Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquatic organism collection technology, and in particular to a single-boat push net system for continuous collection of juvenile fish and large plankton. Background Technology

[0002] Biological monitoring is a crucial foundation for aquatic ecosystem monitoring, assessment, protection, and restoration. However, existing collection tools and methods present numerous inconveniences and limitations when collecting juvenile fish and macroplankton in narrow water bodies (such as small rivers and ditches) and lake sections. Traditional collection nets are difficult to operate in narrow water bodies, hindering continuous and efficient collection operations. Furthermore, their effectiveness is poor under varying depths and flow conditions, failing to meet the demands for precise research into the structure and dynamic changes of these biological communities. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a single-boat push net system for continuous collection of juvenile fish and large plankton.

[0004] The above-mentioned objectives of this utility model are achieved through the following technical means:

[0005] A single-boat push net system for continuous collection of juvenile fish and large plankton includes a hull with a fishing hole and a fixed support at the fishing hole. A lifting mechanism is mounted on the fixed support, and the lifting part of the lifting mechanism is fixed to an underwater support. An underwater drive motor is mounted on the underwater support, and the output shaft of the underwater drive motor is shaft-connected to the top of an adapter rod. The bottom end of the adapter rod is connected to a net opening ring, and the cone bottom opening of the cone-shaped net is connected to the net opening ring.

[0006] As mentioned above, the lifting mechanism is a screw jack or a waterproof electric lifting rod.

[0023] To facilitate understanding and implementation of this utility model by those skilled in the art, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown, a single-boat push net system for continuous collection of juvenile fish and large plankton includes a hull 1, on which a hull drive motor and a gearbox are installed. A propeller is installed at the stern of the hull 1. The rotating shaft of the hull drive motor is shaft-connected to the input shaft of the gearbox, and the output shaft of the gearbox is shaft-connected to the rotating shaft of the propeller. The hull 1 adopts a small and flexible boat design with sufficient stability to adapt to navigation conditions in narrow waters. The bow is pointed to reduce resistance when traveling in water.

[0025] The hull 1 is provided with a fishing hole 2, and a fixed bracket 3 is provided at the fishing hole 2. The lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the fixed bracket 3. The lifting part of the lifting mechanism 4 is fixed to the underwater bracket 5. The underwater bracket 5 is provided with an underwater drive motor 6. The output shaft of the underwater drive motor 6 is shaft-connected to the top of the adapter rod 7. The bottom end of the adapter rod 7 is connected to the net mouth ring 8. The cone bottom opening (large end opening) of the cone net 9 is connected to the net mouth ring 8, that is, the edge of the cone bottom opening of the cone net 9 is covered and fixed on the net mouth ring 8. The cone tip opening (small end opening) of the cone net 9 is connected to the collection bag 10.

[0026] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 4 may be a waterproof electric telescopic rod (the waterproof electric telescopic rod is an existing commercial module). The waterproof electric telescopic rod is easy to use, can be directly driven by DC power, and is suitable for situations with a small lifting stroke.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 4 can be a screw jack, with the bottom connecting end of the screw serving as the lifting part. When a screw jack is selected for the lifting mechanism 4, at least three screw jacks are mounted on the fixed support 3. The bottom connecting ends of the screws of the three screw jacks are respectively adapted and connected to the underwater support 5. For example, the bottom connecting end of the screw of the screw jack is connected to the underwater support 5 through a double-direction thrust ball bearing. The bottom connecting end of the screw of the screw jack is fixed to the inner ring of the double-direction thrust ball bearing, and the outer ring of the double-direction thrust ball bearing is connected to the underwater support 5. The double-direction thrust ball bearing can bear a certain axial thrust force, thereby enabling the screw to rotate relative to the underwater support 5, but the screw cannot move axially relative to the underwater support 5. When the screw of the screw jack moves up and down, it drives the underwater support 5 to move up and down through the bottom connecting end. Screw jacks are suitable for situations with a large lifting stroke.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the adapter rod 7 includes a vertical rod and a horizontal rod. The top end of the vertical rod 701 is connected to the output shaft of the underwater drive motor 6, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 701 is connected to one end of the horizontal rod 702. The other end of the horizontal rod 702 is fixed to the mesh ring 8. When the underwater drive motor 6 drives the adapter rod 7 to rotate, it causes the mesh ring 8 to rotate around the vertical rod 701, thereby realizing the harvesting of juvenile fish and large plankton.

[0029] The underwater drive motor 6, adapter rod 7, net opening ring 8, conical net 9, and collection bag 10 constitute a collection unit. In some embodiments, there are multiple collection units (two in this embodiment), and the mesh size of the conical net (9) in each collection unit is different. The conical net 9 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant netting. The mesh size is selected according to the size of the target organisms to be collected, and it can be used to catch juvenile fish and large plankton. Preferably, a support ring 11 is provided near the net opening ring 8 of the conical net 9. The support ring 11 and the conical net 9 are tied together with silk thread. The support ring 11 is used to open the large end opening of the conical net 9 to ensure that the large end opening of the conical net 9 remains open in the water. The net body gradually narrows into a cone shape to the collection bag 10 at the rear. The collection bag 10 and the cone tip opening (small end opening) of the conical net 9 are detachably connected.

[0030] In this embodiment, a water depth sensor is installed on the underwater support 5, which can provide real-time information on the current water depth for fishing. The water depth sensor can be a pressure-type water depth sensor or an ultrasonic underwater ranging sensor.

[0031] It should be noted that the embodiments described in this utility model are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
