Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular to a net cage used for deep-water aquaculture. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture is the main industry in my country's fishery. In recent years, due to the deterioration of water quality, the aquaculture space in inland lakes and coastal areas has been squeezed. More and more people have begun to engage in deep-sea aquaculture. Deep-water aquaculture cages are the key equipment required for deep-sea aquaculture.

[0003] Deep-water aquaculture cages usually include a floating plate frame, a net bag, and a fixing mechanism. During aquaculture, feed is usually fed by manually spreading the feed into the net bag. Due to the large area of ​​deep-water aquaculture cages, the manual feeding method cannot evenly spread the feed in the cage, making it impossible for some of the aquaculture in the cage to obtain the feed in time, which can easily reduce the survival rate of the aquaculture. In addition, the manual feeding method can easily spill the feed out of the cage, resulting in feed waste. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a cage for deep-water aquaculture, which has the function of facilitating uniform feeding of feed into the cage and improving the survival rate.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a net cage for deep-water aquaculture, comprising a floating platform assembly, a net bag, a fixing assembly and a feeding assembly, the floating platform assembly comprising an annular floating plate, a supporting frame being fixed to the inner side of the floating plate, the feeding assembly comprising a mounting frame, the mounting frame being rotatably connected to the supporting frame, a rotating mechanism being connected to the mounting frame, a discharging hopper being slidably arranged in the mounting frame, the discharging hopper being connected to the moving mechanism and being able to slide radially along the floating plate, a feeding pump being installed on the floating plate, a connecting column being connected to the connecting column, a conveying pipe being rotatably connected to the conveying pipe being connected to the feeding pump, a discharging pipe being connected to the connecting column, and the discharging pipe being connected to the discharging hopper.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, when feeding is needed, the feed is connected to the feed pump through a pipeline, and the feed pump can send the feed into the adapter pipe through the delivery pipe, and then send it into the discharge hopper through the discharge pipe, so that it falls on the water surface inside the net bag through the discharge hopper, and at the same time, the rotating mechanism and the moving mechanism are started, so that the discharge hopper can slide along the radial direction of the floating plate and can also rotate with the mounting frame with the center of the floating plate as the center of the circle, so that the feed sent out from the discharge hopper can be evenly sprinkled on the inside of the net bag, so that the cultured animals at various positions in the net bag can eat the feed, thereby improving the survival rate of the cultured animals, and the position of the discharge pump will not change due to the change of the position of the discharge hopper, so that people can keep adding feed at a fixed position, so that the feed addition is convenient and the addition of feed will not affect the feeding of the feed, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the support frame includes a plurality of support rods evenly distributed on the inner side of the floating plate, the upper side of each support rod is connected by a support ring, the mounting frame includes a rotating ring rotatably connected to the upper side of the support ring, a mounting plate is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring, the adapter column is connected to the mounting plate, four connecting rods are evenly distributed circumferentially of the mounting plate, the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the rotating ring, the discharging hopper is slidably arranged on one of the connecting rods, the rotating mechanism includes a conical gear ring fixed to the lower side of the rotating ring, the conical gear ring is located on the outer side of the support ring, a rotating motor is fixed to the lower side of the support ring, a transmission gear is connected to the rotating motor, and the transmission gear is meshed with the conical gear ring.

At the same time, the discharging hopper is driven to rotate by the rotating motor so that the discharging hopper can evenly sprinkle the feed to the inside of the net bag along the circumference of the floating plate, so that the discharging hopper can evenly sprinkle the feed to the inside of the net bag, thereby improving the survival rate of the farmed animals.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the discharge hopper slides, the discharge pipe will be driven to move, and the extrusion block can make the redundant discharge pipe only be rolled up and placed on the placement plate, and the torsion spring can assist in the rolling up of the discharge pipe, so that the discharge pipe is not easy to swing randomly when following the movement of the discharge hopper, preventing the discharge pipe from falling into the water and contacting the cultured animals, making it difficult for the cultured animals to collide with the discharge pipe, thereby improving the survival rate of the cultured animals.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: a feed hopper is installed at the feed port of the feed pump, the feed hopper is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and a feed pipe is fixed on the side of the feed hopper.
