[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine fish growth technology, specifically a marine fish growth index measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] Marine fish refer to fish that live in the ocean, typically including reef fish, ornamental marine fish, and commercially caught fish. They are widely distributed in various sea areas around the world and possess diverse forms and habits. Marine fish are beloved for their colorful appearances, unique behavioral characteristics, and ability to adapt to marine environments.

[0003] Currently, to monitor the growth of marine fish, growth indicators, such as weight, are typically measured.

The screw 21 is rotatably connected between the two sets of side plates 20 through bearings, and the thread directions of the two ends of the screw 21 are set to opposite from the middle. The two ends of the screw 21 are threadedly connected to sliders 22. Several universal wheels 23 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliders 22, and the universal wheels 23 are in contact with the base plate 10. By setting the universal wheels 23, the bending phenomenon of the screw 21 can be avoided.

A first servo motor 25 is fixedly installed on one set of side plates 20, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 25 is fixedly connected to the screw 21.

[0039] It also includes: two sets of weighing components for measuring the weight of marine fish;

[0040] The weighing assembly includes: a support plate 30, a weight sensor 31, and a bearing plate 32;

[0041] The support plate 30 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 22, the weight sensor 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 30, and the bearing plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the weight sensor 31.

[0042] It also includes: a fixing component for securing marine fish, and the fixing component is located on the weighing component;

[0043] The fixing components include: a square plate 40, a rotating shaft 41, an I-beam wheel 42, a cloth belt 43, and a second servo motor 44;

[0044] Two sets of square plates 40 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the bearing plate 32. The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the square plate 40 through bearings.

[0046] First, the screw 21 is rotated by the first servo motor 25. As the screw 21 rotates, the two sets of sliders 22 move in opposite directions until the distance between the two weighing components matches the length of the saltwater fish, meaning the head and tail of the fish are positioned on each weighing component. This can be adjusted according to actual conditions. Then, the saltwater fish is placed on the support plate 32. After placement, the two sets of fabric straps 43 are connected using Velcro. After connection, the second servo motor 44 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate the I-beam wheel 42, thus adjusting the fabric straps. 43 is wrapped until the marine fish is fixed on the support plate 32 by the cloth tape 43. At this time, the weight index of the marine fish can be measured by the weight sensor 31. Thus, the growth index of the marine fish can be measured. Before measuring the growth index of the marine fish, the marine fish can be pre-treated by wiping (to remove moisture) as needed to further improve the weighing accuracy of the marine fish. In addition, during weighing, external equipment (including but not limited to laser rangefinder, camera, etc.) can be used to measure the length and other indicators of the marine fish.
