Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that for the orientation description, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., it is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "several" is one or more, the meaning of "multiple" is more than two, and understandings such as "greater than", "less than", "exceeding", etc. do not include the present number, and understandings such as "above", "below", "within", etc. include the present number. If there is a description of "first" and "second", it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as "set", "installed", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0022] In the field of aquaculture, especially in the aquaculture practice of shellfish such as oysters, it is mainly carried out by means of attaching culture piles, bottom-sowing substrates or mesh bags. The cultured shellfish are attached to the culture piles or bottom-sowing substrates, and then these culture piles or bottom-sowing substrates carrying the cultured shellfish are placed in the culture water area; or the cultured shellfish are wrapped in mesh bags and put into the culture water area, so that the cultured shellfish filter and feed on plankton and organic matter in the water to grow, so as to achieve large-scale and intensive aquaculture. Specifically, the bottom-sowing substrate can be components such as mud boards, reefs, cement, ceramics, etc. The culture piles or bottom-sowing substrates, as the carriers for shellfish attachment, have a relatively limited surface area. In addition, the layout density in the culture water area is restricted by the physical space, which limits the upper limit of the number of shellfish cultured per unit area, and thus affects the further improvement of the aquaculture yield.

[0023] Secondly, the shellfish are fixed at specific positions in the culture water area during the culture process. This static growth environment limits the water area where the shellfish can filter and feed on plankton and organic matter in the water, resulting in limited ability of the shellfish to obtain nutrients. Moreover, the addition of nutrients mainly depends on manual sprinkling. This feeding mode is not only inefficient, but also easily leads to the deposition of nutrients at the bottom of the culture water area, which not only causes waste of nutrients, but also may produce harmful substances due to the long-term soaking and decomposition of nutrients, pollute the culture water quality, and thus affect the growth and health status of the shellfish, which is not conducive to the stable growth of the aquaculture yield.

[0024] In addition, after the end of the breeding cycle, a large number of used breeding piles, bottom-sown substrates or mesh bags are often discarded randomly in or around the breeding waters, which not only causes waste of resources, affects the fluidity and water quality of the water body, but also may pose a threat of pollution to the water quality in the breeding waters due to the non-degradable materials and long-term accumulation in the environment, and is not conducive to improving the breeding quality of shellfish.

[0025] Therefore, the present invention provides a shellfish breeding device, which can replace the traditional breeding method of fixed positions such as breeding piles, attached bottom-sown substrates and mesh bags, can improve the breeding environment of shellfish, increase the breeding yield and breeding quality, and at the same time reduce the damage to the environment and ecology.

[0026] It can be understood that, with reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the shellfish breeding device of the present invention includes a floating platform 100, a circulation mechanism 200 and a cleaning mechanism 300; the circulation mechanism 200 includes a feeding trough 210, a driving assembly 220 and a plurality of breeding cages 230. The feeding trough 210 is fixedly arranged on the floating platform 100, and the feeding trough 210 is used for storing nutrients. The driving assembly 220 includes a driving member 221 and two chains 224. A plurality of breeding cages 230 are arranged at intervals on the chains 224, and both ends of the breeding cages 230 are respectively connected to the two chains 224. A part of the chains 224 is located above the floating platform 100, and another part of the chains 224 is located above the floating platform 100. The breeding cages 230 are used for accommodating the cultured shellfish. The driving member 221 is used for driving the chains 224 to move so that the breeding cages 230 can be immersed in the feeding trough 210; the cleaning mechanism 300 includes a water spraying pipe 310. The water spraying pipe 310 is fixedly connected to the floating platform 100, and the water spraying pipe 310 is provided with a plurality of water spraying openings 311, and the water spraying openings 311 are arranged towards the breeding cages 230.

[0027] The floating platform 100 can be arranged in the aquaculture waters near the shore or far from the shore. The feeding trough 210 is fixedly arranged on the floating platform 100. The feeding trough 210 is used to hold the nutrient feed. A plurality of aquaculture cages 230 are arranged at intervals on the chain 224. And both ends of the aquaculture cage 230 are respectively connected to two chains 224. Aquaculture shellfish are accommodated in the aquaculture cage 230. A part of the chain 224 is located above the floating platform 100, and another part is located below the floating platform 100. The chain 224 is driven to move by the driving member 221, so that the chain 224 can drive the aquaculture cage 230 to move cyclically above and below the floating platform 100, enabling the aquaculture cage 230 to move at different water depths in the aquaculture waters, contacting more environmental water quality, providing an improved growth environment for the aquaculture shellfish, replacing traditional fixed-position aquaculture such as through aquaculture piles, attached bottom sowing substrates and mesh bags, helping to improve the aquaculture quality. And the chain 224 can drive the aquaculture cage 230 into the feeding trough 210 to ensure that the aquaculture shellfish can obtain sufficient nutrition. The water spraying pipe 310 is fixedly connected to the floating platform 100. By opening a plurality of water spraying ports 311 on the water spraying pipe 310 and arranging the water spraying ports 311 towards the aquaculture cage 230, when the chain 224 drives the aquaculture cage 230 to emerge from the water surface, the water spraying ports 311 can spray water towards the aquaculture cage 230 to wash the impurities attached to the aquaculture cage 230 and the aquaculture shellfish, reducing the pollution of the nutrient feed when the aquaculture cage 230 enters the feeding trough 210, and also being able to prevent the mesh holes of the aquaculture cage from being blocked.

[0028] Among them, aquaculture shellfish are accommodated in the aquaculture cage 230. The aquaculture cage 230 is provided with a plurality of mesh holes communicating with the outside, so that the water in the aquaculture waters can enter the aquaculture cage 230, facilitating the aquaculture shellfish to obtain food in the water. Moreover, the driving member 221 can drive the chain 224 to move, so that the chain 224 can drive the aquaculture cage 230 to move below the water surface, enabling the aquaculture shellfish to move at different water depths in the aquaculture waters, increasing the possibility for the aquaculture shellfish to obtain food in the aquaculture waters, and being able to improve the growth environment of the aquaculture shellfish, replacing fixed-position aquaculture through aquaculture piles, attached bottom sowing substrates and mesh bags, and helping to increase the aquaculture yield of the aquaculture shellfish.

[0029] It should be noted that the shape of the chain 224 is annular, so that the driving member 221 can drive the chain 224 to rotate cyclically above and below the floating platform 100. Since the breeding cage 230 is provided with a plurality of mesh holes, when the chain 224 drives the breeding cage 230 to move below the floating platform 100, impurities in the breeding water area are likely to accumulate on the surface of the breeding cage 230, resulting in the blockage of the mesh holes. The cleaning mechanism 300 and the feeding trough 210 are arranged on the chain 224 in sequence, so that when the chain 224 drives the breeding cage 230 to extend out of the water surface, water can be sprayed toward the breeding cage 230 through the water spraying port 311, thereby being able to remove the impurities attached to the surface of the breeding cage 230, avoiding the blockage of the mesh holes on the breeding cage 230, and then the breeding cage 230 is immersed in the feeding trough 210, so that the cultured shellfish in the breeding cage 230 can obtain the nutrient materials in the feeding trough 210 more efficiently and accurately, which helps the fattening and healthy growth of the cultured shellfish and improves the breeding quality.

[0030] Specifically, a water pump is connected to the water spraying pipe 310, and the water pump can drive water flow to be pressed into the water spraying pipe 310, so that the water flow can be output from the water spraying port 311.

[0031] Specifically, the movement period of the driving member 221 driving the chain 224 to move can be set to 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0032] Among them, when the movement period of the chain 224 is set to 24 hours, the breeding cage 230 moves from above the floating platform 100 to below the floating platform 100 twice within one movement period of the chain 224, which can allow the cultured shellfish to fully contact with the natural water body in the breeding water area and helps the healthy growth of the cultured shellfish.

[0033] It can be understood that referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the driving member 221 includes a motor 222 and a plurality of guide wheels 223. The plurality of guide wheels 223 are all rotatably connected to the floating platform 100. The chain 224 is wound around the guide wheels 223, and the motor 222 is used to drive the guide wheels 223 to rotate. The plurality of guide wheels 223 are all rotatably connected to the floating platform 100. By arranging the chain 224 to be wound around the guide wheels 223, when the motor 222 drives the guide wheels 223 to rotate, the chain 224 can be driven to move cyclically, so that the breeding cage 230 can move cyclically above and below the water surface, which not only has a compact structure and stable operation, but also improves the reliability and efficiency of the cyclic movement of the breeding cage 230.

[0034] Among them, the driving member 221 is also provided with a controller, and the motor 222 is electrically connected to the controller. The movement of the motor 222 can be accurately controlled through the controller, so that the movement period of the chain 224 is adjustable, further meeting the requirements of different shellfish farming cycles and growth characteristics, and helping to improve the farming yield of the farmed shellfish. The controller can be a single-chip microcomputer, a programmable logic controller, an industrial personal computer, etc., which is not limited here.

[0035] In addition, by providing the guide wheel 223, the friction and loss of the chain 224 during movement can be reduced, the service life of the device is extended, and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0036] It can be understood that, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a plurality of rotating blocks 225 are fixedly connected to the chain 224, and the culture cage 230 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 225. By fixedly connecting a plurality of rotating blocks 225 to the chain 224 and rotatably connecting the culture cage 230 to the rotating block 225, the self-rotation function of the culture cage 230 during the cyclic movement with the chain 224 is realized. This not only increases the fluidity of the farmed shellfish in different directions in the aquaculture water area, improves the efficiency of the farmed shellfish in obtaining food and oxygen, but also helps to reduce the risks such as uneven growth and diseases that may be caused by long-term fixed-posture farming, and can improve the farming yield and farming quality.

[0037] In addition, the culture cage 230 can rotate on the rotating block 225, which helps to evenly distribute the impurities attached to the culture cage 230, so that the cleaning mechanism 300 can more effectively remove these impurities during flushing, keep the culture cage 230 clean and transparent, and further improve the farming efficiency and farming quality.

[0038] Among them, a bearing can be provided between the rotating block 225 and the culture cage 230. Through the bearing, the rotating block 225 and the culture cage 230 can be separated to reduce the rotation resistance of the culture cage 230 on the rotating block 225, so that the culture cage 230 can rotate smoothly, reduce wear, and extend the service life.

[0039] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 to 4, both ends of the breeding cage 230 are fixedly connected with rotating shafts 234. The rotating shafts 234 are rotatably connected to the rotating blocks 225, and a plurality of reinforcing plates 235 are arranged between the rotating shafts 234 and the breeding cage 230. By fixedly connecting the rotating shafts 234 to both ends of the breeding cage 230, making the rotating shafts 234 rotatably connected to the rotating blocks 225, and arranging a plurality of reinforcing plates 235 between the rotating shafts 234 and the breeding cage 230, the stability and durability of the breeding cage 230 during the self-rotation process can be enhanced. By setting the reinforcing plates 235, not only the structural strength of the breeding cage 230 is enhanced, enabling it to withstand greater water flow impacts and the weight of the cultured shellfish, but also it helps to maintain the stable shape of the breeding cage 230 during the self-rotation process, preventing the breeding effect from being affected due to deformation or damage.

[0040] In addition, the rotating shafts 234 are rotatably connected to the rotating blocks 225, which simplifies the connection method between the breeding cage 230 and the chain 224, making the installation and disassembly more convenient and fast, and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0041] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 2 , the number of the water spray pipes 310 is set to be multiple. The multiple water spray pipes 310 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the breeding cage 230, and the opening direction of the water spray nozzles 311 is tangent to the side wall of the breeding cage 230. By arranging the multiple water spray pipes 310 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the breeding cage 230 and making the opening direction of the water spray nozzles 311 tangent to the side wall of the breeding cage 230, not only can the breeding cage 230 be washed evenly and efficiently, but also the water flow ejected from the water spray nozzles 311 can push the breeding cage 230 to rotate, which helps to homogenize the washing effect of the water flow on the breeding cage 230 and reduce the cleaning dead corners.

[0042] It should be noted that the multiple water spray nozzles 311 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the water spray pipes 310, so that the water flows output by the multiple water spray nozzles 311 are all tangent to the side wall of the breeding cage 230, thereby being able to conveniently drive the breeding cage 230 to rotate and improve the cleaning efficiency of the breeding cage 230.

[0043] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 3 , the breeding cage 230 includes a cage net 231, support rods 232 and two connecting plates 233. The two ends of the support rods 232 are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 233, and the cage net 231 wraps the side walls of the two connecting plates 233 to enclose a space for accommodating the cultured shellfish. The breeding cage 230 includes a cage net 231, support rods 232 and two connecting plates 233. By setting the cage net 231 to wrap the side walls of the two connecting plates 233 to enclose a space for accommodating the cultured shellfish, it can prevent the cultured shellfish from falling out, and at the same time allow the water flow to pass freely, providing sufficient oxygen and food sources for the cultured shellfish.

[0044] In addition, both ends of multiple support rods 232 are respectively connected to two connecting plates 233, which can enhance the structural strength of the breeding cage 230, enabling it to withstand various external forces and pressures during the breeding process and ensuring the safe growth of the cultured shellfish.

[0045] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , multiple breeding cages 230 are arranged in multiple groups, and multiple groups of breeding cages 230 are connected in sequence along the axial direction, and both ends of multiple groups of breeding cages 230 are respectively connected to two chains 224. By arranging multiple groups of breeding cages 230 connected in sequence along the axial direction and connecting both ends to two chains 224 respectively, the expansion of the breeding capacity and the improvement of the breeding efficiency are achieved. It not only increases the overall load-bearing capacity of the shellfish breeding device, enabling more cultured shellfish to be raised simultaneously, but also helps to optimize the layout of the breeding space, improve the breeding density and the yield per unit area.

[0046] Among them, both ends of multiple groups of breeding cages 230 are respectively connected to two chains 224, ensuring the stability and continuity of the breeding cages 230 during the cyclic movement along with the chains 224 and improving the reliability of the shellfish breeding device.

[0047] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , the floating platform 100 is provided with multiple floating barrels 110, and multiple floating barrels 110 are arranged at intervals on the floating platform 100, and a cavity for storing water is arranged inside the floating barrels 110. By arranging multiple floating barrels 110 at intervals on the floating platform 100, the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the floating platform 100 can be improved, enabling the floating platform 100 to better adapt to different water depths and wave conditions and maintaining its stability and balance in the water. At the same time, a cavity for storing water is arranged inside the floating barrels 110, and by injecting a certain amount of water into the cavity, the stability of the floating platform 100 can be increased, reducing the position jitter of the floating platform 100 and helping to improve the breeding efficiency of the shellfish.

[0048] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , the floating platform 100 is connected with a photovoltaic panel 120 and a storage battery 130. The photovoltaic panel 120 is arranged above the floating platform 100, and both the photovoltaic panel 120 and the driving member 221 are electrically connected to the storage battery 130. By arranging the photovoltaic panel 120 above the floating platform 100 and electrically connecting both the photovoltaic panel 120 and the driving member 221 to the storage battery 130, the energy supply and automatic operation of the shellfish breeding device are realized. The photovoltaic panel 120 can use solar energy to charge the storage battery 130, and then provide power for the driving member 221 to drive the cyclic movement of the breeding cage 230 and the operation of the cleaning mechanism 300, reducing the dependence on traditional energy, lowering the breeding cost and improving the breeding efficiency.

[0049] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1, a floating platform 100 is provided with a motive mechanism (not shown in the attached drawings). The motive mechanism is electrically connected to a storage battery 130, and the motive mechanism is used to drive the floating platform 100 to move. By providing a motive mechanism on the floating platform 100 and electrically connecting it to the storage battery 130, the floating platform 100 can achieve autonomous movement, enabling the shellfish farming device to flexibly adjust its position in the farming water area according to factors such as farming requirements, water quality conditions, or light conditions, so that the floating platform 100 can move and adjust in the nearshore or deep sea area far from land. This not only improves the adaptability and flexibility of the shellfish farming device, but also helps to optimize the farming environment and improve the growth quality and yield of shellfish.

[0050] It should be noted that the motive mechanism can be a propeller, a water jet propeller, etc., which can push the floating platform 100 to move and improve the position flexibility of the floating platform 100. It is not limited here.

[0051] In addition, the floating platform 100 can also be connected with a cable. Through the cable, the floating platform 100 can be dragged to move, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the shellfish farming device in the farming water area, improving the position flexibility, and helping to improve the farming efficiency and farming quality of the farmed shellfish.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
