DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment proposes an aquaculture cage, including

[0031] A frame 1 and a floating board 2, with the floating board 2 arranged outside the frame 1;

[0032] A docking and fixing component 5, with the docking and fixing component 5 arranged outside the frame 1;

[0033] A blocking net 3, with the blocking net 3 arranged at the bottom of the floating board 2;

[0034] A cleaning component 4, with the cleaning component 4 arranged on the outer frame 1. The cleaning component 4 includes a pair of fixing plates 4-1. The fixing plates 4-1 are arranged at both ends of the surface of the frame 1. A driving wheel 4-2 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing plate 4-1. A transmission belt 4-3 is connected between the driving wheels 4-2 in the same straight line position. A pair of round rods 4-4 are fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1. A transmission rod 4-5 is connected between the driving wheels 4-2. A driving motor 4-6 is installed on the surface of the fixing plate 4-1. The output end of the driving motor 4-6 is connected to the driving wheel 4-2. A moving frame 4-7 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the round rod 4-4. The moving frame 4-7 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 4-3. A side opening 4-8 is formed on the surface of the moving frame 4-7. A cleaning frame 4-9 is rotatably connected in the side opening 4-8. Filter holes 4-10 are formed on the surface of the cleaning frame 4-9. An outer opening 4-11 is formed on the outer surface of the frame 1. A pair of brackets 4-12 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving frame 4-7. A rotating shaft 4-13 is rotatably connected in the brackets 4-12. A pulling rope 4-14 is connected between the rotating shaft 4-13 and the cleaning frame 4-9. A second motor 4-15 is arranged on the side surface of the brackets 4-12. The output end of the second motor 4-15 is connected to the rotating shaft 4-13. A support rod 4-16 is fixed between the brackets 4-12.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the floating effect inside the frame 1, a cleaning component 4 is designed. A plurality of fixing plates 4-1 are arranged at the bottom of the frame 1 and rotatably connected with driving wheels 4-2. Two opposite driving wheels 4-2 are connected with a driving rod 4-5. The driving wheels 4-2 at the same straight-line position are driven by a belt. A driving motor 4-6 is installed on the surface of one of the fixing plates 4-1 and connected with the driving wheel 4-2. Two round rods 4-4 are arranged on the surface of the frame 1. A moving frame 4-7 slides on the round rods 4-4. The moving frame 4-7 is fixedly connected with the transmission belt 4-3. When the driving wheel 4-2 rotates, the moving frame 4-7 can be controlled to linearly move on the round rods 4-4 through the transmission belt 4-3. A side opening 4-8 is formed inside the moving frame 4-7, and a cleaning frame 4-9 with filter holes 4-10 is rotatably connected inside. When the cleaning frame 4-9 moves, it can collect the floating dead fish. An outer opening 4-11 is formed on the outside of the frame 1. Two brackets 4-12 are fixed on the side end surface of the moving frame 4-7 and located in the outer opening 4-11. A rotating shaft 4-13 and a support rod 4-16 are arranged between the brackets 4-12. A second motor 4-15 connected with the rotating shaft 4-13 is installed on the outside of the brackets 4-12. A pull rope 4-14 is connected between the rotating shaft 4-13 and the support rod 4-16. The rotating shaft 4-13 can be controlled to rotate by the driving motor 4-6 to wind up the pull rope 4-14. The pull rope 4-14 pulls the cleaning frame 4-9 to turn upwards, and the dead fish inside can be poured outwards to achieve the cleaning effect.

[0036] Furthermore, the docking and fixing component 5 includes a pair of docking rods 5-1. The docking rods 5-1 are fixed on the opposite end faces of the frame 1. The docking rods 5-1 are located on both sides of the surface of the frame 1. Slots 5-2 are formed on the surfaces of the docking rods 5-1. A docking frame 5-3 is inserted and connected in the slots 5-2. A pair of threaded grooves 5-4 are formed at the bottom of the docking frame 5-3. Fixing bolts 5-5 are screwed and connected in the threaded grooves 5-4.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the effect of docking multiple cages together, a docking and fixing component 5 is designed. Two docking rods 5-1 are fixed at both outer ends of the frame 1. Slots 5-2 are formed on the surfaces of the docking rods 5-1. A docking frame 5-3 for connection is inserted in the slots 5-2. Threaded grooves 5-4 are formed at the bottom of the docking frame 5-3. After docking, fixing bolts 5-5 can be screwed and connected at the bottom for fixation after connection.

[0038] Furthermore, the cleaning frame 4-9 is integrally in a bucket-like structure, and the bottom of the cleaning frame 4-9 is in a concave structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, through the concave bucket structure, the cleaning frame 4-9 can collect the dead fish inside and cooperate with the flipping to clean the dead fish to the outside.

[0040] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the connecting parts between the slot 5-2 and the docking frame 5-3 are all rectangular structures.

[0041] In this embodiment, due to the rectangular structure, the docking frame 5-3 and the slot 5-2 are inserted and connected in a non-rotatable and firm manner.

[0042] Furthermore, the cleaning frame 4-9 can be turned outwards by 180° through the rotating connection.

[0043] In this embodiment, due to the 180° turning angle, the cleaning frame 4-9 can pour the dead fish outside the frame 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the surface of the driving wheel 4-2 is a concave structure, and the concave part of the surface of the driving wheel 4-2 and the transmission belt 4-3 both adopt anti-slip structures.

[0045] In this embodiment, due to the concave structure, the transmission belt 4-3 will not fall off during connection. With the cooperation of the anti-slip structure, it can drive the moving frame 4-7 to move stably.

[0046] When in use, float the frame 1 on the water surface through the floating board 2. When multiple frames need to be spliced, adjust the position through the docking rod 5-1. The docking rod 5-1 has a certain length, leaving a gap between the frames 1 to prevent the dead fish from not being able to be poured outwards during cleaning. When dead fish need to be cleaned during the breeding process, start the driving motor 4-6. Through the transmission of the transmission rod 4-5, the four driving wheels 4-2 rotate synchronously. The transmission belt 4-3 drives the moving frame 4-7 to move linearly. During the linear movement, collect the floating dead fish in the cleaning frame 4-9. When moving back after cleaning, start the second motor 4-15, and turn the cleaning frame 4-9 upwards by about 30° through the pull rope 4-14. After resetting, start again to pour the dead fish in the cleaning frame 4-9 outside the frame 1.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
