Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a buffered salmon and trout transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] As salmon and trout farming expands, a farming model that transitions from land-based seedling cultivation to deep-sea rearing is gradually taking shape. To facilitate cross-farm sorting or land-sea transfer of salmon and trout from land-based to sea-based farming, frequent transfers are necessary. These transfers typically rely on manual handling using water bags or tanks, but this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, suitable only for small-scale farming. Furthermore, this method causes significant stress to the fish. Due to their active nature, salmon and trout are easily stressed during transfer, leading to damage to their bodies and internal organs, resulting in mass mortality.
[0003] The salmon and trout transfer device disclosed in authorization announcement number CN220777063U includes a fish tank, a support frame for the fish tank, and a fish guide pipe. The fish tank has a water inlet at one end and a connection port at the other end. The fish tank has an unequal width structure, narrowing along the water flow direction. The support frame is composed of several perforated angle steels connected by screws. The fish guide pipe includes an interconnected straight fish guide pipe and a flexible fish outlet pipe, with the connection port connecting to the straight fish guide pipe. This invention can save significant manpower and resources, greatly reduce stress during salmon and trout transfer, avoid harm to the salmon and trout, and improve the survival rate in later aquaculture.
[0004] However, the salmon and trout transfer device in the existing technology CN220777063U can save a lot of manpower and resources by setting up a fish guide pipe, greatly reduce the stress response during the transfer of salmon and trout, avoid damage to salmon and trout, and improve the survival rate of later aquaculture. However, because the diameter of the fish guide pipe is fixed, it is easy to cause pipe blockage when encountering large fish, resulting in very low efficiency in transporting fish. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a buffered salmon and trout transfer device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the diameter of the fish guide pipe in the device is fixed, which easily causes pipe blockage when encountering large fish, resulting in very low efficiency in fish transportation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a conveying chamber, inside which a fish storage box is fixedly connected. A gate is movably connected to one end of the fish storage box. A lifting block is fixedly connected to the top of the gate. A slide rail is provided at the end away from the gate. Symmetrical rotating shafts are fixedly connected inside the slide rails. The rotating shafts are sleeved with a turntable. A first transport groove is fixedly connected to the front end of the turntable. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the first transport groove. A slider is movably connected inside the slide groove. A second transport groove is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider. Rubber pads are fixedly connected inside the first and second transport grooves. Four electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveying chamber. Telescopic rods are movably connected to the bottom ends of the electric telescopic rods. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each telescopic rod.
[0007] Preferably, four support rods are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate, and universal wheels are movably connected to the bottom end of each support rod. A foot brake is movably connected to one end of each universal wheel. By setting up universal wheels and a foot brake, the operator puts anti-slip sleeves on both ends of the handle, then places their hand on the handle and pushes the conveyor to move it to the designated position via the universal wheels. After reaching the designated position, the operator steps on the foot brake to fix the device, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the device.
[0008] Preferably, a placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate. By setting up the placement plate and the pull ring, when it is necessary to observe the situation in the conveying chamber, the staff pulls the pull ring, and the placement plate is opened by rotating the connecting buckle, so as to observe the conveying situation of salmon and trout in the conveying chamber, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the placement plate.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting buckle is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate, and a number of fixing nuts are movably connected to the top of the connecting buckle. By setting the connecting buckle and fixing nuts, the worker can pull the pull ring and open the placement plate by rotating the connecting buckle, thereby achieving the purpose of assisting in opening the placement plate.
[0010] Preferably, a fish inlet is provided at the end away from the placement plate. A first baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the fish inlet, a fish release ramp is fixedly connected to one end of the fish inlet, and a second baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the fish release ramp. By setting up the fish inlet, the first baffle, the fish release ramp, and the second baffle, the staff puts the salmon and trout down from the fish release ramp, and the salmon and trout enter the fish inlet from the fish release ramp. The first baffle and the second baffle reduce the possibility of the salmon and trout jumping out, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the fish.
[0011] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor, and a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod. Anti-slip sleeves are movably connected to both ends of the handle. By setting the handle and anti-slip sleeves, the operator puts the anti-slip sleeves on both ends of the handle, and then places their hands on the handle to push the conveyor to the designated position via the casters. The anti-slip sleeves increase the friction between the operator's hand and the handle, reducing the possibility of accidents caused by slipping, thereby achieving the purpose of improving safety.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This buffered salmon and trout transfer device comprises a first transport trough, a second transport trough, a rotating shaft, and a turntable. When the operator pulls the second transport trough outward, the slider inside the trough begins to move outward, causing the second transport trough to extend outward so that its length can contact the water surface, reducing salmon and trout mortality due to height issues. Pressing down on the second transport trough causes the first transport trough to rotate the turntable downward, which in turn causes the rotating shaft to rotate, allowing the second transport trough to contact the water surface. Pulling up the lifting block raises the gate, allowing the salmon and trout to flow from the storage tank into the first transport trough. The cushioning effect of the rubber pad reduces the mortality rate of the salmon and trout, improving the working efficiency of the device.
[0014] 2. This buffer-type salmon and trout transfer device, by setting up an electric telescopic rod and a telescopic boom, allows the operator to adjust the height of the conveying chamber according to the height of the transfer device. Activating the electric telescopic rod causes it to move upward or downward, which in turn moves the entire conveying chamber upward or downward. Once the desired position is reached, the operator deactivates the electric telescopic rod, thus improving the device's practicality. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A buffer-type salmon and trout transfer device includes a conveying chamber 1. A fish storage box 25 is fixedly connected inside the conveying chamber 1. A gate 26 is movably connected to one end of the fish storage box 25. A lifting block 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the gate 26. A slide is provided at the end away from the gate 26. A symmetrical rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected inside the slide. The rotating shaft 2 and a turntable 3 are sleeved. A first transport trough 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the turntable 3. Slides are provided on both sides of the first transport trough 4. A slider 5 is movably connected inside the slide. A second transport trough 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 5. A rubber pad 7 is fixedly connected inside the first transport trough 4 and the second transport trough 6. Four electric telescopic rods 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveying chamber 1. Telescopic rods 9 are movably connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rods 8. A base plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rods 9.
[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, four support rods 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate 10, and universal wheels 12 are movably connected to the bottom end of the support rods 11. One end of the universal wheels 12 is movably connected to a foot brake 13.
[0025] With the above scheme, by setting universal wheels 12 and foot brake 13, the staff puts the anti-slip sleeve 24 on both ends of the handle 23, and then puts their hands on the handle 23 to push the conveyor 1 to move the conveyor 1 to the designated position through the universal wheels 12. After reaching the designated position, the staff steps on the foot brake 13 to fix the device, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the device.
[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, a placement plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber 1, and a pull ring 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 14.
[0027] With the above solution, by setting up the placement plate 14 and the pull ring 15, when it is necessary to observe the situation in the conveying room 1, the staff pulls the pull ring 15, and the placement plate 14 is opened by rotating the connecting buckle 16, so as to observe the conveying situation of salmon and trout in the conveying room 1, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the placement plate 14.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting buckle 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 14, and a plurality of fixing nuts 17 are movably connected to the top of the connecting buckle 16.
[0029] With the above solution, by setting the connecting buckle 16 and the fixing nut 17, the staff pulls the pull ring 15, and the placement plate 14 is opened by rotating the connecting buckle 16, thereby achieving the purpose of assisting in opening the placement plate 14;
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, a fish inlet 18 is provided at the end away from the placement plate 14, a first baffle 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the fish inlet 18, a fish release ramp 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the fish inlet 18, and a second baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the fish release ramp 20.
[0031] With the above scheme, by setting up the fish inlet 18, the first baffle 19, the fish release ramp 20 and the second baffle 21, the staff put the salmon and trout down from the fish release ramp 20 and the salmon and trout enter the fish inlet 18 from the fish release ramp 20. The first baffle 19 and the second baffle 21 reduce the possibility of the salmon and trout jumping out, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the fish.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying chamber 1, a handle 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 22, and anti-slip sleeves 24 are movably connected to both ends of the handle 23;
[0033] With the above solution, by setting handle 23 and anti-slip sleeve 24, the staff puts the anti-slip sleeve 24 on both ends of handle 23, and then puts their hands on handle 23 to push the conveyor 1 to the designated position through caster wheels 12. The anti-slip sleeve 24 increases the friction between the staff's hands and handle 23, reducing the possibility of accidents caused by slipping, thereby achieving the purpose of improving safety.
[0034] In this embodiment, a buffer-type salmon and trout transfer device is used. First, the worker lowers salmon and trout from one pool onto the fish release ramp 20. The salmon and trout enter the fish inlet 18 from the ramp 20 and finally fall into the fish storage box 25. The worker then places anti-slip sleeves 24 on both ends of the handle 23, and then pushes the transfer chamber 1 using the casters 12 to move it to another fish pool. Once the designated position is reached, the worker depresses the foot brake 13 to fix the device. The worker adjusts the height of the transfer chamber 1 according to the height of the fish pool, and activates the electric telescopic rod 8. The electric telescopic rod 8 causes the telescopic rod 9 to move upwards or downwards, which in turn moves the entire transfer chamber 1 upwards or downwards. Once the appropriate position is reached, the worker deactivates the electric telescopic rod 8 and pulls the second transfer mechanism outwards. The slider 5 moves outward from the inside of the trough 6, causing the second transport trough 6 to extend outward, so that the length of the second transport trough 6 can contact the water surface, reducing the mortality of salmon and trout due to height issues. Pressing down on the second transport trough 6 causes the first transport trough 4 to drive the turntable 3 to start rotating downward. The turntable 3 causes the rotating shaft 2 to rotate with it, allowing the second transport trough 6 to contact the water surface. Pulling up the lifting block 27 raises the gate 26, and the salmon and trout flow out of the fish storage tank 25 and fall into the first transport trough 4. The cushioning of the rubber pad 7 reduces the mortality rate of the salmon and trout. Then, the force of the water flow transports the salmon and trout into the water. When it is necessary to observe the situation in the transport room 1, the staff pulls the pull ring 15, and the rotation of the connecting buckle 16 opens the placement plate 14, allowing observation of the transport of salmon and trout in the transport room 1.
