Description

Algae scraping ball for algae cultivation device

The present invention relates to an algae scraping ball structure that can effectively improve the efficiency of algae scraping.

At present, when feeding shrimps, clams and other aquatic products, they are all fed with algae. Therefore, the demand for algae is quite large and must be raised in large quantities through algae cultivation devices.

Therefore, it is similar to the invention No. I342185 "Cultivator for cultivating algae" published on May 21, 100 of the Republic of China, which discloses: a transparent pipe fitting composed of a plurality of unit bodies, which is transparent Both ends of the pipe fittings are equipped with joints and pistons are arranged inside the pipe fittings; thereby, when the algae grown in the transparent pipe fittings grow from seedlings to strong fat plants (i.e. adult plants), it can be monitored by immediate production The equipment pushes the piston in the pipe fitting to discharge the algae fat strains out of the pipe fitting and collect them, and at the same time clean the inner wall of the pipe fitting.

The pipe fittings of the previous patent in this patent are arranged in a flat reciprocating bending arrangement to increase the breeding area, and the relative pipe fittings layout area will also become larger, resulting in a larger space required for breeding, which not only takes up space, but is also easily affected. Broken or destroyed by strong winds.

Another example is the Invention No. I678147 "Algae Cultivation Circulation Device" patent case announced on December 1, 108 of the Republic of China, which discloses that the algae cultivation device is divided into a cultivation area and a recovery area. The cultivation area is the algae cultivation circulation device. , Including the water inlet pipe, the first branch group, the second branch group, the breeding pipe and the recovery pipe. After the water inlet pipe is connected with the preset breeding water injection device, the first valve body and the second valve body are connected respectively, and the first valve The body is connected to the first branch group, the second valve body is connected to the second branch group, and the first branch group extends There are a first shunt pipe and a second shunt pipe, connected by a third valve body, and the second shunt group is respectively extended with a third shunt pipe and a fourth shunt pipe, connected by a fourth valve body, and the cultivation pipe contains a movable And the two ends are respectively connected to the first branch group and the second branch group, the recovery pipe is connected to the third valve body and the fourth valve body, and the other end is connected to the preset algae recovery device, thereby closing the first A valve body and a fourth valve body, open the second valve body and the third valve body, so that the thruster pushes the algae water to inject the algae water forwardly into the recovery pipe through the first splitter group, and closes the second valve body and the third valve body , Open the first valve body and the fourth valve body, so that the thruster pushes the algae water through the second splitter group to inject the algae water in the reverse direction into the recovery pipe, so that the cultivation pipe can directly recover the algae water in the forward or reverse direction.

However, the anti-pusher of the previous patent is elliptical, so that the curvature of the curved part of the cultivation pipe (R angle radius) needs to be large, so that the anti-push device can pass through the cultivation pipe without being stuck. mobile. Once the pusher is moved to the end position of the breeding pipe, it will also cause jamming. Moreover, when the algae water pushes the pusher, the algae water easily passes through the pusher along the elliptical shell, and cannot smoothly push the pusher, so it is not ideal in use.

In view of this, in view of the current use of algae cultivation devices have the above-mentioned shortcomings. Therefore, the present invention provides an algae scraping ball for an algae cultivation device, which includes: a first round block body, which is a flat shape made of a soft material, and the front and back sides of the first round block body are provided with Two opposite first impulse surfaces; a second round block body, which is flat made of the soft material, the front and back sides of the second round block body are provided with two opposite second impulse faces The second round block system and the first round block body are assembled and fixed perpendicularly to each other; a third round block body is a flat shape made of the soft material, and the front and back of the third round block body are two The surface system is provided with two opposite third impulse surfaces, the third round block system, the second round block body, and the first round block body are assembled and fixed perpendicularly to each other, so that the surface of the algae scraping ball has a plurality of A triangular conical groove formed by the two first impulse surfaces, the two second impulse surfaces and the two third impulse surfaces.

Four first notches are provided at four equal intervals on the periphery of the first round block body, and the central part of the second round block body is provided with an elongated first card slot penetrating the two second impulse surfaces. The second round Two second notches are provided on the periphery of the block corresponding to the narrowest groove width of the first slot, and the central part of the third round block is provided with a cross-shaped one penetrating the two third impulse surfaces. The second card slot.

The second round block body is horizontally clamped perpendicular to the first round block body, so that the first slot of the second round block body is correspondingly clamped into any two opposite first notches of the first round block body Inside, the third round block body is respectively perpendicular to the first round block body and the second round block body to be clamped laterally, so that the second locking slot of the third round block body is correspondingly clamped in the first round block The other two first notches of the body are correspondingly locked into the two second notches of the second round block body.

The above-mentioned soft material is sponge.

The central part of the first round block body is provided with a through hole penetrating the two first impulse surfaces, and a counterweight is arranged in the through hole.

The above-mentioned through hole and the counterweight are both set in a matching circular shape.

The number of the above-mentioned equi-triangular conical grooves is eight.

The above technical features have the following advantages:

1. The system can arbitrarily choose different aquaculture tanks to circulate or discharge aquaculture water according to different usage requirements for cultivating or collecting algae.

2. The algae scraping ball system can move back and forth in the circulating cultivation unit to scrape the algae on the inner wall, and at the same time can be intercepted by the first blocking member or the second blocking member to avoid blocking.

3. The algae scraping ball is set in a spherical shape, so the curvature [R angle radius] of each bend of the curved sections can be set to be smaller, and the algae scraping ball can pass smoothly without obstruction .

4. A plurality of triangular conical grooves are formed on the surface of the algae scraping ball, which can make the culture water directly spur the triangular conical grooves to help the algae scraping ball roll and help improve the efficiency of the algae scraping.

5. With the cultivation water, you can choose the forward or reverse flow, so as to reciprocately push the algae scraping ball to move back and forth in the circulating breeding unit to scrape off the algae.

6. The circulating breeding unit can be installed in the protective space formed by the breeding tanks, and can be covered with canvas on the breeding tanks, so as to block the damage caused by strong winds or typhoons to extend its use life.
