Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine aquaculture equipment, specifically a button-type quick loading and unloading structure for kelp seedling ropes with a locking function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, my country's kelp raft aquaculture model mainly uses seedling ropes for kelp planting. The seedling ropes are connected to small hanging ropes on a main rope by manual knotting. When harvesting the kelp, the hanging ropes need to be untied from the seedling ropes. Traditional seedling rope loading and unloading methods are mostly manual, which is difficult, inefficient, and labor-intensive, and can easily lead to operational risks in the harsh marine environment. To shorten working hours, many workers even choose to cut the small hanging ropes directly, causing pollution and waste to the environment and resources. While some existing mechanized loading and unloading devices have improved efficiency, they suffer from problems such as complex operation and susceptibility to damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient and fast seedling rope loading and unloading mechanism to meet the actual needs of kelp aquaculture. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to address the technical deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a button-type quick loading and unloading structure for kelp seedling ropes with a locking function. This solves the technical problems of low efficiency, complex operation, and easy damage in the loading and unloading process of conventional suspension and fixing structures used in kelp farming.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A button-type quick-release structure for kelp seedling rope with locking function includes a housing, a button, a buckle, a through hole, and an arc-shaped groove. The housing has a through hole and an arc-shaped groove on its upper and lower sides, respectively. The housing has a buckle mounting point, which is rotatably connected to the housing. The buckle is positioned at the end of the arc-shaped groove. A torsion spring mounting post is located at the rotatably connected position, and a torsion spring is mounted on the torsion spring mounting post. A torsion spring limiting groove is provided on the outer periphery of the torsion spring mounting post to limit the position of the torsion spring. A button hole is provided along the axial direction, and the button is inserted into the button hole. A button positioning groove is provided on the outer periphery of the button hole. A latch limiting groove is provided on the outer periphery of the torsion spring limiting groove and the button positioning groove to limit the opening and closing position of the latch. The button passes through the button mounting hole in the latch and the button hole on the housing, and the button protrusion on the button mates with the button limiting groove on the latch and the button positioning groove on the housing. The concave structure of the torsion spring is locked in the torsion spring slot in the button. The convex structure of the torsion spring mates with the torsion spring limiting groove inside the housing.

[0006] Preferably, the housing comprises a first half-shell and a second half-shell that are fixed to each other.

[0007] Preferably, the torsion spring mounting post is located on the first half-shell, the torsion spring limiting groove is located inside the first half-shell, the button hole is located on the second half-shell, and the button positioning groove is located on the second half-shell.

[0008] Preferably, the first half-shell is provided with a number of protruding connecting posts, and the second half-shell is provided with a number of inward grooves, with the protruding connecting posts and the inward grooves being inserted into each other.

[0009] Preferably, a hanging rope is threaded through the through hole, and a seedling rope is threaded through the arc-shaped groove.

[0010] Preferably, the latch has trapezoidal protrusions on both sides, which respectively cooperate with the first half shell and the second half shell.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the arc-shaped groove is 1.3 to 1.5 times the width of the seedling rope.

[0012] All parts of the structure of this invention should be made of corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to long-term use in marine environments. This is hereby stated.

[0013] This invention provides a button-type quick-release structure for kelp seedling ropes with a locking function. The technical solution utilizes through holes and arc-shaped grooves on the shell to connect the lifting rope and the seedling rope respectively. The seedling rope located in the arc-shaped groove is restrained by a latch at the end of the groove and does not separate from the shell. Based on this, an opening and closing mechanism for the latch is constructed, with a torsion spring providing elasticity and a button for axial feed triggering control. This invention enables quick loading / unloading of the seedling rope through the opening and closing of the latch, eliminating the need for the seedling rope to be knotted to the lifting rope, greatly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the modular design facilitates easy maintenance. This structure can be widely applied to kelp, laver, and other marine algae cultivation operations, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention can be summarized as follows:

[0015] Quick loading and unloading: Pressing the button triggers the locking mechanism to quickly load and unload the seedling rope.

[0016] Modular structure: Facilitates device maintenance and replacement, reducing long-term operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0034] A button-type quick-release structure for kelp seedling ropes with locking function, such as Figures 1-14As shown, it includes: a housing 1, a button 2, a latch 3, a through hole 4, and an arc-shaped groove 5. The housing 1 is divided into two parts, a first half-shell 101 and a second half-shell 102, for supporting and protecting the internal structure. The through hole 4 is at the top of the housing 1 for connecting the hanging rope 7. The button hole 15 is located at the top of the housing 1 for installing the button 2. The arc-shaped groove 5 is at the bottom of the housing 1 for attaching the seedling rope 8. The latch limiting groove 10 is inside the housing 1 for limiting the opening and closing position of the latch 3. The latch mounting point 11 is inside the housing 1 for installing the latch 3. The torsion spring mounting post 13 is in the first half-shell 101 for installing the torsion spring 22. The torsion spring limiting groove 9 is used to limit the position of the torsion spring 22.

[0035] When the latch 3 is installed, it engages with the latch mounting point 11 in the second half shell 102, and then the button 2 engages with the latch 3.

[0036] The button 2 passes through the button mounting hole 17 in the latch 3 and the button hole 15 on the second half shell 102, so that the button protrusion 20 on the button 2 cooperates with the button limiting groove 19 on the latch 3 and the button positioning groove 14 on the second half shell 102.

[0037] After the latch 3 engages with the button 2, the concave structure 24 of the torsion spring 22 is then engaged in the torsion spring slot 21 of the button 2, thereby limiting the position of the torsion spring.

[0038] After the concave structure 24 of the torsion spring is engaged in the torsion spring slot 21, the torsion spring mounting post 13 in the first half-shell 101 is passed through the torsion spring 22, and then the torsion spring convex structure 23 in the torsion spring 22 is engaged with the torsion spring limiting groove 9 inside the first half-shell 101. Finally, the first half-shell 101 is rotated 360° counterclockwise, and the four convex connecting posts 12 in the first half-shell 101 are engaged with the four inner grooves 16 in the second half-shell 102.

[0039] The trapezoidal protrusion 18 on the latch 3 cooperates with the first half shell 101 and the second half shell 102.

[0040] The width of the arc-shaped groove 5 is equal to 1.3 to 1.5 times the width of the seedling rope, so as to ensure that the seedling rope 8 can be smoothly unloaded from it under complex sea conditions.

[0041] When using this invention, the user presses a button, which, when pressed down, opens the locking device and releases the seedling rope.

[0042] This invention is particularly suitable for the efficient and automated operation of seedling ropes in raft aquaculture, and is also applicable to the cultivation of various marine algae such as kelp and laver. It can also be used for hanging operations in aquaculture, and has a wide range of applications.
