Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, and in particular to a connecting float for an aerator in aquaculture. Background Technology
[0002] In the aquaculture industry, aerators are key equipment to ensure dissolved oxygen levels in aquaculture water. Aerators usually need to float on the water surface with the help of connecting floats to achieve oxygenation operations on large areas of water.
[0003] Traditional connecting floats have fixed buoyancy, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to different operating conditions of the aerator and complex and changing aquatic environments. This causes the aerator to struggle to maintain stable floating under varying operating conditions and complex aquatic environments, thus affecting the aeration effect, damaging the aerator, and increasing aquaculture costs. In addition, traditional connecting floats are mostly fixed with bolts, making installation and disassembly cumbersome. When the aerator needs maintenance, repair, or replacement with a different model, operators need to spend a lot of time and effort to disassemble and reinstall the connecting floats, further affecting the stability of the connection and the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connecting float for aquaculture aerators, thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0023] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a connecting float for an aerator in aquaculture, including: a float body 1, multiple buoyancy adjustment mechanisms 3 connected to the float body 1 via connecting rods 2, and an air pump 6 located at the top of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3; the float body 1 is made of polyethylene material; the float body 1 has a preset buoyancy and is fitted onto the aerator 5, providing a stable working platform for the aerator 5 and being able to withstand the various forces generated by the aerator 5 during operation; multiple sleeves 4 are provided around the float body 1, and the sleeves 4 are inserted into the connecting rods 2. The sleeve 4 provides a simple and efficient connection method for the connecting rod 2, facilitating installation and disassembly. Multiple connecting rods 2 are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the float body 1. The connecting rods 2 and the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3 ensure that buoyancy is evenly distributed around the float body 1, effectively improving the stability of the float body 1 on the water surface and providing balanced support from multiple directions. The air pump 6 has a built-in battery, which changes the buoyancy by inflating or deflating the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3, allowing the device to adapt to different aquaculture needs.
[0025] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3 is fitted with a connecting ring 301, which is connected to one end of the connecting rod 2. The buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first cylinder 302 and a second cylinder 303, both of which are hollow and have a preset buoyancy, providing support for the aerator 5 to float in the water. A control valve 603 is provided at the connection between the first cylinder 302 and the second cylinder 303. The control valve 603 can flexibly adjust the flow and distribution of gas between the first cylinder 302 and the second cylinder 303, thereby precisely adjusting the entire buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3. The buoyancy is increased; the second cylinder 303 is larger than the working size of the first cylinder 302, and has multiple grooves 604 at its bottom. The grooves 604 can change the water flow pattern and enhance the friction between the water flow and the second cylinder 303, thereby improving the stability of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3 in the water and reducing the shaking caused by the impact of the water flow; the top of the first cylinder 302 is connected to the air pump 6, and one working surface of the air pump 6 is connected to the exhaust valve 7. The exhaust valve 7 passes through one side of the first cylinder 302, and one end of the exhaust valve 7 located inside the first cylinder 302 is connected to the air collection hood 701. The exhaust valve 7 and the air pump 6 are connected to each other. A sealing ring is provided to prevent gas leakage. Furthermore, the output end of the air pump 6 is connected to the main air pipe 601, which is located inside the first cylinder 302. Both ends of the main air pipe 601 are connected to the auxiliary air pipe 602, which extends into the second cylinder 303. During operation, the operator starts the air pump 6, which delivers gas to the second cylinder 303 through the main air pipe 601 and the auxiliary air pipe 602, filling the second cylinder 303 with gas. When the gas level in the second cylinder 303 reaches a preset value, the control valve 603 releases the gas from the second cylinder 303. Gas is delivered into the first cylinder 302, increasing the internal air pressure of both cylinders, displacing more water, and thus increasing the buoyancy of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3. When it is necessary to reduce the buoyancy of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3, the exhaust valve 7 is activated. The exhaust valve 7 discharges the gas in the first cylinder 302 through the gas collection hood 701, reducing the overall buoyancy of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3. If it is necessary to further reduce the buoyancy, the control valve 603 is opened, and the gas in the second cylinder 303 is discharged after passing through the first cylinder 302 and the gas collection hood 701, thereby reducing the buoyancy of the entire buoyancy adjustment mechanism 3 to meet the buoyancy requirements of the connected float under different conditions.
[0026] like Figure 5-7As shown, the sleeve 4 is provided with multiple locking mechanisms 8; the connecting rod 2 has multiple limiting grooves 201, which engage with the locking mechanisms 8. The connection between the limiting grooves 201 and the locking mechanisms 8 is similar to a precise mortise and tenon structure, which can achieve a tight connection and prevent loosening; specifically, the locking mechanism 8 includes: a support part 801 and a pressure plate 802 connected to one end of the support part 801; the other end of the support part 801 is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 4; the pressure plate 802 has a preset spring. The connecting rod 2 is elastically deformed by the protrusion 803 engaging with the groove 604. The working dimensions of the protrusion 803 and the groove 604 are adapted to each other. In use, after the operator inserts the connecting rod 2 into the sleeve 4, the pressure plate 802 and the protrusion 803 undergo elastic deformation, allowing the connecting rod 2 to be easily inserted into the sleeve 4. At this time, the protrusion 803 is tightly connected with the limiting groove 201. After the connection is completed, the pressure plate 802 resets and generates sufficient pressure, so that the pressure plate 802 and the protrusion 803 are tightly fitted with the connecting rod 2, preventing the connecting rod 2 from becoming loose.
