Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mussel seedling cultivation technology, and in particular to a thick-shelled mussel seedling attachment device. Background Technology

[0002] The intermediate stage of cultivation in the sea area is crucial to the success of aquaculture of thick-shelled mussels. However, existing cultivation methods have many problems, limiting the survival rate and growth efficiency of mussel seedlings. Currently, the common practice in production is to package mussel seedlings into 40-mesh small net bags, tying 10 bags together into a bundle, and then fixing 10-20 bundles, with each bundle spaced 0.5 meters apart, to the ropes of the floating raft.

[0003] However, this method has many drawbacks. First, the small size of the net bags leads to excessively high density of mussel larvae, resulting in intense competition among individuals and hindering growth and development. Second, as the larvae grow and attach organisms adhere, the net bags easily become clogged, impeding water exchange, nutrient supply, and metabolic waste removal, thus reducing survival rates. Furthermore, the large number of small net bags required for packing, tying, and dismantling necessitates significant manual labor, increasing production costs. Finally, the net bags are primarily made of plastic, making them prone to damage during use and leaving residues in the sea, causing marine pollution and harming the ecological environment.

[0004] To address this, those skilled in the art have proposed a thick-shelled mussel seedling attachment device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a thick-shelled mussel seedling attachment device, which solves the problems of seedling crowding, restricted growth, blocked mesh affecting water exchange, cumbersome manual operation, and plastic pollution that exist in the prior art when using mesh bags to package mussel seedlings.

[0007] Preferably, the temporary storage chamber is arranged parallel above the base plate and is fixedly connected to the base plate by three sets of support legs. The top of the temporary storage chamber is open, while the bottom is connected to the connecting arc pipe. The electromagnetic flow valve is located on the outside of the connecting arc pipe and is used to control the mussel seedling flow rate in the connecting arc pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the PVC pipe is connected to the connecting arc pipe through an elastic flexible hose, and the outer surface of the PVC pipe is provided with a guide groove for the traction rope to slide.

[0009] Preferably, the bag body is made of biodegradable jute cloth, the traction rope passes through the inside of the bag body, one end of the bag body is tied with hemp rope, and the other end of the bag body is open for filling mussel seedlings, and the outer surface of the traction rope is provided with several elastic brushes at equal intervals for attaching mussel seedlings.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a thick-shelled mussel seedling attachment device, including: a loading unit 100, comprising a base plate 110, a temporary storage chamber 120, support legs 130, a connecting arc pipe 140, and an electromagnetic flow valve 150, for temporarily storing mussel seedlings; a guiding unit 200, disposed outside the loading unit 100, comprising a PVC pipe 210, an elastic hose 220, and a guide groove 230, for limiting the movement of the mussel seedlings; an attachment unit 300, disposed inside the guiding unit 200, comprising a bag body 310, a traction rope 320, and an elastic brush 330, for dispensing the mussel seedlings; and a tilting unit 400, disposed below the guiding unit 200, comprising a fixing plate 410, a lead screw 420, a stepper motor 430, a moving block 440, a first hinge frame 450, a second hinge frame 460, a connecting rod 470, and a fixing rod 480, for removing the attachment unit 300. The storage chamber 120 is positioned parallel to the base plate 110 and fixedly connected to the base plate 110 via three sets of support legs 130. The top of the storage chamber 120 is open, while the bottom is connected to the connecting arc pipe 140. An electromagnetic flow valve 150 is located on the outside of the connecting arc pipe 140 to control the flow rate of mussel seedlings within the connecting arc pipe 140. A PVC pipe 210 is connected to the connecting arc pipe 140 via an elastic flexible hose 220, and the outer surface of the PVC pipe 210 has a guide groove 230 for the sliding of the traction rope 320. The bag body 310 is made of biodegradable jute cloth. The traction rope 320 passes through the inside of the bag body 310. One end of the bag body 310 is tied with hemp rope, and the other end of the bag body 310 is open for filling with mussel seedlings. Several elastic brushes 330 are equidistantly arranged on the outer circumference of the traction rope 320 for attaching the mussel seedlings.

[0024] As described above, when using the device, firstly, the thick-shelled mussel seedlings and water are poured into the temporary storage chamber 120 through the top opening. Then, the traction rope 320 is tied to the bag body 310 with hemp rope, allowing the bag body 310 to enter the PVC pipe 210 and adhere to the inner wall of the PVC pipe 210. Pulling the traction rope 320 slides in the guide groove 230, thereby causing the bag body 310 to slide inside the PVC pipe 210. The guide groove 230 is L-shaped. After the bag body 310 reaches the designated area inside the PVC pipe 210, the traction rope 320 engages with the short axis of the guide groove 230. Next, the electromagnetic flow valve 150 is opened. The electromagnetic flow valve 150, through the connecting arc pipe 140, guides the mussel seedlings and water stored in the temporary storage chamber 120 into the elastic hose 220, and then into the PVC pipe 210. Inside the bag 310, the elastic brush 330 on the outer surface of the traction rope 320 provides several adsorption points for the thick-shelled mussels. By adjusting the flow rate of the electromagnetic flow valve 150, the mussel seedlings are evenly distributed inside the bag 310. Then, the tilting unit 400 removes residual water from the bag 310. Finally, by pulling the traction rope 320 along the direction of origin, the bag 310 containing the evenly distributed mussel seedlings can be removed. As the mussel seedlings grow, the bag 310 gradually degrades, preventing the bag from squeezing the seedlings. The mussels are effectively fixed to the outer surface of the elastic hose 220. Once the bag 310 has completely degraded, the staff only needs to pull the traction rope 320 to remove the mussels for inspection, further improving the practicality of the device.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] As attached Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that there are two fixing plates 410. Both fixing plates 410 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 110. A lead screw 420 is rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 410. A stepper motor 430 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one of the fixing plates 410. The output end of the stepper motor 430 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 420. Two sets of fixing rods 480 are fixedly connected between the two fixing plates 410. The two sets of fixing rods 480 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the lead screw 420. A moving block 440 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 420. The moving block 440 slides on the outer side of the two sets of fixing rods 480. A hinge frame 450 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 440. A connecting rod 470 is rotatably connected inside the hinge frame 450. A second hinge frame 460 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the PVC pipe 210. The end of the connecting rod 470 away from the hinge frame 450 rotates inside the second hinge frame 460.

[0027] As can be seen from the above, when removing residual moisture from the bag 310, the stepper motor 430 is turned on, which drives the lead screw 420 to rotate. Guided by the two sets of fixed rods 480, the moving block 440 and the first hinge frame 450 move. Through the coordinated use of the first hinge frame 450, the connecting rod 470 and the second hinge frame 460, the farther the first hinge frame 450 is from the second hinge frame 460, the greater the tilt angle of the PVC pipe 210. Conversely, the tilt of the PVC pipe 210 causes the bag 310 to tilt, thereby removing the moisture from the bag 310 and preventing the bag 310 from degrading prematurely.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
