[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The present invention proposes a windmill-type marine ranch cage 100, comprising:

[0056] Two net end plates 10, the two net end plates 10 are arranged opposite to each other, and part of the structure of the net end plates 10 is exposed above the sea surface. There is a rotation center line (not marked) between the two net end plates 10, and two ends of the rotation center line are respectively passed through the two net end plates 10;

[0057] A net board 20, the net board 20 is located between the two net end boards 10, the net board 20 is connected to the two net end boards 10 respectively, so as to enclose a breeding space 90 with the two net end boards 10, and a part of the structure of the net board 20 is exposed above the sea surface;

[0058] Two buoyancy members 30, the two buoyancy members 30 are respectively arranged on the outside of the two net end plates 10, and are used to provide buoyancy for the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100; and

[0059] A plurality of push plates 40 are protrudingly arranged on the outside of the breeding space 90 and are used to interact with environmental loads to generate a boosting force so that the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 rotates around the rotation center line.

[0060] The windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 of the technical solution of the present invention comprises two net end plates 10, a net enclosure 20, two buoyancy members 30 and a plurality of push plates 40. The net enclosure 20 and the two net end plates 10 are respectively enclosed to form a breeding space 90, and the two buoyancy members 30 are arranged on the outside of the net end plates 10 so that the net end plates 10 and the partial structures of the net enclosure 20 are exposed on the sea surface. When the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 is overturned due to excessive environmental load, the buoyancy members 30 can float up to reset the net end plates 10, so that the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 can work normally. A plurality of push plates 40 are arranged on the outside of the breeding space 90. The push plates 40 can be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the net enclosure 20 or on the outside of the net end plates 10. The setting position of the push plates 40 is not limited here. A plurality of push plates 40 are arranged at intervals. When the push plates 40 are acted upon by natural forces such as wind and waves, the natural forces will apply a boosting force to the push plates 40, and the boosting force will act on the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100, so that the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 rotates around the rotation center line. During the rotation of the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100, the attachment of marine organisms on the net end plates 10 and the net enclosure plates 20 can be reduced, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the net and reducing maintenance costs.

[0061] A plurality of mesh holes (not shown) are formed on the surface of the net end plate 10 and the net enclosure plate 20. The mesh holes have a small aperture, and seawater can flow into or out of the breeding space 90 through the mesh holes, but aquatic products cannot pass through the mesh holes to leave the breeding space 90. During the rotation of the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100, the attachment of marine organisms on the mesh holes can be reduced, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the net.

[0062] A plurality of push plates 40 are convexly arranged outside the breeding space 90. The push plates 40 can be arranged at intervals or according to requirements. No limitation is made here on the arrangement of the push plates 40. When natural forces such as wind and waves act on the push plates 40, a boosting force is applied to the push plates 40 to rotate the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 around the rotation center line.

[0063] The buoyancy member 30 may be a floating ball or a buoy, and the structure and type of the buoyancy member 30 are not limited herein.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 8In one embodiment of the present invention, the push plate 40 is protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the net enclosure 20, and the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 also includes a rotating shaft 50, which is extended along the length direction of the rotation center line, and the two ends are respectively passed through the two net end plates 10, and the two end surfaces of the rotating shaft 50 are respectively connected to the two buoyancy members 30, and the push plate 40 is extended along the length direction of the rotating shaft 50.

[0065] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, a windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 50 at the position of the rotation centerline, and both ends of the rotating shaft 50 are respectively passed through two net end plates 10, and both ends of the rotating shaft 50 are respectively connected with buoyancy members 30, so that the rotating shaft 50 can float near the sea surface. When the angle between the rotating shaft 50 and the sea level is too large, causing the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 to overturn, the buoyancy members 30 at both ends of the rotating shaft 50 can also quickly reset the rotating shaft 50 and float near the sea surface, so that the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 can operate normally, thereby improving the performance of the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 in resisting environmental loads.

[0066] The push plate 40 is convexly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the net plate 20 . When natural force acts on the push plate 40 , a boosting force is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the net plate 20 to rotate the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 around the rotating shaft 50 .

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 further includes a plurality of mesh partitions 60, wherein the mesh partitions 60 are located in the breeding space 90, one end of the mesh partition 60 is connected to the rotating shaft 50, and the other end of the mesh partition 60 is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the mesh enclosure 20, and a plurality of the mesh partitions 60 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating shaft 50 to divide the breeding space 90 into a plurality of mutually isolated breeding chambers 91, and at least one push plate 40 is provided on the outer side of each breeding chamber 91.

[0068] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of net partitions 60 divide the breeding space 90 into a plurality of breeding chambers 91. The plurality of breeding chambers 91 can breed different kinds of aquatic products. A push plate 40 is provided on the outer side of the breeding chamber 91 so that the breeding chamber 91 with a part of the space exposed to the sea surface can rotate the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 around the rotation center line under the action of wind. The provision of the net partitions 60 improves the space utilization rate of the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the push plate 40 is rotatably connected to the net clothing panel 20 to adjust the angle between the push plate 40 and the net clothing panel 20.

[0070] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, the push plate 40 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the net enclosure 20, and the angle between the push plate 40 and the net enclosure 20 is adjustable. As the angle increases, the windward area of ​​the push plate 40 increases, and the thrust force received increases, so that the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100 rotates around the center line of rotation, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the net.

[0071] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the net partitions 60 divide the net end plate 10 into a plurality of fan-shaped plates 11, and divide the net enclosure plate 20 into a plurality of arc-shaped plates 21, the left and right sides of the net partition 60 are respectively connected to the two fan-shaped plates 11, the inner end of the net partition 60 is connected to the rotating shaft 50, and the outer end of the net partition 60 is connected to the arc-shaped plate 21, one net partition 60, one arc-shaped plate 21 and two fan-shaped plates 11 form a net cage unit 70, and enclose the breeding chamber 91, and the push plate 40 is arranged on the outer side of the arc-shaped plate 21;

[0072] An opening (not marked) is formed on one side of the cage unit 70 away from the net partition 60, and the opening is connected to the breeding chamber 91. The cage unit 70 can rotate around the rotating shaft 50 to move from the opening of the adjacent cage unit 70 into the breeding chamber 91 of the adjacent cage unit 70 and be accommodated in the breeding chamber 91 of the adjacent cage unit 70.

[0073] In the technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of net partitions 60 divide the windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 into a plurality of cage units 70, a culture cavity 91 is formed inside the cage unit 70, an opening is formed on one side of the cage unit 70, and the cage unit 70 can be screwed into the culture cavity 91 of the adjacent cage unit 70 through the opening of the adjacent cage unit 70, thereby realizing the folding of the cage unit 70. Before the cage unit 70 is folded, the angle between the push plate 40 and the net enclosure 20 gradually decreases to zero, and at this time, the push plate 40 is stacked on the outer side of the net enclosure 20. The folded windmill-type marine ranch cage 100 is smaller in size and convenient for transportation.

[0074] In order to allow a cage unit 70 to be accommodated in the breeding chamber 91 of another adjacent cage unit 70, the volume of the subsequent cage unit 70 toward which the opening of the previous cage unit 70 is directed needs to be slightly smaller than the volume of the breeding chamber 91 of the previous cage unit 70. The plurality of cage units 70 include an outermost cage unit 70, an innermost cage unit 70 and a plurality of cage units 70 located therebetween. The sizes of the cage units 70 are successively reduced from the outermost cage unit 70 to the innermost cage unit 70 so that the plurality of cage units 70 can be successfully folded.

The driving mechanism can drive the net partition 60 of a cage unit 70 to rotate to the opening of the adjacent cage unit 70, so that the net partition 60 closes the adjacent opening, preventing the cultured aquatic products from leaving the culture chamber 91 from the opening, thereby improving the structural stability of the windmill-type ocean ranch cage 100.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the sector plate 11 comprises:

[0081] A first net unit 75, wherein the first net unit 75 is covered on the fan-shaped frame 92 to form the fan-shaped plate 11;

[0082] A second net unit 76 is provided between the second arc edges 74 of the two sector plates 11 to form the arc plate 21;

[0083] A third mesh unit 77 is provided between the first radius edges 72 of the two sector plates 11 to form the mesh partition 60;

[0086] In the technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention, the push plate 40 is located between the two fan-shaped plates 11 and is rotatably connected to the second net unit 76. Before folding the net cage, the push plate 40 rotates in the direction close to the second net unit 76, and the angle between the push plate 40 and the second net unit 76 gradually decreases until the push plate 40 and the second net unit 76 are stacked, and the plurality of net cage units 70 rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in turn until the plurality of net cage units 70 are all accommodated in the breeding chamber 91 of the same net cage unit 70, and the folding of the plurality of net cage units 70 is completed, thereby reducing the overall volume of the windmill-type marine ranch net cage 100 and making the windmill-type marine ranch net cage 100 easy to transport.

[0093] A driving mechanism (not shown) is drivingly connected to the shaft sleeve 80 so that the shaft sleeve 80 drives the cage unit 70 to rotate.

[0094] In the technical solution of one embodiment of the present invention, when the included angle between the push plate 40 and the second net unit 76 is increased, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 78 moves in a direction away from the second net unit 76, so as to drive the lifting edge 42 of the push plate 40 to move in a direction away from the second net unit 76. When the included angle between the push plate 40 and the second net unit 76 is reduced, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 78 moves in a direction close to the second net unit 76, so as to drive the lifting edge 42 of the push plate 40 to move in a direction close to the second net unit 76.
