Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for selling eel hanging pools. Background Technology
[0002] A hanging pond is a facility used for "slimming" fish, also known as a "slimming pond." In fish farming, hanging ponds are mainly used to allow fish to undergo a "slimming" process, in order to clear intestinal impurities, optimize the fish's body shape, and improve the fish's taste and meat quality.
[0003] In eel farming, the traditional method involves using net cages or a large pond to collect the eels. When the eels are ready to be sold, at least four workers are needed to retrieve them from the net cages or ponds. This is a labor-intensive and demanding task, especially during the winter when temperatures are low, which has a significant impact on the health of the workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for selling eels by hanging them in a water tank. This device not only makes it convenient for eels to be hung in water, but also eliminates the need for manual harvesting when selling eels, thus reducing labor intensity.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a device for selling eel hanging pools, comprising several pools arranged longitudinally side by side and a water supply pool. Each pool has an aeration pipe installed on its bottom plate. An eel output pipe with one end extending out of the pool and equipped with a first valve is embedded in the bottom plate at one end of the pool. The other end of the eel output pipe is flush with or lower than the bottom surface of the pool and is connected to a removable vertical insertion pipe. A pump is installed in the water supply pool, and the pump is connected to the water supply branch pipes of each pool via the main water supply pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, multiple horizontally arranged aeration pipes are embedded longitudinally at intervals on the bottom plate of the pool body, and several aeration holes are arranged horizontally at intervals on the aeration pipes.
[0007] Furthermore, an air supply main pipe connected to an air supply device is longitudinally arranged above the other end of the pool body. One end of the aeration pipe is closed, and the other end is connected to the air supply main pipe via a vertical connecting pipe. A second valve is provided on the vertical connecting pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the vertical insertion tube is evenly distributed with several drainage holes along the circumferential direction, and the diameter of the drainage holes is 0.5cm to 1.5cm.
[0009] Furthermore, a third valve is installed on the main water supply pipe, and a fourth valve is installed on the branch water supply pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the first valve, the third valve, and the fourth valve are all butterfly valves.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the other ends of the pool is vertically provided with an overflow pipe, the lower end of which is connected to the overflow main pipe. The overflow main pipe passes through the lower part of the partition between two adjacent pools and the lower part of the partition between the pool and the water supply pool, and is connected to the water supply pool.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper part of the overflow pipe is evenly distributed with overflow holes, the diameter of which is 0.5cm to 1.5cm.
[0013] Furthermore, a water supply pipe is installed on the upper side of the water supply tank; an aeration pipe is installed at the bottom of the water supply tank.
[0014] Furthermore, sunshades are installed above several pools and water supply pools.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. By burying an eel outlet pipe at the bottom of the pool with the water inlet end flush with or below the bottom surface of the pool, and using a removable vertical pipe, it is convenient to output the eels when selling them, eliminating the need for manual catching, reducing labor intensity, and making it easier to pack the eels into baskets.
[0017] 2. By installing a drain hole on the vertical insertion tube, eels can be prevented from entering the eel outlet tube during water hanging. Similarly, installing an overflow hole on the overflow pipe can prevent eels from entering it.
[0018] 3. The water in the pool can be circulated, and the aeration and water flow in each pool can be controlled independently. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more easily understood, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 3
[0025] A device for selling eels by suspending them in a water tank includes several tanks 10 arranged longitudinally side by side on the ground and a water supply tank 20. Each tank has an aeration pipe 30 installed on its bottom plate. An eel output pipe 40, with one end extending out of the tank and equipped with a first valve, is embedded in the bottom plate at one end of each tank. The other end of the eel output pipe is flush with or below the bottom surface of the tank and connected to a removable vertical insertion pipe 50. A pump body 60 is installed inside the water supply tank, and the pump body has water supply branch pipes 62 leading to each tank via a main water supply pipe 61. By embedding the eel output pipe at the bottom of the tank with its inlet end flush with or below the bottom surface, and using the removable vertical insertion pipe, not only is it convenient to output the eels when selling them, avoiding manual harvesting, but it also prevents eels from entering the eel output pipe during the suspending process.
[0026] In this embodiment, in order to improve the aeration effect of the water tank, multiple horizontally arranged aeration pipes are embedded longitudinally at intervals on the bottom plate of the tank body, and several aeration holes are arranged horizontally at intervals on the aeration pipes.
[0027] In this embodiment, in order to supply oxygen to the aeration pipe, a main air supply pipe 31 connected to the air supply equipment is arranged longitudinally above the other end of the pool. One end of the aeration pipe is closed, and the other end of the aeration pipe is connected to the main air supply pipe via a vertical connecting pipe 32. A second valve is provided on the vertical connecting pipe so as to control the opening and closing of the aeration pipe.
[0028] In this embodiment, to prevent eels from entering the eel output pipe when the water level in the hanging pool is high and drainage is needed for the sale of eels, several drainage holes 51 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the vertical insertion pipe. The diameter of the drainage holes is 0.5cm to 1.5cm. Thus, when the water level is high, the first valve is opened, allowing water to first enter the vertical drainage pipe and then the eel output pipe through the drainage holes and be discharged. When the water level is lower than the lowest drainage hole, the vertical insertion pipe is removed, and water is drained and the eels are discharged through the eel output pipe.
[0029] In this embodiment, a third valve is provided on the main water supply pipe to control the flow of water; a fourth valve is provided on each branch water supply pipe so that the flow of water can be controlled by each branch water supply pipe.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first valve, the third valve, and the fourth valve are all butterfly valves. Furthermore, using a butterfly valve for the first valve also facilitates the expulsion of the eel.
[0031] In this embodiment, to allow the pool to overflow when the water level is high, an overflow pipe 70 is vertically installed at the other end of each pool. The lower end of each overflow pipe is connected to a main overflow pipe 71. The main overflow pipe passes through the lower part of the partition between adjacent pools and the lower part of the partition between the pool and the water supply pool, connecting to the water supply pool. Water overflowing from the pool is discharged to the water supply pool through the overflow pipes for recycling.
[0032] In this embodiment, to prevent eels from entering the overflow pipe during overflow, overflow holes 72 are evenly distributed on the upper part of the overflow pipe, and the diameter of the overflow holes is 0.5cm~1.5cm.
[0033] In this embodiment, a water supply pipe 80 is installed on the upper side of the water supply tank to replenish water. An aeration pipe is installed at the bottom of the water supply tank to increase the oxygen content in the water.
[0034] In this embodiment, in order to improve the shading effect, a sunshade 90 is provided on the upper side of several pools and water supply pools.
[0035] In this embodiment, the diameter of the eel outlet pipe and overflow pipe is about 20cm, and the diameter of the water supply branch pipe is about 15cm.
[0036] In this embodiment, a platform 11 is also provided on the side of the pool and water supply pool away from the eel output pipe to facilitate personnel movement. A drain pipe with the same specifications and structure as the eel output pipe is provided at one end of the water supply pool.
[0037] Usage: Eels are placed into different tanks according to their type. Oxygen is supplied to the tanks through aeration pipes, and water is supplied to the tanks through a pump, main water supply pipe, and branch water supply pipes. During the water-lifting process, a vertical insertion pipe is inserted into one end of the eel output pipe, and the first valve is closed. Because the first valve is closed, any gaps between the vertical insertion pipe and the eel output pipe will not have any impact. After the water-lifting is completed, the branch water supply pipe is closed, and the first valve is opened, allowing the water in the tank to drain through the drain hole. When the water level in the tank is below the lowest drain level, the vertical insertion pipe is removed. At the same time, a receiving basket or container is placed below the end of the eel output pipe outside the tank to collect the eels. The water discharged from the tank can be piped to a subsequent wastewater treatment tank.
[0038] If the terms "first" and "second" are used in the above-described utility model to define the components, those skilled in the art should know that the use of "first" and "second" is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the components in the description. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning.
[0039] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws) or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting or welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).
[0040] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.
