Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture pond cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for seahorse aquaculture ponds. Background Technology

[0002] Seahorses produce feces during their growth, and there may also be leftover feed from artificial feeding. These substances form floating debris on the water's surface, along with algae and other impurities. If not cleaned up promptly, they will decompose in the water, producing harmful substances that affect water quality and the seahorses' health.

[0003] The current cleaning methods either involve manual retrieval or use electric retrieval boats carrying nets or filters to clean up floating debris on the pond surface. The retrieved floating debris needs to be manually lifted out of the water by the net or filter before being collected. After collection, the net or filter is put back for reuse.

[0004] The automatic cleaning equipment for seahorse breeding ponds provided in this solution, through structural improvements, allows the filter tank to be lifted out of the water surface using mechanical transmission after floating debris is retrieved, making collection convenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] (I) Technical Issues

[0006] The present invention aims to at least solve the problem in the prior art that after the salvage device has retrieved the floating object, the filter tank needs to be manually lifted out of the water for recycling.

[0007] (II) Technical Content

[0008] This solution provides an automatic cleaning system for seahorse breeding ponds, achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0009] The hull serves as a platform for the cleaning equipment.

[0010] The frame is fixed in the middle of the hull and has an open structure at the front and rear.

[0011] The filter tank is connected to a lifting mechanism installed inside the frame. The lifting mechanism controls the filter tank to swing down into the frame or up to the upper side of the frame. When the filter tank is inside the frame, its lower part is immersed in the pool water.

[0012] Preferred technical solution 1: The lifting mechanism consists of a group of lifting rods symmetrically distributed on the left rear wall of the frame.

[0013] Preferred technical solution 2: The lifting rod assembly includes rod one and rod two. The top ends of rod one and rod two are hinged to the inner wall of the frame, and the bottom ends of rod one and rod two are hinged to the side of the filter tank. A set of motors is fixed on the frame, and the output shaft of the motors is fixed to the top end of rod one, so that the reciprocating rotation of the motors can drive rod one to swing at a set angle.

[0014] Preferred technical solution 3: The bottom wall and rear wall of the filter tank are mesh plates, and the rear end of the bottom wall of the filter tank is inclined downward.

[0015] Preferred technical solution four: Vertical rods slide through the protrusions on both the left and right sides of the filter tank, and a front baffle is fixed between the tops of the two sets of vertical rods. When the front baffle moves down, it is inserted into the front opening of the filter tank from above to block the front opening.

[0016] The bottom end of the vertical rod is fixed to the floating plate. The buoyancy of the floating plate is used to push the front baffle upward when the filter tank is in the frame, so that the front baffle is pushed out from the front opening. As a replacement for the floating plate, a telescopic rod can be installed between the vertical rod and the bottom of the filter tank.

[0017] Preferred technical solution five: The lowest part of the middle and rear section of the bottom wall of the filter tank has a bottom sealing plate, which is hinged to open or close the material inlet at the lowest point of the filter tank.

[0018] (III) Technical Effects

[0019] The above structure gives this solution the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The height of the filter tank can be controlled by the lifting mechanism, which facilitates the drainage and collection of floating objects and eliminates the need for manual removal and placement of the filter tank.

[0021] 2. The structural features of the filter tank, combined with the impact direction of the water flow when the filter tank is lifted, enable the floating matter after drainage to be collected as much as possible in the middle and rear part of the filter tank.

[0022] 3. The front baffle can be used to block the front opening of the filter tank as needed to prevent some of the debris from leaking out during drainage. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figures 1-3 Automatic cleaning equipment for seahorse breeding ponds, including hull 1, frame 2 and filter tank 3;

[0033] The hull 1 provides a carrier for the cleaning equipment. The hull 1 can be assembled using the remote-controlled electric propeller hull 1 components in the existing technology, so that it can be remotely controlled and achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0034] The frame 2 is fixed in the middle of the hull 1. The frame 2 has an open structure at the front and rear, so that water can flow smoothly through the frame 2.

[0035] The filter tank 3 is connected to the lifting mechanism 4 set in the frame 2. The lifting mechanism 4 controls the filter tank 3 to swing down into the frame 2 or up to the side of the frame 2. The bottom wall and rear wall of the filter tank 3 are mesh plates, and the side wall can be a mesh plate or a non-mesh plate structure. The rear end of the bottom wall of the filter tank 3 is inclined downward, so that after the filter tank 3 is lifted out of the water, the floating objects will collect in the recessed part of the rear of the filter tank 3.

[0036] When the filter tank 3 is located inside the frame 2, its lower part is immersed in the pool water. At the same time, the opening of the filter tank 3 faces forward, and the lower part of the front opening is also immersed in the pool water. As the hull 1 moves forward, the filter tank 3 is driven to filter and collect floating objects on the pool surface.

[0037] When the filter tank 3 is lifted to the top of the frame 2 by the lifting mechanism 4, it is lifted off the surface of the pool, so that the pool water is completely filtered out, and only the floating objects remain in the filter tank 3. At this time, the floating objects in the filter tank 3 can be directly removed. After removal, the lifting mechanism 4 is used to drive the filter tank 3 to swing down and return it to the frame 2.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 4 consists of lifting rod groups 41 symmetrically distributed on the left rear wall of the frame 2. The top of the lifting rod group 41 is hinged to the upper middle part of the inner wall of the frame 2, and the bottom of the lifting rod group 41 is hinged to the filter tank 3. The height position change of the filter tank 3 can be stably controlled by the synchronous swing of the two lifting rod groups 41. The lifting rod group 41 includes rod one 411 and rod two 412. The top of rod one 411 and rod two 412 are respectively rotatably connected to two sets of convex shafts rotatably set on the inner wall of the frame 2. At the same time, the bottom of rod one 411 and rod two 412 are respectively rotatably connected to two sets of convex shafts rotatably set on the side of the filter tank 3. Rod one 411 and rod two 412 are parallel and of equal length, so that rod one 411 and rod two 412 form a parallelogram, thereby maintaining the horizontal stability of the filter tank 3 during the swinging process.

[0039] A set of motors 42 is fixed on the frame 2. The output shaft of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the convex shaft on a set of rods 411 on the frame 2, so that the reciprocating rotation of the motor 42 can drive the rods 411 to swing in a set angle.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 3-4 The automatic cleaning equipment for seahorse breeding ponds has vertical rods 5 that slide through the protrusions 31 on both sides of the filter tank 3. A lightweight front baffle 6 is fixed between the tops of the two sets of vertical rods 5. When the front baffle 6 moves down, it is inserted into the front opening of the filter tank 3 from above to block the front opening.

[0042] The bottom end of the vertical rod 5 is fixed to the floating plate 7. The buoyancy of the floating plate 7 is used to push the front baffle 6 upward when the filter tank 3 is in the frame 2, so that the front baffle 6 is pushed out from the front opening.

[0043] The cooperation between the float plate 7 and the front baffle 6 is such that, as the filter tank 3 is lifted out of the frame 2, the float plate 7 is gradually lifted away from the water surface, causing the front baffle 6 to gradually move down. Thus, after the float plate 7 leaves the water surface, the front baffle 6 completely closes the front opening, preventing some floating objects from leaking out of the front opening after being lifted out of the water.

[0044] During the lifting process of the filter tank 3, before it leaves the water, the impact of the water flow will cause the floating objects in the filter tank 3 to be washed away and accumulate in the middle and rear part of the filter tank 3. After the filter tank 3 is lifted out of the water, some of the floating objects in the filter tank 3 may roll forward because they lose the backward thrust. At this time, the front baffle 6 can play a certain role in front protection.

[0045] Of course, as a replacement for the floating plate 7, a telescopic rod 10 can be installed between the vertical rod 5 and the bottom of the filter tank 3. The top telescopic rod of the telescopic rod 10 is fixed to the front baffle 6, so that the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 10 controls the electric lifting and lowering of the front baffle 6. The telescopic rod 10 can be a commercially available waterproof telescopic rod that meets the specifications.

[0046] When the telescopic rod 10 is selected, the telescopic rod 10 can be simultaneously activated to retract and pull down the front baffle 6 into the front opening to close when the motor 42 starts and drives the filter tank 3 to lift. Compared with the setting of the floating plate 7, the telescopic rod 10 has better control and adjustability over the front baffle 6.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Based on Example 1 or 2, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4-5 The automatic cleaning equipment for seahorse breeding ponds has a bottom sealing plate 8 at the lowest point of the middle and rear part of the bottom wall of the filter tank 3. The bottom sealing plate 8 is hinged to open or close the material inlet at the lowest point of the filter tank 3. The bottom sealing plate 8 is locked to the material inlet by conventional locking parts, such as magnetic locks. That is, there are magnets that can attract each other on the bottom sealing plate 8 and in the material inlet. So after the filter tank 3 is lifted from the water surface, the bottom sealing plate 8 is opened, and the floating objects in the filter tank 3 are discharged from the material inlet to the collection bag that is placed below the material inlet in advance.

[0049] After the filter is removed, close the bottom sealing plate 8 again and start the motor 42 in the opposite direction to drive the rod 411 to swing down, so that the filter tank 3 moves down and resets.

[0050] The front left and right sides of the frame 2 are equipped with guide plates 9. The front ends of the two sets of guide plates 9 are far apart from each other and work together to collect floating objects into the frame 2 and then into the filter tank 3.

[0051] Regarding the power supply issue of this product, the hull 1 can be equipped with a built-in battery, which can then power the motor 42 and the telescopic rod 10. Alternatively, a separate battery can be installed on the frame 2 to power the motor 42 and the telescopic rod 10 independently.

[0052] It is worth noting that the motor 42, hull 1 and telescopic rod 10 mentioned in this embodiment, as well as their matching circuits and control switches, can also be provided by the manufacturer. The circuits, electronic components and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and there is no need to elaborate further.

[0053] The parts not disclosed in this utility model are all prior art, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail.

[0054] 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.
