Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of red swamp crayfish farming technology, specifically to an intelligent monitoring and regulation device for water quality in red swamp crayfish farming. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional red swamp crayfish farming, water quality management relies on manual, timed monitoring of parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature, which suffers from low efficiency and delayed response. Existing water quality monitoring equipment is mostly single-function, requiring manual intervention (such as manual aeration or water changes), and cannot achieve real-time dynamic control, easily leading to crayfish mortality due to sudden changes in water quality.
[0003] For example, a search revealed that Chinese patent CN210322990U discloses a monitoring device for aquaculture water of *Procambarus clarkii*, including a support base, a limiting base, and a fixing base. The support base has a groove in the center of its upper surface, and a support column is fixedly connected to the center of its lower surface by bolts. A fixing frame is welded to the periphery of the support column near its bottom, and positioning pillars are sleeved around the fixing frame near its perimeter. This invention provides a convenient positioning support by using the support column at the bottom of the support base, allowing users to easily install the device into the aquaculture water. Furthermore, by providing four positioning pillars in the fixing frame and fixing them to the limiting base, the device effectively positions and installs the positioning pillars into the aquaculture water when installing a pH meter and water quality analyzer, thus improving the stability of the pH meter and water quality analyzer during monitoring and overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0004] The above-mentioned utility model has the following problems:
[0005] Although the aforementioned devices can monitor water quality, they do not achieve fully automated closed-loop control and still rely on manual inspection and adjustment. This makes it impossible to meet the timeliness requirements for dynamic adjustment of water quality parameters in aquaculture, resulting in a delayed response to aquaculture environment regulation. Consequently, this increases the risk of stress-induced mortality in shrimp farming due to water quality fluctuations, ultimately affecting the yield per unit water volume and the survival rate of farmed organisms.
[0006] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an intelligent monitoring and regulation device for the water quality of red swamp crayfish farming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent monitoring and regulation device for the water quality of red swamp crayfish farming, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing monitoring devices lack automatic regulation functions and rely on manual operation.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A smart monitoring and regulation device for water quality in red swamp crayfish farming includes a bottom plate, a wastewater discharge and aeration mechanism, and a water exchange mechanism. A farming pond is installed at one end of the upper surface of the bottom plate. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the side wall of one end of the farming pond. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base. A multi-parameter sensor is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod. A top plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the farming pond. A waste bin is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate away from the farming pond. A wastewater discharge and aeration mechanism is installed at the upper surface of the waste bin and the top of the top plate. A water exchange tank is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate away from the waste bin. A water exchange mechanism is installed at the upper end of the water exchange tank.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper surface of the top plate is rotatably connected to multiple sets of rotating rods, the multiple sets of rotating rods are arranged at equal intervals, a driven gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod located at the center of the top plate, a driving gear is rotatably connected to one end of the driven gear, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving gear, the servo motor is fixedly connected to the top plate, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the rotating rods is provided with a belt drive assembly between it and the adjacent rotating rod; a sludge suction pump is provided between the waste bin and the aquaculture pond; a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the sludge suction pump; the waste bin and the discharge pipe pass through and are fixedly connected; a first sludge suction pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the sludge suction pump; multiple sets of second sludge suction pipes are fixedly connected to the other end of the first sludge suction pipe; and each of the second sludge suction pipes is connected to the adjacent rotating rod through a sealed bearing.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the rotating rods is fixedly connected to a transmission rod at its bottom end, and the ends of the transmission rods are rotatably connected to the aquaculture pond. Multiple sets of transmission sleeves are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each transmission rod, and the multiple sets of transmission sleeves are arranged at equal intervals. Multiple sets of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each transmission sleeve, and a water-dispensing device is fixedly connected to the upper end of each connecting rod. Multiple sets of connecting rods are arranged at equal intervals. A suction plate is fixedly connected to the end of each transmission rod, and multiple suction heads are provided at the bottom end of each suction plate.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a water exchange pump and a return pump are provided between the base plate and the water exchange tank. The water exchange pump and the return pump are both fixedly connected to the base plate. The water exchange pump and the return pump are both connected to the base plate and the water exchange tank through water exchange pipes. A filter plate is movably clipped to one end of the inside of the water exchange tank, and an activated carbon adsorption mesh is movably clipped to the other end of the inside of the water exchange tank.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a control panel is provided on the outer wall of the aquaculture pond, and a central processing unit is provided inside the control panel. The central processing unit is electrically connected to a multi-parameter sensor, and the central processing unit is also electrically connected to a servo motor, a sludge suction pump, a water exchange pump, and a return pump.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. Because it is equipped with a sewage discharge and oxygenation mechanism, it collects key water quality parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature in real time through a multi-parameter processor. Once the data exceeds the threshold, the central processor automatically triggers the servo motor, sewage suction pump, water exchange pump and return pump to work together, completely eliminating the limitations of manual inspection and manual adjustment, realizing the full automation of water quality monitoring, analysis and control, significantly improving the efficiency of aquaculture environment regulation and effectively reducing labor costs;
[0017] Driven by a servo motor, the water-dispensing device rotates in a circular motion to achieve dynamic oxygenation. Simultaneously, a suction pump collects crayfish feces and impurities into a waste bin via a suction plate, suction head, and multi-stage suction pipes (first and second suction pipes). This integrated design of oxygenation and waste removal ensures stable dissolved oxygen levels in the water while promptly removing pollutants, effectively preventing water quality deterioration and significantly improving the self-purification capacity of the aquaculture environment and the survival quality of the crayfish. The vortex effect generated by the spoon-shaped water-dispensing device not only enhances the oxygenation effect but also promotes a three-dimensional circulation of water within the aquaculture pond, breaking down blind spots in water quality monitoring. In a dynamic water flow environment, the multi-parameter processor can acquire more representative water quality data, avoiding single-point monitoring errors and ensuring the real-time accuracy of parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature monitoring, providing a reliable basis for precise water quality control.
[0018] 2. Equipped with a water exchange mechanism, the circulating water exchange system, consisting of a water exchange pump, a water exchange tank, and a return pump, uses filter plates to intercept large particles of impurities and activated carbon adsorption nets to adsorb tiny pollutants and odor substances, forming a dual purification barrier. Combined with the pre-sludge suction of the sewage discharge and oxygenation mechanism, it achieves deep purification of the aquaculture pond water quality, effectively reducing the concentration of harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite, maintaining the ecological balance of the water body. The filter plates and activated carbon adsorption nets adopt a pull-out design, which can be quickly disassembled through the top handle, greatly simplifying the equipment maintenance process, saving water resource costs, and improving the economic benefits and environmental friendliness of aquaculture.

[0029] It should be added that the telescopic rod 4 can be height adjusted to facilitate water quality testing at different depths;
[0030] It should be added that both the multi-parameter sensor 5 and the telescopic rod 4 are waterproof.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , 3 4. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that multiple sets of rotating rods 7 are rotatably connected to the upper surface of the top plate 6. These rotating rods 7 are arranged at equal intervals. A driven gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 7 located at the center of the top plate 6. A driving gear 9 is rotatably connected to one end of the driven gear 8. A servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving gear 9.

A belt drive assembly 11 is provided between each rotating rod 7 and its adjacent rotating rod 7. A sewage suction pump 13 is provided between the waste bin 12 and the aquaculture pond 2. A discharge pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the sewage suction pump 13. The waste bin 12 and the discharge pipe 14 pass through each other. The pump 13 is fixedly connected to a first suction pipe 15 at its input end. Multiple sets of second suction pipes 16 are fixedly connected to the other end of the first suction pipe 15. Each second suction pipe 16 is connected to an adjacent rotating rod 7 via a sealed bearing 17. A transmission rod 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each rotating rod 7. The ends of the transmission rods 18 are rotatably connected to the aquaculture pond 2. Multiple sets of transmission sleeves 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each transmission rod 18. These transmission sleeves 19 are arranged at equal intervals. Multiple sets of connecting rods 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each transmission sleeve 19. A water-dispensing device 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each connecting rod 20. These connecting rods 20 are arranged at equal intervals. A suction plate 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer wall of each transmission rod 18. Multiple suction heads 23 are provided at the bottom end of each suction plate 22.
[0033] Start the servo motor 10, which drives the drive gear 9 to rotate. The drive gear 9 drives the driven gear 8 to rotate, and the driven gear 8 drives the corresponding rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 and the adjacent rotating rod 7 rotate synchronously through the transmission effect of the belt drive assembly 11 set on the outer wall.
[0034] The rotation of the rotating rod 7 will drive the transmission rod 18 at the bottom to rotate synchronously. The transmission rod 18 will drive the multiple sets of transmission sleeves 19 on the outer wall to rotate synchronously. The transmission sleeves 19 will drive the multiple sets of connecting rods 20 on the outer wall and the water pusher 21 to rotate synchronously in a circular motion, thereby circulating and turning the water in the breeding pond 2 to achieve the oxygenation effect.
[0035] When the transmission rod 18 rotates, the suction plate 22 at the bottom will also rotate synchronously. At the same time as the servo motor 10 is started, the sludge pump 13 is started. The sludge pump 13 sucks up the sludge through the first suction pipe 15, the second suction pipe 16 and the suction head 23 at the bottom of the suction plate 22, sucking out the feces excreted by the red swamp crayfish and the impurities settled in the water into the waste bin 12, which will then be cleaned up by the staff.
[0036] It should be added that the second suction pipe 16 and the rotating rod 7 are both connected by a sealed bearing 17, and the second suction pipe 16, the rotating rod 7, the transmission rod 18 and the inner wall of the sealed bearing 17 are all connected through each other.
[0037] It should be added that both the rotating rod 7 and the transmission rod 18 are hollow rods;
[0038] It should be added that the belt drive assembly 11 consists of a pulley and a drive belt. The rotation of the central rotating rod 7 drives the rotating rods 7 on both sides to rotate synchronously. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0039] It should be added that the water dispenser 21 is spoon-shaped. When the water dispenser 21 rotates, it can better drive the water flow and perform oxygenation. In addition, when the water dispenser 21 rotates, it can keep the water in the breeding pond 2 circulating, which is convenient for the multi-parameter processor to perform real-time monitoring and prevent the multi-parameter processor from only being able to monitor the water quality of a single area.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , 5 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the previous embodiment in that a water exchange pump 25 and a return pump 26 are provided between the base plate 1 and the water exchange tank 24. Both the water exchange pump 25 and the return pump 26 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Both the water exchange pump 25 and the return pump 26 are connected to the base plate 1 and the water exchange tank 24 through water exchange pipes. A filter plate 27 is movably clipped to one end of the inside of the water exchange tank 24, and an activated carbon adsorption net 28 is movably clipped to one end of the inside of the water exchange tank 24.
[0042] Start the water exchange pump 25. The water exchange pump 25 pumps the water in the breeding pond 2 into the water exchange tank 24 through the connected water pipe. The water passes through the filter plate 27 and activated carbon adsorption net 28 in the water exchange tank 24 to filter the impurities remaining in the water. Then, it is fed back into the breeding pond 2 through the return pump 26, thus completing the water exchange work of the breeding pond 2.
[0043] It should be added that the filter plate 27 and the activated carbon adsorption mesh 28 can be pulled out of the water tank 24 through the handle on the top for maintenance or replacement.
[0044] It should be added that most of the impurities have been extracted by the suction head 23 of the sewage discharge and oxygenation mechanism, and the remaining impurities can be filtered again by the filter plate 27 and the activated carbon adsorption net 28 to ensure water quality.
