Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a deep-sea aquaculture cage, and more particularly to a reinforced deep-sea aquaculture cage. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea aquaculture cages mainly consist of a frame system, netting, a fixing system, and supporting facilities. They utilize the interaction of the fixed platforms and the inherent characteristics of the cages themselves to lower them to a predetermined underwater depth. Deep-sea aquaculture cages offer advantages such as high flexibility, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, large effective aquaculture volume, high efficiency, low overall cost, low pollution, excellent water quality, and low fish mortality.

[0003] Traditional deep-sea aquaculture cages typically have poor resistance to wind and waves, limiting their installation to inland bays with smooth water flow and relatively calm seas. The corner joints of rectangular cages, in particular, are prone to breakage under the impact of waves, leading to the cages being washed away. Furthermore, the tow ropes are susceptible to tangling or breaking during wave action, causing the cages to be swept away. Therefore, there is an urgent need to research and develop a reinforced deep-sea aquaculture cage that enhances its resistance to wind and waves while reducing the occurrence of tangling or breakage of the tow ropes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of deep-sea aquaculture cages, which are generally poor in their ability to withstand wind and waves, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a reinforced deep-sea aquaculture cage that can enhance its ability to withstand wind and waves and reduce the occurrence of tangling or breakage of the traction rope.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a reinforced deep-sea aquaculture cage, comprising a support combination pipe, an L-shaped connecting frame, connecting springs, a hollow floating block, a stepping pedal, an aquaculture component, and a reinforced support component. Four L-shaped connecting frames are slidably connected between the four support combination pipes. Two connecting springs are connected between the support combination pipes and the L-shaped connecting frames. A hollow floating block is fixedly connected to the support combination pipe. A stepping pedal is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow floating block. An aquaculture component is provided on the hollow floating block. The reinforced support component is provided on the aquaculture component and connected to the L-shaped connecting frame.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aquaculture component includes limiting rods, a fixed support plate, an aquaculture net frame, and an elastic rectangular frame. Five limiting rods are fixedly connected to the top of the hollow floating block, and a fixed support plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the five limiting rods. The aquaculture net frame is slidably connected to the limiting rods. The fixing rope of the aquaculture net frame is located above the fixed support plate, and an elastic rectangular frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the aquaculture net frame.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement support assembly includes suspension ropes, weights, traction ropes, and wedge-shaped anchor blocks. Eight suspension ropes are fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic rectangular frame, and weights are fixedly connected to the bottom of the suspension ropes. A traction rope is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting frame. The traction rope is located outside the aquaculture net frame, and a wedge-shaped anchor block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the traction rope.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a buffer reinforcement component, which is disposed on an L-shaped connecting frame and connected to a support assembly tube. The buffer reinforcement component includes a reinforcement sleeve, a fixing ring, and a buffer rubber ring. The reinforcement sleeve is symmetrically fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting frame. The two ends of the support assembly tube are fixedly connected to fixing rings, which are located inside the reinforcement sleeve. The two ends of the fixing ring are fixedly connected to buffer rubber rings, which will contact the reinforcement sleeve.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a lifting and buffering assembly, which is disposed on the hollow floating block. The lifting and buffering assembly includes a perforated slide rail plate, a swing push plate, a torsion spring, a spur gear, a sliding push frame, and a rack. The perforated slide rail plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow floating block. The swing push plate is rotatably connected to the lower part of the perforated slide rail plate. A torsion spring is connected between the perforated slide rail plate and the swing push plate. A spur gear is fixedly connected to one end of the swing push plate near the perforated slide rail plate. A sliding push frame is slidably connected to the lower part of the perforated slide rail plate. The sliding push frame contacts the reinforcing sleeve frame. A rack is fixedly connected to the lower side of the sliding push frame, and the rack meshes with the spur gear.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes an elastic support frame one and an elastic support frame two. The upper parts of the four traction ropes are jointly fixedly connected to the elastic support frame one, and the upper parts of the four traction ropes are jointly fixedly connected to the elastic support frame two. The elastic support frame two is located above the elastic support frame one and below the aquaculture net frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a support push block and a buffer spring. The support push block is slidably connected to one side of the hollow floating block. The support push block will contact another hollow floating block. Two buffer springs are connected between the support push block and the hollow floating block.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This invention, through the movement of the reinforced sleeve frame and contact with the buffer rubber ring, reduces the impact force of the waves when the supporting composite pipe and the L-shaped connecting frame collide due to the impact of the waves. This further reduces the impact force of the waves on the supporting composite pipe and the L-shaped connecting frame, making the supporting composite pipe and the L-shaped connecting frame less prone to breakage and enhancing the wind and wave resistance.

[0014] 2. This invention uses four swinging push plates to rotate and lift the hollow floating block with the waves, thereby lifting the aquaculture net frame. This guides the horizontal waves, allowing the aquaculture net frame to rise with the waves and enhancing its ability to resist the impact of lateral waves.

[0015] 3. In this invention, the hollow floating blocks move and compress the support push blocks connected to other hollow floating blocks, compressing the buffer springs. At the same time, under the elastic force of the buffer springs, the buffer springs play a buffering role on the hollow floating blocks and the support push blocks, and also buffer the collision between the hollow floating blocks, further reducing the impact force of the waves.

[0016] 4. The present invention uses elastic support frame one and elastic support frame two to pull the four suspension ropes, thereby reducing the chance of contact between the four suspension ropes and reducing the pulling force of the L-shaped connecting frame on the suspension ropes, thus avoiding the occurrence of entanglement or breakage of the four suspension ropes when rotating.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] A reinforced deep-sea aquaculture cage, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the assembly includes a support tube assembly 1, an L-shaped connecting frame 21, connecting springs 22, hollow floating blocks 23, a foot pedal 24, an aquaculture component 3, and a reinforcing support component 4. Four L-shaped connecting frames 21 are slidably connected between the four support tube 1s. Two connecting springs 22 are connected between the support tube 1s and the L-shaped connecting frames 21 via hooks. The connecting springs 22 provide a buffering effect between the support tube 1s and the L-shaped connecting frames 21. Hollow floating blocks 23 are bolted to the support tube 1s. Block 23 floats on the sea surface under the action of buoyancy. The top of the hollow floating block 23 is connected to a foot pedal 24 by rivets, which facilitates the movement of staff. The hollow floating block 23 is equipped with an aquaculture component 3, which is used to raise fish fry. The aquaculture component 3 is equipped with a reinforcing support component 4 and is connected to an L-shaped connecting frame 21. The reinforcing support component 4 is used to limit the L-shaped connecting frame 21 and reduce the impact of waves on the L-shaped connecting frame 21, thereby reducing the impact of waves on the hollow floating block 23.

[0030] The aquaculture component 3 includes limiting rods 31, a fixed support plate 32, an aquaculture net frame 33, and an elastic rectangular frame 34. Five limiting rods 31 are welded to the top of the hollow floating block 23, and the fixed support plate 32 is welded to the middle of the five limiting rods 31. The aquaculture net frame 33 is slidably connected to the limiting rods 31, and the limiting rods 31 have a limiting effect on the aquaculture net frame 33. The aquaculture net frame 33 is used to raise fish fry. The fixing rope of the aquaculture net frame 33 is located above the fixed support plate 32. The elastic rectangular frame 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the aquaculture net frame 33, and the elastic rectangular frame 34 will extend the aquaculture net frame 33.

[0031] The reinforcing support assembly 4 includes suspension ropes 41, weights 42, traction ropes 43, and wedge-shaped anchor blocks 44. Eight suspension ropes 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic rectangular frame 34, and weights 42 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each suspension rope 41. The weights 42 pull the elastic rectangular frame 34 through the suspension ropes 41. A traction rope 43 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting frame 21. The traction rope 43 is located outside the aquaculture net frame 33, and a wedge-shaped anchor block 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the traction rope 43. The wedge-shaped anchor block 44 limits the L-shaped connecting frame 21 through the traction rope 43.

[0032] In actual operation, the staff attaches the fixing rope of the aquaculture net frame 33 to the limiting rod 31. The fixing rope of the aquaculture net frame 33 is located above the fixed support plate 32. Then, the aquaculture net frame 33 is placed in the deep sea. Under the action of buoyancy, the hollow floating block 23 will float on the sea surface. The hollow floating block 23 will also drive the support assembly pipe 1, L-shaped connecting frame 21, connecting spring 22 and step pedal 24 to float on the sea surface. The weight 42 will move downward under the action of gravity and fall to the seabed. At the same time, the downward movement of the weight 42 will drive the suspension rope 41 to move downward. The downward movement of the suspension rope 41 will drive the elastic rectangular frame 34 to move downward. The downward movement of the elastic rectangular frame 34 extends the aquaculture net frame 33, allowing workers to stand on the foot pedal 24 and pour fish fry into the net frame 33. The wedge-shaped anchor block 44 moves downward under gravity, which in turn moves the traction rope 43 downward. Since the length of the traction rope 43 is the same as the depth of the deep sea, the wedge-shaped anchor block 44 falls to the seabed, limiting the L-shaped connecting frame 21 and reducing the impact of waves on it. This, in turn, reduces the impact of waves on the hollow floating block 23, thus achieving the function of limiting the aquaculture net frame 33 and keeping it within the set aquaculture range.

[0033] If waves impact the hollow floating block 23, the movement of the hollow floating block 23 will cause the support assembly tube 1 to move, the connecting spring 22 to be stretched or compressed, and the L-shaped connecting frame 21 to reciprocate within the support assembly tube 1. Under the elastic force of the connecting spring 22, the connecting spring 22 has a buffering effect on the support assembly tube 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21, reducing the possibility of breakage of the support assembly tube 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, it also includes a buffer reinforcement component 5, which is mounted on the L-shaped connecting frame 21 and connected to the support assembly tube 1. The buffer reinforcement component 5 is used to further reduce the impact of waves on the support assembly tube 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21, making the support assembly tube 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21 less prone to breakage and enhancing their resistance to wind and waves. The buffer reinforcement component 5 includes a reinforcement frame 51, a fixing ring 52, and a buffer rubber ring 53. The reinforcement frame 51 is symmetrically welded on the L-shaped connecting frame 21. The fixing rings 52 are welded to both ends of the support assembly tube 1. The fixing rings 52 are located inside the reinforcement frame 51. The buffer rubber rings 53 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing rings 52. The buffer rubber rings 53 have a buffering effect on the reinforcement frame 51 and will contact the reinforcement frame 51.

[0036] When impacted by waves, the movement of the support assembly pipe 1 causes the fixed ring 52 to move, which in turn causes the buffer rubber ring 53 to move. The movement of the L-shaped connecting frame 21 causes the reinforcing sleeve 51 to move, and the reinforcing sleeve 51 comes into contact with the buffer rubber ring 53. When the support assembly pipe 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21 collide due to the impact of waves, the buffer rubber ring 53 will reduce the impact force of the waves, thereby further reducing the impact force of the waves on the support assembly pipe 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21. This makes the support assembly pipe 1 and the L-shaped connecting frame 21 less prone to breakage and enhances their resistance to wind and waves.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-9As shown, it also includes a lifting and buffering assembly 6, which is mounted on the hollow floating block 23. The lifting and buffering assembly 6 guides horizontal waves, causing the aquaculture net frame 33 to rise with the waves, thus enhancing its ability to resist the impact of lateral waves. The lifting and buffering assembly 6 includes a perforated slide rail plate 61, a swing push plate 62, a torsion spring 63, a spur gear 64, a sliding push frame 65, and a rack and pinion 66. The bottom of the hollow floating block 23 is bolted to the perforated slide rail plate 61. A swing push plate 62 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the plate 61. The swing push plate 62 guides horizontal waves. A torsion spring 63 is connected between the perforated slide rail plate 61 and the swing push plate 62 via a hook. A spur gear 64 is installed on one end of the swing push plate 62 near the perforated slide rail plate 61 via a flat key. A sliding push frame 65 is slidably connected to the lower part of the perforated slide rail plate 61. The sliding push frame 65 contacts the reinforcing sleeve frame 51. A spur rack 66 is welded to the lower side of the sliding push frame 65. The spur rack 66 meshes with the spur gear 64.

[0039] When impacted by waves, the reinforcing frame 51 moves and comes into contact with the sliding pusher 65. The continued movement of the reinforcing frame 51 drives the sliding pusher 65 to move, which in turn drives the rack 66 to move. The rack 66 then drives the spur gear 64 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the spur gear 64 drives the swing pusher 62 to rotate, and the torsion spring 63 is twisted. After the four swing pushers 62 rotate, the hollow floating block 23 rises with the waves, thereby raising the aquaculture net frame 33. This guides the horizontal waves, allowing the aquaculture net frame 33 to rise with the waves, thus enhancing its ability to resist the impact of lateral waves.

[0040] Example 4

[0041] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an elastic support frame 1 71 and an elastic support frame 2 72. The upper parts of the four traction ropes 43 are jointly fixedly connected to the elastic support frame 1 71, and the upper parts of the four traction ropes 43 are jointly fixedly connected to the elastic support frame 2 72. The elastic support frame 2 72 is located above the elastic support frame 1 71. The elastic support frame 2 72 and the elastic support frame 1 71 are used to reduce the contact opportunities between the four suspension ropes 41, thereby reducing the occurrence of entanglement of the four suspension ropes 41 when rotating. The elastic support frame 2 72 is located below the aquaculture net frame 33.

[0042] When the suspension rope 41 moves downward, it will cause the elastic support frame 1 71 and the elastic support frame 2 72 to move downward. When the impact force of the waves is strong, the support assembly pipe 1, the L-shaped connecting frame 21 and the hollow floating block 23 may deflect. In order to reduce the occurrence of entanglement or breakage of the four suspension ropes 41 when they deflect, the rotation of the L-shaped connecting frame 21 will drive the suspension ropes 41 to rotate. The rotation of the four suspension ropes 41 will drive the elastic support frame 1 71 and the elastic support frame 2 72 to rotate. The elastic support frame 1 71 and the elastic support frame 2 72 will pull the four suspension ropes 41, thereby reducing the contact opportunity between the four suspension ropes 41 and reducing the pulling force of the L-shaped connecting frame 21 on the suspension ropes 41, thus reducing the occurrence of entanglement or breakage of the four suspension ropes 41 when they rotate.

[0043] Example 5

[0044] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, it also includes a support push block 81 and a buffer spring 82. The support push block 81 is slidably connected to one side of the hollow floating block 23. The support push block 81 will contact another hollow floating block 23. Two buffer springs 82 are connected between the support push block 81 and the hollow floating block 23. The buffer springs 82 have a buffering effect on the support push block 81 and the hollow floating block 23.

[0045] When the impact force of the waves is strong, the hollow floating blocks 23 will collide with each other. The movement of the hollow floating blocks 23 will drive the support push block 81 and the buffer spring 82 to move. The movement of the hollow floating blocks 23 will squeeze the support push block 81 connected to other hollow floating blocks 23. The buffer spring 82 is compressed. At the same time, under the elastic force of the buffer spring 82, the contact opportunity between the four suspension ropes 41 is reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of entanglement of the four suspension ropes 41 when rotating. This plays a buffering role on the hollow floating blocks 23 and the support push block 81, thereby buffering the collision between the hollow floating blocks 23 and further reducing the impact force of the waves.
