Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mussel harvesting equipment, and in particular relates to an integrated operation vessel for in-situ harvesting and cleaning of mussels at sea. Background Art

[0002] The general structure of the offshore mussel farming model is as follows: floating ropes and buoys are set on the sea surface, fixed piles are inserted into the seabed, connecting ropes are set between the fixed piles and the ends of the floating ropes, and the farming ropes are hung vertically on the floating ropes, and mussels can be fixed and grown on the farming ropes.

[0003] On the other hand, the essence of the mussel harvesting operation at sea is that the operator drives the boat out to the sea, comes to the floating rope, unties the culture rope on the floating rope, or directly cuts the upper end of the latter, harvests the culture rope, and finally separates the mussels from the culture rope. This is also the meaning of the above-mentioned "in situ", that is, the harvesting operation is all carried out on the operating boat, without the need for cleaning, separation, etc. on the shore, thereby protecting the shore environment.

[0004] Correspondingly, the general structure of the integrated operation vessel for in-situ harvesting and cleaning of mussels at sea includes at least: a culture rope harvesting area, a mussel and rope body breaking up and cleaning area, and a mussel and rope body storage area, so as to achieve a basic integrated harvesting operation effect.

[0005] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221011560U and authorization announcement date 2024.05.28 discloses an automatic shallow-water shellfish harvesting vessel device, whose structure includes a vessel, a shellfish collection pool, an anti-collision net, a collection and transportation component, a collection and transportation belt, a movable shaft, a water spray pipe, a turntable, a connecting rod, an auxiliary harvesting unit, and harvesting blades, etc.

[0006] The general structural principle and advantages of the automatic harvesting ship device in this utility model patent are as follows: the collection and transportation component includes a hollow hopper, the setting of which is convenient for the transmission of shellfish, and can allow sand and smaller shellfish to leak out, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the collected shellfish and making the collected shellfish uniform in size, so as to achieve the effect of catching the big ones and keeping the small ones.

[0007] However, the automatic harvesting vessel device has at least the following disadvantages when harvesting mussels, which is also the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, namely:

[0008] Its collection and transportation components are difficult to lift the floating rope conveniently, and it is also difficult to untie or cut the culture rope on the floating rope, so the mussel harvesting efficiency is relatively low.

[0009] Therefore, in summary, there is an urgent need for a special, integrated harvesting operation vessel suitable for the marine aquaculture model of mussels. Summary of the invention

[0010] The present invention provides an integrated operation vessel for in-situ harvesting and cleaning of mussels at sea. By arranging a vertical plate, a crane, an open frame unit and a sliding cylinder unit on a hull, the operation of first pulling a floating rope and then cutting a culture rope can be simply, efficiently and continuously performed on the hull, thereby achieving the basic purpose of integrated mussel harvesting.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems is: an integrated operation vessel for in-situ harvesting and cleaning of mussels at sea, the structure of which includes a hull, a vertical plate arranged on the hull, a hoist arranged on the vertical plate and used to lift the floating rope, an open frame unit arranged on the hoist and used to clamp the floating rope and pass the float, and a sliding cylinder unit arranged on the open frame unit and used to cut the breeding rope.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution is that the open frame unit includes a hook body hung on the hoist, a frame body arranged on the hook body, and a fracture arranged on the bottom plate of the frame body and used for clamping the floating rope and installing the sliding cylinder unit.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the opening frame unit also includes a spring arranged at one end of the fracture and used to laterally lift the sliding cylinder unit, and an expansion plate arranged at the other end of the fracture and used to block the sliding cylinder unit.

[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that the sliding cylinder unit includes a transverse cylinder which is sleeved on the bottom plate of the frame and has the spring inside, an end plate which is arranged on the end surface of the transverse cylinder and is used to compress the spring, and a knife body which is arranged on the transverse cylinder and is located below the bottom plate of the frame and is used to cut the breeding rope.

[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that the sliding cylinder unit also includes a blocking plate which is arranged on the transverse cylinder and, together with the bottom plate of the frame, is used to engage and fix the breeding rope in the length direction of the floating rope.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that the blade body and the blocking plate are both arranged on the end surface of the transverse cylinder, and the length of the blocking plate is greater than that of the blade body.

[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that the frame is in the shape of an equilateral triangle or a square.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that the number of the vertical plates and the cranes are both two, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the hull.

[0019] A further preferred technical solution is that: the hull is also provided with a conveyor belt for conveying the culture rope, and a cleaning tank for separating the rope body and the mussel seedlings.

[0020] A further preferred technical solution is that: the hull is further provided with two material frames for placing the rope body and mussel seedlings respectively. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The following descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] As attached Figure 1-9 As shown, a mussel offshore in-situ harvesting and cleaning integrated operation vessel comprises a hull 11, a vertical plate 1 arranged on the hull 11, a hoisting machine 2 arranged on the vertical plate 1 and used for lifting a floating rope a, an opening frame unit 3 arranged on the hoisting machine 2 and used for inserting the floating rope a and passing the buoy b, and a sliding cylinder unit 4 arranged on the opening frame unit 3 and used for cutting the culture rope c.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shape of the vertical plate 1 is an inverted L shape, so that the hoist 2 is appropriately extended outside the hull 11. The hoist 2 can be an electric hoist, and its load range for lifting the floating rope a is several tens of kilograms. Therefore, for the open frame unit 3, although there is a break on it, its structural strength is still sufficient for the above-mentioned lifting requirement of several tens of kilograms.

[0039] In addition, the reason why the crane 2 does not directly lift the floating rope a is that the integrated work boat needs to move forward and harvest the aquaculture rope c at the same time, so this requires that the floating ball b can pass through the hook of the crane 2. However, the common hook size of the crane 2 is generally about 10 cm, while the common floating ball b size is generally 40-80 cm, so the latter cannot pass over the former.

[0040] Therefore, the size characteristics of the open frame unit 3 are: the size of its inner area is relatively large, ensuring that the float ball b with a diameter of 40-80 cm can pass through, and one of the shape characteristics of the open frame unit 3 is: a break is provided on it, the floating rope a is first inserted, and then all the breeding ropes c on it are harvested, and finally the floating rope a is moved out to complete the harvesting operation of all the breeding ropes on the entire floating rope a.

[0041] Finally, the functions of the sliding cylinder unit 4 at least include:

[0042] First, after the floating rope a is inserted into the opening frame unit 3, the sliding cylinder unit 4 can block and seal the above-mentioned fracture to prevent the floating rope a from accidentally sliding out;

[0043] Secondly, the sliding cylinder unit 4 is provided with a cutting knife structure, so that all the breeding ropes c on the floating rope a can be removed in sequence.

[0044] The open frame unit 3 includes a hook body 301 hung on the hoist 2, a frame body 302 arranged on the hook body 301, and a break 303 arranged on the bottom plate of the frame body 302 and used for clamping the floating rope a and installing the sliding cylinder unit 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the position of the fracture 303 is at a relatively edge position on the bottom plate of the frame 302, and the hook body 301 and the frame 302 are integrally formed and made of high-strength steel, and the former is significantly smaller than the latter.

[0046] Therefore, when the bottom plate of the frame 302 hits the float b while moving forward, the float b can be properly lifted up to allow it to pass through the frame 302 smoothly. When the bottom plate of the frame 302 hits the breeding rope c while moving forward, since the breeding rope c is a vertically hanging long strip, it is impossible for it to pass through the frame 302, and there is no problem of the breeding rope c being missed and not being cut and recovered.

[0047] At this time, after the aquaculture rope c that is encountered is successfully cut, the hull 11 continues to move forward with the frame 302, continues to cross the buoy b, and harvests the aquaculture rope c, and finally achieves the purpose of continuous and integrated harvesting on a whole floating rope a.

[0048] The opening frame unit 3 further includes a spring 304 disposed at one end of the break 303 and used to laterally lift the sliding cylinder unit 4 , and an expansion plate 305 disposed at the other end of the break 303 and used to block the sliding cylinder unit 4 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the function of the spring 304 is to make the sliding cylinder unit 4 have a normal state of closing the break 303. The sliding cylinder unit 4 is also made of high-strength steel, and during the advancement of the workboat, even if the floating rope a temporarily slides onto the sliding cylinder unit 4, the latter can support the floating rope a through its own high structural strength, so that it slides back to the bottom plate of the frame 302.

[0050] The blocking direction of the sliding cylinder unit 4 to prevent the floating rope a from accidentally sliding out is not the extension and contraction direction of the spring 304, so the spring 304 can even be a lightweight spring with a relatively small elastic coefficient.

[0051] In addition, the size of the expansion plate 305 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the bottom plate of the frame 302, so that when the sliding cylinder unit 4 closes the break 303, the former is less likely to deflect in the vertical plane.

[0052] The sliding cylinder unit 4 includes a transverse cylinder 401 which is sleeved on the bottom plate of the frame 302 and has the spring 304 inside, an end plate 402 which is arranged on the end surface of the transverse cylinder 401 and is used to compress the spring 304, and a knife body 403 which is arranged on the transverse cylinder 401 and is located below the bottom plate of the frame 302 and is used to cut the breeding rope c.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the bottom plate of the frame 302 is square, corresponding to the square tube-shaped transverse cylinder 401, so that the latter will not rotate vertically, and the shape and size of the end plate 402 are consistent with the expansion plate 305, so that when the sliding cylinder unit 4 closes the fracture 303, the closed structure is more stable.

[0054] In addition, the knife body 403 is placed horizontally. When the farming rope c blocks the bottom plate of the frame 302, its position is aligned with the knife body 403. At this time, it is only necessary to slide the horizontal cylinder 401 to slide the knife body for cutting on the farming rope c.

[0055] The sliding cylinder unit 4 further comprises a blocking plate 404 which is arranged on the transverse cylinder 401 and, together with the bottom plate of the frame 302, is used to engage and fix the breeding rope c in the length direction of the floating rope a.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the bottom plate of the frame 302 blocks the limited breeding rope c, the former can only resist the breeding rope c at the rear end of the forward direction of the hull. Figure 5 , at this time the ship's forward direction is to the right.

[0057] When the transverse cylinder 401 slides, it is extended together with the blocking plate 404 to resist the farming rope c at the front end of the hull in the forward direction, so that the farming rope c can not move forward or backward compared with the sliding cylinder unit 4, so that the cutting action of the knife body 403 can be sufficiently accurate and effective.

[0058] The blade body 403 and the blocking plate 404 are both arranged on the end surface of the transverse cylinder 401 , and the blocking plate 404 is longer than the blade body 403 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the sliding process of the transverse cylinder 401 starts when the end plate 402 leaves the expansion plate 305, then the blocking plate 404 blocks the limited breeding rope c, and finally the blade 403 cuts the breeding rope c. During the above process, the operator or the mechanical arm always holds the breeding rope c, thereby achieving the purpose of effective harvesting.

[0060] Correspondingly, compared with the blocking plate 404, the knife body 403 has two optional installation positions, namely: when the blocking plate 404 is engaged to block the breeding rope c, the knife body 403 is located below it, or the knife body 403 and the blocking plate 404 are respectively located on both sides of the breeding rope c. Both methods can effectively cut the breeding rope c.

[0061] The frame 302 is in the shape of an equilateral triangle or a square.

[0062] The number of the vertical plates 1 and the number of the cranes 2 are both two, which are respectively arranged at both sides of the hull 11.

[0063] The hull 11 is also provided with a conveyor belt 5 for conveying the culture rope c, and a cleaning tank 6 for separating the rope body and the mussel seed.

[0064] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 5 and the cleaning tank 6 are both commercially available products, and only need to ensure basic conveying effect and cleaning and separation effect.

[0065] For example, the structure of the cleaning tank 6 is a rotary stirring type.

[0066] The hull 11 is also provided with two material frames 7 for placing the rope body and mussel seedlings respectively.

[0067] In this embodiment, the material frame 7 is also a commercially available product, and the material frame 7 for placing mussel seedlings is larger than the other material frame 7. Moreover, on the hull 11, the positions of the conveyor belt 5 and the cleaning tank 6 are relatively centered, while the vertical plate 1 and the material frame 7 are respectively located at different ends.

[0068] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. These are all non-creative modifications and are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
