Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically a breeding ecological box that combines breeding and cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Bullfrogs, as a special economic animal with high protein and low fat content, have seen large-scale farming developed into a significant industry in my country. Traditional bullfrog farming methods, which mostly use single ponds or cement pools, suffer from the following technical drawbacks:

[0003] I. High-density aquaculture leads to severe eutrophication of water bodies, with rapid accumulation of metabolic wastes such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite, requiring frequent water changes and resulting in water waste.

[0004] Second, traditional farming lacks an ecological purification system, and the use of drugs can easily lead to food safety risks.

[0005] Third, the economic benefits of a single-species farming model are limited, and a resource recycling system has not been formed.

[0006] In existing technologies, bullfrogs, as amphibians, lack the three-dimensional activity space to simulate a natural ecosystem in traditional farming facilities, resulting in insufficient exercise that affects meat quality. Furthermore, the lack of effective resource utilization of farming waste causes environmental pollution and increases processing costs.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a breeding ecological box that integrates breeding and cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a breeding and farming ecological box that combines breeding and farming, so as to solve the technical problems of limited economic benefits and lack of resource recycling system in the above-mentioned single breeding model.

[0009] The solution adopted in this utility model is: a breeding and farming integrated ecological box, characterized in that it includes:

[0010] The breeding box is divided into a breeding activity area and a first planting area, and the bottom of the breeding box is equipped with a water outlet pipe.

[0011] The activity platform, located inside the breeding activity area, is made of a porous structural material;

[0012] The first planting area, located at the bottom of the breeding box, is evenly distributed with emergent plants;

[0013] The second planting area is set in the water of the breeding tank by a floating device. The floating device includes a float and several planting holes set on the float, and hydroponic plants are cultivated in the planting holes.

[0014] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the breeding box is provided with a vertical sliding groove, the float plate is slidably engaged with the sliding groove by a slider, and the top of the breeding box is provided with a limiting plate that engages with the sliding groove.

[0015] Preferably, an isolation baffle is detachably connected to the floating plate, and the planting hole is located within the area enclosed by the isolation baffle.

[0016] Preferably, the activity platform is made of stone chips pieced together in an alternating manner.

[0017] Preferably, the emergent plant is Alisma plantago-aquatica, the hydroponic plant is celery or lettuce, and the roots of the hydroponic plant extend into the water of the culture tank.

[0018] Preferably, the breeding box is equipped with an oxygenation system, which includes two sets of microporous aeration pipes symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the breeding box, and the aeration pipes are connected to the main air supply pipe.

[0019] Preferably, the main air supply pipe is connected to an oxygenation pump located outside the breeding tank.

[0020] Preferably, the top of the breeding box is equipped with a lighting device, which includes an LED light strip and an adjustable bracket.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] I. A gradient purification system is formed by two-layer planting areas: emergent plants at the bottom (such as water plantain) absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water through their developed root systems, inhibiting excessive algae growth; floating hydroponic areas in the middle layer of the water (celery, lettuce) use the roots of hydroponic plants to adsorb organic pollutants, and in conjunction with the oxygenation system, promote microbial degradation, effectively alleviating the problem of eutrophication and realizing the efficient recycling of water resources.

[0023] II. Ecological circular economy benefits: Constructing a closed-loop system of "breeding-purification-planting": Bullfrog excrement is decomposed by microorganisms and transformed into nutrients needed for plant growth. Hydroponic plants can be directly harvested as vegetable products, and emergent plants (Alisma plantago-aquatica) can be used as medicine or green manure, forming a value-added chain of aquaculture by-products.

[0024] III. Amphibian Ecological Activity Space: The activity platform adopts an interlaced structure of melon seed-shaped stones, which not only provides a terrestrial habitat for bullfrogs but also forms a biofilm attachment carrier to promote nitrification. The floating hydroponic area can be adjusted up and down with the water level through floating boards and chutes, creating a three-dimensional activity space for bullfrogs, increasing their daily exercise, improving muscle fiber density, and significantly improving meat quality.

[0034] The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of this utility model are described in conjunction with the appendix below. Figure 1-4 The detailed description of the embodiments will clearly demonstrate this. All structural details mentioned in the following embodiments are based on the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] This utility model provides a breeding and aquaculture ecological box that integrates breeding and cultivation, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the aquaculture ecological box includes a breeding box 1, an activity platform 2, a first planting area 12, a second planting area 14, and other structures.

[0037] Structure and function of the breeding box: Breeding box 1 is the main structure of the entire breeding ecosystem, and its interior is divided into a breeding activity area 11 and a first planting area 12. The breeding activity area 11 provides activity space for the cultured organisms (such as bullfrogs), allowing them to live and move in a relatively natural environment. The first planting area 12 is located at the bottom of breeding box 1, providing a suitable environment for the growth of emergent plants.

[0038] A water outlet pipe 13 is provided at the bottom of the breeding box 1. Its function is to facilitate the drainage of water in the box when it is necessary to change the water or clean the breeding box. The water outlet pipe 13 can be connected to the external drainage system to ensure smooth drainage.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the activity platform 2 is located inside the aquaculture activity area 11 and is made of porous material, specifically, it is constructed from interlocking pebbles. This porous structure provides diverse activity space for the farmed organisms and increases the contact area between the water and air, which is beneficial for dissolved oxygen in the water. Furthermore, the porous structure can provide attachment sites for beneficial microorganisms, promoting the decomposition and transformation of harmful substances in the water. For example, bullfrogs can rest and bask in the sun on activity platform 2, increasing their activity level and thus improving meat quality.

[0040] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the plant selection and function of the first planting area 12: Emergent plants are evenly distributed in the first planting area 12. In this embodiment, the emergent plant selected is Alisma plantago-aquatica. Alisma plantago-aquatica has a well-developed root system that can penetrate deep into the silt at the bottom of the water body to absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, thus purifying the water quality. At the same time, the growth of Alisma plantago-aquatica also adds a natural aesthetic to the ecological environment within the aquaculture tank, creating a more natural aquaculture environment.

[0041] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the structure and function of the second planting area and the floating device are as follows: The second planting area 14 is movably positioned in the water of the aquaculture tank 1 via the floating device 3. The floating device 3 includes a float 31 and several planting holes 310 disposed on the float 31. Hydroponic plants, such as celery or lettuce, are cultivated in the planting holes 310. The roots of the hydroponic plants extend into the water of the aquaculture tank 1, enabling them to directly absorb nutrients from the water and further purify the water quality. Moreover, these hydroponic plants can be harvested as a byproduct of aquaculture, increasing economic benefits.

[0042] To ensure the stability and adjustability of the float 31 in the water, a vertical groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the aquaculture tank 1. The float 31 slides in the groove 15 via a slider. When the water level in the aquaculture tank changes, the float 31 can slide within the groove 15 as the water level rises or falls, always keeping the roots of the hydroponic plants in contact with the water. Simultaneously, a limiting plate 16 is provided at the top of the aquaculture tank 1, which cooperates with the groove 15. The limiting plate 16 prevents the float 31 from rising too high and leaving the water, ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0043] A detachable baffle 311 is attached to the floating plate 31, and the planting hole 310 is located within the area enclosed by the baffle 311. The baffle 311 serves to prevent aquatic organisms from entering the planting area and damaging the hydroponic plants. Furthermore, its detachable design facilitates cleaning and replacement of the baffle 311, ensuring hygiene in the planting area and the normal growth of the plants. Figure 1 , 4As shown, this application provides one embodiment in which a set of isolation baffles 311 are used, and the floating plate 31 is set on the right side of the breeding box 1, and a planting area is formed by the inner side wall of the breeding box 1 and the isolation baffles 311.

[0044] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the oxygenation system consists of two sets of microporous aeration pipes 4 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the culture tank 1. These pipes 4 are connected to a main air supply pipe 5, which in turn is connected to an oxygen pump located outside the culture tank 1. When the oxygen pump operates, it delivers air through the main air supply pipe 5 to the microporous aeration pipes 4. The microporous aeration pipes 4 then release the air into the water in the form of tiny bubbles, increasing the dissolved oxygen content. The symmetrically arranged microporous aeration pipes 4 ensure a more uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen in the water, providing sufficient oxygen for the growth of cultured organisms and plants.

[0045] The lighting device and its function (not shown in the attached diagram): A lighting device is installed on the top of the cultivation box 1. This device includes LED light strips and an adjustable bracket. The LED light strips provide light to the plants inside the cultivation box, meeting their photosynthetic needs. The adjustable bracket allows for adjustment of the height and angle of the LED light strips according to the plant's growth and the needs of the cultivated organism, ensuring uniform and effective lighting. For example, at different stages of plant growth, the light intensity can be controlled by adjusting the height of the LED light strips, promoting healthy plant growth.

[0046] In summary, this utility model's integrated aquaculture ecological box, through its rational structural design and functional configuration, achieves an organic combination of aquaculture and planting, forming an ecological cycle system. This system not only effectively purifies water quality and reduces water waste, but also improves the quality of aquacultured organisms and increases economic benefits, demonstrating promising application prospects and significant potential for widespread adoption.

[0047] The above description is only for illustrating the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications that conform to the concept of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
