Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frog farming technology, and in particular to a frog pond device for spiny-breasted frogs. Background Technology

[0002] The spiny-breasted frog, also known as the stone frog or stone chicken, has an adult body length of 8-12 cm. Its most distinctive feature is the spines covering the chest of the male. They inhabit clear streams at altitudes of 300-1500 meters, are nocturnal, and feed on insects, small fish, and shrimp. They have extremely high requirements for water quality. They breed from April to August each year, with females laying 300-800 eggs.

[0003] 1. In the process of raising spiny-breasted frogs, water quality is a fundamental condition that determines the success of the breeding. In the current technology, after a long period of breeding, when only a single filtration device such as a filter screen is used to filter the water in the breeding pond, only some impurities in the water can be filtered out, resulting in poor filtration effect and failing to meet the water quality standards required by spiny-breasted frogs.

[0004] 2. In the process of breeding frogs, allowing them to hibernate can simulate the natural physiological cycle, improve reproductive performance in the following year, and the frog meat is firmer after hibernation, resulting in a higher market price, thus improving the quality of breeding frogs. However, in current technology, in order to quickly market the spiny-breasted frogs, the breeding ponds are not equipped with relevant facilities to simulate hibernation, resulting in low quality of the farmed spiny-breasted frogs. Utility Model Content

A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the rear of the aquaculture pond.

[0008] According to the aforementioned frog pond device for the spiny-breasted frog, the shading device includes a support plate. Sliding frames are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the support plate on the left side. A limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the sliding frame. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the left end of the limiting rod. A sunshade curtain is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing rod. A driven sliding rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the sunshade curtain. A frame is fixedly connected to the upper center of the support plate. A waterproof motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame. A moving lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the waterproof motor. A lever is threadedly connected to the right end of the moving lead screw. An active sliding rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lever.

[0009] According to the aforementioned frog pond device for spiny-breasted frogs, the driven slide rod is slidably connected to the limiting rod, the active slide rod is slidably connected to the limiting rod, a sunshade curtain is fixedly connected to the right side of the driven slide rod, and the other end of the sunshade curtain is fixedly connected to the active slide rod.

[0010] According to the aforementioned frog pond device for spiny-breasted frogs, the support plate on the right side is fixedly connected to the sliding frame, the support plate is fixedly connected to the support rod, the movable screw is rotatably connected to the frame, and the lever is slidably connected to the frame.

[0011] According to the aforementioned frog pond device for spiny-breasted frogs, the filtration device includes a fixed frame, a filter box fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, an inlet valve fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box, an inlet pump fixedly connected to the other end of the inlet valve, an inlet frame fixedly connected to the input end of the inlet pump, and a blocking net fixedly connected to the other side of the inlet frame.

[0012] According to the aforementioned frog pond device for spiny-breasted frogs, a supporting filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the filter box, a first filter layer is fixedly connected above the supporting filter screen, a second filter layer is fixedly connected above the first filter layer, a third filter layer is fixedly connected above the second filter layer, a return water pump is fixedly connected above the filter box, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the return water pump, and a return water frame is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe.

[0013] According to the aforementioned device for a breeding pond of the spiny-breasted frog, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the output end of the water inlet pump is connected to the water inlet valve, and the water inlet frame is fixedly connected to the breeding pond.

[0014] According to the aforementioned device for a breeding pond of the spiny-breasted frog, the input end of the return water pump is connected to the interior of the filter box, and the return water frame is fixedly connected to the breeding pond.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

The filter cotton serves as the first line of defense, effectively intercepting large particles such as feces and uneaten food, maintaining water clarity and reducing the burden on subsequent filter media. The ceramic rings provide a porous structure that offers a large surface area for nitrifying bacteria to decompose toxic ammonia and nitrite, establishing a stable bacterial community. The activated carbon acts as the chemical filter, adsorbing pigments, drug residues, and odors, rapidly improving the appearance of the water and preventing the accumulation of harmful substances. This triple purification system (physical + biological + chemical) covers a full range of pollutants, from visible suspended solids to dissolved toxins, improving the effectiveness by more than 50% compared to single filter media. This significantly enhances water quality, bringing it closer to the standards required for the spiny-breasted frog.

[0017] 2. Compared with existing technologies, this method features several advantages. First, it incorporates a silt layer, a coarse sand layer, and a pebble layer, with gaps between the pebble layers large enough for the spiny-breasted frogs to burrow into, facilitating hibernation. Second, a waterproof motor retracts the sunshade, allowing sunlight to reach the water surface and preventing excessively low water temperatures. Third, the installation of smooth tiles creates a cave-like environment with the stepped platform, allowing the remaining frogs to burrow into and further aid in hibernation. These features enhance the hibernation process and improve the overall quality of the aquaculture. Attached Figure Description

[0028] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a frog pond device for the spiny-breasted frog species, which includes a breeding pond 1. Support rods 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper part of the breeding pond 1. A light-shielding device 3 is installed above the support rods 2. A filter device 4 is installed at the rear of the breeding pond 1. A thermometer 5 is fixedly connected to the rear of the inside of the breeding pond 1. An oxygen pump 6 is installed on the left side of the inside of the breeding pond 1. A door 7 is rotatably connected to the right side of the breeding pond 1. A stepped platform 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inside of the breeding pond 1. A smooth tile 9 is installed on the upper left side of the stepped platform 8. A water level line 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inside of the breeding pond 1. A silt cushion layer 11 is laid at the bottom of the right side of the breeding pond 1. A coarse sand cushion layer 12 is laid on top of the silt cushion layer 11. A pebble cushion layer 13 is laid on top of the coarse sand cushion layer 12. A connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rear of the breeding pond 1.

[0030] The above structure includes a thermometer 5, allowing operators to monitor the water temperature inside the aquaculture pond 1 at any time. An oxygen pump 6 is also included, which, when turned on, allows operators to oxygenate the water, ensuring adequate oxygen supply. A water level line 10 is provided, allowing operators to add or remove water from the aquaculture pond 1 according to its level.

[0031] A water level line 10 is provided, and the distance between the water level line 10 and the pebble cushion layer 13 is at least fifty centimeters.

[0032] The system consists of a silt layer 11, a coarse sand layer 12, and a pebble layer 13. The silt layer 11 is approximately 10 to 20 centimeters thick, the coarse sand layer 12 is approximately 5 centimeters thick, and the pebble layer 13 is approximately 5 to 10 centimeters thick. There are gaps between the pebble layers 13, large enough for the spiny-breasted frog to burrow into, allowing it to easily bury itself within the silt layer 11 and thus facilitate hibernation.

[0033] By setting up a silt cushion layer 11, a coarse sand cushion layer 12, and a pebble cushion layer 13, the overlapping thickness of the three layers during use in winter environments allows them to keep the bottom water warm, maintaining the water temperature at between five and ten degrees Celsius, thus enabling the spiny-breasted frog to hibernate more effectively.

[0034] By incorporating smooth tiles 9, the smooth tiles 9 and the stepped platform 8 form a cave-like environment, allowing the remaining spiny-breasted frogs to crawl inside, thus facilitating their hibernation.

[0035] The light-shielding device 3 includes a support plate 31. Sliding frames 32 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the left support plate 31. A limit rod 33 is fixedly connected inside the sliding frame 32. A fixing rod 34 is fixedly connected to the left end of the limit rod 33. A sunshade curtain 35 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing rod 34. A driven sliding rod 36 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sunshade curtain 35. A frame 37 is fixedly connected to the upper center of the support plate 31. A waterproof motor 38 is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame 37. A moving lead screw 39 is fixedly connected to the output end of the waterproof motor 38. The right end of 9 is threaded with a lever 310. The bottom of the lever 310 is fixedly connected with an active slide rod 311. The driven slide rod 36 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 33. The active slide rod 311 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 33. The right side of the driven slide rod 36 is fixedly connected with a sunshade curtain 35. The other end of the right sunshade curtain 35 is fixedly connected to the active slide rod 311. The right support plate 31 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 32. The support plate 31 is fixedly connected to the support rod 2. The moving screw 39 is rotatably connected to the frame 37. The lever 310 is slidably connected to the frame 37.

[0036] The above structure includes eight driven slide rods 36, with a sunshade curtain 35 fixed between adjacent driven slide rods 36.

[0037] Driven by the waterproof motor 38, the moving screw 39 rotates. A lever 310 is threaded to the right end of the moving screw 39. An active slide rod 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lever 310, and the active slide rod 311 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 33, causing the moving screw 39 to move the lever 310 left and right. When the lever 310 moves to the right, the active slide rod 311, through the sunshade curtain 35 and the right-side driven slide rod 36, moves the left-side sunshade curtain 35 and the driven slide rod 36 to the right, thus unfolding all the driven slide rods 36, i.e., unfolding all the sunshade curtains 35. With the blocking effect of all the sunshade curtains 35, sunlight cannot directly shine on the pool water, thereby preventing the pool water temperature from becoming too high and stabilizing the pool water temperature.

[0038] By installing a sunshade curtain 35, in winter, the waterproof motor 38 is controlled to gather multiple sets of driven sliding rods 36 from a dispersed state to the far left. At this time, sunlight can shine on the surface of the water, thereby preventing the water temperature from dropping and maintaining a good water temperature.

[0039] The filtration device 4 includes a mounting frame 41, a filter box 42 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 41, an inlet valve 43 fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box 42, an inlet pump 44 fixedly connected to the other end of the inlet valve 43, an inlet frame 45 fixedly connected to the input end of the inlet pump 44, a baffle 46 fixedly connected to the other side of the inlet frame 45, a support filter screen 47 fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the filter box 42, a first filter layer 48 fixedly connected above the support filter screen 47, and a second filter layer 48 fixedly connected above the first filter layer 48. 9. A third filter layer 410 is fixedly connected above the second filter layer 49. A return water pump 411 is fixedly connected above the filter box 42. A connecting pipe 412 is fixedly connected to the output end of the return water pump 411. A return water frame 413 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 412. A fixing frame 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14. The output end of the inlet pump 44 is connected to the inlet valve 43. The inlet frame 45 is fixedly connected to the aquaculture pond 1. The input end of the return water pump 411 is connected to the inside of the filter box 42. The return water frame 413 is fixedly connected to the aquaculture pond 1.

[0040] Driven by the inlet pump 44, the above structure draws water from the aquaculture tank 1 into the filter box 42 through the inlet frame 45. The water is then filtered by the first filter layer 48, the second filter layer 49, and the third filter layer 410, overflowing from the bottom to the top of the filter box 42. At this point, the return pump 411 is activated, drawing water from the filter box 42 into the connecting pipe 412, and then returning it to the aquaculture tank 1 through the return frame 413, thus completing the water filtration cycle.

[0041] The system employs a three-layer filter system: a first filter layer 48, a second filter layer 49, and a third filter layer 410, consisting of filter cotton, ceramic rings, and activated carbon, respectively. The filter cotton serves as the first line of defense, effectively intercepting large particles such as feces and uneaten food, maintaining water clarity and reducing the burden on subsequent filter media. The ceramic rings provide a porous structure that offers a large surface area for nitrifying bacteria to adhere, specifically decomposing toxic ammonia nitrogen and nitrite, establishing a stable bacterial community. The activated carbon performs chemical filtration, adsorbing pigments, drug residues, and odors, rapidly improving the appearance of the water and preventing the accumulation of harmful substances. This triple purification system (physical + biological + chemical) covers a full range of pollutants, from visible suspended solids to dissolved toxins, achieving over 50% better results than single-media filter systems, thus significantly improving water quality.

[0042] By employing a combination of filter cotton, ceramic rings, and activated carbon, a highly efficient and economical "triple filtration system" is created: the filter cotton intercepts physical impurities to keep the water clear, the ceramic rings cultivate nitrifying bacteria to decompose toxic ammonia nitrogen, and the activated carbon adsorbs chemical pollutants to improve water quality. The three work synergistically to achieve comprehensive purification from solid waste to dissolved toxins. This combination is characterized by low cost, simple maintenance, and wide applicability, and can significantly improve water quality stability in aquaculture such as the spiny-breasted frog, reducing the frequency of water changes.

[0043] Working principle: When using this spiny-breasted frog pond device, first fill the water to the level of the water level line 10, then put the spiny-breasted frogs into the pond, and then turn on the inlet pump 44 and return pump 411 to circulate the water. In summer, the sunshade curtain 35 is opened by the waterproof motor 38 to block sunlight and prevent the pond water temperature from getting too high. In winter, the sunshade curtain 35 is closed by the waterproof motor 38, allowing sunlight to reach the water surface and preventing the water temperature from getting too low.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
