Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically a transfer device for salmon and trout farming. Background Technology
[0002] Salmon and trout farming transport devices are crucial tools for ensuring the safe transfer of salmon and trout throughout all stages of the farming process. Salmon and trout are sensitive to their environment, and these devices are equipped with temperature control, oxygenation, and water quality regulation systems to maintain suitable water temperature, sufficient dissolved oxygen, and stable water quality, mimicking their native environment. They typically use soft, fish-friendly materials as containers to prevent scratching the fish during transport. Whether transferring fish between different ponds within the farm or transporting them to the market, these devices significantly improve the survival rate of salmon and trout during transport, reduce losses caused by transport stress, and strongly support the development of the salmon and trout farming industry. However, existing salmon and trout farming transport devices still have some problems in their use:
[0003] For example, the salmon and trout transfer device with application number 202320703729.X has the following technical solution: it includes a fish tank, a support bracket for the fish tank, and a fish guide pipe; one end of the fish tank is provided with a water inlet, and the other end is provided with a connection port. The fish tank has an unequal width structure, narrowing along the water flow direction; the support bracket is composed of several perforated angle steels, which are connected by screws; the fish guide pipe includes a straight fish guide pipe and a fish outlet hose connected to each other, and the connection port is connected to the straight fish guide pipe. However, the existing salmon and trout transfer device cannot flexibly adjust the height of the tank according to the amount of fish being transferred. When the amount of fish changes, it is difficult to maintain an ideal water level and fish activity space, increasing the stress response of the fish. At the same time, the angle of the transfer pipe is fixed, which cannot adapt to the height difference of different breeding ponds and transport vehicles, affecting the transfer efficiency. In addition, the installation of the transfer pipe is complicated, requiring a lot of manpower and time for assembly and debugging.
[0004] In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above issues, which led to the creation of this case.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design was developed based on existing transport devices used in salmon and trout farming. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transport device for salmon and trout farming, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to adjust the height of the water tank and the angle of the transport pipe according to the amount of fish being transported, and the inconvenience of installing the transport pipe.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A transport device for salmon and trout farming includes a culture box and a transport pipe. The culture box has a base at its bottom and a fish outlet on its right side. The transport pipe is connected to the right side of the fish outlet. Threaded sleeves are connected to both the left and right sides of the bottom of the culture box, and telescopic rods are installed at the corners of the bottom of the culture box. The culture box is located above the base to form a lifting structure. A flexible hose is connected to the left side of the transport pipe, and an installation plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the flexible hose. The installation plate is installed outside the fish outlet.
[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the base, and a worm gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor on the right side, with the right end of the worm gear rotatably connected to the right side of the inner side of the base.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is directly connected to the worm gear, which can efficiently transmit the power of the motor to the worm gear, providing a power source for the lifting and moving of the breeding box.
[0011] Preferably, worm wheels are connected and installed on both the left and right sides of the rear side of the worm, and the bottom of each worm wheel is rotatably connected to the base above it, and a threaded rod is connected and installed on the top of each worm wheel.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the worm and the worm wheel realizes the change of transmission direction. This cooperation enables the device to drive the threaded rod to rotate at a suitable speed and torque, providing stable and controllable power for the raising and lowering of the telescopic rod, which is conducive to the precise control of the height of the breeding box.
[0013] Preferably, all the threaded rods are threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded sleeves, and the threaded sleeves are installed between the telescopic rods at the bottom of the breeding box.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the threaded rod and the threaded sleeve can convert the rotational motion of the threaded rod into the linear motion of the threaded sleeve, thereby driving the telescopic rod to rise and fall. This structure is simple and reliable, and it is easy to adjust the height of the breeding box to adapt to different transportation scenarios.
[0015] Preferably, an elastic rope is connected and installed on the lower right side of the breeding box, and a sealing cover is connected and installed on the elastic rope, and the sealing cover forms a sealing structure for the fish outlet.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, the elastic rope and sealing cap at the fish outlet work together to effectively prevent the fish from escaping from the fish outlet during transportation. The elastic tension provided by the elastic rope can ensure that the sealing cap tightly seals the fish outlet, while it can be easily opened when the fish needs to be retrieved.
[0017] Preferably, a filter is snap-fitted onto the upper left side of the breeding box.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter is set above the breeding tank to filter the water flowing out of the breeding tank, remove impurities, feces and other pollutants from the water, ensure the cleanliness of the water during transportation, provide a relatively good living environment for salmon and trout, and reduce the stress response of the fish during transportation.
[0019] Preferably, the pipe on the left side of the mounting plate passes through the fish outlet, and the right side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the breeding box by bolts.
[0020] Using the above technical solution, the pipe on the left side of the mounting plate passes through the fish outlet and is fixedly connected to the right side of the breeding box by bolts. This connection method makes the transfer pipe firmly installed, easy to disassemble, convenient for the assembly and maintenance of the transfer device, and improves the efficiency of the transfer work.
