Design of monorail transporter for pond fish

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of the labour-intensive and inefficiency during the harvesting process in pond farming, a monorail transporter used for pond fish is designed. This monorail transporter is driven by worm gear and belt. The monorail is set up in accordance with the terrain of the pond, to meet the transportation demand of high-drop condition. The chassis designs with the slot can prevent the monorail transporter from rolling over and deorbiting during the runtime. The monorail transporter controlled by manual is taken as research object, and the wireless remote control technology is used . According to the actual test results, with the capacity of 120 kg towards to uphill, uphill angle between 30° to 40°, speed at 0.4-0.8 m/s, and only 3 operators, transferring the fish of weight 4 800 kg from the pond to the vehicle was completed within 40 min. The system operation is reliable and suitable for raising the fish from the pond.
