Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a novel annular aquaculture cage, which includes an annular buoy 1, a support assembly, a deck, and auxiliary components.

[0018] In this embodiment, the annular pontoon 1 is shaped like a racetrack ring, and its internal chamber is divided into two ballast tanks 9 and two pump tanks 10. The two ballast tanks 9 and the two pump tanks 10 are arranged alternately and symmetrically. In actual operation, each ballast tank 9 is a sealed tank used to store water to change the weight of the entire aquaculture cage, thereby changing its immersion depth in seawater. It should also be noted that each pump tank 10 is equipped with several sets of water pumps. Each water pump is placed in the corresponding pump tank 10 to pump seawater from the outside into the corresponding ballast tank 9 when needed, or to pump seawater out of the corresponding ballast tank 9 when needed, thereby changing the weight of the entire aquaculture cage and thus changing the draft of the entire aquaculture cage.

[0019] It should also be noted that the installation methods of various water pumps are relatively common in this field, so their installation will not be described in detail here.

[0020] In this embodiment, two buoyancy balances 11 are provided in the middle of the annular pontoon 1. The two buoyancy balances 11 are symmetrically arranged and correspond one-to-one with the two pump chambers 10. One end of each buoyancy balance 11 is connected to the corresponding pump chamber 10, and the other end is connected to the support assembly. Similarly, each water pump in each pump chamber 10 can inject or pump water into the corresponding buoyancy balance 11, thereby changing the weight of the seawater in the corresponding buoyancy balance 11. Thus, the balance of the entire aquaculture cage is adjusted by adjusting the weight of the seawater in the two buoyancy balances 11. It should be noted that the installation method of each water pump is a relatively common technology in this field, so its installation will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The support assembly is disposed between the annular pontoon 1 and the deck. The lower end of the support assembly is connected to the upper end of the annular pontoon 1, and the upper end is connected to the lower end of the deck. The support assembly includes a plurality of first vertical rods 2 and a plurality of second vertical rods 3. In this embodiment, each first vertical rod 2 and each second vertical rod 3 is arranged alternately. The lower end of each first vertical rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular pontoon 1, and the upper end is connected to the deck. The lower end of each second vertical rod 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular pontoon 1, and the upper end is connected to the deck.

[0022] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes several first horizontal bars 4 and several second horizontal bars 5, wherein the upper ends of any adjacent first vertical bars 2 and the upper ends of any adjacent second vertical bars 3 are fixedly connected by a first horizontal bar 4, and the middle parts of any adjacent first vertical bars 2 and the middle parts of any adjacent second vertical bars 3 are fixedly connected by a second horizontal bar 5. This can enhance the stability of each first vertical bar 2, each second vertical bar 3, each first horizontal bar 4, and each second horizontal bar 5, thereby improving the typhoon resistance of the entire aquaculture cage.

[0023] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes several third crossbars 6, which are staggered in the middle of the annular pontoon 1 and connected to each other. In this embodiment, the third crossbars 6 are arranged in a cross shape and are fixedly connected to the annular pontoon 1. The end of each buoyancy balance chamber 11 away from the corresponding pump chamber 10 is fixedly connected to a third crossbar 6. This can enhance the stability of each buoyancy balance chamber 11, thereby improving the ability to adjust the stability of the aquaculture cage.

[0024] In this embodiment, the deck includes a main deck 12 and a deck walkway 13. The lower ends of both the main deck 12 and the deck walkway 13 are fixedly connected to the corresponding first vertical bar 2 and the corresponding second vertical bar 3. In actual operation, the deck walkway 13 is for the convenience of workers, while the main deck 12 is for supporting other equipment. Furthermore, a control room 14 and a hoisting device 15 are constructed on the upper surface of the main deck 12. The control room 14 serves as the operator's room and contains an operating system that meets the requirements of the operating conditions. In this embodiment, the operating system can be considered as prior art, while the hoisting device 15 is used to hoist cargo when needed.

[0025] In this embodiment, the auxiliary components include several mooring devices 7 and several anchoring and positioning systems 8. Each mooring device 7 is respectively installed on each of the first vertical rods 2, and each anchoring and positioning system 8 is installed on the outer wall of the annular buoy 1. It should be noted that the number of mooring devices 7 and anchoring and positioning systems 8 is set according to requirements and is not limited by the accompanying drawings of this embodiment.

[0026] The working method of a novel annular aquaculture cage in this embodiment is as follows: First, water can be injected or pumped into each ballast tank 9 by the water pump in each pump chamber 10 to meet the water requirements of the aquaculture cage. At the same time, water can be injected or pumped into each gravity buoyancy balance tank 11 by the water pump to adjust the stability of the entire aquaculture cage. In combination with the setting of the support components, the typhoon resistance of the entire aquaculture cage is improved.
