Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a prefabricated aquaculture box. Background Technology
[0002] An aquaculture tank is an artificial facility used for raising aquatic animals. It is designed to provide a well-controlled aquatic environment for aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, and shellfish. It is usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as plastic, steel, or alloys, and its structure is robust and waterproof, capable of withstanding various changes in natural conditions in the water. The core function of an aquaculture tank is to provide a suitable growth environment by regulating water quality, temperature, oxygen content, and water flow system, thereby promoting the healthy growth of aquatic animals. Aquaculture tanks generally include basic components such as the tank body, water inlet and outlet system, filtration system, and support frame. Some high-end designs are also equipped with real-time monitoring systems for dynamic management and adjustment of water quality.
[0003] Existing aquaculture tanks still have some problems in use. For example, aquaculture tanks usually need to be equipped with independent aeration and feeding equipment. This independent design leads to high energy consumption and complex equipment management. Especially in small and medium-sized aquaculture scenarios, it is difficult to balance the cost and operating efficiency of the equipment, which increases the economic pressure of aquaculture. In addition, in terms of feeding, most existing aquaculture tanks directly put the feed from the storage tank into the aquaculture tank. This method causes the feed to be too concentrated in the aquaculture tank and difficult to distribute evenly, which affects the feeding efficiency and health of aquatic organisms, and thus affects the aquaculture effect.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a prefabricated aquaculture tank. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantages of high energy consumption of independently designed aeration equipment and feed delivery equipment, and overly concentrated feed delivery. Therefore, we propose a prefabricated aquaculture box.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a prefabricated aquaculture tank, comprising a tank body, a top cover on the top of the tank body, and a feed box fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover; an aeration assembly on the top of the top cover, comprising an aeration pipe fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the top cover, a piston cylinder fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover, an elastic piston rod slidably connected to the inner cavity of the piston cylinder, and an air inlet pipe connected to one side of the piston cylinder, one end of the air inlet pipe being connected to one end of the aeration pipe, and used to oxygenate the tank body through the aeration assembly; a feeding assembly on the top of the top cover, comprising a feeding port opened in the inner cavity of the top cover, a feeding rod movably connected to the inner cavity of the feeding port, and a feeding pipe connected to the bottom of one side of the feed box, one end of the feeding pipe being connected to one side of the inner cavity of the feeding port, and used to evenly feed feed into the tank body through the feeding assembly.
[0007] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the material throwing rod is rotatably connected to the top side of the bracket via a movable shaft, and a passive gear is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the material throwing rod.
[0009] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover, a concave frame is fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder, a rotating rod is movably connected to the inner cavity of the concave frame, and a transmission gear is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.
[0010] Preferably, a cam is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft surface, and one side of the cam contacts one end of the elastic piston rod.
[0011] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is connected to one side of the piston cylinder surface, and a one-way valve is installed on the surface of both the exhaust pipe and the intake pipe.
[0012] Preferably, threaded holes are provided around the top of the box, and bolts are threaded around the inner cavity of the top cover, with the surface of the bolts threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded holes.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the box and top cover through the cooperation of bolts and threaded holes, significantly improving the portability and assembly efficiency of the aquaculture box. It is suitable for aquaculture scenarios of different scales. The top cover integrates a feeding component and an aeration component. The feeding component is driven by a motor to rotate the feeding rod, so that the feed is evenly thrown into the box through the feeding port, avoiding feed accumulation and improving feeding accuracy. The aeration component uses a cam to drive the piston rod to reciprocate, and works with a one-way valve to achieve efficient oxygenation, ensuring stable dissolved oxygen in the water, thereby significantly improving the survival rate of aquatic products. This design achieves coordinated operation of feeding and aeration through mechanical linkage, reducing energy consumption and manual management costs.
[0015] 2. This utility model solves the problems of single function and poor sealing of traditional aquaculture boxes through integrated structural optimization. The aeration pipe built into the top cover is linked with the piston cylinder to form a high-efficiency aeration system, which can adjust the oxygen supply intensity according to the aquaculture needs. The feeding component is connected to the feed box to realize automated feeding and reduce manual intervention. In addition, the cylinder-driven concave frame and transmission gear further enhance the adjustability and stability of the equipment, ensuring smooth operation of the feeding bar. The threaded connection between the box body and the top cover not only ensures the sealing of the overall structure, but also facilitates cleaning and maintenance and extends service life. This device combines functionality, economy and environmental protection, providing efficient and reliable equipment support for modern aquaculture. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model is a prefabricated aquaculture box, including a box body 1. The overall structure of the box body 1 is composed of high-strength aluminum alloy plates to improve the sealing and waterproof performance of the box body 1. A top cover 2 is provided on the top of the box body 1. A door is movably connected to one side of the top of the top cover 2 via a hinge to facilitate the release and harvesting of aquatic products inside the box body 1. A vent is provided on one side of the top of the top cover 2, and a dustproof net is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the vent to maintain air balance inside the box body 1. A feed box 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover 2. A feed pipe is connected to the top of the feed box 3, and a valve is installed on the surface of the feed pipe. An aeration assembly is provided on the top of the top cover 2. The aeration assembly includes an aeration pipe 4 fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the top cover 2. A filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the aeration pipe 4 to prevent impurities inside the box body 1 from entering the aeration pipe 4. A piston cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover 2, and an elastic piston rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 5. The rod 6 can automatically reset after being squeezed by the cam 20, thereby ensuring that there is enough air inside the piston cylinder 5 to be discharged into the box 1. An air inlet pipe 7 is connected to one side of the piston cylinder 5, which is used to discharge air from the piston cylinder 5 into the aeration pipe 4. One end of the air inlet pipe 7 is connected to one end of the aeration pipe 4, and oxygen is added to the box 1 through the aeration assembly. A feeding assembly is provided on the top of the top cover 2, including a feeding port 8 opened in the inner cavity of the top cover 2. The bottom of the feeding port 8 is conical. By rotating the cone-shaped feeding rod 9 at the bottom, the bait can be evenly distributed into the box 1. The feeding rod 9 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the feeding port 8. Limiting plates are fixedly connected to the top four sides of the feeding port 8. The surface of the limiting plates is movably connected to the surface of the feeding rod, which can limit the feeding rod. The feeding pipe 10 is connected to the bottom of one side of the bait box 3. One end of the feeding pipe 10 is connected to one side of the inner cavity of the feeding port 8. The feeding component is used to evenly feed the bait into the box 1.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5Based on Embodiment 1, a bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. The bracket 11 supports the motor 12, the rotating shaft 13, and the feeding rod, etc. The motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 11. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. One end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 14. One end of the feeding rod 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the bracket 11 via a movable shaft. One side of the surface of the feeding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 15. A cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the top cover 2. A concave frame 17 is fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder 16. A groove is opened at the bottom of one side of the bracket 11. The surface of the concave frame 17 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the groove, which can limit the concave frame 17. A rotating rod 18 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the concave frame 17. One end of the rotating rod 18 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 19. By pushing the transmission gear 19 through the cylinder 16, the transmission gear 19 can mesh with both the drive gear 14 and the driven gear 15, thereby driving the feeding rod to rotate through the motor 12, thus achieving the desired effect. The bait is evenly dispersed and periodically added by the cylinder 16. A cam 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft 13. When the cylinder 16 pushes the rotating rod 18 to move, the transmission gear 19 meshes with the driving gear 14 and the driven gear 15 without affecting the stroke of the cam 20. One side of the cam 20 contacts one end of the elastic piston rod 6. An air outlet pipe 21 is connected to one side of the piston cylinder 5, allowing external air to enter the piston cylinder 5. Both the air outlet pipe 21 and the air inlet pipe 7 are equipped with one-way valves 22. The one-way valve 22 on the surface of the air outlet pipe 21 allows external air to enter the piston cylinder 5 but cannot be discharged from the air outlet pipe 21. The one-way valve 22 on the surface of the air inlet pipe 7 can discharge the air in the piston cylinder 5 into the aeration pipe 4 without sending the gas in the aeration pipe 4 back to the piston cylinder 5. Threaded holes are opened around the top of the box body 1. Bolts 23 are threaded around the inner cavity of the top cover 2. The surface of the bolts 23 is threaded to the inner cavity of the threaded holes.
[0028] Working Principle: When this prefabricated aquaculture tank is in operation, the top cover 2 is first quickly installed and fixed by bolt 23 engaging with the threaded hole on the top of the tank body 1, ensuring the airtightness of the tank body 1. After starting the motor 12, the rotating shaft 13 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. At the same time, the cam 20 rotates with the rotating shaft 13 and periodically squeezes the elastic piston rod 6, forcing the air in the piston cylinder 5 to be forced into the aeration pipe 4 through the one-way valve 22 of the air inlet pipe 7. Finally, the air bubbles are evenly released to the bottom of the tank body 1 through the aeration pipe 4, achieving efficient oxygenation. Simultaneously, the cylinder 16 pushes the concave frame 17 to make the transmission gear 19 mesh with the drive gear 14 and the driven gear 15, transmitting power to the aquarium. Feed rod 9; feed falls from feed box 3 into feed inlet 8 through feed pipe 10. Under the action of centrifugal force, feed rod 9 evenly throws feed to various areas of box 1 to avoid local accumulation. During feeding, cam 20 and elastic piston rod 6 reciprocate to achieve coordinated operation of aeration and feeding. Motor 12, a single drive source, meets both functions at the same time, significantly reducing energy consumption. When maintenance is required, the top cover 2 and box 1 can be separated by removing bolt 23 for easy cleaning or replacement of parts. The whole system realizes automated feeding, precise aeration and convenient disassembly and assembly of breeding box through mechanical linkage and modular design, effectively improving breeding efficiency and management convenience.
[0029] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
