[0031] In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. In addition, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0033] A convenient movable marine ranch platform provided by the present invention includes a platform main body 1 and a first thruster. The platform main body 1 is provided with a plurality of columns 2. The plurality of columns 2 are arranged along the periphery of the platform main body 1, and the adjacent columns 2 are connected by a netting 3 to form a culture net cage. The first thruster is detachably connected to the column 2 at the rear end of the platform main body 1 through a connecting member, and the first thruster is used to drive the platform main body 1 to move forward.

[0034] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , compared with a traditional offshore platform equipped with a fixed propulsion device, the first thruster of this marine ranch platform is detachably installed. When the platform main body 1 does not need to move, the first thruster can be disassembled, thereby avoiding the aging of the first thruster material caused by the first thruster being soaked in the sea for a long time, and avoiding the attachment of marine organisms, which increases the resistance of the thruster and reduces its propulsion efficiency. At the same time, this culture net cage is formed by installing a netting 3 between the columns 2. When there is no need for aquaculture, the netting 3 can be disassembled, and the flexibility is relatively high. In addition, the connecting member can be a combination of a fixing plate and a bolt. The fixing plate is welded to the column, and the first thruster is fixed to the fixing plate through the threaded connection between the bolt and the threaded hole on the fixing plate; it can also be a combination of a fixing pipe and a snap ring. The fixing pipe is welded to the column, and the first thruster is fixed to the fixing pipe through the snap connection between the snap ring and the fixing pipe.

[0035] As an alternative embodiment, in some embodiments, it further includes a second thruster, which is detachably connected to the side of the column 2 at the front end of the platform main body 1 through a connecting member, and the second thruster is used to drive the platform main body 1 to turn.

[0036] Specifically, referring again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , to facilitate the turning of the offshore ranching platform during movement, a second thruster is installed on the side of the column 2 at the very front end of the platform main body 1. When a right turn is needed, the second thruster on the left side of the platform main body 1 is started; when a left turn is needed, the second thruster on the right side of the platform main body 1 is started.

[0037] In the above embodiments, further, a ballast tank 4 is provided inside the column 2. Among them, by adjusting the ballast water volume in the ballast tank 4, the floating and diving of the platform main body 1 can be achieved.

[0038] As an alternative embodiment, in some embodiments, the column 2 at the front end of the platform main body 1 has a protruding portion 5, and the protruding portion 5 is arranged in the advancing direction of the platform main body 1, and the protruding portion 5 is triangular. Among them, the protruding portion 5 with this shape can make the resistance smaller when the offshore ranching platform advances.

[0039] As an alternative embodiment, in some embodiments, the first thruster includes a first upper thruster 6 and a first lower thruster 7. The first upper thruster 6 is arranged close to the top of the aquaculture cage, and the first lower thruster 7 is arranged close to the bottom of the aquaculture cage; when the ballast tank 4 is filled with ballast water, the aquaculture cage dives below the water line, and the platform main body 1 is driven to advance by the first upper thruster 6. When the ballast tank 4 releases the ballast water, the aquaculture cage floats above the water line, and the platform main body 1 is driven to advance by the first lower thruster 7. Among them, the first thruster of this offshore ranching platform is a double-layer design. When the platform main body 1 is in the aquaculture state (the aquaculture cage dives below the water line), if it is necessary to move the offshore ranching platform at this time, the first upper thruster 6 is installed at the top of the aquaculture cage (close to the operation water line), and the first upper thruster 6 is used to drive the offshore ranching platform to advance; when the platform main body 1 is in the non-aquaculture state (the aquaculture cage floats above the water line), if it is necessary to move the offshore ranching platform at this time, the first lower thruster 7 is installed at the bottom of the aquaculture cage (close to the towing water line), and the first upper thruster 7 is used to drive the offshore ranching platform to advance.

[0040] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments, the second thruster includes a second upper thruster 8 and a second lower thruster 9. The second upper thruster 8 is arranged near the top of the aquaculture cage, and the second lower thruster 9 is arranged near the bottom of the aquaculture cage. When the ballast tank 4 is filled with ballast water, the aquaculture cage dives below the waterline, and the platform main body 1 is steered by the second upper thruster 8. When the ballast tank 4 discharges the ballast water, the aquaculture cage floats above the waterline, and the platform main body 1 is steered by the second lower thruster 9. Among them, the second thruster of this marine ranch platform is a double-layer design. Similarly, according to the state of the platform main body 1 (aquaculture state or non-aquaculture state), when the marine ranch platform needs to turn during movement, the corresponding second upper thruster 8 or second lower thruster 9 is selected for steering.

[0041] In summary, by adjusting the floating and diving of the platform main body 1 through the ballast tank and cooperating with the external thrusters according to the position of the waterline, the marine ranch platform can sail better and more conveniently when it needs to transfer.

[0042] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments, a solar photovoltaic panel 10 is installed on the top of the aquaculture cage through a bracket 11. Among them, this marine ranch platform can also utilize solar power generation. The solar photovoltaic panel 10 is connected to a power storage device, so that the excess power can be stored in the power storage device, thereby alleviating the problem of deep-sea energy supply to a certain extent.

[0043] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments, the material of the netting 3 is one of polyester, polyethylene or copper alloy. Among them, the netting 3 made of polyester has good corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and is suitable for the deep-sea environment; the netting 3 made of polyethylene has excellent wear resistance, tear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. In addition, an anti-fouling coating can be sprayed on it to improve its ability to resist fouling organism attachment; the netting 3 made of copper alloy has high strength and wear resistance, as well as good corrosion resistance, anti-fouling organism attachment and anti-condensation water performance. The main principle is that the chemical action at the copper / seawater interface can release bactericidal copper ions and other alloy elements, thereby inhibiting the attachment of microbial fungi and aquatic organisms.

[0044] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments, the material of the column 2 is steel. Among them, since the column 2 needs to bear the huge pressure from seawater and the impact of natural forces such as wind and waves, the column 2 made of steel material can ensure the structural stability and safety and meet various requirements in the deep-sea environment.
