Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubation equipment technology, and in particular to a mobile barrel-type special incubation equipment for plateau loach. Background Technology

[0002] The plateau loach (Siniperca stenoptera) is one of the world's highest-altitude native fish species, mainly distributed in the river systems of the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, including the Ili River, Emin River, and Tarim River, and has significant ecological conservation value. However, due to human activities and habitat destruction, the population of the plateau loach has declined sharply in recent years.

[0003] The eggs of the plateau loach have relatively weak adhesion when exposed to water, and can hatch in water with only slight detachment. Existing plateau loach hatching facilities are complicated to operate, have poor mobility, and are difficult to control the temperature, resulting in a low hatching rate of plateau loach and affecting the large-scale breeding and promotion of fish.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a mobile barrel-type special incubation device for plateau loach that is easy to move, accurately controls temperature, has high incubation efficiency, and is simple to manufacture and low in cost is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this utility model proposes a mobile barrel-type special incubation device for plateau loach, which aims to solve the technical problems of complex operation, poor mobility and difficulty in temperature control of the above-mentioned traditional plateau loach incubation facilities.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a mobile barrel-type special incubation device for plateau loach, including:

[0008] Mobile base

[0009] A constant temperature water bath is installed on the top surface of the movable base; the constant temperature water bath is equipped with an electric heating rod for heating and controlling the water temperature inside the bath.

[0010] The fixing frame is installed at the top inside the constant temperature water bath;

[0011] The incubation bottle is located inside the constant temperature water bath and mounted on the fixed frame; the incubation bottle is inverted with its mouth facing down and its bottom open; the inner cavity of the incubation bottle is an incubation cavity for fertilized eggs of the plateau loach;

[0012] The air stone is located in the lower part of the incubation bottle;

[0013] An air supply source is provided, which is connected to the air stone through an air pipe to supply air and oxygenate it.

[0014] This utility model discloses a mobile bucket-type special incubation device for *Platycodon stenotrophus*. The device can be easily moved using a movable base. Both the constant-temperature water bath and the incubation bottle are filled with water, ensuring the bottom of the incubation bottle is higher than the water level in the constant-temperature water bath, while the water level in the incubation bottle is not higher than the water level in the constant-temperature water bath. An electric heating rod heats and controls the water temperature in the constant-temperature water bath, maintaining a suitable temperature for *Platycodon stenotrophus* incubation. This keeps the incubation bottle in a constant-temperature water bath environment, ensuring stable incubation water temperature. After the fertilized *Platycodon stenotrophus* eggs are detached from their adhesive shells, they are placed in the incubation bottle for incubation. Air stones provide oxygen, and the air bubbles help to rotate the fish eggs, preventing oxygen deprivation due to compression and avoiding the growth of water mold on dead eggs that may adhere to other fertilized eggs, thus reducing the risk of egg death. Once all the eggs have hatched, the fry can be removed through the open bottom of the bottle and transferred to a fry rearing box.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the fixing frame includes a metal wire, which is horizontally arranged and both ends are bent to form hooks and hooked to the rim of the constant temperature water bath; the middle part of the metal wire passes through the upper part of the outer peripheral wall of the incubation bottle to suspend the incubation bottle inside the constant temperature water bath.

[0016] The advantages of the above technical solution are: the fixed frame is constructed by bending the metal wire, which is low in cost and easy to manufacture; the radial holes can be drilled on the upper part of the outer peripheral wall of the incubation bottle so that the metal wire can pass through the body of the incubation bottle, thereby stably supporting and suspending the incubation bottle.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the fixing frame also includes a second metal wire; the second metal wire is horizontally arranged, and the middle part of the second metal wire passes through the upper part of the outer peripheral wall of the incubation bottle and is fixed to the first metal wire in a cross shape.

[0018] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that the second metal wire and the first metal wire cross each other to fix and support the outer peripheral wall of the incubation bottle, making the fixation of the incubation bottle more stable.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, there are multiple incubation bottles, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the metal wire; each incubation bottle has a bubble stone in its lower part; each bubble stone is connected to the gas supply source through an air pipe.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: by threading multiple incubation bottles through the metal wire, the incubation capacity and efficiency of the equipment are increased.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the diameter of the first metal wire and the second metal wire is 3-5mm; the first metal wire and the second metal wire are any one of iron wire, steel wire, and copper wire.

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the incubation bottle has a cap that seals the bottle mouth; a through hole is provided in the middle of the top wall of the cap; one end of the air tube passes through the through hole and is connected to and communicates with the air stone, and the other end of the air tube is connected to and communicates with the air supply source.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is sealed to the outer peripheral wall of the corresponding trachea.

[0024] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a drain valve is installed at the bottom of the constant temperature water bath.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: regularly move the equipment to the ditch or drainage ditch, and change the water in the constant temperature water bath once every 3 days to the same temperature; when changing the water, open the drain valve to discharge the sewage in the tank into the ditch, and then add new water of the same temperature to the constant temperature water bath.

[0026] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the movable base includes a support plate and multiple casters; the multiple casters are mounted on the lower surface of the support plate; the bottom wall of the constant temperature water bath is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the gas source is an oxygen pump.

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a mobile barrel-type special incubation device for plateau loach, which has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0029] This utility model equipment has a simple structure and operation, can accurately control temperature and facilitate water changes, and has a high hatching efficiency for fish eggs; it can be moved as a whole in a convenient and labor-saving manner; it meets the hatching requirements of the sticky fish eggs of the plateau loach, and can increase the hatching rate to over 90%.
