Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine aquaculture, in particular to a breeding cage that is convenient for harvesting marine products. Background Art

[0002] Humans obtain fisheries or aquatic food from the ocean through two primary means: fishing and aquaculture. Marine fisheries are a generous gift from the ocean to humanity, but overfishing has long depleted fishery resources, posing a serious threat to the ocean's ecological balance. Therefore, aquaculture has emerged as a sustainable production method, a product of human ingenuity aimed at ensuring an adequate food source for humanity while meeting the needs of food security in a developing society. As a mainstream development in the marine industry, aquaculture not only helps restore and protect the marine ecosystem but also promotes the diversification of the fishery economy.

[0003] Deep-sea cages are a benchmark for advanced productivity among numerous marine aquaculture methods. They utilize the deep-sea environment to provide more suitable growth conditions for marine delicacies such as sea urchins, sea cucumbers, yellow croaker, and abalone. Deep-sea cages generally consist of floating rafts and cages suspended from them. These cages are designed to withstand harsh sea conditions and ensure the safe growth of marine delicacies in the deep sea. As shown in the Chinese patent for a modular combination cage (application number CN202321609807.6), the design and technology of deep-sea cages are constantly innovating to adapt to different marine environments and aquaculture needs.

[0004] However, with the expansion of deep-sea aquaculture, existing deep-sea cages also face some challenges. For example, during the harvesting season, workers need to carry seafood over long distances to the harvesting boats docked on the side of the floating raft, which not only wastes a lot of labor, but also poses a safety hazard due to the slippery pedals. Utility Model Content

[0042] The overall structure of the floating raft unit 10 is in the shape of a Chinese character 'Ri' (day character). Each floating raft unit 10 is provided with two net cage hanging areas 110 for hanging and fixing the net cages; in the middle of the floating raft unit 10 are two parallel floating pipes one 120, and the remaining sides of the floating raft unit 10 are all single floating pipes two 130. Pedals 180 are provided on both the floating pipe one 120 and the floating pipe two 130; a guiding slide rail 190 is further provided in the middle of the floating raft unit 10. The guiding slide rail 190 is arranged between the two floating pipes one 120 and is higher than the pedal 180. The harvesting box 20 can slide along the guiding slide rail 190.

[0043] Among them, the four sides of the top of the net cage are respectively hung and fixed on the surrounding floating pipes.

[0044] During the harvest season, workers put the seafood珍品 salvaged from the net cage into the harvesting box 20. When it is necessary to move the harvesting box 20, only a push is needed, which saves time and effort and manpower; in addition, since the harvesting box 20 is located on the guiding slide rail 190 and is arranged on the pedal 180, it has a low center of gravity and no risk of tipping over, and is not likely to cause safety accidents.

[0045] The floating pipe 120 is a PE pipe with a diameter of 200 mm. Two floating pipes 120 are arranged in parallel and at a certain distance in the middle of the floating row unit 10. Their function is to widen the platform to facilitate operations such as drying nets, maintenance and harvesting. The floating pipe 2 130 is a PE pipe with a diameter of 280 mm. The use of a single pipe has low cost and high buoyancy.

[0046] Both ends of the floating tube 120 and the floating tube 2 130 are provided with a connector 121. Depending on the actual situation, the connector 121 can be a male connector or a female connector.

The stop rib 131 can cooperate with the following clamp bracket 3 160 and the clamp bracket 4 170 and be embedded in the gap 161 to prevent the pedestrian pedal 180 installed on the single tube assembly from tipping over or deflecting during operation, thereby preventing dangerous situations from occurring.

[0049] There are two floating tubes 120, and the two floating tubes 120 are arranged in parallel through two clamp brackets 140 and several clamp brackets 2 150. The two clamp brackets 140 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the floating tube 120, and the several clamp brackets 2 150 are evenly spaced and arranged between the two clamp brackets 140.

[0050] There are six floating tubes 2 130 in total, two of which are parallel to the floating tube 1 120, and four are vertically connected to the floating tube 1 120, and are symmetrically arranged in groups of two on both sides of the floating tube 1 120; a clamping bracket 3 160 is respectively provided at both ends of the two floating tubes 130 parallel to the floating tube 1 120, and a plurality of clamping brackets 4 170 are evenly spaced between the two clamping brackets 3 160; a plurality of clamping brackets 4 170 are evenly spaced on the four floating tubes 2 130 vertically connected to the floating tube 1 120.

Specifically, after one end of the floating tube 120 passes through the fixing hole 141, the gap 161 is narrowed by a bolt passing through the retracted screw hole 142, thereby reducing the diameter of the fixing hole 141 and securing the two floating tubes 120. The pedal 180 is bolted to the pedal fixing portion 143. The pedal fixing portion 143 is arranged above the floating tube 120 via several support plates 146. The support plates 146 raise the pedestrian pedal 180 to a certain height, clear of the water surface, to prevent seawater from interfering with the operator during operation. In addition, partitions 145 are installed on both sides of the pedal fixing portion 143 to effectively prevent the pedal 180 from sliding sideways.

[0062] The second joint 147 is provided with a plurality of inserting plates at even intervals, and the inserting plates are provided with pin shaft holes 147a.

[0063] The connection method between the clamp bracket 3 160 and the floating tube 2 130 and the pedal 180 is the same as that of the clamp bracket 1 140 and will not be repeated here.

[0064] The clamp bracket 170 is provided with a fixing hole 141 and two pedal fixing parts 143; the two pedal fixing parts 143 are arranged above the fixing hole 141 through a plurality of support plates 146, and a partition plate 145 is provided on one side of the pedal fixing part 143; a gap 161 is provided between the two pedal fixing parts 143, and the side plates on both sides of the gap 161 are provided with retracted screw holes 142.

The harvesting box 20 is located on the pedal 180 in the middle of the floating unit 10. The guide rail 190 is embedded in the chute 21, and the harvesting box 20 can slide along the guide rail 190. This makes it convenient for workers to use the harvesting box 20 to drag the harvested seafood to the side of the harvesting vessel, improving the current lifting and harvesting method and reducing the intensity of work.

[0066] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
