Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a float for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture is a production activity involving the breeding, cultivation, and harvesting of aquatic plants and animals under human control. It generally includes the entire process from seedling to aquatic product under artificial feeding and management. In a broader sense, it can also include the enhancement of aquatic resources. Aquaculture includes extensive farming, intensive farming, and high-density intensive farming. In my country's existing aquaculture industry, whether it is marine farming or freshwater farming in rivers and lakes, floating buoys are usually used to support the aquaculture cages, thereby achieving the goal of regionalized farming.

[0003] If a float remains on the water's surface for an extended period, it acts as an obstacle, blocking other floating objects. This causes a buildup of impurities around the float, which can negatively impact fish farming and lead to fish becoming entangled and dying. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a float for aquaculture that facilitates the removal of impurities, thus avoiding the problem of impurity accumulation affecting fish farming.

[0005] To facilitate the cleaning of impurities, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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] Reference Figures 1-5 A type of aquaculture float includes a float plate 1, with multiple float balls 101 fixedly connected to the side wall of the float plate 1, a debris removal box 102 fixedly connected to the bottom of the float plate 1, a debris removal component 2 installed on the inner wall of the debris removal box 102 for removing large debris from the water, and a feeding component 3 installed at the bottom of the debris removal box 102 for dispersing feed. It also includes:

[0022] The impurity removal component 2 includes a rotating tube 201, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the float 1 and passes through the impurity removal box 102. Square openings 202 are provided on both side walls of the impurity removal box 102. An elastic component 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the impurity removal box 102. A collision block 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic component 203. Multiple sets of winding rods 205 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating tube 201.

[0023] The side wall of the rotating tube 201 is fixedly connected to the extrusion column 206, the side wall of the collision block 204 is set to be arc-shaped, and the extrusion column 206 can fit against the side wall of the collision block 204;

[0024] It should be noted that the device floats on the water surface via a float plate 1 and a float ball 101. The impurity removal box 102 is located below the float plate 1. The rotating tube 201 drives the squeezing column 206 to rotate, causing the squeezing column 206 to squeeze the collision block 204, which moves the collision block 204 toward the side wall of the impurity removal box 102. At this time, the elastic component 203 is squeezed and generates a rebound force. At the same time, the square opening 202 enhances the water flow capacity inside and outside the impurity removal box 102. Some impurities are sucked into the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 102. The rotating winding rod 205 adsorbs large impurities onto the side wall of the rotating tube 201, thus completing the collection of impurities.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 The feeding component 3 includes a bucket 301, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating tube 201, and the side wall of the bucket 301 has multiple holes.

[0026] A mounting bracket 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating plate 1, a servo motor 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 302, and a rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 303.

[0027] The rotating shaft 304 passes through the rotating tube 201, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the barrel 301. A stirring plate 305 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 304 in the inner cavity of the barrel 301.

[0028] It should be noted that: when feed is put into the inner cavity of the rotating tube 201, the feed will then enter the inner cavity of the barrel 301. The servo motor 303 drives the rotating shaft 304 to rotate. Since the rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the barrel 301, the rotating shaft 304 can drive the barrel 301 and the rotating tube 201 to rotate. The rotating shaft 304 drives the stirring plate 305 to rotate to stir the feed. Combined with the rotating barrel 301, the feed can be evenly spread to the surroundings.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A tapered tube 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating tube 201 above the float plate 1, and a scraper 401 is fixedly connected to the end of the stirring plate 305. The scraper 401 is set in an arc shape and is in contact with the inner wall of the barrel 301.

[0030] A photovoltaic panel assembly 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating plate 1, and the photovoltaic panel assembly 402 is set in an inclined position.

[0031] The elastic component 203 includes a sleeve 403, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the impurity removal box 102. A sliding post 404 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 403. The sliding post 404 extends into the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 102. A spring 405 is fixedly connected between the sliding post 404 and the sleeve 403.

[0032] It should be noted that the tapered tube 4 facilitates the passage of feed through the inner cavity of the rotating tube 201. The stirring plate 305 drives the scraper 401 to rotate, which can clean the feed adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 301. The photovoltaic panel component 402 can convert light energy into kinetic energy to drive the servo motor 303. The elastic force of the spring 405 can make the sliding column 404 slide in the inner cavity of the sleeve 403.

[0033] Operation method: The servo motor 303 drives the rotating shaft 304 to rotate. Since the rotating shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the barrel 301, the rotating shaft 304 can drive the barrel 301 and the rotating tube 201 to rotate. Feed is put into the inner cavity of the rotating tube 201, and then the feed will enter the inner cavity of the barrel 301. The rotating shaft 304 drives the stirring plate 305 to rotate to stir the feed. Combined with the rotating barrel 301, the feed can be evenly spread to the surroundings.

[0034] The rotating tube 201 drives the squeezing column 206 to rotate, causing the squeezing column 206 to squeeze the collision block 204, which in turn moves the collision block 204 toward the side wall of the impurity removal box 102. At this time, the elastic component 203 is squeezed and generates a rebound force. At the same time, the square opening 202 enhances the water flow capacity inside and outside the impurity removal box 102, and some impurities are sucked into the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 102. The rotating winding rod 205 adsorbs large impurities onto the side wall of the rotating tube 201, thus completing the collection of impurities.

[0035] 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.
