Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a water pipe structure for aquaculture ponds that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, the outlet pipes of aquaculture ponds (such as fish ponds and shrimp ponds) are key components for maintaining water quality and the circulation system. During long-term operation, algae, feed residue, fish feces, and other organic pollutants easily adhere to and accumulate on the inner walls of the pipes, causing the inner diameter of the pipes to narrow, water flow to be obstructed, or even completely blocked.

[0003] Traditional pipeline systems lack visual management tools and cannot directly observe the blockage inside the pipes. Problems are often only discovered when the outflow rate drops significantly, at which point the blockage is usually very serious, requiring reactive treatment, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the aquaculture system.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for cleaning drainage pipes in aquaculture ponds are manual disassembly and cleaning or flushing from both ends of the pipes with a high-pressure water gun. Manual disassembly and cleaning is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and frequent disassembly can easily damage the sealing of the pipe joints. High-pressure water gun flushing also requires disassembly of the pipes and requires external power equipment, which is inconvenient to operate and increases energy consumption. Moreover, regardless of whether manual disassembly and cleaning is performed or high-pressure water gun flushing is used, the valves must be closed first to interrupt the entire recirculating aquaculture system. Cleaning must be carried out when the water is stopped, and a series of equipment connected to the rear end of the aquaculture pond, such as microfiltration machines, sedimentation tanks, and mixing towers, must be stopped at the same time. This change in the water environment may cause stress response to farmed organisms such as fish and shrimp, leading to a decrease in their immunity and an increased risk of disease. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water pipe structure for aquaculture ponds that is easy to clean, enabling convenient and efficient pipe cleaning without affecting the normal and continuous operation of the aquaculture pond.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A water pipe structure for an aquaculture pond that is easy to clean includes a drain pipe, a circulating water pipe, a cleaning branch pipe, a connecting pipe, a gate valve, and a flexible connector. The drain pipe is connected to the aquaculture pond, and a tee pipe is attached to the end of the drain pipe. One end of the tee pipe is connected to the circulating water pipe, and the other end is connected to the cleaning branch pipe. The cleaning branch pipe is connected to the connecting pipe through a reducing joint. The gate valve is installed on the connecting pipe. The flexible connector is connected to the rear end of the connecting pipe through a union joint. One end of the flexible connector is movably connected inside the union joint to form a passage with the connecting pipe, and the other end is inclined upward and has an open end facing the atmospheric environment.

[0007] Furthermore, an observation tube is installed on the circulating water pipe, and the observation tube is made of transparent PVC material.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the connecting pipe is significantly smaller than the diameter of the cleaning branch pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the opening end of the live pipe is significantly higher than the top of the aquaculture pond.

[0010] Furthermore, the live connector is tilted upward at an angle of 45 degrees.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects obtained by this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up a transparent observation tube, the internal condition of the pipeline can be observed intuitively, realizing early warning and real-time monitoring of blockage and pollution; 2. The cleaning operation can be carried out while the breeding pond is draining normally and the organisms are living and growing normally. There is no need to drain the pond water or transfer the breeding organisms. The modular fitting design, combined with the fitting end pipe, allows the high-pressure water gun to easily enter through the fitting end pipe and thoroughly clean the pipe in the opposite or same direction, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and reduces labor intensity. 3. The union structure makes the piping system modular, flexible in disassembly and assembly, and does not require large tools. It is suitable for various installation scenarios, and the entire process can be completed by a single person. Connecting and disconnecting the cleaning equipment becomes very simple, fast, and reliably sealed, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation and labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0013] 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.

[0014] like Figures 1-3As shown, a water pipe structure for an aquaculture pond that is easy to clean includes a drain pipe 1, a circulating water pipe 2, a cleaning branch pipe 3, a connecting pipe 4, a gate valve 5, and a flexible connecting pipe 6. The drain pipe 1 is connected to the aquaculture pond 10 and is used to discharge water from the pond into water treatment equipment such as a microfiltration machine. A T-connector 11 is connected to the end of the drain pipe 1. One end of the T-connector 11 is connected to the circulating water pipe 2, and the other end is connected to the cleaning branch pipe 3. The circulating water pipe 2 is used to connect to water treatment equipment such as a microfiltration machine. Water from the aquaculture pond enters the microfiltration machine through the circulating water pipe 2 for treatment. For purification treatment, an observation tube 21 is installed on the circulating water pipe 2. The observation tube 21 is made of transparent PVC material, forming a viewing window for observing the accumulation of dirt inside the circulating water pipe 2. The cleaning branch pipe 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 4 through a reducing connector 31. The diameter of the connecting pipe 4 is significantly smaller than the diameter of the cleaning branch pipe 3. The reducing connector 31 is used to connect pipes with different diameters. Since the diameters of the circulating water pipe 2 and the cleaning branch pipe 3 are relatively large, the reducing connector 31 achieves a smooth transition from the small-diameter cleaning interface to the large-diameter drainage main pipe. This design allows standard-sized cleaning equipment to be flexibly connected to aquaculture drainage systems of different pipe diameters, improving the overall versatility and portability of the design. The gate valve 5 is installed on the connecting pipe 4, controlling its opening and closing. When the aquaculture pond 10 is operating normally and cleaning is not required, the gate valve 5 is normally closed, and the water in the pond 10 is discharged through the drain pipe 1 and the tee pipe 11 from the circulating water pipe 2. The flexible connecting pipe 6 is connected to the rear end of the connecting pipe 4 via a union 61, with one end of the flexible connecting pipe 6 movably connected within the union 61 to form a connection with the connecting pipe 4. The connecting pipe 6 forms a passage, with one end inclined upwards and having an opening facing the atmosphere. The upward inclination angle of the connecting pipe 6 is preferably 45 degrees. The height of the opening end of the connecting pipe 6 is significantly higher than the top of the aquaculture pond 10, which ensures that the opening end of the connecting pipe 6 is higher than the water level in the aquaculture pond 10. When the gate valve 5 is opened, the water in the aquaculture pond 10 will not overflow from the opening end of the connecting pipe 6. By inserting a pipe cleaning nozzle into the opening end of the connecting pipe 6, the inner wall of the circulating water pipe 2 can be cleaned, so that the aquaculture pond 10 does not need to be shut down.

[0015] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The accumulation of dirt in the circulating water pipe 2 is observed through the observation pipe 21. When the circulating water pipe 2 does not need cleaning, the gate valve 5 is normally closed, and the water in the breeding pond 10 is discharged from the circulating water pipe 2 through the drain pipe 1 and the three-way pipe 11. When there is a lot of dirt in the circulating water pipe 2, the gate valve 5 is opened. At this time, since the opening end of the connecting pipe 6 is higher than the water level in the breeding pond 10, the water in the breeding pond 10 will not overflow from the opening end of the connecting pipe 6. The pipe cleaning nozzle is inserted from the opening end of the connecting pipe 6, and the high-pressure water sprayed from the pipe cleaning nozzle can clean the circulating water pipe 2. The impurities cleaned from the pipe wall enter the microfilter with the water flow and are filtered and discharged.

[0016] The water pipe structure provided by this utility model allows for direct observation of the internal condition of the pipe through a transparent observation tube, enabling early warning and real-time monitoring of blockages and pollution. Cleaning operations can be carried out simultaneously with normal drainage of the aquaculture pond and normal habitat and growth of the organisms, without the need to empty the pond water or transfer the aquaculture organisms. This allows for continuous operation 365 days a year, greatly improving the production efficiency and asset utilization of aquaculture facilities. This utility model simplifies the originally heavy and complex cleaning work into three simple steps: "open the gate valve - connect the equipment - start cleaning". The entire process can be completed by a single person. Connecting and disconnecting the cleaning equipment becomes very simple, fast, and reliably sealed, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation and labor intensity.

[0017] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
