Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turtle farming technology, specifically a turtle seedling transfer device for turtle farming. Background Technology

[0002] Soft-shelled turtle, also known as turtle, is a common name for soft-shelled aquatic turtles belonging to the family Trionychidae in the order Testudines. There are more than 20 species. The main species found in China are the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, the mountain soft-shelled turtle, the spotted soft-shelled turtle, and the giant soft-shelled turtle, with the Chinese soft-shelled turtle being the most common. Soft-shelled turtles are not only a delicious dish and a high-quality ingredient for fine banquets, but they are also used in traditional Chinese medicine. They possess numerous nourishing and medicinal properties, including clearing heat and nourishing yin, calming the liver and extinguishing wind, softening hard masses and dispersing nodules, and are effective in treating cirrhosis, hepatosplenomegaly, and infantile convulsions.

[0003] In the process of raising soft-shelled turtle hatchlings, hatchlings of different sizes need to be separated and transferred to other ponds. In the traditional transfer of soft-shelled turtle hatchlings, the turtles are often caught and then selected by hand, which makes the transfer process time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, the turtles selected by hand may be inconsistent in size, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a turtle seedling transfer device for turtle farming, comprising a transfer box 1, a support leg 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer box 1, and a partition 4 fixedly connected inside, a vertical plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the partition 4, and holes 6 provided on the vertical plate 5, the number of holes 6 being several and arranged in a linear multiple group, the size of the holes 6 being only suitable for small-sized turtle seedlings to pass through, a sealing plate 8 provided on the right side of the holes 6, and discharge ports 12 connected to both the left and right sides of the transfer box 1, and a driving mechanism 7 provided on the transfer box 1. The driving mechanism 7 includes an electric push rod 71, an L-shaped plate 72, a U-shaped plate 73, and a driving plate 74. The driving plate 74 is slidably connected to the left side of the vertical plate 5. The electric push rod 71 is fixedly installed on the left side of the transfer box 1. The U-shaped plate 73 is fixedly connected to the top of the driving plate 74. The L-shaped plate 72 is fixedly connected to the front of the U-shaped plate 73. The output end of the electric push rod 71 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 72. There is a certain gap between the driving plate 74, the transfer box 1, and the vertical plate 5. The gap is not large enough for the turtle larvae to pass through, so that the water flow during driving is controlled. The device is designed for easy movement. The bottom of the support leg 2 is fixedly equipped with casters 3, each with a brake pad. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed on the front of the transfer box 1. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing plate 8. The output end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 9. The casters 3 facilitate movement, and the electric push rod 10 drives the sealing plate 8 to move back and forth. A limit rod 75 is fixedly connected inside the transfer box 1. The limit rod 75 passes through the U-shaped plate 73 and slides along it. The limiting rod 75 allows the driving plate 74 to move back and forth stably. The discharge port 12 is slidably connected to the T-shaped plate 13, and the T-shaped plate 13 passes through the top of the discharge port 12 and is slidably connected to the discharge port 12. The opening and closing of the discharge port 12 can be controlled by the T-shaped plate 13 entering and exiting the discharge port 12. The outer wall of the T-shaped plate 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 2 14. The top of the discharge port 12 is fixedly installed with the electric push rod 3 15, and the output end of the electric push rod 3 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 2 14. The T-shaped plate 13 can be raised and lowered by the electric push rod 3 15.

[0023] Working principle: By pouring the turtle seedlings into the left side of the vertical plate 5 of the transfer box 1, the electric push rod 2 10 is activated to move the sealing plate 8 backward and open the hole 6. Then, the electric push rod 1 71 is activated, which drives the driving plate 74 forward through the L-shaped plate 72 and the U-shaped plate 73 to drive the turtle seedlings. During the driving process, the smaller turtle seedlings swim through the hole 6 to the right side of the vertical plate 5, thus achieving separation. The electric push rod 3 15 is activated to drive the discharge port 12 on the right side of the transfer box 1 to discharge the smaller turtle seedlings. No manual selection is required, which improves work efficiency. After the smaller turtle seedlings are discharged, the discharge port 12 on the left side of the transfer box 1 can be opened to release the larger turtle seedlings. When discharging the smaller turtle seedlings, the electric push rod 2 10 is activated to move the sealing plate 8 to seal the hole 6 and prevent the water from drying out.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this utility model, a water-filling mechanism 11 is provided on the back of the transfer box 1. The water-filling mechanism 11 includes a pump body 111, which is fixedly installed on the back of the transfer box 1. A connecting pipe 112 and a connecting pipe 113 are fixedly installed at the bottom and top of the pump body 111, respectively. One end of the connecting pipe 112 is connected to the back of the transfer box 1, and one end of the connecting pipe 113 is connected to a U-shaped pipe 114. The end of the U-shaped pipe 114 penetrates the back of the transfer box 1. Two control valves are provided on the U-shaped pipe 114, which can add water to the left and right sides of the vertical plate 5 separately (not shown in the figure).

[0025] Working principle: By setting up the partition 4, the transfer box 1 can be divided into upper and lower areas. A certain amount of water can be stored below the partition 4. When the pump body 111 is started, water can be added to the left and right sides of the vertical plate 5 through the connecting pipe 112, connecting pipe 213 and U-shaped pipe 114. There is no need for manual water filling from the outside, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0026] It is worth noting that anything not described in the manual is existing technology and not a major innovation, so it will not be explained in detail here.

[0027] This utility model provides a turtle seedling transfer device for turtle farming. There are many methods and approaches to implement this technical solution; the above is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
