Description

Field of technology

The utility model relates to the storage of shellfish, and specifically to the above-water (without water) storage of shellfish such as oysters.

State of the art

The Vitrina-S marine showcase is known from the prior art (see https://xn----7sbah5ajqc8a.xn--p1ai/catalog/akvariumi-vitrini/vitrina-s), made of double-glazed windows made of M1 glass, which prevents the formation of condensation due to temperature differences and allows you to present live products in the best possible way.

A disadvantage of the known device is the storage of shellfish directly in water. This storage method allows the pathogenic environment (diseases) to be spread to other individuals, which leads to illness and death. Also, when an individual dies during the decomposition process, neighboring individuals die.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed device is a system for above-water storage of live mollusks (see patent for invention RU 2611825 dated March 1, 2017), containing a support for containers, containing a surface for supporting a plurality of containers, with each container containing corresponding cells for placing live shellfish in a vertical orientation substantially perpendicular to the surface; a water tank carried by a container support; a pumping system connected to the water reservoir and carried by the container support for pumping water from the reservoir into one or more containers above the clam; a manifold connected to the water reservoir and carried by a container support for collecting and supplying water to the reservoir, which is forced by a pumping system and flows through the shellfish.

The main differences between the claimed utility model and the prototype include the presence of a water purification, disinfection and cooling system, as well as the transparency of the container for storing shellfish, which allows for visual inspection of the product by the buyer. In addition, the storage time of shellfish in the prototype is 4-5 days, which allows only transportation, but not storage. In the claimed utility model, the storage time for shellfish is 30-45 days due to the presence of equipment for cleaning, disinfecting and cooling water.

Disclosure of utility model

The purpose of the proposed utility model is to create an aquarium rack for above-water storage of shellfish, such as oysters.

The technical result is to increase the storage time of oysters due to the presence of equipment for cleaning, disinfection and cooling.

To achieve the set task and technical result, it is proposed to create an aquarium rack for storing oysters, containing:

lower housing in which the SAMP filtration system is located, having a receiving compartment for water (4), a mechanical filtration compartment (5), a biological treatment compartment (6), a chemical treatment compartment (7), a common compartment containing a heat exchanger (11), a refrigeration unit, UF lamp (13), water circulation pump (8), as well as emergency overflow (12),

upper transparent housing (10), installed on the lower housing from above, having an upper water collection pan (1), a main pipe (9), through which water from the SAMP filtration system is supplied to the upper pan, system using a water circulation pump (8) irrigation system, consisting of pipes with small holes, and a water collection tray (2), into which water flows from the irrigation system, with a receiving pipe (3), through which water flows by gravity back into the SAMP filtration system.

The SAMP filtration system (hereinafter referred to as the system) is a filter with biological, chemical and mechanical filtration. The system is divided into several compartments, each responsible for a specific role in the overall water filtration system:

1. Receiving compartment (4), which is responsible for receiving incoming water. It receives incoming water and then moves it due to natural pressure into the mechanical filtration compartment.

2. Mechanical filtration compartment (5), which removes suspended particles from the incoming water using a filter in the form of a porous material with open pores, in which some of the particles are retained. Next, the water flows by gravity into the biological water treatment compartment.

3. Compartment (6), responsible for the biological purification of water due to the oxidation of waste products, namely, water falls on an unevenly perforated plate, begins to drip and at the same time oxidizes when interacting with oxygen, then the water falls on spherical plastic elements - a biological substrate - on where colonies of bacteria live, they convert nitrites into nitrates, which are removed during system maintenance. Then the water, through pressure, enters the next water purification compartment.

4. Compartment (7), responsible for chemical water purification, in which there is a bag with absorbent material, which, due to its porosity, removes remaining dirt. After this, the water flows by gravity into the common compartment.

5. A common compartment that performs two functions at once: maintaining the general water level to return purified water to the general capacity of the aquarium display case and placing equipment to perform other water purification functions according to the product configuration. The movement of water is carried out by a water pump.

6. Emergency overflow (12) of the clean water compartment.

The lifting pump circulates water from the filtration system to the refrigeration unit, then to the irrigation system, to the collection pan and back to the SAMP. At the same time, the pump is equipped with an automatic shutdown function (the electronic mechanism of the device stops its operation when there is insufficient water or its absence).

Implementation of a utility model

This section of the description will present the most preferred embodiment of the utility model, which, however, does not limit other possible embodiments that are clearly evident from the application materials and understandable to a specialist.

The equipment is connected to a cold water supply using a flexible connection or other convenient method. Next, install the connection of the drain from the filtration system to the sewer pipes. Connect grounding and power supply. Fill the SAMP filtration system with water. Next, water from the SAMP filtration system is pumped through a pipeline to the refrigeration unit, cooled, and then supplied through a pipeline to the irrigation system - an upper tray with small holes. Due to the shape of the hole, a drop is formed that falls on a live seafood (shellfish), flows into a collection tray and by gravity flows back into the SAMP filtration system, where it undergoes mechanical cleaning, biological and chemical cleaning, cooling, until it is again sent by pump to the ultraviolet lamp and then into the upper tray to collect water.

Thanks to the presence of water purification, disinfection and cooling systems, the storage time of oysters is up to 45 days.
