Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eel farming technology, and in particular to a water control device for eel farming ponds. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the eel farming industry and the gradual expansion of farming scale, the need for precise control of the farming environment is becoming increasingly urgent. Eels are extremely sensitive to water quality, temperature, and level. Suitable and stable pond water conditions are key to ensuring the healthy growth of eels and improving the yield and quality of farmed products. Current technology for water control in eel farming ponds uses water level sensors, combined with electric valves and a control system to achieve water level control. The water level sensor monitors the water level in real time. When the water level is lower than the set value, the sensor transmits a signal to the control system, which then activates the electric valve to allow water to flow into the farming pond. When the water level reaches the set value, the sensor sends a signal again, and the control system closes the electric valve.
[0003] An existing authorized publication number (CN208047755U) discloses a water control device for eel farming ponds, comprising a water storage tank and a water supply pipe located at the bottom of the water storage tank and connected to the water in the eel farming pond. A liftable barrier pipe is provided above the inlet end of the water supply pipe at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the lower end of the barrier pipe is inserted into the inlet port of the water supply pipe. This utility model device has a simple structure and reasonable design, facilitating convenient water intake for eel farming ponds.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the existing water control equipment for eel farming ponds has the following drawbacks: the water level control method using sensors and electric valves is expensive, requires a dedicated control system and power supply, and the sensors are easily affected by impurities and microorganisms in the water, leading to inaccurate measurements. The electric valves may also malfunction due to long-term operation in a humid environment, resulting in high and complex maintenance costs. Therefore, this utility model provides a water control equipment for eel farming ponds. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a water control device for eel farming ponds to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A water control device for an eel farming pond includes a farming tank, the inside of which is equipped with a sealing component; the sealing component includes a water inlet pipe disposed inside the farming tank, a groove formed on the inner side wall of the water inlet pipe, a sealing plug disposed on the outer side of the water inlet pipe, a slider fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plug, the slider sliding inside the groove, and a buoyancy component disposed inside the farming tank.
[0008] Preferably, the buoyancy component includes a water level cylinder fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the aquaculture tank, and a floating plate is slidably connected inside the water level cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the water level cylinder has multiple holes, and the top of the floating plate is hinged to a linkage rod.
[0010] Preferably, the linkage rod passes through the water level cylinder, and one end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to a linkage shaft.
[0011] Preferably, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the linkage shaft, and one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plug.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the breeding tank, and the side wall of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water inlet pipe.
[0013] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] By using a sealing assembly with a sealing plug, slider, and chute, the water level in the breeding tank is raised to a certain height, which can then block the inlet pipe, preventing water from entering the breeding tank. A buoyancy assembly, using a water level cylinder, float plate, and holes, allows the float plate to utilize the total water volume in the breeding tank to increase its height. This combination significantly reduces breeding costs, avoids the high repair and replacement costs associated with frequent damage to electronic components in humid environments, and improves the economic efficiency of breeding.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4 The device shown is a water control system for an eel farming pond, including a farming chamber 1. The farming chamber 1 contains the water required for eel farming and provides growth space for the eels. A sealing assembly is installed inside the farming chamber 1, including a water inlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 3 is the water injection channel for introducing external water into the farming chamber 1. A groove 7 is provided on the inner side wall of the water inlet pipe 3, providing a sliding track for a slider 10 to ensure directional stability when the slider 10 moves the sealing plug 9. A sealing plug 9 is installed on the outer side of the water inlet pipe 3. When the water level reaches a set value, the sealing plug 9 can be inserted into the water inlet pipe 3 to block the water flow and stop the water injection. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plug 9. The slider 10 cooperates with the slide groove 7 to convert the force transmitted by the float plate 11 into linear motion of the sealing plug 9 in the water inlet pipe 3. The slider 10 slides inside the slide groove 7. A buoyancy component is provided inside the breeding tank 1. The buoyancy component includes a water level cylinder 5 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the breeding tank 1. The water level cylinder 5 is connected to the breeding tank 1 through the bottom hole 12 to sense the water level change of the breeding tank 1. A float plate 11 is slidably connected inside the water level cylinder 5. The float plate 11 is buoyant and rises as the water level in the breeding tank 1 rises. The buoyancy is converted into the power to move the sealing plug 9 through components such as the linkage rod 6.
[0024] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-4Based on the same concept as in Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment further proposes that the side wall of the water level cylinder 5 has multiple holes 12, which connect the aquaculture tank 1 to the water inside the water level cylinder 5, ensuring that the water level inside the water level cylinder 5 is always consistent with the water level in the aquaculture tank 1. This allows the floating plate 11 to accurately sense changes in the water level of the aquaculture tank 1. The top of the floating plate 11 is hinged to a linkage rod 6, which acts as a force transmission component, transmitting the buoyancy generated by the rise in water level on the floating plate 11. The linkage rod 6 passes through the water level cylinder 5, transmitting the force inside the water level cylinder 5 to the external structure. One end of the linkage rod 6 is rotatably connected to a linkage shaft 8, which transmits the force transmitted by the linkage rod 6. The force is converted and amplified to provide an effective driving force for the connecting rod 4. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the linkage shaft 8. The connecting rod 4 further transmits the force transmitted by the linkage shaft 8 to the sealing plug 9, causing the sealing plug 9 to move. One end of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plug 9, so that the sealing plug 9 can be accurately moved into the water inlet pipe 3 for sealing under the drive of the connecting rod 4. The internal side wall of the breeding chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 2. The fixing rod 2 plays a supporting and fixing role, ensuring that the water inlet pipe 3 is stable in the breeding chamber 1 and preventing the water inlet pipe 3 from shaking during the water injection process, which would affect the sealing effect of the sealing plug 9. The side wall of the fixing rod 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water inlet pipe 3.
[0025] The working principle of this device is as follows: When using this device, the water from the breeding pond is first poured into the breeding chamber 1 through the inlet pipe 3. When the water in the breeding chamber 1 enters the water level cylinder 5 through the hole 12, the buoyancy of the water in the breeding chamber 1 will push the float plate 11 up in the water level cylinder 5. When the float plate 11 is pushed up, it will cause the connecting rod 4 to move the sealing plug 9 into the inlet pipe 3 under the action of the linkage rod 6 and the linkage shaft 8. When the water level in the breeding chamber 1 reaches a certain level, the sealing plug 9 will block the inlet pipe 3, so that the water level in the breeding chamber 1 can always be maintained at the set water level.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
