Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish scale technology, and in particular to a fish scale that is easy to use for casting fish. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing, as a popular outdoor sport, attracts countless enthusiasts with its unique charm. For many anglers, the core enjoyment of fishing lies in the process of battling the fish and experiencing the tranquility of nature, rather than simply pursuing a catch.

[0003] However, as fishing continues and time accumulates, the number of fish caught gradually increases. At this point, a real problem arises for anglers—where to put the caught fish. In a limited space, too many fish not only are difficult to house properly, but may also affect their survival. Therefore, many anglers choose to release the caught fish back into the pond or stream.

[0004] However, this creates a new problem. Anglers cannot record or prove the exact number of fish they caught or the size of each fish. This data is crucial for some anglers, representing their fishing results and serving as important evidence for reviewing their fishing experiences and sharing their stories. To solve this problem, smart fish scales have emerged to meet this need.

[0005] The intelligent fish scale is mainly used to accurately weigh the fish caught. It generally consists of two parts: a weighing component and a fish storage component. The weighing component is responsible for weighing the fish, and after the weighing operation is completed, the fish is released back into the fishing area. The emergence of the intelligent fish scale makes the weighing process smoother and more efficient, greatly improving the angler's experience.

[0006] However, smart fish scales also have some shortcomings in actual use. When fish are caught, they instinctively struggle and wriggle violently. If the entrance of the smart fish scale is not large enough, the fish can easily fall directly to the ground and be injured while entering the scale. In addition, when throwing fish into the smart fish scale, they may hit the side wall of the scale due to their struggle, which can also cause injury. These injuries are very detrimental to the fish and will affect their survival ability after returning to the pond or stream.

[0007] The technical content disclosed in the Chinese patent document (publication number: CN219200575U, patent name: intelligent fish scale) is: a fish weighing component and a fish storage component. The fish weighing component includes a component for weighing fish, and the fish storage component is used to store fish to be weighed. After the fish weighing component finishes weighing the fish and releases the fish back to the fishing area, the fish to be weighed in the fish storage component is released to the fish weighing component for weighing, so that the angler can release, weigh, and return fish without interruption.

[0008] The patent documents reveal that this smart fish scale does not include any components to prevent fish from being damaged by impact. This means that in actual use, fish that are caught and then flow back into the water still face the risk of injury, which is extremely detrimental to their survival. Future development of smart fish scales may focus on adding protective components and optimizing structural design to better protect fish and achieve a harmonious coexistence between fishing activities and ecological conservation. Utility Model Content

[0009] This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and provides a fish scale that facilitates fish placement. The fish basket serves as a transition area for fish from the outside to the weighing tank, ensuring that fish can enter the weighing tank smoothly and orderly for weighing. The buffer cover is made of soft rubber, which has good flexibility and cushioning performance. When fish are placed into the fish basket, even if they hit the buffer cover, they will not be injured, minimizing harm to the fish. The distance between the upper and lower frames is adjustable. The compressible or stretchable buffer cover allows the fish basket to adapt to the storage needs of fish of different numbers and sizes, exhibiting strong flexibility and adaptability.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0011] A fish scale for easy fish throwing includes a weighing trough and a fish guard above the weighing trough. The fish guard includes an upper frame and a lower frame, which are connected by a buffer cover made of soft material.

[0012] The size of the lower frame is the same as the opening of the weighing trough, and the opening area of ​​the upper frame is larger than the opening area of ​​the lower frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the distance between the upper frame and the lower frame can be adjusted. When the upper frame is close to the lower frame, the buffer shield is compressed; when the upper frame is far from the lower frame, the buffer shield is stretched.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper frame is circular, and the lower frame is quadrilateral.

[0015] Furthermore, the weighing trough is connected to a weight sensor, the weight sensor is connected to a toothed plate, and the toothed plate is connected to a ground-mounted bracket.

[0016] The ground fixing frame is used to connect to the ground next to the fishpond. The toothed plate is provided with several tooth positions. The ground fixing frame is locked to the tooth positions. By connecting different tooth positions, the distance between the lower end of the toothed plate and the ground fixing frame can be adjusted.

[0017] The weight sensor is connected to the lower end of the toothed plate. When the ground fixing frame is connected to the ground by the fishpond, the weighing trough above the weight sensor extends to the surface of the pond water below the ground by the fishpond.

[0018] Furthermore, the weighing trough is equipped with an inclined sliding plate inside, and the weighing trough is connected to an automatic opening and closing door assembly. The automatic opening and closing door assembly includes a flip door. The weighing trough is connected to the flip door on the side corresponding to the inclined sliding plate. When weighing fish, the flip door is in a closed state, and the fish is blocked between the inclined sliding plate and the flip door.

[0019] After weighing is complete, the flip-top door opens, and the fish slides off the tilting slide back into the fishpond.

[0020] Furthermore, the automatic door opening and closing assembly includes an opening and closing motor, which is connected to a first link, the first link is connected to a second link, and the second link is connected to a flip door;

[0021] The opening and closing motor drives one end of the first connecting rod to rotate, and the other end of the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the flip door.

[0022] Furthermore, a metal sensor is provided on one side of the opening and closing motor;

[0023] When the flip door closes, the end of the first link away from the second link approaches the metal sensor, thereby triggering the metal sensor.

[0024] When the flip door opens, the end of the first link that is furthest from the second link moves away from the metal sensor.

[0025] Furthermore, the weighing trough is provided with an outer shell.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. The fish basket serves as a transition area for fish from the outside world to the weighing tank, ensuring that the fish can enter the weighing tank smoothly and orderly for weighing. The buffer cover is made of soft rubber, which has good flexibility and cushioning performance. When the fish is put into the fish basket, even if it hits the buffer cover, it will not be injured, minimizing the harm to the fish. The distance between the upper and lower frames is adjustable. When needed, the buffer cover can be compressed or stretched, allowing the fish basket to adapt to the storage needs of different numbers and sizes of fish, and has a high degree of flexibility and adaptability.

[0028] 2. The automatic opening and closing door assembly uses an opening and closing motor to drive the first and second connecting rods, enabling the automatic opening and closing of the flip door. This eliminates the need for manual operation, improving weighing efficiency and reducing manpower. A metal sensor located on one side of the opening and closing motor controls the opening and closing of the flip door. When the first connecting rod approaches the metal sensor, the sensor detects metal, its internal switch is turned off, the motor stops working, and the flip door is closed. When the fish is weighed and the flip door needs to be opened, the program closes the internal switch of the metal sensor, the motor starts working, and pushes the flip door open. The first connecting rod continues to rotate, causing the door to open and then close. After the first connecting rod rotates one revolution and returns to its original position, it triggers the internal switch of the metal sensor to turn off, completing the closing action.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a fish scale for easy fish throwing includes a weighing trough 4 and a fish basket 7 above the weighing trough 4. The fish basket 7 includes an upper frame 701 and a lower frame 702, which are connected by a buffer cover 703. The buffer cover 703 is made of a soft material. In this embodiment, the buffer cover 703 is made of rubber. Rubber has good flexibility and cushioning performance. When a fish is thrown into the fish basket 7, even if it accidentally hits the buffer cover 703, it can effectively avoid injury and minimize damage to the fish.

[0039] The lower frame 702 is the same size as the opening of the weighing tank 4, while the opening area of ​​the upper frame 701 is larger than that of the lower frame 702. The upper frame 701 is circular, and the lower frame 702 is quadrilateral. This unique design resembles a wide-open mouth, making the fish-throwing process smoother. Fish have more space to enter the fish basket 7 when being thrown in, greatly reducing the risk of them falling out due to struggling. The quadrilateral shape of the lower frame 702, precisely matching the opening of the weighing tank 4, ensures that fish can enter the weighing tank 4 from the fish basket 7 without any obstruction.

[0040] The distance between the upper frame 701 and the lower frame 702 can be adjusted. When the upper frame 701 is close to the lower frame 702, the buffer cover 703 is compressed. When the upper frame 701 is far away from the lower frame 702, the buffer cover 703 is stretched. This adjustable design allows the fish basket 7 to adapt to the storage needs of different numbers and sizes of fish according to the actual situation.

[0041] The weighing trough 4 is connected to the weight sensor 3, which is used to weigh the fish in the weighing trough 4. The weight sensor 3 is connected to the toothed plate 2, which is connected to the ground fixing frame 1. The ground fixing frame 1 is used to connect to the ground beside the fishpond, providing solid support for the entire fish scale and ensuring that the fish scale will not shake or tip over during use. The toothed plate 2 is provided with several tooth positions, and the ground fixing frame 1 is locked to the tooth positions. By connecting different tooth positions, the distance between the lower end of the toothed plate 2 and the ground fixing frame 1 can be adjusted; thus, the distance between the weighing trough 4 and the water surface can be adjusted according to the actual distance between the water surface and the ground.

[0042] The weight sensor 3 is connected to the lower end of the toothed plate 2. When the ground fixing frame 1 is connected to the ground by the fishpond, the weighing trough 4 above the weight sensor 3 extends to the surface of the pond water below the ground by the fishpond, so that the fish can be less impacted when it flows back into the water from the weighing trough 4 after weighing.

[0043] The weighing tank 4 is equipped with an inclined slide plate 401. The weighing tank 4 is connected to an automatic opening and closing door assembly 5, which includes a flip door 504. The weighing tank 4 is connected to the flip door 504 on the side corresponding to the inclined slide plate 401. When weighing fish, the flip door 504 is in a closed state, and the fish is blocked between the inclined slide plate 401 and the flip door 504. After weighing is completed, the flip door 504 opens, and the fish slides from the inclined slide plate 401 back into the fishpond, thereby recording the weight of the fish caught by the angler.

[0044] The automatic door opening and closing assembly 5 includes an opening and closing motor 501, which is connected to a first connecting rod 502. The first connecting rod 502 is connected to a second connecting rod 503, and the second connecting rod 503 is connected to a flip door 504. The opening and closing motor 501 drives one end of the first connecting rod 502 to rotate, and the other end of the first connecting rod 502 drives the second connecting rod 503 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the flip door 504. A metal sensor 8 is provided on one side of the opening and closing motor 501. When the flip door 504 is closed, the end of the first connecting rod 502 away from the second connecting rod 503 approaches the metal sensor 8, thereby triggering the metal sensor 8. When the flip door 504 is open, the end of the first connecting rod 502 away from the second connecting rod 503 moves away from the metal sensor 8. By setting the metal sensor 8, it is possible to accurately know whether the flip door 504 is in an open or closed state, thereby transmitting the information to the user and preventing fish from being put into the weighing tank 4 when the flip door 504 is open, causing the fish to flow back without being weighed.

[0045] The weighing tank 4 is provided with an outer shell 6, which can prevent the weighing tank 4 from being damaged by external factors.

[0046] This invention features a fish basket 7, which serves as a transition area for fish from the outside world to the weighing tank 4, ensuring that fish can smoothly and orderly enter the weighing tank 4 for weighing. The buffer cover 703 is made of soft rubber, possessing excellent flexibility and cushioning performance. When fish are placed into the fish basket 7, even if they collide with the buffer cover 703, they will not be injured, minimizing harm to the fish. The distance between the upper frame 701 and the lower frame 702 is adjustable. When needed, the buffer cover 703 can be compressed or stretched, allowing the fish basket 7 to adapt to the storage needs of different numbers and sizes of fish, demonstrating strong flexibility and adaptability.

[0047] The automatic door opening and closing assembly uses an opening and closing motor to drive the first and second connecting rods, enabling the automatic opening and closing of the flip door. This eliminates the need for manual operation, improving weighing efficiency and reducing manpower. A metal sensor located on one side of the opening and closing motor controls the opening and closing of the flip door. When the first connecting rod approaches the metal sensor, the sensor detects metal, its internal switch is disconnected, the motor stops working, and the flip door is closed. When the fish is weighed and the flip door needs to be opened, the program closes the internal switch of the metal sensor, the motor starts working, and pushes the flip door open. The first connecting rod continues to rotate, causing the door to open and then close. After the first connecting rod rotates one revolution and returns to its original position, it triggers the internal switch of the metal sensor to disconnect, completing the door closing action.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
