Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turtle farming technology, specifically a harvesting device for turtle farming. Background Technology
[0002] Soft-shelled turtles, also known as turtles, are oviparous amphibians and reptiles belonging to the family Trionychidae in the order Testudines. There are more than 20 species. The main species found in China are the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, the mountain soft-shelled turtle, the spotted soft-shelled turtle, and the giant soft-shelled turtle, with the Chinese soft-shelled turtle being the most common. Soft-shelled turtles are not only a delicious dish and a high-quality ingredient for fine banquets, but they are also used in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, soft-shelled turtle farming exists in some regions.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218104592U, a harvesting device for farmed soft-shelled turtles includes a fixed plate. Columns are fixed to both sides of the fixed plate. A shell is fixed to the top of one column, and a sliding rod is fixed to the inner cavity of the other column. A lifting mechanism is fixed to the inner cavity of the shell. A bottom shell is slidably mounted on the surface of the columns, and a soft-shelled turtle net is movably mounted on the top of the bottom shell. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the soft-shelled turtle net. A net cover is fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft, and the surface of the net cover has several openings. The net has an opening, and a handle is fixed to the surface of the net cover. Both sides of the turtle net have openings. In use, workers can use a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the turtle net, assisting in the "lowering" and "retrieving" of the turtles. Furthermore, the turtle net, with the help of the net cover, is designed to be openable, facilitating the harvesting of turtles. However, the aforementioned device requires removing each turtle from the net individually when retrieving them, which is time-consuming and laborious, affecting the efficiency of the harvest. Therefore, this invention proposes a harvesting device for turtle farming to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a harvesting device for raising soft-shelled turtles, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a harvesting device for raising soft-shelled turtles, including an L-shaped base, a capture box is arranged inside the L-shaped base, and a mesh plate is arranged on the top of the capture box. A first column and a second column are arranged on the back of the L-shaped base. A rotating mechanism is arranged on the capture box and the second column. The rotating mechanism includes a hinge seat, a first rotating rod, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a connecting rod, and a first motor. The first motor is installed on the right side of the second column. The connecting rod is connected to the output end of the first motor. The second bevel gear is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The hinge seat is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the L-shaped base. The bottom right side of the capture box is hinged to the hinge seat. The rotating rod is connected to the back of the capture box. The first bevel gear is connected to one end of the rotating rod and meshes with the second bevel gear.
[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the connecting rod is provided with a limiting sleeve, and the limiting sleeve is installed on the right side of the second column by a fixing rod.
[0007] Preferably, a support block is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the L-shaped seat, and the bottom of the capture box contacts the top of the support block.
[0008] Preferably, the first and second columns are provided with a lifting mechanism, which includes a connecting plate, a steel rope and a winding drum. The steel rope is wound around the winding drum, the connecting plate is connected to the back of the L-shaped seat, and one end of the steel rope is connected to the top of the connecting plate.
[0009] Preferably, a second motor is installed on the outer wall of the first column, and the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the left end of the winding drum. A round rod is connected to the right end of the winding drum, and the right end of the round rod is rotatably connected to the left side of the second column through a bearing.
[0010] Preferably, the front of both the first and second pillars of the pillar are provided with sliding grooves, and the back of the L-shaped seat is connected to two sliders, which are slidably connected inside the corresponding sliding grooves. The inside of the sliding grooves is connected to a limit rod.
[0011] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The harvesting device for farmed soft-shelled turtles uses a capture box to capture the turtles. After capture, the turtles are raised and the mesh plate is opened. Then, the motor is started to drive the connecting rod to rotate. Through the transmission of bevel gear one and bevel gear two, the rotating rod rotates. The rotating rod drives the capture box to rotate around the hinge seat, so that the turtles in the capture box can be poured out, thereby facilitating unloading and improving the capture efficiency.
[0013] 2. The harvesting device for farmed turtles uses a starting motor to drive a winding drum to rotate. The winding drum winds up the steel rope, causing the connecting plate to move the L-shaped seat upward. The L-shaped seat then moves the turtles in the capture box to a suitable height, facilitating unloading. The steel rope winding method drives the capture box to rise and fall, and the process is stable and not prone to jamming. Attached Figure Description
