Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture, and in particular to an automatically cleanable aquaculture filter tower. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale and intensive development of aquaculture, quality and stability have become key factors in ensuring aquaculture efficiency and the healthy growth of organisms. As the core equipment in aquaculture systems for purifying water and removing impurities, the performance of filter towers directly affects the quality of aquaculture water. Regularly cleaning the inside of aquaculture filter towers is also very important, playing a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the water body, inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms, and improving filtration efficiency.

[0003] However, in the traditional cleaning process of aquaculture filter towers, it is necessary to add chemicals to the incoming clean water to achieve a good cleaning effect. This dosing process largely relies on manual experience, requiring frequent manual addition of chemicals. This is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to accurately control the dosage. Insufficient dosage fails to adequately mix the water and clean the filter tower, while excessive dosage can lead to phytotoxicity, damaging the aquatic environment and affecting the health of aquatic organisms. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to maintain continuity and stability in the dosing process, failing to meet the requirements for precise dosing. The storage, transportation, and mixing of chemicals with the water also result in low automation levels and low work efficiency. Workers also cannot promptly monitor the remaining amount of chemicals or the progress of dosing, hindering precise control and management.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of automatically cleanable aquaculture filter tower to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 An automatically cleanable aquaculture filter tower includes: a bottom tower 1, an upper tower 2 at the upper end of the bottom tower 1, an inlet pipe 3 on the side wall of the upper tower 2, an outlet pipe 31 on the side wall of the bottom tower 1, an extension plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the bottom tower 1, and a pipe mixer 41 fixedly connected to one end of the extension plate 4; an automatic dosing mechanism, including a dosing pipe 5, an mounting bracket 411 fixedly connected to the extension plate 4, the dosing pipe 5 being fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 411, a piston 51 inside the dosing pipe 5, a pull rod 52 fixedly connected to the upper side of the piston 51, the pull rod 52 being slidably connected to the upper end wall of the dosing pipe 5, an observation component on one side of the dosing pipe 5, and an exchange conveying component between the dosing pipe 5 and the pipe mixer 41.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the observation component includes a strip-shaped through-hole, in which a tempered glass window 6 is installed and connected. The side wall of the strip-shaped through-hole is provided with scale markings. A T-shaped plate 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod 52. A side frame strip 62 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the T-shaped plate 61. A camera head 63 is installed and connected to the lower end of the side frame strip 62.

[0023] It should be noted that: the tempered glass window 6 ensures clear observation of the inside of the dosing tube 5, and the scale markings are accurately marked according to the dosage of the drug, making it convenient for staff to intuitively understand the dosage. Combined with the image feedback from the camera 63, it enables dual monitoring of the dosing process.

[0024] The T-plate 61 drives the pull rod 52 to slide relative to the upper end of the dosing tube 5, and the piston 51 at the lower end of the pull rod 52 slides relative to the inside of the dosing tube 5. By utilizing the change of negative pressure, the liquid medicine in the external storage tank (existing technology) can flow into the inside of the dosing tube 5, so that the dosing tube 5 can store the cleaning agent in advance.

[0025] The piston 51 moves in the reverse direction to reset, stably discharging the liquid medicine from the dosing pipe 5, so that the liquid medicine can be automatically and evenly added into the pipeline mixer 41, achieving full mixing of the medicine with the water to be introduced.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the side frame bar 62 is aligned with the strip-shaped through-hole, and the shooting head 63 is aligned with the piston 51 at the same height.

[0027] It should be noted that the side frame bar 62 can stably drive the camera head 63 to move synchronously with the pull rod 52 and piston 51. The camera head 63 and piston 51 are aligned at the same height so that the position of piston 51 can be accurately photographed, thereby accurately judging the remaining amount of medicine in the dosing tube 5 and the dosing progress.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the exchange and delivery assembly includes a main pipe 53, the upper end of which is connected to the dosing pipe 5, and a branch pipe 54 is provided on the main pipe 53.

[0029] It should be noted that the main tube 53 and the branch tube 54 are capable of facilitating drug discharge and inhalation.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 As shown, solenoid valves 7 are installed and connected in both the main pipe 53 and the branch pipe 54.

[0031] It should be noted that: Solenoid valve 7 can quickly open and close, achieving precise control of drug delivery. When solenoid valve 7 in the main pipe 53 is in the closed state, solenoid valve 7 in the branch pipe 54 is in the open state, forming a drug extraction channel.

[0032] Conversely, the solenoid valve 7 in the control branch pipe 54 is in the closed state, while the solenoid valve 7 in the main pipe 53 is in the open state, forming a drug discharge channel.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two convex plates are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the mounting bracket 411, and two vertical rods 8 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the two convex plates. Two sliding mouths are symmetrically arranged on the T-plate 61, and the T-plate 61 is slidably connected to the two vertical rods 8. An adjusting shaft 81 is rotatably connected between the two convex plates. A motor 82 is installed and connected at the top of the mounting bracket 411, and the output end of the motor 82 is fixedly connected to the adjusting shaft 81.

[0034] It should be noted that: starting the motor 82 causes its output end to drive the adjusting shaft 81 to rotate, which drives the T-plate 61 to slide stably relative to the two vertical rods 8, so that the T-plate 61 drives the pull rod 52 to slide relative to the upper end of the dosing tube 5, and the control piston 51 moves accordingly.

[0035] Furthermore, the motor 82 has a speed regulation function, which can precisely control the rotation speed of the regulating shaft 81 according to different dosing requirements, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the moving speed and distance of the piston 51.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting shaft 81 is a threaded rod, and the T-plate 61 is provided with a threaded opening. The T-plate 61 is threadedly connected to the adjusting shaft 81.

[0037] It should be noted that the threaded fit between the adjusting shaft 81 and the T-plate 61 enables more precise control of the dosage, ensuring that the dosage is accurate each time.

[0038] The working principle of the automatically cleanable aquaculture filter tower provided by this utility model is as follows: Wastewater from aquaculture flows into the filter tower through the inlet pipe 3 on the side wall of the upper tower 2. The wastewater first enters the upper tower 2 and then flows from top to bottom into the bottom tower 1, where solid impurities and suspended solids in the wastewater are intercepted and filtered. The filtered and purified water flows out from the outlet pipe 31 on the side wall of the bottom tower 1 and is reused in aquaculture, completing the basic water filtration cycle.

[0039] Based on the actual amount of medicine needed, the solenoid valve 7 in the main control pipe 53 is closed, causing the solenoid valve 7 in the branch pipe 54 to open. The motor 82 is started, causing its output end to drive the adjusting shaft 81 to rotate, driving the T-plate 61 to slide stably relative to the two vertical rods 8. This causes the T-plate 61 to drive the pull rod 52 to slide relative to the upper wall of the dosing pipe 5, and the piston 51 at the lower end of the pull rod 52 to slide relative to the inside of the dosing pipe 5. By utilizing the change in negative pressure, the liquid medicine in the external storage tank (existing technology) can flow into the inside of the dosing pipe 5, so that the dosing pipe 5 can pre-store the cleaning agent required.

[0040] The T-shaped plate 61 moves the side frame bar 62, causing the camera head 63 at its lower end to slide relative to the strip-shaped through-hole. This allows the camera head 63 to capture the position of the piston 51 and the changes in the chemical in real time, and transmit the image information in real time. Combined with the preset dosage standard, it is determined whether the dosage has met the requirements, thereby achieving precise control of the dosage and ensuring the stable cleaning effect of the aquaculture filter tower.

[0041] The solenoid valve 7 in the control branch pipe 54 is closed, while the solenoid valve 7 in the main pipe 53 is open. At the same time, the output end of the control motor 82 rotates in reverse, causing the piston 51 to move in reverse and reset, so that the liquid medicine in the dosing pipe 5 is stably discharged, and the liquid medicine can be evenly and automatically added into the pipeline mixer 41. In the pipeline mixer 41, the agent is fully mixed with the water to be introduced, realizing automatic and fast control of cleaning dosing and ensuring good cleaning effect.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
