Description

A device for monitoring water temperature in aquaculture Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for monitoring water temperature in aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, aquaculture water temperature monitoring devices are generally fixed to one side of the aquaculture pond. To prevent damage to the temperature measuring device, a protective cover or fence is installed on the outside of the device. This can lead to the following problems:

[0003] This water temperature monitoring device can only monitor the water temperature in a small area of ​​the aquaculture pond. The water temperature in different areas of the aquaculture pond may vary greatly due to the concentration of fish. Because the temperature measuring device is placed inside a protective cover or fence, the water around the device has little interaction with the outside world. Especially affected by factors such as light, the water temperature around the device will also differ greatly from the outside water temperature, ultimately resulting in the water temperature data collected by the water temperature monitoring device being incomplete and inaccurate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an aquaculture water temperature monitoring device that can more accurately and comprehensively measure the temperature in aquaculture ponds.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a water temperature monitoring device for aquaculture, including a float and a support set below the float;

[0006] The support is provided with multiple sets of hollow tubes connected in a cross shape at equal intervals from top to bottom. Temperature measuring devices are provided at the junctions of the hollow tubes. A motor is fixed to one end of each hollow tube. The output shaft of each motor is set towards the outer end of the hollow tube. A blade is fixed on the output shaft of each motor. The motors of each set of hollow tubes are staggered.

[0007] Specifically, the temperature measuring device is a waterproof electronic thermometer.

[0008] Specifically, all of the motors mentioned are waterproof motors.

[0009] Preferably, there are four sets of hollow tubes.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the hollow tubes is also provided with a filter screen at its end.

[0011] Furthermore, the support consists of a top plate, a bottom plate, and multiple connecting rods respectively connected between the top plate and the bottom plate.

[0012] Specifically, the float and the top plate are connected in a cap shape.

[0013] Furthermore, a vertical pipe is connected between the top plate and each group of hollow tubes and the bottom plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the vertical tube is a hollow tube body, and the vertical tube is not connected to each other hollow tubes. The temperature measuring device is installed inside the vertical tube, and the probe of the temperature measuring device is inserted at the junction of each group of hollow tubes.

[0015] Furthermore, a warning light is also provided on the top of the float.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Each set of hollow tubes is immersed in water from top to bottom, so the temperature measuring device inside each set of hollow tubes can monitor the water temperature at different depths; during the monitoring process, the motors of each set of hollow tubes start intermittently, and the motor starts to drive the blades to rotate, thereby allowing the water outside the tube to quickly pass through the probe of the temperature measuring device, which can avoid the temperature difference between the water inside the tube and the outside, and can ensure the accuracy of temperature monitoring; at the same time, the starting of motors in different positions can also drive the device to move slowly in the aquaculture pond, so as to accurately monitor the temperature of different areas in the entire aquaculture pond.

[0018] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention from another direction.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an aquaculture water temperature monitoring device includes a float 1 and a support 2 installed below the float 1.

[0022] The support 2 is provided with multiple sets of hollow tubes 3 connected in a cross shape at equal distances from top to bottom. Temperature measuring devices 4 are provided at the junctions of each set of hollow tubes 3. A motor 5 is fixed to one end of each set of hollow tubes 3. The output shaft of each motor 5 is set towards the outer end of the hollow tube 3. A blade 6 is fixed on the output shaft of each motor 5. The motors 5 of each set of hollow tubes 3 are staggered.

[0023] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: When the device is placed in an aquaculture pond, the float 1 of the device floats on the water surface, and the support 2, along with each set of hollow tubes 3, is submerged below the water surface. Since each set of hollow tubes 3 is arranged sequentially from top to bottom, the temperature measuring device 4 inside each set of hollow tubes 3 can monitor the water temperature at different depths. During the monitoring process, the motors 5 of each set of hollow tubes 3 start intermittently. The motors 5 drive the paddles 6 to rotate, thereby allowing the water outside the tube to quickly pass through the probe of the temperature measuring device 4, which can avoid the temperature difference between the water inside the tube and the outside, and can ensure the accuracy of temperature monitoring. At the same time, the starting of motors 5 in different positions can also drive the device to slowly move within the aquaculture pond, so as to accurately monitor the temperature of different areas within the entire aquaculture pond.

[0024] Specifically, the temperature measuring device 4 is a waterproof electronic thermometer.

[0025] Specifically, each of the motors 5 is a waterproof motor.

[0026] Preferably, there are four sets of hollow tubes 3, and the motors 5 in each set of hollow tubes 3 are arranged from top to bottom at the east, south, west and north ends of the corresponding hollow tubes 3, so as to balance the weight of the motors 5 and enable the device to move in all directions.

[0027] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, each of the hollow tubes 3 is also provided with a filter screen 7 at its end to prevent impurities in the water from being sucked into the hollow tube 3 and causing blockage.

[0028] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the support 2 consists of a top plate 8, a bottom plate 9, and multiple connecting rods 10 connected between the top plate 8 and the bottom plate 9, so as to reduce the weight of the support 2.

[0029] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the float 1 and the top plate 8 are connected in a cap shape to improve the float 1's resistance to wind and waves and prevent the lower support 2 from swinging violently under the action of wind and waves.

[0030] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a vertical pipe 11 is also connected between the top plate 8, each group of hollow tubes 3, and the bottom plate 9 to further improve the stability of each group of hollow tubes 3.

[0031] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the vertical tube 11 is a hollow tube body, and the vertical tube 11 is not connected to each hollow tube 3. The temperature measuring device 4 is installed inside the vertical tube 11, and the probe of the temperature measuring device 4 is inserted at the junction of each group of hollow tubes 3.

[0032] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the top of the float 1 is also provided with a warning light 12 to facilitate the determination of the specific location of the water temperature detection device at night.

[0033] In another embodiment, the system also includes a battery, a signal transmitting unit, a signal receiving unit, and a processor disposed within the float 1. The battery supplies power to each motor 5, the temperature measuring device 4, the signal transmitting unit, the signal receiving unit, and the processor. The processor processes the received data and controls the operation of each motor 5 and the temperature measuring device 4. The signal transmitting unit transmits the data collected by the processor to a remote terminal. The signal receiving unit receives the signal and transmits it to the processor for remote control.
