DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to relates to a live fish transport vehicles, in an environment of Celsius minus 1 degree to 2 degrees without sea water, winter fish
It is capable of transporting a large amount of live fish at a time, with a sleep state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fish tank is mounted on a truck, the temperature of the sea water in the tank is kept at a constant low temperature, the sea water is circulated, and the sea water is always cleaned with a filtering device. 2. Description of the Related Art A live fish transporting vehicle for transporting a swimming fish is known. As a means of transporting live fish by this live fish transport vehicle, there are a method of transporting live fish while freely swimming in an aquarium, and a method of putting live fish in cages one by one and stacking and storing the cages together in the aquarium. is there.

[0003]

Although a known live fish transport vehicle can transport fish alive, the fish can swim in the aquarium, so that the fish collides with the wall of the aquarium,
In the method of transporting in a basket, there is a problem that the basket damages the fish. Also, because the fish are in a state where they can swim, even if they are housed in a basket, there is a problem that the volume occupied by each animal is required to some extent, and it is not possible to hope for a large number of fish to be transported. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the previously known live fish transport vehicle, and has a function to prevent the live fish from moving by hibernation .
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new live fish transport vehicle that transports a large amount of live fish while preventing the drying of the live fish and supplying oxygen for breathing.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an ice temperature live fish transport vehicle comprising: a refrigerator, an evaporator for supplying cool air, and a cool air supply passage for supplying cool air sent from the evaporator to a water tank. A cold air supply / circulation device comprising a return path for returning cold air from the filtration tank to the evaporator; a seawater tank; a bubble generator communicating with the seawater tank and also communicating with the liquid nitrogen cylinder; A bubble generation and supply device comprising a bubble supply path for connecting the bubble generator and a water tank and sending bubbles to the water tank is provided.

[0006]

In the vehicle for transporting live fish of the present invention constructed as described above, the inside of the aquarium is cooled by the cool air supply and circulation device so that the live fish is placed in a hibernation state, while the bubbling and supply device supplies the aquarium. The inside of the case is filled with seawater bubbles to prevent the fish in the case containing the fish from drying and supply oxygen to the fish for breathing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a truck, on which a water tank 3, 3 similar to a known live fish transport vehicle is mounted on a loading bed 2 thereof.
This water tank has a filtration tank 4 similar to a known live fish transport vehicle.
The filtration tank 4 has a sponge at its inlet and outlet.
It has a special filter made of chloride.

[0008] In the figure, 5 is a cool air supply and circulation device,
And an evaporator 7 for supplying cool air, and an evaporator 7
Air supply path 8 for supplying the cool air sent from the tanks 3 and 3
And a return path 9 for returning cold air from the filtration tank 4 to the evaporator 7. The refrigerator 6 is fixed to the truck bed, and the evaporator 7 is mounted on the upper front end of the water tank. The cool air supply path 8 and the return path 9 are constituted by heat-insulating flexible hoses, and are detachably connected to a connection port between the evaporator 7 and the water tank and an outlet of the filtration tank 4, respectively.

Further, in the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes an air bubble generation and supply device, which is a seawater tank 11 and which communicates with the seawater tank 11 to form a liquid nitrogen tank 1.
2, a bubble generator 14 for generating bubbles by compressed air from a compressor 13, and a bubble supply path 1 for connecting the bubble generator 14 and the water tanks 3, 3 to feed bubbles into the water tank.
And 5. The seawater tank 11 is fixed to the rear end of the water tank 3, and the liquid nitrogen cylinder 12, the bubble supply path 15 and the compressor 13 are attached to the front end of the water tank 3.
The bubble generator 14 is connected to the seawater tank 11, the liquid nitrogen cylinder 12, and the compressor 13 by a conduction pipe 16, and a valve 17 is provided at an outlet of each of the seawater tank 11 and the liquid nitrogen cylinder 12. A bubble supply path 15 for connecting the bubble generator 14 to the water tanks 3 is detachably connected to supply ports 19 provided in the lids of the water tanks 3.

The above-mentioned water tanks 3 and 3 can be used as a known live fish transport vehicle. One of the water tanks is filled with seawater for normal live fish transport, and the other water tank 3 is used as the ice-temperature live fish transport of the present invention. May be used.

When the water tank 3 is used for transporting live fish with ice temperature, the inside of the water tank is reduced by minus 1 degree Celsius by the cool air supply and circulation device 5.
Degree to 2 degrees. When the temperature in the water tank reaches the specified temperature, the cold air supply and circulation device is automatically stopped, and is automatically activated when the temperature in the water tank rises. This temperature control puts the live fish into a hibernation state and puts them in their respective cases, fills the respective cases with the seawater bubbles generated by the bubble generation and supply device 10, stores the cases containing the live fish in the water tank 3, and closes the lid 18. Air bubbles are constantly supplied into the water tank, and the density of the air bubbles in the water tank is always kept high. The apparatus is temporarily stopped so that an appropriate amount is always maintained. These bubbles have a very high specific gravity and do not disappear for a long time.

[0012]

As described above, in the ice-cooled live fish transport vehicle of the present invention, the live fish are put into a hibernation state and wrapped in seawater bubbles, so that the live fish are not dried and are supplied with sufficient oxygen. Can be transported. Therefore, since the live fish are transported in a state where they are not moved, there is an effect that they can be transported in a large amount without being damaged as compared with a conventionally known live fish transport vehicle.
