Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plankton collection technology, specifically relating to a plankton net collection and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Plankton, typically comprising phytoplankton and zooplankton, is a vital component of aquatic ecosystems, playing a crucial ecological role in oceans, freshwater lakes, and rivers. It forms the basis for energy flow, material transport, and information transmission within aquatic ecosystems. Plankton acts as a link between trophic levels and serves as a food source for higher trophic levels such as crustaceans and fish. Therefore, the investigation and analysis of plankton is a current focus in aquatic ecology and an important component of fisheries resource surveys.

[0003] After the plankton harvesting is completed, the plankton tends to adhere to the surface of the net. During collection, workers need to hold a water hose and rinse the net from top to bottom at multiple angles for a long time, shaking the net during rinsing to aid in the collection of plankton. This method is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not easy to completely and effectively rinse the net, thus affecting the efficiency and accuracy of plankton collection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for collecting and cleaning planktonic nets to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plankton net collection and cleaning device, comprising a support ring, with multiple hanging ropes equidistantly arranged on the top surface of the support ring, and a collection net body clamped to the bottom surface of the support ring. An annular groove is formed inside the support ring, and an annular water pipe is arranged inside the annular groove.

A shaking spring is clamped to one end of the nozzle, and the other end of the shaking spring is clamped to the bottom of the collection net body. When the nozzle changes its spray angle, the nozzle swings, causing the shaking spring to cause the surface of the collection net body to shake.

[0006] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a locking post, which is rotatably disposed on both sides of the nozzle. A rotating rod is fixedly installed at one end of the locking post, and a hinge seat is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod.

[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a driving ring, the upper surface of the support ring has a threaded groove, the lower surface of the driving ring has a threaded ring fixedly installed, the threaded ring is coaxially arranged with the support ring through a threaded connection, the outer circumferential surface of the driving ring has an annular groove, the driven ring is rotatably connected to the inside of the annular groove, a plurality of fixing plates are arranged in an annular array on the outer circumferential surface of the driven ring, and a column is fixedly installed on the lower end face of each fixing plate. The column is slidably connected to the upper end surface of the support ring, and an adjusting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the fixing plate away from the driven ring through a hinge seat. The other end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the push frame through a hinge seat. The two ends of the push frame are slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the drive ring is provided with a ring array of fixing posts, and the number of fixing posts is several, with anti-slip grooves formed on the outer surface of the fixing posts.

[0011] Preferably, clamping members are slidably connected to both sides of the support ring, one end of the clamping member is tightly attached to the side surface of the connector, and fixing members are fixedly installed on both sides of the clamping member. A guide post is slidably connected inside the fixing member. The guide post is fixedly installed on the side surface of the support ring through the support member. A limit spring is fixedly installed on the side surface of the fixing member, and one end of the limit spring is fixedly installed on one end of the guide post.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: The driving component moves the nozzle on the support to change the spray angle. Simultaneously, when the nozzle changes its spray angle, its oscillation causes a shaking spring to vibrate the surface of the collection net. Workers input external water into the annular water pipe through the inlet pipe, and then spray the water onto the surface of the collection net through the nozzles. This eliminates the need for manual water pipe handling, replacing traditional manual rinsing and reducing the workload of workers. During the cleaning process, workers can adjust the spray angle, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and quality. The rotation of the nozzle, along with the vibration spring, vibrates the surface of the collection net, assisting the cleaning components in cleaning the net and ensuring cleaning quality. This results in a clean collection net, improving the efficiency and accuracy of plankton collection. 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. 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] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5The device for collecting and cleaning plankton nets shown includes a support ring 1. Multiple hanging ropes 2 are equidistantly arranged on the top surface of the support ring 1. A collection net body 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the support ring 1. An annular groove 11 is formed inside the support ring 1, and an annular water pipe 111 is arranged inside the annular groove 11. Multiple connecting pipes 112 are fixedly installed in an annular array on the surface of the annular water pipe 111. A corrugated hose 113 is fixedly installed at one end of each connecting pipe 112. A nozzle 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the corrugated hose 113. Support mechanisms 5 are arranged on both sides of the nozzle 4, and the nozzle 4 is fixed to the outer surface of the support ring 1 through the support mechanisms 5. A driving component 6 is coaxially arranged inside the support ring 1, and the driving component 6 drives the nozzle 4 to change its spray angle on the support mechanism 5. A shaking spring 7 is attached to one end of the nozzle 4, and the other end of the shaking spring 7 is attached to the bottom of the collection net body 3. When the nozzle 4 changes its spray angle, the nozzle 4 swings, causing the shaking spring 7 to shake the surface of the collection net body 3.

[0022] Specifically, the support mechanism 5 includes a locking post 51, which is rotatably mounted on both sides of the nozzle 4. A rotating rod 52 is fixedly installed at one end of the locking post 51, and a hinge seat 8 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 52. A fixing frame 53 is fixedly installed on one side of the hinge seat 8 and is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support ring 1.

[0023] Specifically, the driving component 6 includes a driving ring 61, a threaded groove on the upper surface of the support ring 1, a threaded ring 62 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the driving ring 61, the threaded ring 62 being coaxially arranged with the support ring 1 via a threaded connection, an annular groove on the outer circumferential surface of the driving ring 61, a driven ring 63 being rotatably connected to the inside of the annular groove, a plurality of fixing plates 64 being arranged in an annular array on the outer circumferential surface of the driven ring 63, and a column 65 being fixedly installed on the lower end face of each fixing plate 64, the column 65 being slidably connected to the upper end surface of the support ring 1, an adjusting rod 66 being rotatably connected to the end of the fixing plate 64 away from the driven ring 63 via a hinge seat 8, the other end of the adjusting rod 66 being rotatably connected to the middle of the push frame 67 via the hinge seat 8, and the two ends of the push frame 67 being slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 52 respectively.

[0024] Working principle and process: External water is pumped into the annular water pipe 111, then into the corrugated hose 113, and sprayed out through the nozzle 4. When the spray angle of the nozzle 4 needs to be adjusted, the operator rotates the drive ring 61 via the fixed column 611. The drive ring 61 drives the threaded ring 62 below to rotate. The threaded ring 62 rotates and moves downward inside the threaded groove, causing the drive ring 61 to move downward synchronously. The drive ring 61 drives the driven ring 63 inside to move downward through the annular groove. The driven ring 63 is guided by the column 65, so it does not rotate but slides vertically synchronously with the drive ring 61. The driven ring 63 drives the fixed plate 64 to move synchronously. Plate 64 drives adjusting rod 66 to move downwards, which in turn drives push frame 67 to move downwards and slide on the surface of rotating rod 52. This causes rotating rod 52 to tilt and causes nozzle 4 to tilt synchronously, eliminating the need for manual water hose cleaning. This replaces the traditional manual rinsing method, reducing the workload of staff. During the cleaning process, staff can adjust the angle of nozzle 4, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and quality. As nozzle 4 rotates, the vibration spring 7 causes the surface of collection net 3 to vibrate, assisting the cleaning components in cleaning the collection net 3 and ensuring cleaning quality. This results in a clean collection net 3, improving the efficiency and accuracy of plankton collection.

[0025] Specifically, the upper surface of the drive ring 61 is provided with a ring array of fixing posts 611, and there are several fixing posts 611. The outer surface of the fixing posts 611 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0026] Specifically, an inlet pipe 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the annular water pipe 111, and a connecting flange 91 is fixedly installed at one end of the inlet pipe 9.

[0027] The staff connects the external pump body to the inlet pipe 9 via the connecting flange 91, and then inputs water into the ring water pipe 111 through the inlet pipe 9 to facilitate the cleaning operation.

[0028] Specifically, the lower surface of the support ring 1 is provided with an installation groove 13, and the upper surface of the collecting net body 3 is provided with a connector 31, which cooperates with the installation groove 13.

[0029] Specifically, clamping members 10 are slidably connected to both sides of the support ring 1. One end of the clamping member 10 is tightly attached to the side surface of the connector 31. Fixing members 101 are fixedly installed on both sides of the clamping member 10. A guide post 102 is slidably connected inside the fixing member 101. The guide post 102 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the support ring 1 through the support member 103. A limit spring 104 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the fixing member 101. One end of the limit spring 104 is fixedly installed on one end of the guide post 102.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble the collection net 3, first separate one end of the shaking spring 7 from the bottom of the collection net 3 to facilitate subsequent disassembly. Then, the operator pulls the clamping part 10 outward. The clamping part 10 drives the fixing part 101 to slide on the outer surface of the guide post 102. During the sliding process, the limiting spring 104 on one side is squeezed. When the clamping part 10 is separated from the side surface of the connecting part 31, the collection net 3 and the connecting part 31 can be removed from the inside of the mounting groove 13. When installation is required, the reverse is true. When the collection net 3 is damaged, only the collection net 3 needs to be replaced, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
