[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mariculture, and particularly to a modular offshore aquaculture platform. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, offshore aquaculture platforms usually adopt integral cages for aquaculture of seafood products without modular design. When there are many types of seafood products, it is impossible to carry out partitioned aquaculture. Moreover, most of the existing cages cannot perform the operation of lifting the net. When there are a lot of residual marine organisms hanging on the net under the water or the net leaks, it usually requires divers to go underwater to clean and repair the net, resulting in difficult cleaning and repair of the net and a large manual labor intensity. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a modular offshore aquaculture platform, which can lift the aquaculture cage above the water surface and fix it before cleaning and repairing the net, so as to reduce the difficulty of cleaning and repairing the net and at least partially solve the above technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure provides a modular offshore aquaculture platform, including: a platform main body including a truss assembly, and the truss assembly forms a plurality of accommodation spaces; aquaculture cages, having the same number as and corresponding to the accommodation spaces one by one, and the aquaculture cages can move along a first direction to be received in the accommodation spaces or extend out relative to the accommodation spaces; a guiding mechanism connected to the truss assembly and the aquaculture cages, and the guiding mechanism is used for guiding and limiting the aquaculture cages along the first direction; and a locking mechanism connected to the truss assembly and the aquaculture cages, and the locking mechanism is used for locking and limiting the aquaculture cages when the aquaculture cages extend out of the accommodation spaces; wherein the first direction is the height direction of the platform main body.

[0005] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a locking member and a first mating member, one of the locking member and the first mating member is arranged on the truss assembly, and the other is arranged on the aquaculture cage. The locking mechanism includes a locking state and an unlocking state. In the locking state, the locking member is connected to the first mating member to lock the aquaculture cage, and in the unlocking state, the locking member is disengaged from the first mating member to unlock the aquaculture cage.

[0006] Optionally, the locking member is configured as a hydraulic bolt connected to the truss assembly, and the first mating member is configured as a positioning hole connected to the aquaculture cage.

[0007] Optionally, the number of the hydraulic bolts and the positioning holes is multiple and they correspond to each other one by one. The multiple hydraulic bolts are arranged at intervals along the inner side wall of the truss assembly, and the multiple positioning holes are arranged at intervals along the outer side wall of the aquaculture cage.

[0008] Optionally, the guide mechanism includes a guide member and a second matching member, the guide member is connected to the truss assembly and extends along the first direction, and the second matching member is connected to the breeding box and is slidably connected to the guide member.

[0009] Optionally, the guide member is configured as a slide rail extending along a first direction, the second mating member is configured as a pulley assembly slidably connected to the slide rail, and the pulley assembly includes a plurality of pulleys spaced apart along the first direction.

[0010] Optionally, the number of the slide rails and the pulley assemblies is multiple and corresponds one to one, the multiple slide rails are arranged at intervals along the inner wall of the truss assembly, and the multiple pulley assemblies are arranged at intervals along the outer wall of the breeding box.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the modular offshore aquaculture platform provided by the present disclosure allows for the cultivation of a variety of seafood by installing multiple aquaculture boxes correspondingly within the multiple accommodation spaces of the truss assembly. The entire platform body is lowered below sea level, allowing the cultivation of a variety of seafood in separate zones using the multiple aquaculture boxes. When the netting on the aquaculture box becomes clogged with a large amount of residual marine organisms underwater, or the netting is leaking, the aquaculture box can be guided and limited in a first direction by a guide mechanism, and the aquaculture box corresponding to the netting with excessive residual marine organisms or leaking is lifted upward in the first direction, i.e., raised above sea level. The aquaculture box now extends out of the accommodation space. After the aquaculture box is lifted to a suitable position above sea level, it can be locked by a locking mechanism, i.e., the relative position of the aquaculture box and the truss assembly remains fixed. Workers can then repair or replace the netting in the aquaculture box above sea level without the need for divers to dive underwater for the repair. In this manner, the difficulty of cleaning or repairing the netting in the aquaculture box is reduced, thereby reducing manual labor intensity.

Detailed Implementation Manner

[0026] The following provides a detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present disclosure in conjunction with the drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0027] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of the component or structure itself; "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequentiality or importance. In addition, the same figure marks in different reference drawings represent the same elements.

[0028] The present invention provides a modular offshore aquaculture platform. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the modular offshore aquaculture platform includes a platform body 1, aquaculture boxes 2, a guide mechanism 3 and a locking mechanism 4. The platform body 1 includes a truss assembly 110, and the truss assembly 110 is formed with a plurality of accommodating spaces 111; the number of aquaculture boxes 2 and the accommodating spaces 111 are the same and correspond one to one, and the aquaculture boxes 2 can move along a first direction to be accommodated in the accommodating space 111 or extend relative to the accommodating space 111; the guide mechanism 3 is connected to the truss assembly 110 and the aquaculture boxes 2, and the guide mechanism 3 is used to guide and limit the aquaculture boxes 2 along the first direction; the locking mechanism 4 is connected to the truss assembly 110 and the aquaculture boxes 2, and the locking mechanism 4 is used to lock and limit the aquaculture boxes 2 when the aquaculture boxes 2 extend out of the accommodating space 111; wherein the first direction is the height direction of the platform body 1.

[0029] Through the above-mentioned method, that is, the modular offshore aquaculture platform provided by the present disclosure, when a variety of seafood is cultured on the modular offshore aquaculture platform, multiple aquaculture boxes 2 can be installed one by one in the multiple accommodating spaces 111 of the truss assembly 110, and the entire platform body 1 is placed below the sea level, so that a variety of seafood can be cultured in different zones through the multiple aquaculture boxes 2. When the net on the aquaculture box 2 has a lot of residual marine organisms hanging on it underwater, or the net is broken or leaking, the aquaculture box 2 can be guided and limited in the first direction by the guide mechanism 3, and the net with too much residual marine organisms or leaking can be adjusted. The corresponding breeding box 2 is lifted upward in the first direction, that is, the breeding box 2 is lifted above the sea level. At this time, the breeding box 2 extends out of the accommodating space 111. After the breeding box 2 is lifted to a suitable position above the sea level, the breeding box 2 can be locked by the locking mechanism 4, that is, the relative position of the breeding box 2 and the truss assembly 110 remains fixed at this time, and the staff can repair or replace the net in the breeding box 2 above the sea level without the need for divers to dive underwater for repairs. In this way, the difficulty of cleaning or repairing the net in the breeding box 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the intensity of manual labor.

[0030] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the cultivation of various types of seafood (such as different types of fry), the number of the cultivation boxes 2 can be Figure 1For the eight examples shown, the aquaculture water body in each aquaculture tank 2 can be controlled between 2,500 and 5,000 cubic meters. In order to better cooperate with the platform main body 1, the length of each aquaculture tank 2 should not exceed 20 meters, and the width should not exceed 15 meters. In this way, the feeding equipment, net washing equipment, and lifting tooling 5 (which will be described in detail below) used in conjunction with the aquaculture tank 2 can be centrally managed, facilitating mechanized and intelligent operation and maintenance. Moreover, the aquaculture tank 2 mentioned in the above embodiment can be provided with an opening to facilitate the staff to put or regularly catch seafood into the aquaculture tank 2. For example, it can be combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the opening of the aquaculture tank 2 can be provided in the direction facing the sea level when the aquaculture tank 2 sinks to the bottom of the sea, that is, the highest point of the aquaculture tank 2. In this way, when the staff needs to put or catch seafood, the aquaculture tank 2 can be lifted by the lifting tooling 5 to the same height as the sea level or higher than the sea level, and then the seafood can be put or caught. Moreover, a hatch door that can be hinged to the aquaculture tank 2 and can open or cover the opening can be provided at the opening of the aquaculture tank 2. When the aquaculture tank 2 is lifted to put or catch seafood, the opening of the aquaculture tank 2 can be opened by opening the hatch door to facilitate putting and catching. After the operation is completed, the hatch door can be closed to cover the opening of the aquaculture tank 2, and then the aquaculture tank 2 can be put into the sea level again for normal aquaculture operations of seafood. After the aquaculture tank 2 is lifted, the relative position of the aquaculture tank 2 and the truss assembly 110 can be locked by the locking mechanism 4, so that the aquaculture tank 2 can be more stably kept relatively stationary, which can facilitate the replacement or repair of the netting, and can also prevent the aquaculture tank 2 from shaking relative to the truss assembly 110 and causing bumps, thereby reducing the situation of deformation or damage of the aquaculture tank 2 due to bumps and improving the service life of the aquaculture tank 2.

[0031] The aquaculture tank 2 mentioned in the above embodiment can be a net cage structure commonly used for aquaculture of seafood in the prior art, that is, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the effect, the net cage structure can include multiple criss-crossed steel bars or steel wires. The netting can be connected to the steel bars or steel wires of the net cage through locking devices such as elastic clips or buckles and is located on the inner side wall of the net cage to fix the net cage and the netting. Since the method of raising seafood through the net cage structure already widely exists in the prior art, the present disclosure is only for exemplary illustration here and will not be elaborated too much.

[0032] In addition, the truss assembly 110 mentioned in the above embodiment can be a frame structure for fixing the aquaculture tank 2. For example, it can be referred to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the frame structure may include a plurality of cross beams, longitudinal beams and columns. The plurality of cross beams, longitudinal beams and columns can jointly form a complete truss assembly 110, and can form a plurality of accommodation spaces 111 for accommodating the culture tanks 2. The truss assembly 110 as a whole can also be supported by lightweight alloy steel to reduce its own weight and facilitate subsequent lifting. In this arrangement, the frame structure itself can have better stability and anti-deformation ability, thereby protecting the culture tanks 2 in the accommodation spaces 111 from being deformed by external environmental impacts. Moreover, the frame structure can effectively save manufacturing materials, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. There are gaps formed between the cross beams, longitudinal beams and columns of the frame structure. In addition, when it is necessary to observe the cultivation situation of seafood underwater, the staff can more intuitively observe the cultivation situation of the seafood in the culture tank 2 directly below the sea level, and thus there is no need to lift the culture tank 2 above the sea level multiple times for observation.

[0033] The netting mentioned in the above embodiments can also be the netting commonly used in the prior art for fishing or cultivating seafood. For example, the netting can be installed on the inner side of the box body of the culture tank 2 through hooks or other suitable locking components. When fishing or collecting the seafood in the culture tank 2, the seafood can be collected by directly lifting the netting. And preferably, the netting can be a turtle shell net. The turtle shell net can maintain its flatness after sinking underwater and can further reduce the attachment of marine organisms (such as seagrass on the seabed). When different types of seafood are cultivated in a plurality of culture tanks 2, for example, when cultivating fish of different specifications, the mesh sizes of the netting in the plurality of culture tanks 2 can be of appropriate mesh sizes according to the different specifications of the fish to be able to cultivate different types of fish. Since the connection method between the netting and the culture tank 2 is already relatively mature in the prior art, the present disclosure will not elaborate on it too much.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking member 410 and a first mating member 420. One of the locking member 410 and the first mating member 420 is provided on the truss assembly 110, and the other is provided on the culture tank 2. The locking mechanism 4 includes a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking member 410 is connected to the first mating member 420 to lock the culture tank 2. In the unlocked state, the locking member 410 is disengaged from the first mating member 420 to unlock the culture tank 2. In this way, the culture tank 2 and the truss assembly 110 can be locked and unlocked through the cooperation of the locking member 410 and the first mating member 420. That is to say, when the locking member 410 is connected to the first mating member 420, the relative positions of the culture tank 2 and the truss assembly 110 remain stationary. At this time, the culture tank 2 is locked to the truss assembly 110, and the netting can be repaired or replaced. When the locking member 410 is disengaged from the first mating member 420, the culture tank 2 can move relative to the truss assembly 110, that is, it can move up and down along the first direction to adjust the position. The culture tank 2 can be sunk to the seabed or lifted above the sea level by the lifting tooling 5, so as to facilitate the staff to repair or replace the netting in the culture tank 2 above the sea level.

[0035] It should be noted that the locking member 410 and the first mating member 420 mentioned in the above embodiments can be arranged, locked and unlocked in any suitable way. That is, when the locking member 410 is provided on the truss assembly 110, the first mating member 420 is provided on the culture tank 2. Conversely, when the locking member 410 is provided on the culture tank 2, the first mating member 420 is provided on the truss assembly 110. The specific structures of the locking member 410 and the first mating member 420 can also be any suitable ones. For example, the locking member 410 can be a positioning pin for positioning the culture tank 2, and the first mating member 420 can be a mounting hole for inserting the positioning pin. Or, the locking member 410 can also be a hook, and the first mating member 420 can be a hanging ring or a shaft body for hanging the hook, etc. That is, as long as the culture tank 2 and the truss assembly 110 can be locked or unlocked. To avoid repetition, the present disclosure will elaborate on the specific structures of the locking member 410 and the first mating member 420 in the following text, and will not go into details here.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 410 is configured as a hydraulic plug connected to the truss assembly 110, and the first mating member 420 is configured as a positioning hole connected to the culture tank 2. In this way, the culture tank 2 can be locked and fixed to the truss assembly 110 by inserting the hydraulic plug into the positioning hole, or the culture tank 2 can move along the first direction after being unlocked. That is, as shown in Figure 6 shown, Figure 6An exemplary schematic relationship of the cooperation between the hydraulic pin and the positioning hole is shown. At this time, the breeding box 2 on the left side of the truss assembly 110 is in a lifted state. When the height of the breeding box 2 is lifted to an appropriate position, the hydraulic pin can be inserted into the positioning hole. At this time, through the locking cooperation between the hydraulic pin and the positioning hole, the position of the breeding box 2 can be locked relative to the truss assembly 110. At this time, the position of the breeding box 2 can be above the sea level, so as to facilitate the staff to repair or replace the net in the breeding box 2; while the breeding box 2 on the right side of the truss assembly 110 is in a natural state where it is not lifted at this time. At this time, the hydraulic pin shrinks and is not inserted into the positioning hole. The breeding box 2 can sink to a position near the bottom end of the truss assembly 110, that is, a position below the sea level, under the action of its own gravity or seawater pressure. Furthermore, the seafood in the breeding box 2 can be normally cultured and produced below the sea level. And the hydraulic pin mentioned in the above embodiment can also be widely applied to the existing hydraulic pins. Moreover, the hydraulic pin also has the advantages of simple operation, high reliability and strong environmental adaptability, and the force it can provide itself is also relatively large, and it can also achieve the effect of positioning and fixing the locking for the breeding box 2 with a relatively heavy self-structural weight.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the number of hydraulic pins and positioning holes is multiple and they correspond one by one. The multiple hydraulic pins are arranged at intervals along the inner side wall of the truss assembly 110, and the multiple positioning holes are arranged at intervals along the outer side wall of the breeding box 2. In this way, the multiple hydraulic pins and positioning holes can be locked or unlocked together. And the multiple positioning holes can be arranged circumferentially at intervals along the outer side wall of the breeding box 2, and the multiple hydraulic pins are also arranged at intervals along the inner side wall of the truss assembly 110. After the multiple hydraulic pins are all inserted into the positioning holes, the locking effect on the breeding box 2 can be improved, and then the breeding box 2 can be more stably limited, so as to facilitate the subsequent operations of the staff to repair or replace the net and catch seafood, etc. And, in order to further control the lifting height of the breeding box 2, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, multiple hydraulic pins can also be arranged at intervals along the truss assembly 110 in the first direction, and multiple positioning holes can also be arranged at intervals along the breeding box 2 in the first direction. In this arrangement, some of the multiple hydraulic pins can be inserted into the positioning holes, and some of the other hydraulic pins can be disengaged from the positioning holes, so as to achieve an adjustable lifting height of the breeding box 2, and Figure 5 and Figure 6 exemplarily gives the cooperation relationship between the breeding box 2 and the truss assembly 110 in the height direction. In Figure 6Among them, two hydraulic pins are arranged at intervals on the truss assembly 110 along the first direction. Correspondingly, two positioning holes are arranged at intervals on the outer side wall of the culture tank 2 along the first direction. Figure 6 The state shown is that the two hydraulic pins are inserted into the two positioning holes in one-to-one correspondence to fix the culture tank 2. In an embodiment not shown in the figure, when the culture tank 2 continues to rise or continue to fall, either of the two hydraulic pins can be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole. For example, in Figure 6 Among them, if the culture tank 2 continues to rise, the two hydraulic pins can be retracted first. After the culture tank 2 continues to be lifted by the lifting tooling 5 and rises, the hydraulic pin farther from the bottom of the truss assembly 110, that is, the upper hydraulic pin, can be inserted into the lower positioning hole of the culture tank 2. At this time, the culture tank 2 can be locked and fixed at a higher position. On the contrary, in Figure 6 Among them, if the culture tank 2 continues to fall, the two hydraulic pins can also be retracted. After the culture tank 2 is suspended by the lifting tooling 5 and descends, the hydraulic pin closer to the bottom of the truss assembly 110, that is, the lower hydraulic pin, can be inserted into the upper positioning hole of the culture tank 2. At this time, the culture tank 2 can be locked and fixed at a lower position. In this way, the function of locking and fixing the culture tank 2 at different heights can be realized.

[0038] It should be noted that the number of two hydraulic pins and positioning holes mentioned in the above embodiments is exemplary. The present disclosure is not limited thereto. In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the hydraulic pins can also be arranged at intervals along the first direction on the truss assembly 110 in three, four, five or more. Similarly, the positioning holes can also be arranged at intervals along the first direction on the outer side wall of the culture tank 2 in three, four, five or more, as long as the number of hydraulic pins and positioning holes corresponds one by one. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the guiding mechanism 3 includes a guiding member 310 and a second engaging member 320. The guiding member 310 is connected to the truss assembly 110 and extends along the first direction. The second engaging member 320 is connected to the culture tank 2 and is slidably connected to the guiding member 310. In this way, when the culture tank 2 moves relative to the truss assembly 110 along the first direction and rises or falls, the culture tank 2 can be moved more stably in the first direction by the cooperation and limiting of the guiding member 310 and the second engaging member 320. The guiding member 310 and the second engaging member 320 can also be any suitable structures that can be engaged for guiding. For example, the guiding member 310 can be a slide rail connected to the truss assembly 110. Correspondingly, the second engaging member can be a slider or a pulley slidably connected to the slide rail, etc. That is, any suitable structure through sliding cooperation can play a role in sliding limiting and guiding. The present disclosure will be elaborated in detail below and will not be elaborated too much here.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 7 as shown, the guide member 310 is configured as a slide rail extending in the first direction, and the second fitting 320 is configured as a pulley assembly slidably connected to the slide rail. The pulley assembly includes a plurality of pulleys 321 arranged at intervals in the first direction. In this way, when the cultivation tank 2 moves up or down relative to the truss assembly 110 along the first direction, the cooperation between the pulley 321 and the slide rail can be adopted, that is, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, when the cultivation tank 2 moves relative to the truss assembly 110, a plurality of pulleys 321 are provided on the outer side wall of the cultivation tank 2, and a slide rail for the pulleys 321 to slide is provided on the truss assembly 110. The lifting and lowering of the cultivation tank 2 in the first direction can be realized by the way that the pulley 321 rolls and abuts against the slide rail, and the slide rail provided on the truss assembly 110 can also play a certain limiting role on the plurality of pulleys 321 provided on the outer side wall of the cultivation tank 2, so that the cultivation tank 2 can move stably along the first direction to reduce the occurrence of deviation in other directions except the first direction.

[0041] To improve the connection effect between the pulley 321 and the slide rail itself, the slide rail can be made of channel steel and welded to the truss assembly 110. The pulley 321 is a wear-prone part and can be installed on the outer side wall of the cultivation tank 2 in a detachable manner to facilitate the subsequent maintenance or replacement of the pulley 321.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 7 as shown, the number of the slide rails and the pulley assemblies is multiple and they correspond one by one. The multiple slide rails are arranged at intervals along the inner side wall of the truss assembly 110, and the multiple pulley assemblies are arranged at intervals along the outer side wall of the cultivation tank 2. In this way, when the cultivation tank 2 slides relative to the slide rail through the pulley assembly and rises or falls along the first direction, the multiple slide rails and the multiple pulley assemblies can cooperate one by one, that is, Figure 2 as shown in the figure, when the cultivation tank 2 rises and falls along the first direction, the multiple pulley assemblies circumferentially arranged at intervals on the outer side wall of the cultivation tank 2 cooperate with the multiple slide rails on the truss assembly 110 for limiting, which can further improve the stability of the cultivation tank 2 when rising and falling in the first direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 7 as shown, the platform main body 1 further includes a guide rail 120 connected to the truss assembly 110, and the modular offshore aquaculture platform further includes a lifting tooling 5 connected to the guide rail 120. The lifting tooling 5 can drive the cultivation tank 2 to move in the first direction. In this way, when it is necessary to lift the cultivation tank 2 and repair or replace the netting inside the cultivation tank 2, the lifting tooling 5 can move along the extension direction of the guide rail 120, and after moving to the upper part of the corresponding cultivation tank 2, through the hook 501 on the lifting tooling 5 (Figure 4 and Figure 7 After hanging on the edge of the opening part of the culture box 2 or the frame of the culture box 2 itself as shown, the culture box 2 can be manipulated to rise or fall in the first direction by the lifting tooling 5. Lifting the culture box 2 by the lifting tooling 5 can ensure the stability of the box body during the rising or falling process of the culture box 2, thereby reducing the shaking generated by the culture box 2. Moreover, transporting the culture box 2 by the mechanized lifting tooling 5 can greatly reduce the labor intensity and save manpower.

[0044] It should be noted that the lifting tooling 5 in the above embodiments can be any suitable structure. For example, the modular offshore aquaculture platform provided in the present disclosure is usually set up offshore. In such a layout scenario, the lifting tooling 5 can adopt the trolley lifting system commonly used in the prior art. For example, reference can be made to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, when the lifting tooling 5 adopts the trolley lifting system, the trolley lifting system can include a crane tooling 510 and a trolley crane. Among them, the trolley crane can include a crane crossbeam 520, a support beam 530, and a crane 540 with a hook 541. The support beam 530 can extend in a direction away from the culture box 2 along the height direction of the culture box 2, and the bottom end can be slidably connected to the guide rail 120, while the guide rail 120 can extend along the length direction of the culture box 2. The crane crossbeam 5 can extend horizontally, for example, along the width direction of the culture box 2. The crane 540 can be slidably connected to the crane crossbeam 520 along the extending direction of the crane crossbeam 520 to drive the hook 541 to move along the width direction of the culture box 2. The hook 541 can also lift the crane tooling 510, and thus can drive the crane tooling 510 to move along the width direction of the culture box 2. The hook 501 can be arranged at the end of the crane tooling 510 away from the crane crossbeam 520, and finally can drive the hook 501 on the crane tooling 510 to move along the width direction of the culture box 2. Moreover, the crane 540 can also drive the hook 541 to move along the height direction of the culture box 2, that is, the first direction, and thus can drive the crane tooling 510 to rise or fall in the first direction to drive the hook 501 to approach or move away from the culture box 2, realizing the lifting operation of the culture box 2. In this layout mode, three translational degrees of freedom of the trolley lifting system in space can be realized, that is, it can be combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, when the support beam 530 moves along the extension direction of the guide rail 120, the trolley lifting system can be moved in the length direction of the breeding box 2. When the crane 540 moves along the extension direction of the crane beam 520, the trolley lifting system can be moved in the width direction of the breeding box 2. When the crane 540 drives the hook 541 to drive the crane tooling 510 and the hook 501 to move up and down along the first direction, the trolley lifting system can be moved in the height direction of the breeding box 2. In this arrangement, only one trolley lifting system is required to realize the above-mentioned embodiment or Figure 1 The lifting of the eight breeding boxes 2 in the example can be achieved by using a single crane 540 to lift multiple breeding boxes 2 in sequence and can be locked with hydraulic latches. Configuring one crane 540 can also save equipment investment.

[0045] It should be noted that in Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 In the example, two support beams 530 can be provided at both ends of the crane beam 520 respectively. Under this arrangement, two guide rails 120 can be arranged, and the two guide rails 120 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the breeding box 2. Among the two support beams 530 at each end of the crane beam 520, one support beam 530 is slidably matched with one guide rail 120, and the other support beam 530 is slidably matched with the other guide rail 120. In addition, the two guide rails 120 mentioned in the above embodiment are exemplary, and the number of guide rails 120 can also be more, such as three, four, five or more, and multiple trolley lifting systems can be arranged accordingly to lift multiple breeding boxes 2 at the same time. At the same time, the present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on the arrangement of multiple guide rails 120. For example, Figure 1 The breeding box 2 shown in the figure is a rectangular body. When the breeding box 2 is constructed as other polygonal bodies, the guide rail 120 can also be extended and arranged in other suitable directions according to the different structural shapes of the breeding box 2. This disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the platform body 1 further includes a pad 130 connected to the truss assembly 110 and capable of abutting the ground surface of the aquaculture box 2. In this way, the pad 130 can provide cushioning and rear support for the aquaculture box 2 when the aquaculture box 2 is below sea level and located near the bottom of the truss assembly 110, thereby preventing the aquaculture box 2 from directly contacting the bottom surface of the truss assembly 110.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5As shown, the platform body 1 also includes a caisson 140 connected to the truss assembly 110. The caisson 140 is located on the side of the truss assembly 110 away from the pad 130. In this way, when the platform body 1 needs to be sunk to the seabed for normal operation, the weight of the caisson 140 can drive the entire platform body 1 and the aquaculture tank 2 to the seabed. After sinking to the seabed, the truss assembly 110 of the platform body 1 can also limit the aquaculture tank 2. The weight of the caisson 140 ensures that the modular offshore aquaculture platform does not shake during normal seafood aquaculture on the seabed, thereby improving the overall stability of the modular offshore aquaculture platform after it is sunk to the seabed.

[0048] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0049] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0050] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
