Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquaculture platform technology, and in particular to a typhoon-resistant aquaculture platform with a fixed anchor and airbag lifting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of aquaculture, oyster farming equipment has gradually shifted from traditional cement pile and shed-style farming to pile-raft, floating rope, and floating raft (floating platform) farming, improving farming efficiency and reducing costs. Pile-raft farming is affected by tides, allowing only half a day of actual fishing time each day. Farmers often have to go out to sea in the middle of the night and wait for the tide to recede to a suitable level before starting work, making it very cumbersome. Floating rope farming uses PE and inflatable buoys as floats, with several buoys tied to cables, allowing oysters to be farmed in strings.

[0003] Existing oyster farming equipment is vulnerable to strong winds at sea, especially in areas with frequent strong winds where it is almost unusable. Strong winds often blow the farmed oysters away from the farming area, causing heavy losses to farmers. Manually sinking them to the seabed to resist the strong winds is a complex operation, and the sinking work is often not completed in time, still causing serious losses. Summary of the Invention

[0023] This invention provides a 303-type lifting and typhoon-resistant aquaculture platform with a fixed anchor and airbag design. Figures 1 to 2 This is an embodiment of the 303 lifting and typhoon-resistant aquaculture platform with fixed piles provided by the present invention.

[0024] With the development of aquaculture, the pile-and-raft suspension method is affected by tides, resulting in limited operating time. Floating rope suspension relies on buoys for buoyancy, but its ability to withstand wind and waves is insufficient. Extreme weather such as typhoons can easily cause the aquaculture cages to shift or be damaged. Traditional fixed structures cannot flexibly adjust the aquaculture depth, causing the cultured organisms to be exposed to strong winds and waves.

[0025] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 2 The staking-fixed airbag 303 lifting and typhoon-resistant aquaculture platform includes multiple legs 1, multiple suspension ropes 9, a monitoring device 4, and multiple sinking structures 3. The multiple legs 1 are fixed to the seabed and are spaced apart. Each suspension rope 9 is positioned between adjacent legs 1, and each rope 9 has multiple aquaculture cages 2 for placing aquatic organisms. The monitoring device 4 is mounted on each leg 1 for observing the aquaculture cages 2. The plurality of sinking structures 3 include a counterweight 304, an airbag 303, a pulley 302, and a sinking seat 301. The sinking seat 301 is sleeved on the pile leg 1. The pulley 302 is disposed on the sinking seat 301 and slides along the length extension direction of the pile leg 1. The counterweight 304 is disposed on the sinking seat 301 and installed on the end of the hoisting rope 9. The airbag 303 is installed on the counterweight 304 to make the counterweight 304 float.

[0026] The pile legs 1 can be steel pipe piles or concrete piles, fixed by being driven into the seabed, and the spacing can be adjusted according to the sea area conditions. The hoisting rope 9 is a corrosion-resistant cable, and the aquaculture cage 2 is fixed to the cable by hooks or straps. The monitoring device 4 includes a camera or sensor and is installed on the top or middle of the pile legs 1. The sinking seat 301 adopts a ring sleeve structure, and the inner wall is equipped with a slide rail that cooperates with the pulley 302. The pulley 302 can be made of nylon or metal bearings. The counterweight 304 is a concrete block or metal block, and the air bladder 303 generates buoyancy by inflation. The inflation method can be a manual air pump or an automatic air supply device.

[0027] When a typhoon strikes, the airbag 303 inflates, causing the counterweight 304 to rise, which in turn lifts the suspension rope 9 and the aquaculture cage 2 to near the water surface. When it is necessary to sink, the air is released, and the counterweight 304 slides down the support leg 1 due to gravity, causing the aquaculture cage 2 to descend to a safe depth. The pulley 302 reduces the frictional resistance between the sinking seat 301 and the support leg 1, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering. The monitoring device 4 provides real-time feedback on the position of the aquaculture cage 2, allowing for adjustments to the inflation level of the airbag 303 to control the levitation height.

[0028] Therefore, the monitoring device 4 is installed on the leg 1 for observing the aquaculture cage 2. The multiple sinking structures 3 include a counterweight 304, an airbag 303, a pulley 302, and a sinking seat 301. The sinking seat 301 is fitted onto the leg 1, the pulley 302 is mounted on the sinking seat 301 and slides along the length of the leg 1, the counterweight 304 is mounted on the sinking seat 301 and installed at the end of the suspension rope 9, and the airbag 303 is mounted on the counterweight 304 to make the counterweight 304 float. Through the synergistic effect of the counterweight and the airbag 303, the depth of the aquaculture cage 2 can be controlled and adjusted, avoiding direct impact from strong winds and waves. The fixed structure of the leg 1 provides stable support, and the sliding design of the pulley 302 reduces mechanical wear and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0029] In order to maintain the stable suspension of the suspension rope 9 and the breeding cage 2, reduce the risk of physical damage to the cultured animals caused by typhoons or tidal changes, and at the same time reduce the frequency of manual adjustment of the height of the suspension rope 9 and extend the effective working time, it is necessary to ensure that the overall buoyancy distribution of the suspension rope 9 is uniform.

[0030] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, each of the suspension ropes 9 is provided with at least one float 8.

[0031] The buoy 8 refers to a hollow or inflatable floating device that provides buoyancy. Specifically, it can be a sealed hollow sphere made of polyethylene or an inflatable rubber sphere. Its own buoyancy counteracts the weight of the suspension rope 9 and the aquaculture cage 2, preventing the suspension rope 9 from saging excessively. At least one buoy 8 is installed on the suspension rope 9 between two adjacent legs 1, and the buoy 8 is fixed to the surface of the suspension rope 9 by ropes or clips. When typhoons or strong waves hit, the buoy 8 supports the suspension rope 9 with buoyancy, preventing the aquaculture cages 2 from colliding with each other or contacting the seabed due to excessive sag of the suspension rope 9. During tidal changes, the buoy 8 can automatically adjust the suspension height of the suspension rope 9 according to the water level, ensuring that the aquaculture cage 2 remains within the preset water depth range.

[0032] To meet the operational requirements of quickly adjusting the buoyancy of the airbag 303 during typhoon weather, the integrated design of the air pump and the work platform 7 makes equipment maintenance and operation more convenient. The directional delivery of the air pipe avoids the risk of gas leakage, thereby ensuring the stability of the aquaculture platform against wind and waves in harsh sea conditions.

[0033] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the pile legs 1 is provided with a work platform 7 on its top. The work platform 7 is provided with an inflation structure, which includes an air pump and an inflation pipe. The air pump is installed on the work platform 7, and one end of the inflation pipe is connected to the air pump and the other end is connected to the airbag 303.

[0034] The workbench 7 refers to the operating platform set on top of the pile leg 1. Specifically, it can be constructed using a welded steel frame with anti-slip steel plates laid on the surface. This platform supports equipment such as the air pump and provides working space for operators. The air pump is the power device used to inject gas into the airbag 303. Specifically, it can be an electric piston air compressor, which compresses air and delivers it to the inside of the airbag 303 via electric drive. The inflation pipe is the flexible pipe connecting the air pump and the airbag 303. Specifically, it can be a corrosion-resistant rubber hose or a polyethylene flexible hose, used to transfer compressed air from the air pump to the inside of the airbag 303 to achieve volume changes in the airbag 303.

[0035] When a typhoon approaches and the height of the aquaculture platform needs to be adjusted, the operator can start the air pump on the work platform 7 at the top of the support leg 1. Compressed air is delivered through the air inflator to the airbag 303 installed on the counterweight 304. As the airbag 303 inflates, its buoyancy increases, causing the counterweight 304 to rise, thereby pulling the aquaculture cage 2 to a safe height via the hoisting rope 9. The length of the air inflator can be adapted according to the height of the support leg 1, for example, by using a segmented connection or a spiral winding method to ensure unobstructed airflow between the air pump and the airbag 303.

[0036] Furthermore, the workbench 7 is provided with a take-up structure, which includes a take-up reel and a drive unit. The take-up reel is disposed on the workbench 7 and is used to take up and put down the inflation tube. The drive unit is drivenly connected to the take-up reel.

[0037] The take-up reel is a winding device used to wind and release the inflation hose. It can be implemented using a cylindrical structure with grooves, the shape of which matches the outer diameter of the inflation hose to prevent slippage. The drive unit is a mechanical device that provides power output. It can be implemented using a geared motor or a manual crank, connected to the take-up reel via gear or belt drive to achieve controllable adjustment of the inflation hose length.

[0038] One end of the inflation hose is connected to the air pump, and the other end extends through the groove of the reel to the airbag 303. When a typhoon approaches and the platform needs to be lowered, the drive mechanism rotates the reel to release the inflation hose, causing the airbag 303 to descend with the sinker 301. When it is necessary to rise, the drive mechanism reverses its rotation to retrieve the inflation hose, causing the counterweight 304 to move upward. The inflation hose is always guided by the reel during the deployment and retrieval process to prevent the hose from becoming tangled or overstretched due to wind and waves.

[0039] Furthermore, the workbench 7 is covered with a protective cover, and the top of the protective cover has an opening.

[0040] The protective cover is fixed to the workbench 7 by welding or bolting, with the top opening corresponding to the area where the air pump and inflation hose are located. When typhoons or strong waves occur, the protective cover's enclosed structure prevents seawater from directly impacting the workbench 7, while the top opening allows for the normal expansion and contraction of the inflation hose without making maintenance difficult due to the cover being completely sealed. For example, the inflation hose can extend through the opening to the airbag 303, allowing operators to perform inflation without disassembling the protective cover. Drainage holes can be provided on the side walls of the protective cover to further reduce the risk of internal water accumulation.

[0041] Furthermore, the protective cover is equipped with a drive motor, which drives a sealing door connected to the cover, and the sealing door is located at the opening of the protective cover.

[0042] A drive motor is a device that provides power to control the opening and closing of a sealed door. It can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, transmitting power to the sealed door via gear or belt drive. The sealed door is a movable structure that covers the opening of the protective cover. It can be made of metal sheet or composite materials, with rubber sealing strips at the edges for waterproofing.

[0043] When a typhoon approaches or protection is needed, the drive motor receives a control signal and moves the sealing door along the track, completely covering the opening at the top of the protective cover. Once closed, the sealing door forms a sealed space with the protective cover through the edge sealing strip, preventing external rainwater and strong winds from entering the protective cover. Under normal operating conditions, the drive motor can reverse to return the sealing door to its original position, restoring ventilation and light transmission functions to the opening.

[0044] To address the insufficient wind and wave resistance caused by the fixed position of the protective structure of traditional aquaculture platforms, a protective cover is designed with adjustable height according to actual sea conditions. This reduces the risk of impact during typhoons while preventing obstruction of the monitoring view during daily operations, achieving a dynamic balance between equipment protection and functional use on the work platform 7. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the work platform 7 is equipped with a lifting structure, which includes a drive device. The drive device drives the protective cover to move along the length extension direction of the pile leg 1.

[0045] The lifting structure mounted on top of the workbench 7 is connected to the protective cover via a drive unit. When a typhoon approaches or equipment maintenance is required, the drive unit outputs power to move the protective cover along the axial direction of the pile leg 1. For example, during a typhoon warning, the protective cover can be lowered to the middle section of the pile leg 1 to reduce the wind-exposed area; during normal operation, the protective cover can be raised to the top of the pile leg 1 to avoid obstructing the view of the monitoring device 4. The lifting path of the protective cover is constrained by a guide structure set on the surface of the pile leg 1 to ensure that no deviation occurs during the movement.

[0046] Furthermore, a limiting mechanism is provided between the workbench 7 and the protective cover. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting block and a limiting groove. One of the limiting block and the limiting groove is provided on the workbench 7, and the other is provided on the protective cover.

[0047] When the drive unit moves the protective cover along the pile leg 1, the limiting block engages with the limiting groove to form a sliding fit. For example, if the limiting block is fixed to the inner wall of the protective cover, the limiting groove is formed on the guide frame at the edge of the worktable 7. After the two engage, the protective cover is only allowed to move axially along the pile leg 1. This design can effectively prevent the protective cover from swaying due to wind or water flow impact in harsh environments such as typhoons, while ensuring the alignment accuracy of the protective cover opening and the sealing door.

[0048] In order to obtain the distance data between the workbench 7 and the sunken seat 301 in real time, provide an accurate basis for adjusting the inflation volume of the airbag 303, and effectively avoid structural interference caused by excessive distance, it is necessary to solve the problem of structural collision damage caused by abnormal sliding of the sunken seat 301 during typhoon weather. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a distance measuring device is provided at the bottom of the workbench 7 to detect the distance between the workbench 7 and the sunken seat 301.

[0049] A distance measuring device is a sensing device used to measure the distance between two objects. Specifically, it can be implemented using a laser rangefinder or an ultrasonic sensor, calculating distance data by emitting and receiving reflected signals. This device is installed at the bottom of the worktable 7 to monitor the relative position changes between the worktable 7 and the sliding recessed seat 301 below in real time.

[0050] The ranging device is mounted on the bottom surface of the workbench 7 via a fixed bracket, with its signal transmission direction perpendicularly pointing to the upper surface of the sliding sinker 301. When typhoons or waves cause the sinker 301 to slide along the pile leg 1, the ranging device continuously collects distance data between the two and transmits the data to the control terminal. The operator judges the movement range of the sinker 301 based on the real-time distance data and controls the movement range of the sinker 301 by adjusting the inflation of the airbag 303 or the position of the counterweight 304 to ensure a safe distance is maintained between the workbench 7 and the sinker 301.

[0051] To address the technical problem of limited power supply for offshore aquaculture platforms, a solar power system is used to reduce equipment operating costs, ensure the stable operation of the inflatable structure, monitoring device 4, and protective cover drive device during typhoons, reduce the risk of cable entanglement, and improve overall structural safety. Specifically, in the technical solution of this invention, the workbench 7 is equipped with multiple support rods 5, and each support rod 5 has a solar panel 6 at its top.

[0052] Solar panel 6 is a device that converts solar radiation energy into electrical energy. It can be implemented using monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules. It is connected to the electrical equipment on the workbench 7 via wires to provide a continuous power supply to the air pump, drive components, and monitoring device 4. Support rod 5 is fixed to the edge of the workbench 7 by flanges or bolts, and its top is secured to the solar panel 6 by clamps. The tilt angle of the solar panel 6 is adjustable to match the solar radiation conditions of different latitudes. A battery bank is installed inside the workbench 7. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel 6 is stored in the battery via a controller, powering the air inflation structure, cable reel structure, and ranging device, thus avoiding reliance on external power sources or diesel generators.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present invention using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
