Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oyster farming technology, specifically to an anti-fouling oyster farming cage. Background Technology

[0002] In current marine oyster farming production, traditional oyster farming tools are prone to fouling. After a period of use, the oyster cages and plastic trays become covered with a lot of fouling organisms, such as medium to large seaweed, barnacles, mussels, and other shellfish, as well as sponges and other parasites. Over time, the fouling will block the mesh of the farming tools, causing the farmed shellfish and the farmed products to compete for growth space, affecting the oxygen content of the seawater, increasing the weight of the farming tools, and wasting unnecessary marine buoyancy resources.

[0003] Currently, the main methods used in China to address the problem of fouling and biofouling in shellfish cages include manual cleaning, scraping, and water jet rinsing. These methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and they also pollute the terrestrial environment, potentially affecting the environmental hygiene of aquaculture areas. Furthermore, since the netting and plastic trays are integrated, they need to be disassembled for comprehensive cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0015] 2. This oyster farming anti-fouling cage, through its installation mechanism, covers the top opening of the cage when the cage cover is placed on top of the cage body. At this time, the cage cover can drive the connecting plate to be inserted into the rectangular groove, and the long plate to be inserted into the long groove. By moving the locking plate to rotate on one side of the hinge plate, the locking plate drives the locking block to be locked into the slot, thus limiting and fixing the position of the cage cover. This prevents oysters from falling from the top opening of the cage body when the cage is placed in the sea for oyster farming.

[0016] 3. This anti-fouling oyster farming cage effectively solves the problem of marine fouling organisms attaching to oyster farming tools, reduces the weight of the farming tools, allows the mesh of the farming tools to flow smoothly with water and ensures sufficient oxygen, providing oysters with a suitable growth space, eliminates the tedious process of manually cleaning oyster cages, saves labor costs in aquaculture, extends the growth period, and solves the environmental problem of land-based aquaculture waste in aquaculture areas.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 4 A type of anti-fouling oyster farming cage includes a connecting circular plate 1, a cage body 2 and a cage cover 6. The top of the cage body 2 is fixedly connected to a hanging ring connecting rope 3. A connecting mechanism 5 is provided on the cage body 2 and the connecting circular plate 1. An installation mechanism 4 is provided on the cage cover 6 and the cage body 2.

[0029] The connecting mechanism 5 includes a fixing ring 503, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cage 2. The fixing ring 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring 503 around the perimeter. The connecting circular plate 1 has slots 56 around its perimeter. The bottom of the connecting circular plate 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 51. The outer ring of the connecting ring 51 has a T-shaped annular groove 52. The insert plate 502 has a square groove 57 inside. A block 58 is inserted into the square groove 57. A fixing plate 55 is fixedly connected to the side of the block 58 near the connecting ring 51. The two ends of the fixing plate 55 near the connecting ring 51 are hinged to hinge seats 54. The other side of the hinge seat 54 is hinged to a T-shaped annular slider 53. A pull plate 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 55. Bolts 59 are threadedly connected to the insert plate 502 and the block 58.

[0030] The top and bottom of the slot 56 are set as openings. There are four slots 56 and four insert plates 502. The interior of the four insert plates 502 is inserted into the surface of the four slots 56. There are eight T-shaped annular sliders 53, which are in pairs. The surface of the T-shaped annular sliders 53 is slidably connected to the interior of the T-shaped annular grooves 52.

[0031] Furthermore, the cage 2 is placed on top of the connecting circular plate 1. At this time, the insert plate 502 can be inserted into the slot 56. Pushing the pull plate 501 moves the fixing plate 55. The fixing plate 55 moves the block 58 into the square groove 57. When the fixing plate 55 moves, the T-shaped annular slider 53 can slide in the T-shaped annular groove 52. This makes the movement of the fixing plate 55 more stable. The block 58 and the insert plate 502 are threadedly fixed with bolts 59, and the cage 2 can be installed on top of the connecting circular plate 1. At this time, oysters can be easily placed into the cage through the opening at the top of the cage 2. At the same time, when it is necessary to take out or clean the successfully farmed oysters, the connecting circular plate 1 and the cage 2 can be disassembled, making the operation simple and quick. Example 2

[0032] See Figure 1-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the installation mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the top periphery of the cage cover 6. Connecting seats 45 are fixedly connected to the top periphery of the cage body 2 respectively. The connecting seats 45 are located on the outside of the cage cover 6. A rectangular groove 44 is opened on the top of the connecting seat 45. A long groove 42 is opened inside the connecting plate 41. The two ends of the long groove 42 are set as openings. A long plate 43 is inserted into the long groove 42. The two sides of the long plate 43 are provided with slots 49. A hinge plate 46 is fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the connecting seat 45. A locking plate 47 is hinged to the other side of the hinge plate 46. A locking block 48 is fixedly connected to the side of the locking plate 47 near the long plate 43.

[0033] The top and inner side of the rectangular groove 44 are set as openings, the surface of the connecting plate 41 is inserted into the inside of the rectangular groove 44, the inside of the connecting seat 45 is provided with through grooves on both sides, the surface of the long plate 43 is inserted into the through grooves on both sides of the connecting seat 45, the side of the slot 49 away from the connecting plate 41 is set as an opening, and the surface of the card block 48 is engaged with the inside of the slot 49.

[0034] Furthermore, when the cage cover 6 is placed on top of the cage body 2, the cage cover 6 covers the opening at the top of the cage body 2. At this time, the cage cover 6 can drive the connecting plate 41 to be inserted into the rectangular groove 44, and the long plate 43 to be inserted into the long groove 42. The locking plate 47 is rotated on one side of the hinge plate 46, so that the locking plate 47 drives the locking block 48 to be locked into the locking groove 49. This can limit and fix the position of the cage cover 6, so that when the cage is placed in the sea for oyster farming, the oysters will not fall from the opening at the top of the cage body 2.

[0035] In seawater, copper and copper alloys form a protective film of cuprous oxide directly on their surface.

[0036] When seawater is electrolyzed using copper electrodes, the reaction is: Anode: Cu - 2e = Cu²⁺; Cathode: 2H⁺ + 2e = H₂.

[0037] Copper, aluminum, or iron are used as electrodes; the electrodes themselves lose electrons.

[0038] The overall equation is Cu + 2H₂O = Cu(OH)₂ + H₂

[0039] In actual operation, when this device is used to cultivate oysters, the cage 2 can first be placed on top of the connecting round plate 1. At this time, the insert plate 502 can be inserted into the slot 56. Pushing the pull plate 501 will move the fixing plate 55. The fixing plate 55 will move the block 58 into the square groove 57. Since the fixing plate 55, the hinge seat 54 and the T-shaped annular slider 53 are hinged, when the fixing plate 55 moves, the T-shaped annular slider 53 can slide in the T-shaped annular groove 52. This makes the movement of the fixing plate 55 more stable. The block 58 and the insert plate 502 are threaded and fixed with bolts 59, and the cage 2 can be installed on top of the connecting round plate 1. At this time, it is convenient to put oysters into the cage through the opening at the top of the cage 2. At the same time, when it is necessary to take out or clean the successfully cultivated oysters, the connecting round plate 1 and the cage 2 can be disassembled, making the operation simple and quick.

[0040] When the cage cover 6 is placed on top of the cage body 2, the cage cover 6 covers the opening at the top of the cage body 2. At this time, the cage cover 6 can drive the connecting plate 41 to be inserted into the rectangular groove 44, and the long plate 43 to be inserted into the long groove 42. The locking plate 47 is moved to rotate on one side of the hinge plate 46, so that the locking plate 47 drives the locking block 48 to be locked into the locking groove 49. This can limit and fix the position of the cage cover 6, so that when the cage is placed in the sea for oyster farming, the oysters will not fall from the opening at the top of the cage body 2.

[0041] Because cage 2 is made of synthetic fiber mesh material and metal mesh wires that are interlocked through laying, bending and spiraling, copper sulfate ions are generated by a trace chemical reaction between copper metal and hydrochloric acid in seawater. This prevents parasitic larvae from attaching to the surface of cage 2, solves the problem of marine fouling organisms attaching to oyster farming tools, reduces the weight of farming tools, and allows the mesh of the farming tools to be permeable to water for a long time with sufficient oxygen, so that oysters have a suitable growth space.
