Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ecological aquaculture technology, specifically a rice-frog co-culture paddy field water level control system. Background Technology

[0002] Frog farming in rice paddies can improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of farmland. The activities of frogs can reduce insect damage to rice plants. At the same time, returning frog excrement to the field can reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer used and improve soil fertility.

[0003] In summary, frogs generally require both water and terrestrial environments to survive. In frog farming, frog seedlings are typically placed directly in the paddy fields during the rice seedling stage. When the rice plants grow to a certain size and the water level in the fields needs to be drained, the water source is depleted, which affects the frogs' habitat. Therefore, the traditional paddy field structure needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a rice-frog co-cultivation paddy field water level control system, which can be divided into at least an outer perimeter 1, a planting area 2 and a water collection area 3 according to the horizontal layout. The outer perimeter 1 is the boundary of the entire system and is composed of field dams. The planting area 2 is used to plant rice plants, and there can be multiple planting areas, which are separated from each other by the water collection area 3. The height of the outer perimeter area is much higher than the height of the planting area 2. The water collection area 3 is a ditch structure and is the lowest point of the entire system. Its bottom is much lower than the height of the planting area 2, which is used to maintain the long-term water storage requirements.

[0028] The planting area 2 consists of at least a solid edge 201 and a soil area 202 from the outside to the inside. The two are roughly at the same height. The solid edge 201 can be made of bricks, stones or concrete. It can protect the soil area 202 inside, thereby reducing or preventing soil from flowing into the ditch. Its outside is sloping. A support column 5 is fixedly connected to the solid edge 201. In addition, this utility model also includes a perching platform 4, which is a hollow steel box structure, thus having buoyancy. A collar 6 is welded on the perching platform 4 for moving and fitting onto the support column 5, thereby allowing the perching platform 4 to move freely in the vertical direction.

[0029] Based on the above:

[0030] When the system is filled with water, planting area 2 is completely submerged, thus meeting the growth needs of rice seedlings.

[0031] Gradually drain the water in the system until the water level drops below the height of planting area 2, then planting area 2 will be exposed. At this time, all the water will be concentrated in the water collection area 3, and the state of the rice plant roots being submerged will be relieved to meet the growth needs of the rice plant in the middle and later stages.

[0032] During the above process, the habitat platform 4, through its own buoyancy, reaches the planting area 2 when the water level completely overflows ( Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the habitat platform 4 is always level with the water level. At this time, there is no land environment within the system, and the habitat platform 4 becomes the land environment for frogs to rest in; as the water level decreases ( Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the waterlogged area can store water, thus ensuring that the system always has a water source and terrestrial environment throughout the entire rice growth process to meet the habitat needs of frogs.

[0033] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the water level drops below the height of planting area 2, the perch platform 4 loses the support of the water level and is attached to the support column 5. At this time, the top of the perch platform 4 is flush with the solid edge 201, thus providing a connecting bridge effect between adjacent planting areas 2. During the rice harvest, when large equipment enters the field, it is convenient for the harvesting equipment to move between multiple planting areas 2. The steel structure of the perch platform 4 can provide sufficient high strength to meet the load requirements during this period.

[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Similarly, the outer perimeter 1 and the planting area 2 are separated by the water collection area 3, so that the planting area 2 is completely separated from the outside of the system by the water source, thus forming a barrier protection effect. When frogs stay on the planting area 2, it can reduce the phenomenon of attracting the attention of natural enemies outside the system.

[0035] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
