Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fresh fish transportation technology, specifically a fresh fish transport vehicle with a cooling function. Background Technology

[0002] Live fish transport is the process of moving fresh aquatic animals from one place to another. This typically involves transporting fish or other aquatic animals from a farm or fishing site to a market, processing plant, or retail store while maintaining their freshness and quality. To ensure that the fish remain vigorous and healthy during transport, certain measures need to be taken. Other factors should also be considered during transport, such as the species, size, and health condition of the fish. Some fish species are more sensitive to transport and may require additional care and attention. In general, live fish transport requires careful planning and execution to ensure that the fish remain vigorous and healthy upon arrival at their destination.

[0003] The transportation of live fish requires transport vehicles. While traditional transport vehicles are capable of transporting live fish, they still have some shortcomings. For example, they are difficult to regulate the water temperature according to needs. Therefore, in hot or cold environments, the water temperature is easily too high or too low, which can easily affect the live fish and make it difficult to guarantee the transportation effect. In addition, their buffering capacity is not good, so the live fish are easily bumped during transportation due to road conditions, making it difficult to guarantee the survival rate of the live fish. Therefore, to address the above problems, a live fish transport vehicle with a cooling function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a live fish transport vehicle with a cooling function, which can regulate the water temperature as needed. Therefore, in hot or cold environments, the live fish are less likely to be affected by high or low water temperatures, thus ensuring the transport effect. In addition, it has good buffering capacity, so the live fish transported inside are less likely to be jostled due to road conditions during transport, thus ensuring the survival rate of the live fish, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A live fish transport vehicle with a cooling function includes a platform, with wheels at the four corners of the platform's bottom. A cab is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the platform, and a fish storage box is located on one side of the cab. The inner cavity of the fish storage box has a first mesh plate, and a second mesh plate is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the top of the first mesh plate. The first mesh plate divides the inner cavity of the fish storage box into a lower temperature control zone and an upper fish storage zone. The second mesh plate divides the fish storage zone into several fish storage chambers. A temperature control component is provided in the temperature control zone, and a buffer component is provided between the platform and the fish storage box.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the fish storage box is provided with several box covers, and the top center of each box cover is fixedly connected with an opening and closing handle. The box cover and the fish storage cavity are positioned correspondingly and matched in size.

[0008] Preferably, the temperature control component includes a water temperature sensor, a resistance heating tube, and a water chiller. The water temperature sensor is fixedly connected to one side wall of the inner cavity of the temperature control zone, and the resistance heating tube is positioned at the bottom center of the inner cavity of the temperature control zone via a support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the water chiller is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the fish storage tank on the side away from the front of the vehicle. The input end of the water chiller is provided with a water pump pipe, and the output end of the water chiller is provided with a drain pipe. Both the water pump pipe and the drain pipe pass through the bottom of the side wall of the fish storage tank and are connected to the temperature control zone.

[0010] Preferably, an aerator is fixedly connected to the top of the water chiller, and an aerator pipe is provided on the output end of the aerator. The aerator pipe passes through the middle of the side wall of the fish storage tank and communicates with the fish storage area.

[0011] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a buffer airbag fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle platform, a buffer plate fixedly connected to the top of the buffer airbag and fixedly connected to the bottom of the fish storage box, buffer cylinders fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle platform symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buffer airbag, a buffer spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the buffer cylinder, and the end of the buffer plate passing through the top of the buffer cylinder and fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, the fish storage box provides space and necessary conditions for transporting live fish. The first mesh panel divides the inner cavity of the fish storage box, separating the live fish from the temperature control component and ensuring its proper function. The second mesh panel divides the storage area, allowing for the separate storage of different types or sizes of live fish, facilitating identification and retrieval. The temperature control component automatically adjusts the temperature according to actual needs, maintaining a suitable water temperature to ensure the survival of the live fish during transport. The aerator supplies oxygen to the water to maintain the fish's condition during transport. The buffer component provides excellent cushioning, preventing the live fish from being jostled due to road conditions during transport, thus ensuring their survival rate.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A live fish transport vehicle with a cooling function includes a platform 1, with wheels 2 at the four corners of the bottom of the platform 1. A front end 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the platform 1, and a fish storage box 4 is provided on one side of the front end 3. The inner cavity of the fish storage box 4 is provided with a first mesh plate 5. A second mesh plate 6 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the top of the first mesh plate 5. The first mesh plate 5 divides the inner cavity of the fish storage box 4 into a lower temperature control zone 7 and an upper fish storage zone 8. The second mesh plate 6 divides the fish storage zone 8 into several fish storage chambers. A temperature control component is provided in the temperature control zone 7, and a buffer component is provided between the platform 1 and the fish storage box 4.

[0025] The fish storage box 4 has several lids 9 on its top. Each lid 9 has a handle fixedly connected to its center, and the lids are positioned and matched to the fish storage cavity. The lids 9 facilitate the placement and removal of live fish. The temperature control system includes a water temperature sensor 10, a resistance heating element 11, and a water chiller 12. The water temperature sensor 10 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the inner cavity of the temperature control zone 7. The resistance heating element 11 is supported by a bracket and located at the bottom center of the inner cavity of the temperature control zone 7. The water chiller 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the fish storage box 4 away from the vehicle front 3. The water chiller 12 has a water intake pipe 13 at its input end and a drain pipe 14 at its output end. Both the water intake pipe 13 and the drain pipe 14 penetrate the bottom of the side wall of the fish storage box 4 and connect to the temperature control zone 7. The temperature control system can automatically adjust the temperature according to actual needs, ensuring the water temperature remains at a suitable level for the transportation of live fish. The water chiller 12 is fixedly connected to the top of an aerator 15. An aerator pipe 16 is provided on the output end of the aerator 15. The aerator pipe 16 passes through the middle of the side wall of the fish storage tank 4 and communicates with the fish storage area 8. The aerator 15 can supply oxygen to the water to ensure the transport condition of the live fish. The buffer assembly includes a buffer airbag 17 fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle plate 1. A buffer plate 18 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fish storage tank 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer airbag 17. Buffer cylinders 19 fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle plate 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buffer airbag 17. A buffer spring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the buffer cylinder 19. The end of the buffer plate 18 passes through the top of the buffer cylinder 19 and is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring 20. The buffer assembly can provide good buffering capacity, so the live fish transported inside are not easily jolted by road conditions during transportation, thus ensuring the survival rate of the live fish.

[0026] Workflow: First, different types or sizes of live fish are placed into different storage chambers through the tank lid 9 for classification, facilitating identification and handling. Then, the aerator 15 is activated, supplying oxygen through the aerator pipe 16 to ensure proper transport of the fish. The water temperature sensor 10 has a built-in controller, and the resistance heating element 11 and water chiller 12 are electrically connected to the controller. A threshold (suitable water temperature) is preset on the controller. When the water temperature is below this threshold, the water temperature sensor 10 transmits information to the controller, which then activates the resistance heating element 11 to heat the water. When the water temperature reaches the threshold, the resistance heating element 11 automatically shuts off. When the water temperature is above the threshold, the water temperature sensor 10 transmits information to the controller. Inside the controller, the controller starts the water chiller 12, which draws water into the water chiller 12 through the water pipe 13. After cooling, the water is discharged back into the fish storage tank 4 through the drain pipe 14. When the water temperature reaches this threshold, the water chiller 12 will automatically shut down, thus ensuring the transport condition of the live fish. When bumps occur during transport, the fish storage tank 4 will compress the buffer airbag 17 through the buffer plate 18. The buffer airbag 17 provides a certain buffering capacity for the bump force. At the same time, the end of the buffer plate 18 will compress the buffer spring 20. The buffer spring 20 will buffer the bump force through its own rebound force. Therefore, the live fish transported inside are not easily bumped due to road conditions during transport, thus ensuring the survival rate of the live fish.
