Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to an integrated snail-catching and algae-killing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Water is an essential life resource for humankind, and large amounts of water are needed in many situations. However, human society's environment and equipment can pollute water bodies. Since water needs to be recycled, polluted water must be treated before it can be recycled. Planting water lilies in the water body to be treated is a relatively effective way to manage water bodies.

[0003] However, due to the influence of the aquatic ecological environment, a large amount of algae will also grow and attach in the area where water lilies are planted. When the algae block the sunlight, the normal growth of water lilies is affected, and golden apple snails will also spread in the area where water lilies are planted and feed on the water lilies, which will cause serious damage to the water lilies.

[0004] To address this, a snail-catching and algae-killing integrated machine is proposed to clean up algae and golden apple snails in water lily planting areas. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated snail-catching and algae-killing machine, which is equipped with a golden apple snail trap to catch golden apple snails in the water lily planting area, and also has a photocatalytic processor to pump out the water in the water lily planting area to kill algae, and then put the water back into the water lily planting area.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A snail-catching and algae-killing integrated machine includes a base, a shell, a catalyst, and a separator. The catalyst is fixedly installed on the top wall of the base, and the shell is also fixedly installed on the top wall of the base. The catalyst is located inside the shell and is equipped with an ultraviolet photocatalytic device. The bottom of the catalyst has a water inlet, and the top of the catalyst has a water outlet pipe. One end of the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to a Venturi tube. The separator is fixedly installed on the top wall of the base, and one end of the water inlet is connected to the separator. A golden apple snail trap is also fixedly installed on the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the golden apple snail trap includes a collection box, a snail-attracting port, a fan, a partition, and an inducing device. The inducing device and the partition are both located inside the collection box. The fan is fixedly installed on the partition. A grid is also slidably installed on the collection box. The inducing device is located on the grid. The trap also includes a top cover, which is rotatably installed on the collection box via a hinge.

[0009] Furthermore, the inducing device includes a screw cap, a liquid storage tank, and a volatilization rod. The liquid storage tank is threadedly connected to the screw cap, and the top of the liquid storage tank has multiple spaced through holes. The volatilization rod is fixedly installed on the through holes.

[0010] Specifically, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the grid, and a circular placement groove is formed on the mounting plate. The liquid storage tank is placed in the circular placement groove, and the evaporation rod is arc-shaped and made of fiber material. The liquid storage tank contains a golden apple snail trapping agent, which is a liquid, such as a sugar-vinegar-wine trapping liquid, the material components of which are brown sugar, vinegar, white wine, and water. Golden apple snails are sensitive to the smell of sugar and vinegar.

[0011] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the collection box, and a guide plate is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor through a coupling. The guide plate is located directly behind the screw inlet, and the motor is a stepper motor.

[0012] An installation box is welded to the side wall of the collection box. The motor is fixedly installed inside the installation box. The motor drives the guide plate to rotate, so that the apple snails that have climbed onto the guide plate are rotated to the bottom of the guide plate. When the two guide plates are placed horizontally, the distance between the two ends of the guide plate and the grid and the inner side wall of the collection box is small, so the apple snails cannot climb out.

[0013] An air pump is also fixedly installed inside the mounting box. The air pump is an electric piston type, and the output end of the air pump is connected to a booster nozzle. The nozzle direction is parallel to the direction of the guide plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a control panel is provided on the back of the housing, and the motor and the fan are electrically connected to the control panel, as is the catalyst.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Golden apple snail traps are installed to lure golden apple snails in the water lily planting area to collection boxes on the shore. This allows for regular manual cleaning of the accumulated snails in the collection boxes, reducing the number of golden apple snails in the water lily planting area and minimizing their impact on water lily cultivation. Separators and photocatalysts are also installed. An external water pump is used to pump water from the water lily planting area to the separators and photocatalysts for algae control, further reducing the amount of algae in the water lily planting area.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an integrated snail-catching and algae-killing machine, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0025] A snail-catching and algae-killing integrated machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a housing 3, a catalyst 4, and a separator 2. The catalyst 4 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the base 1, and the housing 3 is also fixedly mounted on the top wall of the base 1. The catalyst 4 is located inside the housing 3 and is equipped with an ultraviolet photocatalytic device. The catalyst 4 has a water inlet 10 at its bottom and a water outlet 11 at its top, with one end of the water outlet 11 fixedly connected to a Venturi tube 5. The separator 2 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the base 1, and one end of the water inlet 10 is connected to the separator 2. The catalyst 4 contains an ultraviolet lamp, a photocatalytic plate, etc., constituting an ultraviolet photocatalytic device. This device is already publicly available technology and will not be described further.

[0026] A golden apple snail trap is also fixedly installed on the base 1 for trapping snails. Further, the golden apple snail trap includes a collection box 12, a snail-attracting opening 18, a fan 16, a partition 15, and a triggering device. The triggering device and the partition 15 are both located inside the collection box 12. The fan 16 is fixedly installed on the partition 15. A grid 13 is also slidably installed on the collection box 12, and the triggering device is located on the grid 13. A top cover 19 is also included, which is rotatably mounted on the collection box 12 via a hinge.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the induction device includes a screw cap 14, a liquid storage tank 20, and a volatilization rod 21. The liquid storage tank 20 is threadedly connected to the screw cap 14. The top of the liquid storage tank 20 has a plurality of through holes arranged at intervals, and the volatilization rod 21 is fixedly installed on the through holes.

[0028] Specifically, a mounting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the grille 13, and a circular placement groove is provided on the mounting plate 24. The liquid storage tank 20 is placed in the circular placement groove, and the evaporation rod 21 is arc-shaped and made of fiber material. The liquid storage tank 20 contains a golden apple snail trapping agent, which is a liquid, such as a sugar-vinegar-wine trapping solution.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a motor 23 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the collection box 12. A guide plate 22 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 23 through a coupling. The guide plate 22 is located directly behind the screw inlet 18. The motor 23 is a stepper motor 23.

[0030] Specifically, an installation box is welded to the side wall of the collection box 12, and the motor 23 is fixedly installed inside the installation box. The motor 23 drives the guide plate 22 to rotate, so that the apple snails that have climbed onto the guide plate 22 are rotated to the bottom of the guide plate 22. When the two guide plates 22 are placed horizontally, the distance between the two ends of the guide plate 22 and the grid 13 and the inner side wall of the collection box 12 is small, so the apple snails cannot climb out.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, an air pump 25 is also fixedly installed inside the mounting box. The air pump 25 is an electric piston type air pump 25. The output end of the air pump 25 is connected to a booster nozzle, and the nozzle direction is parallel to the direction of the guide plate 22.

[0032] Furthermore, a control panel 8 is provided on the back of the outer casing 3, and the motor 23 and the fan 16 are both electrically connected to the control panel 8, and the catalyst 4 is electrically connected to the control panel 8.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the top side wall of the separator 2. One end of the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to an external water pump, which pumps the algae water into the separator 2. The separator 2 is equipped with an algae water separation device. A second water pipe 7 is connected to the bottom wall of the separator 2 and is connected to the water inlet 10. A first water pipe 6 is connected to the top wall of the separator 2, and the other end of the first water pipe 6 is connected to the outside. After passing through the algae water separation device, the algae water is separated into clear water, which flows out from the top water pipe 6. The remaining algae water flows out from the bottom water pipe 7 and enters the catalyst 4 through the water inlet 10.

[0034] The algae water entering the catalyst 4 is killed by the ultraviolet photocatalytic device. Under the action of the bottom water pressure, it continues to flow upward and flows into the venturi tube 55 through the outlet pipe 11. After being aerated by the venturi tube 55, the required clean water is obtained.

[0035] The separator 2 is a photocatalytic integrated water treatment device (CN223073959U) that was applied for by the applicant on August 12, 2024 and authorized on July 1, 2025. Its instruction manual clearly describes the structure and working principle of the separator 2 and the catalyst 4, which will not be described here.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a control panel 8 is provided on the back of the outer shell 3. The catalyst 4 is electrically connected to the control panel 8. An external water pump can also be connected to the control panel 8 via a wire and intelligently controlled by the control panel 8. The control panel 8 is equipped with a stepper motor 23 driver program and a timed start program. The timed start program triggers the motor 23 driver program at regular intervals, causing the stepper motor 23 to start at regular intervals. When the stepper motor 23 starts, the air pump 25 also starts at the same time, pumping high-pressure gas to the guide plate 22 to blow the golden apple snails on the guide plate 22 to the bottom of the collection box 12.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] The snail-attracting port 18 is threaded, and a PVC pipe is connected to the threaded port. One end of the PVC pipe is placed in the water lily planting area. The stepper motor 23 is set to rotate 90 degrees each time, and the time interval between each start is set to 24 hours through a timed start program. The start-up time of the fan 16 is set to 1 hour, and the time interval between each start of the fan 16 is 12 hours. The fan 16 blows the scent emitted from the volatile rod 21 to the snail-attracting port 18, so that the scent is spread to the water lily planting area through the PVC pipe, attracting the golden apple snails to climb into the PVC pipe and continue to climb up the guide plate 22. Due to the scent attraction of the volatile rod 21, the golden apple snails will not walk back or move around randomly, so that multiple golden apple snails gather on the guide plate 22. The motor 23 starts and rotates the guide plate 22 downward. The high-pressure gas blown out by the air pump 25 blows the golden apple snails off and they fall to the bottom of the collection box 12. The golden apple snails in the collection box 12 can be cleaned manually by opening the top cover 19 periodically.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Connect the inlet 10 of the external water pump to a water pipe, place one end of the water pipe into the water area of ​​the water lily planting area, connect the separator 2 and the outlet of the external water pump through the inlet pipe 9, connect the water pipe to the outlet of the Venturi tube 5, and place the other end into the water area of ​​the water lily planting area. When the golden apple snails are manually cleaned, start the water pump and photocatalyst 4, use the separator 2 and the photocatalyst 4 to kill and clean the algae in the water, and then guide the clean water back into the water lily planting area.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
