Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular to a cage aquaculture platform. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, aquaculture cages can be placed directly in rivers or oceans and are not restricted by any aquaculture conditions. Therefore, they are widely used.

[0003] The aquaculture cages in the prior art are disclosed in the patent document with the announcement number CN101617637B as "a seawater aquaculture cage". In this technical solution, a cage made of metal wire mesh is placed in seawater to achieve aquaculture.

[0004] However, existing aquaculture cage equipment also usually has the following disadvantages. For example, the overall structural design takes up a large space, which does not cause inconvenience in the specific aquaculture process, but is very troublesome in transportation and transfer, and cannot be easily adjusted and transferred.

[0005] In addition, in the existing cage technology, most technical solutions are designed to facilitate breeding, but the subsequent work such as collecting fish after breeding is not very convenient.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a cage culture platform with a reasonable structure and convenient fish collection. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a cage culture platform that can realize the contraction and expansion of the overall structure. At the same time, the fish storage tanks and fish holes are provided to facilitate subsequent fish collection and fishing.

[0008] The present invention achieves the above technical objectives through the following technical means.

[0009] A cage aquaculture platform comprises a central column, a lower floating rod and an upper floating rod; a counterweight carrier is installed at the bottom of the central column; a hinge seat is provided at the lower end of the central column; a lower floating rod is hingedly connected to the hinge seat, wherein there are several lower floating rods and they are evenly distributed, and a lower net body is provided on the lower floating rod; an annular platform is provided at the upper end of the central column; an upper floating rod is hingedly connected to the annular platform, wherein there are several upper floating rods and they are evenly distributed, and an upper net body is provided on the upper floating rod; the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are connected to a lateral net body; the net body, the lower net body and the lateral net bodies constitute an integral cage.

[0010] In the above scheme, one end of the retractable rope is provided on the lower floating rod, and the other end of the retractable rope is installed on the lower driving mechanism after passing through the pulley group; the lower driving mechanism drives the retractable rope to flip the lower floating rod upward and retract it; the lower driving mechanism is set on the annular platform.

[0011] In the above scheme, one end of the retractable rope is provided on the floating rod, and the other end of the retractable rope is installed on the upper driving mechanism after passing through the pulley group; when the upper driving mechanism works, the retractable rope lifts the floating rod so that the floating rod is flush with the annular platform; when the upper driving mechanism is not working, the floating rod is flipped downward and retracted; the upper driving mechanism is set on the annular platform.

[0012] In the above solution, when the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are retracted, the lower floating rod is located inside the upper floating rod, and both the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are parallel to the central column.

[0013] In the above solution, the central column is provided with a fish storage tank along the axial direction, and a fish passing hole is provided on the central column near the hinge seat. The fish passing hole is communicated with the fish storage tank and is higher than the hinge seat.

[0014] In the above solution, a fish pump is further installed on the annular platform, and a fish pumping pipe is installed on the fish pump. The fish pumping pipe extends from the upper end of the fish storage tank to the fish hole.

[0015] In the above solution, the end portion of the fish extracting tube placed in the fish storage tank is a tapered structure.

[0016] In the above scheme, there are four upper floating rods and four lower floating rods; and the installation positions of the four upper floating rods are different from the installation positions of the four lower floating rods. The upper floating rods and the lower floating rods are staggered, so that the upper drive mechanism and the lower drive mechanism are staggered and evenly spaced on the annular platform.

[0017] In the above solution, when not folded, the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are both distributed laterally.

[0018] In the above solution, the lower driving mechanism and the upper driving mechanism are both winches.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1) The overall aquaculture cage of the present invention can be retracted and expanded. The overall structure is based on the central column. The lower end is hingedly mounted on the central column with a lower floating rod, and the upper end is hingedly mounted on the upper floating rod through an annular platform. The lower net body is installed between the lower floating rods, and the upper net body is installed between the upper floating rods. Lateral net bodies are provided on the sides to form an overall cage. The lower floating rod can be flipped upward, and the upper floating rod can be flipped downward, so that the overall cage can be retracted to be parallel to the central column. The volume and occupied space of the overall cage become very small, so subsequent movement and transportation are very convenient.

[0021] 2) In order to facilitate the installation of various hoisting mechanisms, an annular platform is designed at the upper end of the central column in the present invention, and the raising and lowering of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are achieved by the designed driving mechanism. The driving mechanism can be designed as a hoist or other equipment. The upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are both installed on the annular platform, and the positions are corresponding to the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod. The positions of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are different, mainly to facilitate the position setting of the driving mechanism. The position adjustment of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod can be realized very conveniently through the driving mechanism, and the structure is reasonable and easy to use.

[0022] 3) The present invention also provides a fish storage tank inside the central column. When the fish need to be collected and caught after breeding, the lower floating rod is lifted as a whole by the lower driving mechanism, and the lateral net body and the lower net body are lifted upward accordingly, thereby driving the fish to pass through the fish hole and swim into the fish storage tank. Finally, all the fish are gathered in the fish storage tank. The present invention also installs a fish pump on the annular platform and provides a fish extraction pipe to be introduced into the bottom of the fish extraction pump. Since the fish gather in the fish storage tank, all the fish can be directly extracted by the fish extraction pump, which not only realizes the opening and contraction of the entire net cage, but also realizes the extraction of fish, and the fish collecting process is very convenient.

[0023] 4) The fish collecting side of the fish extracting tube in the present invention is a tapered structure, which facilitates the collection of fish. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] A cage aquaculture platform comprises a central column 1, a lower floating rod 4 and an upper floating rod 7; a counterweight carrier 2 is installed at the bottom of the central column 1; a hinge seat 3 is provided at the lower end of the central column 1; a lower floating rod 4 is hinged on the hinge seat 3, wherein there are several lower floating rods 4 and they are evenly distributed, and a lower net body 5 is provided on the lower floating rod 4; an annular platform 6 is provided at the upper end of the central column 1; an upper floating rod 7 is hinged on the annular platform 6, wherein there are several upper floating rods 7 and they are evenly distributed, and an upper net body 8 is provided on the upper floating rod 7; the upper floating rod 7 and the lower floating rod 7 are connected to a lateral net body 9; the net body 8, the lower net body 5 and the lateral net body 9 constitute an integral cage.

[0035] In the above scheme, one end of the retractable rope 12 is provided on the lower floating rod 4, and the other end of the retractable rope 12 is installed on the lower driving mechanism 10 after passing through the pulley group 11; the lower driving mechanism 10 drives the retractable rope 12 to flip the lower floating rod 4 upward and retract it; the lower driving mechanism 10 is set on the annular platform 6.

[0036] In the above scheme, one end of the retractable rope 12 is provided on the floating rod 4, and the other end of the retractable rope 12 is installed on the upper driving mechanism 13 after passing through the pulley group 11; the upper driving mechanism 13 works to make the retractable rope 12 lift the floating rod 7 so that the floating rod 7 is flush with the annular platform 6; when the upper driving mechanism 13 is not working, the floating rod 7 is flipped downward and retracted; the upper driving mechanism 13 is set on the annular platform 6.

[0037] In the above solution, when the upper floating rod 7 and the lower floating rod 4 are retracted, the lower floating rod 4 is located inside the upper floating rod 7 , and both the upper floating rod 7 and the lower floating rod 4 are parallel to the central column 1 .

[0038] In the above solution, the central column 1 is provided with a fish storage tank 14 along the axial direction, and a fish hole 15 is provided on the central column 1 near the hinge seat 3. The fish hole 15 is communicated with the fish storage tank 14 and is higher than the hinge seat 3.

[0039] In the above solution, a fish pump 16 is further installed on the annular platform 6 , and a fish pumping pipe 17 is installed on the fish pump 16 . The fish pumping pipe 17 extends from the upper end of the fish storage tank 14 to the fish hole 15 .

[0040] In the above solution, the end portion of the fish extracting tube 17 placed in the fish storage tank 14 is a tapered structure.

[0041] In the above scheme, there are four upper floating rods 7 and four lower floating rods 4; and the installation positions of the four upper floating rods 7 are different from the installation positions of the four lower floating rods 4. The upper floating rods 7 and the lower floating rods 4 are staggered, so that the upper driving mechanism 13 and the lower driving mechanism 10 are staggered and evenly spaced on the annular platform 6.

[0042] In the above solution, when not folded, the upper floating rod 7 and the lower floating rod 4 are both distributed laterally.

[0043] In the above solution, the lower driving mechanism 10 and the upper driving mechanism 13 are both winches.

[0044] Combined with attachment Figure 1As shown, a cage aquaculture platform includes a central column 1, which is configured as a floating vertical float structure. A counterweight carrier 2 is correspondingly installed at the bottom of the central column 1. Under the action of the counterweight carrier 2, the central column 1 floats vertically on the water surface; the lower end of the central column 1 is also correspondingly installed with a lower float rod 4 through a hinged seat 3. The lower float rod 4 is arranged horizontally and is evenly spaced in a divergent manner around the central column 1. A lower net body 5 is also arranged between adjacent lower float rods 4, and the lower float rod 4 can be flipped upward, thereby driving the lower net body 5 to flip upward.

[0045] A ring-shaped platform 6 is also provided at the upper end of the central column 1, and a floating rod 7 is also installed at the edge of the ring-shaped platform 6 through a hinged seat 3; the floating rod 7 is arranged horizontally, and is also arranged at even intervals in a divergent manner around the central column 1, and a net body 8 is provided between adjacent floating rods 7. The floating rod 7 can be flipped downward, thereby driving the net body 8 to flip downward.

[0046] In addition, the upper floating rod 7 and the lower floating rod 4 are provided with lateral net bodies 9 at the edges of the rod bodies, and the upper net body 8, the lower net body 5 and the lateral net body 9 constitute an overall net box.

[0047] The overall aquaculture cage of the present invention can be retracted and expanded. The overall structure is based on the central column. The lower end is hingedly installed with a lower floating rod on the central column, and the upper end is hingedly installed with an upper floating rod through an annular platform. The lower net body is installed between the lower floating rods, and the upper net body is installed between the upper floating rods. Lateral net bodies are provided on the sides to constitute an overall cage. The lower floating rod can be flipped upward and the upper floating rod can be flipped downward, so that the overall cage can be contracted to be parallel to the central column. The volume of the overall cage and the occupied space become very small, so subsequent movement and transportation are very convenient.

[0048] A lower driving mechanism 10 corresponding to the position of the lower floating rod 4 below is also installed on the annular platform 6, and a corresponding pulley set 11 is also installed on the annular platform 6. A retractable rope 12 is installed on the lower driving mechanism 10, and the retractable rope 12 is fixed to the outer end of the lower floating rod 4 through the pulley set 11. The lower floating rod 4 can be flipped upward and retracted through the lower driving mechanism 10, so that the lower floating rod 4 is placed parallel to the center column 1.

[0049] The annular platform 6 is also equipped with an upper driving mechanism 13 corresponding to the position of the upper floating rod 7. The upper driving mechanism 13 is connected to the outer end of the upper floating rod 7 through a pulley set 11. The upper floating rod 7 can be lifted as a whole and flush with the annular platform 6 through the upper driving mechanism 13. After the upper floating rod 7 loses the restriction of the upper driving mechanism 13, it flips downward and is parallel to the central column 1. When the floating rod is retracted, the lower floating rod 4 is located on the inside and the upper floating rod 7 is located on the outside.

[0050] There are four upper floating rods 7 and four lower floating rods 4; and the installation positions of the four upper floating rods 7 are different from the installation positions of the four lower floating rods 4. The upper floating rods 7 and the lower floating rods 4 are staggered, so that the upper drive mechanism 13 and the lower drive mechanism 10 are staggered and evenly spaced on the annular platform 6.

[0051] In order to facilitate the setting of various hoisting mechanisms, an annular platform is designed at the upper end of the central column in the present invention, and the rising and falling of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are achieved through the designed driving mechanism. The driving mechanism can be designed as a winch and other equipment. The upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are both installed on the annular platform, and their positions correspond to the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod. The positions of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod are different, mainly to facilitate the position setting of the driving mechanism. The position adjustment of the upper floating rod and the lower floating rod can be achieved very conveniently through the driving mechanism. The structure is reasonable and easy to use.

[0052] A fish storage tank 14 is provided inside the central column 1. The fish storage tank 14 extends downward from the upper end of the central column 1 to the installation position of the lower float rod 4. A fish hole 15 is also provided at the bottom of the fish storage tank 14. The fish hole 15 is located above the lower float rod 4.

[0053] A fish pump 16 is also installed on the annular platform 6, and a fish pumping pipe 17 is installed on the fish pump 16. The fish pumping pipe 17 extends from the upper end of the fish storage tank 14 into the fish hole 15 extending to the lower end of the fish storage tank 14.

[0054] The present invention also provides a fish storage tank inside the central column. When the fish need to be collected and caught after breeding, the lower floating rod is lifted as a whole by the lower driving mechanism, and the lateral net body and the lower net body are lifted upward accordingly, thereby driving the fish to pass through the fish holes and swim into the fish storage tank. Eventually, all the fish gather in the fish storage tank. The present invention also installs a fish pump on the annular platform and provides a fish extraction pipe to be introduced into the bottom of the fish extraction pump. Since the fish gather in the fish storage tank, all the fish can be directly extracted by the fish extraction pump, which not only realizes the opening and contraction of the entire net cage, but also realizes the extraction of fish, and the fish collecting process is very convenient.
