Abstract

This invention is related to an aquaculture heating device. A heating unit is hung on a support rod, so that the support rod can be horizontally placed above an aquaculture and two ends of the support rod can be fixedly positioned on two sides of the aquaculture to let the heating unit hung on the support rod to be dropped and immersed in the water of the aquaculture when winter, especially cold stream, comes. When electricity is provided to conductive yarns of a heating layer of the heating unit, heating filaments of the conductive yarns will generate heat to be transferred to the water and gradually diffused throughout the aqua culture through the waterproof fabric layer. Thus, the water temperature is raised to effectively help the aquatic organisms to resist the cold winter and not to be frozen to death caused by the very low water temperature.

Claims

1. An aquaculture heating device, comprising:

at least a heating unit having at least two waterproof fabric layers covering a heating layer, wherein the heating layer comprises at least a heating fabric comprising multiple conductive yarns in a first direction and multiple nonconductive yarns in a second direction, as well as multiple metal conductive filaments disposed on two sides of the heating fabric and in a direction parallel to the second direction to be interwoven with the conductive yarns in the first direction to form a conductive path, wherein the conductive yarns and the nonconductive yarns are interwoven as warps and wefts, and wherein the conductive yarns each has a nonconductive axial yarn spiral-wound by a heating filament; and

a suspension unit comprising a support rod having at least a binding part, wherein one terminal of the binding part disposed on the support rod and the other terminal of the binding part assembled with the heating unit.

2. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein the heating layer comprises multiple heating fabrics and a fixing element for fixing the heating fabrics.

3. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the heating filaments of the conductive yearns in the heating fabric is 0.02-0.12 mm.

4. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein a winding number of the heating filaments on the axial yarns of the conductive yarns in the heating fabric is 70-125 circles/cm.

5. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein a distribution width of the metal conductive filaments on two sides of the heating fabric is about 0.6-1.0 cm.

6. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the metal conductive filaments is 0.05-0.12 mm.

7. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein the metal conductive filaments on two sides of the heating fabric are collectively connected to one ends of two conductive wires, and the other ends of the two conductive wires are penetrated outwardly from the waterproof fabric layer.

8. The aquaculture heating device of claim 7, wherein the other is ends of the two conductive wires of the heating layer of the heating unit that outside the waterproof fabric layer are electrically connected to a power supply unit converting AC electricity to DC electricity and being connected to a control unit.

9. The aquaculture heating device of claim 1, wherein one end of the support rod of the suspension unit is further connected to a furling unit having a motive power unit.

10. The aquaculture heating device of claim 9, wherein the motive power unit is one of an electrical power unit and a manual power unit.
