Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eel processing technology, specifically to an automatic ice-adding device for eel farming. Background Technology

[0002] In eel farming and subsequent processing, before freezing, workers use ice-adding equipment to add large amounts of ice to the farming tanks, creating a low-temperature environment. For eels, the low temperature effectively calms them, allowing them to gradually settle down. Furthermore, appropriate low-temperature treatment can improve the eel's texture, making the meat firmer and more flavorful. At the same time, the eels, after being cooled and stabilized, are easier for subsequent processing operations such as slaughtering, cleaning, and butchering.

[0003] Currently, existing automated ice-adding equipment for eel farming has certain drawbacks. This type of equipment typically places ice blocks on a conveyor belt, which moves the ice forward. When the ice blocks reach the end of the conveyor belt, they fall into the farming tank. However, this method limits the contact area between the ice blocks and the surrounding environment, and a large amount of ice tends to concentrate at the point where it falls into the tank. This results in a slow melting rate, hindering the rapid absorption of heat from the tank and leading to low cooling efficiency. Consequently, the eels need more time to cool down in the low-temperature environment, thus affecting the processing efficiency of the eels. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to improve and innovate upon the shortcomings and problems existing in the background technology, and to provide an automatic ice-adding device for eel farming.

[0005] An automatic ice-adding device for eel farming includes: Aquaculture ponds; A shell, which is positioned directly above the aquaculture pond; Insulated container, the insulated container being used to store ice; A conveying mechanism for conveying broken ice blocks and transporting the broken ice blocks to an ice outlet channel; An ice-adding mechanism, used to scatter ice blocks from an ice channel into the aquaculture tank; A stirring mechanism is used to stir ice and tap water in an aquaculture tank.

[0006] A further embodiment is that the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying channel disposed on the housing; a first rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the first conveying channel, one end of the first rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a first rotating motor, a first cutter disc is disposed on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft, and the first cutter disc is spirally arranged from the end closer to the first rotating motor to the end farther away from the first rotating motor, from sparse to dense.

[0007] A further embodiment is that the conveying mechanism further includes a second conveying channel disposed on the housing, the second conveying channel being interconnected with the first conveying channel, and the second conveying channel being interconnected with the ice outlet pipe through the ice outlet channel on the housing. A second rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the second conveying channel, the second rotating shaft being driven to rotate by a second rotating motor, and a second cutter disc is disposed on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft, the second cutter disc being arranged in a spiral manner.

[0008] A further embodiment is that the ice-adding mechanism includes a movable plate located directly below the ice outlet pipe. The movable plate is connected to the inner ring of the slewing bearing via a fixed rod. The outer ring of the slewing bearing is connected to a circular ring via a fixed rod. The upper surface of the circular ring is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. The inner ring of the slewing bearing is connected to a gear by gear teeth, and the gear is driven to rotate by a third rotary motor.

[0009] A further embodiment is that the stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft and stirring blades, with the stirring blades disposed at the bottom end of the stirring shaft and the top end of the stirring shaft mounted on the lower surface of the movable plate.

[0012] A further option is to install a tap water inlet pipe directly above the aquaculture pond, and install a valve on the tap water inlet pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) When the first rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the first rotating motor, the first cutter disc installed on the first rotating shaft can break large ice blocks into smaller ice blocks on the one hand; on the other hand, it can push the ice blocks forward during the rotation process; and when the second rotating motor drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, the second cutter disc installed on the second rotating shaft can push the ice blocks into the ice outlet channel; thus, it can both break the ice blocks and transport the broken ice blocks to the ice outlet channel. (2) The third rotary motor of this utility model drives the movable plate to rotate through the slewing bearing. Under the action of centrifugal force, it is convenient to throw the broken ice blocks on the movable plate into the breeding pond. This makes the ice blocks evenly distributed in various positions of the breeding pond. At the same time, the conveying mechanism has broken the large ice blocks into smaller ice blocks. This is conducive to increasing the contact area between the ice blocks and the tap water in the breeding pond, thereby quickly cooling the tap water and helping the eels to calm down in a short time in a low-temperature environment. (3) The third rotary motor of this utility model drives the movable plate to rotate through the slewing bearing, and at the same time drives the stirring blade of the stirring shaft to rotate.

[0016] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-2This utility model provides an automatic ice-adding device for eel farming, including a farming pond 1; a shell 2 is installed above the farming pond 1, and mounting frames 14 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the farming pond 1. The mounting frames 14 are L-shaped. The end of the mounting frame 14 away from the farming pond 1 is fixedly connected to the shell 2. An insulated bucket 3 is installed on the shell 2, and ice blocks are pre-placed inside the insulated bucket 3; the side walls of the insulated bucket 3 are insulated with a polyurethane foam layer. A disc 10 is installed at the bottom of the insulated bucket 3. The outer surface of the disc 10 is adapted to the inner wall of the insulated bucket 3, and the outer surface of the disc 10 is covered with a polyurethane foam layer. The disc 10 is connected to the output end of a fourth rotary motor 11. The fourth rotary motor 11 drives the disc 10 to rotate. When the disc 10 rotates to a horizontal position, the disc 10 closes the bottom of the insulated bucket 3; when the disc 10 rotates to a vertical position, the disc 10 opens the bottom of the insulated bucket 3, at which time the ice blocks can fall from the bottom of the insulated bucket 3 into the conveying mechanism 4.

[0019] The conveying mechanism 4 includes a first conveying channel 404 disposed on the housing 2; a first rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected within the first conveying channel 404, one end of the first rotating shaft 402 is driven to rotate by a first rotating motor 401, and a first cutter disc 403 is disposed on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 402, the first cutter disc 403 being arranged in a spiral pattern from the end closer to the first rotating motor 401 to the end farther away from the first rotating motor 401. When the first rotating motor 401 starts and drives the first rotating shaft 402 to rotate, the first cutter disc 403 mounted on the first rotating shaft 402 can, on the one hand, break large ice blocks into smaller ice blocks; on the other hand, because the first cutter disc 403 is spirally arranged, it can push ice blocks forward during rotation.

[0020] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 4 also includes a second conveying channel 408 disposed on the housing 2. The second conveying channel 408 is interconnected with the first conveying channel 404, and the end of the second conveying channel 408 away from the first conveying channel 404 is connected to the ice outlet channel 12. The ice outlet channel 12 is disposed in the middle of the housing 2 and is interconnected with the ice outlet pipe 13 at the bottom of the housing. A second rotating shaft 406 is rotatably connected inside the second conveying channel 408. The second rotating shaft 406 is driven to rotate by a second rotating motor 405. A second cutter disc 407 is disposed on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 406, and the second cutter disc 407 is spirally arranged. When the second rotating motor 405 starts and drives the second rotating shaft 406 to rotate, the second cutter disc 407 mounted on the second rotating shaft 406 can push ice blocks into the ice outlet channel 12. Since the ice outlet channel 12 is disposed in the middle of the housing 2, the broken ice blocks can fall out from the middle of the housing 2.

[0021] An ice-adding mechanism 5 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 2. The ice-adding mechanism 5 is used to scatter ice blocks from the ice outlet channel 12 into the aquaculture pond 1. Specifically, the ice-adding mechanism 5 includes a movable plate 505, which is located directly below the ice outlet pipe 13. The movable plate 505 is connected to the inner ring of the slewing bearing 504 via a fixed rod. The outer ring of the slewing bearing 504 is connected to a circular ring 502 via a fixed rod. The upper surface of the circular ring 502 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 501. The electric telescopic rod 501 is installed in a groove on the lower surface of the housing 2 and is located on both sides of the ice outlet pipe 13. The inner ring of the slewing bearing 504 is meshed with a gear 506 via gear teeth. The gear 506 is driven to rotate by a third rotary motor 503, which is mounted on the lower surface of the circular ring 502. When the electric telescopic rod 501 extends, it can cause the movable plate 505 to separate from the bottom end of the ice outlet pipe 13, thereby opening the ice outlet pipe 13 and allowing the broken ice to fall onto the movable plate 505 through the ice outlet pipe 13. At the same time, the third rotary motor 503 is started. The third rotary motor 503 drives the movable plate 505 to rotate through the slewing bearing 504. Under the action of centrifugal force, the broken ice on the movable plate 505 will be scattered into the breeding pond 1, so that the ice is evenly distributed in various positions of the breeding pond 1. This is conducive to increasing the contact area between the ice and the tap water in the breeding pond 1, thereby quickly cooling the tap water and helping the eels to calm down in a short time in a low-temperature environment.

[0022] Preferably, a stirring mechanism 6 is installed on the movable plate 505. The stirring mechanism 6 includes a stirring shaft 601 and a stirring blade 602. The stirring blade 602 is disposed at the bottom end of the stirring shaft 601, and the top end of the stirring shaft 601 is installed on the lower surface of the movable plate 505. Therefore, during the process of the third rotary motor 503 driving the movable plate 505 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the stirring blade 602 of the stirring shaft 601 to rotate. The stirring blade 602 mixes the ice and tap water evenly, which further helps to accelerate the cooling speed of the tap water.

[0023] Optionally, a drain pipe 8 is installed at the bottom of the breeding pond 1, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 8. Once the eels have calmed down, they can be removed, and the valve on the drain pipe 8 can be opened to drain the tap water from the breeding pond 1 for future use. In addition, a tap water inlet pipe 9 is installed directly above the breeding pond 1, and a valve is installed on the tap water inlet pipe 9. Opening the valve on the tap water inlet pipe 9 will automatically add tap water to the breeding pond 1.

[0024] Optionally, the mounting bracket 14 is also provided with a control panel 7, which has multiple control buttons for controlling the start and stop of the first rotary motor 401, the second rotary motor 405, the third rotary motor 503 and the fourth rotary motor 11 and the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 501. The control of the start and stop of the first rotary motor 401, the second rotary motor 405, the third rotary motor 503 and the fourth rotary motor 11 and the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 501 by the control buttons is prior art, and this application does not improve or innovate its technology.
