Description

Live fish tank individual control system {A Live-fish Aquarium Control System}

The present invention relates to a live fish tank individual control system that effectively and economically integrated management of live fish tanks, such as aquaculture farms, storage and aquariums, by individually setting environment.

Conventional farms, warehouses and aquariums circulate seawater using a 24-hour drive motor to maintain the live environment of live fish, mainly dependent on sea temperature. This is because when the temperature of the sea water is too low, the behavior of the live fish decreases and the survival rate decreases. In summer, when the temperature of the sea water increases, the fish species often die due to the decrease in the survival rate of the live fish and the deteriorated environment. In addition, even if equipped with a cooler or boiler, it is a large electricity consumption, and even if only one live fish tank is to be cooled or heated, the entire system must be operated and all the live fish tanks are created in the same environment. It was the way.

For example, a farm with four 2 tonnes of fish tanks uses a chiller with a capacity of 8 tonnes to cool a total of 8 tonnes of seawater, which requires a separate large capacity generator, Since 8 tons of sea water was cooled simultaneously, the cooling rate of 8 tons was very slow, and it was an inefficient operation that kept all live fish tanks at the same temperature.

In addition, by continuously supplying oxygen without calculating the appropriate dissolved oxygen amount for each fish species, it causes excessive waste of oxygen, which may cause death due to excessive oxygen.

In general, it is common to allow a user to recognize this as a bell during a power failure, but for this reason, the administrator may be worried about the fatigue even when the user is tired.

The present invention has been devised to solve such conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an individual fish tank control system for creating an efficient and economical optimal environment by individually managing each fish tank. .

In addition, live conditions of light should be implemented in live fish.

Hereinafter, the operational state of the present invention shown in Figures 1a and 1b.

When the inventor selects the fish for each tank by using a computer with a program built in-house, using the data backed up in the program, it provides the optimal environment for survival such as proper temperature and proper oxygen amount of each fish species. When the set environment and the temperature of the sea water are the same, the seawater flows directly into the live fish tank 13 without passing through the cooler 6 or the boiler 7, but the setting environment for each tank is different from the current live fish tank 13 , First, the sea water is heated and cooled in the cold / hot water tank (4) through the cooler (6) and the boiler (7), the control unit 200 received through the temperature sensor 10 installed for each live fish tank By comparing the current temperature value and the set temperature value, the seawater of the live fish tank that is the most different from each other in order of priority or at the same time by the valve operation of the automatic control unit 100 according to the control signal of the controller 200 A fixed quantity of cold / hot seawater is distributed, and the cooled or heated seawater is reused through the purifier 8 at regular time intervals.

In this case, if the cold / hot water tank (4) is divided into a cold water tank and a hot water tank separately, it is inefficient to have eight tanks for this purpose by connecting the cooler (6) and the boiler (7) to one cold / hot water tank together All boilers or all hot water tanks, or one tank as a cold water tank, the other tanks can be used as needed in many cases, such as to increase the efficiency, all boilers if you want to warm up only one fish tank It is possible to operate economically by using only one boiler without operating the system, and if all seawater of all live fish tanks needs to be heated or cooled, all cold / hot water tanks should be operated. Each tank is connected in series in case the seawater of the hot water tank goes out into the tank before it reaches the set temperature. Second live fish tank (13) from the set high temperature, or in sequence, to a low efficient than directly heating / cooling seawater were to operate economically.

In addition, a separate auxiliary control device 12 is placed in each tank to be conveniently used and managed in a place where a lot of work is actually performed.

Hereinafter, the operating state of the automatic adjustment unit 100 shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 through an embodiment.

For example, when the temperature of the seawater is 10 degrees, the first tank 13 is 12 degrees, the second tank 13a is 14 degrees, the third tank 13b is 8 degrees, and the fourth tank 13c is 6 degrees. When the value of the degree is set, the valve of the automatic adjustment unit 100 is automatically opened and closed according to the signal of the control unit 200, and the cooler 6 set to 6 degrees in the first cold / hot water tank 4, and the second cold / hot water The cooler 6a set at 8 degrees is connected to the tank 4a, and since each cold / hot water tank is connected in series, the seawater having 10 degrees is first cooled through the first cold / hot water tank 4 and cooled to 8 degrees. After passing through the second cold / hot water tank (4a) is cooled to 6 degrees and enters the automatic control unit 100 through the cold water pipe (c), the boiler is set to 12 degrees in the third cold / hot water tank (4b) The fourth cold / hot water tank 4c is connected to a boiler 7c set at 14 degrees, and the seawater is heated to 14 degrees by passing through the third cold / hot water tank 4b and the fourth cold / hot water tank 4c. Automatically through after the hot water pipe (b) Is put into hip 100. The Initially, the seawater of the seawater pipe (a) and the hot water of the hot water pipe (b) are mixed in the cold / hot water mixing pipe 14 and flow simultaneously to the first and second water tanks 13 and 13a, and then to the first water tank 13 The valve 31 is closed when the seawater of 12 ° C. is set to 12 degrees, and flows only into the second tank 13a. When the seawater of the second tank 13a is 14 degrees, the valve 3o is closed. Thereafter, when the seawater temperature of each tank rises over time, the valves 31 and 3o are opened to adjust the seawater temperature of the tank. In the third and fourth water tanks, the sea water of the seawater pipe (a) and the hot water of the hot water pipe (b) are mixed in the cold / hot water mixing pipe 14 and adjusted in the same manner as described above.

In the case described above, in order not to operate all the coolers 6 and the boiler 7, the cooler 6a is used for the second cold / hot water tank 4a, and the boiler 7c is used for the fourth cold / hot water tank 4c. ) Can be operated to achieve the same result.

As such, when the amount of the heated / cooled seawater is large, a more efficient heating / cooling effect can be obtained by connecting each cold / hot water tank in series, and when the amount of the heated / cooled seawater is low, a single cooler Alternatively, the boiler can be operated economically with the same result.

As described above, the present invention enables live fish tanks such as aquaculture farms, storages and aquariums to be individually and easily achieved through an automated system to maintain the freshness of live fish. In addition to the usefulness to promote the benefits, the present invention is also given the advantage of giving the administrator a more leisure due to the security and automated system.
