[0024] The second purpose of the present application is achieved by using the following technical scheme: a modular deep-sea aquaculture system installed by the installation method of the modular deep-sea aquaculture system.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0026] 1、The present application designs one or more assembly parts such as a leg, a net cage body, and a ring-shaped mounting unit as modular and standardized assembly parts. In the entire assembly process, the modular components can be sequentially assembled according to their functions. The assembly steps are simple and not complicated. The assembly parts of the entire assembly process of the breeding net cage have a high degree of generalization. The modular and standardized production of the breeding net cage is achieved. The modular installation efficiency is high, and the installation, transportation, and operation costs are low.
[0027] 2、In assembling the sheet-shaped face module, a plurality of beam pipe bodies and diagonal brace pipe bodies are designed. The two are assembled into a face module in a detachable manner. The standardization degree of each pipe part is high. Each face module can be independently assembled, maintained, and repaired. The construction time is short. The difficulty of integral assembly and maintenance of the existing technology of the integrally welded net cage is reduced. At the same time, maintenance and expansion are simple, and the service life of the breeding net cage is prolonged. The connection between the upper and lower beams and the diagonal braces in each sheet-shaped face module is fixed and installed by using a latch, thereby accelerating the construction speed of the breeding net cage, reducing the human construction error, and also reducing the labor cost.
[0028] 3、In assembling the net cage body, top diagonal braces, bottom diagonal braces, and cross pipes are added to further improve the connection convenience and firmness between the sheet-shaped face modules and the sheet-shaped face modules, and to improve the strength of the breeding net cage. In addition, the standardization degree of the above-mentioned pipe parts is high, the construction time is short, and the maintenance difficulty is reduced.
[0029] 4、The modular and standardized production method is more helpful to promote the industrialization and large-scale development of deep-sea breeding net cages. In order to solve the technical problem of limited installation space of the single module with small volume after modular and standardized production, the installation position of the gear and rack lifting unit is improved. Specifically, the inner and outer ring parts of the ring-shaped mounting unit are designed to meet the needs of maintaining the transmission stability of the meshing transmission space of the climbing gear and the installation space needs of the modular net cage, and to ensure the smoothness and stability of the rack and pinion lifting unit in the entire breeding cycle.
[0030] 5、In the modular installation process, the pile leg is designed as a modular pile leg unit, the pile leg units are convenient to disassemble and assemble, the transportation volume is reduced, the transportation cost is reduced, when the pile leg needs to be replaced or repaired, a large amount of welding and cutting work is not needed, the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved, and the maintenance cost is reduced. The height of the required pile leg can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working condition. The technical scheme has the advantages of improving the flexibility and convenience of the self-elevating net cage. In addition, the mutual connection of the teeth of the two pile leg units is realized, and the up-down lifting function of the net cage body is ensured. When the two pile leg units are installed or assembled, the two markers are adjusted to be located on the same side of the pipe body and to be located at the same axis position. At this time, the limiting through holes on the two annular mounting plates are aligned with each other. Finally, the two pile leg units are locked and fixed by locking bolts and other fastening connecting pieces. In addition, the marker is preferably designed as an open shape, which has the advantage that when the pile leg is installed into the mud, the open design of the marker is beneficial to improve the water tightness, reduce the impact force of the water body on the pile leg, and improve the installation efficiency and safety.
[0031] 6、The application is characterized in that a connecting member is designed on the annular mounting unit. When the breeding net cage needs to be spliced and fixed, the net cage bodies of the adjacent two breeding net cages are locked, so that the net cages can rely on and connect with each other in the sea area, and the installation stability of the net cages under the sea is improved. When the breeding net cage needs to be lifted, the connecting member such as the pin is disassembled, the fixed connection between the breeding net cages is unlocked, and the lifting function of the breeding net cage is realized. The net cage of this mode can continuously expand the length of the net cage in the transverse direction, and realizes rapid modular expansion breeding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0055] Hereinafter, the present application will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, and it should be noted that the following described embodiments or technical features can be combined in any manner to form new embodiments without conflict.
[0056] Example 1 Installation of a "mouth"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture system and its aquaculture system
[0057] A method for installing a "mouth"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture system, as shown in Figures 1-5 The "mouth"-shaped modular aquaculture system 100 includes four pile legs 1, a "mouth"-shaped net cage body 2, and four sets of rack and pinion lifting units 3. Each pile leg is configured with a set of rack and pinion lifting units, and each set of rack and pinion lifting units is composed of two lifting devices. The entire net cage body is driven to move up and down along the pile legs and maintained at an appropriate height by the four sets of rack and pinion lifting units.
[0058] The specific installation method includes the following steps:
[0059] (1) Assembly of the "mouth"-shaped net cage body
[0060] The "mouth" shaped net cage body 2 is composed of four rectangular, same size sheet-shaped face modules 21 and eight ring-shaped mounting units 22; each ring-shaped mounting unit 22 has an inner ring part 221 and an outer ring part 222; the inner ring part is used for mounting the pile leg 1 and the rack 11 on the pile leg 1; the outer ring part of the ring-shaped mounting unit of the present example is provided with a mounting assembly 223 for mounting two sheet-shaped face modules, and each sheet-shaped face module is detachably mounted on the mounting assembly through a bolt. First, one ring-shaped mounting unit is mounted at each of the four corner positions of one of the sheet-shaped face modules, and the specific sheet-shaped face module is connected to the outer ring part of the outer ring mounting node through a bolt, and the center positions of the inner ring parts of the two ring-shaped mounting units on the same side of the sheet-shaped face module are adjusted to be on the same vertical axis, and the sheet-shaped face module serves as the first sheet-shaped face module 21-1; the first sheet-shaped face module is hoisted to be perpendicular to the horizontal ground, and then the second sheet-shaped face module 21-2 is hoisted and adjusted in the horizontal and vertical positions, and one side of the first sheet-shaped face module is connected to the outer ring part of the ring-shaped mounting unit on the first sheet-shaped face module through a bolt, at this time, the first sheet-shaped face module and the second sheet-shaped face module are in a perpendicular state; then, ring-shaped mounting units are mounted at the remaining two corner positions of the second sheet-shaped face module, and the remaining third sheet-shaped face module 21-3 and the fourth sheet-shaped face module 21-4 are successively butted and mounted with the ring-shaped mounting units, until a cage space truss structure with a "mouth" shaped horizontal section is spliced.
[0061] As a further preferred scheme, in step (1), when the first sheet-shaped face module and the second sheet-shaped face module are in a perpendicular state, a top inclined strut 216 and a bottom inclined strut 217 are respectively passed through the top and bottom of the adjacent two sheet-shaped face modules to reinforce the connection, and the two ends of the top inclined strut and the bottom inclined strut are detachably connected to the adjacent two sheet-shaped face modules through a bolt or the like. The present application further improves the convenience and firmness of the connection between the sheet-shaped face modules and the sheet-shaped face modules by designing the top inclined strut, the bottom inclined strut and the like to be assembled into a top module or a bottom module in a detachable manner, thereby improving the strength of the aquaculture net cage. In addition, the above-mentioned pipe members have high standardization degree, short construction time and low maintenance difficulty.
[0062] As a further preferred scheme, in step (1), a cross pipe 218 is additionally provided at the bottom of the net cage body connected with the bottom inclined strut, and the ends of the cross pipe are detachably connected with the respective bottom inclined struts through a bolt or the like. The present application further improves the convenience and firmness of the installation of the bottom module by designing the cross pipe and the like to be assembled into a bottom module in a detachable manner, thereby improving the strength of the aquaculture net cage. In addition, the above-mentioned pipe members have high standardization degree, short construction time and low maintenance difficulty.
[0063] As a further preferred embodiment, each of the sheet-like modules 21 includes an upper crossbeam 211, a lower crossbeam 212, a long diagonal brace 213, a short diagonal brace 214, and a vertical pole 215. The assembly process of the sheet-like modules is as follows: the upper and lower crossbeams are placed parallel to each other on a horizontal ground, and the two ends of the long diagonal brace are connected to the upper and lower crossbeams respectively by pins. Then, the short diagonal brace is installed between the long diagonal brace, the upper crossbeam, and the lower crossbeam, so that several X-shaped diagonal brace components are connected between the upper and lower crossbeams. Finally, the vertical pole is welded and fixed to both sides of the sheet-like module.
[0064] This example demonstrates the design of multiple crossbeam tubes and diagonal bracing tubes, which are assembled into a single surface module using a detachable method. The standardization of each tube component is high, and each surface module can be assembled, maintained, and repaired independently. This reduces construction time and lowers the difficulty of overall assembly and maintenance required for integrally welded cages in existing technologies. It also simplifies maintenance and expansion, and extends the service life of aquaculture cages.
[0065] In this example, the upper and lower crossbeams, diagonal braces, and other pipe connections in each sheet-like module are fixed together using a pin-type method, thereby accelerating the construction speed of aquaculture cages, reducing manual construction errors, and lowering labor costs.
[0066] (2) Installation of the rack and pinion lifting unit
[0067] Four sets of rack and pinion lifting units are hoisted to the four corners of the top of the gabion body. Specifically, one set of rack and pinion lifting units is fixedly installed in each annular mounting unit at each of the four corners. Each set of rack and pinion lifting units includes two lifting devices. Each lifting device includes a lifting motor, a coupling, a gearbox, and a brake. The lifting motor is connected to the gearbox via the coupling, and the climbing gear is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft of the gearbox. The brake is installed on one side of the lifting motor for emergency stopping. When the lifting motor suddenly loses power, the brake is triggered to stop the motor, reducing the risk to the entire gabion body during lifting operations. The two lifting devices are respectively installed on both sides of the inner ring of the annular mounting unit. After the rack and pinion lifting units are installed, the climbing gears on the two lifting devices face the inner ring of the annular mounting unit, facilitating engagement with the racks on the subsequent installation of the pile legs.
[0068] With the modular and standardized production method more conducive to promote the industrialization and large-scale development of deep sea aquaculture net cage, in order to solve the technical problem of small volume of single module and limited installation space after modular and standardized production, the installation position of the gear and rack lifting unit is improved, specifically by designing the inner and outer ring parts of the annular mounting unit, which can meet the needs of maintaining the transmission stability of the meshing transmission space of the climbing gear, and also meet the needs of the installation space of the modular net cage, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the rack and pinion lifting unit during the entire aquaculture cycle.
[0069] (3) Installation of the pile leg
[0070] In the "mouth" shaped modular deep sea aquaculture net cage example, four pile legs are provided, and two racks corresponding to each pile leg are extended along the axial direction on the outer side of each pile leg. Each pile leg is hoisted to the annular mounting unit at the top of the "mouth" shaped net cage body, and is inserted into the inner ring part of the annular mounting unit from top to bottom, so that the racks on the pile leg and the climbing gear of the gear and rack lifting unit are meshed with each other, driving the climbing gear of the gear and rack lifting unit to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear and rack, the pile leg is driven to move downward until the pile leg is completely inserted into the inner ring part of the annular mounting unit located at the bottom of the net cage body, completing the installation of the pile leg.
[0071] As a further preferred scheme, in step (3), the pile leg is a modular pile leg, which includes three pile leg units; each pile leg unit is a hollow pipe body, and the racks are extended outward along the pipe diameter direction on both sides of the hollow pipe body; the connection between the two adjacent pile leg units is provided with an annular mounting plate, and each annular mounting plate is provided with a plurality of limiting through holes, and the limiting through holes are one-to-one corresponding;
[0072] When the first pile leg unit is completely inserted into the inner ring part of the annular mounting unit located at the bottom of the net cage body, the second pile leg unit is hoisted to move above the first pile leg unit, and the position of the pile leg unit is rotated and adjusted to make the limiting through holes between the two pile leg units completely aligned. The two pile leg units are pre-positioned by using fasteners, and when the racks on the two pile leg units are completely connected, the fasteners are completely tightened to lock the two pile leg units; when the third pile leg unit is installed, the installation process of the second pile leg unit is repeated to install the third pile leg unit.
[0073] The present application designs the pile leg as a modular pile leg unit, which is convenient to disassemble and assemble, reduces the transportation volume and transportation cost, and does not need to perform a large amount of welding and cutting work when the pile leg needs to be replaced or maintained, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency and reducing the maintenance cost. The height of the required pile leg can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working condition. The technical scheme has the advantages of improving the flexibility and convenience of the self-elevating net cage. In addition, the mutual engagement of the teeth of two pile leg units is realized, and the up-and-down lifting function of the net cage body is ensured.
[0074] As a further preferred scheme, a marker for positioning the direction of the rack so as to facilitate the mutual engagement of the adjacent two racks is arranged on each of the pile leg units, and the opening positions of the two markers are located on the same side wall of the pipe body and on the same axis. The marker is one of an opening, a through hole, a butt joint line, a groove, a protrusion, or a combination of two or more thereof.
[0075] When two pile leg units are installed or assembled, the opening positions of the two markers are adjusted to be located on the same side of the pipe body and on the same axis, and then the annular mounting plates at the connection positions of the two pile leg units are stacked on each other. At this time, the limiting through holes on the two annular mounting plates are aligned with each other. Finally, the two pile leg units are locked and fixed by fastening connectors such as locking bolts. In addition, the marker is preferably designed in the form of an opening, which has the advantage of improving the water tightness and reducing the impact force of water on the pile leg when the pile leg is installed in the mud, thereby improving the installation efficiency and safety.
[0076] Embodiment 2: Installation of a “three-mouth” modular deep-sea aquaculture system and its aquaculture system
[0077] A method for installing a “three-mouth” modular deep-sea aquaculture system, as shown in Figures 6-8 The “three-mouth” modular deep-sea aquaculture system 200 is assembled and expanded by three groups of the “mouth”-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture system 100 of embodiment 1. Each “mouth”-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture net cage includes four pile legs 1, a “mouth”-shaped net cage body 2, and four groups of gear and rack lifting units 3. The installation process of a single “mouth”-shaped aquaculture net cage is consistent with that of embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant textual records and related drawings of embodiment 1.
[0078] The installation method of the present example further includes step (4) splicing and expanding adjacent “mouth”-shaped aquaculture net cages
[0079] Specifically, the net bodies of two adjacent "mouth" shaped net cages are connected by connecting members 4, which are respectively installed on the outer ring parts of the annular mounting units of each net body. The connecting members can be realized by a detachable structure such as a latch. When the net cages need to be fixed to each other, the connecting members between the net bodies of adjacent net cages are locked, so that the net cages can rely on and connect with each other in the sea area, improving the installation stability of the net cages under the sea. When the net cages need to be lifted, the connecting members such as latches are disassembled to release the fixed connection between the net cages, realizing the lifting function of each net cage. The net cage of this mode can continuously expand the length of the net cage horizontally, realizing modular expansion of the culture.
[0080] Installation of the "day" shaped modular deep sea culture system and its culture system
[0081] As shown in Figures 9-10 , a method for installing a "day" shaped modular deep sea culture system 300, which includes six pile legs 1, a "day" shaped net body 2, and six gear and rack lifting units 3. The structures and installation methods of the pile legs 1 and the gear and rack lifting units 3 are consistent with those of embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant textual records and related drawings of embodiment 1.
[0082] The difference of this example is in step (1) the assembly of the "day" shaped net body
[0083] The "day" shaped net body is composed of seven rectangular, identical sheet face modules and twelve annular mounting units. The structures of the sheet face modules and the annular mounting units are basically the same as those of embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant textual records and related drawings of embodiment 1. The net body installation process of this example is different, as follows:
[0084] As shown in embodiment 1, first install the first sheet face module 21-1 and the second sheet face module 21-2 so that they are perpendicular to each other in plan view, and then install the third sheet face module 21-3, the fourth sheet face module 21-4, and the fifth sheet face module 21-5 in a similar manner to assemble an "E" shaped frame with the opening facing upwards, as shown in Figure 10As shown in the figure; then pair the sixth sheet surface module 21-6 and the seventh sheet surface module 21-7 within the "E" frame. Different from the above, the diagonal braces on both sides of these two sheet surface modules are not installed temporarily to facilitate adjusting the positions of the upper and lower crossbeams of the sixth and seventh sheet surface modules. Use a crane to sequentially lift the sixth sheet surface module and connect and fix the first and third sheet surface modules with pins simultaneously. The method is similar to the method described in the previous embodiment 1; use the same method to install and connect the seventh sheet surface module to the third and fifth sheet surface modules; finally, install the remaining diagonal braces, bottom diagonal braces, and top diagonal braces on the sixth and seventh sheet surface modules, weld the riser pipes, and the "day" - shaped aquaculture cage is assembled. For the assembly process of other details, refer to Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here.

The "Six - port" modular deep - sea aquaculture system 400 is assembled from three sets of the "day" - shaped modular deep - sea aquaculture cages 300 in Embodiment 3. The three "day" - shaped modular deep - sea aquaculture cages include six pile legs 1, a "day" - shaped cage body 2, and six sets of gear - rack lifting units 3; the installation process of a single "day" - shaped aquaculture cage is the same as that in Embodiment 3 and will not be elaborated here. Specifically, refer to the relevant written records and related drawings in Embodiment 3.
[0087] In the installation method of this example, it also includes step (4) splicing and expanding adjacent "day" - shaped aquaculture cages.
[0088] Specifically, the cage bodies of two adjacent "day" - shaped aquaculture cages are connected by a connecting member 4, and the connecting members are respectively installed on the outer ring part of the annular installation unit of each cage body. The connecting member can be realized by a detachable structure such as a pin. When the aquaculture cages need to be spliced and fixed to each other, lock the connecting members between the cage bodies of adjacent aquaculture cages, so that the cages can rely on and connect with each other in the sea area, improving the installation stability of the cages under the sea. When the aquaculture cages need to be lifted or lowered, then disassemble the connecting members such as pins to解开各个养殖网箱之间的固定连接,实现各自养殖网箱的升降功能。该方式的网箱可以不断横向拓展其网箱的长度,实现模块化拓展养殖。
[0089] Installation of the "Field" - shaped Modular Deep - sea Aquaculture System and Its Aquaculture System in Embodiment 5
[0090] As Figure 14 It should be noted that there seems to be an incomplete sentence in the translation of . The original Chinese text "解开各个养殖网箱之间的固定连接,实现各自养殖网箱的升降功能。" is translated as "unlock the fixed connections between each aquaculture cage to realize the lifting and lowering functions of each aquaculture cage." in the English translation above. If you have any further questions or need more detailed help, please feel free to let me know.As shown in the figure, a method for installing a "field"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture cage. The "field"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture system 500 includes nine pile legs, a "field"-shaped cage body, and nine sets of gear-rack lifting units. The structures and installation methods of the pile legs and the gear-rack lifting units are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. Specifically, refer to the relevant written records and related drawings of Embodiment 1.
[0091] The difference in this embodiment lies in the assembly of the "field"-shaped cage body in step (1).
[0092] Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in the installation method of the "field"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture cage in this embodiment is that there are certain differences in the shape and structure of the cage body, resulting in certain differences in the assembly sequence.
[0093] The "field"-shaped cage body is composed of twelve rectangular sheet modules of the same size and eighteen annular installation units. The structures of the sheet modules and the annular installation units are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. The specific assembly process is as follows:
[0094] As shown in Embodiment 3, first assemble two "E"-shaped frames, and then install the eleventh and twelfth sheet modules in the two "E"-shaped frames. The diagonal braces on both sides of these two sheet modules are not installed temporarily to facilitate adjusting the positions of the upper and lower crossbeams of the two "E"-shaped frames. The method is similar to the method described above in Embodiment 3. Finally, install the remaining diagonal braces, bottom diagonal braces, and top diagonal braces on the eleventh and twelfth sheet modules, and weld the risers. The assembly of the "field"-shaped aquaculture cage is completed. For the assembly process of the remaining details, refer to Embodiments 1 and 3, and will not be repeated here.
[0095] Installation of the "eight-port" modular deep-sea aquaculture system and its aquaculture system in Embodiment 6
[0096] As Figures 15-16 shown, a method for installing an "eight-port" modular deep-sea aquaculture system. The "eight-port" modular deep-sea aquaculture system 600 is assembled by two sets of the "field"-shaped aquaculture cages in Embodiment 3. Each set of "field"-shaped modular deep-sea aquaculture cages includes nine pile legs 1, a "field"-shaped cage body 2, and nine sets of gear-rack lifting units 3. The installation process of a single "field"-shaped aquaculture cage is the same as that in Embodiment 5, and will not be repeated here. Specifically, refer to the relevant written records and related drawings of Embodiment 5.
[0097] The installation method in this embodiment further includes step (4) splicing and expanding adjacent "field"-shaped aquaculture cages.
[0098] Specifically, the net cage bodies of two adjacent "field"-shaped aquaculture net cages are connected by a connecting member 4, and the connecting members are respectively installed on the outer ring parts of the annular installation units of each net cage body. The connecting member can be realized by a detachable structure such as a bolt. When the aquaculture net cages need to be spliced and fixed to each other, the connecting members between the net cage bodies of adjacent aquaculture net cages are locked, so that the net cages can rely on and connect with each other in the sea area, improving the installation stability of the net cages under the seabed. When the aquaculture net cages need to be lifted or lowered, the fixed connection between the individual aquaculture net cages is released by disassembling the connecting members such as bolts, realizing the lifting and lowering functions of each aquaculture net cage. The net cages in this way can continuously expand the length of the net cages horizontally, realizing modular expansion of aquaculture.
[0099] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
