Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aquatic product transportation equipment, and in particular to an aquatic product transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the transportation of live seafood (such as live fish and shrimp), dedicated water tanks on cargo trucks play a crucial role. However, existing water tanks of this type have a significant problem: during transportation, it is difficult to quickly and effectively remove the large amounts of excrement produced by the fish and shrimp. This leads to a large accumulation of excrement in the tank, causing the water to become foul-smelling and promoting the rapid formation of harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen, which adversely affects the lifespan and shelf life of the fish and shrimp.

[0003] Currently, most water tanks on the market lack specially designed sewage discharge devices, relying solely on primitive methods such as dumping wastewater and simple pumping to remove fish waste and other pollutants. Because these designs do not fully consider the fluid dynamics principles of vehicle motion, their sewage discharge efficiency is very limited. Furthermore, while some water tanks are equipped with filter plates to filter fish waste, this easily leads to dead zones in corners and other areas, preventing fish waste from being effectively discharged.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] This application provides an aquatic product transportation device that can solve the problem of how to improve the efficiency of live seafood excrement discharge in the prior art.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An aquatic product transportation device is provided, the aquatic product transportation device comprising:

[0010] The box body has a drainage groove, a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface at the bottom. The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are respectively located on opposite sides of the drainage groove. The first inclined surface extends upward from the drainage groove toward the front end of the box body in the transportation direction, and the second inclined surface extends upward from the drainage groove toward the rear end of the box body in the transportation direction.

[0011] The circulation device includes a drain pipe assembly, a water pump, and a filter device. One end of the drain pipe assembly is connected to the drain tank, and the other end is disposed in the filter device. The water pump is disposed in the drain pipe assembly and is used to transport the water flow from the drain tank to the filter device through the drain pipe assembly. The filter device is used to filter the water flow and transport the filtered water flow back to the housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the bottom of the box is provided with a first bottom plate and a second bottom plate; one side of the first bottom plate is connected to one side of the drainage channel, and the other sides are respectively sealed to the inner wall of the box; one side of the second bottom plate is connected to the other side of the drainage channel, and the other sides are respectively sealed to the inner wall of the box; the upper surface of the first bottom plate forms the first inclined surface, and the upper surface of the second bottom plate forms the second inclined surface.

[0013] In some embodiments, the drainage channel extends along the width of the housing and extends to the inner wall of the housing at both ends.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drainage channel is provided with two arc-shaped recesses that are respectively connected to the first base plate and the second base plate, and the two arc-shaped recesses are arranged opposite to each other.

[0015] In some embodiments, from a top-down view, the first inclined plane is longer than the second inclined plane.

[0016] In some embodiments, from a top-down view, the length of the first inclined plane accounts for 80% to 95% of the length of the housing.

[0017] In some embodiments, the length of the first inclined plane accounts for 90% of the length of the box body.

[0018] In some embodiments, the horizontal inclination angle of both the first inclined plane and the second inclined plane is 2 to 10 degrees.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include at least the following:

[0021] When the aquatic product transport device of this application is in operation, live seafood is placed in the space above the first and second inclined surfaces inside the tank. Fish and shrimp excrement, along with other waste in the tank, will naturally and smoothly converge towards the central drainage trough along the first and second inclined surfaces under the combined action of gravity and water flow, greatly improving the efficiency of excrement collection. Simultaneously, when the vehicle moves forward, the water is pushed to the rear of the tank by inertia, forming a vortex; when the vehicle brakes, the water is pushed to the front of the tank by inertia, also forming a vortex. These two vortices can pick up waste deposited in dead corners, allowing it to re-enter the drainage trough. At the same time, when water rushes into the drainage trough, it also creates a vortex effect, lifting waste and sucking it away by the drainage pipe assembly. The circulation device creates suction on the water and waste at the drainage trough, accelerating waste discharge. Specifically, the circulation device uses a water pump to transport water from the drainage trough to the filtration device via a drainage pipe assembly. After the filtration device removes impurities, the clean water returns to the tank, forming a dynamic water circulation and preventing water quality deterioration. It can be seen that the aquatic transport device of this application, through the special inclined surface and drainage trough design at the bottom of the tank, utilizes the synergistic effect of gravity and water flow to allow excrement to collect more efficiently and thoroughly in the drainage trough. The water pump then quickly extracts it through the drainage pipe assembly, enabling timely and efficient discharge of excrement from the tank and preventing large-scale accumulation of excrement within the tank.

[0044] This aquatic product transport device aims to provide an efficient and clean solution for transporting live seafood (such as fish and shrimp). Through a unique bottom structure design and a circulation system, it can promptly remove fish and shrimp excrement and other waste, maintaining clean water quality within the tank and creating a favorable transport environment for live seafood. The specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the claims.

[0045] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides an aquatic product transportation device.

[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the aquatic product transportation device in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a front view of the aquatic product transportation device in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a top view of the aquatic product transportation device in the embodiments of this application.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, the aquatic product transportation device in this embodiment includes: a container 1 and a circulation device 2.

[0048] The bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a drainage groove 11, a first inclined surface 14 and a second inclined surface 15. The first inclined surface 14 and the second inclined surface 15 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the drainage groove 11. The first inclined surface 14 extends upward from the drainage groove 11 towards the front end of the box body 1 in the transportation direction, and the second inclined surface 15 extends upward from the drainage groove 11 towards the rear end of the box body 1 in the transportation direction.

[0049] For example, the bottom of the tank 1 is provided with a first bottom plate 12 and a second bottom plate 13; one side of the first bottom plate 12 is connected to one side of the drainage trough 11, and the other sides are respectively sealed to the inner wall of the tank 1, which can be achieved by welding or sealing glue to ensure that the connection is seamless and prevent water leakage. One side of the second bottom plate 13 is connected to the other side of the drainage trough 11, and the other sides are respectively sealed to the inner wall of the tank 1; the upper surface of the first bottom plate 12 forms a first inclined surface 14, and the upper surface of the second bottom plate 13 forms a second inclined surface 15. This structure ensures the airtightness of the water tank and prevents water leakage through the sealed connection between the bottom plate and the inner wall of the tank 1. At the same time, the first and second bottom plates form specific inclined surfaces, which can more stably and effectively guide the excrement to converge into the drainage trough 11, improving the sewage discharge efficiency.

[0050] The drainage trough 11 extends along the width of the tank 1, with both ends extending to the inner wall of the tank 1. During transportation, regardless of where fish and shrimp excrement is generated in the width direction of the tank 1, it can flow more smoothly into the drainage trough 11 under the action of gravity and water flow. In other words, this design increases the collection range of the drainage trough 11, ensuring that excrement at all width positions at the bottom of the tank 1 can be effectively collected, reducing the residue of excrement at the bottom of the tank, and further improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of sewage discharge.

[0051] To better scoop up waste from the drainage trough 11, the drainage trough 11 is provided with two arc-shaped recesses 111 that are respectively connected to the first base plate 12 and the second base plate 13, and the two arc-shaped recesses 111 are arranged opposite each other. The distance between the tops of the two arc-shaped recesses 111 is approximately 13 centimeters. The function of the arc-shaped recesses 111 is to better guide the excrement into the drainage trough 11 and form a vortex, preventing the excrement from accumulating at the connection between the drainage trough 11 and the base plate.

[0052] For example, from a top-down view, the first inclined plane 14 is longer than the second inclined plane 15. During transportation, due to factors such as the direction of vehicle movement, the distribution of water flow and excrement in the tank may be uneven. The longer first inclined plane 14 can cover a larger area, better guide the excrement to converge into the drainage ditch 11, and adapt to the dynamic changes in water flow and excrement during transportation.

[0053] By rationally determining the ratio of the length of the first inclined surface 14 to the length of the tank body 1, the sewage discharge function is optimized, the efficiency of excrement collection is improved, and the residue of excrement in the tank is reduced while ensuring the overall structural rationality of the water tank. Specifically, from a top-down view, the length of the first inclined surface 14 accounts for 80% to 95% of the length of the tank body 1. For example, the length of the first inclined surface 14 accounts for 90% of the length of the tank body 1.

[0054] By appropriately setting the inclination angle of the first inclined plane 14, the survival needs of fish and shrimp are taken into account while ensuring effective sewage discharge. This reduces the adverse effects on fish and shrimp caused by water flow impact, improving the applicability and reliability of the water tank. Specifically, the horizontal inclination angles of both the first inclined plane 14 and the second inclined plane 15 are 2 to 10 degrees. Within this angle range, it ensures that excrement slides smoothly along the inclined plane towards the drainage channel 11 under the action of gravity, without causing excessive water flow speed due to an excessively large angle, which could impact fish and shrimp and affect their living environment. At the same time, a suitable angle also allows the water to form a certain flow state on the inclined plane, carrying the excrement.

[0055] The circulation device 2 includes a drain pipe assembly 21, a water pump 22, and a filter device 23. One end of the drain pipe assembly 21 is connected to the drain tank 11, and the other end is disposed in the filter device 23. The water pump 22 is disposed in the drain pipe assembly 21 and is used to transport the water flow from the drain tank 11 to the filter device 23 through the drain pipe assembly 21. The filter device 23 is used to filter the water flow and transport the filtered water flow back to the housing 1.

[0056] For example, the drain pipe assembly 21 is made of a plastic pipe with a diameter of 5-10 cm, and its material is the same as or has similar corrosion resistance to the housing 1. One end of the drain pipe assembly 21 is connected to the drain trough 11. The other end is located at the inlet of the filter device 23 to ensure that water can flow smoothly into the filter device 23.

[0057] For example, the water pump 22 is connected to the power supply of the transport vehicle via an electric wire and operates continuously during transport, delivering the water flow from the drain trough 11 to the filter device 23 through the drain pipe assembly 21.

[0058] The aforementioned filtration device 23 can use existing water filtration devices. Alternatively, it can employ a multi-layered filtration structure, including a coarse filter, a fine filter, and an activated carbon filter layer. The coarse filter has a pore size of 1-2 mm and is used to filter larger particulate impurities; the fine filter has a pore size of 0.1-0.5 mm and further filters fine particles; the activated carbon filter layer is used to adsorb odors and harmful substances in the water. The outlet of the filtration device 23 is connected to the housing 1 via a pipe, returning the filtered clean water to the housing 1 to form a complete water circulation system.

[0059] When the aquatic product transport device of this application is in operation, live seafood is placed in the space above the first inclined surface 14 and the second inclined surface 15 inside the tank 1. Fish and shrimp excrement, along with other waste in the tank, will naturally and smoothly converge towards the central drainage trough 11 under the combined action of gravity and water flow, greatly improving the efficiency of excrement collection. Simultaneously, when the vehicle moves forward, the water is inertially compressed to the rear end of the tank 1, forming a vortex; when the vehicle brakes, the water is inertially compressed to the front end of the tank 1, also forming a vortex. These two vortices can pick up waste deposited in dead corners, allowing it to re-enter the drainage trough 11. At the same time, when water rushes into the drainage trough 11, it also creates a vortex effect, picking up waste and sucking it away by the drain pipe assembly 21. The circulation device 2 creates suction for water and waste at the drainage trough 11, accelerating waste discharge. Specifically, the circulation device 2 uses a water pump 22 to transport water from the drainage trough 11 to the filter device 23 via the drainage pipe assembly 21. After the filter device 23 removes impurities, the clean water returns to the tank 1, forming a dynamic water circulation and preventing water quality deterioration. It can be seen that the aquatic transport device of this application, through the special inclined surface at the bottom of the tank 1 and the design of the drainage trough 11, utilizes the synergistic effect of gravity and water flow to make the excrement more efficient and thorough to collect in the drainage trough 11, and then the water pump 22 quickly extracts it through the drainage pipe assembly 21, which can discharge the excrement from the water tank in a timely and efficient manner, avoiding the large accumulation of excrement in the water tank.
