Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing appliances, and particularly relates to a new type of eel cage. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the eel traps on the market are folding type ground cages. The ground cages have substantial defects such as large volume and inconvenient carrying. When setting the ground cage, wooden sticks and bamboo sticks are needed to fix both ends, which greatly increases the working intensity during work.

[0003] Generally, an eel cage is about 2 feet long and the diameter varies from 8 to 9 inches. There are openings at both ends of the cage, one end is the inlet, and the other end is the cover opening. The inlet is in a trumpet shape, which is easy to enter but difficult to exit. At the same time, the eel cage can also have inlets at both ends, and the middle is the connection part. According to the living habit of eels being active at night and hiding during the day, choose waters such as lakes, ponds, and river branches where eels are active to place the cage. Put some poultry internal organs, eggshells, mussel meat, earthworms, etc. in the cage for trapping. If there is enough time, some fireflies can also be captured and put into the eel cage, so that the effect of catching eels is good. After the eel cage is loaded with bait, it is placed along the waters where eels enter and exit at 5 - 6 o'clock in the evening. When placing it, the whole eel cage should be placed horizontally in the water more than one meter away from the shore, near the roots of the trees by the water, the stone crevices, the culverts, and the places with waterweeds. After the cage is put into the water, a part of it is exposed above the water surface, accounting for about one - fourth of the eel cage, and then cover some waterweeds on the eel cage exposed above the water surface. In this way, eels will enter the cage when they forage around at night.

[0004] However, when there is rainfall and the water level rises, the existing eel cages are likely to immerse the net completely underwater, which will cause the fish to suffocate and die due to lack of oxygen.

[0005] In summary, in order to improve the capture process and the defects of the existing ground cages, the applicant has specifically developed a new type of eel cage, which is not only easy to carry but also more convenient for capture. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] To solve the problems raised in the above - mentioned background art, the utility model provides a new type of eel cage, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0007] A new type of eel cage, characterized in that it includes a support main body. The material of the support main body is a metal material, which can be iron, stainless steel, copper, alloy, etc. The support main body includes support frame a, support frame b and an elastic structure support body. The elastic structure support body is one of the core components of the present utility model. After adopting this structure, the support main body can be shrunk together in the normal netting state, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the volume of the equipment. An elastic structure support body is provided between support frame a and support frame b. The support main body is connected to the fishing net. A number of fish inlet openings are provided on the fishing net. Such a design is to ensure more fish entering. The fish inlet openings are respectively side fish inlet openings and end fish inlet openings. A number of bait bottles are fixed inside the fishing net. Symmetric structures of fixing components are provided on support frame a or support frame b, namely fixing component a and fixing component b. Fixing component a and fixing component b are used to fix the elastic structure support body after folding. Fixing component a and fixing component b are movably installed on support frame a or support frame b.

[0008] Preferably: To prevent the river water from rising and submerging the fishing gear, the fish-catching section of the fishing net is connected to a floating ball. The floating ball is used to ensure that the fish-catching section floats on the water surface, so as to ensure that even when the water rises, the fish still have a way to breathe, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the death of fish due to suffocation. To achieve a better support purpose, the structures of support frame a and support frame b are trapezoidal structures.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Through the structural transformation of the present utility model, the volume of the existing fishing equipment is greatly reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of being convenient to carry. By adding the structure of the floating ball, the dead fish rate is reduced. By increasing multiple fish inlet openings, the purpose of increasing the fish entering is achieved. The structure design of the present utility model is unique and is suitable for comprehensive promotion and application. Description of the Drawings
