Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 This utility model provides a light intensity adjustment device for turtle breeding: its structure includes a positioning ring 11, an annular rotating groove 12, a rotating ring 13, a light component 14, and a drive component 15, which are set on the top surface of the turtle breeding pond 1.

[0021] Among them, turtle breeding pond 1 has a cylindrical structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the positioning ring 11 is fixed to the top surface of the turtle breeding pond 1. The annular rotating groove 12 is provided on the top surface of the positioning ring 11; the rotating ring 13 is rotatably disposed within the annular rotating groove 12. In order to allow the lighting component 14 to move around the positioning ring 11, the positioning ring 11, the annular rotating groove 12, and the rotating ring 13 are all annular structures and coaxially arranged. The outer ring of the rotating ring 13 is provided with a transmission external gear ring 131. The lighting component 14 is fixed to the top surface of the rotating ring 13. Specifically, the lighting component 14 can be fixed to the top surface of the rotating ring 13 by a detachable structure such as screws or clips. However, the connection method between the lighting component 14 and the rotating ring 13 is not limited to this. As long as the fixation of the two can be achieved, it is acceptable. It is just that using a detachable connection structure facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0022] The drive component 15 is connected to the outside of the positioning ring 11. The drive component 15 is connected to the transmission outer gear ring 131 so as to drive the rotating ring 13 to rotate through the transmission outer gear ring 131, so that the illumination component 14 can rotate synchronously with the rotating ring 13 to adjust the illumination position.

[0023] For automatic light height adjustment, the lighting assembly 14 includes a movable frame 141 bolted to a rotating ring 13, a drive cylinder 142, a hinge bracket 143, a light plate 144, and a battery 145. The output end of the drive cylinder 142 faces upward and is vertically mounted at the front end of the movable frame 141. The hinge bracket 143 is connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 142. The light plate 144 is hinged to the inside of the hinge bracket 143, and the light-emitting end of the light plate 144 faces into the turtle breeding pond 1. The battery 145 is located inside the movable frame 141 and is connected to the light plate 144 and the drive cylinder 142 via wires.

[0024] Among them, the drive cylinder 142 is specifically an electric cylinder, and the lamp on the illumination plate 144 is specifically a UVB lamp, which uses fluorescent tubes and is suitable for large-area illumination. It is the first choice for turtle basking platforms. The UVB lamp is a special lamp that simulates natural light by emitting 315nm wavelength ultraviolet light.

[0025] During operation, the drive cylinder 142 can drive the hinge bracket 143 to move up and down to adjust the illumination height of the light plate 144.

[0026] For ease of control, a control panel is also included, which is installed on the outer wall of the turtle breeding pond 1. This control panel controls the operation of the drive assembly 15, the drive cylinder 142, and the illumination panel 144. It should be noted that the control system carried by the control panel is prior art, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0027] To drive the rotating ring 13 to rotate, the drive assembly 15 includes a motor housing fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning ring 11, and a motor 151 located inside the motor housing. The output end of the motor 151 faces downward and is connected to a gear 152 that meshes with the transmission outer gear ring 131. A notch is provided on the side periphery of the positioning ring 11, which communicates with the annular rotating groove 12, allowing the gear 152 to insert into the notch and engage with the outer gear ring 131.

[0028] The hinge bracket 143 has a U-shaped structure, and a limiting bolt is threaded on one side of the hinge bracket 143. The end of the limiting bolt contacts the outer wall of the illumination plate 144 to restrict the movement of the illumination plate 144.

[0029] An adaptive light intensity adjustment device with a circular moving mechanism is installed on the top surface of the turtle breeding pond 1. When in operation, the drive component 15 drives the rotating ring 13 to rotate in the annular rotating groove 12. The light component 14 on the rotating ring 13 rotates accordingly, providing periodic light to each corner of the turtle breeding pond 1, effectively preventing keratitis in turtles due to insufficient or excessive local light.

[0030] Example 2 For the sake of brevity, the parts that are the same as those in other embodiments will not be described again. The main focus is on the structure that is different from other embodiments of this utility model. The lamp on the illumination plate 144 described in this application is specifically formed by a combination of UVB lamp and metal halide lamp. The UVB lamp is integrated with the heating, which is suitable for large turtle ponds.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model.
