Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fish farming, and particularly relates to a portable cage cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] In the refined management of fish farming, the regular cleaning of cages plays a crucial role in maintaining clear water quality and ensuring the healthy growth of fish. In view of this technical requirement, technicians in this field have continuously explored more efficient and convenient cleaning solutions. For example, Chinese Patent CN202224377U discloses a cleaning device for specific components (such as spray heads). This device realizes relative movement between the innovative cleaning brush manipulator and the surface of the spray head, and effectively removes pollutants during the cleaning process by combining with an adsorption device, significantly improving the cleanliness of the spray head. However, although this solution has its unique features, it fails to comprehensively solve the common challenges faced in the cleaning of fish farming cages.

[0003] Specifically, the traditional manual cleaning method not only consumes a large amount of manpower and has low efficiency, but also is limited by human factors and is difficult to ensure the full coverage and uniformity of cleaning, thus affecting the overall cleaning effect of the cage. On the other hand, although some automated cleaning equipment has emerged in the market and has contributed to improving the cleaning efficiency, they are often restricted in their flexible deployment and application in different breeding environments due to their complex structure and large volume, especially in occasions with limited space or frequent movement. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a portable cage cleaning device.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] The vertical cleaning unit moves vertically through a vertical track on the vertical side of the cage body;

[0008] The horizontal cleaning unit moves horizontally through a horizontal track on the top side of the cage body;

[0009] The cleaning device includes a sliding block, a driving motor, a cleaning brush, a spray head and a support frame, wherein: the cleaning device moves along the vertical track / horizontal track through the sliding block; a support frame is installed on the sliding block, a driving motor and a spray head are vertically arranged downward on the support frame, a cleaning brush is arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor, the spray head is arranged facing the surface of the cage body; the cleaning brush is within the spraying range of the spray head.

[0010] This technical solution utilizes the movement of the sliding block on the vertical track and the horizontal track, as well as the cleaning brush and the spray head driven by the driving motor, to achieve a comprehensive cleaning of the surface of the cage body, so as to improve the cage maintenance efficiency. Specifically, the cleaning function is decomposed into a vertical cleaning unit and a horizontal cleaning unit. Each unit moves through specific tracks (vertical track and horizontal track), which is not only convenient for installation and maintenance, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device; the vertical track and the horizontal track provide a stable movement path for the cleaning unit. These tracks are usually designed with precise guiding and limiting mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of the cleaning unit during movement; the sliding block fixes components such as the driving motor, the cleaning brush and the spray head through the support frame thereon; the driving motor drives the cleaning brush to perform the cleaning operation through its rotational movement; the output shaft of the motor is connected to the cleaning brush through gears, converting the rotational movement of the motor into the reciprocating or rotational movement of the cleaning brush; the spray head performs a preliminary flushing of the cage surface with the high-pressure water flow provided by the water pump to remove the floating dust and loose dirt on the surface; the cleaning brush deeply scrubs the cage surface driven by the driving motor to remove stubborn stains and attachments. The material, shape and hardness of the cleaning brush need to be selected according to the cage material and the type of dirt to avoid damaging the cage; the spray head provides a moistening and softening effect for the cleaning brush, making it easier for the cleaning brush to remove dirt; while the cleaning brush enhances the cleaning effect to ensure a thorough cleaning of the cage surface.

[0011] In addition, according to the above-mentioned portable cage cleaning device of the present utility model, it also has the following additional technical features:

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a sliding seat is arranged between the vertical cleaning unit and the horizontal cleaning unit. The vertical cleaning unit moves laterally relative to the horizontal cleaning unit through the sliding seat; the horizontal cleaning unit moves longitudinally relative to the vertical cleaning unit through the sliding seat.

[0013] This technical solution realizes the relative lateral and longitudinal movement between the two cleaning units by arranging a sliding seat between the vertical cleaning unit and the horizontal cleaning unit, increases the flexibility and coverage area of the cleaning device, and ensures that all corners of the cage can be effectively cleaned.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the cage body includes vertical edges, top edges and strengthening edges located between the vertical edges and the top edges.

[0015] This technical solution provides a basic framework for the cleaning device by clarifying the structure of the cage body, including vertical edges, top edges and strengthening edges, and ensures that the cleaning device can be adapted and stably installed on the cage.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the cleaning device further includes a limiting unit, and the limiting unit is a limiting block, which is respectively installed at both ends of the vertical track and the horizontal track for preventing the sliding block from falling off.

[0017] In this technical solution, by adding a limiting unit (limiting block) to the cleaning device and installing it at both ends of the vertical track and the horizontal track, it effectively prevents the sliding block from falling off during the movement process, improving the safety of the cleaning device.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, one end of the spray head extends into the water body of the net cage body, and the other end sprays high-speed water flow onto the surface of the net cage body through a water pump.

[0019] In this technical solution, by one end of the spray head extending into the water body of the net cage and the other end connecting to a water pump to spray high-speed water flow, it not only directly cleans the surface of the net cage, but also utilizes the impact and penetration of the water flow to further clean the inside of the net cage and the attached dirt, improving the cleaning effect.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) Through the collaborative work of the vertical and horizontal cleaning units, combined with the dual functions of the spray head and the cleaning brush, it realizes a comprehensive and efficient cleaning of the surface of the net cage, significantly improving the efficiency of net cage maintenance;

[0022] (2) The sliding seat enables the vertical and horizontal cleaning units to move relatively, increasing the flexibility and coverage area of cleaning, ensuring that all corners of the net cage can be effectively cleaned;

[0023] (3) Through the limiting unit, it effectively prevents the sliding block from falling off during the movement process, enhancing the safety of the cleaning device; while the precise track guiding and limiting mechanism ensure the accuracy of the cleaning unit during the movement process.
