Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically a fish fry incubator with temperature detection function. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture, as a popular agricultural technology, offers significant economic benefits through the cultivation, feeding, management, and harvesting of aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, and algae. Fish fry cultivation involves hatching, which requires stable temperature control to minimize problems like low hatching rates and long hatching periods caused by temperature fluctuations or substandard temperatures. Currently, hatching boxes are commonly used for fish fry cultivation. These boxes are equipped with temperature monitoring devices and heaters for water temperature regulation. However, placing the heaters directly within the hatching box poses safety risks; a malfunction can directly affect the fry. Furthermore, the heaters are typically fixed in place, leading to temperature variations within the hatching box. Additionally, the fixed temperature monitoring devices only monitor localized temperatures, resulting in deficiencies in the fry hatching process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a fish fry incubator with temperature detection function. A water pump system draws water from the incubator, and the water temperature can be detected during the pumping process. When the water temperature is lower than the incubation temperature, a separate heating box can be used to heat the pumped water, improving safety. The system also allows for further temperature monitoring after heating, facilitating precise temperature control within the incubator. Furthermore, the incubator acts as a filter during water flow, ensuring water quality and facilitating the cultivation of hatched fish fry. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fish fry incubator with temperature detection function, comprising an incubator and a heating chamber. A water pump assembly is installed on the outside of the incubator. A water inlet pipe communicating with the inner cavity of the incubator is provided at the water inlet of the water pump assembly. A filter assembly is provided in the inner cavity of the incubator near the water inlet pipe. A first detection chamber is provided between the water pump assembly and the heating chamber. The water outlet of the water pump assembly is connected to the first detection chamber. The inner cavity of the first detection chamber is connected to the inner cavity of the heating chamber through a pipe. A second detection chamber communicating with the inner cavity of the heating chamber is provided on the side of the heating chamber away from the first detection chamber. Temperature sensors are provided in both the first and second detection chambers. A connecting pipe communicating with the inner cavity of the second detection chamber is installed on the side of the second detection chamber. The end of the connecting pipe away from the second detection chamber is fixed to the side of the incubator away from the connecting pipe and communicates with the inner cavity of the incubator.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a heater is installed on the side of the heating box, and the heating end of the heater is located inside the heating box.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper side of the incubator is open, and the side of the incubator is provided with a cover plate to cover the open. The side of the cover plate has a feeding port, and a sliding cover is slidably provided on the upper side of the cover plate to cover and seal the feeding port. A limiting frame is provided on the upper side of the cover plate to limit the movement of the sliding cover.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the incubator is fixed with positioning frames on both sides, and a first slot is provided in the positioning frame. The filter assembly includes a protective net that is slidably disposed in the first slot, and a filter media pack located in the incubator is provided on the side of the protective net near the water pipe.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a collection box is provided near the protective net in the incubator, and the collection box is located on the side of the protective net away from the filter material pack. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the collection box, and a filter screen is installed in the drain outlet. An ear plate is fixed on the side of the collection box, a second slot is provided in the positioning frame, and a positioning plate is fixed on the side of the collection box. The positioning plate is slidably disposed in the second slot.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The fish fry incubator with temperature detection function of this utility model has a water pump unit that draws water from the incubator into the first detection box through a water pumping pipe. A temperature sensor installed on the first detection box detects the water temperature. Then the water flows into the heating box, where the heater adjusts the water temperature based on the temperature detection information in the first detection box. The water then flows into the second detection box, where a temperature sensor installed on the second detection box detects the temperature again to determine whether the water temperature meets the requirements for fish fry incubation, facilitating precise water temperature control. Finally, the water flows back into the incubator through a connecting pipe for overall water temperature regulation within the incubator.

[0010] 2. The fish fry incubator with temperature detection function in this utility model example detects and heats the water by drawing water and circulating it, so that the water temperature in the incubator is kept at a constant temperature that meets the requirements for fish fry incubation, which facilitates the use of this incubator. In addition, this incubator uses a method of drawing water to adjust the water temperature individually, and then the water flows back to the incubator for overall temperature adjustment. This avoids the situation where the heater is directly placed in the incubator and a malfunction would cause the overall water temperature in the incubator to become out of control, which would affect the incubation of fish fry.

[0011] 3. The fish fry incubator with temperature detection function in this utility model example moves the collection box by sliding the ear plate. The collection box is attached to the side of the protective net for cleaning foreign objects on the side of the protective net, and the cleaned foreign objects are collected in the collection box for easy cleaning. During the movement of the collection box, the positioning plate moves in the second slot. The positioning frame limits and guides the movement of the collection box through the positioning plate, so that the collection box can move to the side of the protective net to clean foreign objects on the side of the protective net.

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a fish fry incubator with temperature detection function, including an incubator 1 and a heating box 12. The incubator 1 is preferably a transparent fish tank, which is convenient for personnel to observe the incubation of fish fry. A water pump group 7 is installed on the outside of the incubator 1. A water inlet pipe 71 is provided at the water inlet of the water pump group 7, which is connected to the inner cavity of the incubator 1. A filter assembly is provided in the inner cavity of the incubator 1 near the water inlet pipe 71. The water pump group 7 draws water from the incubator 1 to the heating box 12 outside the incubator 1. The water temperature is detected and adjusted outside the incubator 1. The filter assembly is used to filter foreign objects in the water inside the incubator 1, thereby improving the water quality inside the incubator 1.

[0016] A first detection box 9 is provided between the water pump set 7 and the heating box 12. The water outlet of the water pump set 7 is connected to the first detection box 9. The inner cavity of the first detection box 9 is connected to the inner cavity of the heating box 12 through a pipe. A second detection box 10 is provided on the side of the heating box 12 away from the first detection box 9 and is connected to its inner cavity. Temperature sensors 11 are provided in both the first detection box 9 and the second detection box 10. A connecting pipe 8 connected to its inner cavity is installed on the side of the second detection box 10. The end of the connecting pipe 8 away from the second detection box 10 is fixed to the side of the incubator 1 away from the connecting pipe 8 and is connected to the inner cavity of the incubator 1.

[0017] The water pump unit 7 draws water from the hatching box 1 into the first detection box 9 through the water pumping pipe 71. The temperature sensor 11 installed on the first detection box 9 detects the water temperature. Then the water flows into the heating box 12. The heater 13 adjusts the water temperature according to the temperature detection information in the first detection box 9. The water with the adjusted temperature flows into the second detection box 10. The temperature sensor 11 installed on the second detection box 10 detects the temperature again to determine whether the water temperature meets the hatching requirements of fish fry, so as to facilitate precise control of the water temperature. Finally, the water flows back into the hatching box 1 through the connecting pipe 8 for the overall water temperature regulation in the hatching box 1.

[0018] By drawing water and circulating it for detection and heating, the water temperature in incubator 1 is kept at a constant temperature suitable for the hatching of fish fry, which facilitates the use of this incubator. In addition, this incubator uses a method of drawing water flow to adjust the water temperature individually, and then the water flows back to incubator 1 for overall temperature adjustment. This avoids the situation where the heater 13 is directly installed in incubator 1 and a malfunction would cause the overall water temperature in incubator 1 to become out of control, which would affect the hatching of fish fry.

[0019] A heater 13 is installed on the side of the heating box 12. The heating end of the heater 13 is located inside the heating box 12. The heater 13 includes, but is not limited to, an electric heating rod or an electric heating plate. The heater 13 heats the water flow in the heating box 12 to adjust the overall water temperature in the incubator 1.

[0020] The hatchery 1 has an open top, and a cover plate 2 is provided on the side of the hatchery 1 to cover the open top. A feeding port is provided on the side of the cover plate 2, and a sliding cover 14 is provided on the upper side of the cover plate 2 to cover and seal the feeding port. A limiting frame 15 is provided on the upper side of the cover plate 2 to limit the movement of the sliding cover 14. After the fish fry hatch, the feeding port is opened by sliding the sliding cover 14, and the fish fry are fed through the feeding port. After feeding, the sliding cover 2 covers and seals the feeding port, reducing the amount of water evaporated and discharged from the hatchery 1, and reducing the impact of the external environment on the water quality in the hatchery 1. During the movement of the cover plate 2, the limiting frame 15 plays a positioning and guiding role.

[0021] Both sides of the incubator 1 are fixed with positioning frames 6, and the positioning frames 6 are provided with first slots. The filter assembly includes a protective net 3 that is slidably set in the first slot. The protective net 3 is used to protect the fish fry in the incubator 1 and prevent the fish fry from being pulled out of the incubator 1 during the water pumping process. The protective net 3 is detachable for easy cleaning. On the side of the protective net 3 near the water pumping pipe 71, there is a filter media pack 4 located in the incubator 1. The filter media pack 4 is used to filter the water flow and reduce fish feces, impurities and other substances in the water flow.

[0022] A collection box 5 is installed near the protective net 3 in the incubator 1, and the collection box 5 is located on the side of the protective net 3 away from the filter media pack 4. The bottom of the collection box 5 has a drain outlet, and a filter screen 52 is installed in the drain outlet. Ear plates 53 are fixed to the side of the collection box 5. A second slot is provided in the positioning frame 6. A positioning plate 51 is fixed to the side of the collection box 5. The positioning plate 51 is slidably set in the second slot. The collection box 5 moves by sliding the ear plates 53. The collection box 5 is attached to the side of the protective net 3 for cleaning foreign objects on the side of the protective net 3. The cleaned foreign objects are collected in the collection box 5 for easy cleaning. During the movement of the collection box 5, the positioning plate 51 moves in the second slot. The positioning frame 6 limits and guides the movement of the collection box 5 through the positioning plate 51, so that the collection box 5 can move to be attached to the protective net 3 to clean foreign objects on the side of the protective net 3.

[0023] The water pump group 7, temperature sensor 11, heater 13 and other components used in this utility model are all commonly used electronic components in the prior art. Their working methods and circuit structures are all known technologies. The operation of the water pump group 7, temperature sensor 11, heater 13 and other electronic components is controlled by setting a switch group or PLC controller on the outside of the incubator 1. This method is a common technical solution used by technicians and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] This fish fry incubator, equipped with a temperature detection function, uses a water pump to draw water from the incubator. During the water flow, the water temperature can be monitored. If the water temperature is lower than the incubation temperature, the pumped water can be individually heated by a heating box to improve safety. The heated water temperature can also be further monitored, allowing for precise control of the incubator's water temperature. In addition, the incubator also acts as a filter during the water flow, ensuring water quality and facilitating the cultivation of fish fry after hatching.
