Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to an automatic basket lifting device for aquaculture. Background technology:

[0002] With population growth and improved living standards, people's demand for seafood such as fish and shrimp is increasing. In order to meet people's demand for fish and shrimp while reducing the burden of marine resource development and better protecting the aquatic ecological environment, more and more people are starting to farm fish and shrimp.

[0003] Because the feeding habits of fish and shrimp vary depending on their growth stage and seasonal changes, both overfeeding and underfeeding can negatively impact their health and growth. Therefore, most current practices involve lifting the feeding basket and observing the remaining feed to adjust the amount of feed for the next feeding, thus optimizing feeding and preventing overfeeding or underfeeding. Currently, most feeding baskets are still manually lifted from the water for observation, which is not only cumbersome and labor-intensive, but also inconvenient to lift, especially since some baskets are located in the middle of the pond or in deep water. Utility Model Content:

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic basket lifting device for aquaculture that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies. This device can automatically lift and return the feeding basket, replacing manual labor and reducing the workload of operators.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic basket lifting device for aquaculture, comprising a basket frame, a winding wheel rotatably connected to the basket frame in the up-down direction, a winding and unwinding power mechanism for driving the winding wheel to rotate, and a strap wound around the winding wheel. The strap is used to connect to the feeding basket. The winding and unwinding power mechanism is set on the basket frame, and the output end of the winding and unwinding power mechanism drives and connects to the winding wheel.

[0006] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes a feeding basket position detection component for detecting the height position of the feeding basket.

[0007] A further improvement to the above solution is that the feeding basket position detection component includes a feeding basket sensing magnet disposed on the strap and a feeding basket Hall sensor that cooperates with the feeding basket sensing magnet.

[0008] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes a power supply device for supplying power to the winding and unwinding power mechanism.

[0009] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the power supply device includes a movable electrical output component and a fixed electrical input component. The movable electrical output component includes a movable base slidably connected to the take-up and unwinding power mechanism in the horizontal direction, a traveling power mechanism for driving the movable base to slide, a mobile power source disposed on the movable base, and at least two output end spring electrodes disposed on the movable base. The fixed electrical input component includes at least two input end tube electrodes disposed on the take-up and unwinding power mechanism for cooperating with the output end spring electrodes. Each output end spring electrode is electrically connected to the mobile power source, and each input end tube electrode is electrically connected to the take-up and unwinding power mechanism. When the output end spring electrode moves above the input end tube electrode, each output end spring electrode contacts and conducts electricity with the corresponding input end tube electrode.

[0010] A further improvement to the above solution is that the mobile power source is a rechargeable battery module.

[0011] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes an automatic charging device for automatically charging the rechargeable battery module.

[0012] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the automatic charging device includes at least two charging output electrodes that are electrically connected to the mains power, and at least two charging input electrodes that are electrically connected to the rechargeable battery module and are disposed on the movable base; when the charging input electrode moves in front of the charging output electrode, each charging input electrode contacts and conducts electricity with the corresponding charging output electrode.

[0013] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the automatic charging device further includes an electrode mounting bracket, an adaptive swing arm that swings along the front-to-back direction on the electrode mounting bracket, a first compression spring, and a second compression spring. The charging output electrode swings along the front-to-back direction on the adaptive swing arm, the first compression spring is clamped between the adaptive swing arm and the electrode mounting bracket, and the second compression spring is clamped between the charging output electrode and the adaptive swing arm.

[0014] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes a camera recognition device.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an automatic basket lifting device for aquaculture, including a basket frame, a winding wheel rotatably connected to the basket frame in the up-down direction, a winding and unwinding power mechanism for driving the winding wheel to rotate, and a strap wound around the winding wheel. The strap is used to connect to the feeding basket. The winding and unwinding power mechanism is set on the basket frame, and the output end of the winding and unwinding power mechanism drives and connects to the winding wheel.

[0016] The winding and unwinding power mechanism of this invention drives the winding pulley to rotate forward and wind up the strap. As the strap is wound upward, the feeding basket is lifted out of the water. After observing the remaining feed in the feeding basket and / or the growth status of the fish and shrimp in the feeding basket, the winding and unwinding power mechanism of this invention drives the winding pulley to rotate in reverse and unwind the strap.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model includes a basket frame 1, a winding wheel 2 rotatably connected to the basket frame 1 in the vertical direction, a winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 for driving the winding wheel 2 to rotate, and a strap 4 wound around the winding wheel 2. The strap 4 is used to connect to the feeding basket. The winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 is disposed on the basket frame 1, and its output end is connected to the winding wheel 2. The winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 drives the winding wheel 2 to rotate clockwise and winds up the strap 4. As the strap 4 is wound upwards, The feeding basket is lifted out of the water. After observing the remaining feed in the basket and / or the growth of the fish and shrimp in the basket, the winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 of this invention drives the winding wheel 2 to reverse and unwind the binding strap 4. As the binding strap 4 is unwound downwards, the feeding basket moves downwards and resets, completing the entire process of automatically lifting and returning the feeding basket. This invention can replace manual lifting and returning of the feeding basket, reducing the workload of operators.

[0023] This utility model also includes a feeding basket position detection component 5 for detecting the height position of the feeding basket; although the length of the strap 4 being wound upward or unwound downward can be controlled by controlling the number of rotations of the winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 to drive the pulley 2, thus achieving control of the height position of the feeding basket, the precision and accuracy are not very high. This utility model uses the feeding basket position detection component 5 to detect the height position of the feeding basket, which can better ensure the accuracy of the height position when the feeding basket is lifted upward and lowered downward.

[0024] The feeding basket position detection component 5 includes a feeding basket sensing magnet 51 mounted on the strap 4 and a feeding basket Hall sensor 52 that cooperates with the feeding basket sensing magnet 51. By cooperating with the feeding basket sensing magnet 51 and the feeding basket Hall sensor 52, it is possible to not only achieve high-precision detection of the height position of the feeding basket, but also to have a simple overall structure.

[0025] The feeding basket position detection component 5 of this utility model can include two feeding basket sensing magnets 51 and one feeding basket Hall sensor 52. That is, when the feeding basket sensing magnet 51 located at the top is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 52, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lowered back into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving downward stops. When the feeding basket sensing magnet 51 located at the bottom is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 52, it indicates that the feeding basket has been pulled up into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving upward stops. Alternatively, the feeding basket position detection component 5 of this utility model can include one feeding basket sensing magnet 51 and two feeding basket Hall sensors 52. That is, when the feeding basket sensing magnet 51 is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 52 located at the bottom, it indicates that the feeding basket has been lowered back into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving downward stops. When the feeding basket sensing magnet 51 is detected by the feeding basket Hall sensor 52 located at the top, it indicates that the feeding basket has been pulled up into place, and the driving force for the feeding basket to continue moving upward stops.

[0026] The feeding basket induction magnet 51 is covered with a protective sleeve, which can be a rubber sleeve, film, etc. The protective sleeve can prevent the feeding basket induction magnet 51 from being corroded by water, water vapor, etc., thereby better ensuring its service life.

[0027] This utility model also includes a power supply device 6 for supplying power to the take-up and unwinding power mechanism 3. The power supply device 6 includes a movable electrical output component 61 and a fixed electrical input component 62. The movable electrical output component 61 includes a movable base 611 slidably connected to the upper part of the take-up and unwinding power mechanism 3 in the horizontal direction, a traveling power mechanism 612 for driving the movable base 611 to slide, a mobile power supply 613 disposed on the movable base 611, and at least two output end spring electrodes 614 disposed on the movable base 611. The fixed electrical input component 62 includes at least two input end tube electrodes 621 disposed on the take-up and unwinding power mechanism 3 for cooperating with the output end spring electrodes 614. Each output end spring electrode 614 is electrically connected to the mobile power supply 613, and each input end tube electrode 621 is electrically connected to the take-up and unwinding power mechanism 3. When the output end spring electrode 614 moves above the input end tube electrode 621, each output end spring electrode 614 respectively interacts with the corresponding input end tube electrode 621. Contact and electrical conduction: In specific aquaculture applications, multiple feeding baskets are often required, and these baskets are typically located in the center of the aquaculture pond. Powering the winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 requires separate power supplies next to each basket, necessitating the cumbersome wiring and multiple power supplies, which poses significant safety risks. This invention uses a traveling power mechanism 612 to drive a movable base 611 above each winding and unwinding power mechanism 3, allowing the output spring electrode 614 on the movable base 611 to contact and conduct electricity with the input tube electrode 621 on the winding and unwinding power mechanism 3. This enables mobile power supply to each winding and unwinding power mechanism 3. Furthermore, this invention achieves mobile power supply through the cooperation of a movable electrical output component 61 and a fixed electrical input component 62. This eliminates the need for cumbersome wiring to power each winding and unwinding power mechanism 3, and allows each mechanism to share a single power supply further away from the water surface, resulting in greater overall safety.

[0028] Since the power bank 613 is mounted on the mobile base 611, the power bank 613 needs to move with the mobile base 611. The power bank 613 of this utility model is a rechargeable battery module. When the power bank 613 is used for mobile power supply, it does not need to be connected to a power cord. The power bank 613 can be freed from the constraints of the power cord to provide power, and the overall structure is simpler and safer.

[0029] Compared to manually connecting and charging rechargeable battery modules, this invention also includes an automatic charging device 7 for automatically charging rechargeable battery modules, which can further reduce workload and improve the overall level of automation.

[0030] The automatic charging device 7 includes at least two charging output electrodes 71 that are electrically connected to the mains power supply, and at least two charging input electrodes 72 that are electrically connected to the rechargeable battery module and are disposed on the movable base 611. When the charging input electrodes 72 move in front of the charging output electrodes 71, each charging input electrode 72 contacts and is electrically connected to the corresponding charging output electrode 71. The movable base 611 is driven to the position of the automatic charging device 7 by the traveling power mechanism 612, and each charging input electrode 72 contacts and is electrically connected to the corresponding charging output electrode 71, thereby realizing automatic charging of the rechargeable battery module. The entire charging process does not require manual intervention, which can further reduce workload and improve the overall automation level.

[0031] The automatic charging device 7 of this utility model further includes an electrode mounting bracket 73, an adaptive swing rod 74 swinging along the front-to-back direction on the electrode mounting bracket 73, a first compression spring 75, and a second compression spring 76. The charging output electrode 71 swings along the front-to-back direction on the adaptive swing rod 74. The first compression spring 75 is clamped between the adaptive swing rod 74 and the electrode mounting bracket 73, and the second compression spring 76 is clamped between the charging output electrode 71 and the adaptive swing rod 74. The charging output electrode 71 of this utility model can adaptively adjust its front-to-back position, which not only avoids excessive hard compression contact between the charging output electrode 71 and the charging input electrode 72, but also ensures stable contact and energization between the charging output electrode 71 and the charging input electrode 72.

[0032] This utility model also includes a camera recognition device 8. By setting the camera recognition device 8, the remaining feed in the feeding basket and / or the growth status of the fish and shrimp in the feeding basket can be photographed and visually recognized, thereby replacing manual observation and further improving the overall automation level. The visual recognition results of the camera recognition device 8 can be used to remind or automatically realize the feeding, addition of trace elements or medicines, etc.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] The winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 of this invention drives the winding pulley 2 to rotate forward and wind up the binding strap 4. As the binding strap 4 is wound upward, the feeding basket is lifted out of the water. After observing the remaining feed in the feeding basket and / or the growth status of the fish and shrimp in the feeding basket, the winding and unwinding power mechanism 3 of this invention drives the winding pulley 2 to rotate in reverse and unwind the binding strap 4. As the binding strap 4 is unwound downward, the feeding basket moves downward and resets, completing the entire process of automatically lifting and returning the feeding basket. This invention can replace manual lifting and returning of the feeding basket, reducing the workload of operators.
