Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of abalone farming equipment technology, and in particular to a real-time monitoring and intelligent oxygenation device for dissolved oxygen in abalone farming ponds. Background Technology
[0002] In abalone farming, dissolved oxygen levels are a key environmental factor affecting their growth, survival, and health. Abalone are quite sensitive to dissolved oxygen levels; prolonged exposure to low dissolved oxygen environments can lead to reduced feeding, slow growth, weakened immunity, and even death. Therefore, real-time monitoring of dissolved oxygen levels in aquaculture ponds and the installation of intelligent aeration equipment are of great significance for improving the efficiency of abalone farming.
[0003] For example, CN217407474U discloses an aeration device for abalone farming. Its features include a floating plate, an aeration pump, a drive unit, and two symmetrically arranged rotating shafts. The rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the floating plate, with one end connected to the drive unit and the other end equipped with an impeller. An aeration disc assembly is located below the floating plate, comprising a mounting frame, an air storage tank, an air guide pipe, and an aeration disc. A connecting shaft is located on one side of the aeration disc, rotatably mounted on a fixed frame. The fixed frame is mounted on the mounting frame. The rotating shaft is connected to one end of the connecting shaft via a transmission assembly, and the other end of the connecting shaft has a rotating rod with a brush rod evenly distributed with bristles. This invention features a novel and reliable overall structure, effectively cleaning fine sediment adhering to the surface of the aeration disc without manual cleaning, saving time and effort, and effectively preventing clogging.
[0004] Traditional abalone farming pond dissolved oxygen monitoring relies heavily on periodic manual testing, which suffers from poor real-time performance and data lag, making it difficult to accurately reflect the dynamic changes in dissolved oxygen levels. Furthermore, aeration equipment is mostly operated manually or on a timed start-stop system, unable to automatically adjust according to actual dissolved oxygen levels. This can easily lead to insufficient or excessive aeration, wasting energy and potentially disrupting the aquatic environment's balance. In addition, the nano-aeration discs used for aeration are prone to clogging with uneaten feed, feces, algae, and other impurities over long-term use, resulting in decreased aeration efficiency. Traditional cleaning methods require manual disassembly and cleaning, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and can disrupt the continuity of farming operations. Utility Model Content

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning component 7 includes a motor 701, a rotating rod 702, a cleaning plate 703, an annular water storage box 704, and a water storage tank 705;
[0041] Motor 701 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper end of mounting plate 2;
[0042] One end of the rotating rod 702 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 701. A water delivery groove 706 is provided inside the rotating rod 702, and a water delivery hole 707 is provided on the outside of the rotating rod 702.

During use, the cleaning time for the nano-aeration disc 3 is set according to the actual situation via the PLC control panel. When the cleaning time for the nano-aeration disc 3 arrives, the PLC control panel activates the waterproof cylinder 5, moving the nano-aeration disc 3 upwards until it contacts the cleaning brush 708. Then, the PLC control panel starts the motor 701, driving the rotating rod 702 to rotate, causing the cleaning plate 703 to rotate accordingly. Simultaneously, the high-pressure water pump 12 starts, delivering water from the water storage tank 705 through the annular water storage box 704, the water delivery channel 706 of the rotating rod 702, and the square cavity 709 of the cleaning plate 703 to the nozzle 15, rinsing the nano-aeration disc 3.

This automatic cleaning function requires no manual operation, reducing maintenance workload, ensuring the long-term stable oxygenation efficiency of the nano-aeration disc 3, and reducing the aquaculture risks caused by equipment blockage.
[0047] Working Principle: First, the support plate 1 is installed in a suitable position in the aquaculture pond using the fixing rod 8. The dissolved oxygen sensor 14 monitors the dissolved oxygen level in the pond in real time and transmits the data to the PLC control panel. When the dissolved oxygen level is below the threshold, the PLC control panel starts the air compressor 6 to oxygenate the aquatic aeration discs 3. When the dissolved oxygen level reaches the threshold, the oxygenation automatically stops, achieving precise control of dissolved oxygen levels and avoiding the lag and blindness of manual operation. This helps maintain a suitable growth environment for abalone. The waterproof cylinder 5, air compressor 6, motor 701, and high-pressure water pump 12 are all electrically connected to the PLC control panel, realizing centralized control and automated operation of the equipment. Staff can monitor the dissolved oxygen data and equipment operating status in real time through the PLC control panel, eliminating the need for frequent on-site inspections and operations. This significantly reduces labor intensity and costs, and improves the efficiency of aquaculture management. When cleaning of the nano-aeration discs 3 is required, the cleaning component 7 automatically cleans the discs, reducing energy consumption caused by blockage and further achieving energy savings.
