[0024] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only one embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, without paying any creative work, other embodiments can be obtained based on this drawing and embodiment, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention mainly consists of a shaking mechanism, a net cage clamping mechanism, a cultured product conveying device and a cultured product collecting device. The net cage clamping mechanism is installed on the shaking mechanism, the shaking mechanism is arranged above the cultured product conveying device, and the cultured product collecting device is arranged at the output end of the cultured product conveying device. When the cultured products are out of the cage, the culture net cage is hung on the net cage clamping mechanism and tensioned, and then the culture net cage suture line is pulled out to make the side wall of the culture net cage open. Under the drive of the shaking mechanism and the net cage clamping mechanism, the culture net cage is shaken in multiple directions up and down, front and back, left and right, and can be reciprocated circumferentially, so that the cultured products in the culture net cage are shaken onto the cultured product conveying device for transmission, and finally transported to the cultured product collecting device for collection.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the aquaculture conveying device refers to a conveyor belt device 1, and the aquaculture collecting device refers to a collecting box 4. The collecting box 4 is placed at the output end position of the conveyor belt device 1. The shaking mechanism is installed on the lower end surface of the mounting plate 3. Four groups of electric lifting columns 2 are fixedly installed on the front and rear side walls of the conveyor belt device 1. The lifting ends of the electric lifting columns 2 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 3. The installation positions of the lifting ends of the electric lifting columns 2 correspond to the four corners of the lower end surface of the mounting plate 3, so that the mounting plate 3 can be raised and lowered, thereby driving the shaking mechanism and the net cage clamping mechanism to achieve lifting and adjustment, which is convenient for the installation, drawing and disassembly operations of the aquaculture net cage on the net cage clamping mechanism. At the same time, it can be adjusted according to aquaculture net cages of different diameters, so that the distance between the side wall of the aquaculture net cage and the conveyor belt device 1 is maintained in a reasonable range.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the shaking mechanism includes a first mounting plate 6, a second mounting plate 17 and a third mounting plate 19. The first mounting plate 6 is divided into two groups, which are symmetrically mounted on the lower end surface of the mounting plate 3 through a telescopic guide column 5. The telescopic guide column 5 is connected and mounted between the four corners of the upper end surface of the two groups of first mounting plates 6 and the lower end surface of the mounting plate 3 in two groups of four. The second mounting plate 17 is mounted on the lower end surface of the first mounting plate 6 through a first guide rail 18. The third mounting plate 19 is mounted on the lower end surface of the second mounting plate 17 through a second guide rail 20. The first mounting plate 6 is transmission-connected to the longitudinal shaking drive mechanism, the second mounting plate 17 is transmission-connected to the front and rear shaking drive mechanism, and the third mounting plate 1 9 is connected to the left and right shaking drive mechanism, so that the first mounting plate 6 can realize reciprocating movement in the up and down direction, thereby driving the second mounting plate 17 and the third mounting plate 19 to realize reciprocating movement in the up and down direction. At the same time, the second mounting plate 17 can realize reciprocating movement in the front and back direction, thereby driving the third mounting plate 19 to realize reciprocating movement in the front and back direction. At the same time, the third mounting plate 19 can realize reciprocating movement in the left and right direction. Therefore, the third mounting plate 19 can realize reciprocating movement in the up and down, front and back, left and right directions. The third mounting plate 19 is provided with a mesh cage clamping mechanism, so the mesh cage clamping mechanism can also realize reciprocating movement in the up and down, front and back, left and right directions to realize the shaking of the mesh cage clamping mechanism in the up and down, front and back, left and right directions.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal shaking drive mechanism includes two groups of mounting frames 7 that are symmetrically fixed on the mounting plate 3. Crankshafts 9 are movably installed on the two groups of mounting frames 7. The crankshafts 9 are fixedly connected to the power output end of the first motor 8. The first motor 8 is fixedly installed on one of the groups of mounting frames 7. Two connecting parts 10 are set on the crankshaft 9. The connecting part 10 is hinged to the connecting rod seat 12 set on the first mounting plate 6 through a connecting rod 11. The crankshaft 9 is driven to rotate by the first motor 8, and then the first mounting plate 6 is driven to realize reciprocating movement in the up and down directions.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the front and rear shaking drive mechanism includes a second motor 14 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3 and two groups of first blocks 16 fixedly mounted on the second mounting plate 17 symmetrically in the front and rear directions. A first cam 15 is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the second motor 14. The first cam 15 is installed between the two groups of first blocks 16, so that the first cam 15 can alternately push the two groups of first blocks 16 when it rotates. The first cam 15 is driven to rotate by the second motor 14, so that the first cam 15 alternately pushes the two groups of first blocks 16, thereby enabling the second mounting plate 17 to achieve reciprocating movement in the front and rear directions.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the left and right shaking drive mechanism includes a third motor 25 fixedly mounted on the second mounting plate 17 and two groups of second blocks 23 fixedly mounted on the third mounting plate 19 symmetrically on the left and right. A second cam 24 is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the third motor 25. The second cam 24 is installed between the two groups of second blocks 23, so that the second cam 24 can alternately push the two groups of second blocks 23 when it rotates. The second cam 24 is driven to rotate by the third motor 25, so that the second cam 24 alternately pushes the two groups of second blocks 23, thereby enabling the third mounting plate 19 to achieve reciprocating movement in the left and right directions.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the second stop block 23 is installed in the slide groove 22 provided on the second mounting plate 17, and the avoidance groove 21 is provided on the first mounting plate 6 corresponding to the installation position of the second stop block 23, so that the second stop block 23 can be well guided for left and right movement, while preventing the second stop block 23 from interfering with the first mounting plate 6 when moving.

[0032] like Figure 5As shown, the net cage clamping mechanism includes a fourth motor 26 fixedly mounted on the third mounting plate 19 through a motor bracket and a rod frame 27 fixedly mounted inside a guide mounting groove provided on the lower end surface of the third mounting plate 19, a bidirectional screw 28 is mounted on the rod frame 27 through a bearing, the bidirectional screw 28 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the fourth motor 26, two groups of left-right symmetrical screw sleeves 29 are movably mounted on the bidirectional screw 28, two groups of the screw sleeves 29 are respectively fixedly mounted on the two groups of sliding rods 30, the sliding rods 30 are slidably mounted in the guide mounting groove provided on the lower end surface of the third mounting plate 19, a lifting block 31 is provided at the lower end of the two groups of the sliding rods 30, and a transfer motor 32 is fixedly mounted in the hollow inside the two groups of the lifting blocks 31. The power output shaft of the indexing motor 32 is fixedly installed with a indexing disk 33, and two groups of hooks 34 are fixedly installed on the indexing disk 33. The two groups of hooks 34 are installed symmetrically on the left and right. Under the drive of the fourth motor 26, the bidirectional screw 28 rotates and drives the two groups of screw sleeves 29 and the slide rod 30 to approach or move away from each other, thereby realizing the two groups of hooks 34 to approach or move away from each other. After the two ends of the breeding net cage are hung on the two groups of hooks 34, the two groups of hooks 34 move away from each other to tension the breeding net cage. At the same time, the hooks 34 and the indexing disk 33, driven by the indexing motor 32, can drive the breeding net cage to perform circumferential reciprocating indexing motion. When the breeding net cage needs to be disassembled, the two groups of hooks 34 approach each other and the breeding net cage is removed from the two groups of hooks 34.

[0033] When the present invention is in use, first, the two ends of the breeding net cage are hung on the two groups of hooks 34, and the two groups of hooks 34 are separated from each other to tension the breeding net cage, and then the breeding net cage suture line is pulled out to make the side wall of the breeding net cage open. At the same time, the hooks 34 and the indexing plate 33 can drive the breeding net cage to perform circumferential reciprocating indexing motion under the drive of the indexing motor 32, and then the net cage clamping mechanism is driven to shake in the up and down, front and back, left and right directions, thereby driving the breeding net cage to shake in the up and down, front and back, left and right directions. As a result, the breeding net cage can generate multi-directional shaking in the tensioned state, such as up and down, front and back, left and right, and can perform circumferential reciprocating indexing, so that the breeding products in the breeding net cage are shaken onto the breeding product conveying device for transmission, and finally transported to the breeding product collecting device for collection, so that the shaking and taking out process of the breeding products is time-saving and labor-saving, and at the same time, the convenience of collecting the breeding products out of the cage is improved, and the work efficiency of the overall process of breeding products out of the cage is improved.
