Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind power technology, and in particular relates to a platform for integrating offshore wind power and marine aquaculture cages. Background Technology

[0002] An offshore wind power platform is a structure built on the ocean for installing and operating wind turbines (commonly known as "windmills"). Its main function is to convert wind energy into electrical energy. Compared with onshore wind power, offshore wind power typically has advantages such as better wind resources, no land occupation, and less visual impact. Marine aquaculture cages are aquaculture facilities set up in the ocean, consisting of a frame system, a netting system, an anchoring system, and auxiliary facilities. Like an "underwater fence" built in the sea, they confine high-value aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, and crabs in a controlled environment for intensive, high-density farming, ultimately enabling commercial harvesting. To ensure stability on the sea surface, wind power platforms are designed to be large enough, resulting in a large amount of unused space and low utilization rate.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs an integrated platform for offshore wind power and marine aquaculture cages to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a platform that integrates offshore wind power and marine aquaculture cages in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An integrated platform for offshore wind power and marine aquaculture cages includes a wind turbine generator set, a steel structure frame installed outside the wind turbine generator set, the steel structure frame including four mounting frames and support rods, the support rods being connected between two adjacent mounting frames and welded to the wind turbine generator set, an automated marine aquaculture cage installed inside the mounting frame, a floating structure installed outside the mounting frame, a fixed anchor fixedly installed under the floating structure, a lifting and adjusting mechanism installed on the support rods, a big data computing container installed at the bottom end of the lifting and adjusting mechanism, and photovoltaic panels installed on the mounting frame.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The floating structure includes a pontoon, which is threaded onto the outside of the mounting frame via a mounting bracket. Two water pumps are installed inside the pontoon, with the drain end of each pump located in an outlet on the pontoon. An inlet is located at the bottom of the pontoon, and a control valve is installed inside the inlet. A water level sensor is installed inside the pontoon, and a water level limit controller is located outside the water level sensor.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The automated marine aquaculture tank is equipped with four guide rails, and push plates are slidably connected within the four guide rails. The push plates are inclined, and a first steel cable is connected to the push plate. A first winding reel is connected to the top of the first steel cable, and a first motor is installed on the side of the first winding reel. The first motor is mounted on the automated marine aquaculture tank, and a second motor is installed on the side of the automated marine aquaculture tank. A folding door is installed outside the output shaft of the second motor, and a fish outlet is opened on the side of the automated marine aquaculture tank corresponding to the position of the folding door.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a truss mounted on a strut, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the side of the truss, a connecting gear fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft, a drive gear meshing on the connecting gear, a third motor mounted on the side of the drive gear, the third motor mounted on the truss, two second winding reels fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, a second steel cable provided outside the second winding reels, and the bottom end of the second steel cable connected to the big data computing power container.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The big data computing power container is equipped with a rotary winding mechanism. The rotary winding mechanism includes a fourth motor installed under the big data computing power container. The output shaft of the fourth motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod. A bearing located under the big data computing power container is rotatably connected to the rotating rod. A third winding reel is installed outside the rotating rod. A third steel cable is provided outside the third winding reel. An anchor is connected to the bottom end of the third steel cable.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The anchor includes an anchor, on which a rotating seat is mounted, and the third steel cable is mounted on the rotating seat. A spiral plate is mounted on the conical surface of the anchor.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The anchor has a honeycomb structure on its arc surface.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The big data computing power container is equipped with an upper baffle buffer mechanism and a lower baffle buffer mechanism on its side. The upper baffle buffer mechanism includes a fifth motor installed on the side of the big data computing power container. The output shaft of the fifth motor is fixedly connected to a crossbar. A contact plate is rotatably connected to the crossbar. A torsion spring is sleeved on the crossbar. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the crossbar and the contact plate, respectively.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: A baffle is installed on the side of the contact plate away from the big data computing power container. Support columns are installed on the sides of two adjacent mounting frames that are close to each other. The position of the baffle corresponds to the position of the support column. When the baffle moves upward, it can fit against the side of the corresponding support column. The width of the baffle is smaller than the diameter of the support column. The upper baffle buffer mechanism and the lower baffle buffer mechanism have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: The big data computing power container is equipped with a telescopic support mechanism, which includes a support frame installed under the big data computing power container. A partition is installed inside the support frame, and a bidirectional electro-hydraulic rod is installed inside the support frame. Telescopic plates are installed at the two output ends of the bidirectional electro-hydraulic rod, and a pad is installed on the side of the mounting frame closest to the big data computing power container.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, through the water level control system within the floating structure, the platform can actively adjust its draft. Before a typhoon, the system can inject water into the buoys, increasing the overall weight and draft of the platform, significantly lowering the center of gravity, thereby greatly improving the platform's anti-capsulation ability and stability. After the storm, the platform can be dewatered and resurfaced to resume normal operation. This active adjustment mechanism gives the platform unprecedented environmental adaptability and survivability. 2. Highly Efficient Automated Fish Harvesting System: This invention designs a fully automated fish harvesting process, completely solving the problems of low efficiency and high risk in traditional offshore operations. During fish harvesting, the system first raises the aquaculture tank by dewatering, ensuring its outlet precisely connects to the transport vessel. Subsequently, the automatic door opens, and a hydraulically or electrically driven pusher system... This method smoothly and quickly pushes schools of fish into fishing boats without any manual intervention in the water, greatly improving operational efficiency and ensuring the safety of personnel and catches. It achieves efficient and stable fish hauling operations. The entire process is monitored for safety and fault diagnosis: the invention integrates an intelligent safety monitoring system. A water level sensor monitors real-time changes in the liquid level within the buoy, providing precise data feedback for platform lifting and lowering adjustments. More importantly, the system has self-diagnostic capabilities: if the water level sensor fails to detect a corresponding change within a preset time after the controller issues an inlet / outlet command, the system immediately determines that the buoy structure or pipeline is abnormal and triggers an alarm sensor. This proactive early warning mechanism nipps potential risks in the bud, greatly enhancing the platform's safety and reliability throughout its entire lifecycle.

[0016] 2. Addressing the challenge of generating enormous heat when the big data computing container operates under high load, this invention abandons traditional high-energy-consuming air conditioning solutions and innovatively employs direct seawater cooling. Through a lifting and adjusting mechanism, the entire container can be precisely lowered below the sea surface, utilizing the vast ocean as a natural and efficient radiator to achieve excellent heat dissipation with extremely low energy consumption, ensuring the stable operation of the computing unit. Energy-saving and reliable mechanical maintenance support: During equipment maintenance, this invention provides a safe, convenient, and energy-efficient maintenance solution. First, the container is raised above the sea surface, away from the seawater environment. Subsequently, the telescopic support mechanism extends, precisely aligning the telescopic plate below with the pad on the platform. At this point, the system releases the lifting steel cable, allowing the entire weight of the container to be stably borne by the telescopic support mechanism. The ingenuity of this design lies in transferring the continuous lifting load during maintenance to a purely mechanical support structure, which brings many benefits: First, it greatly reduces the continuous energy consumption and mechanical wear of the lifting motor, extending its service life; second, the mechanical support provides a much more stable and safer maintenance platform than wire rope suspension, facilitating personnel to open the container and ensuring the safety and convenience of the maintenance process.

[0017] 3. In this invention, the rotary winding mechanism utilizes a spiral plate on its surface that interacts with seawater during anchor lowering. This hydrodynamic torque drives the anchor to rotate, much like an "underwater screw," automatically and efficiently drilling into the seabed sediment. This greatly simplifies the installation process. Once in place, the spiral plate structure significantly increases the contact area and gripping force with the seabed sediment, creating superior pull-out resistance and ensuring absolute stability of the anchoring point. Dynamic bidirectional tensioning stability: The core value of this system lies in its "dynamic" characteristics. Whether the container is submerged in seawater or being lifted for maintenance, the rotary winding mechanism precisely controls the cable retraction to ensure it is always subjected to tension from both sides. This bidirectional tensioning transforms a potentially freely swinging heavy object into a rigidly constrained stable node. It effectively suppresses swaying caused by ocean currents and the lifting process, providing a near-static "shock-absorbing platform" for precision computing equipment, ensuring stable operation under any working conditions.

[0018] 4. In this invention, an upper and lower baffle buffer mechanism is used. Although a bidirectional tensioning and anchoring system exists, the disturbance of ocean currents may still cause slight horizontal displacement of the container during lifting and lowering. This poses a challenge to its precise entry between the two narrow mounting frames. This invention cleverly solves this problem through the upper and lower baffle buffer mechanisms. Before lifting and lowering, the contact plate automatically unfolds under the drive of the fifth motor and torsion spring, forming a funnel-shaped or trumpet-shaped guide channel that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the container moves upward, even if there is an initial positional deviation, the inclined contact plate can automatically correct its center position through its inclined surface action, guiding the container upward. The system guides the container smoothly into the installation frame, achieving highly fault-tolerant and precise docking. Passive buffer protection: Another core value of this system lies in its excellent buffer protection capability. The contact plate is driven by a torsion spring, possessing elasticity. When the container contacts the contact plate, the torsion spring absorbs most of the kinetic energy of its horizontal swaying, acting as flexible damping. This design effectively avoids rigid collisions, preventing structural damage to the container body and installation frame, and protecting the internal precision computing unit from impact vibrations. It ensures that the entire lifting process is not only precise but also absolutely safe, greatly improving the reliability and service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 15 This invention provides a technical solution: an integrated platform for offshore wind power and marine aquaculture cages, comprising a wind turbine generator 1, a steel structure frame 2 installed outside the wind turbine generator 1, the steel structure frame 2 including four mounting frames and support rods, the support rods being connected between two adjacent mounting frames and welded to the wind turbine generator 1, an automated marine aquaculture cage 5 installed inside the mounting frame, a floating structure 3 installed outside the mounting frame, a fixed anchor 6 fixedly installed under the floating structure 3, a lifting and adjusting mechanism 15 installed on the support rods, a big data computing container 7 installed at the bottom end of the lifting and adjusting mechanism 15, and photovoltaic panels 4 installed on the mounting frame.

[0023] The higher the location above the water surface, the faster the wind speed. Therefore, in order to make full use of wind power, the wind turbine generator 1 is set at a certain height. At this height, it is subjected to greater wind impact force, which can make full use of wind power to generate electricity. However, when encountering typhoons, the wind force is too strong and the impact on the wind turbine generator 1 is too great, which can cause impact damage to it. The support cylinder of the wind turbine generator 1 consists of an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. An electro-hydraulic rod is installed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. The electro-hydraulic rod can control the height of the wind turbine generator 1. When a strong typhoon comes, the height of the wind turbine generator 1 can be lowered to enhance stability, reduce the impact of the typhoon, and resist strong typhoons at sea. The system employs an installation frame and an automated seawater aquaculture tank 5, which are designed to work together. The automated seawater aquaculture tank 5 is directly embedded into the installation frame, achieving the integration of wind power and aquaculture. This fully utilizes the space on the traditional wind power generation platform, making the platform more functional and ensuring space utilization. The wind turbine generator set has a rated power of 16MW; a rotor diameter of 240m; an average annual wind speed of 10m / s; a maximum wind speed of 72m / s; a photovoltaic panel area of ​​4800m2; and an installed capacity of 1MWp. This integrated platform combines wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, marine aquaculture, and big data computing. It is equipped with a 16 MW wind turbine and a 1 MW photovoltaic power generation system. The platform consists of four aquaculture areas and four floating structures. The bottom is equipped with a big data container system that can be used for anchoring and eight fixed anchor systems, which can withstand a category 17 typhoon.

[0024] The wind turbines and photovoltaic power generation mainly supply power to the aquaculture area and the big data operation. The aquaculture area adopts intelligent and automated aquaculture, which can achieve 24-hour unattended operation. The big data area uses standard containers and modular configuration to realize the local consumption of wind power and photovoltaic power generation, thereby improving the efficiency of new energy utilization. This platform is applicable to most of the eastern sea areas. The establishment of the big data system is of great significance for the insufficient computing power resources in the east and the promotion of green development of big data.

[0025] The floating structure 3 includes a float 31, which is threaded onto the outside of the mounting frame via a mounting bracket. Two water pumps 32 are installed inside the float 31, and the drain end of the water pumps 32 is located in the outlet 33 opened on the float 31. An inlet 36 is opened at the bottom of the float 31, and a control valve is installed inside the inlet 36. A water level sensor 34 is installed inside the float 31, and a water level limit controller 35 is installed outside the water level sensor 34.

[0026] The pontoon 31 is made of strong and tough high-molecular-weight polyethylene and other materials, which has good weather resistance and impact resistance, and can resist ultraviolet rays, freezing, seawater chemicals and oil stains.

[0027] When a typhoon approaches, to increase the platform's stability, the water level limit controller 35 slides upwards on the surface of the water level sensor 34, adjusting the liquid level inside the float 31. This increases the seawater storage inside the float 31, increasing the overall draft of the platform and improving its stability and typhoon resistance. When harvesting fish, the water pump 32 can be controlled to drain the water from the float 31, reducing the seawater storage and raising the platform's height. This allows the automated marine aquaculture tank 5 to be raised, facilitating the smooth transfer of fish into the fishing boat and ensuring a stable harvesting process. The water level sensor 34 is used to detect changes in the liquid level inside the float 31, determining whether the water intake and drainage processes are normal. If changes in the liquid level cannot be detected by the water level sensor during intake or drainage, it indicates an abnormality in the float structure 3. The controller then triggers an alarm via an alarm sensor, increasing the platform's safety and reliability.

[0028] The automated marine aquaculture tank 5 is equipped with four guide rails 8, and push plates 9 are slidably connected within the four guide rails 8. The push plates 9 are tilted and connected to a first steel cable 10. The top of the first steel cable 10 is connected to a first winding reel 11. A first motor 12 is installed on the side of the first winding reel 11. The first motor 12 is installed on the automated marine aquaculture tank 5. A second motor 14 is installed on the side of the automated marine aquaculture tank 5. A folding door 13 is installed outside the output shaft of the second motor 14. A fish outlet is opened on the side of the automated marine aquaculture tank 5 corresponding to the position of the folding door 13.

[0029] When the fish in the automated marine aquaculture tank 5 need to be collected, the fishing boat is positioned at the corresponding fish outlet. Then, the second motor 14 is controlled to drive the folding door 13 to rotate downwards, at which point the fish outlet is opened. The first motor 12 is then controlled to rotate, and the first motor 12 winds the first steel cable 10 through the first winding reel 11. The first steel cable 10 pulls the push plate 9 upwards, and the push plate 9 pushes the fish upwards and through the fish outlet into the fishing boat, automatically and quickly completing the collection of all the fish.

[0030] The aquaculture tanks are 30x30x30m in size, with a total volume of 108,000 cubic meters for the four tanks. They are made of high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which has strong corrosion resistance and is conducive to floating in the sea for a long time.

[0031] The lifting and adjusting mechanism 15 includes a truss 151 mounted on a support rod. A rotating shaft 152 is rotatably connected to the side of the truss 151. A connecting gear 153 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 152. A drive gear 154 meshes with the connecting gear 153. A third motor 155 is mounted on the side of the drive gear 154. The third motor 155 is mounted on the truss 151. Two second winding reels 156 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 152. A second steel cable 157 is provided outside the second winding reels 156. The bottom end of the second steel cable 157 is connected to the big data computing container 7.

[0032] The big data computing container 7 generates a lot of heat during operation, resulting in a high temperature. After the platform is fully installed, the third motor 155 drives the connecting gear 153, the rotating shaft 152, and the second winding reel 156 to rotate via the drive gear 154. The second winding reel 156 unwinds the second steel cable 157, controlling the big data computing container 7 to move down into the seawater, where it is submerged to increase its heat dissipation efficiency. When personnel need to inspect or maintain the big data computing container 7, the second winding reel 156 can be controlled to wind the second steel cable 157 to lift the big data computing container 7 upwards, raising it above the sea surface without contact with the seawater. This allows for easy opening of the big data computing container 7 for inspection or maintenance, resulting in a more ideal level of safety and convenience.

[0033] A rotary winding mechanism 16 is installed under the big data computing power container 7. The rotary winding mechanism 16 includes a fourth motor 161 installed under the big data computing power container 7. The output shaft of the fourth motor 161 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 162. A bearing located under the big data computing power container 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 162. A third winding reel 163 is installed outside the rotating rod 162. A third steel cable 164 is provided outside the third winding reel 163. An anchor 165 is connected to the bottom end of the third steel cable 164.

[0034] When the big data computing container 7 is submerged in seawater for heat dissipation, its bottom is not positioned; it relies solely on the upper traction for positioning. This causes the container to sway to a certain extent with the seawater flow. Prolonged exposure to this swaying environment can damage internal components and even affect its normal operation and use. The fourth motor 161, through the rotating rod 162, the third winding reel 163, and the third steel cable 164, controls the anchor 165 to descend into the seabed sediment. The anchor 165 applies tension to the lower side of the container 7, ensuring... The big data computing container 7 is relatively stable in seawater. When the big data computing container 7 is pulled upwards for maintenance, the fourth motor 161 controls the third reel 163 to unfold the third steel cable 164, so that the upward speed of the big data computing container 7 is the same as the unfolding speed of the third steel cable 164. Therefore, during the movement of the big data computing container 7, both the upper and lower sides are under tension, ensuring that the upward movement of the big data computing container 7 and its state in seawater are relatively stable, thus ensuring the stable working state of the big data computing container 7 to a certain extent.

[0035] Anchor 165 includes anchor 1651, on which a rotating seat 1652 is mounted, and a third steel cable 164 is mounted on the rotating seat 1652. A spiral plate 1654 is mounted on the conical surface of anchor 1651.

[0036] When the anchor 1651 is rapidly descending under the control of the third steel cable 164, the spiral plate 1654 on the surface of the anchor 1651 experiences a pressure due to the contact between the spiral plate 1654 and the seawater. When the water flow impacts the inclined spiral plate 1654, the water exerts pressure on the spiral plate 1654. This force is perpendicular to the surface of the spiral plate 1654 and can be decomposed into: a vertically upward component (resistance): this force hinders the descent of the spiral column; and a horizontal component: this force acts on the blades, its direction being tangential to the blades. The direction is consistent; since the point of application of this horizontal component is not on the central axis of the anchor 1651, it generates a torque on the central axis. The torque drives the entire anchor 1651 to start rotating. The rotating anchor 1651 can be smoothly inserted into the mud and sand on the seabed, making the fixing process of the anchor 1651 smooth and efficient. Moreover, when the spiral plate 1654 is inserted into the mud and sand, it increases the contact area between the anchor 1651 and the mud and sand, and the resistance of the anchor 1651 when moving upward increases, which greatly increases the stability of the anchor 1651 itself.

[0037] The arc surface of anchor 1651 is provided with a honeycomb structure 1653.

[0038] From an ecological perspective, the honeycomb structure 1653 creates habitats for small marine organisms. The side of the big data computing power container 7 is equipped with an upper baffle buffer mechanism 17 and a lower baffle buffer mechanism 18. The upper baffle buffer mechanism 17 includes a fifth motor 171 installed on the side of the big data computing power container 7. The output shaft of the fifth motor 171 is fixedly connected to a crossbar 172. A contact plate 173 is rotatably connected to the crossbar 172. A torsion spring 174 is sleeved on the crossbar 172. The two ends of the torsion spring 174 are fixedly connected to the crossbar 172 and the contact plate 173, respectively.

[0039] When the big data computing container 7 moves vertically, because it is only pulled by the steel cables on the top and bottom sides, it may sway horizontally due to the seawater flow, resulting in collisions between the container 7 and the mounting frame or the container 7 failing to move upwards between two adjacent mounting frames. The fifth motor 171 controls the rotation of the crossbar 172. During the rotation of the crossbar 172, the torque of the torsion spring 174 drives the contact plate 173 to rotate, thereby unfolding the contact plate 173. When maintenance is required, the big data computing container 7 is moved upward by the lifting and adjusting mechanism 15, and the contact plate 173 in the upper baffle buffer mechanism 17 is unfolded. The two inclined contact plates 173 guide the big data computing container 7, allowing it to smoothly enter between the two mounting frames. The torque of the torsion spring 174 acting on the contact plate 173 buffers the swaying of the big data computing container 7, avoiding collision damage between the big data computing container 7 and the mounting frame, and allowing the big data computing container 7 to move smoothly and safely in the vertical direction.

[0040] A baffle plate 175 is installed on the side of the contact plate 173 away from the big data computing power container 7. Support columns 20 are installed on the sides of two adjacent mounting frames that are close to each other. The position of the baffle plate 175 corresponds to the position of the support column 20. When the baffle plate 175 moves upward, it can fit against the side of the corresponding support column 20. The width of the baffle plate 175 is smaller than the diameter of the support column 20. The upper baffle buffer mechanism 17 and the lower baffle buffer mechanism 18 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged.

[0041] When the big data computing container 7 is located between the two mounting frames, the lack of limiting measures causes it to move horizontally and detach from the two mounting frames, affecting the stability of its vertical movement. As the big data computing container 7 moves upward, the contact plate 173 unfolds and moves against the surface of the support column 20. At the same time, the two baffles 175 adhere to the sides of the support column 20, forming a combination where the two baffles 175 clamp the support column 20. The support column 20 limits and guides the baffles 175, ensuring that the baffles 175 move stably in a straight line on the surface of the support column 20. This prevents the big data computing container 7 from detaching from the two mounting frames, making the height adjustment process of the big data computing container 7 between the two mounting frames more stable and safe.

[0042] The big data computing container 7 is equipped with a telescopic support mechanism 19. The telescopic support mechanism 19 includes a support frame 191 installed under the big data computing container 7, a partition 192 installed inside the support frame 191, a bidirectional electro-hydraulic rod 193 installed inside the support frame 191, telescopic plates 194 installed at the two output ends of the bidirectional electro-hydraulic rod 193, and a pad 21 installed on the side of the mounting frame closest to the big data computing container 7.

[0043] The third motor 155 drives the rotating shaft 152 and the second winding reel 156 to rotate. The second winding reel 156 pulls the big data computing container 7 upward by winding the second steel cable 157 until the big data computing container 7 moves to the upper side of the mounting frame for maintenance. However, the big data computing container 7 is kept in a stable state by the third motor 155 applying tension to the rotating shaft 152, resulting in continuous energy consumption and damage to the third motor 155. At this time, the bidirectional electric hydraulic rod 193 is extended and the telescopic plate 194 moves to the upper side of the pad 21. Then, the third motor 155 drives the rotating shaft 152 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second winding reel 156 releases the second steel cable 157, and the big data computing container 7 moves downward. The telescopic plate 194 lands stably on the pad 21, supporting the big data computing container 7. The big data computing container 7 does not need to be lifted by the third motor 155, reducing energy consumption and minimizing damage to the third motor 155.

[0044] Working principle and usage: The platform is placed directly on the sea surface, and the fixed anchor 6 is used to position the platform on the sea surface. The controller is used to open the control valve, and seawater flows into the float 31 through the inlet 36. At this time, the amount of seawater inside the float 31 increases, and the water level sensor 34 judges the water level height inside the float 31 until the water level moves to the position of the water level limit controller 35. At this time, the controller closes the control valve, and the seawater in the float 31 flows in the preset amount. At this time, the height adjustment of the platform is completed. Then, the third motor 155 is controlled to drive the rotating shaft 152 and the second take-up reel 156 to rotate. While the second take-up reel 156 rotates, the second steel cable 157 is unwound. At the same time, the big data computing container 7 moves downward. At this time, the baffle plate 175 in the lower baffle buffer mechanism 18 is stuck on the side of the support column 20 to limit the big data computing container 7 and prevent the big data computing container 7 from detaching from the two adjacent mounting frames during the downward movement. At the same time, the torsion spring 174 acts on the contact plate 173. The contact plates 173 on both sides of the big data computing container 7 are tightly attached to the surface of the support column 20 through torsion, which buffers the possible swaying of the big data computing container 7 and reduces the probability of collision between the big data computing container 7 and the support column 20 until the big data computing container 7 is completely submerged in seawater. At this time, the fifth motor 171 is controlled to run. The fifth motor 171 controls the crossbar 172 and the contact plate 173 to rotate until the contact plate 173 is attached to the surface of the big data computing container 7. At this time, the fourth motor 161 controls the rotating rod 162 to rotate. When the rotating rod 162 rotates, the third winding reel 163 controls the third steel cable 164 to unfold. At this time, the anchor 1651 moves downward quickly. Due to the rotating seat 1652 set between the third steel cable 164 and the anchor 1651, the two can rotate relative to each other. While the anchor 1651 moves downward, it is guided by the spiral plate 1654, so that the anchor 1651 rotates while moving downward quickly. The anchor 1651 is smoothly inserted into the mud and sand on the seabed. The spiral plate 1654 increases the resistance to the upward movement of the anchor 1651, so that the anchor 1651 is stably inserted into the mud and sand. Then, the fourth motor 161 controls the third winding reel 163 to rotate in the opposite direction through the rotating rod 162. The third winding reel 163 winds up and tightens the third steel cable 164, applying tension to the bottom of the big data computing container 7, so that the big data computing container 7 remains stable. When maintenance is required on the big data computing container 7, firstly, the third motor 155 is controlled to drive the rotating shaft 152 and the second winding reel 156 to rotate. The second winding reel 156 pulls the big data computing container 7 upward by winding the second steel cable 157. At the same time, the fifth motor 171 in the upper baffle buffer mechanism 17 is controlled to operate. The fifth motor 171 controls the contact plate 173 to rotate away from the big data computing container 7 to a specified angle through the crossbar 172. During the upward movement, the contact plate 173 contacts the support column 20, and at the same time, the baffle plate 175 moves upward against the side of the support column 20. The torsion spring 174 may... The swaying is buffered to reduce the probability of collision between the big data computing container 7 and the support column 20, and to prevent the big data computing container 7 from detaching from the two adjacent mounting frames during the downward movement. Until the big data computing container 7 moves upward to the upper side of the mounting frame, the bidirectional electric hydraulic rod 193 is extended and the telescopic plate 194 moves to the upper side of the pad 21. At this time, the third motor 155 drives the rotating shaft 152 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the second steel cable 157 is released through the second reel 156. The big data computing container 7 moves downward and the telescopic plate 194 is stably placed on the pad 21. At this time, the big data computing container 7 is inspected. When it is necessary to collect the fish in the automated seawater aquaculture tank 5, the fishing boat is moored at the corresponding fish outlet position, and then the second motor 14 is controlled to drive the folding door 13 to rotate downward. At this time, the fish outlet is opened, and the first motor 12 is controlled to rotate. The first motor 12 winds the first steel cable 10 through the first winding reel 11. The first steel cable 10 pulls the push plate 9 to move upward. The push plate 9 pushes the fish upward and falls into the fishing boat through the fish outlet.
