Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological floating bed technology, and in particular to an ecological floating bed for catfish farming ponds. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with rapid economic development, unreasonable lifestyles and production methods have led to increasingly serious eutrophication in the waters of channel catfish farming ponds. Ecological restoration has become a popular method for improving water quality, and artificial ecological floating beds have become a commonly used means of ecological restoration due to their adaptability, stability, durability, low cost, and aesthetic appeal.
[0003] Currently, hydroponics technology is used in channel catfish farming ponds to grow plants on the water surface. These plants absorb large amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus through their roots, promoting the degradation of organic pollutants. However, existing floating beds can only grow aquatic plants and cannot grow xerophytic plants, resulting in low utilization of the pond water area. Furthermore, existing floating beds drift freely within the pond, their location is not fixed, and they are difficult to move to designated areas. Moreover, once the floating beds are removed from the shore, the plants are inconvenient to replace and maintain. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides an ecological floating bed for channel catfish farming ponds, which solves the problems of traditional ecological floating beds for channel catfish farming ponds, such as the limited variety of plants that can be planted, low utilization rate of the pond water area, and difficulty in controlling the movement of the floating bed due to its free floating.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the positioning plate, an adjusting cylinder is provided in the mounting hole, a float is provided in the adjusting cylinder, an upper cover plate is provided at the upper end of the adjusting cylinder, a lower cover plate is provided at the lower end, a spring is provided at the bottom of the float, the upper end of the spring is elastically fixed to the bottom of the float, and the lower end is elastically fixed to the lower cover plate. A threaded adjusting hole is provided on the upper cover plate, an adjusting screw is provided in the threaded adjusting hole, a handle is provided at the upper end of the adjusting screw, and the lower end of the adjusting screw abuts against the top of the float.
[0008] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the regulating cylinder are evenly covered with water passage holes.
[0009] Furthermore, two power mechanisms are provided at the front and rear ends of the pallet. Each power mechanism includes a fixed plate, a mounting plate, a motor, a drive shaft, a bearing, a half shaft, helical blades, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The fixed plate is fixedly mounted on the pallet, and the mounting plate is located at the bottom of the fixed plate. The drive shaft is located on one side of the mounting plate and is rotatably connected to the bearing on the side of the mounting plate.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] See Figure 1-6 An ecological floating bed for catfish farming ponds includes a floating plate 1, a horizontal tray 2 on top of the floating plate 1, and multiple support pillars 3 fixedly connected to the floating plate 1 at the bottom of the tray 2. Two uprights 4 are set on both sides of the tray 2, and a bracket 5 is inclinedly set on each upright 4. The bracket 5 is a cross-shaped support plate. One of the support plates of the bracket 5 is fixedly connected to an adjusting sleeve fitted on the upright 4. A solar panel 6 is fixedly set on the bracket 5. A water pump 7 is fixedly set on the tray 2. The water pump 7 is located below the solar panel 6 to prevent rain. The water inlet of the water pump 7 is connected to a water pumping pipe 101, and the water outlet of the water pump 7 is connected through a water supply pipe 102. The upper end of the water supply pipe 102 is connected to a sprinkler head 8 set on the top of the tray 2 through a spray pipe 103. The sprinkler head 8 is located above the middle of the tray 2 and is set downwards to facilitate irrigation of the plants in the tray 2.
[0036] In the above embodiment, two layers of plants can be planted using the floating plate 1 and the tray 2. The floating plate 1 is in direct contact with the fishpond surface and can be planted with aquatic plants such as canna lilies, water lilies, cattails, umbrella sedges, ginger lilies, red lotus grass, fine-leaved sedges, arrowhead, wild taro, purple taro, loosestrife, water plantain, calamus, reeds, water celery, water spinach, irises, water lilies, and foxtail grass. The tray 2 can be filled with soil and used to plant dryland plants such as flowers or vegetables. The floating plate 1 and tray 2 are used to cultivate the catfish in the fishpond. Planting vegetation can purify water quality, degrade COD, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. in the water, create a habitat for organisms (fish and birds), improve the landscape, restore the ecology, green the environment, and also produce a wave-damping effect, which protects the shore. Water from the catfish farming pond is pumped into tray 2 by water pump 7 to irrigate the plants planted in tray 2. Solar panels 6 receive sunlight to generate electricity, which is stored in the energy storage battery at the bottom of tray 2 and used to power water pump 7, resulting in good energy-saving effect.
[0037] Specifically, see Figure 1 , 2 The floating plate 1 is assembled from multiple floating plate units. Each floating plate unit includes a square positioning plate 12 and a planting bucket 13. Multiple positioning holes are provided around the positioning plate 12. The planting bucket 13 is placed in each positioning hole. The planting bucket 13 is fitted inside the positioning hole and fixedly connected to the positioning plate 12. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the bottom surface of the planting bucket 13 so that the roots of the plants with well-developed root systems planted in the planting bucket 13 can grow outward through the ventilation holes. At the same time, water from the catfish farming pond can also enter the planting bucket 13 through the ventilation holes to cultivate the plants.
[0038] For more details, see Figure 2 , 4A vertically extending mounting hole is provided in the center of the positioning plate 12, with the positioning hole located around the perimeter of the mounting hole. An adjusting cylinder 14 is installed inside the mounting hole, fitting snugly within the mounting hole and fixedly connected to the positioning plate 12. A float 15 is installed inside the adjusting cylinder 14. The float 15 is a cylindrical hollow cylinder filled with gas, allowing it to move up and down along the adjusting cylinder 14. The float 15 floats freely upon contact with the water surface. An upper cover plate 141 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the adjusting cylinder 14, and a lower cover plate 142 is fixedly installed at the lower end. A vertically placed spring 16 is installed at the bottom of the float 15, with its upper end elastically fixed to the bottom of the float 15. The lower end is elastically fixed to the lower cover plate 142. The middle of the upper cover plate 141 is provided with a vertical threaded adjustment hole. An adjustment screw 17 is provided in the threaded adjustment hole. The adjustment screw 17 is threadedly engaged with the threaded adjustment hole. The upper end of the adjustment screw 17 is located above the upper cover plate 141, and the lower end is located inside the adjustment cylinder 14. A handle 18 is provided at the upper end of the adjustment screw 17. The lower end of the adjustment screw 17 abuts against the top of the float 15. By rotating the handle 18, the adjustment screw 17 can be driven to move downward to press against the float 15. The float 15 compresses the spring 16, and the position of the float 15 is lowered. The adjustment positioning plate 12 is adjusted to a suitable height from the fish pond liquid surface.
[0039] Preferably, see Figure 2 , 4 The side wall of the regulating cylinder 14 is evenly covered with water passage holes 143. Water in the fishpond can be introduced into the regulating cylinder 14 through the water passage holes 143 to generate buoyancy in the float 15, so that the float 1 can float stably on the surface of the fishpond.
[0040] As an improved implementation of the above embodiments, see Figure 1 , 35, 6. Two power mechanisms 9 are set at the front and rear ends of the tray 2. Each power mechanism 9 includes a fixed plate 91, a mounting plate 92, a motor 93, a transmission shaft 94, a bearing 95, a half shaft 96, a spiral blade 97, a first bevel gear 98, and a second bevel gear 99. The fixed plate 91 is horizontally fixed on the tray 2. The bottom of the fixed plate 91 is fixedly connected to the vertically mounted mounting plate 92. The vertically mounted transmission shaft 94 is set on the side of the mounting plate 92. The transmission shaft 94 is rotatably connected to two bearings 95 fixedly set on the side of the mounting plate 92. The motor 93 is fixedly set on the top of the fixed plate 91. The output shaft of the motor 93 passes downward through the vertical guide hole on the fixed plate 91 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission shaft 94 through a coupling. The lower end of the transmission shaft 94 is coaxially fixedly set with the first bevel gear 98. The lower end of the mounting plate 92 is set with a horizontal mounting hole. The half shaft 96 is rotatably set in the mounting hole. The half shaft 96 is rotatably connected to the bearing in the mounting hole. One end of the half shaft 96 is coaxially fixedly set to be connected with the first bevel gear. The second bevel gear 99 engages with the half-shaft 96, and three spiral blades 97 are arranged circumferentially on the other side wall. The motor 93 drives the transmission shaft 94 to rotate, which in turn drives the half-shaft 96 to rotate. The rotation of the half-shaft 96 drives the spiral blades 97 to act on the water in the fishpond, which can drive the float 1 to move in a specific direction, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the float 1. Alternatively, a filter cylinder 90 is installed outside both power mechanisms 9. The front and rear end covers of the filter cylinder 90 are provided with filter through holes. The filter cylinder 90 is coaxially arranged with the half-shaft 96 and is covered outside the spiral blades 97, the first bevel gear 98, and the second bevel gear 99. The transmission shaft 94 and the mounting plate 92 extend from top to bottom through the through hole on the top side wall of the filter cylinder 90 into the interior of the filter cylinder 90. The top side wall of the filter cylinder 90 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 92. The transmission shaft 94 is rotatably connected to the through hole on the top of the filter cylinder 90. The filter cylinder 90 prevents the power mechanism 9 from being disturbed by aquatic plants and fish.
[0041] Specifically, see Figure 2 The two adjacent positioning plates 12 are connected by a connecting plate 11 and bolts. The two ends of the connecting plate 11 overlap the two positioning plates 12 that need to be connected. The two ends of the connecting plate 11 are fixedly connected to the two adjacent positioning plates 12 by two bolts. The two adjacent positioning plates 12 can also be fixed together by cable ties or steel wires.
[0042] In the above embodiments, it can be understood that the water pump 7 and the motor 93 are electrically connected to the energy storage battery. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel 6 is stored in the energy storage battery through the solar panel controller and supplied to the electrical equipment. The water pump 7 and the motor 93 are connected to the controller through cables. The controller and the energy storage battery are fixed together inside the power distribution cabinet at the bottom of the tray 2. The controller can be wirelessly controlled by a remote control to start the water pump 7 and the motor 93.
[0043] As can be seen from the above technical solution, in use, hydrophilic plants are planted in the four planting buckets 13 of the floating bed 1, and drought-tolerant plants are planted in the tray 2 with soil. Then, the entire floating bed is placed on the surface of the fishpond. The power mechanism 9 at the rear of the floating bed is activated by the remote control controller. The motor 93 drives the transmission shaft 94 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft 94, the first bevel gear 98 and the second bevel gear 99 drive the half shaft 96 to rotate. The rotation of the half shaft 96 drives the spiral blades 97 to act on the water in the fishpond, causing the floating bed 1 to move towards the center of the fishpond. After moving to the designated position, the electric current is turned off. When machine 93 stops working, and when it is necessary to maintain the floating platform 1, the power mechanism 9 at the front end of the floating platform can be activated by remote control, which can move the floating platform 1 to the shore for easy maintenance by staff. When it is necessary to irrigate the drought-resistant plants in the tray 2, the water pump 7 can be activated by remote control. The water pump 7 draws water from the fishpond into the sprinkler pipe 103 through the water intake pipe 101 and the water supply pipe 102, and then sprays the plants in the tray 2 through the sprinkler head 8 for irrigation. Planting two layers of plants can improve the space utilization of the fishpond. The floating platform 1 can be moved at will, which is convenient for management.
