The positional relationships described in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments, but it shall not be used as a basis for limiting the present invention.

[0036] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, an integrated system of an offshore living platform and an offshore ranch includes an offshore jacket foundation 4 and an offshore platform on top of the offshore jacket foundation 4. A living quarters area 1 and an offshore ranch quarters area 2 are arranged inside the offshore platform. An automatic bait feeding device is arranged inside the offshore ranch quarters area 2. The automatic bait feeding device includes a bait discharging pipe 5 extending downward from the offshore platform. The offshore jacket foundation 4 is connected with fishing nets 6 on both the side and the bottom. Multiple fishing nets 6 enclose to form a breeding space, effectively utilizing the middle space of the original offshore jacket foundation and improving the utilization rate of the underwater space. Moreover, the outlet of the bait discharging pipe 5 is located inside the breeding space. The top of the bait discharging pipe 5 is connected with a feeding hopper 22 in the offshore ranch quarters, and the bottom is located below the water surface, which can effectively send the bait into the breeding space to ensure the feeding of the cultured fish bodies and provide great convenience for the offshore ranch breeding.

[0037] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the automatic bait feeding device includes a transportation pipeline 29. A Roots blower 21, an air cooler 25, a bait tank 23, a distributor assembly 27, and a feeding hopper 22 are sequentially arranged on the transportation pipeline 29. The bottom of the feeding hopper 22 is connected with the bait discharging pipe 5.

[0038] A plurality of feeding hoppers 22 are provided. A bait discharging pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of each feeding hopper 22. The distributor assembly 27 is provided with a plurality of discharge ports. Each discharge port is connected to the corresponding feeding hopper 5 through an independent transportation sub-pipeline 291.

[0039] Among them, the Roots blower 21 provides power for the transportation of the bait in the transportation pipeline 29, ensuring the transportation of the bait between the feeding hopper and the bait tank and providing great convenience for the feeding of the cultured fish bodies. A level sensor is arranged inside the bait tank 23. When the feed capacity is lower than the lower limit, an alarm is issued, and the feeding equipment automatically stops and cannot be started. To ensure the freshness preservation effect of the feed in the bait tank 23, the bait tank 23 is equipped with a temperature and humidity control unit to keep the temperature and humidity inside the bait tank 23 within an appropriate range to prevent the bait from getting damp or deteriorating.

[0040] Multiple fish tanks can be arranged in the aquaculture space to breed different species of fish. The discharge port of each bait feeding pipe 5 corresponds to a different aquaculture fish tank. The dispenser assembly 27 can sequentially distribute the feed in the bait tank 23 to the corresponding transportation sub-pipes 291 to ensure the output of the corresponding feeding hopper 22. This design realizes the differential feeding management of multiple varieties. Through the timed, quantitative, and directional distribution mechanism, it not only avoids the cross-contamination of feeds for different fish species but also can dynamically adjust the feeding ratio according to the biomass of each aquaculture tank, reducing feed loss. This equipment can enable multiple fish tanks to share a set of feeding systems and also provides a convenient access passage for the maintenance of the system pipeline. The air cooler 25 is used to adjust the temperature inside the transportation pipeline 29 to ensure the quality of the bait transported through the pipeline and improve the quality of the aquaculture fish. A valve 30 is provided on the transportation pipeline 29 to control the opening and closing of the air cooler 25.

[0041] A bait storage area 28 and an electric control cabinet 26 are arranged in the marine ranch housing area 2. The electric control cabinet 26 is connected to the automatic bait feeding device through a bus and is signal-connected to the onshore aquaculture server. Among them, the electric control cabinet 26 is used to control the coordinated operation of each part of the feeding system, realize different feeding modes, execute the feeding task, ensure the overall aquaculture efficiency and quality, and improve the aquaculture benefit. The electric control cabinet 26 is connected to the Roots blower 21, the air cooler 25, the bait tank 23, and the dispenser assembly 27 through a bus. It can customarily set the feeding period, feeding weight, and feeding times, display the current remaining bait amount, the current feeding amount, the material number, and the equipment operation status, and realize timed, fixed-point, and quantitative feeding. The bait storage area 28 is the storage area for the food of the aquaculture fish, effectively reducing the frequency of transporting bait between land and sea and providing great convenience for marine ranch aquaculture.

[0042] A constant temperature and humidity system 24 is arranged in the marine ranch housing area 2. Among them, the constant temperature and humidity system 24 is used to control the temperature and humidity of the overall marine ranch housing area to ensure the normal operation of the marine ranch equipment and the storage of bait.

[0043] A crane 3 is arranged on one side of the marine ranch housing area 2 on the offshore platform. The crane is arranged next to the bait storage area in the marine ranch housing area, facilitating the transportation of bait and other facilities.

[0044] As Figure 4 shown, the jacket foundation 4 includes multiple main legs 41. A horizontal brace 42 and a diagonal brace 43 are connected between two adjacent main legs 41. The netting 6 is connected to the main legs 41, the horizontal brace 42, and the diagonal brace 43 of the jacket foundation 4 through a fixing structure 7.

[0045] As Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, long pipe connectors 73 are connected to the main legs 41, horizontal braces 42 and diagonal braces 43. The main legs 41, horizontal braces 42 and diagonal braces 43 are respectively connected to the corresponding long pipe connectors 73 through short pipe connectors 74. The edge of the netting 6 is tied and fixed to the long pipe connectors 73, so that the whole netting 6 adheres to the jacket foundation 4. In this embodiment, the long pipe connectors 73 and short pipe connectors 74 can be made of long round steel and short round steel respectively, and the long round steel and short round steel, and the short round steel and the jacket foundation 4 are welded together.

[0046] A plurality of fixing members 72 are arranged at intervals on the main legs 41, horizontal braces 42 and diagonal braces 43. Connecting ropes 71 are arranged longitudinally and transversely through the netting 6, and both ends of the connecting ropes 71 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixing members 72. In this embodiment, the connecting ropes 71 can be made of steel ropes. Arranging the connecting ropes 71 through the netting 6 can improve the resistance of the netting 6 to the action of water flow and reduce the damage rate of the netting 6.

[0047] The bottom of the netting 6 connected to the bottom of the offshore jacket foundation 4 is suspended and is set 3 m above the mud surface, effectively preventing the friction between the netting and the mud surface, reducing the damage rate of the netting 6 at the bottom of the jacket foundation 4, and at the same time facilitating the discharge of fish feces under the action of water body movement, effectively ensuring the quality of the aquaculture water body, improving the survival rate and quality of the cultured fish, and guaranteeing the benefits of the marine ranch.
