[0036] In an optional embodiment, in order to further improve the stability of the base 2 when installed in the seabed, the base 2 is a hollow frame structure, and a support frame 22 is provided on the side of the base 2 facing away from the cage 1, and a plurality of rake structures 23 are connected to the support frame 22, and each of the rake structures 23 is extended in the direction facing away from the cage 1. Figures 1 to 4 , the base 2 is set to be hollow to reduce the contact area with the seawater, so as to minimize the impact of the seawater on the base 2. A cross-shaped support frame 22 is set on the bottom surface of the base 2 to support the net box 1 above. In other embodiments, the support frame 22 can also be a mesh structure composed of a plurality of cross support frames 22. A spike rake structure 23 is set on the support frame 22 so that the spike rake structure 23 can be inserted into the seabed to further improve the fixing effect of the base 2. Furthermore, a plurality of spike teeth 231 are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the spike rake structure 23, and a barb is set on the periphery of the end of the spike teeth 231 away from the support frame 22. Each of the spike teeth 231 is extended in the direction away from the net box 1. By providing a plurality of spike teeth 231 on the spike rake structure 23, and providing a barb at one end of the spike teeth 231, the gripping force of the spike rake structure 23 is further improved, so that the base 2 can firmly grasp the seabed, reduce the impact of seawater impact on the base 2, and ensure the stability of the cage bottom structure 1000. Optionally, multiple groups of barbs can be provided on each spike tooth 231, and the barbs are spaced apart along the extension direction of the spike teeth 231 to further improve the fixing effect of the spike teeth 231.

The two ends of the anchor chain are respectively connected to the base 2 and the fixed anchor, and the fixed anchor can extend into the seabed to fix the base 2. By arranging the anchoring structure 24 at the side end of the base 2, when the base 2 tends to move due to the impact of seawater, the fixed anchor hooks the seabed and thus pulls the base 2 to prevent the base 2 from further moving, further ensuring the stability of the base 2. Optionally, the number of the anchoring structures 24 can be one or more, and the anchoring structures 24 are arranged around the base 2 so that the anchoring structures 24 can pull the base 2 from all directions to resist the impact of seawater from all directions.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the lifting of the net box 1, a floating structure 4 is provided in the installation cavity, the floating structure 4 is provided at the bottom of the net box 1 and connected to the net box 1, a sealed accommodating cavity is formed inside the floating structure 4, and the floating structure 4 can increase the buoyancy and lift the net box 1 by discharging or discharging fluid into the accommodating cavity. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the floating structure 4 can generate buoyancy by discharging or discharging fluid to push the net cage 1 above, for example, by injecting seawater into the accommodating chamber through a submersible pump to increase the mass of the floating structure 4 to make it sink. When it is necessary to float the net cage 1, the seawater in the accommodating chamber is discharged to make the floating structure 4 generate buoyancy to push the net cage 1. In other embodiments, the floating structure 4 can be an elastic inflatable structure. By discharging air into the floating structure 4, the volume of the floating structure 4 is expanded, and the buoyancy is increased to push the net cage 1 to float. When it is necessary to sink the net cage 1, it is only necessary to discharge the air in the floating structure 4 to reduce the buoyancy. In this way, the lifting and lowering of the net cage 1 can be realized conveniently.

[0039] Optionally, the floating structure 4 includes two, each of which is disposed at two opposite ends of the bottom of the cage 1 in the installation cavity. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The floating structure 4 is installed at the opposite ends of the bottom of the cage 1. On the one hand, it is convenient to install and fix the floating structure 4 on the frame of the base 2 to improve the stability of the floating structure 4 in the seawater. On the other hand, the floating structure 4 is respectively arranged at both ends to stably support the cage 1, so that the cage 1 can be kept in a relatively stable state when it is lifted or lowered.

[0040] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
