Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to an automated aquaculture management platform and method driven by ocean energy. Background Art

[0002] With the growing global demand for marine aquaculture, marine aquaculture has become an important part of the aquaculture industry. The existing marine aquaculture management platform relies on manual operation. Faced with the growing production demand, the efficiency and accuracy of manual intervention are gradually becoming insufficient. The existing aquaculture management platform mostly uses traditional methods such as artificial feeding and waste cleaning, which has many disadvantages.

[0003] First, the traditional artificial feeding method is difficult to achieve accurate quantitative feeding, which often leads to feed waste and uneven distribution, increasing resource consumption, and feed waste further aggravates water pollution. Secondly, waste treatment relies on manual or traditional mechanical equipment, which not only increases labor intensity, but also makes it difficult to clean up waste in time, affecting water quality and ecological environment. Finally, the instability of energy supply and the difficulty of sustainable management further limit the application and development of automation platforms.

[0043] 3.

[0062] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0063] See also Figures 1 to 9 , an automated aquaculture management platform driven by ocean energy according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises:

[0064] An offshore aquaculture base 1, which serves as a supporting carrier of the entire device, is provided with a supporting frame 2 on the top of the offshore aquaculture base 1, and a plurality of adjustable airbags 5 and a driver 3 are fixedly connected in sequence to the bottom of the offshore aquaculture base 1; specifically, the adjustable airbags 5 can adaptively adjust the buoyancy to ensure that the platform remains stable under different sea conditions; an automatic feeding component, which is installed on the top of the supporting frame 2, is used to achieve quantitative feeding; a farming component, which is installed on the bottom of the offshore aquaculture base 1, is used to provide a farming environment; a waste treatment component, which is installed on the side of the offshore aquaculture base 1, is used to treat aquaculture waste; a buffer component, which is installed on the outside of the offshore aquaculture base 1, is used to absorb wave impact.

[0065] Specifically, the adjustable airbag 5 adjusts the buoyancy by changing the volume of gas inside the airbag. The volume of gas in the airbag can be adjusted by inflation and deflation to achieve the purpose of controlling the buoyancy of the offshore aquaculture base 1. When inflated, the volume of the airbag increases, the buoyancy increases, and the buoyancy of the offshore aquaculture base 1 increases; when deflated, the volume of the airbag decreases, the buoyancy decreases, and the offshore aquaculture base 1 sinks or stabilizes at a specific depth. In this way, the airbag can adapt to the platform stability requirements under different sea conditions and ensure the stability of the offshore aquaculture base on the sea surface, especially under the influence of tidal changes and waves.

[0066] Specifically, the adjustable airbag is made of seawater corrosion-resistant materials, such as high-strength polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or rubber, which can effectively resist the corrosion of salt water and extend the service life. In addition, the adjustable airbag has an anti-ultraviolet function to cope with the problem of material aging caused by long-term sun exposure. In order to ensure the buoyancy adjustment of the airbag, the airbag is equipped with a gas inlet valve and an exhaust valve. By connecting to an air pump or an external air source, the amount of gas in the airbag is automatically adjusted to achieve buoyancy adjustment. The shape of the airbag is designed to be circular, elliptical or cylindrical, which can provide better stability and be installed in coordination with other parts of the offshore aquaculture base 1. The airbag can be divided into multiple independent air chambers to ensure that even if one of the air chambers is damaged, the other air chambers can still maintain the buoyancy of the offshore aquaculture base 1, thereby preventing the offshore aquaculture base 1 from tilting or overturning.

[0067] Specifically, the control system of the adjustable airbag 5 is composed of a sensor, a control system, and an automatic adjustment device (such as an air pump or an air source) as an actuator. The sensor monitors the buoyancy demand, inclination, and water surface changes of the offshore aquaculture base 1 in real time, and transmits the data to the control system. Based on these data, the control system automatically adjusts the inflation or deflation process of the airbag to ensure that the offshore aquaculture base 1 remains stable under different sea conditions. The control system controls the air pressure in the airbag through an automatic adjustment device (such as an air pump or an air source), and can adjust the buoyancy in real time according to environmental changes, thereby adapting to different marine conditions. This automatic adjustment function of the airbag enables the aquaculture management platform to remain stable in harsh marine environments, effectively improving the reliability and safety of the aquaculture system.

[0068] Specifically, the above-mentioned sensors include: one or more of a buoyancy sensor, an inclination sensor, and a wave sensor. The buoyancy sensor is used to monitor the buoyancy requirements of the platform in real time, and a water level sensor or a pressure sensor can be used. The water level sensor can calculate the buoyancy status of the airbag by detecting the change of the water level inside and outside the airbag. The pressure sensor can monitor the difference in air pressure inside and outside the airbag, thereby judging the degree of inflation of the airbag and helping the control system to determine whether the amount of gas needs to be increased or decreased. The inclination sensor (attitude sensor) is used to monitor the inclination of the offshore aquaculture base 1 to ensure that the offshore aquaculture base 1 can maintain a horizontal or stable state. The inclination sensor includes an accelerometer or a gyroscope sensor, which can detect the inclination changes of the offshore aquaculture base 1 in different directions. When the offshore aquaculture base 1 is unstable, the inclination sensor will feedback data in real time to trigger the adjustment of the control system. The wave sensor is used to monitor the fluctuations on the sea surface and evaluate the impact of waves on the offshore aquaculture base 1. They can predict the intensity and period of waves by measuring the changes in the water surface height. The control system determines how the airbag should adjust the buoyancy to adapt to the impact of waves based on these data.

[0069] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the automatic feeding component includes a storage box 701, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support frame 2, and a plurality of electric guide rails 702 are installed on the top of the support frame 2. The outer side of the electric guide rails 702 is connected to an electric turntable 703 through an electric slider, and a first driving arm 704 is installed on the top of the electric turntable 703. The outer side of the first driving arm 704 is rotatably installed with a first electric telescopic rod 705, and the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 705 is rotatably installed with a second driving arm 706, and the outer side of the second driving arm 706 is rotatably installed with a second electric telescopic rod 708, and the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 708 is rotatably connected with a mounting plate 707, and the inner side of the mounting plate 707 is fixedly connected with a third electric telescopic rod 710, and the outer side of the mounting plate 707 is rotatably connected with a plurality of clamping rods 709, and the inner side of the clamping rod 709 is rotatably connected with a clamping claw 711.

[0070] Specifically, the storage box 701 is used to store farmed food. The storage box 701 is made of corrosion-resistant materials to meet the requirements of long-term contact with food. The storage box 701 is installed on the outside of the support frame 2 by a fixed connection method. The support frame 2 provides stable support and ensures that the storage box 701 does not tilt or move during the entire feeding process.

[0071] The electric guide rail 702 can be electrically driven along its length direction, driving the electric slider to move along the track. The electric slider is connected to the electric turntable 703 through a transmission mechanism, and the movement direction of the electric slider can synchronously drive the electric turntable 703 to rotate. The main function of this part is to provide lateral and rotational movement capabilities, so that the farmed food can be accurately transferred from the storage box 701 to the target area. The electric turntable 703 is driven by the electric slider, and its rotation drives the first drive arm 704 connected thereto to work. The electric turntable 703 is installed on the outside of the electric slider, and the accurate positioning of the food is achieved through rotation, and power is provided for the subsequent drive arms. The main function of the first drive arm 704 is to adjust the position of the second drive arm 706 by driving the operation of the connected first electric telescopic rod 705, so that the feeding device can flexibly adjust its height, angle and other parameters to ensure that the food can be evenly distributed inside the multiple farming cages 6.

[0072] The first electric telescopic rod 705 is installed on the outside of the first driving arm 704, and drives the second driving arm 706 to swing through the telescopic effect. The swing angle of the second driving arm 706 is precisely controlled by the first electric telescopic rod 705. This design makes the movement of the entire automatic feeding assembly more flexible, and the distribution position and method of food can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0073] The third electric telescopic rod 710 is fixed on the inner side of the mounting plate 707, and drives the plurality of clamping rods 709 to swing through its telescopic action. The inner side of the clamping rod 709 is connected to the clamping claw 711 through rotation, and the movement direction and force of the two control the action of grabbing and releasing food. Through the coordinated work of the third electric telescopic rod 710 and the clamping rod 709, the clamping claw 711 can quickly and accurately grab the cultured food in the storage box 701 and accurately put it into the culture cage 6.

[0074] Through this automatic feeding component, the automatic grabbing, distribution and delivery of farmed food can be achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving feeding efficiency.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aquaculture assembly includes a plurality of aquaculture cages 6, which are detachably connected to the bottom of the offshore aquaculture base 1, and an automatic oxygenation device is installed inside the aquaculture cages 6.

[0076] The automatic oxygenation device includes multiple components to ensure that the water in the aquaculture cage 6 always maintains a sufficient dissolved oxygen concentration. Specifically, the automatic oxygenation device includes an underwater pump, an oxygen diffuser, a dissolved oxygen sensor, an intelligent control module, an oxygen supply pipeline and an external oxygen source.

[0077] The underwater pump is installed at the bottom of the aquaculture cage 6 and driven by a motor to force the water around the aquaculture cage 6 to circulate to ensure that the oxygen and nutrients in the water are evenly distributed. The underwater pump draws water from the bottom of the aquaculture cage 6 through the water inlet and returns the water to the aquaculture cage 6 through the water outlet, forming a water flow cycle.

[0078] The oxygen diffuser is made of porous ceramic or microporous membrane material and is installed near the underwater pump, at the bottom of the aquaculture cage 6 or in the water flow channel. Its main function is to dissolve the compressed oxygen into the water evenly in the form of fine bubbles. The shape of the oxygen diffuser is circular or porous tubular, and its microporous design can improve the dissolution efficiency of oxygen. The oxygen diffuser is connected to an external oxygen source through an oxygen supply pipeline.

[0079] The dissolved oxygen sensor is installed at a suitable position of the aquaculture cage 6 (e.g., an area with relatively stable water flow) to monitor the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water in real time and transmit the dissolved oxygen concentration data to the intelligent control module. When the dissolved oxygen concentration is lower than the preset threshold, the intelligent control module receives these data and automatically starts the underwater pump and the external oxygen source according to the preset logic to ensure that the oxygen concentration in the water returns to the ideal range or the target range.

[0080] The intelligent control module is arranged outside the breeding cage 6 (for example, in a protective box on the side or above the cage) to avoid contact with water. The intelligent control module obtains the oxygen content of the water body in real time through the dissolved oxygen sensor, and decides whether to start or adjust the operation of the underwater pump, the external oxygen source and the oxygen diffuser based on these data. When the dissolved oxygen in the water body is lower than the set threshold, the intelligent control module will send an instruction to start the underwater pump, and increase the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water body by controlling the opening of the external oxygen source. The intelligent control module is electrically connected to the external oxygen source to control the start and close of the external oxygen source, thereby ensuring a continuous supply of compressed oxygen. The intelligent control module controls the solenoid valve or airflow regulating device of the external oxygen source (oxygen cylinder or oxygen generator) through an electrical signal to open the oxygen flow path, thereby indirectly controlling the oxygen diffuser. The opening of the external oxygen source allows oxygen to flow into the diffuser, and the oxygen diffuser disperses the oxygen into fine bubbles and releases it into the water through its micropores or ceramic materials.

[0081] The external oxygen source, which may be an oxygen cylinder or an oxygen generator, is used to provide compressed oxygen and is arranged outside the culture cage 6 (e.g., the edge of the platform), away from the water body. The oxygen source delivers compressed oxygen to the oxygen diffuser through an oxygen supply pipeline to ensure that the oxygen can be effectively dissolved into the water. The electrical connection between the intelligent control module and the external oxygen source can control the opening and closing of the oxygen source. As needed, the intelligent control module can enable or disable the external oxygen source to ensure that the system only provides oxygen when needed, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption or excessive supply of oxygen.

[0082] The oxygen supply pipeline is connected to the external oxygen source and the oxygen diffuser, and is used to transport compressed oxygen to the oxygen diffuser, and the oxygen diffuser releases the oxygen into the water in the form of fine bubbles.

[0083] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the waste treatment component includes a plurality of underwater manipulators 803, and the plurality of underwater manipulators 803 are installed on the outside of the offshore aquaculture base 1. Two treatment boxes 801 are fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 2. A filter screen 802 is detachably connected to the inside of the treatment box 801. A bioreactor is installed inside the treatment box 801, and the bioreactor is used to degrade waste.

[0084] Specifically, a filter screen 802 is provided in the processing box 801. The function of the filter screen 802 is to filter solid particles or impurities in the waste, ensure that the waste can be initially filtered, remove larger particles or impurities, and improve the effect of subsequent processing.

[0085] A bioreactor is installed inside the treatment box 801. The bioreactor is used to degrade waste, especially organic waste. It converts waste into harmless substances or substances that can be further processed by the natural environment through biological degradation. The bioreactor degrades waste through microorganisms or other biological processes, thereby reducing the pollution of waste to the water environment.

[0086] Specifically, the bioreactor is integrated into the marine aquaculture base 1 and combined with underwater manipulators, filter screens and other systems to achieve automated waste treatment. This enables the bioreactor to process organic waste generated during the marine aquaculture process in real time and efficiently, such as fish excrement, uneaten feed, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, the microbial community in the bioreactor is combined with a biocatalyst, which can accelerate the decomposition rate of the waste, especially when there is a large amount of high-concentration waste (such as fish excrement or uneaten feed), the waste concentration can be quickly reduced to avoid eutrophication of the water body. Biocatalysts refer to natural enzymes or other active substances that can accelerate biochemical reactions. In the process of waste degradation, biocatalysts include cellulases, proteases, lipases and amino acid deaminases. Cellulases can decompose plant organic matter, which is beneficial for degrading plant residues produced in aquaculture. Proteases are used to decompose proteins in fish excrement or uneaten feed, which helps to degrade protein-rich waste. Lipase degrades oily waste in feed to reduce the impact of oil on the environment. Amino acid deaminases help to degrade waste containing ammonia nitrogen, thereby reducing the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the water body and reducing the risk of eutrophication.

[0088] In some embodiments, the bioreactor is equipped with intelligent sensors that can monitor the progress of waste degradation and water quality (e.g., pH value, ammonia nitrogen concentration, dissolved oxygen, etc.) in real time, and automatically adjust the activity of the microbial community according to real-time data. This system can also adjust the environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, oxygen supply, etc.) in the bioreactor through a feedback control mechanism to maximize the degradation efficiency of the microorganisms. Specifically, the activity regulation of the microbial community in the bioreactor is achieved through one or more automatic control systems. The dissolved oxygen control system automatically adjusts the oxygen supply system (e.g., automatic oxygenation device) by real-time monitoring of the oxygen concentration in the water to ensure that the microorganisms can work efficiently in an environment with sufficient oxygen. When the waste concentration is high, the control system will increase the oxygen supply and promote the activity of aerobic microorganisms. The temperature control system optimizes the metabolic activity of microorganisms by adjusting the water temperature. At higher temperatures, the degradation rate of microorganisms is faster. The pH adjustment control system maintains the optimal active environment of microorganisms by adjusting the pH value of the water body according to the needs of the microbial community. For example, when the degradation efficiency of the microorganism is reduced, the pH adjustment control system will automatically adjust the pH value of the water body and optimize the reaction conditions to improve the degradation efficiency.

[0089] In some embodiments, the bioreactor uses a multi-stage degradation process, using different biodegradation stages for treatment according to the complexity of the waste. The primary stage quickly decomposes large particles of waste, the secondary stage focuses on decomposing complex organic matter, and finally the microorganisms further digest those difficult-to-decompose residues. This multi-stage reaction ensures the complete transformation of the waste and reduces the harm of intermediate products to the environment.

[0090] like Figure 6 As shown, the buffer assembly includes a plurality of fixed plates 401, and the plurality of fixed plates 401 are fixedly connected to the outside of the offshore aquaculture base 1, and two swing rods 403 are slidably installed on the outside of the fixed plate 401, and the end of the swing rod 403 is rotatably installed with a buffer plate 402, and the inner side of the swing rod 403 is hinged with a telescopic sleeve 404, and the outer side of the telescopic sleeve 404 is sleeved with a spring 405. The other end of the telescopic sleeve 404 is rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed plate 401, one end of the spring 405 is fixedly connected to the swing rod 403, and the other end of the spring 405 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed plate 401.

[0091] Specifically, when the impact force of the waves contacts the buffer plate 402, the buffer plate 402 transmits the impact force of the waves to the swing rod 403. At this time, one end of the swing rod 403 swings and starts to move.

[0092] During the movement, the swing arm 403 transmits the impact force to the telescopic sleeve 404 through the hinge device. Under the traction of the swing arm 403, the telescopic sleeve 404 and the spring 405 begin to be compressed. The compression process of the spring 405 converts the impact force of the waves into the elastic potential energy of the spring 405. The compression of the spring 405 absorbs the energy of the impact force and stores part of the energy as elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the spring 405 will restore its original shape and drive the system to reset. The telescopic sleeve 404 also returns to its initial state under the action of the spring 405, ready to meet the next impact. Through the above energy conversion process, the buffer assembly can effectively reduce the direct impact of the wave impact, reduce the pressure on the platform, and improve the overall stability of the platform, enhance the ability to resist wind and waves,

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, further, the ocean energy driven automated aquaculture management platform also includes the following modules:

[0094] The ocean energy conversion module is used to generate electricity from the natural energy in the ocean, providing continuous energy support for the offshore aquaculture base 1.

[0095] Specifically, the marine energy conversion module is mainly designed to convert natural energy in the ocean, such as tidal energy, wave energy and ocean current energy, into electrical energy, providing sustainable and green energy support for the offshore aquaculture base 1. The module can efficiently capture energy from the marine environment and convert the captured mechanical energy into electrical energy through a power conversion system, ensuring that the various equipment and systems of the offshore aquaculture base 1 can continue to operate, reducing dependence on traditional energy, and achieving environmental protection and energy saving. The module has high reliability and stability, adapts to extreme marine environments, and ensures the continuity and stability of the platform's energy supply.

[0096] like Figure 8 As shown, the ocean energy conversion module may include the following units:

[0097] The energy capture unit is used to capture the energy of tidal energy, wave energy and ocean current energy; specifically, the energy capture unit can capture tidal energy, wave energy and ocean current energy and convert them into mechanical motion. This process is achieved through an energy capture device, which can automatically adjust according to changes in the ocean environment to maximize energy capture. The energy capture unit includes floating devices, wave converters, ocean current turbines and other equipment, which can effectively convert the mechanical energy of ocean motion into the kinetic energy required by the drive device, providing an energy source for the subsequent power conversion unit.

[0098] The power conversion unit is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy; specifically, the power conversion unit includes a generator, a gear device and a speed change mechanism, etc. The movement of the mechanical device drives the generator to rotate to generate electrical energy.

[0099] The control and monitoring unit is used to monitor the working status of the ocean energy conversion module in real time and perform fault detection.

[0100] Specifically, through sensors and data acquisition devices, the control and monitoring unit can track the operation of the energy capture unit and the power conversion unit in real time, and automatically issue fault alarms or adjustments to ensure efficient and stable operation of the system. The control and monitoring unit is also used to manage and regulate the generated electrical energy to ensure the quality and stability of the electrical energy output, while providing detailed operating data and reports for maintenance personnel to conduct subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0101] Environmental monitoring module, used to monitor real-time working parameters in the breeding environment;

[0102] Automated farming management module, used to adjust farming conditions based on real-time operating parameters obtained from environmental monitoring simulations;

[0103] Specifically, the automated breeding management module automatically adjusts the breeding conditions, such as water temperature, oxygen supply, light intensity, feed delivery, etc., according to the real-time working parameters provided by the environmental monitoring module. Through data analysis algorithms (such as PID control algorithms, machine learning algorithms, etc.) and intelligent control systems, the automated breeding management module can automatically optimize the breeding environment without human intervention, improve breeding benefits, and reduce labor costs in the breeding process. The PID control algorithm (proportional-integral-differential control algorithm) is used to dynamically adjust the continuous process parameters (such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, etc.) in the system, and through the feedback mechanism, ensure that the breeding environment conditions are always maintained in the best state. Machine learning algorithms (such as regression analysis, decision trees, neural networks, etc.) can learn the laws of the breeding environment based on historical data, predict environmental changes and make intelligent adjustments. The intelligent control system interacts with the data of the environmental monitoring module in real time, and automatically controls related equipment (such as automatic oxygenation devices, temperature control equipment, automatic feeding components, etc.) according to specific environmental changes (such as temperature increase, lack of oxygen, etc.) to ensure that the breeding environment is always maintained in an appropriate range.

[0104] In addition, the automated breeding management module can make dynamic adjustments based on changes in environmental data to ensure that the breeding environment remains in optimal condition in different seasons and weather conditions, thereby improving the sustainability and efficiency of breeding.

[0105] The remote monitoring and management module is used to enable the management personnel of the aquaculture management platform to remotely monitor the status of the aquaculture area and to view and / or manage the aquaculture environment, the operation status of the aquaculture management platform and the health of the aquatic organisms in real time. The aquaculture area corresponds to one or more aquaculture cages 6.

[0106] Specifically, the remote monitoring and management module enables managers of the offshore aquaculture base 1 to monitor the status of the aquaculture area in real time at a remote location. Through wireless communication technology, managers can remotely view key data such as the aquaculture environment, equipment operating status, and biological health. The remote monitoring and management module can provide real-time video monitoring, equipment health reports, aquaculture environment analysis and other functions, allowing managers to discover problems in a timely manner and make adjustments or repairs. In addition, the remote control function of the remote monitoring and management module can help managers remotely operate platform equipment, adjust system settings, etc., thereby improving management efficiency and emergency response capabilities.

[0107] The safety assurance and protection module is used to ensure the stability and safety of the platform in extreme marine environments and prevent equipment failure, equipment damage or marine disasters.

[0108] Specifically, the safety assurance and protection module helps to ensure the stability and safety of the platform in extreme marine environments, and prevent accidents such as equipment failure, equipment damage, or marine disasters. The safety assurance and protection module includes a variety of safety protection measures, such as wind and wave protection design, the use of anti-corrosion materials, automatic alarm for equipment failure, lightning protection system, etc. It can ensure the normal operation of platform equipment under extreme weather conditions such as storms, huge waves, and marine disasters, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the platform. In addition, the safety assurance and protection module can also respond to early warnings of marine disasters, and reduce the losses and impacts caused by disasters by early warnings and taking protective measures.

[0109] like Fig. 9 As shown, the security assurance and protection module may specifically include one or more of the following units:

[0110] Storm and disaster warning unit, used to monitor weather changes in real time, detect extreme weather events in advance and provide early warnings to the breeding management platform to facilitate the adoption of protective measures;

[0111] Equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit, which uses sensors and intelligent algorithms to monitor the operating status of each component in the farming management platform in real time, such as vibration, temperature, pressure, current, etc., to promptly detect equipment or component failures and issue early warning signals to avoid large-scale system failures;

[0112] The stability assurance unit is used to ensure that the aquaculture management platform will not shift due to seabed activities or water currents.

[0113] Specifically, the stability assurance unit may adopt one or more of the following:

[0114] Anchoring system, which fixes the offshore aquaculture base to the seabed to prevent the platform from being displaced by seabed activities or water flow. Anchoring systems include sinking anchors, grappling anchors, and fixed ropes or chains. Sinking anchors fix the platform with weights or heavy anchor blocks, which can effectively cope with the impact of water flow and seabed activities. Gripping anchors use the gripping power of anchors to fix the platform to the seabed, which is suitable for different seabed conditions. Fixed ropes or chains connect the platform to the anchor point with durable materials, and can adjust the length and tension as needed to provide additional stability.

[0115] The current regulation system is equipped with a current regulation system to cope with the influence of tides, currents, wind and waves. The current regulation system resists the effect of water flow by adjusting the platform posture or using underwater rudders, balance boards and other equipment. The current regulation system is driven by electricity or hydraulics and can automatically adjust the working state of the equipment according to the real-time monitored current changes, thereby effectively maintaining the stability of the aquaculture management platform.

[0116] The buoyancy adjustment system maintains the stability of the platform by adjusting the buoyancy of the adjustable airbag or float at the bottom of the offshore aquaculture base. By increasing or decreasing the amount of gas in the airbag, the buoyancy of the platform can be adjusted to ensure that the platform always maintains balance during tidal or current changes. The buoyancy adjustment system can respond to changes in ocean currents and seabed activities in real time to ensure the stability of the platform in different hydrological environments.

[0117] Dynamic monitoring and feedback control system, equipped with sensors (tilt sensor, acceleration sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), can monitor the platform's posture, tilt angle and water flow intensity in real time. Stability protection measures are automatically adjusted according to real-time monitoring data. If the platform detects instability or tilt, the control system will automatically adjust the buoyancy, anchoring system or other adjustment systems to ensure that the platform remains stable.

[0118] Specifically, the equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit uses multiple sensors to monitor the operating status of various types of equipment in the offshore aquaculture base in real time. The key parameters monitored by the sensors include temperature, humidity, current, voltage, vibration, pressure and flow rate. The sensors installed on key equipment can sense the operating status of the equipment in real time and detect abnormal changes in time. For example, when the temperature of the equipment is too high or the current fluctuates, the sensor will immediately feedback data to the monitoring system, providing a basis for fault warning.

[0119] Specifically, the equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit uses intelligent algorithms, such as machine learning algorithms (support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, and neural networks, etc.) or data analysis algorithms (regression analysis, cluster analysis, time series analysis, etc.) to perform real-time analysis on data collected by multiple sensors. The intelligent algorithm compares the normal working mode of the equipment with historical data to identify the current equipment status and determine whether there are signs of faults. Through in-depth analysis of equipment operation data, the algorithm can identify anomalies and predict the occurrence of potential faults. It can accurately determine which parameters deviate from the normal range and make corresponding fault diagnosis based on the characteristics of the equipment.

[0120] Specifically, when an abnormality is detected in the equipment, the equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit will automatically trigger an early warning and promptly notify the platform management personnel to conduct inspection and maintenance. The early warning signal is sent through the remote monitoring system to remind the staff to take emergency measures. The equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit also has a self-diagnosis function, which can automatically analyze and locate the cause of the fault based on real-time data and historical equipment operation data.

[0121] Specifically, the equipment fault monitoring and self-diagnosis unit also has the function of fault history recording and maintenance suggestion. The system will record the detailed data of each fault and maintenance for management personnel to analyze the operation trend of the equipment. Based on these historical data, the system can provide optimized maintenance suggestions and guide staff on how to perform preventive maintenance to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0122] like Fig.10 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a working method of an automated aquaculture management platform driven by ocean energy, which includes the following steps:

[0123] S10: Using the adjustable airbag 5 and the driver 3 to adjust the position and stability of the offshore aquaculture base 1;

[0124] S20: quantitative feeding is achieved for the cultured objects through the automatic feeding assembly installed on the top of the support frame 2;

[0125] S30: In the aquaculture component at the bottom of the offshore aquaculture base 1, a living environment is provided for the aquaculture objects by adjusting at least one parameter among water quality, temperature and oxygen;

[0126] S40: using a waste treatment component installed on the side of the offshore aquaculture base 1 to collect and treat aquaculture waste generated during the aquaculture process in real time, and to treat the aquaculture waste;

[0127] S50: The impact force of ocean waves is absorbed and dispersed by the buffer component installed on the outer side of the offshore aquaculture base 1.

[0128] Furthermore, in step S10, the aquaculture management platform generates electricity from the natural energy in the ocean through the ocean energy conversion module to provide continuous energy support for the offshore aquaculture base 1, and then fixes the aquaculture management platform on the sea level through an anchoring device.

[0129] Further, in step S20, the electric guide rail 702 is started to drive the electric slider to move, thereby driving the electric turntable 703 to move synchronously, the first electric telescopic rod 705 is started to drive one end of the second driving arm 706 to swing, the second electric telescopic rod 708 is started to drive the mounting plate 707 to swing up and down, and the third electric telescopic rod 710 is started to drive the multiple clamping rods 709 to swing. Under the action of the traction force of the clamping rods 709, the clamping claws 711 are driven inward, and the farmed food inside the storage box 701 is grabbed by the clamping claws 711, and then the farmed food is scattered inside the multiple farm cages 6, thereby realizing the function of automatic feeding.

[0130] Furthermore, in step S40, the waste generated during the breeding process is grabbed by the underwater manipulator 803, and the grabbed waste is placed on the processing box 801. After the solid waste is filtered through the filter net 802, the remaining waste is concentrated in the processing tank inside the processing box 801, and the equipped bioreactor processes the waste to avoid the spread of pollution in the breeding area.

[0131] Furthermore, in step S50, when the aquaculture management platform is hit by waves, the impact force generated by the waves will contact the outer surface of the buffer plate 402. At this time, one end of the swing rod 403 swings. Under the traction force of the swing rod 403, the telescopic sleeve 404 and the spring 405 are compressed, and the impact force is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring 405 for energy consumption, thereby enhancing the wind and wave resistance of the aquaculture management platform.

[0132] 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.
