A first gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. A toothed shell is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom shell, meshing with the first gear. A first electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom shell. The output end of the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the toothed shell. A support shell is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. A motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the support shell. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft via a coupling. The left end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the support shell. A coiled shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support shell. A connecting shell is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric push rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connecting shell is rotatably connected to a rotating shell, the inner wall of the rotating shell is wound with a connecting rope, the outer wall of the connecting rope is in contact with the inner wall of the rotating shell, and the other end of the connecting rope is wound with a floating plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a salvage shell disposed at the bottom of the floating plate, a limiting shell fixedly connected to the top of the salvage shell, and the top of the limiting shell fixedly connected to the bottom of the floating plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting shell is slidably connected to two sliding shells, both of which extend to the outside of the limiting shell, and the bottom of both sliding shells is fixedly connected to a perforated shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer walls of both perforated shells are slidably connected to the inner wall of the salvage shell, and toothed plates are slidably connected to the front and right sides of the inner wall of the limiting shell. The left side of the limiting shell located on the rear side is fixedly connected to the right side of the sliding shell located on the left side.
[0011] Furthermore, the right side of the limiting shell located on the front side is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding shell located on the right side, a bait box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the retrieval shell, and a guide shell is connected and fixedly connected to the front side of the retrieval shell.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting shell, a second gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, both of the toothed plates mesh with the second gear, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod.
[0013] Furthermore, a worm gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting shell, the front end of the sliding shell extends to the outside of the limiting shell, the worm gear meshes with a worm wheel, and a knob is fixedly connected to the front end of the worm gear.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By setting up an installation mechanism, the push rod and bottom shell, along with several casters, are first moved to the work site. Then, the first electric push rod is activated, causing the toothed shell to slide to the left along the inner wall of the bottom shell. The toothed shell then drives the first gear and rotating rod, along with the support shell and the second electric push rod, to rotate to the right. The second electric push rod then drives the connecting rope and floating plate, along with the limiting shell and the retrieval shell, to rotate to the right. By reversing the activation of the first electric push rod, the retrieval shell can be adjusted left and right. Then, the second electric push rod is activated, causing the connecting rope and floating plate, along with the limiting shell and the retrieval shell, to move diagonally upwards and forwards simultaneously. By reversing the activation of the second electric push rod, the retrieval shell can be adjusted to different heights. The system allows for forward and backward movement adjustment. Then, the motor is started, driving the rotating shaft and winding shell to wind up the connecting rope. The connecting rope then moves the floating plate, limiting shell, and retrieval shell upwards. The height of the retrieval shell is adjusted by restarting the motor in both directions, allowing it to be placed in a suitable position in the pool. The seahorse larvae are then retrieved and collected via a connecting mechanism. After completion, the process is reversed to remove the collected seahorse larvae from the water. The retrieval mechanism then removes them. This method allows for quick, automatic, and precise adjustment of the retrieval shell's position to retrieve the seahorse larvae, reducing the number of steps required by staff, saving time and effort, and lowering labor intensity.
[0016] 2. By setting up a connecting mechanism, first turn the knob, which drives the worm gear to rotate. The worm gear drives the worm wheel and connecting rod to rotate with the second gear. The second gear drives the front and rear toothed plates to slide on the inner wall of the limiting shell and move away from the center of the limiting shell. Then, the two toothed plates drive the two sliding shells and the two perforated shells to move away from the center of the limiting shell. After that, the two perforated shells disengage from the inner wall of the retrieval shell. Then, open the bait box, place the bait on its inner wall and close it. Then, turn the knob in the opposite direction to reset the two perforated shells. Then, adjust the retrieval shell to a suitable position in the pool through the installation mechanism. At the same time, the float plate makes the retrieval shell float. Then, the seahorse larvae enter the interior of the retrieval shell through the guide shell for collection. After completion, reverse the above operation to take out the collected seahorse larvae. Through the above operation, the stable and efficient retrieval and collection of seahorse larvae is achieved, improving the collection efficiency of seahorse larvae. At the same time, this method also reduces the interference and damage risk to the seahorse larvae.
