Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing gear, and in particular relates to a square fishing cage. Background Art

[0002] A fishing cage is a tool used to catch fish, usually made of rope nets or bamboo. Fishermen place the fishing cage in the water, and it is difficult for fish to escape once they mistakenly enter the fishing cage. It is suitable for scenes such as rivers, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, streams, and shallow seas. It is widely used in fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and eel catching. In addition to fishing, there are also fishing cages specifically for breeding.

[0003] Fishing cages come in different shapes and sizes, including square, round, fixed, folding, spring, etc., which are selected according to the water conditions where the user is located. Square fishing cages are widely used because of their durability, good sinking effect, and more obvious anti-interference to water flow;

[0004] However, since the apertures of the fishing cages are of different sizes and cannot be automatically identified, in addition to the target fish, other algae and debris will be brought into the fishing cages by the fish and stuck on the mesh of the rope net. The inverted design of the fishing cages makes it difficult to remove these algae and debris from the fishing cages, resulting in low efficiency and unsatisfactory cleaning effects of the subsequent cleaning of the fishing cages. In the long run, bacteria and odors will grow on the fishing cages, which will not only affect the use of the fishing cages, but also affect the water quality when the fishing cages are put into the water again, resulting in the deterioration of the fish growth environment, making it easy for diseases to spread and infect, affecting the growth and development of fish, and thus affecting the breeding efficiency and fishermen's income.

It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the utility model, but does not constitute a limitation of the utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a square fishing cage, including a cage body 1, the cage body 1 is made of a metal frame 2 and a rope net 3, a plurality of openings are opened on the surface of the cage body 1, and an inlet bracket 4 is installed in each opening, and a plurality of inverted whiskers 5 are installed in the inlet bracket 4;

[0027] The inner wall of the inlet bracket 4 is grooved with a slide groove 6, and a plurality of vertical plates 7 are slidably connected in the slide groove 6. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 7. The rotating rod 13 is grooved with a connecting groove 15 on one side facing the inverted whisker 5.

[0028] The end surface of the inlet end of the inverted whisker 5 is fixedly mounted with a connecting plate 12 , and the connecting plate 12 is embedded in the connecting groove 15 .

[0029] In a specific application scenario, by embedding the "T"-shaped connecting plate 12 into the connecting groove 15, a linkage is formed between the connecting plate 12, the rotating rod 13, and the vertical plate 7, so that when the rotating rod 13 is extended, it drives the connecting plate 12 and the inverted whisker 5 to extend as a whole, so that the inverted whisker 5 is extended to unfold the inlet end of the inverted whisker 5 for fishing operations, and when cleaning is required, by releasing the elastic engagement between the buckle 8 and the slot 9, the sliding vertical plate 7 drives the rotating rod 13 and the inverted whisker 5 to fold, and drives the inverted whisker 5 to shrink as a whole at one end of the inlet bracket 4, so as to open the inlet bracket 4, and finally facilitate the user to pick and clean the algae and debris in the fishing cage. The following is a further description of the practical square fishing cage in combination with this application scenario.

[0030] Further, refer to Figure 1-6 One end of the inlet bracket 4 is slotted with a card slot 9, and a buckle 8 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 7 close to the card slot 9, and the buckle 8 is elastically engaged with the card slot 9.

[0031] In the present embodiment, after the inverted whisker 5 is fully unfolded with the sliding of the vertical plate 7, in order to fix the position of the vertical plate 7, thereby preventing the vertical plate 7 from sliding randomly and causing the inverted whisker 5 to fold and shrink, thereby causing a gap in the inlet bracket 4, allowing the fish and shrimp in the fishing cage to escape and affecting the user's fishing income, a buckle 8 and a card slot 9 are provided to elastically engage with each other to fix the overall position of the vertical plate 7 and keep the inverted whisker 5 in an extended state, so that the entrance end of the inverted whisker 5 is fully opened for fish and shrimp to enter and complete the fishing operation.

[0032] For more details, see Figure 1-6 The cross section of the inverted whisker 5 is rhombus-shaped and a plurality of water holes 10 are provided through the openings on the surface. A plurality of barbs 11 are provided at one end of the inverted whisker 5 away from the connecting plate 12. The inverted whisker 5 is formed by a foldable plastic plate.

[0033] In the present embodiment, in order to allow fish and shrimp to enter the fishing cage through the inverted whiskers 5 while preventing them from escaping, barbs 11 are provided at the ends of the inverted whiskers 5 to reduce the diameter, that is, to reduce the diameter of the escape opening for fish and shrimp. At the same time, in order to facilitate the overall extension and folding of the inverted whiskers 5, the inverted whiskers 5 are formed by foldable plastic plates, so that the inverted whiskers 5 as a whole can be expanded and contracted in parallel on the basis of a rhombus.

[0034] More preferably, referring to Figure 1-6 The connecting plate 12 is arranged in a “T” shape and is matched with the connecting groove 15 , and a rope net 3 is also arranged in the gap between the rotating rod 13 and the vertical plate 7 .

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to form a linkage between the connecting plate 12, the rotating rod 13, and the vertical plate 7, the connecting plate 12 is set to be "T"-shaped and embedded in the connecting groove 15, so that when the rotating rod 13 rotates with the sliding of the vertical plate 7, the connecting plate 12 is driven to move synchronously through the connecting groove 15, thereby realizing the overall extension and contraction of the inverted whisker 5; at the same time, in order to prevent fish and shrimp from escaping from the gap between the rotating rod 13 and the vertical plate 7, a rope net 3 is also arranged in the gap between the rotating rod 13 and the vertical plate 7. The mesh setting of the rope net 3 can be synchronized with the extension and contraction of the inverted whisker 5, so the position of the non-inverted whisker 5 entrance end on the inlet bracket 4 can be closed after unfolding to prevent fish and shrimp in the fishing cage from escaping.

[0036] More preferably, referring to Figure 1-6 Each group of four rotating rods 13 forms a rhombus and the ends are rotatably connected. The ends of the rotating rods 13 are grooved with rotation grooves 14. The rhombus formed by the rotating rods 13 is adapted to the end face of the inlet end of the inverted whisker 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the rotating rod 13 rotates with the sliding of the vertical plate 7, in order to avoid motion interference caused by the rotation of the rotating rods 13, a rotating groove 14 is grooved at the end of the rotating rod 13, thereby reserving a rotation space for the end rotation of the rotating rod 13 and maintaining smooth rotation of the rotating rod 13; at the same time, in order to keep the expansion and contraction of the rotating rod 13 and the end face of the entrance end of the inverted whisker 5 consistent, the diamond shape formed by the rotating rod 13 is arranged to be consistent with the entrance end of the inverted whisker 5, thereby forming a synchronous expansion and contraction of the rotating rod 13 and the inverted whisker 5 to maintain consistency.

[0038] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1-6 When the vertical plate 7 slides in the slide groove 6, it drives the plurality of inverted whiskers 5 to extend and fold synchronously through the rotation connection with the rotating rod 13, and the sum of the extended lengths of the plurality of inverted whiskers 5 is equal to the length of the inlet bracket 4. A tail net is also provided at one end of the cage body 1 and empty bottles are loaded in the tail net.

[0039] In this embodiment, during the extension and contraction of the inverted whiskers 5 with the sliding of the vertical plate 7, in order to allow a number of inverted whiskers 5 to be fully unfolded for fish and shrimp to enter, the sum of the extension lengths of the inverted whiskers 5 is set to be equal to the length of the inlet bracket 4, so that the inlet bracket 4 can be completely covered after the inverted whiskers 5 are fully unfolded, thereby avoiding gaps in the inlet bracket 4 and preventing the fish and shrimp in the fishing cage from escaping; at the same time, in order to prevent the captured eels, loaches, lobsters, etc. from being drowned, an empty bottle is set at the tail net so that the tail net can float on the water surface for the eels, loaches, and lobsters to exchange air.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] The square fishing cage of the utility model is first pulled by force to slide the vertical plate 7 in the slide groove 6 when it is put into water for fishing, so as to drive the rotating rods 13 which are kept in sliding connection with the vertical plate 7 to slide synchronously, and the rotating rods 13 are surrounded by four groups to form a rhombus, so that the rhombus-shaped rotating rods 13 are extended in parallel with the vertical plate 7 when sliding.

[0042] At the same time, the connecting plate 12 provided at the end face of the inlet end of the inverted whisker 5 is embedded in the connecting groove 15 through its "T"-shaped setting, so that the inlet end face of the inverted whisker 5 is consistent with the extension of the rotating rod 13 and is horizontally expanded at the same time. The inverted whisker 5 itself is surrounded by a foldable plastic plate, and the cross-section of the inverted whisker 5 is still diamond-shaped, so that the connecting plate 12, the rotating rod 13, and the vertical plate 7 are linked, and finally the sliding of the vertical plate 7 drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 13 drives the connecting plate 12 and the inverted whisker 5 to extend as a whole, and the inverted whisker 5 is The entrance end of the cage is unfolded, and after the plurality of inverted whiskers 5 are fully unfolded to allow fish and shrimp to enter, the overall position of the upright plate 7 is fixed by the elastic engagement of the buckle 8 and the slot 9 to keep the plurality of inverted whiskers 5 in a fully unfolded state; the rope net 3 is also arranged between the rotating rod 13 and the gap of the upright plate 7, because the mesh of the rope net 3 can be synchronously extended and contracted with the inverted whiskers 5, the position of the inlet bracket 4 other than the inlet end of the inverted whiskers 5 can be closed after unfolding to prevent the fish and shrimp in the fishing cage from escaping, so that the fishing cage can be put into the water for fishing operations;

[0043] When cleaning is needed, the fishing cage is first taken out of the water, and the elastic engagement between the buckle 8 and the slot 9 is released to restore the sliding state of the vertical plate 7 in the slide slot 6. Then, the vertical plate 7 can be slid to drive the rotating rod 13 and the inverted whisker 5 to fold accordingly, and the inverted whisker 5 can be driven to shrink as a whole at one end of the inlet bracket 4, so that the inlet bracket 4 is opened, and finally the algae and debris in the fishing cage can be picked and cleaned by the user.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
