JPS63273428A - Transportation vessel for live fish and live aquatic animal - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain air permeability of inner vessel while preventing water from spilling out of the vessel during transportation, by attaching a water face-pressing cover capable of opening and closing and having floating attached thereunder to an inner wall face of the vessel. CONSTITUTION:A water face pressing cover 2 having floating 3 attached thereunder and capable of opening and closing is attached to the inner side face in a vessel 1 horizontally in water face 4. Angle attached to the inside of vessel 1 may be 90 deg. or an angle other than 90 deg.. Waves of water face, etc., are diminished and isolated by the water face pressing cover 2 and a definite space is formed between water face and water face pressing cover by the floating 3 and air permeability of inner vessel is maintained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a container for transporting live fish and live aquatic animals, and in particular, the present invention relates to containers for transporting live fish and live aquatic animals. The present invention relates to a container for transporting live fish and live aquatic animals that can advantageously prevent spillage outside the container.

(b) Conventional technology If the transport water for live fish and live aquatic animals spills out of the container due to vibrations, shocks and tilting during transport, the transport water decreases and causes death of the transported animals during and after transport.

Typical prior art prevents water from spilling by tightly fixing the top lid of the transport container to isolate the inside of the container from the outside.
This airtight container is further equipped with an oxygen supply device and an air supply/exhaust port.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In such prior art, if there is no oxygen supplementation, the inside of the container is airtight, and as the transportation time elapses, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the transportation water decreases, leading to death of transported animals due to suffocation. do. In order to maintain the airtightness of the container, there are restrictions on the sideways and materials of the container. Furthermore, by attaching an oxygen supply device and an air supply/exhaust port, the structure of the container becomes large and complicated, and it is not possible to easily carry out iRI on the transportation facility used.

An object of the present invention is to use a simple structure to prevent transport water from spilling out of the container due to vibrations, shocks, and tilts during transportation of live fish and live aquatic animals, and to safely transport live fish and live aquatic animals. Transportation of live fish and live aquatic animals that can be transported by wheel and easily installed in a transport facility or a large transshipment container (for example, a shipping container) used by a transport facility, and can be realized at a lower cost. , to provide a container.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a transportation container for live fish and live aquatic animals, in which a retractable water surface holding cover with a float attached to the bottom surface is placed horizontally on the water surface and superimposed on the inner surface of the container. Alternatively, it is a container for transporting live fish and live aquatic animals that is characterized by being attached at an angle other than 90 degrees.

(E) Embodiments The present invention will be explained below according to illustrated embodiments.
The figure is a sectional view of the transportation container r11 for live fish and live aquatic animals, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof.

An openable and closable water surface holding cover 2 with a float 3 attached to the lower surface is attached to the inner surface of the container l horizontally to the water surface 4,
The angle at which it is attached to the inner surface of the container 1 may be 90 degrees or an angle other than 90 degrees. This water surface holding cover 2 may be made of any rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, or pliable plate or sheet.
Since it is not connected to the inner surface of 31, it can be opened and closed. A float 3 is attached to the lower surface of the water surface retaining cover 2 to prevent the water surface retaining cover 2 from submerging in water and to push the water surface retaining cover 2 above the water surface 4, thereby forming a certain space between the water surface 4 and the water surface retaining cover 2. .

Waves on the water surface 4 caused by slopes, vibrations, and impacts along the way,
Water that is about to spill to the outside through the inner surface of the container 1 is dissipated and blocked by the water surface holding cover 2, and is prevented from spilling outside the container. In addition, the float 3 attached to the lower surface of the water surface retaining cover 2 creates a certain space between the water surface 4 and the water surface retaining cover 2 without submerging the water surface retaining cover 2. Allows air to enter and exit this space through gaps for opening and closing.
Ru.

(F) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, waves on the water surface caused by inclination, vibration, and impact during transportation, and water that propagates through the inner surface of the container 1 and is about to spill to the outside, are removed by this water surface suppressor. The cover 2 dissipates and blocks the waves and prevents them from spilling outside the container.

Therefore, the death of transported animals during and after transportation due to a decrease in transportation water due to spillage during transportation is prevented.

In addition, the lower surface l of the water surface presser cover 2: The attached float 3 allows the water surface presser cover 2 to maintain its position on the water surface 4 without being submerged in water.
A certain space is formed between the container 1 and the water surface retaining cover 2.
Since air can enter and exit this space through the gap between the inner tank surface and the opening/closing gap of the water surface retaining cover 2, the ventilation inside the container is maintained and the amount of dissolved oxygen in the transported water is prevented from decreasing even after the transport time has elapsed. I can escape. This prevents suffocation of transported animals, and when the density of transported animals is increased, forced replenishment using an oxygen supply device can be easily carried out from outside the container through this ventilation space, making it possible to supply and exhaust air compared to a closed container. There is no need for a spout, and the container has a simple structure and can be made smaller. Therefore, it can be easily installed in a transportation facility or a large transshipment container (for example, a shipping container) used by the transportation facility.

The water surface holding cover 2 may be made of any rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, or pliable plate or sheet, and does not require an airtight structure, so restrictions on the structure and material of the container are relaxed. Ru. Therefore, by constructing the entire container from a flexible material, it is possible to prevent damage when a transported animal comes into contact with the container. Also, materials that allow the entire container to be folded down and stored (e.g. waterproof sheet)
Because of its construction and prefabricated structure, it can be easily installed in transport facilities and large transshipment containers (e.g., transport containers) used by transport facilities, and the container can be collected and returned after transportation, making it compact and lightweight. It becomes easy to use. Therefore, instead of the cryogenic transport container dedicated to live fish that is required for the low-temperature transport of live fish and live aquatic animals, the main body is stored in large transshipment containers (e.g. refrigerated containers, ice-cold containers) normally used by transport facilities. By installing the transportation container of the invention, live fish and live aquatic animals can be transported easily at low temperatures and at low cost.
