Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a closed recirculating aquaculture pond. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of aquaculture, the drawbacks of traditional open-style aquaculture ponds have become increasingly apparent. In traditional aquaculture models, the water bodies are typically directly connected to the external environment. Pollutants such as uneaten feed, feces, and metabolic waste generated during the aquaculture process are discharged directly into surrounding natural water bodies without effective treatment. Large amounts of organic pollutants and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus enter the water, easily leading to eutrophication, excessive algae growth, and water quality deterioration. This severely disrupts the aquatic ecological balance, threatening the survival of surrounding aquatic organisms and human water safety. Furthermore, open-style aquaculture requires frequent water changes to maintain water quality, resulting in significant water waste. In water-scarce areas, this model further exacerbates water shortages. In addition, traditional aquaculture ponds have rudimentary filtration and purification facilities, making it difficult to effectively remove harmful substances from the water. Unstable water quality affects the quality and yield of aquatic products, hindering the sustainable development of aquaculture.

[0003] Therefore, a new type of environmentally friendly and efficient aquaculture model and facilities are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of the serious water waste and sewage discharge pollution of surrounding water bodies in the traditional open aquaculture model, this utility model provides a closed recirculating aquaculture pond that can realize the internal self-circulation of water, save water resources and do not pollute the surrounding water bodies.

The water storage tank is equipped with a partition with a water leakage hole. Below the partition is a drainage chamber. A filter chamber is provided on one side of the water storage tank. The filter chamber is equipped with a filtration device for purifying water quality. The filter chamber is connected to the water storage tank through a water filling chamber. A water pump is installed on the side of the filter chamber. The water pump is connected to the filter chamber and the drainage chamber through pipes.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a closed recirculating aquaculture system in this embodiment includes a water storage tank 1. A partition 25 is located near the bottom of the water storage tank 1, with drainage holes 4 on the partition 25. Below the partition is a drainage chamber 3, and an extension chamber 5 is located on one side of the drainage chamber 3, communicating with the interior of the drainage chamber 3. A filter chamber 2 is located on one side of the water storage tank 1, communicating with the water storage tank 1 via a water filling chamber 24. The filter chamber 2 is located above the extension chamber 5, and a water pump 6 is installed on the side of the filter chamber 2, communicating with both the filter chamber 2 and the extension chamber 5 via pipes.

[0022] The filter chamber 2 includes a main chamber plate 7 and a top removable sealing plate 10. A positioning rod 9 is provided on the top of the main chamber plate 7, and a positioning hole 11 is provided on the sealing plate 10. When the sealing plate 10 is installed on the top of the main chamber plate 7, the positioning rod 9 is located within the positioning hole 11 to fix the installation position of the sealing plate 10. A retaining cavity 13 is provided on the outer wall of the main chamber plate 7, and a retaining groove 12 is provided on the sealing plate 10. A locking opening 23 is provided on the retaining cavity 13, and a threaded opening 15 is provided on the L-shaped retaining plate 14. Bolts 16 are installed in the locking opening 23 and the threaded opening 15 to fix the L-shaped retaining plate 14 within the retaining cavity 13 and the retaining groove 12, thus fixing the sealing plate 10 to the top of the main chamber plate 7. When maintenance is required inside the filter chamber 2, the bolts 16 are loosened, the L-shaped retaining plate 14 is removed, and the sealing plate 10 is removed.

[0023] The filter chamber 2 is equipped with a filtration device for purifying water. This device includes a filter plate 8 that is snapped onto the inner wall of the filter chamber 2, and filter materials such as biological filter media and activated carbon placed within the chamber. These materials remove suspended solids, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, and other harmful substances from the water. Microbial flora can also be added to the chamber to biodegrade organic pollutants, achieving deep water purification and maintaining the ecological balance of the water body. The filter plate 8 is located between the outlet of the water pump 6 and the inlet of the water filling chamber 24, ensuring that all water pumped by the water pump 6 is filtered before being discharged into the storage tank 1.

[0024] A motor 19 is installed at the top of the water storage tank 1. The output end of the motor 19 is connected to a lead screw 20. The other end of the lead screw 20 is fixed to the top of the water storage tank 1 via a support plate 18. A fitting 21 is fitted onto the lead screw 20, and a connecting inclined rod 22 is fixedly connected to the fitting 21. A scraper 17 is connected to the bottom of the connecting inclined rod 22, and the scraper 17 contacts the upper surface of the partition 25. The motor 19 drives the fitting 21 to reciprocate on the lead screw 20, thereby driving the scraper 17 to clean the upper surface of the partition 25. This prevents the accumulation of impurities in the water storage tank 1 from clogging the drain hole 4 and affecting the water circulation efficiency. This cleaning device can be set according to factors such as stocking density and feeding frequency to achieve automated and routine cleaning, ensuring that the drain hole 4 remains unobstructed and maintaining the efficient operation of the entire recirculating aquaculture system.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A water storage tank 1 is used for aquaculture. Aquaculture water is poured into the water storage tank 1, with the water level not exceeding the height of the water filling chamber 24. During the aquaculture process, due to gravity, denser solid impurities, uneaten feed, and feces gradually sink to the lower water chamber 3, where large particulate pollutants are initially separated using the principle of natural sedimentation, reducing the pressure on subsequent filtration. Subsequently, the water in the lower water chamber 3 flows into the lower water chamber 3 through the leakage holes 4 equipped with a filter screen structure for initial interception. After flowing into the lower water chamber 3 and the extension chamber 5, the water is pumped into the interior of the filter chamber 2 by a water pump 6, where it is filtered and purified. The purified water flows back to the water storage tank 1 through multiple water filling chambers 24 on the front surface of the filter chamber 2, ensuring stable water levels and good water quality in the aquaculture area. As aquaculture activities continue, the water in the water storage tank 1 continuously undergoes sedimentation, filtration, purification, and recirculation processes, forming a closed-loop system. This achieves efficient water resource utilization, reduces waste and environmental pollution, and achieves the goal of environmentally friendly aquaculture.
