Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of recirculating aquaculture equipment, specifically relating to an automatic water level adjustment device for recirculating aquaculture ponds. Background Technology

[0002] Recirculating aquaculture systems are highly efficient water treatment systems used in aquaculture. They recycle aquaculture water through physical filtration, biological purification, and disinfection, reducing water consumption and environmental pollution. Their core components include aquaculture ponds, mechanical filters, aeration equipment, and water quality monitoring systems. In recirculating aquaculture, maintaining a stable water level in the ponds is crucial for the survival and growth of aquaculture organisms. A stable water level provides suitable living space, ensures a stable aquaculture environment, and facilitates smooth water quality management and feeding operations.

[0003] Traditional recirculating aquaculture ponds rely heavily on manual operation for water level regulation. Operators need to frequently observe the water level and manually control the opening and closing of the inlet and outlet pipes accordingly. This method not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also leads to excessive water level fluctuations due to the untimely and inaccurate nature of manual operation, making it impossible to achieve precise water level control. Some more advanced aquaculture ponds are equipped with water level regulation devices, but these devices are prone to frequently triggering the water pipes to drain or stop draining when faced with small fluctuations in water level, making the water level regulation unstable and unable to guarantee that the water level in the aquaculture pond is in an ideal state.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic water level adjustment device for recirculating aquaculture ponds, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic water level regulation device for a recirculating aquaculture pond includes,

[0007] The main structure includes a breeding pond, an inlet pipe installed at the top of the breeding pond, and an outlet pipe installed at the bottom of the side wall of the breeding pond.

[0008] The regulating mechanism includes an regulating component disposed inside the aquaculture pond, a buffer component disposed at the bottom of the regulating component, and a control component disposed at one end of the outlet pipe. The regulating component drives the control component as the water level rises and falls. The buffer component is used to prevent the control component from being frequently triggered due to small fluctuations in the water level. The control component is used to control the drainage of water from the outlet pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment assembly includes a plurality of limiting rods fixedly installed at the bottom of the aquaculture pond, and a limiting ring that slides in contact with the plurality of limiting rods. The limiting rods are distributed around the circumference of the limiting ring, and the limiting ring is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the plurality of limiting rods.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment assembly further includes a float disposed inside the limiting ring and a limiting block fixedly installed on the top of the limiting rod, wherein the float is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the limiting ring.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting assembly further includes a threaded sleeve disposed at the bottom of the float and a threaded rod disposed at the bottom of the threaded sleeve. One end of the threaded sleeve is rotatably connected to the bottom of the float via a bearing, and the other end is sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod and threadedly connected thereto.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer assembly includes a sliding block fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod, a spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block, and a fixing block fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer assembly further includes a buffer sleeve fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed block, a limiting plate fixedly installed on the top of the buffer sleeve, and a mounting base fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixed block. The fixed block is disposed at the bottom of the buffer sleeve, the buffer sleeve is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding block, and the limiting plate is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control component includes an active rod disposed at the bottom of the mounting base and a transmission rod rotatably connected to the active rod. One end of the active rod is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transmission rod.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control component further includes a support frame disposed on the top of the water outlet pipe, and a water stop plug disposed on the side of the transmission rod near the water outlet pipe. The support frame is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe, and one end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the drive rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by linking the adjustment component, the buffer component, and the control component, the fully automatic adjustment of the water level in the aquaculture pond is realized. The threaded adjustment structure of the threaded sleeve and the threaded rod can flexibly set the water level trigger threshold according to the aquaculture needs, which significantly improves the environmental adaptability of the device. The buffer component can prevent the control component from frequently operating due to small water level changes. The two work together to quickly open the drainage when the water level reaches the threshold.

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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automatic water level adjustment device for a recirculating aquaculture pond, comprising:

[0029] The main structure 100 includes a breeding pond 101, an inlet pipe 102 installed at the top of the breeding pond 101, and an outlet pipe 103 installed at the bottom of the side wall of the breeding pond 101.

[0030] The regulating mechanism 200 includes an regulating component 201 disposed inside the aquaculture pond 101, a buffer component 202 disposed at the bottom of the regulating component 201, and a control component 203 disposed at one end of the outlet pipe 103. The regulating component 201 drives the control component 203 as the water level rises and falls. The buffer component 202 is used to prevent the control component 203 from being frequently triggered due to small fluctuations in the water level. The control component 203 is used to control the drainage of the outlet pipe 103.

[0031] It should be noted that the inlet pipe 102 and the outlet pipe 103 pass through the aquaculture pond 101 and are fixedly connected to its inner surface. The inlet pipe 102 continuously and stably supplies water, while the outlet pipe 103 is controlled by the regulating mechanism 200 to discharge water intermittently, thereby achieving water level regulation in the aquaculture pond 101. The buffer component 202 is also used to enable the outlet pipe 103 to discharge water quickly at a large flow rate when it is opened.

[0032] Specifically, the adjustment component 201 includes several limiting rods 201a fixedly installed at the bottom of the breeding pond 101, and a limiting ring 201b that slides in contact with the limiting rods 201a. The limiting rods 201a are distributed around the limiting ring 201b, and the limiting ring 201b is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting rods 201a.

[0033] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 201 also includes a float 201c disposed inside the limiting ring 201b, and a limiting block 201d fixedly installed on the top of the limiting rod 201a, with the float 201c fixedly connected to the inner surface of the limiting ring 201b.

[0034] It should be noted that the limiting rod 201a and the limiting ring 201b cooperate with each other to prevent the float 201c from rotating or displacing horizontally, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the regulating component 201 during the water level rise and fall process. The float 201c is a thin-walled hollow sphere that rises and falls synchronously with the water level. When placed in water, it can generate a large buoyancy. Its buoyancy and the gravity of related structures can drive the control component 203 to normally open and close the water outlet pipe 103. The limiting block 201d is used to prevent the float 201c from driving the limiting ring 201b to detach from the top of the limiting rod 201a when the liquid level in the aquaculture pond 101 is too high or there are violent fluctuations.

[0035] Preferably, the adjusting assembly 201 further includes a threaded sleeve 201e disposed at the bottom of the float 201c, and a threaded rod 201f disposed at the bottom of the threaded sleeve 201e. One end of the threaded sleeve 201e is rotatably connected to the bottom of the float 201c via a bearing, and the other end is sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 201f and threadedly connected thereto.

[0036] It should be noted that the threaded sleeve 201e is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 201f. The extension length of the threaded rod 201f can be adjusted by rotating the threaded sleeve 201e. The water level threshold can be flexibly set according to the actual aquaculture needs, making the device suitable for water level adjustment in different aquaculture scenarios. The threaded rod 201f adopts a cavity design to reduce its own weight.

[0037] Furthermore, the buffer assembly 202 includes a sliding block 202a fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 201f, a spring 202b fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 202a, and a fixing block 202c fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 202b.

[0038] Furthermore, the buffer assembly 202 also includes a buffer sleeve 202d fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed block 202c, a limiting plate 202e fixedly installed on the top of the buffer sleeve 202d, and a mounting base 202f fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixed block 202c. The fixed block 202c is located at the bottom of the buffer sleeve 202d, the buffer sleeve 202d is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding block 202a, and the limiting plate 202e is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 201f.

[0039] It should be noted that the sliding block 202a, the fixed block 202c, and the limiting plate 202e are all hollowed-out to reduce water flow resistance during movement. When the water level fluctuates slightly, the float 201c drives the threaded rod 201f and the sliding block 202a to move up and down. The spring 202b absorbs and buffers such small displacements through elastic deformation, thereby preventing the mounting base 202f from causing malfunctions in the control component 203 and significantly improving the stability of water level regulation. When the water level changes significantly, the threaded rod 201f pushes the sliding block 202a to slide along the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 202d, forcing the spring 202b to compress or stretch and accumulate elastic potential energy. After the elastic force exceeds the preset threshold, it drives the fixed block 202c, the buffer sleeve 202d, the limiting plate 202e, and the mounting base 202f to move in tandem, ultimately triggering the control component 203 to perform the drainage operation.

[0040] Specifically, the control component 203 includes an active rod 203a disposed at the bottom of the mounting base 202f, and a transmission rod 203b rotatably connected to the active rod 203a. One end of the active rod 203a is rotatably connected to the mounting base 202f, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 203b.

[0041] It should be noted that both the active rod 203a and the transmission rod 203b adopt a cavity design to reduce their own weight. When the sliding block 202a moves downward to a certain position under the action of rising water level, it will drive the active rod 203a to rotate, and then transmit the motion through the transmission rod 203b to realize the control of drainage of the outlet pipe 103.

[0042] Preferably, the control assembly 203 also includes a support frame 203c disposed on the top of the water outlet pipe 103, and a water stop plug 203d disposed on the side of the transmission rod 203b near the water outlet pipe 103. The support frame 203c is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 103. One end of the transmission rod 203b is rotatably connected to the drive rod 203a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame 203c.

[0043] It should be noted that the head of the water-stop plug 203d is a frustum-shaped rubber plug, which cooperates with the outlet pipe 103. The pipe opening and closing is achieved by the swinging of the transmission rod 203b. When the drive rod 203a drives the transmission rod 203b to rotate, the transmission rod 203b will drive the water-stop plug 203d to move upward, thereby opening the outlet pipe 103 to drain water. When the water level drops, the sliding block 202a moves downward, and the transmission rod 203b drives the water-stop plug 203d to move downward, which, together with the water flow pressure, closes the outlet pipe 103 and stops the drainage, thus realizing the automatic adjustment of the water level in the aquaculture pond 101.

[0044] In use, when the water level in the aquaculture pond 101 rises, the float 201c rises with the water level, causing the limiting ring 201b to slide upwards along the limiting rod 201a. Simultaneously, the float 201c, through the threaded sleeve 201e, causes the threaded rod 201f, sliding block 202a, spring 202b, and fixing block 202c to rise synchronously. If the water level rises only slightly, the spring 202b absorbs and buffers this small displacement, preventing the active rod 203a from being triggered. When the spring 202b accumulates its elasticity... When the compression force is sufficient to drive the transmission rod 203b to overcome the water pressure and pull out the water stop plug 203d, the spring 202b drives the active rod 203a to rotate through the fixed block 202c. The active rod 203a drives the water stop plug 203d to move upward through the transmission rod 203b, opening the water outlet pipe 103 to drain water. At the moment the water stop plug 203d is pulled out, as the pressure difference around the water stop plug 203d gradually decreases, the spring 202b will immediately contract, thereby causing the water stop plug 203d to rise rapidly, so that the water outlet pipe 103 drains water at full speed.

[0045] When the water level in the aquaculture pond 101 drops, the float 201c descends and drives the related components to descend synchronously. The transmission rod 203b drives the water stop plug 203d to move downward, closing the water outlet pipe 103, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the water level in the aquaculture pond 101.

[0046] If it is necessary to adjust the water level threshold, the relative position between the threaded rod 201f and the float 201c can be changed by rotating the threaded sleeve 201e, thereby adjusting the water level height of the entire adjustment component 201 trigger control component 203 to adapt to different aquaculture needs.

[0047] In summary, the main structure 100 achieves automated water level regulation in the aquaculture pond 101 through continuous and stable water intake via the inlet pipe 102 and intermittent water discharge via the outlet pipe 103 under the control of the regulating mechanism 200. This eliminates the need for frequent manual intervention, significantly reducing labor and time costs. The limiting rod 201a and limiting ring 201b in the regulating component 201 cooperate to effectively prevent the rotation and displacement of the float 201c, achieving stable and precise water level regulation. The threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 201e and the threaded rod 201f allows for flexible adjustment. The buffer component 202 can filter out small fluctuations in water level and effectively prevent the control component 203 from being accidentally triggered. At the same time, when the water level changes significantly, the spring 202b accumulates elastic potential energy. When the elastic force exceeds the threshold, it drives the control component 203 to act. When the stop plug 203d is pulled out, the spring 202b contracts rapidly, causing the outlet pipe 103 to drain water at full speed, greatly improving drainage efficiency. Through the cooperation of various components, the water level adjustment needs under different aquaculture scenarios are met, making the device more applicable and practical.
