Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygenation pump technology, and in particular to a solar-powered oxygenation and water purification device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, aquaculture is gradually developing towards high-density and intensive farming, with total aquaculture output increasing year by year. This is inseparable from the gradual mechanization of aquaculture, especially the widespread use of aerators. It can be said that aerators are an indispensable basic piece of equipment for achieving the modernization of fisheries. An aerator is a machine commonly used in aquaculture. Its main function is to increase the oxygen content in the water to ensure that fish do not suffer from oxygen deficiency, while also inhibiting the growth of anaerobic bacteria and preventing water deterioration that could threaten the fish's living environment. Aerators generally rely on their built-in air pumps to inject air into the water, thereby increasing the oxygen content. (Refer to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN202338457U for a pond-type photovoltaic aerator pump.) However, existing photovoltaic aerator pumps have limited functionality, and air stone aeration only increases dissolved oxygen in the surface layer, with little effect on the deeper layers where oxygen demand is high. Air stone aeration works by injecting air into air stones; the bubbles rise to the surface, burst, and come into contact with air, dissolving oxygen to the surface. Air stones only oxygenate the water surface; the oxygen is dissolved on the surface, but the bottom water and the bottom of the water, which truly need oxygen, remain oxygen-deficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention solves the problem of poor oxygenation effect of existing photovoltaic oxygenation pumps on bottom water, and proposes a solar-powered oxygenation and water-activating device that simultaneously activates the water body and exchanges water between the upper and lower layers, thereby improving the overall dissolved oxygen in the water.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is proposed:

[0005] A solar-powered oxygenating water device includes a pole with a photovoltaic panel on top. A storage battery is fixed to the photovoltaic panel on the pole and electrically connected to the storage battery. At least one oxygenating pump is fixed to the pole, and the outlet of the oxygenating pump delivers oxygen to the water body through a conduit. The oxygenating pump is electrically connected to the storage battery, and the storage battery is electrically connected to a water pump. The outlet of the water pump is located near the water surface, and the inlet of the water pump is located near the bottom of the water. A filter module is located below the outlet.

[0006] This invention combines a solar-powered oxygenation pump with a small water pump. While the oxygenation pump oxygenates the surface water, it also circulates the water. The water pump then pumps the lower water to the vicinity of the upper water surface, achieving water exchange between the upper and lower layers and increasing the overall dissolved oxygen. With increased dissolved oxygen, nitrifying bacteria increase, anaerobic bacteria decrease, the water's decomposition capacity is enhanced, and water quality is improved.

[0007] Preferably, the water pump is a pressure-type pumping mechanism, which includes a three-way pumping pipe with an upper opening, a lower opening, and a side opening. A piston is slidably connected inside the three-way pumping pipe. The piston is connected to an external power component through a piston rod passing through the upper opening. The piston has a flow channel connecting the upper and lower openings of the three-way pumping pipe. A piston valve is provided at the lower inlet of the flow channel. The piston reciprocates inside the three-way pumping pipe. A pressure valve is rotatably connected at the lower opening. The lower opening is connected to a bottom pumping pipe. A guide pipe is connected to the side opening. The filter module includes a filter disc with sieve holes located below the guide pipe. A filter sponge is provided on the filter disc.

[0008] Preferably, the energy storage battery includes a first battery and a second battery connected in series, with the first battery fixed on the pole and the second battery being a removable and replaceable battery.

[0009] In this invention, the first battery is charged by the photovoltaic panel. The purpose of setting up a second battery, which can be removed and replaced, is to avoid the situation where the photovoltaic panel is not powered enough due to continuous rainy weather, causing the device to stop operating. Two second batteries should be set up. One battery powers the device while the other is connected to the mains power for charging as a backup. When the first battery is depleted, the other fully charged battery can be directly replaced.

[0010] Preferably, an air stone is connected to the end of the conduit. The purpose of incorporating the air stone in this invention is to increase oxygenation efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, the conduit is equipped with a backflow preventer valve. The purpose of the backflow preventer valve in this invention is to prevent water from flowing back to the aerator pump when the equipment is not working.

[0012] Preferably, the water pump inlet is connected to a filter device. The purpose of installing a filter device at the water pump inlet is to prevent debris from entering the water pump and affecting the pumping operation, thereby improving the service life of the device.

[0013] Preferably, the upright is provided with a support platform near the bottom, and the water pump and the filter device are both fixed on the support platform.

[0014] Preferably, a first buoyancy platform is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upright, and the water pump and the filter device are both fixed on the buoyancy platform. Several buoyancy rods with a certain same angle are connected around the buoyancy platform, and buoyancy rings are connected to the ends of the buoyancy rods.

[0015] Preferably, the outer diameter of the buoyancy ring is at least three times the maximum outer diameter of the buoyancy platform, and the maximum outer diameter of the buoyancy ring is four times the maximum outer diameter of the buoyancy platform.

[0016] Preferably, the buoyancy ring is connected to a guide line, and the end of the guide line is connected to a pin.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: combining a solar-powered oxygen pump with a small water pump, the oxygen pump oxygenates the surface water while simultaneously activating the water body, and the water pump pumps the lower layer water to the vicinity of the upper layer water surface through the riser, realizing the exchange of water between the upper and lower layers, thus improving the overall dissolved oxygen in the water. With the increase in dissolved oxygen, nitrifying bacteria increase, anaerobic bacteria decrease, the water body's decomposition capacity is enhanced, and the water quality is improved.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] This embodiment proposes a solar-powered oxygenated water device, referencing... Figure 1The system includes a pole 1, with a photovoltaic panel 2 at its top. An energy storage battery is fixed to the photovoltaic panel 2 on the pole 1, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is electrically connected to the energy storage battery. At least one oxygen pump 5 is fixed to the pole 1, and the outlet of the oxygen pump 5 delivers oxygen to the water body through a conduit 6. An air stone 7 is connected to the end of the conduit 6. The purpose of the air stone 7 is to increase oxygenation efficiency. A backflow preventer 10 is provided on the conduit 6. The purpose of the backflow preventer 10 is to prevent water from flowing back to the oxygen pump when the equipment is not working. The oxygen pump 5 is electrically connected to the energy storage battery, which is electrically connected to a water pump 8. The outlet 9 of the water pump 8 is located near the water surface. The energy storage battery includes a first battery 3 and a second battery 4 connected in series. The first battery 3 is fixed to the pole 1, and the second battery 4 is a removable and replaceable battery. A filter device 11 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 8. The purpose of installing a filter device 11 at the inlet of the water pump 8 is to prevent debris from entering the water pump 8 and affecting the pumping operation, thereby improving the service life of the device. A support platform is provided near the bottom of the upright 1, and both the water pump 8 and the filter device 11 are fixed to the support platform.

[0030] In this embodiment, it can be used simply by inserting the upright pole 1 directly into the water.

[0031] This invention combines a solar-powered oxygenation pump with a small water pump. While the oxygenation pump 5 oxygenates the surface water, it also circulates the water. The water pump 8 pumps the lower water to the vicinity of the upper water surface, achieving water exchange between the upper and lower layers and increasing the overall dissolved oxygen. With the increased dissolved oxygen, nitrifying bacteria increase, anaerobic bacteria decrease, the water's decomposition capacity is enhanced, and the water quality is improved.

[0032] In this invention, the first battery is charged by the photovoltaic panel. The purpose of setting up a second battery, which can be removed and replaced, is to avoid the situation where the photovoltaic panel is not powered enough due to continuous rainy weather, causing the device to stop operating. Two second batteries should be set up. One battery powers the device while the other is connected to the mains power for charging as a backup. When the first battery is depleted, the other fully charged battery can be directly replaced. Example

[0033] This embodiment proposes a solar-powered oxygenated water filtration device, based on Embodiment 1 and with reference to... Figure 4Wherein: (a) is a schematic diagram of the initial position of the piston, and (b) is a schematic diagram of the final position of the piston; the water pump 8 is a pressure-type pumping mechanism, which includes a three-way pumping pipe 25, the three-way pumping pipe 25 including an upper opening, a lower opening and a side opening, a piston 27 is slidably connected inside the three-way pumping pipe 25, the piston 27 is connected to the external power component 24 through the piston rod 26 passing through the upper opening, the piston 27 is provided with a flow channel 33 connecting the upper opening and the lower opening of the three-way pumping pipe 25, the lower inlet of the flow channel 33 is provided with a piston valve 34, the piston 27 reciprocates inside the three-way pumping pipe 25, a pressure valve 28 is rotatably connected at the lower opening, a bottom pumping pipe 29 is connected at the lower opening, a guide pipe 30 is connected at the side opening, and a filter module includes a filter plate 31 with sieve holes set below the guide pipe 30, and a filter sponge 32 is provided on the filter plate 31.

[0034] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0035] When the piston is in its initial position, guide water is added, and then the external power assembly 24 is activated, causing the piston to reciprocate continuously. The addition of guide water closes the piston valve 34 of piston 27, creating a vacuum between the piston valve 34 and the pressure valve 28. As the piston moves upward, it drives the lower water in the bottom suction pipe 29 upward through the flow channel 33 to the three-way suction pipe 25, eventually filling the three-way suction pipe 25. The overflowing water then flows out from the side outlet through the guide pipe 30. The piston valve 34 and the pressure valve 28 ensure that air is constantly being discharged upward. The lower water is then filtered by the filter sponge 32 and flows through the sieve holes of the filter plate 31 to the upper water surface. The external power assembly 24 is not specifically limited in this embodiment; it can be a cylinder for reciprocating motion or a crank-slider motion driven by a motor. In the prototype testing, this embodiment is more energy-efficient than Embodiment 5, making it a more energy-saving option.

[0036] Example 3:

[0037] This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that the fixed position of the upright 1 is changed. (Refer to...) Figure 2Example 3 proposes a solar-powered oxygenated water filtration device, comprising a pole 1, a photovoltaic panel 2 at the top of the pole 1, a storage battery fixed on the pole 1 and the photovoltaic panel 2, electrically connected to the storage battery, and at least one oxygenation pump 5 fixed on the pole 1. The outlet of the oxygenation pump 5 delivers oxygen to the water body through a conduit 6; the end of the conduit 6 is connected to an air stone 7. The purpose of the air stone 7 is to increase the oxygenation efficiency. A backflow preventer 10 is provided on the conduit 6. The purpose of the backflow preventer 10 is to prevent water from flowing back to the oxygenation pump when the device is not working. The oxygenation pump 5 is electrically connected to the storage battery, which is electrically connected to a water pump 8. The outlet 9 of the water pump 8 is located near the water surface. The storage battery includes a first battery 3 and a second battery 4 connected in series. The first battery 3 is fixed on the pole 1, and the second battery 4 is a removable and replaceable battery. A filter device 11 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 8.

[0038] When draining the pond water in pond aquaculture, the installation method of the pole in Example 1 is very convenient. However, when it is impossible to drain the water, it is difficult to directly insert the pole 1. Therefore, in this example, the water pump 8 and the filter device 11 are separated from the pole 1. The pole 1 can be directly fixed to the bank of the water body. The air stone 7 and the filter device 11 are placed in the water body, which can also achieve the effect of oxygenating and activating the water, and is also easier to install.

[0039] Example 4:

[0040] This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that the installation method of pole 1 is modified. (See reference...) Figure 3 Example 4 presents a solar-powered oxygenated water filtration device, comprising a pole 1, a photovoltaic panel 2 at the top of the pole 1, a storage battery fixed to the photovoltaic panel 2 on the pole 1, and the photovoltaic panel 2 electrically connected to the storage battery. At least one oxygenation pump 5 is fixed to the pole 1, and the outlet of the oxygenation pump 5 delivers oxygen to the water body through a conduit 6; an air stone 7 is connected to the end of the conduit 6. The purpose of the air stone 7 is to increase the oxygenation efficiency. A backflow preventer 10 is provided on the conduit 6. The purpose of the backflow preventer 10 is to prevent water from flowing back to the oxygenation pump when the device is not working. The oxygenation pump 5 is electrically connected to the storage battery, and the storage battery is electrically connected to a water pump 8. The outlet 9 of the water pump 8 is located near the water surface. The storage battery includes a first battery 3 and a second battery 4 connected in series. The first battery 3 is fixed to the pole 1, and the second battery 4 is a removable and replaceable battery. A filter device 11 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 8.

[0041] A first buoyancy platform 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upright 1. The water pump 8 and the filter device 11 are both fixed to the buoyancy platform 13. Several buoyancy rods 14 with the same angle are connected around the buoyancy platform 13, and buoyancy rings 12 are connected to the ends of the buoyancy rods 14. The outer diameter of the buoyancy ring 12 is at least three times the maximum outer diameter of the buoyancy platform 13, and at most four times the maximum outer diameter of the buoyancy platform 13. A guide line 15 is connected to the buoyancy ring 12, and a pin 16 is connected to the end of the guide line 15. The purpose of setting the pin 16 and the guide line 15 is to prevent the device from floating to an uncontrollable position.

[0042] Compared with Examples 1 and 2, this embodiment is more convenient to use on site. It can be used directly in water, eliminating the need for on-site installation of pole 1.
