Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to marine ranch equipment and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As living standards improve, people's pursuit of delicious food becomes more intense, leading to a growing demand for high-value deep-sea fish, such as salmon. Currently, high-quality aquaculture is primarily focused on coastal areas like the Norwegian fjords and the UK's North Sea. However, as demand grows, these areas are becoming increasingly crowded and the water environment is deteriorating. Consequently, marine aquaculture needs to move to deep-sea locations with less pollution and better purification capabilities, leading to the emergence of offshore platforms for this purpose.

[0003] However, current offshore platforms, due to structural limitations, have poor wind and wave resistance and require a strong shore-based support system. While suitable for marine aquaculture in nearshore areas with relatively good sea conditions, these platforms are relatively costly and are not suitable for deep-sea areas or those with harsh sea conditions, creating a bottleneck in the development of marine aquaculture. Furthermore, existing offshore platforms lack structures for human habitation and storage of supplies. Maintenance and monitoring of aquaculture operations require a significant number of supporting facilities, which not only increases costs but also increases the number of uncontrollable factors in the aquaculture process. Finally, once deployed in the ocean, existing offshore platforms are typically not adjustable, making them inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The spherical body includes a horizontally arranged central rod, a plurality of first rotating mechanisms, a plurality of weft rod groups, a plurality of first connecting rods and a closed net, wherein both ends of the central rod are connected to the anchor members through two stretching mechanisms respectively, the plurality of first rotating mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the central rod, the weft rod groups include a plurality of weft rods forming a ring, each ring is arranged at intervals and is centered on the central rod to form a spherical skeleton, a plurality of first connecting rods are arranged at intervals between two adjacent weft rod groups, the closed net is used to close the gap between the spherical skeleton and the first connecting rods, and the first rotating mechanism can make the spherical skeleton rotate along the central rod;

[0023] Multiple first chambers are provided in the central rod for human habitation.

The stretching mechanism is used to straighten the spherical body when it floats to pull the spherical body, and to contract when it sinks to pull the spherical body completely to the seabed.

[0024] The present invention is also achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0025] A control method for marine ranch equipment comprises the following steps: when a spherical body changes from a sinking state to a vertically floating state, air is injected into a plurality of symmetrical weft rods and a symmetrical first connecting rod, and the order of injecting air is from top to bottom; when the spherical body changes from a floating state to a sinking state, water is injected into all the weft rods and the first connecting rod, and the order of injecting water is from bottom to top; by injecting water or air into appropriate weft rods and the first connecting rod, the spherical body can achieve an inclined floating state at any angle; when the spherical body floats, the upper half of the spherical body is exposed to the water surface to be exposed to sunlight; after a period of time, water is injected into the weft rods and the first connecting rods of the upper half, and air is injected into the weft rods and the first connecting rods of the lower half; the spherical body rotates so that the upper half is turned underwater, and the lower half is rotated out of the water to be exposed to sunlight, and this cycle repeats.

[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. A plurality of first chambers are provided in the central pole. These first chambers are used for living and storing materials. Breeding personnel can live in the marine ranch equipment for a long time, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the marine ranch equipment and the monitoring of the breeding situation. The breeding plan can be adjusted in time according to the specific breeding situation, thereby obtaining better breeding benefits. Each weft rod and each first connecting rod can be independently filled with air or water, which makes the angle adjustment of the marine platform very flexible. The appropriate weft rod and first connecting rod can be selected for filling with water or air as needed (for example, due to design errors, the angle of the spherical body needs to be adjusted in the actual process to make the living of the personnel in the first chamber more comfortable), so that the spherical body can achieve an inclined floating state at any angle. Under normal circumstances, the spherical body floats vertically on the sea surface, with 20%-40% of its total body located on the water surface. When waves hit the spherical body, under the action of the first rotating mechanism, the spherical skeleton can rotate along the central pole, thereby offsetting the impact of the waves, so that the people living in the central pole will not feel uncomfortable due to the impact of the waves. When there is a typhoon or other extreme weather, all the weft rods can be rotated. When the rods and the first connecting rod are filled with water, the weight of the entire spherical body becomes greater than the buoyancy, and it will sink to the bottom of the sea. Even in typhoon weather, the seabed is relatively calm, so the marine ranch equipment can be protected from damage. After the weather returns to normal, air is poured into several weft rods and the first connecting rod to reduce the weight of the spherical body, and it will rise from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea. The stretching mechanism also changes from a contracted state to a stretched state, thereby pulling the spherical body. It can be seen that this marine ranch equipment can adapt well to deep sea areas and harsh sea conditions; because the central rod is filled with water, the weight of the spherical body will be reduced. In order to minimize the impact on people, it is best to keep the central pole in a vertical state when the spherical body rises or falls, that is, the spherical body should not be tilted. When rising, air is poured in symmetrically from top to bottom, and when descending, water is poured in symmetrically from bottom to top. This can make the center of gravity of the spherical body more stable, ensure the balance of the spherical body, and make the living environment of people in the central pole more comfortable; lightweight and high-strength composite materials can also be used to make bridges, connect multiple spherical bodies in series, form artificial islands on the sea, and create a cultural and tourism industry combined with marine ranch equipment.

[0028] 2. When the spherical body floats, the air extraction device extracts air through the channel set in the central rod and releases it into the spherical body through the weft rod and the first connecting rod. When the spherical body sinks to the seabed, the compressed air is slowly released into the spherical body to provide sufficient oxygen in the spherical body and ensure a good breeding environment.

[0029] 3. Multiple first power generation mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the central pole, first power generation mechanisms are arranged on the outside of some nodes, and second power generation mechanisms are arranged on the outside of the remaining nodes. When the spherical body floats, the first blade and the second blade on the water surface are blown by the wind, and the wind energy is converted into electrical energy, and the first blade and the second blade under the water surface are pushed by the waves. When the spherical body sinks to the bottom of the sea, the first blade and the second blade are both pushed by the waves, and the blue energy of the tide is converted into electrical energy, making full use of the wind and tidal forces of the ocean; the first blade and the second blade arranged on the outside of the node can slow down the impact of the tide on the spherical body, so that the fish cultured in the spherical body will not be frightened by the impact of the big waves, so that the fish have a better living environment; the outward protruding arc design of the second blade and the design of the two second blades being arranged at relative intervals and staggered can more effectively utilize the wind or tidal force, and with less noise.

[0030] 4. The stretching mechanism includes a telescopic power device connected to the lower end of the pull rope. When the spherical body sinks, the telescopic power device drives the stretching and contraction, thereby quickly and thoroughly pulling the spherical body into the seabed.

[0031] 5. The center rod is arranged horizontally. When the spherical body floats, the upper half is exposed to the water surface and can be exposed to sunlight to automatically perform solar ultraviolet sterilization. After a period of time, water is poured into the weft rod and the first connecting rod in the upper half, and air is poured into the weft rod and the first connecting rod in the lower half. In this way, the spherical body will rotate, so that the upper half will turn into water, and the lower half will turn out of the water from underwater to receive sunlight, and so on. The whole spherical body can be disinfected and sterilized by ultraviolet rays, ensuring a good living environment for fish. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A plurality of second connecting rods 142 are arranged at intervals between a rotating mechanism 12 and the adjacent circular ring. The closed net 16 is used to close the gap between the spherical skeleton and the first connecting rod 141 and the second connecting rod 142. The first rotating mechanism 12 can make the spherical skeleton rotate along the central rod 11; each weft rod 13, each first connecting rod 141 and each second connecting rod 142 are hollow tubes with independent water inlets and outlets, so that each weft rod 13, each first connecting rod 141 and each second connecting rod 142 can be independently filled with air or water, so that the spherical body can float on the sea surface 5 or sink to the seabed 4 at various angles. The stretching mechanism is used to straighten the spherical body when it floats to pull the spherical body, and to shrink when the spherical body sinks to the seabed 4. When the spherical body floats, a third chamber is provided in the weft rod 13 and the connecting rod 14 above the water surface for people to live in or store supplies.

[0048] The center rod 11 is provided with multiple first chambers for living or storing supplies, and a second chamber for storing compressed air. Several weft rods 13, several first connecting rods 141, and several second connecting rods 142 located below the spherical body are connected to the second chambers. An air extraction device is also provided in the second chamber. A channel connecting the air extraction device is provided within the center rod 11, and the upper end of the channel is connected to the atmosphere. When the spherical body floats, the air extraction device extracts air through the channel and releases it into the spherical body through the weft rods 13, the first connecting rods 141, and the second connecting rods 142. When the spherical body sinks to the seabed, the compressed air is released into the spherical body. The specific structure of the air extraction device and the layout of the channel are both existing technologies.

[0049] According to different needs, the diameter of the central rod 11 can be set to between 3m and 10m, the diameter of the weft rods 13 and the connecting rods 14 can be set to between 0.6m and 2m, and the diameter of the spherical body can be set to between 20m and 300m. In this embodiment, the diameter of the central rod 11 is 6m, the diameter of the weft rods 13 and the connecting rods 14 is 1.2m, and the diameter of the spherical body is 120m.

[0050] The spherical body also includes several cylindrical nodes 18. The ends of two adjacent weft rods 13 in each weft rod group are positioned on these nodes 18, with the nodes 18 in adjacent weft rod groups arranged in a staggered pattern. The connecting rods 14 between adjacent weft rod groups have their ends positioned on two staggered nodes 18. More specifically, the other ends of the two first connecting rods 141 on each node 18 in a weft rod group are connected to two adjacent nodes 18 in the adjacent weft rod group, respectively. The ends of the second connecting rods 142 are connected to the first rotating mechanism 12 and the nodes 18, respectively. The weft rods 13 and the two first connecting rods 141 form a triangular closed grid 17. The first rotating mechanism, the weft rods 13, and the two second connecting rods 142 also form a triangular closed grid 17. The closed net 16 includes a plurality of first mesh sheets 161 and second mesh sheets 162. The first mesh sheets 161 have the same shape as the closed cell 17 formed by the weft rods 13 and the first connecting rods 141 and are disposed within the closed cell 17. The second mesh sheets 162 have the same shape as the closed cell 17 formed by the first rotating mechanism 12, the weft rods 13 and the second connecting rods 142 and are disposed within the closed cell 17. More specifically, the edges of the first mesh sheets 161 are disposed on the weft rods 13 and the first connecting rods 141, while the edges of the second mesh sheets 162 are disposed on the weft rods 13 and the second connecting rods 142. One end of the first mesh sheet 161 penetrates into the first rotating mechanism 12 to close the gap between the first rotating mechanism 12 and the center rod 11.

[0051] The first rotating mechanism 12 includes an annular member 121 fixedly mounted on the center rod 11, an annular groove disposed within the annular member 121, and a plurality of round balls 122 disposed between the annular groove and the center rod 11. Adjacent round balls 122 are spaced apart. Multiple slots 123 are spaced apart on the outer side of the annular member 121 to facilitate the arrangement of the support assembly. In another embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 12 may also utilize bearings, with the slots disposed outside the bearings. The support assembly includes a plurality of support rods 15, one end of each support rod 15 being mounted within the slot 123 and the other end being mounted on the weft rod 13 or the node 18.

[0052] The stretching mechanism includes a telescopic power unit and a pull cord 31. A telescopic compartment 19 houses the telescopic power unit at the lower end of the center rod 11. The pull cord 31 is connected to the telescopic power unit at its upper end and to the anchor 2 at its lower end. The telescopic power unit, which drives the pull cord 31 to retract or extend, is conventional. The connection between the upper and lower ends of the pull cord 31, respectively, is also conventional.

[0053] The anchor 2 is a conical block made of reinforced concrete and has a weight capable of pulling the spherical body.

[0054] In practical applications, lightweight and high-strength composite materials in existing technologies can also be used to make bridges, connecting multiple spherical bodies in series to form artificial islands on the sea.

The mechanism for achieving the rotation of the first support 61 and the second support 71 is also the existing technology.

[0074] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0075] The marine ranch equipment is controlled by the following control method: when the spherical body changes from a sinking state to a vertical floating state, air is injected into a plurality of symmetrical latitude rods 13, symmetrical first connecting rods 141 and second connecting rods 142, and the order of injecting air is from top to bottom; when the spherical body changes from a floating state to a sinking state, all latitude rods 13, first connecting rods 141 and second connecting rods 142 are injected with water, and the order of injecting water is from bottom to top; select appropriate latitude rods 13, symmetrical first connecting rods 141 and second connecting rods 142 to form a floating state. By filling water or air into the first and second connecting rods 141, the spherical body can be tilted and floated at any angle. When the spherical body floats, the upper half is exposed to the water surface to receive sunlight. After a period of time, water is filled into the weft rods 13, the first and second connecting rods 141, 142 of the upper half, and air is filled into the weft rods 13, the first and second connecting rods 141, 142 of the lower half. The spherical body rotates so that the upper half is turned underwater, and the lower half is turned out of the water from underwater to receive sunlight, and this cycle repeats.

[0076] Example 6:

[0077] like Figure 13 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that:

The structure for converting mechanical energy of the second generator mechanism into electrical energy is provided within the corresponding node, and the specific structure is conventional. The mechanism for achieving rotation of the first and second supports 61 and 71 is also conventional.

[0079] The other structures and control methods of this embodiment are the same as those of the fifth embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0080] Embodiment seven:

[0081] The difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that:

[0082] In this embodiment, the upper portion of the two extension rods is not provided with a first power generation mechanism, and the outer side of each node is not provided with a first power generation mechanism or a second power generation mechanism.

[0083] The other structures and control methods of this embodiment are the same as those of the fifth embodiment and will not be described again here.
