Dredging support system

In a dredging support system attached to a backhoe dredger, the seabed of the dredging area is dredged more efficiently and with greater precision. [Solution] The guidance information displayed on the monitor screen 30 includes a closing operation line 45 that indicates the start timing for closing the grab bucket 8. With this, by simply starting the closing operation of the grab bucket 8 when the closing operation line 45 and the cutting edge of the shell related to the bucket position and orientation information 40 coincide on the monitor screen 30, the lowest point position of the cutting edge of the shell 18 and the dredging depth position can be matched. Therefore, even in dredging operations using a clamshell-type grab bucket 8 in which the cutting edge of the shell 18 traces an arc-shaped trajectory when in the opening and closing position, it is possible to prevent incomplete digging or over-digging.

A device for air floatation sorting of juvenile chiton larvae

PendingCN122319980AJuvenileThin shells
This invention relates to the field of razor clam aquaculture technology and discloses an air flotation sorting device for juvenile razor clam shells. The device includes a sorting box, which is a rectangular box structure with an open top. Side limiting plates are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the sorting box. A layered screening mechanism is movably installed inside the sorting box corresponding to the inner side of the side limiting plates. The highest point of the side limiting plates is flush with the highest point of the layered screening mechanism after installation. In this invention, the sorting box stores water, and the entire sorting process for juvenile razor clam shells is completed in an aquatic environment, eliminating the problem of dehydration damage. This design aligns with the aquatic survival characteristics of juvenile razor clam shells, significantly improving the survival rate of sorted juvenile razor clam shells. It solves the problems of traditional sorting methods that result in detachment from the water and low survival rates. The device uses microporous ceramic aeration plates to generate fine and uniform microbubbles, which gently agitate the water, creating a gentle flow without hard impacts. This is suitable for thin-shelled juvenile razor clam shells, reducing the breakage rate of juvenile razor clam shells from the source.
