Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a salmon and trout spawning collection device. Background Technology
[0002] In salmon and trout artificial breeding techniques, spawning is achieved either by dissecting the gonads or by manually squeezing the abdomen. Dissection allows for complete removal of the gonads, but the fish die after dissection and cannot be reused. Therefore, manual squeezing is used to obtain eggs. Salmon and trout are cold-water fish with dense, fine scales, which are easily damaged during abdominal squeezing, increasing the risk of death. Currently, there is no mechanical equipment available for salmon and trout egg collection; therefore, a spawning collection device is needed to improve spawning efficiency, reduce damage to parent fish, lower the risk of death, and standardize the spawning process. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a salmon and trout spawning collection device that can improve spawning efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a salmon and trout spawning collection device, characterized in that it includes:
[0005] An operating table, wherein a collection unit is provided on the operating table;
[0006] An egg retrieval mechanism includes a fixing member and two elastic clamping plates. The two elastic clamping plates are rotatably mounted on the operating table. The fixing member is mounted on the operating table. There is a clamping space between the two elastic clamping plates. The fixing member is located within the clamping space, and the clamping space is located above the collection section.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a first protective layer is provided on the side of the elastic clamp facing the clamping space.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] See Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a salmon and trout spawning collection device, characterized in that it includes:
[0022] Operating table 1, on which a collection unit 101 is provided;
[0023] The egg retrieval mechanism 2 includes a fixing member 201 and two elastic clamping plates 202. The two elastic clamping plates 202 are rotatably mounted on the operating table 1. The fixing member 201 is mounted on the operating table 1. There is a clamping space between the two elastic clamping plates 202. The fixing member 201 is located in the clamping space, and the clamping space is located above the collection part 101.
[0024] This utility model provides a salmon spawning and collection device, including: an operating table 1 and an egg-collecting mechanism 2. The operating table 1 is provided with a collection section 101, and the egg-collecting mechanism 2 includes a fixing member 201 and two elastic clamps 202. The distance between the two elastic clamps 202 is slightly smaller than the width of the salmon body. In use, the head of the salmon is placed in the fixing member 201, and the body is located in the clamping space. The body is gently clamped and pre-fixed by the elasticity of the two elastic clamps 202. Then, the operator controls the movable end of the elastic clamps 202 to squeeze the abdomen of the fish and expel the eggs. The eggs fall into the collection section 101, thus completing the rapid spawning and collection process, which significantly improves spawning efficiency and ensures the safety of the abdominal organs of the fish, thus ensuring the health of the salmon.
[0025] In a further embodiment of this invention, a first protective layer 203 is provided on the side of the elastic clamping plate 202 facing the clamping space.
[0026] In this embodiment, a first protective layer 203 is provided on the elastic clamp 202. The first protective layer 203 is made of PP cotton. The PP cotton is pre-wetted before use. During operation, it protects the fish scales and prevents damage to the scales due to friction, thereby ensuring the safety of salmon and trout during the spawning process and reducing the risk of death.
[0027] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first end of the elastic clamp 202 is provided with a rotating shaft 204, and the elastic clamp 202 is rotatably connected to the operating table 1 through the rotating shaft 204.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first end of the elastic clamp 202 is provided with a rotating shaft 204, which is inserted into the reserved hole of the operating table 1, so that the elastic clamp 202 can rotate flexibly, making it convenient for the operator to adjust the clamping force, ensuring accurate operation, reducing damage to the fish, and improving the spawning efficiency and fish survival rate.
[0029] In a further embodiment of this invention, a handle 205 is provided at the second end of the elastic clamp 202.
[0030] In this embodiment, a handle 205 is provided at the second end of the elastic clamp 202. The operator holds the handle 205 to operate the elastic clamp 202. The opening and closing of the clamp is controlled by the handle 205, making the operation more convenient and the clamping force easier to control. This further optimizes the spawning process and improves the operating efficiency and the survival rate of salmon and trout.
[0031] In a further embodiment of this invention, a limit rod 102 is provided on the operating table 1, and the position of the limit rod 102 corresponds to the position of the second end of the elastic clamp 202.
[0032] In this embodiment, a limiting rod 102 is provided on the operating table 1. By providing the limiting rod 102, it is ensured that the elastic clamp 202 will not move excessively when it opens, limiting its maximum opening and closing angle and preventing the salmon from slipping off due to excessive opening of the clamp.
[0033] In a further embodiment of this invention, the elastic clamping plate 202 is an arc-shaped plate that protrudes toward the clamping space.
[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic clamping plate 202 is an arc-shaped plate that protrudes towards the clamping space, so that the distance between the two elastic clamping plates 202 gradually decreases from the second end to the first end. In use, it is convenient for the operator to put the fish into the clamping space from the second end of the two elastic clamping plates 202, thus improving the ease of operation.
[0035] In a further embodiment of this invention, the fixing member 201 is generally conical in shape, and the fixing member 201 has a conical fixing cavity.
[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing member 201 has a conical fixing cavity. When in use, the fish head is placed into the conical fixing cavity to fix the fish head, prevent the fish body from sliding during operation, ensure operational stability, and further improve the safety and efficiency of salmon and trout spawning.
[0037] In a further embodiment of this invention, a second protective layer is provided inside the conical fixing cavity.
[0038] In this embodiment, a second protective layer is provided inside the conical fixing cavity. The material of the second protective layer is PP cotton. The PP cotton is pre-wetted before use. During operation, it plays a role in buffering and protecting the fish head, reducing friction damage, further ensuring the safety of salmon and trout, and improving the overall humanization and efficiency of the operation.
[0039] In a further embodiment of this embodiment, the collection unit 101 includes a collection chute 103 and a collection cavity 104. The collection cavity 104 is located at one end of the collection chute 103 and is connected to the collection chute 103. A collection bucket 105 is placed inside the collection cavity 104.
[0040] In this embodiment, the collection unit 101 includes a collection chute 103 and a collection cavity 104. A collection bucket 105 is placed in the collection cavity 104. The collection chute 103 is inclined to facilitate the fish eggs to slide smoothly into the collection bucket 105 in the collection cavity 104, reducing manual intervention, avoiding damage to the fish eggs during the sliding process, and ensuring the quality and survival rate of the fish eggs. After collection, the operator can easily remove the collection bucket 105 for subsequent processing. The whole process is efficient and safe.
