Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an umbrella net device for turtle farming. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of raising soft-shelled turtles (Chinese soft-shelled turtles), sunbathing is a key step to improve survival rate, promote bone development, and prevent skin diseases.

[0003] Most existing basking platforms are made of cement mortar or rough fiberglass flat surfaces. Although the surface is smooth, it is hard and has sharp edges. When turtles climb, their plastron (base plate) rubs and squeezes repeatedly against the platform, easily scraping the keratin layer of the plastron and causing white scratches. Once the scratches reach the dermis, bacteria (such as Aeromonas hydrophila) can quickly invade, causing redness and ulceration of the base plate, forming a "base plate rot" condition. Meanwhile, the basking platform cannot be adaptively adjusted to the basking angle and height required by the turtles at different growth stages (juvenile turtles and adult turtles), which affects the basking effect.

[0004] Therefore, an umbrella net device for turtle farming is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an umbrella net device for turtle farming, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, during the climbing process of turtles on the existing basking platform, the plastron (bottom plate) is repeatedly rubbed and squeezed against the platform surface, and the keratin layer of the plastron is easily scraped off.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an umbrella net device for turtle farming, comprising two sets of support rods respectively disposed at the bottom of the basking platform on both sides of the turtle farming pond, each support rod being fitted with a bushing, and a support shaft rod being fixedly connected between the two bushings; A take-up roller is provided above the sunbathing platform, and an anti-scratch net is wrapped around the outer circumference of the take-up roller. The free end of the anti-scratch net is fixed to the support shaft. The drying platform is also equipped with a tensioning structure between the support rod and the winding roller. The tensioning structure is used to lift the anti-scratch net onto the drying platform and keep it in a tensioned state.

[0007] Preferably, the tensioning structure includes an adjusting screw and a guide rod arranged vertically on both sides of the sunbathing platform. The outer periphery of the adjusting screw is provided with a threaded sleeve, which is connected to an outer bushing through a bearing roller. The outer bushing is fitted onto the outer periphery of the guide rod, so that the threaded sleeve pushes the anti-scratch net upward through the bearing roller to achieve tension.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the adjusting screw is provided with a polygonal connecting post, and a turntable for rotating the adjusting screw is detachably sleeved on the connecting post.

[0009] Preferably, vertical guide grooves are provided on both sides above the sun-drying platform, and the two ends of the take-up roller are slidably installed in the corresponding guide grooves; Several bolt holes are provided at intervals along the height direction on the side of each guide groove. After the positioning bolt passes through any bolt hole, it is inserted into the end of the take-up roller to fix the take-up roller at the required height.

[0010] Preferably, the two end faces of the take-up roller have bolt grooves that match the shape of the positioning bolts, and the positioning bolts restrict the axial movement of the take-up roller after being inserted into the bolt grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the front end of the positioning bolt is polygonal, and the outer circumference of the tail end of the positioning bolt is provided with an external thread that mates with the bolt hole, so that the winding roller can still rotate around its own axis after the positioning bolt is inserted by rotating the positioning bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-scratch net is a flexible weather-resistant net material with a mesh size smaller than the minimum width of the turtle's carapace, to prevent the turtle from being pinched or stuck.

[0013] Preferably, the aquaculture pond has a connecting groove at the lower end of the basking platform for mounting a support rod, so that the support rod is engaged in the aquaculture pond through the connecting groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention utilizes a flexible, scratch-resistant mesh made of soft material with a reasonable mesh size design to effectively prevent turtles from being scratched on their plastron when climbing, reducing the risk of diseases caused by physical damage, such as "bottom plate rot," and improving the survival rate of turtles.

[0015] The height of the basking platform is adjustable, which can meet the basking needs of turtles at different growth stages, such as juvenile turtles and adult turtles, optimize the basking effect, and promote the healthy growth of turtles.

[0016] The ingenious tensioning structure design can lift and straighten the anti-scratch net in real time, ensuring that the net surface is wrinkle-free, preventing turtles from being pinched and ensuring the safety of aquaculture.

[0017] The umbrella net device is easy to operate; a single person can complete the unfolding, tensioning, and retraction without frequent disassembly and assembly, reducing labor intensity and improving aquaculture management efficiency.

[0018] The device is flexibly designed and can be adapted to turtle breeding ponds of different sizes. It has wide versatility and applicability, making it easy to promote and use. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To address the problem of repeated friction and compression between the plastron (base plate) and the platform surface during the climbing process of turtles on existing basking platforms, which easily scrapes off the keratinous layer of the plastron, this utility model provides an umbrella net device for turtle farming. The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an umbrella net device for turtle farming, including two sets of support rods 3 respectively set at the bottom of the sunbathing platform 2 on both sides of the turtle farming pond 1, each support rod 3 is fitted with a bushing 4, and a support shaft 5 is fixedly connected between the two bushings 4. A take-up roller 6 is provided above the sunbathing platform 2. A scratch-proof net 7 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the take-up roller 6. The free end of the scratch-proof net 7 is fixed to the support shaft 5. The back-drying platform 2 is further provided with a tensioning structure 8 between the support rod 3 and the winding roller 6. The tensioning structure 8 is used to lift the anti-scratch net 7 onto the back-drying platform and keep it in a tensioned state.

[0023] The tensioning structure 8 includes an adjusting screw 81 and a guide rod 82, which are vertically arranged on both sides of the sunbathing platform 2. A threaded sleeve 83 is provided on the outer periphery of the adjusting screw 81. The threaded sleeve 83 is connected to an outer bushing 85 via a bearing roller 84. The outer bushing 85 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the guide rod 82, so that the threaded sleeve 83 pushes the anti-scratch net 7 upwards via the bearing roller 84 to achieve tension. A polygonal connecting post 86 is provided at the top of the adjusting screw 81, and a turntable 87 for rotating the adjusting screw 81 is detachably fitted onto the connecting post 86.

[0024] Vertical guide grooves 21 are provided on both sides above the sun drying platform 2. The two ends of the take-up roller 6 are slidably installed in the corresponding guide grooves 21. Several bolt holes 22 are provided at intervals along the height direction on the side of each guide groove 21. After the positioning bolt 9 passes through any bolt hole 22, it is inserted into the end of the take-up roller 6 to fix the take-up roller 6 at the required height.

[0025] The two end faces of the take-up roller 6 have bolt grooves 61 that match the shape of the positioning bolts 9. After the positioning bolts 9 are inserted into the bolt grooves 61, they restrict the axial movement of the take-up roller 6.

[0026] The front end of the positioning bolt 9 is polygonal, and the outer circumference of the tail end of the positioning bolt 9 is provided with an external thread 91 that mates with the bolt hole 22, so that the winding roller 6 can still rotate around its own axis by rotating the positioning bolt 9 after the positioning bolt 9 is inserted.

[0027] The anti-scratch net 7 is a flexible weather-resistant net material with a mesh size smaller than the minimum width of the turtle's carapace to prevent the turtle from being pinched or stuck.

[0028] The breeding pond 1 has a connecting groove 11 at the lower end of the basking platform 2 for mounting the support rod 3, so that the support rod 3 can be snapped into the breeding pond 1 through the connecting groove 11.

[0029] The working principle of the umbrella net device for turtle farming provided by this utility model is as follows: When setting up the net: Place the take-up roller 6 into the aquaculture pond 1 through the guide groove 21, hold the support shaft 5 and gently pull it outwards, so that the support shaft 5 moves downwards along the drying platform 2. At the same time, the anti-scratch net 7 gradually unfolds from the take-up roller 6 under the pulling force and extends downwards to the top of the drying platform 2. Then, put the bushings 4 on both sides of the support shaft 5 onto the outer periphery of the support rod 3, and place the support shaft 5 at the lower end of the drying platform 2 in the aquaculture pond 1 and fix the support shaft 5 with bolts. Based on the size of the turtle and the desired sun-drying height, select a suitable bolt hole 22. Align the front end of the positioning bolt 9 with the bolt groove 61 at the end of the take-up roller 6, insert the positioning bolt 9, and rotate it at a certain angle so that the external thread 91 of the positioning bolt 9 fits tightly with the bolt hole 22, thereby fixing the take-up roller 6 at the selected height. At this time, the take-up roller 6 serves as a support point for the anti-scratch net 7, and its height determines the distance between the anti-scratch net 7 and the sun-drying platform 2.

[0030] Tensioning Operation: Locate the turntable 87 at the top of the adjusting screw 81, hold the turntable 87 by hand and insert it into the connecting post 86, then rotate the turntable 87 clockwise with even force. The rotation of the turntable 87 drives the adjusting screw 81 to rotate through the connecting post 86. Due to the threaded engagement between the threaded sleeve 83 and the adjusting screw 81, and the guiding effect of the guide rod 82 on the outer bushing 85, the threaded sleeve 83 moves upward on the adjusting screw 81.

[0031] The upward movement of the threaded sleeve 83 is transmitted to the anti-scratch net 7 via the carrying roller 84. Under the push of the threaded sleeve 83, the carrying roller 84 moves upward along the direction of the guide rod 82, thereby gradually lifting and tensioning the anti-scratch net 7. During the tensioning process, the surface of the anti-scratch net 7 gradually straightens, eliminating slack and wrinkles, allowing it to spread evenly on the basking platform 2, maintaining a taut state, and providing a stable and flat basking space for the turtles.

[0032] Net retraction operation: When it is necessary to retract the anti-scratch net 7, first rotate the positioning bolt 9 counterclockwise to loosen the external thread 91 of the positioning bolt 9 from the bolt hole 22 on the drying platform 2, then pull out the positioning bolt 9, and the winding roller 6 loses its height fixation and can slide freely in the guide groove 21.

[0033] Gently rotate the turntable 87 in the opposite direction to make the adjusting screw 81 rotate counterclockwise. The threaded sleeve 83 moves downward on the adjusting screw 81, and the bearing roller 84 descends accordingly. The anti-scratch net 7 gradually relaxes and no longer maintains a taut state.

[0034] Remove the anti-scratch net 7 from the support shaft 5, or remove the support shaft 5 from the connecting groove 11 inside the aquaculture pond 1. Gently lift and pull the take-up roller 6, moving it upwards along the vertical guide groove 21, while simultaneously winding the anti-scratch net 7 onto the take-up roller 6. During the winding process, the angle and tension of the take-up roller 6 can be adjusted appropriately to ensure that the anti-scratch net 7 is wound evenly and neatly onto the take-up roller 6, avoiding twisting of the net surface or loose winding, thus completing the net winding process.

[0035] 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.
