increasing the overall area of ​​the device. If the device tilts due to an impact, one or two support floats 503 will enter the water, and buoyancy will push them back to their original positions. When the device is not in use, the multiple support floats 503 can be gathered together for easy storage and transportation. Furthermore, when the device tilts, its bottom... The counterweight 509 will also tilt. Under the action of gravity, the bottom of the float body 1 will be subjected to a vertical downward pull. With the help of buoyancy, the whole device will return to its original shape more quickly. The water in the breeding pond will also pass through the filter holes of the filter cover 601 and come into contact with the temperature sensor fixed in the middle of the mounting frame 4. Thus, the water temperature in the breeding pond can be measured. After a period of use, the pump body 602 at the top of the float body 1 will be started. It will draw water into the float through the inlet pipe 604 and then transmit it to the nozzle 605 through the outlet pipe 603. Finally, it will be sprayed outward from the opening on the outside. The impurities attached to the outside of the filter cover 601 will be impacted and fall back into the water. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 606 will be started to reciprocate and extend. The nozzle 605 can then clean the filter cover 601 in all directions, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
