Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of algae cultivation technology, and specifically relates to an algae cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] In aquaculture, adding algae to aquatic feed can provide comprehensive and high-quality nutrition and promote growth and development. Therefore, using culture tanks to cultivate algae is convenient. However, existing culture tanks, which are transparent and placed outdoors to cultivate algae by sunlight, suffer from the following problem: during the cultivation process, the algae, due to phototaxis, will attach to the side walls of the tank and gradually cover the side walls, affecting the visible light level inside the tank and thus hindering algae cultivation.

A vertical pipe 3 is rotatably installed in the through hole 2 through a sealed bearing. An air pump 4 is provided below the transparent box 1. The air outlet end of the air pump 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the vertical pipe 3 through a sealed bearing.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper layer of the transparent box 1 is provided with the same vertical pipe 3, telescopic pipe 8, limiting slide rail 11 and limiting slider 12. The upper end of the upper vertical pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the water outlet of the water pump 13 through a sealed bearing. The water pump 13 is fixedly installed on the transparent box 1. The movable end of the upper telescopic pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the water pipe 14. Several spray heads 15 are evenly fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the water pipe 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, a bracket 16 is fixedly installed between the upper and lower telescopic tubes 8, a waterproof motor 17 is fixedly installed on the bracket 16, and an agitator blade 18 is fixedly installed on the waterproof motor 17. The waterproof motor 17 adopts the existing mature slip ring power supply technology, which will not be described in detail in this application.
[0029] In this embodiment, a constant temperature heating rod 19 is fixedly installed on the bracket 16.
[0030] In this embodiment, several supplementary lighting tubes 20 are fixedly installed on the transparent box 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, a controller 21 is provided on one side of the transparent box 1.
