[0022] As described in the background technology, lifting cages have become one of the mainstream directions of deep-sea aquaculture. The use of lifting cages can not only be used to fish, repair and clean fishing nets by floating the cages, but also to avoid large typhoons and avoid losses by diving. However, some lifting cages require a lot of manpower and outsourced equipment to complete the lifting and aquaculture operations, which is not only inefficient and costly, but also prone to major accidents. In addition, considering the investment cost, service life and economic benefits of the cages, it is particularly important to choose a suitable lifting method and aquaculture method, and customize a dedicated intelligent monitoring system. Not only can the investment cost be controlled during the early construction, but also during use, it can greatly reduce labor, energy consumption and other costs.

[0023] In view of this, the present invention provides a lifting cage control and monitoring system, which can facilitate the needs of cage lifting operations through the lifting subsystem, and can also realize intelligent monitoring during the breeding process through the monitoring subsystem. It can not only meet the needs of cage lifting operations, but also realize three-in-one monitoring of cages, guard ships and shore bases, thereby reducing the needs for cage maintenance and labor costs during the breeding process.

[0027] Figure 1 The structure of the lifting cage control and monitoring system of some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the lifting cage control and monitoring system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a lifting subsystem 100 and a monitoring subsystem 200 .

[0028] In some embodiments, the lifting subsystem 100 includes a lifting device 110, a lifting control cabinet 120 connected to the lifting device 110, and a lifting monitoring station 130 connected to the lifting control cabinet 120.

The guard ship may be a ship near the lifting cage, which can provide a place for manual operation, and it is also convenient for manual use of the guard ship to patrol the lifting cage.

[0030] In some embodiments, the equipment power supply and communication cable of the lifting device 110 can be connected to the lifting control cabinet 120, so that the lifting control cabinet 120 provides power to the lifting device 110 and provides control signals to control the lifting device 110 to perform lifting actions. The lifting control cabinet 120 can also be connected to the lifting monitoring station 130 set on the guard ship through a cable, for example, connected to the lifting monitoring station 130 through a flexible seawater-proof cable, so that the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship provides power to the lifting device 110 through the lifting control cabinet 120 on the lifting cage, and provides control signals. The power supply of the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship can come from the guard ship.

[0031] In some embodiments, when the lifting cage needs to be raised or lowered by the lifting device 110, the lifting cage can be raised or lowered next to the lifting control cabinet 120, and can also be raised or lowered at the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lifting cage control and monitoring system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a monitoring subsystem 200, which includes a monitoring device 210, a breeding monitoring cabinet 220 connected to the monitoring device 210, a breeding monitoring station 230 connected to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220, and an intelligent monitoring station 240 connected to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220. The breeding monitoring station 230 is set on a guard ship, and the intelligent monitoring station 240 is set on a shore base that is convenient for manual operation of the lifting cage. The breeding monitoring cabinet 220 and the monitoring device 210 are both set on the lifting cage; the monitoring device 210 is used to monitor and collect the biomass of the lifting cage, and transmit the collected biomass values ​​to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220, the breeding monitoring station 230 and the intelligent monitoring station 240.

[0033] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 210 may include a traditional monitoring device, such as a waterproof camera, an infrared camera, etc., and may also include a data collection device for collecting biomass near the lifting cage, such as the quality of seawater, etc. The aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 may be a console provided on the lifting cage, which can provide power to the monitoring device 210 and provide a control console for manually viewing the monitoring device screen, or transmit power and control signals of the aquaculture monitoring station 230 and / or the intelligent monitoring station 240.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting cage includes a wireless bridge, and the power supply and communication cable of the monitoring device 210 are connected to the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220. The aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 can be connected to the aquaculture monitoring station 230 on the guard ship and the intelligent monitoring station 240 on the shore base by means of a wireless bridge. The aquaculture monitoring station 220 can not only transmit the power supply and control signals from the aquaculture monitoring station 230 and / or the intelligent monitoring station 240, but also transmit the biomass data collected by the monitoring device 210 to the aquaculture monitoring station 230 and / or the intelligent monitoring station 240 by means of a wireless bridge on the lifting cage, so as to realize the real-time monitoring of the lifting cage by the lifting cage, the guard ship and the shore base in three dimensions.

[0035] The lifting subsystem facilitates the need for cage lifting operations, and the monitoring subsystem can also realize intelligent monitoring of the breeding process. It can not only meet the needs of cage lifting operations and facilitate the needs of cage lifting operations under different working conditions, but also realize three-in-one monitoring of cages, guard ships and shore bases, reducing the need for cage maintenance and labor costs during the breeding process.

[0036] Figure 2The structure of the lifting cage control and monitoring system of some embodiments of the present invention is shown. In some embodiments, the lifting device 110 includes N lifting motors 111 and N lifting reducers 112, where N is a natural number. The lifting subsystem 110 also includes: N pile legs 113, all of which are arranged under the seabed base surface, such as Figure 2 As shown, N is 4 at this time. A lifting motor 111 and a lifting reducer 112 are installed on each pile leg 113 .

[0037] In some embodiments, one end of the pile leg 113 is set below the seabed base surface for fixation. A lifting motor 111 and a lifting reducer 112 are installed on each pile leg 113, and the height of the suspension bag of the lifting cage on the pile leg 113 can be changed at a certain speed by N lifting motors 111 at the same time. During the lifting process of the lifting motor 111, the execution speed of the lifting motor 111 can be changed by the lifting reducer 112. A lifting motor 111 and a lifting reducer 112 are installed on each pile leg 113, so that the suspension bag can move parallel to the height direction of the pile leg 113.

[0038] In some embodiments, the pile leg 113 is a pile leg with a rack, and the lifting device 110 is connected to the pile leg with a rack through a rack and pinion transmission mechanism; under the action of the rack and pinion transmission mechanism, the lifting device 110 moves relative to the pile leg with a rack, driving the lifting cage to be lifted and lowered. The pile leg 113 can be a cylindrical pile leg with a rack, and the lifting motor 111 and / or the lifting reducer 112 in the lifting device 110 can be equipped with a rack and pinion transmission mechanism so as to engage with the rack structure on the pile leg 113 to realize the lifting of the lifting cage. In addition, through the pile leg with a rack, the construction cost of the lifting cage control and monitoring system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be reduced to a certain extent, saving raw materials, and reducing the weight of the lifting cage while ensuring safety.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the lifting device 110 also includes: N lifting brakes 114, which are respectively installed on N pile legs 113, and are used to fix the lifting cage after the lifting motor 111 and / or the lifting reducer 112 complete the lifting operation, wherein the lifting operation is to change the height of the lifting cage on the pile legs 113.

[0040] In some embodiments, the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship can be connected to the lifting control cabinet 120 on the lifting cage by a flexible cable. When the lifting cage needs to be lifted, the lifting motor 111 and / or the lifting reducer 112 can be operated next to the lifting control cabinet 120 to lift the lifting cage, or the lifting motor 111 and / or the lifting reducer 112 can be operated next to the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship to lift the lifting cage as a whole. After the lifting operation is completed, the lifting cage can be locked by the lifting setter 114 to prevent it from sliding down due to gravity. The lifting brake 114 can fix and lock the lifting cage by means of a buckle or other fixing method. If the pile leg 113 is a cylindrical pile leg with a rack, the lifting brake 114 can also include a rack and pinion mechanism to complete the fixing function of the lifting cage.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 2 The lifting control cabinet 120 shown is also provided with a lifting electric control system. The power supply, control and sensor signals of the lifting device 110 on each pile leg 113 are connected to the lifting electric control system in the lifting control cabinet 120. The entire lifting electric control system can be composed of a central control station, a lifting control unit, field sensors and controlled devices. It is a field bus intelligent control system with a programmable logic controller (PLC) as the core. The lifting electric control system can accurately control, monitor and protect the lifting device 110. The lifting monitoring station 130 can be connected to the lifting electric control system in the lifting control cabinet 120 through a flexible seawater corrosion-resistant composite cable, and the power supply and control communication for the lifting device 110 are realized through the lifting electric control system. In addition, the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship can also have a human-machine interaction (Human Machine Interface, referred to as HMI) control interface. Through the HMI control interface, manual intelligent control of the rise and fall of the entire lifting cage can be realized. When the lifting operation is completed, the composite cable connected to the lifting control cabinet 120 can also be recovered to the cable winch of the guard ship for use in the next lifting operation.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 is arranged at the end of the pile leg 113 away from the seabed base surface, and the height of the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 is higher than the significant wave height. A lightning rod and a wireless bridge device can also be set on the mast at the top of the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220. Under normal aquaculture conditions, the main deck of the lifting cage is higher than the sea level. In self-storage conditions (abnormal aquaculture conditions preset in advance, such as typhoons), the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 arranged at the top of the pile leg 113 away from the seabed base surface is convenient for connecting with the cable on the guard ship, and can also facilitate data exchange and transmission through a wireless bridge. The cable from the monitoring equipment 210 to the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 can be installed on the pile leg in the form of a drag chain to avoid accidents caused by cable damage when the cage is raised or lowered.

[0043] In some embodiments, the total number of monitoring devices 210 can be Y, that is, the total number of all types of monitoring devices 210 is Y, where Y is a natural number. An in-cabinet data collector is set in the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 located at the top of the pile leg 113 away from the seabed base surface, and all equipment devices in the aquaculture area (i.e., Y monitoring devices 210) need to be connected to the in-cabinet data collector. The in-cabinet data collector is used to obtain the biomass values ​​collected by the Y monitoring devices 210. The biomass values ​​are used to characterize the biomass of the lifting cage and are transmitted to the aquaculture monitoring station 230 on the guard ship and the intelligent monitoring station 240 on the shore base.

[0044] In some embodiments, the data collector in the cabinet can also transmit the biomass value to the cloud computing platform, which analyzes and processes the data, and shares all data (i.e., biomass value) between the cages, guard ships, and the shore base through the intelligent monitoring station 240 set up on the shore base. The monitoring subsystem 200 can collect and store data such as aquaculture production process monitoring, fish status monitoring, sea area three-dimensional environment monitoring, equipment status, operation and maintenance, and security, build efficient analysis and decision-making, and solve the problems of excessive reliance on manual labor in aquaculture, lack of professional databases, knowledge bases, and inference machine guidance. Farmers can understand the operation and production of lifting cages at any time, find problems in time and take corresponding measures, thereby improving aquaculture efficiency and economic benefits.

[0045] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 210 includes: an above-water camera 211, an underwater camera 212, an underwater camera fill light 213, an underwater fish attracting light 214, a multi-parameter sensor 215, a biomass monitoring device 216, and a safety warning device 217. The monitoring device 210 is connected to the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 on the lifting cage through a power supply and a communication cable. At the same time, the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 can also process all data and transmit it to the guard ship and the shore-based aquaculture monitoring station through the wireless bridge on the lifting cage, thereby realizing the three-in-one real-time monitoring function of the lifting cage.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the safety warning device 217 is arranged at the location of the breeding monitoring cabinet 220, and can provide sound and light alarms in time.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the above-water camera 211 is arranged at the end of the pile leg of the lifting cage away from the seabed base surface, so as to facilitate observation of the above-water situation.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the underwater camera 212 can be set at the end of the pile leg of the lifting cage close to the seabed base, under the buoy of the lifting cage, and under the bracket of the lifting cage; the underwater camera fill light 213 is set adjacent to the underwater camera 212, and an underwater camera including the underwater camera fill light 213 can also be used. The underwater camera 212 can be connected to the cabinet data collector in the breeding monitoring cabinet 220 through a watertight composite cable. Through the underwater camera 212, the behavior of deep-sea farmed fish can be observed and analyzed, such as feed intake, swimming activity, etc., and accurate feeding can be performed according to the feeding behavior of fish to reduce breeding costs. At the same time, it is also possible to timely discover abnormal behaviors or disease symptoms of animals and take corresponding control and treatment measures in advance.

[0049] In some embodiments, the underwater fish attracting light 214 can be set under the buoy of the lifting cage (i.e., as described below). Figure 3 The multi-parameter sensor 215 is located at the position shown in the figure, and is used to feed and lure deep-sea farmed fish.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the multi-parameter sensor 215 can be set under the buoy of the lifting cage to monitor various indicators of deep-sea aquaculture water, such as temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the biomass monitoring device 216 can be set under the main deck walkway to obtain biomass information and fish movement status information. The biomass monitoring device 216 can use sonar detection to estimate the number and size of fish schools, and obtain fish distribution, number, activity trajectory, feeding behavior, and other biomass information and fish movement status information. The monitoring subsystem 200 collects these data and can realize data fitting analysis such as fish growth status, disease incidence, and breeding environment, and provide the best water environment parameters for breeding and fish breeding efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the control and monitoring system of the lifting cage provided by the present invention also includes a solar power generation subsystem 300, and the solar power generation subsystem 300 and the breeding monitoring cabinet 220 are arranged on the same pile leg.

[0053] In some embodiments, the solar power generation subsystem 300 includes a photovoltaic power generation system 310 and an energy storage system 320. The photovoltaic power generation system 310 may include a high-efficiency interactive back contact (IBC) component, and the energy storage system 320 may include a lithium battery, which supplies power to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220 through a DC power supply module.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system 310 meets the power supply of the breeding monitoring cabinet 220, for example, during the day, the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system 310 is sufficient to supply power to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220 and charge the energy storage system 320, the photovoltaic power generation system 310 provides power to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220. When the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system 310 does not meet the power supply of the breeding monitoring cabinet 220, for example, when the photovoltaic power generation system is shut down at night, or when the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system is very low on rainy days and cannot meet the load demand, the energy storage system 320 provides power to the breeding monitoring cabinet 220. The solar power generation subsystem can save electricity costs while meeting the monitoring function of the monitoring subsystem.

[0055] In order to better understand the control and monitoring system of the lifting cage provided by the embodiment of the present invention, an example is given below. Figure 5 As shown, the control and monitoring system of the lifting cage provided by the embodiment of the present invention is mainly divided into two parts.

[0056] (1) Intelligent control system for lifting device (i.e., the lifting subsystem 100 described above)

[0057] The lifting subsystem 100 mainly includes a cylindrical pile leg with a rack. Each pile leg is provided with a lifting motor 111, a lifting reducer 112, a lifting brake 114 and various sensors. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the power supply and communication cables of the lifting equipment 110 on all the pile legs need to be connected to the lifting control cabinet 120, and the lifting control cabinet 120 is connected to the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship through a flexible seawater-proof cable to realize power communication. When lifting operations are required, the lifting control cabinet 120 and the lifting monitoring station 130 are connected through flexible cables, so that the lifting and lowering of the lifting cage can be realized in the lifting monitoring station 130 on the guard ship. After the lifting operation is completed, the lifting subsystem needs to be locked to prevent it from sliding down due to gravity, and finally the cable is recovered to the guard ship for use in the next operation.

[0058] (2) Intelligent control system for aquaculture equipment (i.e., monitoring subsystem 200 described above)

[0059] The monitoring subsystem 200 mainly includes an above-water camera 211, an underwater camera 212, an underwater camera fill light 213, an underwater fish attracting light 214, a multi-parameter sensor 215, a biomass monitoring device 216, a safety warning device 217 and an intelligent monitoring station 240. The power supply and communication cable of the monitoring device 210 are connected to the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 on the net cage. After the aquaculture monitoring cabinet 220 processes the data monitored and / or collected by all the monitoring devices 210, it can transmit the data to the guard ship and the shore base through the wireless bridge device on the net cage by wireless transmission, so that either party can monitor the lifting net cage in real time. The monitoring subsystem 200 can also perform cloud computing on the collected data. The cloud computing platform analyzes and processes the data, and stores data such as aquaculture production process monitoring, fish status monitoring, sea area three-dimensional environment monitoring, equipment status, operation and maintenance, and security, so as to build efficient analysis and decision-making, and solve the problems of excessive reliance on manual labor, lack of professional databases, knowledge bases, and inference machine guidance in aquaculture. Farmers can understand the operation and production status of the lifting cages at any time, discover problems in time and take corresponding measures, thereby improving farming efficiency and economic benefits.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a lifting net cage, comprising: a lifting net cage body; a lifting net cage control and monitoring system, arranged on the lifting net cage body, and the lifting net cage control and monitoring system is the lifting net cage control and monitoring system described above.
