Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubation technology, specifically a fish fry sorting incubator. Background Technology
[0002] Fish fry hatching is a crucial step in aquaculture, and its success or failure directly affects subsequent farming efficiency.
[0003] Patent CN219537179U discloses a fish fry incubator, including an incubation component and a filtration component. The incubation component includes an incubation box and a perforated baffle installed on the inner wall of the incubation box. The patent includes filter plates. When impurities settle in the water, a connecting rod sends the impurities into the inner chamber of the filtration box. The first and second filter plates installed inside the filtration box can perform preliminary filtration of the incoming impurities. The dirt-blocking filter plate installed on the outside of the water inlet pipe can filter impurities in the water around the water inlet pipe. The heating pipe can heat the water to a suitable temperature before the water pump sends the water out. After the water flows out from the water outlet pipe, it passes through the buffer of the filter bag to perform final filtration of impurities in the water. The first filter plate, the second filter plate, the dirt-blocking filter plate, and the filter bag work together to perform multi-layer filtration of impurities in the water, preventing impurities from flowing back into the incubation box with the water flow, polluting the internal environment of the box, and affecting the survival environment of the fish fry.
[0004] As shown in the above technology, fish fry need to be fed regularly during the hatching process. The amount of feed required varies at different stages of hatching. Every once in a while, fish fry at a certain growth stage need to be driven away and their habitat changed. Furthermore, during the process of unpacking, piling up, and feeding the feed on a large scale, pebbles and sand may be mixed in. These may be accidentally ingested by the fish fry, affecting their growth and seriously impacting the hatching rate. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0026] Example 1: A fish fry sorting and incubating device, comprising:
[0027] The support frame 1 has a hatching bucket 2 fixedly connected to its surface. The bottom of the hatching bucket 2 is connected to a hatching hopper 3. A filter screen is installed at the top of the hatching hopper 3 to ensure that fish feces fall downwards and fish and feed cannot pass through.
[0028] Drive component 4, one side of drive component 4 is fixedly connected to one side of incubation tank 2, drive component 4 is used to effectively rotate the sorting mechanism in the fish fry incubator.
[0029] The feeding component 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the hatching tank 2. The feeding component 5 is used to effectively feed the fish fry incubator. With the setting of the drive component 4 and the setting of the drive motor 42, the isolation fan blades 44 are directly driven to push the fish fry at four different stages, so that they can be directly transferred to the appropriate feeding area, ensuring that fish fry at different growth stages can be directly changed to the appropriate habitat. When necessary, the drive motor 42 can be directly turned on to make all the fish fry swim continuously in the hatching tank 2, which can greatly increase the amount of movement of the fish fry and improve their disease resistance. Furthermore, the setting of the outer round sleeve 49 and the top plate 410 ensures that there are always two areas inside the hatching tank 2 that are sealed by the top plate 410, which can effectively maintain the temperature in the hatching tank 2 during the hatching process. The top plate 410 can slide and rotate inside the outer round sleeve 49, change its position as needed, and can also be finally disassembled and maintained through the external pull-in plate 47, which improves the reliability of the incubator during use.
[0030] Example 2 differs from Example 1 mainly in that: a fish fry sorting incubator, the drive assembly 4 includes a support frame 41 fixedly connected to one side of the incubation tank 2, a drive motor 42 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the support frame 41, a drive shaft 43 fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor 42 via a coupling, an isolation fan blade 44 fixedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft 43, one side of the isolation fan blade 44 being curved, a working block 45 fixedly connected to the surface of the incubation tank 2, a receiving slot 46 opened on the surface of the working block 45, a receiving plate 47 movably connected to the inner wall of the receiving slot 46, a movable slot block 48 movably passing through one side of the receiving plate 47, an outer sleeve 49 fixedly connected to one side of the movable slot block 48 via a connecting plate, and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 49 movably connected to... The device includes a top plate 410, which is semi-circular and can cover two incubation areas at a time. The top of the top plate 410 has a threaded groove for threaded sealing and can accommodate a heating mechanism. The feeding assembly 5 includes a feeding hopper 51 fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the incubation tank 2. The surface shell of the feeding hopper 51 is a screen to ensure feed leakage. The top of the feeding hopper 51 is connected to an inlet pipe 52, and the top of the inlet pipe 52 is movably connected to a filter disc 53. A handle 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the filter disc 53. By using the feeding assembly 5, impurities in the material can be directly filtered through the filter disc 53. After feeding, the feed can seep into the incubation tank 2 through the mesh on the surface of the feeding hopper 51. In addition, a handle 54 is provided on the outside of the filter disc 53 for easy and quick replacement and maintenance.
[0031] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0032] During operation, sufficient water is added to the hatching tank 2, and feed is poured through the filter plate 53. After impurities in the feed are filtered out, the feed enters the hatching tank 2 through the screen on the surface of the feeding tank 51. Fish fry are then placed into the hatching tank 2. At regular intervals, when the fry reach a certain stage of growth, the drive motor 42 in the support frame 41 is activated. This drives the isolation fan blades 44 to rotate via the drive shaft 43, simultaneously rotating the fish fry to change their growth location. The feed added to the different feeding tanks 51 varies over time. If necessary, the fry rearing area needs to be kept warm. Rotate the top plate 410 in the outer sleeve 49 to cover the fish fry area. When disassembling and maintaining the top plate 410, pull the connecting plate 47 outward from the connecting slot 46. The connecting plate 47 slides along the moving block 48. After the connecting plate 47 is in contact with the connecting slot 46, pull the moving block 48 and the outer sleeve 49 directly to disassemble and maintain the top plate 410. When maintaining the filter disc 53, simply lift the handle 54 to separate the filter disc 53 from the inner wall of the feed pipe 52. When the operation of the device is completely finished, restore the device to its original state.
