Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber farming, specifically an inflatable, buoyant device for sea cucumber farming. Background Technology
[0002] Current sea cucumber farming methods, such as pond farming or shallow sea farming, are often limited by the farming space, making it difficult to achieve high-density, large-scale farming. It is also difficult to adjust the farming environment according to the growth needs of sea cucumbers, such as water depth and water quality. This may result in slow growth and poor quality of sea cucumbers. The farming management of sea cucumbers, such as feeding and cleaning, often requires manual diving into the water, which is complicated and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an inflatable floating device for sea cucumber farming.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A floating inflatable device for sea cucumber farming includes a floating air cushion with a sinking port in the center. The air cushion is U-shaped. Two symmetrically distributed support columns are fixedly connected to the top of the air cushion, located diagonally opposite the sinking port. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the tops of the two support columns, passing through the tops of both columns. A reel is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a suspension rope is wound around the outer wall of the reel. One end of the suspension rope is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reel, and the other end hangs downward and is fixedly connected to a hanger. The hanger consists of three support rods, one end of which is fixedly connected to... The other ends of the three support rods extend outward at equal angles. Each of the outer ends of the three support rods is fixedly connected to a lifting ring. Below the hanger is a net box. The top of the net box is fixedly connected to three latches, which correspond to the three lifting rings. The latches are hung on the lifting rings. The net box is located above the settling inlet. The net box has a cubic box structure. The outer wall of the net box is made of mesh. The inside of the net box is equipped with several drawers, which are arranged vertically. One side of the net box has several openings, and the drawers slide with the openings. The right side wall of the right support column is equipped with a drive mechanism, which rotates with the shaft. The settling inlet is fitted with the net box with a gap.
[0006] The drive mechanism includes a fixed base, which is fixed to the right side wall of the support column on the right side. The fixed base contains a drive shaft that extends vertically and is rotatably connected to the fixed base. Both the top and bottom ends of the drive shaft are fixedly connected to bevel gear two. The right end of the shaft is fixedly connected to bevel gear one, which meshes with the upper bevel gear two. Below the fixed base is a crank handle, which is rotatably connected to the support column. The outer wall of the crank handle is fixedly fitted with bevel gear three, which meshes with the lower bevel gear two.
[0007] The outer wall of the fixed seat is threaded with a locking stud, which penetrates the outer wall of the fixed seat and the end of the locking stud abuts against the outer wall of the drive shaft.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This invention allows for the raising and lowering of the cages with a simple crank operation, reducing costs and maintenance difficulty while increasing operational flexibility and reliability.
[0010] The cage is designed with multiple drawers inside, each of which can be pulled out independently, facilitating individual management of sea cucumber farming, such as feeding and cleaning, thus improving farming efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0017] like Figure 1-5As shown: An inflatable, buoyant device for sea cucumber farming includes a floating air cushion 1 with a sinking port 2 in the middle. The floating air cushion 1 is U-shaped. Two symmetrically distributed support columns 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the floating air cushion 1, located diagonally opposite the sinking port 2. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected between the tops of the two support columns 3, passing through the tops of the two support columns 3. A winding reel 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. A suspension rope 6 is wound around the outer wall of the winding reel 5. One end of the suspension rope 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding reel 5, and the other end of the suspension rope 6 hangs downward and is fixedly connected to a hanger 7. The hanger 7 consists of three support rods, one end of which is fixed... The three support rods extend outwards at equal angles at their other ends. Each of the three support rods has a fixed lifting ring 8 at its bottom. A mesh box 9 is located below the hanger 7. Three latches 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the mesh box 9, corresponding to the three lifting rings 8. The latches 10 are hung on the lifting rings 8. The mesh box 9 is located above the settling inlet 2. The mesh box 9 has a cubical box structure with mesh openings on its outer wall. Several drawers 11 are arranged vertically inside the mesh box 9. Several openings 19 are located on one side of the mesh box 9, and the drawers 11 slide in conjunction with the openings 19. A drive mechanism is installed on the right side wall of the right-side support column 3, and the drive mechanism rotates in conjunction with the rotating shaft 4. The settling inlet 2 and the mesh box 9 are fitted with a clearance.
[0018] The drive mechanism includes a fixed base 13, which is fixed to the right side wall of the support column 3 on the right side. The fixed base 13 has a drive shaft 14 inside, which extends vertically and is rotatably connected to the fixed base 13. The top and bottom ends of the drive shaft 14 are fixedly connected to bevel gear 15. The right end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to bevel gear 12, which meshes with the upper bevel gear 15. The fixed base 13 has a crank handle 17 below, which is rotatably connected to the support column 3. The outer wall of the crank handle 17 is fixedly sleeved with bevel gear 18, which meshes with the lower bevel gear 15.
[0019] The outer wall of the fixed base 13 is threaded with a locking stud 16, which penetrates the outer wall of the fixed base 13 and the end of the locking stud 16 abuts against the outer wall of the drive shaft 14.
[0020] The floating air cushion 1 provides buoyancy on the water surface. The net cage 9 is hung on the hanging ring 8 by the locking buckle 10 and suspended above the sinking port 2. The drawer 11 inside the net cage 9 is closed, and aquaculture products such as sea cucumbers are placed in the drawer 11.
[0021] The operator holds the crank handle 17 and rotates it clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation of the crank handle 17 drives the bevel gear 18 to rotate. Since the bevel gear 18 meshes with the bevel gear 15 below, the bevel gear 15 rotates accordingly.
[0022] The drive shaft 14 rotates through the synchronous rotation of two upper and lower bevel gears 15. The upper bevel gear 15 then drives the bevel gear 12 meshing with it to rotate, thereby causing the shaft 4 to rotate.
[0023] The rotation of the shaft 4 drives the winding wheel 5 to rotate, so the suspension rope 6 wound on the winding wheel 5 is either wound up or released. When the suspension rope 6 is wound up, the hanging frame 7 and the net box 9 below it descend; conversely, when the suspension rope 6 is released, the net box 9 rises.
[0024] By continuously rotating the crank 17, the lifting position of the net cage 9 can be precisely controlled, allowing it to suspend at different water depths as needed to adapt to the growth requirements of sea cucumbers.
[0025] Once the net cage 9 is lowered to the appropriate position, the operator can open the drawer 11 to perform aquaculture management work such as feeding, cleaning, or inspection of the sea cucumbers. The design of the drawer 11 makes it easy to operate independently without affecting the sea cucumbers in other drawers 11.
