Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering, and in particular to a bamboo-based offshore floating unmanned marine ranch system. Background Art
[0002] Marine ranching is a method of using marine resources to cultivate aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and algae. Its purpose is to achieve sustainable utilization of marine resources. Marine ranching can be divided into two types: artificial breeding and natural breeding.
[0003] Artificial breeding: In an artificially controlled marine environment, the growth and reproduction of aquatic organisms is promoted by feeding, adjusting water quality, temperature, dissolved oxygen and other environmental parameters. Artificial breeding usually requires the construction of breeding facilities, such as floating platforms, cages, breeding ponds, etc.
[0004] Natural breeding: Utilizing the natural environment of the ocean, fish fry or shellfish fry are artificially released to allow them to grow under natural conditions. Natural breeding does not require the construction of breeding facilities and has less impact on the environment, but is more affected by natural conditions, such as typhoons and red tides.
[0005] The plastic or metal floating platform materials currently used have problems such as short lifespan, difficulty in degradation or environmental pollution, and require frequent maintenance and replacement. In addition, traditional farming lacks data-based decision support. Therefore, we propose a bamboo-based offshore floating unmanned marine ranch system to solve the above problems.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Embodiment 1
[0045] See also Figure 1 , a bamboo-based floating unmanned marine ranch system, including a facility module, a data integration and processing module, and an interaction module;
[0046] Among them, the facility modules include a self-repairing bamboo-based floating platform, an intelligent sensor network, a camera monitoring system, an automatic bait-casting machine, an intelligent water purification device, and automatic grading and sorting fishing equipment;

[0049] The surface of the self-repairing bamboo-based floating platform is coated with a self-repairing coating. The top of the self-repairing bamboo-based floating platform is installed with solar panels for collecting solar energy and converting it into electrical energy for use in the entire aquaculture system. A small wind turbine is installed on the self-repairing bamboo-based floating platform to generate electricity using sea breeze, which together with the solar panels provide power for the system. An intelligent energy management system is installed inside the self-repairing bamboo-based floating platform, which allocates electricity supply from solar and wind power generation according to the energy consumption requirements of the aquaculture system.
[0050] Specifically, for the bamboo structure and self-repairing coating technology design, the specific steps are:
[0051] Step 1: Cut the bamboo into long strips, weave and bundle them into a grid structure to improve the bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the floating platform.
[0052] Step 2: Set up multiple sealed air bags inside the bamboo grid structure to ensure the stable floating of the floating platform.
[0053] Step 3: Use nodes to reinforce the intersection of the grid to improve the overall stability of the structure.
[0054] Step 4: Apply the self-repairing coating evenly on the surface of the bamboo. The microcapsules in the coating will burst when the bamboo is damaged, releasing the repair agent, which reacts with the catalyst in the bamboo to form new polymer chains, thereby repairing the cracks.
[0055] Solar panels and wind turbines continue to generate electricity during the day and in windy conditions, which is stored in batteries for daily operation of the farming system. When damage occurs on the surface of the bamboo, the microcapsules in the self-healing coating rupture and release repair agents for repair.
[0056] The smart sensor network includes temperature sensors, dissolved oxygen monitors, water quality detectors, and biosensors;
[0057] Among them, temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature of aquaculture water with an accuracy of ±0.1°C. They are distributed at different depths in the aquaculture area and transmit data to the cloud platform in real time.
[0058] Dissolved oxygen monitors are used to measure the dissolved oxygen content in the water. They are distributed at different points in the aquaculture area. The monitored data is transmitted in real time and used to adjust the aeration equipment and change the feeding strategy.
[0059] Water quality detectors are used to monitor pH, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate indicators. They are installed at the water inlet and outlet of aquaculture water bodies. The monitored data are transmitted in real time for water quality management and early warning systems.
[0060] The biosensor is an external non-invasive biosensor used to monitor the physiological state of fish. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity and miniaturization, and sends data to the cloud platform via wireless transmission.
[0061] Further, the workflow of the smart sensor network:
[0062] Each sensor collects data at a preset frequency and transmits the collected data wirelessly to the cloud platform, which analyzes the data in real time to identify abnormal situations. Based on the analysis results, the breeding environment or breeding management strategy is automatically adjusted. When potential problems are detected, the system issues an early warning and sends a report to the management personnel. The sensor network continues to work to ensure the stability of the breeding environment and the health of the fish.
[0063] The camera monitoring system includes a high-resolution HD camera with an IP66 protection level and is equipped with a low-light sensor. The HD camera is installed on the floating platform through corrosion-resistant fixings, covering the entire breeding area. The camera continuously collects images of the breeding area and transmits them to the cloud platform in real time via a wireless network. The collected images have a resolution of 1080p.
[0064] Specifically, the activity patterns, behavioral characteristics and health status of fish are analyzed through images, fish images are taken regularly, the length and weight of fish are measured through image processing technology, the growth rate is estimated, and the breeding area is monitored for invasion of alien species. The image data is stored on the cloud platform for historical query and data analysis. The collected images are automatically identified and analyzed through deep learning algorithms, and the camera data is combined with other sensor data.
[0065] The automatic feeding machine is driven by a servo motor, has feed storage space inside and multiple adjustable feeding ports outside. There is a control system inside the automatic feeding machine. The control system integrates AI algorithms to analyze fish growth data, feeding behavior, and water quality conditions. It also contains a microprocessor or single-chip computer to receive AI analysis results and control the operation of the feeding machine.
[0066] Specifically, the system automatically adjusts the feeding time, frequency and quantity based on the analysis results of the AI algorithm. It automatically selects and mixes different types of feed according to the growth stage and nutritional needs of the fish. If a malfunction occurs, it stops feeding and issues an alarm.
[0067] The working process of the automatic bait throwing machine:
[0068] The automatic feeding machine collects fish growth and environmental data from the intelligent sensor network and camera monitoring system. The AI algorithm processes the collected data and predicts the current feed needs of the fish. Based on the AI analysis results, it automatically selects the appropriate feed type and prepares the right amount of feed. The control unit starts the drive system and delivers the feed to the breeding area through the feeding port. After feeding, the system continues to collect data, and the AI analyzes the feeding effect and adjusts the next feeding strategy if necessary. The system continuously monitors the operating status of the feeding machine and performs maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0069] The intelligent water purification device includes a biological filter, activated carbon nanoparticles, and an intelligent control system;
[0070] The biofilter is composed of multiple biofilter units, each of which is filled with biological media. The biofilter uses microorganisms to decompose the ammonia nitrogen and nitrite produced during the breeding process and convert them into harmless or low-harm substances to achieve water purification.
[0071] Activated carbon nanoparticles are integrated into the biofilter to remove heavy metal ions, harmful chemicals and pathogens from the water.
[0072] The intelligent control system includes water quality sensors to monitor water quality parameters in real time. Based on the sensor data, the intelligent control system automatically adjusts the water flow rate and oxygen supply, and feeds back the water quality data and purification effect to the cloud platform;
[0073] Specifically, the sensors in the device monitor various water quality indicators in the aquaculture water in real time, and the monitoring data is transmitted to the intelligent control system and synchronized with the cloud platform. The aquaculture water flows into the biofilter, where organic waste is removed by microorganisms, and then the activated carbon nanoparticles are used to further purify the water. The intelligent control system automatically adjusts the working state of the biofilter according to the water quality data.
[0074] Automatic grading and sorting fishing equipment includes fish aggregators, fish sorters, and automatic control systems;
[0075] Among them, the fish aggregator is a channel type, which is used to guide and concentrate fish and make them enter the sorting system. It attracts fish by controlling water level changes or using sound waves or light lures.
[0076] The fish sorter consists of multiple concentric circles, each with a different aperture. The fish are automatically graded and sorted according to their size and type. The fish are transported to the conveyor belt, where the size of the fish is measured by a photoelectric sensor and then automatically sorted into different collection boxes.
[0077] The automatic control system controls the automated operation of the entire grading and sorting process. The automatic control system uses PLC combined with sensors and actuators to achieve automated control and control the actions of the actuators.
[0078] Specifically, the fish in the breeding area are guided to the grading and sorting system through the fish aggregator, and the fish are initially graded according to their size through the grading wheel. The fish pass through the photoelectric sensor and weight sensor one by one through the conveyor belt to measure the size or weight of the fish. According to the measurement results, the automatic control system controls the sorting mechanism to sort the fish into different collection boxes. The size, weight and quantity data of the fish are recorded during the sorting process and transmitted to the cloud platform.
[0079] In the data integration and processing module, the cloud platform connects with sensors and cameras at the hardware facility layer through APIs. The cloud platform receives and processes various data formats, stores data information through distributed databases and data centers, and quickly processes and analyzes real-time incoming data. For non-real-time data, batch processing is performed. The cloud platform has built-in data analysis tools to help users understand the data. Users can view the farm's environmental data, equipment status, and fish health in real time through web pages or mobile applications. When abnormal data or equipment failure is detected, the system automatically issues an alarm to notify management personnel.
[0080] Specifically, the cloud platform uses relational or non-relational databases to store structured and unstructured data, and regularly backs up data and implements redundant storage strategies, automatically cleans data, removes invalid, erroneous or duplicate data, and uses AI and machine learning algorithms to perform trend analysis and pattern recognition on data. The monitoring interface includes an interactive map that shows the specific location of the farm and the distribution of equipment. Users send control commands through the cloud platform to remotely operate the farm's equipment.
[0081] Convolutional neural networks are used in artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically identify and analyze images. The growth curve of fish is simulated to predict the growth rate, weight and body shape of fish. Machine learning and fish growth models are combined to analyze breeding data and predict the growth trend of fish.
[0082] Different marine environmental conditions are simulated through environmental simulators to predict the aquaculture effects under different environments. Advanced environmental simulation technology is used to combine meteorological data and marine environmental parameters to predict the impact of environmental changes on aquaculture. The aquaculture strategies are learned and improved through supervised learning from historical data.
[0083] Specifically, the deep learning algorithm recognizes and classifies the images captured by the camera, analyzes the growth status and behavior of the fish, and the machine learning model combines the fish growth model to simulate the fish growth curve and predict future growth. The environmental simulator predicts the impact of environmental changes on aquaculture based on meteorological data and marine environmental parameters. Based on the above analysis results, the artificial intelligence algorithm optimizes the feed feeding amount, water quality management, and aquaculture environment regulation, and automatically controls and adjusts the feeding machine and aeration equipment according to the optimized aquaculture strategy.
[0084] The big data analysis platform integrates data from smart sensor networks, camera monitoring systems, and automatic bait dispensers, and processes structured and unstructured data. It uses a distributed data warehouse to store large amounts of breeding data, and combines data warehouses with data lakes to store semi-structured and unstructured data.
[0085] Subsequently, invalid, erroneous or duplicate data is removed, valuable information is mined from large amounts of data through machine learning, and the analysis results are used to generate reports that are provided to breeding managers.
[0086] In the VR farming experience system, virtual reality technology is used to experience the observation of the farming environment and the behavior of fish. The VR helmet is used to interact with the elements in the virtual environment, adjust the farming parameters, observe the growth of fish, enter the virtual farming environment through the VR helmet, and use the VR software platform to create and run the virtual farming experience.
[0087] In the remote monitoring and management system, managers can remotely view the real-time data and video surveillance of the farm, and allow users and managers to perform management operations remotely through the system.
[0088] Specifically, real-time data is transmitted to the remote monitoring and management system through the network. The system sets different operation permissions to ensure that only authorized users and managers can perform management operations. Extreme weather events are predicted in advance through meteorological data and early warning systems. After extreme weather warnings, the system can automatically adjust the location of breeding facilities;
[0089] Integrate with meteorological data service providers to obtain meteorological data in real time and set warning thresholds. When extreme weather is predicted, the system will issue a warning and automatically control the movement of breeding facilities to move them to a safe area before the storm arrives.
[0090] The intelligent sensor network and camera monitoring system collects data on the aquaculture environment and fish growth in real time. The data is uploaded to the cloud platform, and the artificial intelligence algorithm performs preliminary processing and analysis. According to the results of the artificial intelligence analysis, the temperature, dissolved oxygen, and water quality parameters are automatically adjusted. The intelligent water purification device and the automatic feeding machine adjust the working status according to the instructions. The machine learning algorithm continuously optimizes the aquaculture strategy. The big data analysis platform provides decision support. Users manage and experience aquaculture through the VR aquaculture experience system and remote monitoring management system. Biosensors monitor the physiological state of fish, and the early warning system prevents diseases, analyzes fish health data, and adjusts aquaculture measures in time. Automatic grading and sorting fishing equipment grades and catches fish according to the size of the fish. The early warning system monitors extreme weather and issues early warnings. The protective device adjusts the position of the floating platform according to the instructions to protect the aquaculture facilities and fish.
