Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and more specifically, to an automatic salinity balancing device for marine ornamental fish farming. Background Technology
[0002] Marine ornamental fish are fish that live in the ocean and are valued for their beauty. They are colorful and varied in shape, making them popular among aquarium enthusiasts. Because marine ornamental fish have adapted to the specific salinity environment of the ocean, their physiological functions are closely related to the salinity of their living environment. Drastic fluctuations in salinity or deviations from the suitable range can cause stress reactions in fish, which can range from affecting their appetite and growth to causing disease or even death. Therefore, maintaining a stable salinity balance is a key condition for ensuring the healthy survival of marine ornamental fish in artificial breeding.
[0003] However, there are some shortcomings in the existing salinity regulation process for marine ornamental fish farming: 1. Salinity regulation relies heavily on manual operation, which is inefficient and prone to over- or under-regulation, thus affecting the survival of fish; 2. When salt is added artificially, the salt and water do not mix evenly, which can easily form local high-salinity areas and cause potential harm to fish.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic salinity balancing device for marine ornamental fish farming to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic salinity balancing device for marine ornamental fish farming, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic salinity balancing device for marine ornamental fish farming includes a support base, a glass culture tank slidably connected to the outer wall of the support base, an overflow pipe fixedly connected to the outer wall of the glass culture tank, a concave frame fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support base, and a support frame fixedly connected to the top wall of the concave frame. The device also includes:
[0008] A mixing assembly includes a mixing tank fixedly connected to the outer wall of a support frame, a drive motor A fixedly connected to the top wall of the mixing tank, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor A, the rotating rod being rotatably connected to the mixing tank, uniformly distributed stirring rods fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, an inclined plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank, and a brine pipe fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank, the brine pipe being fixedly connected to a glass aquaculture tank.
[0009] The salt conveying assembly is located on the outer wall of the support frame.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the salt conveying assembly includes a drive motor B fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame. A valve plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor B. A ball valve is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve plate. A salt funnel is fixedly connected to the top wall of the ball valve. A salt pipe is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball valve, and the salt pipe is fixedly connected to the mixing tank.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top wall of the concave frame is fixedly connected to an installation frame, the outer wall of the installation frame is fixedly connected to a micro pump, the outlet of the micro pump is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe, and the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the mixing tank.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an L-shaped frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the glass culture tank, a salinity sensor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped frame, and a PLC controller is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped frame.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer wall of the support frame is fixedly connected with symmetrically distributed reinforcing plates, and the end of the reinforcing plate away from the support frame is fixedly connected to the concave frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] In the scheme of this application:
[0016] 1. The salt delivery component, in conjunction with a micro pump and water pipe, mixes and delivers salt and water to the fish. The amount of salt delivered is precisely controlled by the drive motor B and the valve plate, avoiding salt waste or over-adjustment of salinity. The salinity sensor monitors in real time and automatically adjusts the amount of salt and water added in conjunction with the PLC controller. No manual operation is required, ensuring a stable salinity environment for marine ornamental fish. This avoids stress reactions in fish caused by untimely or inaccurate manual adjustments. The high degree of automation reduces the difficulty of aquaculture management and solves the problems of existing technologies that rely heavily on manual operation for salinity adjustment, resulting in low efficiency and the risk of over- or under-adjustment of salinity, which in turn affects the survival of fish.
[0017] 2. By setting the stirring rod and inclined plate in the stirring assembly, salt and water can be mixed quickly and evenly, avoiding excessively high local salt concentration and preventing harm to fish. This solves the problem in the existing technology where uneven mixing of salt and water when salt is added artificially can easily form local high-salt areas, which can cause potential harm to fish.

When the drive motor A10 is started, it drives the rotating rod 11 and the stirring rod 12 to rotate, stirring the salt and water in the mixing tank 9. The inclined plate 13 can enhance the mixing effect and guide the mixed brine to flow into the glass aquaculture tank 2.
[0028] The salt conveying assembly is located on the outer wall of the support frame 7.
[0029] like Figure 3-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the salt conveying assembly further includes a drive motor B20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 7. A valve plate 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor B20. A ball valve 18 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve plate 21. A salt funnel 17 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the ball valve 18. A salt pipe 19 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball valve 18, and the salt pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 9. The PLC controller 5 controls the drive motor B20 to start, driving the valve plate 21 to rotate inside the ball valve 18, so that the salt in the salt funnel 17 enters the mixing tank 9 through the salt pipe 19.

When the PLC controller 5 determines that the salinity is lower than the set value, it controls the micro pump 16 to start and deliver fresh water to the mixing tank 9 through the water supply pipe 15.
