AI Technical Summary
Traditional methods of releasing turtle hatchlings make it difficult for them to adapt to the paddy field environment quickly, resulting in low survival rates and hindering healthy growth. Furthermore, centralized management and adaptive transition are impossible.
A device for collecting turtle seedlings in rice paddies was designed. The box is fixed by a plug-in structure and a locking mechanism. Combined with a through trough and a drainage trough, the turtle seedlings are allowed to come into contact with the water before being put into the rice paddy to adapt, thereby improving the survival rate.
This improved the survival rate and healthy growth of turtle hatchlings, and enabled centralized management and adaptive transition of the hatchlings.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular to a device for collecting turtle seedlings for rice paddy aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] In rice-turtle farming, the release of turtle hatchlings is a crucial step. Traditional methods of releasing hatchlings are relatively extensive, typically involving directly scattering them into the rice paddies. However, this method has several problems: firstly, the hatchlings struggle to adapt quickly to the significantly different environment, leading to stress and reduced survival rates; secondly, traditional methods fail to provide centralized management and facilitate the transition to health, hindering their growth and ultimately impacting the overall profitability of rice-turtle farming. Therefore, to address these issues, this application provides a hatchling collection device for rice-turtle farming. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a device for collecting turtle seedlings for rice paddy aquaculture.
[0004] This application provides a device for collecting turtle seedlings for rice paddy aquaculture, which includes an upper cover and a bottom plate forming a box body. A plug-in structure is provided between the upper cover and the bottom plate, and the plug-in structure is limited by a pin structure.
[0005] Both the top cover and the bottom plate have flow channels to allow external water to enter the interior of the tank.
[0006] The bottom plate and the top cover are connected by insert blocks and holes. After connection, they are locked by the pin on the insert rod, thus fixing the box. This structure also makes it easy for the turtle hatchlings to swim out of the device after the top cover is removed. The lower part of the top cover has a through groove and the bottom plate has a drainage groove, which allows the turtle hatchlings to be in contact with the water for a period of time before being released. After they adapt, they can be released, which effectively improves the survival rate.
[0007] Preferably, the plug-in structure includes a plug block welded to the bottom of the upper cover and a plug hole opened on the base plate, the two of which slide into each other.
[0008] Preferably, the pin structure includes a plug rod and a pin shaft vertically welded to the side of the plug rod. The pin shaft passes through the base plate and the plug block to achieve locking between the plug block and the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, a drainage groove is provided on the base plate.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the upper cover has a through groove.
[0011] Preferably, pads are fixedly connected around the perimeter of the base plate.
[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the top of the cover.
[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] The bottom plate and the top cover are connected by insert blocks and holes. After connection, they are locked by the pin on the insert rod, thus fixing the box. This structure also makes it easy for the turtle hatchlings to swim out of the device after the top cover is removed. The lower part of the top cover has a through groove and the bottom plate has a drainage groove, which allows the turtle hatchlings to be in contact with the water for a period of time before being released. After they adapt, they can be released, which effectively improves the survival rate. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] A device for collecting turtle seedlings in rice paddy aquaculture, as described in the following description. Figure 1 - Figure 3 I. Device Structure
[0022] The device mainly includes a top cover 1, a bottom plate 2, a rod 3, a pad 4, a plug 5, and a handle 6.
[0023] Top cover 1: The bottom of the top cover 1 is welded with a plug 5 for docking with the base plate 2; the lower section of the top cover 1 is provided with a through groove 11 for external water to enter; the top of the top cover 1 is fixed with a handle 6 for easy handling of the device.
[0024] Base plate 2: The base plate 2 has an insertion hole 22, which slides into the insertion block 5 of the upper cover 1; the base plate 2 has a water leakage groove 21, which cooperates with the through groove 11 of the upper cover 1 to allow water to enter; the base plate 2 is fixedly connected with pads 4 around its perimeter, which serve as a support device.
[0025] Insert rod 3: A pin 31 is vertically welded to the side of the insert rod 3, which is used to pass through the base plate 2 and the insert block 5 to achieve locking between the insert block 5 and the base plate 2.
[0026] II. Device Usage Process
[0027] Assembly process
[0028] The insert block 5 at the bottom of the top cover 1 is slidably engaged with the insert hole 22 on the bottom plate 2 to complete the initial connection between the top cover 1 and the bottom plate 2. Then, the insert rod 3 is inserted into the corresponding position so that the pin 31 on the insert rod 3 passes through the bottom plate 2 and the insert block 5, thereby locking the insert block 5 and the bottom plate 2 and completing the fixed assembly of the box.
[0029] Preparation before seedling release
[0030] Before releasing the turtles, the external water source is allowed to enter the box through the through groove 11 in the lower section of the top cover 1 and the drainage groove 21 on the bottom plate 2, allowing the turtles to come into contact with the water for a period of time and adapt to the aquatic environment.
[0031] Seedling release process
[0032] Once the turtle hatchlings have adapted to the aquatic environment, remove the insert rod 3, release the lock between the top cover 1 and the bottom plate 2, and then remove the top cover 1. The turtle hatchlings can then swim out of the device and enter the rice paddy aquaculture area.
