Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seahorse breeding technology, and more specifically, to a sterilization and disinfection device for seahorse breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Seahorses are a collective term for several small, warm-water fish species belonging to the family Syngnathidae in the order Syngnathiformes. They are small marine animals, ranging from 5 to 30 centimeters in length. They are named for their heads, which are curved at nearly a right angle to their bodies. The head is shaped like a horse's head and forms an angle with the body. The snout is long and tubular, and the mouth is small. They have a single dorsal fin composed entirely of fin rays. Their eyes can move independently. Seahorses are slow-moving, yet they are very efficient at catching fast-moving and elusive copepods. They are distributed in the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, the Pacific Ocean, and Australia.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent application number CN201821156128.7 discloses a seahorse culture tank, including a drain outlet and a shell. An anti-slip plate is provided on the left side of the drain outlet, and a base is installed above the anti-slip plate. A spring is installed above the base, and a straight rod is installed inside the spring. A connecting block is fixed above the spring, and a water inlet is installed above the connecting block. An anti-corrosion layer is provided on the outer side of the shell, and the shell is located to the right of the water inlet. A top plate is installed on the top of the shell, and a connecting block is installed to the right of the top plate. An ultraviolet irradiation lamp is installed to the right of the connecting block. A stone layer is installed inside the shell, and a partition is provided above the stone layer. A water outlet is installed inside the partition, and a seahorse climbing rod is provided to the left side of the partition.

[0004] When raising seahorses, ultraviolet lamps are used for sterilization. However, the food and feces of the seahorses fall into the rock layer, making it difficult to clean them. Over time, the food and feces accumulate inside the rock layer, rotting and breeding bacteria. The ultraviolet light from the lamps cannot reach the food and feces inside the rock layer, making it difficult to sterilize them. This leads to a decline in water quality, affecting the growth of the seahorses. Furthermore, when changing the water, it is difficult to sterilize the replacement water, resulting in the new water containing more bacteria, which also affects the normal growth of the seahorses.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6A sterilization and disinfection device for seahorse farming includes a culture tank 1. A fixing ring 2 is fixedly connected inside the culture tank 1. A partition net 3 is installed on the fixing ring 2. The mesh diameter of the partition net 3 is smaller than the size of the seahorse, preventing the seahorse from swimming through the mesh to the bottom of the partition net 3. A water pumping pipe 4 is slidably installed on the culture tank 1. One end of the water pumping pipe 4 extends into the culture tank 1 and is connected to a water pumping tank 5. Two sliding grooves 9 are provided on the water pumping tank 5. Two limiting strips 10 are fixedly connected inside the culture tank 1. The two limiting strips 10 are parallel to the water pumping pipe 4 and slide along the two sliding grooves 9 respectively. The water tank 5 is positioned below the partition net 3 to facilitate support and positioning. A gap is provided between the bottom of the water tank 5 and the bottom of the culture tank 1. Multiple water inlets 6 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water tank 5. Multiple cleaning brushes 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the water tank 5. The bottom of the multiple cleaning brushes 7 is in contact with the bottom of the culture tank 1. An adjustment mechanism for moving the water pipe 4 is provided at the bottom of the culture tank 1. A first ultraviolet irradiation lamp 8 is installed at the top of the culture tank 1 to sterilize and disinfect the inside of the culture tank 1.

[0030] Specifically, the food and feces deposited by the seahorses fall through the mesh 3 to the bottom of the culture tank 1. The adjustment mechanism moves the water pumping pipe 4 and the water pumping tank 5. At the same time, the water, feces and deposited food are pumped away from the bottom of the culture tank 1 through the water pumping device connected to the outside of the water pumping pipe 4. This prevents the deposited food and feces from accumulating inside the culture tank 1, prevents the feces and food at the bottom that are not irradiated by the first ultraviolet lamp 8 from breeding bacteria, and prevents the food and feces from affecting the water quality, thus ensuring the normal growth of the seahorses.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The adjustment mechanism includes a motor 11. A convex groove 12 is provided at the bottom of the culture tank 1. A convex strip 13 is slidably arranged inside the convex groove 12. A connecting seat 14 is fixedly connected between the convex strip 13 and the water pumping pipe 4. An adjustment plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the convex strip 13 away from the connecting seat 14. A screw 16 is threadedly connected to the adjustment plate 15. A fixed seat 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the culture tank 1. The motor 11 is mounted on the fixed seat 17. The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the side end of the screw 16, which facilitates the water pumping pipe 4 to pull the water pumping tank 5 to move inside the culture tank 1. A limit plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side end of the screw 16, which limits the adjustment plate 15, the convex strip 13 and the water pumping pipe 4.

[0032] Specifically, the motor 11 drives the screw 16 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 16 causes the adjusting plate 15 to move along the direction of the screw 16. The adjusting plate 15 drives the convex strip 13, the connecting seat 14, the water pumping pipe 4 and the water pumping tank 5 to move, so that the water pumping tank 5 can move back and forth inside the culture tank 1.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 A water storage tank 19 is provided on one side of the culture tank 1. A water storage pipe 20 is connected to the bottom of the side of the water storage tank 19. Multiple second ultraviolet irradiation lamps 21 are installed at the top of the water storage tank 19 to facilitate disinfection of the water inside the water storage tank 19. Multiple support legs 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 19 to facilitate supporting the water storage tank 19 at a certain height so that the water storage pipe 20 is located on the upper side of the culture tank 1. A horizontal plate 23 is fixedly connected inside the culture tank 1. A vertical rod 24 is slidably installed on the horizontal plate 23 at a position corresponding to the water storage pipe 20. A plug 25 that cooperates with the water storage pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 24. A float 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 24 to facilitate sealing the water storage pipe 20. A valve 27 is installed on the water storage pipe 20 to facilitate control of the opening and closing of the water storage pipe 20.

[0034] Specifically, by setting up a water storage tank 19 and multiple second ultraviolet irradiation lamps 21, the water inside the water storage tank 19 is sterilized and disinfected by the multiple second ultraviolet irradiation lamps 21. During the process of pumping water out of the culture tank 1, it is convenient to replenish the culture tank 1 with sterilized and disinfected water in a timely manner. When changing the water in the culture tank 1, it is convenient to inject sterilized water into the culture tank 1, preventing water containing bacteria from entering the culture tank 1 and preventing unsterilized water from affecting the normal growth of seahorses. Through the setting of structures such as vertical rods 24, floats 26, and plugs 25, when the culture tank... When the water level inside the tank decreases, the float 26, vertical rod 24, and plug 25 move downwards under the action of gravity, causing the plug 25 to separate from the water storage pipe 20. The sterilized water inside the water storage tank 19 flows into the interior of the culture tank 1 through the water storage pipe 20. When the water level inside the culture tank 1 reaches the moving height position, the float 26 floats on the water surface, causing the float to drive the vertical rod 24 and plug 25 to move upwards, causing the plug 25 to insert into the interior of the water storage pipe 20 and block the water storage pipe 20. This facilitates timely replenishment of water into the interior of the culture tank 1, ensuring that the culture tank 1 has sufficient water for raising seahorses.

[0035] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0036] When feeding the seahorses, some food falls to the bottom of the culture tank 1. Food and feces fall to the bottom of the culture tank 1 through the mesh 3. When the culture tank 1 contains a certain amount of food and feces, the water pump connected to the outside of the water pumping pipe 4 is activated to pump away the water from the bottom of the culture tank 1. At the same time, the motor 11 drives the screw 16 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation of the screw 16 causes the adjusting plate 15 to move along the direction of the screw 16. The adjusting plate 15 drives the convex strip 13, the connecting seat 14, the water pumping pipe 4, and the water tank 5 to move, causing the water tank 5 to move back and forth inside the culture tank 1. During the movement, the inside of the culture tank 1 is cleaned by cleaning brush bristles 7. During the water pumping process, the cleaned feces and food are pumped away. When the water inside the culture tank 1 decreases, the float 26, vertical rod 24 and plug 25 move downward by gravity, so that the plug 25 is separated from the water storage pipe 20. The sterilized water inside the water storage tank 19 flows into the inside of the culture tank 1 through the water storage pipe 20. When the water inside the culture tank 1 reaches the moving height position, since the float 26 floats on the water surface, the float 26 drives the vertical rod 24 and plug 25 to move upward, so that the plug 25 is inserted into the inside of the water storage pipe 20 and blocks the water storage pipe 20.

[0037] When it is necessary to replace the water inside the water storage tank 19, close valve 27, remove the seahorse from the culture tank 1, then drain all the water from the culture tank 1, clean the inside of the culture tank 1, and then open valve 27. The sterilized water inside the water storage tank 19 flows into the culture tank 1 through the water storage pipe 20. When the water inside the culture tank 1 reaches the moving height position, the float 26 floats on the water surface. The float 26 drives the vertical rod 24 and the plug 25 to move upward, so that the plug 25 is inserted into the inside of the water storage pipe 20 and blocks the water storage pipe 20, thereby completing the water replacement.

[0038] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
