Detailed Implementation

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present invention provides an aquaculture device, which includes: a hexahedral frame, wherein each of the six faces of the hexahedral frame is provided with a mesh 10 and together forms an aquaculture space; the hexahedral frame includes: a first frame, comprising four first components 500 connected end to end, with adjacent two first components 500 connected by a first connector 30; each first component 500 includes a first column 20; a second frame, arranged vertically at intervals below the first frame, comprising four second components 600 connected end to end, with adjacent two second components 600 connected by a second connector 50; the four first connectors 30 and the four second connectors 50 are arranged one-to-one; each second component 600 includes a second column 40; and a connecting structure, comprising four third components 700 arranged circumferentially at intervals along the first frame, with corresponding first connectors 30 and second connectors 50 connected to the same third component 700; each third component 700 includes a connecting column 60; and each of the first column 20, second column 40, and connecting column 60 is formed by splicing together at least two sub-columns 800.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first frame, the second frame, and the connecting structure together form a hexahedral frame. Four first components 500 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame, and a mesh 10 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the rectangular frame to form the top surface of the hexahedral frame. Four second components 600 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame, and a mesh 10 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the rectangular frame to form the bottom surface of the hexahedral frame. The remaining four sides of the hexahedral frame are each composed of a rectangular frame formed by two third components 700 and corresponding first components 500 and second components 600, and a mesh 10 connected to the inner peripheral surface of the rectangular frame.

[0029] Two adjacent first components 500 are connected by a first connector 30, two adjacent second components 600 are connected by a second connector 50, and four third components 700 are correspondingly arranged with the four first connectors 30. The corresponding first connectors 30 and second connectors 50 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the same third component 700 to form a hexahedral frame. Since the first column 20, the second column 40, and the connecting column 60 are all formed by splicing at least two sub-columns 800, modular assembly of the aquaculture equipment can be realized. The modular design allows the aquaculture equipment to be changed in size according to different aquaculture needs and environmental conditions. The aquaculture equipment of this application can increase or decrease the size of the hexahedral frame (e.g., length, width, and height) by increasing or decreasing the number of sub-columns 800 to adapt to the diverse needs of deep-sea aquaculture, greatly improving the applicability of the aquaculture equipment.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first connector 30 includes a first body 31 and two first connecting cylinders 32. The two first connecting cylinders 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first body 31. One end of two adjacent first components 500 is respectively connected to the two first connecting cylinders 32 of the corresponding first connector 30. The second connector 50 includes a second body 51 and two second connecting cylinders 52. The two second connecting cylinders 52 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second body 51. One end of two adjacent second components 600 is respectively connected to the two second connecting cylinders 52 of the corresponding second connector 50.

[0031] With the above settings, the four first components 500 can be connected end to end to form the first frame, and the four second components 600 can be connected end to end to form the second frame.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first component 500 further includes a plurality of first prestressing tendons 70 installed in the inner cavity of the first column 20. Both ends of the plurality of first prestressing tendons 70 extend out of the inner cavity of the first column 20 by a first preset length. The first body 31 has a first receiving cavity. The first connecting cylinder 32 communicates with the first receiving cavity. The first body 31 is provided with a first operating hole 311 communicating with the first receiving cavity. The inner cavity of the first connecting cylinder 32 is provided with a first end plate 321. There is a gap between the first end plate 321 and the opening at the end of the first connecting cylinder 32 away from the first body 31. The protruding end of the first prestressing tendon 70 is anchored to the corresponding first end plate 321 on its side. Both ends of the first column 20 abut against the corresponding first end plate 321 on its side.

[0033] In this embodiment, the length extension direction of the first prestressing tendon 70 is the same as that of the first column 20, and both ends of the first prestressing tendon 70 extend out of the first column 20. An operator can insert a tool through the first operating hole 311 into the inner cavity of the first connecting cylinder 32 to anchor the first prestressing tendon 70 to the first end plate 321. After being tensioned to a high stress state, the first prestressing tendon 70 is anchored to the corresponding first end plate 321. The tensioned first prestressing tendon 70 will generate a rebound force, attempting to return to its original length. This rebound force is converted into a compressive force on the first column 20, allowing both ends of the first column 20 to abut against the corresponding first end plate 321 on their respective sides, ensuring that the first column 20 is in a pre-compressed state. This structure ensures the stability of the first column 20 between the two first joints 30, maintaining structural integrity even under external forces, and is less prone to bending, twisting, or other forms of deformation, thus effectively resisting external wind, waves, and seawater pressure. At least two sub-columns 800 that make up the first column 20 are arranged sequentially along the length extension direction of the first prestressed tendon 70. At the same time, the splicing of at least two sub-columns 800 that make up the first column 20 can be achieved through the anchoring connection between the first prestressed tendon 70 and the first end plate 321.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the aquaculture equipment further includes a plurality of first prestressed anchors 11, a plurality of first through holes 322 are provided on the first end plate 321, a plurality of first prestressed tendons 70 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first through holes 322, the protruding end of the first prestressed tendon 70 passes through the corresponding first through hole 322 and enters the inner cavity of the first connecting cylinder 32, and the part of the first prestressed tendon 70 that enters the inner cavity of the first connecting cylinder 32 is anchored to the corresponding first end plate 321 by a first prestressed anchor 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first prestressed anchor 11 enables the anchoring connection between the first prestressed tendon 70 and the first end plate 321, effectively locking the prestress generated by the tensioning of the first prestressed tendon 70. After the first prestressed tendon 70 is tensioned to the design stress, it is fixed by the first prestressed anchor 11 to prevent the prestressed tendon from shrinking back, ensuring that the pre-applied compressive stress can stably act on the first column 20 for a long time. At the same time, the use of the first prestressed anchor 11 also ensures the connection strength between the first prestressed tendon 70 and the first end plate 321. In complex marine environments, aquaculture equipment may be subjected to the impact of wind, waves, and water currents, as well as the thermal expansion and contraction effects of material due to temperature changes. The first prestressed anchor 11 can resist these external forces and temperature effects, maintaining the anchoring state of the first prestressed tendon 70, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the entire structure.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second component 600 further includes a plurality of second prestressing tendons 41 installed in the inner cavity of the second column 40. Both ends of the plurality of second prestressing tendons 41 extend out of the inner cavity of the second column 40 by a second preset length. The second body 51 has a second receiving cavity. The second connecting cylinder 52 communicates with the second receiving cavity. The second body 51 is provided with a second operating hole communicating with the second receiving cavity. A second end plate is provided in the inner cavity of the second connecting cylinder 52. There is a gap between the second end plate and the opening at the end of the second connecting cylinder 52 away from the second body 51. The protruding end of the second prestressing tendon 41 is connected to the corresponding second end plate on its side. Both ends of the second column 40 abut against the corresponding second end plate on their respective sides.

[0037] In this embodiment, the length extension direction of the second prestressing tendon 41 is the same as that of the second column 40, and both ends of the second prestressing tendon 41 extend out of the second column 40. A tool is inserted into the inner cavity of the second connecting cylinder 52 through the second operating hole to perform the anchoring connection operation between the second prestressing tendon 41 and the second end plate. After being tensioned to a high stress state, the second prestressing tendon 41 is anchored to the corresponding second end plate. The tensioned second prestressing tendon 41 generates a rebound force, attempting to return to its original length. This rebound force is converted into a compressive force on the second column 40, allowing both ends of the second column 40 to abut against the corresponding second end plate on their respective sides, ensuring that the second column 40 is in a pre-compressed state. This structure ensures the stability of the second column 40 between the two second joints 50, maintaining structural integrity even under external forces, and is not prone to bending, twisting, or other forms of deformation, thus effectively resisting external wind, waves, and seawater pressure. At least two sub-columns 800 that make up the second column 40 are arranged sequentially along the length extension direction of the second prestressing tendon 41. At the same time, the splicing of at least two sub-columns 800 that make up the second column 40 can be achieved through the anchoring connection between the second prestressing tendon 41 and the second end plate.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the aquaculture equipment further includes a plurality of second prestressed anchors 12, a plurality of second through holes are provided on the second end plate, a plurality of second prestressed tendons 41 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second through holes, the protruding end of the second prestressed tendon 41 passes through the corresponding second through hole into the inner cavity of the second connecting cylinder 52, and the part of the second prestressed tendon 41 that passes through the inner cavity of the second connecting cylinder 52 is anchored to the corresponding second end plate by a second prestressed anchor 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second prestressed anchor 12 enables the anchoring connection between the second prestressed tendon 41 and the second end plate, effectively locking the prestress generated by the tensioning of the second prestressed tendon 41. After the second prestressed tendon 41 is tensioned to the design stress, it is fixed by the second prestressed anchor 12 to prevent the prestressed tendon from shrinking back, ensuring that the pre-applied compressive stress can stably act on the second column 40 for a long time. At the same time, the use of the second prestressed anchor 12 also ensures the connection strength between the second prestressed tendon 41 and the second end plate. In complex marine environments, aquaculture equipment may be subjected to the impact of wind, waves, and currents, as well as the thermal expansion and contraction effects of material due to temperature changes. The second prestressed anchor 12 can resist these external forces and temperature effects, maintaining the anchoring state of the second prestressed tendon 41, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the entire structure.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the hexahedral frame further includes a plurality of reinforcing structures 80, and a reinforcing structure 80 is provided between the first column 20 and the second column 40.

[0041] In this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 80 provides additional support between the corresponding first column 20 and second column 40, effectively increasing the structural strength and stability of the hexahedral frame, enabling the hexahedral frame to better resist deformation and damage caused by the external environment, especially under harsh marine conditions such as strong winds, large waves and ocean currents.

[0042] By incorporating the reinforcing structure 80, the forces acting on the hexahedral frame are distributed more evenly across the entire frame structure, rather than being concentrated on a few points or components. This reduces the possibility of localized overload and enhances the structure's safety and durability. Aquaculture equipment is exposed to a fluctuating marine environment, making it susceptible to fatigue failure. The reinforcing structure 80 effectively mitigates the impact of cyclical loads caused by waves and ocean currents, slows the rate of fatigue accumulation, and extends the service life of the aquaculture equipment.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing structure 80 includes a first reinforcing part 81 and a second reinforcing part 82. The first reinforcing part 81 is perpendicular to the second reinforcing part 82. The two ends of the first reinforcing part 81 are respectively connected to the corresponding first column 20 and second column 40. The two ends of the second reinforcing part 82 are respectively connected to the connecting column 60 on the side where they are located.

[0044] In this embodiment, the vertically arranged first reinforcing part 81 and second reinforcing part 82 can significantly enhance the structural strength of the hexahedral frame. By providing additional support in different directions of the frame, they effectively resist the influence of lateral, longitudinal, and torsional forces. The reinforcing structure 80 guides and disperses the forces between the first column 20, the second column 40, and the connecting column 60, optimizing the stress situation of the entire hexahedral frame and avoiding structural failure caused by local overload.

[0045] It should be noted that the reinforcing structure 80 is cross-shaped. Each of the four sides of the hexahedral frame of this application is provided with a reinforcing structure 80. The reinforcing structure 80 can divide the sides of the hexahedral frame into four parts, and each part is connected to a mesh 10.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the inner cavity of the first reinforcing part 81 is provided with a plurality of third prestressing tendons 300, both ends of the plurality of third prestressing tendons 300 extending out of the inner cavity of the first reinforcing part 81 by a third preset length, and the two ends of the third prestressing tendons 300 are respectively anchored to the corresponding first column 20 and second column 40. The inner cavity of the second reinforcing part 82 is provided with a plurality of fourth prestressing tendons 400, both ends of the plurality of fourth prestressing tendons 400 extending out of the inner cavity of the second reinforcing part 82 by a fourth preset length, and the two ends of the fourth prestressing tendons 400 are respectively anchored to the connecting column 60 on the side where they are located.

[0047] The above setup creates a robust cross-shaped reinforcement network, which effectively improves the structural stability of the entire hexahedral frame. This reinforcement network can better resist various loads from the external environment, such as wind, wave impact, and water pressure, ensuring that the hexahedral frame can maintain its shape and strength even under harsh marine conditions.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the aquaculture equipment further includes multiple bases 100, and the multiple bases 100 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple connecting columns 60, and the connecting columns 60 are fixedly installed on the corresponding bases 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, the base 100 provides a solid supporting foundation for the hexahedral frame. Each connecting column 60 is fixedly connected to the base 100, forming a stable fulcrum, which can significantly improve the hexahedral frame's ability to resist deep-sea winds and waves. The base 100 makes it easier to position and anchor the aquaculture equipment in the predetermined sea area, ensuring that the aquaculture equipment will not move due to ocean currents or wind during the aquaculture period.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first column 20, the second column 40 and the connecting column 60 are all hollow round tubes made of concrete, and the first joint 30 and the second joint 50 are both made of metal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first column 20, the second column 40, and the connecting column 60 are all hollow round tubes made of concrete, which not only ensures sufficient structural strength, but also reduces weight due to the hollow design. Compared with solid concrete components, this design can provide a better weight-to-strength ratio, making the hexahedral frame more stable and easier to deploy and adjust.

[0052] Both the first joint 30 and the second joint 50 are made of metal, possessing excellent mechanical properties such as high strength and high toughness. This ensures the robustness and reliability of the connection between the columns 60, allowing the joints to withstand significant loads and stresses. This guarantees that the connection between the columns will not become a weak point in the structure, even in harsh marine environments. The different coefficients of thermal expansion between concrete and metal mean that the combination of concrete columns and metal joints reduces structural deformation caused by temperature changes, ensuring the stability of the hexahedral frame under different seasons and temperatures, and reducing the risk of structural damage.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the aquaculture equipment further includes four third connectors 90, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with four reinforcing structures 80. Each third connector 90 includes a third body 91, which has a third receiving cavity.

[0054] The first connector 30 has a fourth end plate at its bottom, and the second connector 50 has a fifth end plate at its top. The bottom of the second connector 50 communicates with the second receiving cavity. The third component 700 also includes multiple fifth prestressing tendons 61.

After passing through the corresponding fifth through holes, the fourth prestressing tendons 400 are anchored to the sixth end plate. The seventh end plate is provided with multiple sixth through holes. The multiple sixth through holes are provided one-to-one with the multiple fifth prestressing tendons 61. After passing through the corresponding sixth through holes and third through holes, the fifth prestressing tendons 61 are anchored to the fourth end plate.

[0056] To facilitate understanding, let's take two sub-columns 800 that make up the connecting column 60 as an example. In the two adjacent sub-columns 800, the top of the sub-column 800 located at the bottom of the fourth joint 200 abuts against the seventh end plate at the bottom of the fourth body 201. After the worker completes the anchoring connection between the sixth end plate and the fourth prestressing tendon 400 through the third operating hole, concrete is injected into the fourth receiving cavity. The height of the concrete is less than the height of the fourth receiving cavity. After the concrete solidifies, the other sub-column 800 is then placed from the top of the fifth prestressing tendon 61 until the bottom of the sub-column 800 extends into the fourth receiving cavity and abuts against the solidified concrete. Then, the fifth pre-connecting tendon is anchored to the fourth end plate. After being tensioned to a high stress state, the fifth prestressed tendon 61 is anchored to the corresponding fourth end plate. The tensioned fifth prestressed tendon 61 will generate a rebound force, attempting to return to its original length. This rebound force is converted into a compressive force on the connecting column 60, so that the two ends of the connecting column 60 can abut against the fourth end plate and the fifth end plate respectively, thereby realizing the splicing of the two sub-columns 800.

[0057] The aquaculture equipment also includes multiple fifth connectors 13 and multiple sixth connectors 14. A fifth connector 13 is provided between each two adjacent sub-columns 800 that make up the first column 20. The fifth connector 13 has a fifth receiving cavity.
