Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to an intelligent lighting adjustment component for a grouper farm. Background Technology

[0002] The core purpose of light treatment for grouper is to regulate physiological behavior, promote healthy growth, and improve aquaculture efficiency by simulating and optimizing their natural light environment requirements. Light directly affects the grouper's circadian rhythm, feeding activity, and metabolic efficiency: appropriate photoperiod can stabilize their diurnal rhythm and reduce stress. Specific spectra, such as blue light, enhance feeding, while red light reduces aggression, stimulates growth hormone secretion, and improves group behavior. The lighting components consist of a multispectral LED array, environmental sensors, a central controller, and a waterproof housing. The principle is to collect aquaculture environment data in real time through sensors, and the controller dynamically adjusts the spectral ratio, intensity, and switching sequence of the LEDs according to preset lighting algorithms, such as photoperiod models based on the fish's growth stage or stress response logic. For example, it automatically enhances the blue light band when it detects a decrease in the fish's feeding activity, or simulates the gradual change of sunrise and sunset according to the diurnal rhythm. All data can be remotely monitored through a cloud platform to achieve adaptive optimization of the light environment.

[0003] In the prior art, according to patent publication number "CN220875551U", a factory workshop suitable for recirculating aquaculture of grouper is disclosed, which includes an insulation cover, a breeding pond and a support component. The support component is U-shaped. The breeding pond is covered by the insulation cover and is located below the support component. The support component is connected to the top of the insulation cover and is used to keep the top of the insulation cover in a horizontal state. This utility model is equipped with a first Velcro, a second Velcro and a connecting rod, etc. In use, the operator first attaches the top of the insulation cover to the second Velcro to prevent the top of the insulation cover from sinking downward. Then, the insulation cover is put on the breeding pond and the ends of the insulation cover are pressed one by one to fix the insulation cover to the breeding pond through the first Velcro. This solves the problem that most breeding ponds in the current workshops have an open top design, which leads to increased breeding costs.

[0004] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings. Traditional grouper workshop lighting components are usually installed separately and independently, which makes it difficult to synchronize the lighting on the water surface and underwater. This often results in uneven lighting, with the upper layer being too bright and the lower layer being dim. In most cases, manual feeding and lighting management are completely disconnected, which not only increases the labor intensity of workers, but also easily affects the feeding efficiency of the fish due to inaccurate feeding time or uneven feed distribution. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent lighting adjustment component for a grouper workshop to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent lighting adjustment component for a grouper breeding workshop, comprising a breeding tank, a feeding cylinder located at the center of the top of the breeding tank, the feeding cylinder having a hollow interior, a hanging light connected to the bottom of the feeding cylinder, a linkage bracket arrayed around the surface of the feeding cylinder, a frame and a waterproof light strip respectively located inside the breeding tank, a control column welded to the back of the breeding tank, a movable connecting rod located inside the control column, a discharge channel opened inside the linkage bracket, the discharge channel passing through both ends of the linkage bracket, and a lever located inside the feeding cylinder.

[0007] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the hanging light and waterproof light strip form an integrated structure through the linkage bracket. Driven by the screw motor, the light position can be raised and lowered synchronously to ensure uniform and dead-angle illumination of the water body. The multi-spectral LED light source, combined with PWM dimming technology, can automatically switch the optimal light intensity and spectrum according to the growth stage of the fish and environmental parameters. It enhances blue light during feeding and switches to weak red light at night, accurately simulating the natural light environment and greatly improving the convenience and accuracy of light management. The combination of the storage cylinder and the linkage bracket realizes the automatic feeding function.

[0008] Preferably, the vertical end of the linkage bracket is fitted to the inner wall of the workshop breeding box, and the frame is fixed to the vertical end of the linkage bracket, and the waterproof light strip is connected to the inner wall of the frame.

[0009] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the linkage bracket includes a vertical end and an inclined end. The vertical end fits against the inner wall of the breeding box in the workshop and can move vertically along the inner wall. It is mainly used to connect the frame and the waterproof light strip.

[0010] Preferably, the top part of the moving link is bolted to the top surface of the storage cylinder, and a lead screw and a limit rod are respectively installed inside the control column.

[0011] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the movement of the moving linkage can drive the linkage support and the storage cylinder to move up and down together.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the movable connecting rod is sleeved on the surface of the lead screw and the limiting rod, and the movable connecting rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw.

[0013] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, adding a motor to the lead screw to make it rotate allows the moving connecting rod to perform linear lifting and lowering movements as the lead screw rotates.

[0014] Preferably, the storage cylinder has an inlet array on its surface, and the inlet at the first end of the linkage bracket is aligned with the inlet on the surface of the storage cylinder.

[0015] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the inclined end inlet of the linkage bracket is aligned with the inlet, which allows the fish feed inside the storage cylinder to be discharged into the discharge channel of the linkage bracket.

[0016] Preferably, a rotating rod is connected to the bearing at the center of the storage cylinder, and the paddle is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod.

[0017] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the rotating rod can drive the paddle to rotate. When the paddle rotates, the centrifugal force generated by the inclined blades causes the fish feed to move along the inner wall of the storage cylinder, the bent side restricts the radial displacement of the fish feed, and the bottom scraper removes the residual fish feed.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom surface of the inclined end of the linkage bracket is provided with an array of feeding holes, and the feeding holes are located at the position of the discharge channel.

[0019] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the fish feed in the discharge channel can fall down along the inclined end and be discharged from the feeding hole into the breeding box in the workshop to complete the automatic feeding operation.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] The hanging light and waterproof light strip form an integrated structure through a linkage bracket. Driven by a screw motor, they can be raised and lowered synchronously to adjust the lighting position, ensuring uniform and spotless illumination of the water. The multi-spectral LED light source, combined with PWM dimming technology, can automatically switch the optimal light intensity and spectrum according to the fish's growth stage and environmental parameters. It enhances blue light during feeding and switches to weak red light at night, accurately simulating the natural light environment and significantly improving the convenience and accuracy of lighting management. The combination of the storage hopper and the linkage bracket enables automatic feeding. The feed guide uses centrifugal force to guide the fish feed into the feed channel of the bracket in an orderly manner. With the help of timers and other components, precise quantitative feeding can be achieved. Feed is added at set times during the blue light stimulation feeding period, and residual feed is cleaned up by the bracket's raising and lowering mechanism to ensure no waste. This avoids the unevenness of manual feeding and realizes intelligent collaborative work between lighting control and feeding management. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] Example 1: A smart lighting control component for grouper farming workshops: The component includes a rearing tank 1. A feed storage cylinder 3 is located at the center of the top of the rearing tank 1, and the inside of the feed storage cylinder 3 is hollow. A hanging light 4 is connected to the bottom of the feed storage cylinder 3. The interior of the rearing tank 1 is equipped with a frame 5 and a waterproof light strip 6. When grouper are uniformly raised in the workshop, lighting treatment can simulate and optimize their natural light environment requirements, thereby regulating physiological behavior, promoting healthy growth, and improving farming efficiency. Light directly affects the grouper's circadian rhythm, feeding activity, and metabolism. Efficiency is achieved through appropriate photoperiod, which can stabilize the diurnal rhythm and reduce stress. The aquaculture tank 1 in the workshop is the container for grouper farming. Its lighting consists of hanging lights 4 and waterproof light strips 6, both of which are LED lighting fixtures. These multi-channel LED light sources allow for independent adjustment of wavelengths such as blue light (450-470nm), white light (5000K color temperature), and red light (620-660nm), simulating natural light or specific growth spectra. During feeding times, blue light is used to stimulate feeding, while at night, weak red light is switched to reduce disturbance. This is achieved through PWM... The dimming technology enables brightness control, automatically adjusting based on fish behavior and linking with water quality sensors. When dissolved oxygen is low, it automatically increases blue light to improve fish respiration efficiency, or reduces light intensity during high-temperature periods to reduce metabolic burden. Both lighting components work in conjunction with the intelligent control system. The LED lights contain different colored light-emitting chips, such as blue, white, and red chips. By adjusting the current of each color chip, various intensities of light can be mixed. For example, increasing the blue light current produces a cool, bluish light, while increasing the red light produces a warm, reddish light. The intelligent control system monitors the pond environment through sensors and, based on the growth needs of the grouper (e.g., juveniles need strong blue light to promote feeding, while adult fish need weak yellow light to reduce activity), automatically calculates and controls the intensity and color of the LED lights, like a color palette, precisely matching the most suitable lighting scheme for the current fish status. This promotes growth while saving electricity, requiring no frequent manual adjustments, making it particularly suitable for modern aquaculture workshops. It can also be paired with high-definition cameras, timers, and other electronic components to collect grouper growth data and record the time of light color adjustments.

[0032] The surface of the storage cylinder 3 is surrounded by a circumferential array of linkage brackets 2. It's worth noting that the hanging light 4 is located at the top center of the aquaculture tank in the workshop. The waterproof light strip 6 is mainly connected to the linkage brackets 2 via a frame 5. Multiple sets of linkage brackets 2 are located on various surfaces inside the aquaculture tank 1. The top of the linkage brackets 2 is fixed to the storage cylinder 3, while the hanging light 4 is located on the bottom surface of the storage cylinder 3. The waterproof light strip 6 uses an IP68 waterproof shell, typically encapsulated in silicone or epoxy resin, completely preventing moisture penetration. Furthermore, the interior uses corrosion-resistant SMD material. The LED chips and waterproof circuit boards are all sealed with sealant. Finally, the power interface is equipped with a waterproof connector and a pressure balance valve to prevent water ingress and regulate the internal and external air pressure difference, ensuring that the waterproof light strip 6 can maintain its lighting performance underwater. The vertical end of the linkage bracket 2 is attached to the inner wall of the breeding tank 1 in the workshop, and the frame 5 is fixed to the vertical end of the linkage bracket 2. The waterproof light strip 6 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 5. The linear movement of the moving linkage 7 can drive the storage cylinder 3 and the linkage bracket 2 to move together. At this time, the waterproof light strip 6 and the hanging light 4 can move together. The linkage bracket 2 connects the LED light hanging on the top and the LED light strip underwater into a whole, covering the entire fish pond. When the height of the top light is adjusted, the underwater light strip will also rise and fall synchronously, which can always maintain the coordination of the upper and lower light sources. It can not only illuminate from the water surface to simulate natural sunlight, but also supplement the deep light through the underwater light strip, avoiding the creation of light dead zones, so that all the grouper can obtain suitable lighting.

[0033] Secondly, it is easy to adjust. The fish farmer only needs to adjust the height of the top light to change the position of the underwater light at the same time, without having to adjust them separately, which saves time and effort. Furthermore, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the different growth stages of the grouper. For example, during the juvenile stage, the light can be turned down to enhance light stimulation and growth, while during the adult stage, the light intensity can be turned up to reduce light intensity and save energy. More importantly, the vertical linkage of the light adjustment can precisely control the lighting environment of the entire water body. With the help of sensor elements, it can automatically simulate sunrise and sunset and adjust the appropriate light intensity and spectrum. For example, blue light can be turned on to promote feeding, and weak red light can be used at night to keep the fish calm. This not only promotes the healthy growth of the grouper, but also greatly reduces the trouble of manual management.

[0034] A control column 8 is welded to the back of the workshop breeding box 1. The control column 8 has a moving link 7 inside. The top part of the moving link 7 is bolted to the top surface of the storage cylinder 3. The control column 8 has a lead screw 9 and a limit rod 10 installed inside. The bottom part of the moving link 7 is sleeved on the surface of the lead screw 9 and the limit rod 10, and the moving link 7 is threaded to the surface of the lead screw 9. It is worth noting that the control column 8 has a lead screw 9 and a limit rod 10 installed inside, and a motor is added to the lead screw 9 so that the lead screw 9 can rotate under the drive of the motor. Since one end of the moving link 7 is sleeved on the surface of the lead screw 9 and the limit rod 10 and threaded to the surface of the lead screw 9, when the lead screw 9 rotates, the moving link 7 and the bolted storage cylinder 3 can move up and down together, thereby completing the movement and adjustment of the hanging light 4 and the waterproof light strip 6 on the linkage bracket 2.

[0035] The linkage bracket 2 has a discharge channel 11 inside, which runs through both ends of the linkage bracket 2. The storage cylinder 3 has inlets 14 arranged in a circular array on its surface, with the inlet at the beginning of the linkage bracket 2 aligned with the inlet 14 on the surface of the storage cylinder 3. A rotating rod 12 is connected to the center of the storage cylinder 3 by a bearing, and a lever 13 is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 12. The storage cylinder 3 has a lever 13 inside. Feeding holes 15 are arranged in an array on the bottom surface of the inclined end of the linkage bracket 2, and the feeding holes 15 are located within the discharge channel 1. At position 1, the storage cylinder 3 has a hollow interior for storing fish feed. The inlet end of the linkage bracket 2 is aligned with the inlet 14 on the surface of the storage cylinder 3. The linkage bracket 2 can not only connect multiple waterproof light strips 6 but also serve as a fish feed discharge channel 11. A motor is added to the rotating rod 12 at the center of the storage cylinder 3. After the rotating rod 12 rotates, the fixed paddle 13 can rotate inside the storage cylinder 3. The paddle 13 is a plastic blade tilted at 15-30 degrees. When rotating, it generates an outward centrifugal force, throwing the fish feed into the storage cylinder. The inner wall of cylinder 3 is filled with material, and the blade ends have a 5mm high bent edge to prevent the fish feed from slipping off the blade tips, ensuring that the fish feed moves along the inner wall. A rubber strip is installed at the bottom of the paddle 13, which rotates close to the bottom surface of the disc, scraping residual fish feed towards the outlet to prevent accumulation. As the paddle 13 rotates with the rotating rod 12, it can throw the fish feed in the cavity onto the inner wall of the storage cylinder 3. As the paddle 13 continues to rotate, the fish feed can enter the discharge channel 11 of the linkage bracket 2 from the inlet 14 on the surface of the storage cylinder 3. Because one end of the linkage bracket 2 is inclined, the other... The bottom of the vertical workshop breeding box 1 is vertical, so after the fish feed enters the discharge channel 11, it falls down along the inclined surface until it falls into the workshop breeding box 1 through the feeding hole 15. With the help of a timer, the grouper can be automatically fed at regular intervals. Only personnel need to manually add fish feed to the storage cylinder 3. Some fish feed that is not discharged from the feeding hole 15 will accumulate at the vertical end of the linkage bracket 2. Just move the linkage bracket 2 upwards at regular intervals, and the accumulated fish feed will be discharged into the workshop breeding box 1 from the outlet at the end of the linkage bracket 2.

[0036] Working principle: The intelligent lighting component, consisting of the hanging light 4 and the waterproof light strip 6, uses multi-channel LED light sources such as blue light, white light, red light, and PWM dimming technology to automatically adjust the light intensity and spectrum according to the growth stage of the grouper and environmental data such as dissolved oxygen and water temperature. For example, it enhances blue light to promote feeding during feeding and switches to weak red light at night to reduce stress. The lighting component is integrated with the storage cylinder 3 through the linkage bracket 2. The moving linkage 7 drives the storage cylinder 3 and the bracket to rise and fall as a whole under the drive of the screw 9 motor, and synchronously adjusts the position of the hanging light 4 and the underwater light strip to ensure uniform light coverage. The paddle 13 in the storage cylinder 3 concentrates the fish feed to the inner wall through the inclined blades and centrifugal force. When rotating, the fish feed is pushed into the inclined discharge channel 11 of the linkage bracket 2 through the baffle and bottom rubber strip. The fish feed slides down the channel to the feeding hole 15 to complete the automatic feeding. The undischarged residual feed can be cleaned from the end outlet by lifting the linkage bracket 2. The whole process is coordinated by the intelligent control system to realize the fully automated management of lighting and feeding, which significantly improves the breeding efficiency and reduces human intervention.
