[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-channel control structure for use in aquaculture sites, provided in an embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0023] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-channel control structure for aquaculture sites. Its main innovation lies in the design of the structure and circuit.

[0024] Example

[0025] This embodiment provides a multi-channel control structure for use in aquaculture sites, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a distribution box 1 and a control module 2, a backup power switch 3, a main power switch 4, a control contactor 5, and a controller switch 6 installed in the distribution box 1. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the backup power switch 3, the controller switch 6, and the control contactor 5. The control contactor 5 is electrically connected to the backup power switch 3, the main power switch 4, and the controller switch 6. The controller switch 6 is also electrically connected to the main power switch 4. The controller switch 6 is the switch corresponding to the control module 2.

[0026] Distribution box 1 is a 50*60*18cm horizontal box; the material is 201 stainless steel with a thickness of 0.4mm; the main power switch 4 is a Delixi D-type (63A); the controller switch 6 is a Delixi C-type (8A); the backup power switch 3 is a Delixi C-type (8A); and the control contactor 5 is a Chint CJX2-1210-380V.

[0027] When the control module 2 is operating normally, it supplies power to all control contactors 5 through the control module 1. When the control module 2 fails, it sends a fault signal to the controller switch 6 to disconnect the control contactor 5 from the controller switch 6, thereby disconnecting the power supply signal from the control module 2 to the control contactor 5. At this time, the control contactor 5 connects to the backup power switch 3, so that the backup power switch 3 supplies power to all control contactors 5.

[0028] When the control module 2 is running normally, the control module 2 sends a control signal to the controller switch 6. The controller switch 6 connects to the control contactor 5 and disconnects the control contactor 5 from the backup power switch 3, so that the control module supplies power to all control contactors 5.

[0029] The distribution box 1 also houses a high-voltage control circuit, which is electrically connected to the control module 2, backup power switch 3, main power switch 4, control contactor 5, and controller switch 6. This high-voltage control circuit not only manages power distribution but also provides overload and short-circuit protection, equipment control, monitoring and alarm functions, lightning protection, and fault protection, ensuring the stable operation and reliability of the entire system. In this embodiment, the high-voltage control circuit is removed from the PCB board and placed inside the distribution box 1, thus separating the control module 2 from the high-voltage control circuit. The high-voltage components (such as circuit breakers and contactors) are primarily responsible for power distribution and the physical switching of equipment, while the control module 2 handles the intelligent control logic. This approach achieves both scalability and maintainability of the high-voltage components within the distribution box and reduces maintenance convenience and reliability.

[0030] This embodiment employs a fuse blowing mechanism, and the output is automatically turned on after the fuse blows, ensuring that the output device will not suffer economic losses in production due to power outages caused by equipment failure.

[0031] Control module 2, model 2C-12A-FP01, is equipped with an RS485 expansion interface. This interface connects to external devices at the aquaculture site (such as digital sensors like dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, level, and pressure sensors) to receive data on dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, level, and pressure. Control module 2 features a 3-digit LED display; this displays the collected sensor data for easy user observation. A grounding terminal connects to a grounding pin for lightning protection.

[0032] Control module 2 can support up to 8 control outputs and each output can support up to 22KW.

[0033] It should be noted that the control module with model number 2C-12A-FP01 is a product publicly sold by our company, and can be found in our company's mini-program.

[0034] It should be noted that the control modules involved in this embodiment are all existing models of equipment. The existing control modules themselves can achieve the above functions. This embodiment does not involve any improvement to the program itself, but only to the hardware. Therefore, this embodiment is an improvement to the hardware structure of the product.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power supply for the external device is provided by the control contactor 5. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the external device at the breeding site, this embodiment can quickly switch to the backup circuit in case of control module failure, ensuring the user's power demand and preventing the output device from causing economic losses in production due to power failure, thus improving the stability of the equipment.

[0036] The multi-channel control structure in this embodiment is used to monitor key parameters in the aquaculture environment, such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, liquid level, and pressure. Data is collected through an integrated sensor network, and the operation of relevant equipment is automatically adjusted to maintain optimal aquaculture conditions. Furthermore, monitoring and adjustment reduce manual intervention, lowering energy consumption and costs. Simultaneously, the system's high reliability and remote monitoring capabilities improve the convenience and safety of aquaculture management.

[0037] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
