Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a breeding rack flipping component. Background technology:

[0002] Existing aquaculture racks, such as the applicant's prior application for a single-bag floating aquaculture rack for shellfish (2019106459184), contain multiple net bags filled with shellfish, ensuring that shellfish farming can take place either directly below or above the water surface. With the net bags directly below the water surface, this area offers an optimal flow range, minimizing contact between nutrient-rich water and harmful insects and animals. Furthermore, the entire rack is tiltable, allowing the net bags to be fully exposed above the water. In this position, the shellfish surface dries out, causing algae to die off and reducing or eliminating any attached organisms, thus contributing to high-quality shellfish products. Additionally, when the shellfish mature, the net bags need to be removed from the rack, and the mature shellfish taken out of the net bags.

[0003] Currently, the turning over of culture racks or the removal of mature shellfish is mostly done manually, which is very labor-intensive. Several culture racks are usually tied together on a single sea rope, with space left for boats to pass through. At each rack, the boat must remain stationary for a period of time, and usually at least several people are needed to turn the rack over. Similarly, removing mature shellfish also requires manual labor, which is both physically demanding and arduous. Utility model content:

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple and easy-to-use breeding rack flipping component.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The structure of the breeding rack tilting component includes: a frame, hooks formed at the bottom of the two side rods of the frame, a top rod of the frame connected to a moving component to ensure the movement path of the tilting component, connecting rods provided below the top rod and connecting rods on the two side rods, and operating handles installed on the connecting rods; the hooks at the bottom of the two side rods hook onto the two sides of the breeding rack respectively to lift and tilt the breeding rack.

[0007] Furthermore, a control box is installed between the top rod and the connecting rod to install the control components. The control components control the moving components to move the breeding rack flipping components up and down or to the desired position.

[0008] Furthermore, the top rod of the frame is equipped with a connector that cooperates with a moving component installed on the hull or other parts, and the controller at this location moves the aquaculture rack tilting component to the desired position.

[0009] Furthermore, the flipping assembly cooperates with two connectors installed on the breeding rack. The two connectors are symmetrically installed and fixed on both sides of the breeding rack. The structure of each connector includes: an upper tube and a lower tube. The upper and lower tubes are connected by inner and outer stiffening plates on both sides. The inner stiffening plate has a sleeve at the center and bottom that is perpendicular to the upper and lower tubes. The two connectors are fixed to the middle position on both sides of the breeding rack through the sleeves. The outer stiffening plates and the upper and lower tubes extend to the outside of the breeding rack. When the flipping assembly is cooperated with the lower tube, the breeding rack can be lifted and flipped 180 degrees. When the flipping assembly is cooperated with the upper tube, the breeding rack can be lifted, adjusted, and the net bag can be removed or inserted into the breeding rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the aquaculture rack that works with the two connecting parts is a multi-bag floating aquaculture rack, including a frame body, net bags and floats that work together; multiple accommodating spaces are formed inside the frame body, the net bags are placed in the accommodating spaces, the floats are fixed to the frame body, and the shellfish seedlings are directly placed into the net bags; the frame body includes partitions and two connecting rods on both sides, the two connecting rods pass through the sleeves respectively and the sleeves are clamped between the two partitions for limiting.

[0011] Furthermore, the two side bars of the frame are separate structures, and the two hooks are locked to the main body of the frame by bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, a sleeve is fixedly installed on the connecting rod, and the handrail is installed in a U-shaped tube. The two ends of the U-shaped tube are respectively inserted into the sleeve and locked in place by bolts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model, compared with the prior art, significantly improves the breeding efficiency by improving the operation method of the shellfish breeding rack. This utility model allows the breeding rack to be lifted and moved to the desired position by hooking it with a hook. Furthermore, in conjunction with the connecting parts, the breeding rack can be lifted and rotated 180 degrees. This design allows workers to adjust the position of the rack effortlessly, assisting operators in flipping the breeding rack or moving it to different positions during operation.

[0014] This utility model can be matched with different breeding racks, and can be operated manually or with a control box installed to achieve automated operation. It has a wide range of industry applications, is simple to operate, and a single person can complete the entire operation process. Attached image description:

The two connectors 6 are fixed to the middle position on both sides of the breeding rack 4 through the sleeve 65. The outer stiffening plate 64 and the upper and lower tubes extend to the outside of the breeding rack 4. When the flipping component cooperates with the lower tube, the breeding rack 4 can be lifted and flipped 180 degrees. When the flipping component cooperates with the upper tube, the breeding rack 4 can be lifted, its position adjusted, and the net bag removed or inserted into the breeding rack.

[0030] The aquaculture rack 4, which cooperates with the two connecting parts 6, can be a multi-bag floating aquaculture rack, including a frame body 41, a net bag 42 and a float 43 that cooperate with each other; multiple accommodating spaces are formed inside the frame body 41, the net bag 42 is placed in the accommodating space, the float 43 is fixed on the frame body 41, and the shellfish seedlings are directly placed into the net bag; wherein, the frame body 41 includes a partition 411 and two connecting rods 412 on both sides, the two connecting rods 412 respectively pass through the sleeve 65 and the sleeve 65 is clamped between the two partitions 411 for limitation.

[0031] Furthermore, the two side rods 11 of the frame 1 can be a split structure, and the two hooks 12 are respectively locked to the frame body by bolts. A sleeve 21 can be fixed on the connecting rod 2, and the handrail 3 is a U-shaped tube, with both ends of the U-shaped tube inserted into the sleeve 21 and locked by bolts.
