Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pearl farming technology, specifically a pearl farming cultivation box. Background Technology

[0002] Pearl oyster nucleus implantation is a key technique in pearl farming. The main purpose of this procedure is to artificially implant a pearl nucleus into the pearl oyster, stimulating it to secrete nacre and thus forming cultured pearls. This method effectively increases pearl yield and quality, meeting market demand for pearl jewelry. Immediately after the procedure, the pearl oysters need to recover in a temporary holding tank. The water in this tank must be clean and unpolluted, with suitable temperature, salinity, and other environmental conditions. Generally, the water temperature for Pinctada martensii oysters is controlled at 20-25℃, and the salinity at 28-32‰, for approximately 1-2 weeks. During this period, the survival and wound healing of the pearl oysters must be closely monitored. However, existing cultivation boxes typically use stagnant seawater. In a natural environment, the circulation of seawater stimulates the normal movement of the pearl oyster's mantle. The mantle is a crucial organ for nacre secretion. Without simulating natural seawater circulation, mantle movement may become sluggish or irregular, potentially reducing the pearl oyster's nacre secretion capacity and affecting pearl formation. Therefore, we propose a pearl farming cultivation box. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a pearl farming cultivation box that can simulate the flow of seawater in the natural environment, stimulate the normal movement of the mantle of pearl oysters, promote the secretion of nacre, and facilitate the formation of pearls. This can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pearl farming cultivation box, including a cultivation pond, a base provided on the bottom wall of the cultivation pond, cultivation frames provided on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the base, a seawater tank placed on the left side of the cultivation pond, and a circulation mechanism.

[0005] The circulation mechanism includes an output pipe, a grid, and a circulation pipe. The seawater tank is connected to the aquaculture pond via the output pipe. The rear end of the seawater tank is equipped with a circulation pipe. The front right end of the circulation pipe passes through the upper right side of the rear side wall of the aquaculture pond and extends into the interior of the aquaculture pond. The right end of the output pipe is equipped with a grid, which allows the seawater circulation to simulate the flow of seawater in the natural environment, stimulate the normal movement of the mantle of the pearl oyster, promote the secretion of nacre, and facilitate the formation of pearls.

[0006] Furthermore, a control switch group is provided on the front side of the seawater tank. The input end of the control switch group is electrically connected to an external power source for stable control.

[0007] Furthermore, the right end of each grille is provided with evenly distributed diversion ports, which can disperse the water flow into multiple small streams.

[0008] Furthermore, the circulation mechanism also includes a water pump, which is connected in series in the middle of the output pipe. The input end of the water pump is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to facilitate seawater circulation.

[0009] Furthermore, a second water pump is connected in series at the front right end of the circulation pipe. The input end of the second water pump is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group, which is mainly used for rest after pearl oyster nucleus insertion surgery.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the culture frames has a culture frame cover fastened to its upper end for easy sealing.

[0011] Furthermore, an inlet pipe is provided at the upper end of the front side wall of the seawater tank, and a valve is connected in series in the middle of the inlet pipe to facilitate the replenishment of seawater.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This pearl farming and cultivation box has the following advantages:

[0013] By combining output pipes, water pumps, and circulation pipes, seawater is circulated within the aquaculture tank. During this circulation, the seawater is divided into multiple streams by the help of grates. These smaller streams more closely resemble the water flow conditions in the natural environment. This reduces the stress response of pearl oysters caused by sudden environmental changes when the seawater passes through the cultivation frame. Furthermore, the combination of seawater circulation and the natural water flow environment in the ocean can be simulated, allowing the pearl oysters to live in a relatively familiar water flow environment after the nucleation surgery. This promotes the normal movement of their mantle and has a positive effect on nacre secretion and wound repair. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a pearl farming cultivation box, including a cultivation pond 1. A base 10 is provided on the bottom wall of the cultivation pond 1. Cultivation frames 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the base 10. The cultivation frames 8 are fixed to the base 10 by welding. Cultivation frame covers 9 are fastened to the upper ends of the cultivation frames 8. A seawater tank 3 is placed on the left side of the cultivation pond 1. An inlet pipe 4 is provided at the upper end of the front side wall of the seawater tank 3. A valve 5 is connected in series in the middle of the inlet pipe 4. A control switch group 6 is provided on the front side of the seawater tank 3. The input end of the control switch group 6 is electrically connected to an external power source. Workers pull the cultivation frames upwards. Cover 9 temporarily separates the cultivation frame cover 9 from the cultivation frame 8. Then, place the pearl oyster with the nucleus inserted into the cultivation frame 8. Next, use a special pearl oyster fixing frame to fix the pearl oyster to ensure its stability. Then, put the cultivation frame cover 9 back onto the cultivation frame 8 to seal the cultivation frame 8. Then, the worker manually opens the valve 5 and injects seawater into the seawater tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4. The worker can put the feed directly into the cultivation frame 8. During the seawater circulation, the cultivation frame 8 welded to the base 10 remains stable, which is convenient for the pearl oyster to rest after the nucleus insertion surgery. It also includes a circulation mechanism 2.

[0022] Circulation mechanism 2 includes an output pipe 21, a grille 23, and a circulation pipe 24. The seawater tank 3 is connected to the aquaculture pond 1 via the output pipe 21. The rear end of the seawater tank 3 is equipped with the circulation pipe 24. The front right end of the circulation pipe 24 penetrates the upper right side of the rear side wall of the aquaculture pond 1 and extends into the interior of the aquaculture pond 1. The right end of the output pipe 21 is equipped with a grille 23, and the right end of the grille 23 is provided with evenly distributed diversion ports. The circulation mechanism 2 also includes a water pump 22, which is connected in series in the middle of the output pipe 21. Pump 22 is electrically connected to the output of control switch group 6 at its input. Pump 7 is connected in series at the front right end of circulation pipe 24. Pump 7 is electrically connected to the output of control switch group 6 at its input. The operator operates control switch group 6 to make pump 22 run. Pump 22 draws seawater from the seawater tank 3 through output pipe 21 and inputs it into the aquaculture pond 1. During the flow of seawater in output pipe 21, the seawater first passes through grid 23. The seawater passing through grid 23 is then diverted by the grid 23. The opening is divided into multiple small water streams, which more closely resemble the water flow conditions in the natural environment, simulating the natural water flow environment in the ocean. This allows the pearl oysters in the culture tank to experience water flow stimulation similar to that in natural seawater, which helps the pearl oysters' mantle move normally, promotes the secretion of nacre, and improves the quality and yield of pearls. After a period of time, the worker operates the control switch group 6 to start the second water pump 7. The second water pump 7 will draw seawater from the culture tank 1 through the circulation pipe 24 and input it into the seawater tank 3, forming a circulation (appropriate seawater circulation can simulate the natural water flow environment in the ocean, allowing the pearl oysters to live in a relatively familiar water flow state, reducing the stress response caused by sudden environmental changes, promoting the normal movement of their mantle, and having a certain positive effect on nacre secretion and wound repair). It can simulate the natural water flow environment in the ocean, allowing the pearl oysters after the nucleus insertion surgery to live in a relatively familiar water flow state, promoting the normal movement of their mantle, and having a certain positive effect on nacre secretion and wound repair.

[0023] The working principle of the pearl farming cultivation box provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the worker pulls the cultivation frame cover 9 upward to temporarily separate the cultivation frame cover 9 from the cultivation frame 8. Then, the pearl oyster with the nucleus inserted is placed inside the cultivation frame 8. Next, a special pearl oyster fixing frame is used to fix the pearl oyster to ensure its stability. Then, the cultivation frame cover 9 is put back on the cultivation frame 8 to seal the cultivation frame 8. Then, the worker manually opens the valve 5 and injects seawater into the seawater tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4. At this time, the worker operates the control switch group 6 to make the water pump 22 run. The water pump 22 draws seawater from the seawater tank 3 through the outlet pipe 21 and inputs it into the cultivation pond 1. During the flow of seawater in the outlet pipe 21, the seawater first passes through the grid 23. The seawater passing through the grid 23 is divided into multiple small water streams by the diversion port on the grid 23. The multiple small water streams are closer to the natural environment. The water flow conditions are simulated to mimic the natural water flow environment in the ocean, allowing the pearl oysters to experience water flow stimulation similar to that in natural sea areas within the cultivation tank. This helps the pearl oysters' mantle move normally, promotes the secretion of nacre, and improves the quality and yield of pearls. After a period of time, the worker operates the control switch group 6 to start the water pump 7. The water pump 7 will pump seawater from the cultivation tank 1 into the seawater tank 3 through the circulation pipe 24, forming a circulation (appropriate seawater circulation can simulate the natural water flow environment in the ocean, allowing the pearl oysters to live in a relatively familiar water flow state, reducing the stress response caused by sudden environmental changes, promoting the normal movement of their mantle, and having a certain positive effect on nacre secretion and wound repair). The worker can directly put the feed into the cultivation frame 8, and during the seawater circulation process, the cultivation frame 8 welded to the base 10 remains stable.

[0024] It is worth noting that the water pump 7 and water pump 22 disclosed in the above embodiments can both be model XBD, and the control switch group 6 is provided with control buttons that correspond one-to-one with water pump 7 and water pump 22 and are used to control their switching.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
