[0002] Water product cultivation belongs to low-carbon cultivation. For example, when cultivating kelp, the kelp absorbs carbon dioxide in seawater through photosynthesis. However, years of continuous water product cultivation have caused the upper water body in the water product cultivation area to be nutrient-poor, affecting the normal growth of water product cultivation products, and even leading to the disease of water product cultivation products. In order to enable the water product cultivation industry to develop continuously, it is urgently needed to solve the problem of nutrient salt deficiency in the upper water body in the water product cultivation area through an artificial upwelling device.

[0003] The inventor finds that the traditional artificial upwelling device has a relatively complex structure, a relatively high manufacturing and operation cost, and undoubtedly significantly increases the production and operation cost for water product cultivators or cultivation enterprises, especially for water product cultivation scattered households with limited funds, thereby limiting the development of the water product cultivation industry and the application of the artificial upwelling device.

[0021] The length of the circular pipe S = asinh(H t / a) - asinh(H b / a).

[0022] Further, according to the designed inclination of the circular pipe, a cable is arranged at each end of the raft frame rope through a floating ball and a fixing device, and each cable is provided with the circular pipe.

[0023] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in a second aspect, the application further provides an aquaculture upwelling generating device, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0033] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] Traditional artificial upwelling flow generating devices have relatively complex structures and relatively high manufacturing and operation costs. For aquaculture farmers or enterprises, especially for limited funds, the use of traditional artificial upwelling flow generating devices will undoubtedly significantly increase the production and operation costs, thereby limiting the development of the aquaculture industry and the application of artificial upwelling flow generating devices. In view of the above problems, as shown in Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a design method of an aquaculture upwelling flow generating device, which includes the setting of a circular pipe 4 in an aquaculture area and the design of the inclination of the circular pipe 4.

[0037] The setting of the circular pipe 4 in the aquaculture area includes: one end of the circular pipe 4 is fixed by a floating ball 1 floating on the surface of the seawater in the aquaculture area and a cable 2 connected between the floating ball 1 and the circular pipe 4; the other end of the circular pipe 4 is fixed by a fixing device 7 fixed to the seabed and a cable 2 connected between the fixing device 7 and the circular pipe 4; the circular pipe 4 is set in the seawater with a designed inclination of the circular pipe; the fixing device 7 can be a sinkstone or an anchor, etc.

[0038] The design of the inclination of the circular pipe includes: the inclination of the circular pipe is the included angle between the axis of the circular pipe and the horizontal plane; the inclination of the circular pipe is determined according to the bottom seawater flow rate, the distance from the bottom end face of the circular pipe to the seabed and the length of the circular pipe.

[0039] Specifically, the upwelling flow generating device obtained by the design method of the embodiment has simple structure, low manufacturing and operation cost, and the inclined circular pipe 4 arranged in seawater can realize the purpose of upwelling of lower seawater under the action of the flow speed of the lower seawater, without other power devices, and can be accepted by aquaculture farmers and achieve good results. At the same time, the inclination of the circular pipe is determined according to the flow speed of the lower seawater, the distance from the bottom end face of the circular pipe to the seabed, and the length of the circular pipe, so that the upwelling effect of the lower seawater can be optimized.

[0040] Optionally, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cable 2 penetrates the entire circular pipe 4, and the two ends of the cable 2 are connected with the floating ball 1 and the fixing device 7 respectively. A plurality of fixing supports 7 are arranged in the circular pipe 4, and the cable 2 penetrates and fixes the center position of the fixing support 5.

[0041] Optionally, the fixing support 5 includes a fixing hole 51 for penetrating the cable 2, and a plurality of fixing rods 52 are arranged on the circumference outside the fixing hole 51 for connecting the fixing hole 51 and the inner wall of the circular pipe 4.

[0042] In the embodiment, the inclination of the circular pipe is:

[0043] θ=-αT+βV

[0044] Wherein, θ is the inclination of the circular pipe; T is the distance from the bottom end face of the circular pipe to the seabed, which can be measured; V is the flow speed of the lower seawater, which can be measured; α and β are coefficients, which can be determined by experience, experiment or historical data, for example, through a large amount of historical data, under the condition that θ is known, the least square method and other methods are used to obtain.

[0045] Further, in order to better determine the inclination of the circular pipe, the length of the circular pipe is considered, and the inclination of the circular pipe is determined according to the flow speed of the lower seawater, the distance from the bottom end face of the circular pipe to the seabed and the length of the circular pipe. At this time, the inclination of the circular pipe is:

[0046] θ=-αT+βV+γS

[0047] Wherein, S is the length of the circular pipe; γ is a coefficient, and similarly, the coefficients α, β and γ can be determined by experience, experiment or historical data, for example, through a large amount of historical data, under the condition that θ is known, the least square method and other methods are used to obtain.

[0048] In the embodiment, the cable is arranged according to the same catenary parameters as the center line of the circular pipe, according to the water depth D and the horizontal distance H between the floating ball and the fixing device, and the length L of the cable is determined according to the formula:

[0049]

[0050] wherein the distance D from the center of the circular pipe water inlet to the seabed is determined according to the average thickness δ of the seabed boundary layer observed by the flow velocity profiler b , D b = δ; the distance D from the circular pipe water outlet to the sea surface is determined according to the length of the kelp and the water depth t , D t = 0-4m, and when the water depth is shallow, the circular pipe water outlet can be arranged on the sea surface.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4 , the length determination method of the circular pipe comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1, a plane coordinate system is determined, the coordinate origin is located directly below the seabed position of the fixed device, the vertical distance between the coordinate origin and the fixed device is a, the projection line on the plane parallel to the seabed with the connecting line between the fixed device and the floating ball passing through the coordinate origin as the horizontal coordinate axis, the positive direction is towards the floating ball side, and the vertical upward direction is the positive direction of the vertical coordinate axis.

[0053] S2, the vertical distance a between the coordinate origin and the fixed device is calculated, and the calculation formula is L = asinh(H / a).

[0054] S3, the horizontal distance H between the center of the circular pipe bottom opening and the fixed device is calculated b , and the calculation formula is a + D b = acosh(H b / a).

[0055] S4, the horizontal distance H between the center of the circular pipe upper opening and the fixed device is calculated t , and the formula is a + D - D t = acosh(H t / a).

[0056] S5, the length S of the circular pipe is calculated, S = asinh(H t / a) - asinh(H b / a).

[0057] In some embodiments, the pipe diameter of the upper opening of the circular pipe is 0.1-0.2 times the flow velocity of the bottom layer seawater; the pipe diameter of the bottom opening of the circular pipe is 1.2-1.7 times the pipe diameter of the upper end of the circular pipe; and the length of the lower end of the circular pipe is 20-40 cm.

[0058] Specifically, the pipe diameter of the upper end of the circular pipe is 0.1-0.2 times the flow velocity of the bottom layer seawater, which is verified by fluid mechanics calculation software to be relatively good. For example, a plurality of values such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,..., 0.9 are set, and the results of each value are calculated one by one. In some embodiments, the pipe diameter of the upper end of the circular pipe is preferably in the range of 0.1-0.2 times the flow velocity of the bottom layer seawater. The lower end of the circular pipe is in a trumpet shape, which is mainly to increase the water inflow. If the diameter of the trumpet mouth is too small, the effect cannot be achieved, and if the diameter of the trumpet mouth is too large, the water resistance of the trumpet mouth will be large, which will affect the stability of the overall structure. Therefore, the pipe diameter of the bottom end of the circular pipe is 1.2-1.7 times the pipe diameter of the upper end of the circular pipe, and the length of the trumpet-shaped part at the lower end of the circular pipe is preferably 20-40 cm.

[0059] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments, according to the designed inclination of the circular pipe, a cable 2 is arranged at each end of the raft rope 8 through a floating ball 1 and a fixing device 7, and the circular pipe 4 is arranged on each cable 2. The raft rope 8 can be provided with seaweed and other aquaculture products 9.

[0060] In some embodiments, the water depth of the aquaculture area is 15 m, the horizontal distance between the fixing device 7 and the floating ball 1 is 15 m, and the total length of the cable 2 is about 22.44 m. The top end of the circular pipe 4 is 3 m away from the sea surface, the center of the lower end opening of the circular pipe is 4 m away from the sea bottom, the pipe diameters of the upper end opening and the lower end opening of the circular pipe are 200 mm and 300 mm, respectively, and the total length of the circular pipe is 9.65 m, of which the length of the trumpet-shaped part at the lower end of the circular pipe is 30 cm. The designed upwelling generator is used as a mooring rope for seaweed raft culture, which not only fixes the seaweed culture raft, but also generates upwelling.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the buoy in this embodiment is a round buoy commonly used in raft aquaculture, and the artificial upwelling device is fixed with sinkers. Assuming the water depth of the kelp farming area is 15m, the horizontal distance between the sinkers and the buoy in this embodiment is set to 12m, according to the formula... The total length of the cable was calculated to be 20.41 m. Assuming the average thickness of the seabed boundary layer observed by the velocity profiler is δ = 3.5 m, the distance D from the center of the opening at the bottom of the circular pipe to the seabed is... b = 3.5m; the distance between the upper opening of the circular pipe and the sea surface is taken as D. t =3m; Based on the above parameters, the distance a between the sinker and the origin of the coordinate system is calculated to be 6.39m, and the horizontal distance H between the center of the opening at the bottom of the circular pipe and the sinker is calculated to be 3m. b =6.41m, the horizontal distance H between the center of the opening at the upper end of the circular pipe and the sinker. t =10.98m, the length of the circular pipe is 9.70m; assuming the average velocity at the seabed boundary layer observed by the velocity profiler is v = 1m / s, and the inner diameter of the opening at the upper end of the circular pipe is D. out =0.2v=0.2m, meaning the inner diameter of the upper opening of the circular pipe is 200mm; the inner diameter of the lower opening of the circular pipe is taken as 1.25 times the inner diameter of the outlet of the circular pipe, i.e., D. out =250mm, and the length of the flared section at the bottom opening of the round tube is set to 30cm.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this practice should be included within the protection scope of this practice.
