Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of marine aquaculture technology, specifically to a wave-resistant device and a marine ranching aquaculture system. Background Technology

[0002] Marine ranching refers to the technology of carrying out aquaculture in the ocean using structures such as net cages or net enclosures. Since the net cages or net enclosures are set up directly in the ocean, during severe weather such as typhoons and cold storms, the sea surface is prone to large fluctuations, forming large waves that can exert a significant impact on the net cages or net enclosures, easily causing damage and affecting aquaculture. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a wave-resistant device and a marine ranching system to solve the problem that existing net cages or enclosures are easily damaged by the impact of large waves.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, one aspect of this disclosure provides a wave-resistant device, comprising: a fixed component, a float, a first connector, and a second connector;

[0005] The buoy is connected to the fixed component and is used to float the fixed component on the sea surface. The first connector is connected to the fixed component and the second connector is used to connect to the top of the net. The first connector and the second connector are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0006] Optionally, one of the first connector and the second connector is a magnet, and the other is a magnetic metal; or,

[0007] Both the first connector and the second connector are magnets.

[0008] Optionally, the wave-resistant device further includes a sling, the first end of which is connected to the fixed component, and the second end of which is connected to the second connector or the top of the netting.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing component includes a support rope and a mounting base, the mounting base being connected to the support rope, and the first connector being connected to the mounting base.

[0010] Optionally, there are multiple first connectors, multiple second connectors, and multiple mounting bases. The multiple mounting bases are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the support rope. The first connector and the mounting base correspond one-to-one. The first connector is connected to the corresponding mounting base. The first connector and the second connector correspond one-to-one.

[0011] Optionally, the number of the floats is multiple, and the multiple floats are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the support rope.

[0012] Optionally, the fixing component further includes a winding mechanism connected to the support rope, the mounting base being connected to the side wall of the winding mechanism, and the first end of the sling being connected to the winding end of the winding mechanism. The winding mechanism is used to wind up and release the sling.

[0013] Optionally, the winding mechanism includes a winding driver, a winding drum, and two opposing support side plates. The two ends of the winding drum are rotatably connected to the two support side plates, and the two support side plates are connected to the support rope. The winding driver is connected inside the winding drum and is used to drive the winding drum to rotate in order to wind up the sling.

[0014] Optionally, each of the winding mechanisms is provided with a mounting base, a first connector, and a second connector on both sides, and a connecting seat is formed between the two second connectors, with the second end of the sling connected to the connecting seat.

[0015] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a marine ranching system, including a net and the aforementioned wave-resistant device, wherein the second connector is attached to the top of the net.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the magnetic connection between the first and second connectors enables rapid separation and connection. This allows the first and second connectors to separate when large waves occur, causing the netting to sink into the ocean and preventing damage from the impact of the waves. The first and second connectors can quickly separate when large waves impact the netting, adapting to rapidly changing weather conditions at sea and demonstrating excellent adaptability and strong wave resistance. This wave-resistant device reduces the impact of waves on the netting, protects it, extends its service life, and reduces the cost of marine aquaculture.

[0017] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0032] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are generally used to define the orientation of the accompanying drawings, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer parts of the relevant components. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one aspect of this disclosure provides a wind and wave resistant device, including: a fixing component, a float 2, a first connector 4, and a second connector 5.

[0035] The buoy 2 is connected to the fixed component and is used to float the fixed component on the sea surface. The first connector 4 is connected to the fixed component and the second connector 5 is used to connect to the top of the net 7. The first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0036] The fixing component supports and secures the first connector 4, while the buoy 2 floats on the sea surface. The buoyancy generated by the buoy 2 supports the fixing component, allowing the first connector 4 to float close to the sea surface. The second connector 5 connects to the net 7. When the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are magnetically connected, the top of the net 7 can approach the sea surface under the action of the buoy 2 and the fixing component, allowing the net 7 to unfold vertically. The net 7 can enclose an aquaculture space in the ocean for the cultivation of aquatic organisms.

[0037] The first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are magnetically connected, allowing for easy connection and separation. The first connector 4 and the second connector 5 have connected and separated states. When the sea surface is calm or has small waves, the force of the waves is small, and the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are connected, keeping the net 7 vertical. When the sea surface is rough, the force of the waves impacts the first connector 4, the second connector 5, and the net 7, causing the second connector 5 to separate from the first connector 4. At this time, the first connector 4 and the second connector are separated, and part of the net 7 moves below the sea surface, preventing it from being continuously impacted by the waves and thus protecting it from damage. This does not affect aquaculture. When the waves subside, manual maintenance can be performed by magnetically reconnecting the second connector 5 to the first connector 4.

[0038] It should be noted that when the wind and waves are large, the farmed aquatic organisms will move closer to the seabed due to their instinct to avoid danger, thus preventing them from escaping.

[0039] In the above technical solution, the magnetic connection between the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 enables rapid separation and connection of the two connectors. This allows the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 to separate when large waves occur at sea, causing the netting 7 to sink into the ocean and preventing damage from the impact of large waves. The first connector 4 and the second connector 5 can quickly separate when large waves impact the netting, adapting to rapidly changing weather conditions at sea and exhibiting excellent adaptability and strong resistance to wind and waves. This anti-wave device reduces the impact of wind and waves on the netting 7, protects the netting 7, extends its service life, and reduces the cost of marine aquaculture.

[0040] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, one of the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 is a magnet, and the other is a magnetic metal.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connector 4 is a magnet, and the second connector 5 is a magnetic metal. The magnetic metal can attract the magnet, allowing the second connector 5 to quickly adhere to the first connector 4 and maintain the connection. When the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are subjected to strong winds and waves, and the impact force is greater than the magnetic attraction force of the first connector 4 and the second connector 5, the second connector 5 will detach from the first connector 4, allowing the mesh 7 to sink and avoid being hit by the wind and waves.

[0042] In this embodiment, a magnetic attraction effect can be generated by a magnet and a magnetic metal. At the same time, the magnet and the magnetic metal are inexpensive and easy to purchase, making it convenient for a wide range of farmers to install and use.

[0043] Alternatively, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the first connector 4 is a magnetic metal and the second connector 5 is a magnet.

[0044] Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, both the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are magnets.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are both bipolar magnets that can generate magnetic attraction, facilitating the quick connection and separation of the first connector 4 and the second connector 5.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the wave-resistant device further includes a sling 6, with a first end of the sling 6 connected to a fixed component and a second end of the sling 6 connected to the top of a second connector 5 or a net 7.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sling 6 is used to limit the net 7, so that when the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are separated, the net 7 will not sink too much under the action of the sling 6, so as to facilitate the net 7 to form an enclosure effect. At the same time, it is convenient for aquaculture personnel to lift the net 7 from the ocean through the sling 6 and reconnect the first connector 4 and the second connector 5.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first end of the sling 6 is connected to the fixing component via a fixing head, and the second end of the sling 6 is connected to the second connector 5 via a fixing head. Optionally, the second end of the sling 6 can also be tied to the top of the netting 7 via a fixing head.

[0049] Understandably, when the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are connected, the sling 6 is in a bent state and is not under stress. When the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are separated, and the net 7 sinks to a sufficient depth, the sling 6 is taut and under stress. The length of the sling 6 can be set according to the common wave size in the nearby sea area. If the sea area has frequent and large waves, the sling 6 can be set to a longer length; if the sea area has few and small waves, the sling 6 can be set to a shorter length.

[0050] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the fixing component includes a support rope 1 and a mounting base 3, with the mounting base 3 connected to the support rope 1 and the first connector 4 connected to the mounting base 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, the mounting base 3 is fixedly connected to the support rope 1. The first connector 4 is fixed by the mounting base 3, which facilitates the connection between the first connector 4 and the second connector 5. The support rope 1 can float on the sea surface under the action of the buoy 2, and the support rope 1 can extend along the arrangement direction of the net 7.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting base 3 may be provided with through holes or binding rings, and the mounting base 3 can be fixed to the support rope 1 by binding straps, so that the mounting base 3 can be removed from the support rope 1 and its position adjusted. Specifically, the first connecting member 4 can be connected to the mounting base 3 by screws, and the first connecting member 4 can be replaced.

[0053] Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the fixing component may also be plate-shaped, and the plate itself may float on the sea surface. With the help of the buoy 2, the buoyancy can be increased, preventing the fixing component from sinking into the ocean.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, there are multiple first connectors 4, second connectors 5, and mounting bases 3. The multiple mounting bases 3 are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the support rope 1. The first connectors 4 and mounting bases 3 correspond one-to-one. The first connectors 4 are connected to the corresponding mounting bases 3. The first connectors 4 and second connectors 5 correspond one-to-one.

[0055] In this embodiment, each first connector 4 and each second connector 5 can be quickly connected and disconnected. When the wind and waves are large at the corresponding location, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 at this location can be separated, while at locations with smaller wind and waves, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 remain connected. Each first connector 4 can be connected to the mounting base 3, which can fix the first connector 4 in place.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support rope 1 extends along the arrangement direction of the net 7, while multiple first connectors 4 and multiple second connectors 5 are arranged along the length direction of the support rope 1, so that different positions of the net 7 can be connected, and the different positions of the net 7 can be adjusted according to the wind and wave conditions.

[0057] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the multiple first connectors 4, multiple second connectors 5 and multiple mounting bases 3 are arranged at equal intervals, which can produce a balanced connection effect. When the multiple first connectors 4 and multiple second connectors 5 are in the connected state, the netting 7 is guaranteed to unfold evenly.

[0058] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, there are multiple floats 2, which are distributed at equal intervals along the length of the support rope 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple floats 2 can generate sufficient buoyancy. The multiple floats 2 are arranged along the length of the support rope 1 and can support the entire support rope 1, thereby ensuring the support of the mounting base 3 and the first connector 4.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, a mounting base 3, a first connector 4, and a second connector 5 are provided between each pair of adjacent buoys 2, thereby ensuring that the mounting base 3 and the first connector 4 float on the sea surface.

[0061] In this embodiment, multiple buoys 2 ensure that the support rope 1 floats, and the equal distribution of multiple buoys 2 generates balanced buoyancy, so that the support rope 1 can float evenly on the sea surface and will not sink due to insufficient buoyancy in some areas.

[0062] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the fixing component further includes a winding mechanism connected to the support rope 1, the mounting base 3 connected to the side wall of the winding mechanism, and the first end of the sling 6 connected to the winding end of the winding mechanism. The winding mechanism is used to wind up and release the sling 6.

[0063] In this embodiment, the winding mechanism can wind up the sling 6, and the support rope 1 supports the winding mechanism, keeping it at the sea surface and preventing it from sinking below the sea level. The mounting base 3 is located on the side wall of the winding mechanism, and thus the first connecting member 4 is also located on the side wall of the winding mechanism. When the winding mechanism winds up the sling 6, the second connecting member 5 can move towards the first connecting member 4, allowing the second connecting member 5 to accurately magnetically connect with the first connecting member 4.

[0064] Understandably, the winding mechanism has a winding state and a release state. When the waves on the sea surface are small, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are in the connected state. At this time, the winding mechanism is in the winding state, the sling 6 is wound by the winding mechanism, the sling 6 is wrapped around the winding mechanism, and the top of the net 7 is close to the sea surface.

[0065] When the sea is rough, the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are separated, the winding mechanism is released, the sling 6 is released from the winding mechanism, and the net 7 sinks downward. As the waves decrease, the winding mechanism winds up, causing the sling 6 to move slowly upward. At this time, the second connector 5 moves toward the first connector 4. When the second connector 5 and the first connector 4 are re-magnetically connected, the top of the net 7 returns to a position close to the sea surface.

[0066] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the set winding mechanism can pull the sling 6 upward, which can promote the net 7 to return to its original position. Therefore, the aquaculture personnel do not need to perform too much intervention. Only simple inspection and maintenance are required, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the aquaculture personnel.

[0067] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the winding mechanism includes a winding driver, a winding drum 8, and two oppositely arranged support side plates 9. The two ends of the winding drum 8 are rotatably connected to the two support side plates 9, and the two support side plates 9 are connected to the support rope 1. The winding driver is connected inside the winding drum 8 and is used to drive the winding drum 8 to rotate in order to wind up the sling 6.

[0068] In this embodiment, the winding driver drives the winding drum 8 to rotate, thereby winding the sling 6. Two support side plates 9 support the winding drum 8, which is located between them. Both ends of the winding drum 8 are connected to the two support side plates 9 via bearings. Specifically, the support rope 1 is axially connected to the outer side walls of the two support side plates 9. Alternatively, the support rope 1 can be cut, with connecting rings at the axial points of the outer side walls of the two support side plates 9, and the support rope 1 connected to these connecting rings. Of course, the support rope 1 can also remain uncut, passing through the connecting rings and being secured with binding ropes.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first end of the sling 6 is connected to the outer wall of the winding drum 8. It can be understood that when the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 begin to separate, the sling 6 is released and the winding drum 8 rotates forward. When the second connector 5 moves closer to the first connector 4, the winding drum 8 rotates in reverse, causing the sling 6 to be wound up.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the winding driver can be a disc spring, which drives the winding drum 8 to reverse and wind.

[0071] Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the sling 6 may be an elastic rope, and therefore a winding mechanism may not be required. When the wind and waves subside, the elastic force of the elastic rope causes the second connector 5 to move toward the first connector 4, thereby magnetically connecting the second connector 5 and the first connector 4.

[0072] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, each winding mechanism is provided with a mounting base 3, a first connector 4, and a second connector 5 on both sides, and a connecting seat 10 is formed between the two second connectors 5, with the second end of the sling 6 connected to the connecting seat 10.

[0073] In this embodiment, two mounting seats 3 are provided on both sides of a winding mechanism, and each mounting seat 3 is connected to a first connecting member 4, with two corresponding second connecting members 5. Specifically, the two mounting seats 3 are connected to the outer walls of the two support side plates 9. By providing the first connecting members 4 and the second connecting members 5 on the two side walls of the two support side plates 9, a balanced connection can be achieved, preventing tilting.

[0074] Specifically, a connecting seat 10 is formed between the two second connecting members 5. The second end of the sling 6 is connected to the connecting seat 10, which can also balance the left and right sides and drive the two second connecting members 5 to move upward together.

[0075] like Figures 7-10As shown, another aspect of this disclosure also provides a marine ranching system, including a net 7 and the aforementioned wave-resistant device, with a second connector 5 connected to the top of the net 7.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, there are multiple nets 7, which together form an aquaculture space for raising aquatic organisms. A fixing member 11 is provided between each pair of adjacent nets 7, and each pair of adjacent nets 7 is connected to the corresponding fixing member 11.

[0077] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the marine ranching aquaculture system further includes a positioning stake 14, with the fixing member 11 connected to the positioning stake 14. The positioning stake 14 is used to connect to the seabed to fix the position of the net 7.

[0078] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the marine ranching system further includes an anchor chain 13, with an anchor chain 13 provided at the bottom end of each net 7. The anchor chain 13 is used to connect the bottom end of the net 7 to the seabed to prevent the farmed aquatic organisms from escaping from the position between the bottom end of the net 7 and the seabed.

[0079] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the marine ranching system further includes a marker 12, which is attached to the top of the fastener 11 and protrudes above the sea surface to mark the aquaculture area. The marker 12 may be a flag.

[0080] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0081] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0082] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
