Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fishing tool, in particular to a novel fishing cage which utilizes light to trap fish. Background Art
[0002] At present, conventional fish cages sold on the market generally use the method of putting bait into the fish cage to attract fish into the cage. Therefore, it is generally necessary to purchase additional bait when fishing, which increases the cost of fishing. When recycling the fish cage, if the bait in the cage is not eaten, the remaining bait needs to be cleaned out of the cage to avoid stinking, which is a cumbersome operation.
[0003] In addition, conventional fish cages on the market are fixed and have a non-foldable bottom. They are bulky, making them inconvenient to carry and store. Furthermore, after catching a fish, it is difficult to release it directly from the bottom opening. Therefore, a new type of fish cage that is more convenient and practical and that utilizes alternative methods to attract fish is needed. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described with reference to the following embodiments.
[0030] The embodiment of the utility model relates to a novel fish trap using light trapping, see attached Figure 1 The fishing cage includes an overall frame, which includes a regular polygonal skeleton formed by connecting a number of folding rods 10 end to end. The regular polygonal skeleton is a regular triangle, a regular quadrilateral, a regular pentagon, a regular hexagon, a regular heptagon or a regular octagon. This embodiment is described in detail using a regular hexagonal skeleton as an example. An upper connecting rod 1 and a lower connecting rod 9 are movably connected upward and downward at each connection node of the regular hexagonal skeleton. The upper connecting rod 1 intersects at a point and is fixed to form a retractable and foldable hexagonal cone. The end of the lower connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to a regular hexagonal frame 5 with a side length smaller than that of the regular hexagonal skeleton. The overall frame is covered with a layer of mesh The net surface 6 is provided with a net hole 2 on the covering surface of each side surface of the hexagonal pyramid-shaped overall skeleton. The net hole 2 is large on the outside and small on the inside to prevent the trapped fish from escaping. The net surface 6 is provided with a net surface outlet corresponding to the regular hexagonal frame 5, and the net surface outlet is retracted and released by a rope knot; a lifting rope 7 is provided at the intersection of the upper connecting rod 1, and the lifting rope 7 is a nylon rope with a length of 4m. The lifting rope 7 is provided outside the overall frame, and the end of the lifting rope is connected to a stainless steel buckle 8; a light source is provided inside the overall frame and can be connected to the intersection of the upper connecting rods. The light source includes a sealed lamp box 3 and a light source 4, and the light emitted by the light source 4 is a weak blue-violet light.
[0031] When using the fishing cage, the folded whole frame is first unfolded and thrown into waters with fish so that it is completely submerged in the water. The lifting rope 7 is passed around a fixed object and buckled onto the lifting rope 7 itself with a buckle 8. The fish will be attracted by the light source 4 emitting weak blue-violet light in the sealed light box 3 and enter the cage along the mesh holes 2 on the mesh surface 6. When the fish in the cage are to be taken out, the bottom can be folded downward so that the fish can be released from the bottom opening. When the fish cage is to be recycled, the bottom can be folded upward, and the whole frame can be gathered and contracted along the connection nodes to make it convenient to carry and store.
[0032] In some other embodiments, the overall frame is made of stainless steel, so that the fishing cage has good corrosion resistance and is lighter and more durable.
[0033] In some other embodiments, the mesh size of the net surface is 0.5 cm, which can achieve differential capture of large fish and small fish.
[0034] In some other embodiments, the edges of the net holes are made of fluorescent material, which can guide the fish into the cage through the net holes.
[0035] In some other embodiments, the sealed lamp box is a spherical or cylindrical box with a detachable spiral seal, which is transparent and impermeable, and can transmit light while ensuring that the lamp source is not damaged by water immersion, and the lamp source can also be freely placed and removed.
[0036] In some other embodiments, the light source is powered by a rechargeable power source and can be recharged and reused.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
