AI Technical Summary
The existing sea cucumber cages are inefficient in inspection, feeding and disease prevention and control operations. They require frequent individual lifting and lowering, and cannot efficiently observe and operate close-up.
A cage for sea cucumber farming is designed, and multiple reels are driven by motors to control the take-off and landing of multiple cages. The uniform lifting and lowering operation of the cage is achieved through a pull rope and hook system, combining the mesh lid and ladder for easy observation and operation.
Controlling the take-off and landing of multiple cages through one motor simplifies the operation process, improves work efficiency, and facilitates the inspection, feeding and cleaning of sea cucumbers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber farming, and specifically relates to a net cage for sea cucumber farming. Background Art
[0002] In the sea cucumber farming industry, net cages or enclosures are often directly placed in waters for farming. With the expansion of the farming scale and the increase in the farming density, higher requirements are put forward for the daily management, inspection, feeding, and disease prevention and control of sea cucumbers.
[0003] Currently, when checking the growth of sea cucumbers, conducting disease prevention and control, or adjusting the farming density, the net cages need to be frequently lifted and lowered to observe and operate on the sea cucumbers at close range. However, the current net cages can only be lifted and lowered individually, resulting in low efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the present utility model provides a net cage for sea cucumber farming.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0006] A net cage for sea cucumber farming includes a water tank. Support frames are fixedly connected to the left and right side walls of the water tank. A support rod is fixedly connected between the tops of the two support frames. Three equally spaced pulleys are arranged on the outer wall of the support rod. There are two fixed seats at the rear of the water tank, distributed left and right. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the tops of the two fixed seats. Three wire winding wheels are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The three wire winding wheels correspond to the three pulleys respectively. A motor is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the right fixed seat. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wire winding wheel. The pull rope is wound around the outer wall of the wire winding wheel. The other end of the pull rope extends downward after passing around the corresponding pulley. The pull rope is in sliding cooperation with the pulley. The other end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to a hook. There are three net cages inside the water tank. A hanging rope is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the top edge of the net cage. The hanging rope is hung on the hook. The top of the net cage is inserted with a box cover, and the box cover is in the shape of a mesh. A cross plate is fixedly connected to the top of the front side wall of the water tank. The left end of the front side wall of the cross plate is fixedly connected to a ladder, and the ladder extends obliquely downward to the ground.
[0007] A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected and communicated with the top of the rear side wall of the water tank. A drain pipe is fixedly connected and communicated with the bottom of the front side wall of the water tank. Valves are respectively arranged on the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe.
[0008] Advantages of the Present Utility Model
[0009] With the present utility model, the lifting and lowering of multiple net cages can be controlled by one motor, which facilitates operations such as observing and feeding the sea cucumbers, greatly simplifies the operation process, and improves work efficiency. Description of the Drawings

Specific embodiments
[0017] As Figures 1-6 shown: A net cage for sea cucumber farming includes a water tank 1. Support frames 4 are fixedly connected to both the left and right side walls of the water tank 1. A support rod 5 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two support frames 4. Three equally - spaced pulleys 6 are arranged on the outer wall of the support rod 5. There are two fixed seats 7 at the rear side of the water tank 1, which are distributed left and right. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected between the tops of the two fixed seats 7. Three wire reels 9 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8, and the three wire reels 9 correspond to the three pulleys 6 respectively. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on the right - hand side wall of the right fixed seat 7, and the output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 8. A pulling rope 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wire reel 9. The pulling rope 11 is wound around the outer wall of the wire reel 9, and the other end of the pulling rope 11 extends downward after passing around the corresponding pulley 6. The pulling rope 11 is in sliding fit with the pulley 6, and the other end of the pulling rope 11 is fixedly connected to a hook 12. There are three net cages 13 inside the water tank 1. A hanging rope 14 is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the top edge of the net cage 13, and the hanging rope 14 is hung on the hook 12. The top of the net cage 13 is inserted with a box cover 15, and the box cover 15 is in the shape of a mesh. A cross - plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the front side wall of the water tank 1, and a ladder 17 is fixedly connected to the left end of the front side wall of the cross - plate 16. The ladder 17 extends obliquely downward to the ground.
[0018] The top of the rear side wall of the water tank 1 is fixedly connected and communicated with a water inlet pipe 2, and the bottom of the front side wall of the water tank 1 is fixedly connected and communicated with a drain pipe 3. Valves are respectively arranged on the water inlet pipe 2 and the drain pipe 3.
[0019] The net cage 13 is hung on the hook 12 through a hanging rope 14. These hooks 12 are connected to the wire reel 9 through a pulling rope 11. The motor 10 is in a non-operating state, and the pulling rope 11 on the wire reel 9 maintains a certain degree of tightness, so that the net cage 13 is suspended at a suitable position in the water tank 1. The motor 10 is a servo motor. The outer wall of the net cage 13 has mesh holes.
[0020] When it is necessary to check the sea cucumber farming situation, start the motor 10. The motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and then drives the wire reel 9 to rotate clockwise to tighten the pulling rope. As the wire reel 9 rotates, the pulling rope 11 is gradually wound up, driving the hook 12 and the hanging rope 14 to move upward, and finally slowly lifting the net cage 13 to the top of the water tank 1 or a designated height.
[0021] After the net cage 13 is lifted to an appropriate height, the farmer can climb onto the cross plate 16 through the ladder 17, and then perform operations such as checking, feeding or cleaning on the net cage 13. Since the net cage cover 15 is inserted into the top of the net cage 13, it is convenient to keep the sea cucumbers in the net cage safe during the lifting process and allows the farmer to observe without completely opening the net cage.
[0022] After the inspection or operation is completed, reverse the operation of the motor 10 to make the wire reel 9 rotate counterclockwise to release the pulling rope 11. The net cage 13 slowly descends back to its original position under the action of gravity, and continues to farm sea cucumbers. The present utility model only protects the mechanical part, and the functions realized by the software control part related thereto are not within the protection scope of the present utility model.
