The two ends of the universal joint 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the support rod 2 and the end of the rotating shaft 5 for torque transmission. During the immersion in water for cultivation, the roller 6 will not rotate freely due to the interference of the friction between the rotating shaft 5 and the support frame 4, thereby ensuring that the attachment base 3 is in a stationary state relative to the crossbeam 1, providing a stable environment for the growth of shellfish.

[0018] Two groups of scraper mechanisms are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the beam 1, and a floating mechanism is connected to the top of the beam 1 to support the entire device floating in the water. The scraper mechanism is used to separate the shellfish attached to the mechanism.

[0019] The floating mechanism includes a floating platform 23, a steel cable 24 and a locking device 25. The locking device 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the steel cable 24. The bottom end of the steel cable 24 is connected to the middle part of the top end of the beam 1 through the locking device 25. A winding mechanism is provided inside the floating platform 23. The top end of the steel cable 24 passes through the bottom of the floating platform 23 and is connected to the winding mechanism.

[0020] The steel cable 24 passes through the bottom of the floating platform 23, and a sealing ring 30 is fixedly installed in the contact area. The sealing ring 30 is made of wear-resistant material.

[0021] The winding mechanism includes a motor group device 26, a reel 27, a control device 28 and an energy storage device 29. The motor group device 26, the control device 28 and the energy storage device 29 are all fixedly installed in the floating platform 23. The reel 27 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the motor group device 26. The top end of the steel cable 24 is wound around the reel 27.

[0022] The operator can send a command signal to the control device 28 through an external control terminal. The control device 28 starts or stops the motor group device 26. The motor group device 26 drives the reel 27 to retract and release the steel cable 24, thereby controlling the position depth of the beam 1. The motor group device 26 is an integrated module with a self-locking function.

[0023] The electrical equipment is powered by the energy storage device 29, and the entire device is controlled by signal transmission through the external terminal and control device 28. Since the terminal and control device 28 are commonly used equipment and belong to existing mature technologies, their electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The scraping mechanism includes a cross bar 8, a scraper frame 9 and a plurality of thorn plates 10. Two connecting frames 11 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom side of the cross beam 1. The two ends of the cross bar 8 are respectively rotatably sleeved in the two connecting frames 11. The top of the scraper frame 9 is fixedly sleeved on the cross bar 8. The plurality of thorn plates 10 are vertically fixedly installed on one side of the scraper frame 9 close to the attachment base 3, and respectively correspond to the middle part of the inner side of the plurality of attachment bases 3. Locking components are symmetrically provided on the inner sides of the two ends of the support frame 4.

[0025] The locking component includes a block 12, a clamping rod 13, a clamping plate 14 and two first locking screws 15. The block 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame 4, and the clamping rod 13 is horizontally fixedly installed at the end of the scraper frame 9. A detachable mechanism is formed between the clamping plate 14 and the block 12 through two first locking screws 15 for fixing the clamping rod 13.

[0026] A sleeve 16 is horizontally fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the two scraper frames 9 that are close to each other, and the two sleeves 16 are connected by a second locking screw 17.

[0027] When using this equipment for shellfish aquaculture, the locking component is opened, the clamping rod 13 is separated from the clamping plate 14 and the clamping block 12, and the two scrapers 9 are in a vertical state under the action of their own weight. The two sleeves 16 are in contact at one end close to each other, and the second locking screw 17 is inserted into the two sleeves 16, and then locked by a nut, so that the two scrapers 9 are always in a vertical state, and the locking device 25 at the bottom of the steel cable 24 is connected to the beam 1, and then the whole equipment is put into the designated waters, and the winding mechanism is controlled by the control terminal, so that the beam 1 drives multiple groups of attachment mechanisms to dive into the designated water depth, and under the self-locking action of the motor group device 26, it is at a fixed depth.

[0028] A plurality of floating platforms 23 can be connected in series to form a large-scale farming with multiple sets of equipment.

[0029] The attachment base 3 is immersed in the water area, and the shellfish grow on the attachment base 3, preying on phytoplankton such as algae brought by the flow of the water area, and supplementing nutrition for growth.

[0030] After a period of cultivation, the shellfish grow up and can be caught. The terminal sends instructions to the control device 28, the motor group device 26 is started, the steel cable 24 is reeled in, the steel cable 24 moves the beam 1 upward, and finally fits with the bottom of the floating platform 23, and then the entire equipment is salvaged ashore.

[0031] After the entire device is moved to the shore, the locking device 25 is unlocked to separate the floating mechanism from the beam 1, and then the second locking screw 17 is taken out from the two sleeves 16, and then the two scrapers 9 are pushed and deflected to both sides respectively, so that the clamping rod 13 contacts the clamping block 12, and then the first locking screw 15 is tightened so that the clamping plate 14 and the clamping block 12 lock the clamping rod 13, thereby fixing the scraper 9, and the hard hair on the thorn plate 10 contacts the inner side of the attachment base 3.

[0032] After the scraper frame 9 is fixed, the device is pushed to move as a whole, the roller 6 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, the rotating shaft 5 drives the support rod 2 to rotate through the universal joint 7, and the support rod 2 drives the attachment base 3 thereon to rotate.

[0033] As the equipment continues to move, the attachment base 3 continues to rotate. Under the interference of the thorn plate 10, the shellfish on the attachment base 3 are scraped off. The thorn plate 10 separates the shellfish from the attachment base 3, realizing the automatic collection of shellfish, saving manpower, and collecting while moving and stacking in layers, which is convenient for subsequent sorting operations and improves efficiency.

[0034] During aquaculture, the two scrapers 9 are in a vertical state, away from the attachment base 3, and will not affect the adsorption of shellfish. The burrs on the thorn plate 10 have an intercepting effect on algae in the water area, preventing the algae from moving too fast with the water flow, and can provide food for shellfish, thereby facilitating the eating of shellfish and having the function of storing food for shellfish.

[0035] The attachment base 3 is made of a water-permeable material, a guide cavity 18 is opened inside the support rod 2, a plurality of guide holes 19 are opened outside the support rod 2, the attachment base 3 is connected to the guide cavity 18 through the plurality of guide holes 19, and a liquid storage cavity 20 is opened inside the beam 1.

[0036] The liquid storage chamber 20 is communicated with the guide chambers 18 in the plurality of struts 2 . A turbine 21 is fixedly sleeved in the end of the strut 2 located in the liquid storage chamber 20 , and a valve joint 22 is fixedly installed at the front end of the crossbeam 1 .

[0037] The valve connector 22 is in a normally closed state and can be connected to an external water supply device.

[0038] When harvesting shellfish, the valve joint 22 is connected to an external water supply device, and the water supply device injects water into the liquid storage chamber 20 inside the beam 1. The support rod 2 rotates, driving the turbine 21 inside it to rotate, and the water is pressurized and introduced into the diversion chamber 18. The water flow finally flows out from the attachment base 3 through the diversion hole 19, impacting the shellfish, making it easier for the shellfish to separate from the attachment base 3.

[0039] The water flows out from the interior of the attachment base 3, impacting the shellfish while cleaning the attachment base 3, making it easier to use in subsequent breeding.

[0040] Before placing the device in water, nutrient solution can be injected into the liquid storage chamber 20, and then the valve joint 22 can be closed. During the breeding period, under the absorption effect of shellfish, the nutrient solution slowly flows into the attachment base 3 through the liquid storage chamber 20, the diversion chamber 18, and the diversion hole 19, and is finally absorbed by the shellfish, so that the shellfish can be placed in a nutrient-sufficient water environment. The amount of nutrient solution injected can be added according to the growth cycle of shellfish to ensure that the nutrient solution is adequately supplied within a growth cycle.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
