Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a breeding buoy, in particular to an offshore breeding buoy with an internal foaming material. Background Art

[0002] The buoy is processed by blow molding technology and can float on the water surface. It is made of materials such as PVC, has good weather resistance and impact resistance, can prevent ultraviolet rays, freeze, and resist the erosion of seawater chemical agents and oil stains, and can automatically rise and fall with the tide. It is widely used in the breeding industry and is used to lay on the lake surface.

[0003] At present, most buoys are hollow floating balls with plastic shells made of PP, PE and other plastic materials. During use, over time, marine organisms will attach to the surface of the shell and scratch the shell, and the plastic materials will also quickly age under the action of seawater and sunlight ultraviolet rays, resulting in water leakage of the shell and sinking in the water, with a short service life, and the waste will cause a certain burden on the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the technical problems that existing offshore breeding buoys mostly use hollow floating balls made of plastic materials, are prone to aging, have a short service life, and cause an environmental burden, the utility model provides an offshore breeding buoy with an internal foaming material that can effectively improve the short service life of plastic material buoys in seawater and thus cause a large burden on the environment.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution of the utility model is an offshore breeding buoy with an internal foaming material, which is provided with a shell. The shell is provided with a handle and a balance weight. The handle, the balance weight and the shell are of an integrally formed structure. The shell is provided with a boss, and the boss is provided with a feed port. A plug is arranged on the feed port, and a sealing gasket is arranged between the feed port and the plug; the boss is adjacent to the handle, the balance weight is on the surface of the shell opposite to the handle, the shell is made of elastic plastic material, the shell is of a hollow structure, a filler is arranged in the hollow structure, and the weight of the balance weight is greater than the sum of the weights of the handle, the boss and the plug.

[0006] Preferably, the feed port is provided with internal threads, the plug is provided with external threads, the upper surface of the boss is provided with a groove, and the sealing gasket is arranged in the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the shell is formed by blow molding.

[0008] Preferably, the balance weights are all of solid structures.

[0009] Preferably, the filler is made of a foaming material.

[0010] Preferably, the density of the shell material is greater than the density of the foaming material.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] (1) In this application, by arranging a filler inside the shell, filling the shell with the filler, and the density of the filler being less than that of the shell, and the shell being made of elastic plastic material, when the finished product is placed in water, it can float on the water surface. Because there is a filler inside the shell, its strength is increased and it is not easily rubbed and scratched by aquatic organisms. Even if cracks occur due to problems such as aging or friction and scratching, since the filler is in a filled state, water will not easily penetrate into the shell, which does not affect the continued use of the buoy. This greatly extends the service life of the buoy, also avoids the environmental burden caused by waste, and reduces the burden on enterprises;

[0013] (2) By arranging a balance weight opposite to the handle and making its weight greater than the sum of the weights of the handle, the boss, and the plug, when the buoy is used in water, the position of the boss can be kept upward, reducing the risk of water entering the shell and improving the performance of the product;

[0014] (3) Since the density of the foaming material is less than that of the shell and the shell is made of elastic plastic with a density also less than that of water, therefore, the addition of the filler will not increase the overall weight of the buoy too much, which can ensure its floating degree at sea. Because the filler has a smaller density, when there are cracks in the shell, the buoy can still float well at sea, ensuring the practicability of the product;

[0015] (4) The setting of the feed port can conveniently fill the filler into the shell. After filling, the feed port is blocked by the plug and the sealing gasket, preventing the filler from leaking into the sea or seawater from entering the shell. The sealing is reliable and the structure is simple. Description of the Drawings

[0022] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, a built-in foam material offshore aquaculture buoy is provided with a housing 1, on which a handle 3 and a balance weight 5 are provided. The handle 3, the balance weight 5 and the housing 1 are of an integrally formed structure. A boss 4 is provided on the housing 1, and a feed inlet is provided on the boss 4. A plug 6 is provided on the feed inlet, and a gasket 7 is provided between the feed inlet and the plug 6. Both the plug 6 and the gasket 7 are made of corrosion-resistant materials and can be used in seawater. The boss 4 is adjacent to the handle 3, which can ensure that the feed inlet is also above when the handle 3 is upward. The balance weight 5 is on the surface of the housing 1 opposite to the handle 3. During use, the handle 3 is on the upper side and the balance weight 5 is on the lower side. The housing 1 is made of elastic plastic material and is of a hollow structure. A filler 2 is provided in the hollow structure. The weight of the balance weight 5 is greater than the sum of the weights of the handle 2, the boss 4 and the plug 6. By arranging the balance weight 5 opposite to the handle 3 and making its weight greater than the sum of the weights of the handle 3, the boss 4 and the plug 6, when the buoy is used in water, the position of the boss 4 can be kept above, reducing the risk of water entering the housing 1 and improving the service performance of the product.

[0024] During use, a rope can be passed through the annular handle to string multiple buoys together. The two ends of the rope can be fixed at a certain height to further ensure that water does not enter at the feed inlet at the upper end of the buoy, extending its service life.

[0025] The feed inlet is provided with internal threads, the plug 6 has external threads, and a groove is provided on the upper surface of the boss 4. The gasket 7 is arranged in the groove. The housing 1 is formed by blow molding. The balance weights 5 are all of solid structures. The filler 2 is made of foam material, and the density of the housing 1 material is greater than the density of the foam material. The setting of the feed inlet can conveniently fill the filler 2 into the housing 1. After filling, the feed inlet is sealed by the plug 6 and the gasket 7, preventing the filler 2 from leaking into the sea or seawater from entering the housing 1. The sealing is reliable and the structure is simple.

[0026] Since the density of the foam material is less than the density of the housing 1, and the housing 1 is made of elastic plastic with a density less than that of water, the addition of the filler will not increase the overall weight of the buoy too much, ensuring its floating degree at sea. Since the filler has a smaller density, when there is a crack in the housing 1, the buoy can still float well at sea, guaranteeing the practicability of the product.

[0027] In this application, by arranging a filler 2 inside the housing 1, filling the housing 1 with the filler 2, and the density of the filler being less than that of the housing, and the housing 1 being made of elastic plastic material, when the finished product is placed in water, it can float on the water surface. Because there is a filler inside the housing 1, its strength is increased and it is not easily rubbed and broken by aquatic organisms. Even if cracks occur due to problems such as aging or friction and scratching, since the filler is in a filled state, water will not easily penetrate into the housing, which does not affect the continued use of the buoy, greatly extends the service life of the buoy, also avoids the environmental burden caused by waste, and reduces the burden on enterprises.

[0028] However, the above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, and the scope of implementation of the present utility model cannot be limited thereby. Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components, or equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of protection of the present utility model patent, should still fall within the scope covered by the claims of the present utility model.
