Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular relates to a device for cultivating crayfish fry in cold regions. Background Technology
[0002] Crayfish, scientifically known as Procambarus clarkii, belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, class Crustacea, order Decapoda, family Procambaridae, and genus Procambarus. It is one of the most widely farmed and economically valuable freshwater shrimp species in my country, ranking fourth in terms of production among freshwater aquaculture species. However, due to the limitations of cold climate conditions, crayfish cannot overwinter and reproduce naturally, and the shortage of seedlings is the main bottleneck restricting the development of the cold-region crayfish industry.
[0003] To address the issue of crayfish seedling supply, Northeast China has attempted to purchase large-sized seedlings from major crayfish-producing areas in the south. While the survival rate of the seedlings is high during transportation, it drops significantly after being released into ponds, failing to meet the demands of large-scale farming. Furthermore, local efforts have been made to build high-standard, insulated greenhouses for self-breeding. Although these experiments have achieved some success, the high construction and operating costs have prevented widespread adoption. Therefore, a low-cost, high-efficiency solution is urgently needed to overcome the technical bottleneck of crayfish seedling shortages in cold regions and promote the sustainable development of the industry. Utility Model Content

The main gas supply pipeline is connected to the Roots blower, which is installed inside the greenhouse.
[0008] Furthermore, ventilation curtains are installed on both sides of the greenhouse, and the ventilation curtains are connected to the film rolling mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, the film rolling mechanism includes a crossbar and a film rolling device, with the ventilation curtain rolled onto the crossbar and the crossbar connected to the film rolling device.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the greenhouse is equipped with a sunshade curtain, and both sides of the sunshade curtain are connected to a folding mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, the folding mechanism includes a lead screw, a frame, and sliders. Two sliders are symmetrically installed inside the frame. The lead screw is installed inside the frame, and the two sliders are threadedly connected to the lead screw. The lead screw has double reverse-rotation threads on both sides.
[0012] Furthermore, the lead screw is connected to the motor.
[0013] Furthermore, sliding doors are installed at both ends of the greenhouse.
