Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a connector and an aquaculture drain. [Background Technology]

[0002] With the continuous development of the coast, the development and utilization of coastal and nearshore waters are gradually becoming more complete; coupled with the increase in the density of aquaculture in nearshore waters and the frequent occurrence of disorderly aquaculture problems, offshore aquaculture has become an inevitable trend in order to improve the quality of aquatic products.

[0003] Offshore aquaculture areas are prone to large waves, while traditional coastal aquaculture mainly uses floating rafts. These rafts typically consist of a load-bearing frame and buoys that securely connect to it. The load-bearing frame usually includes perpendicular horizontal and vertical bars, which are connected by steel cables or metal foil strips. For large load-bearing frames, the connections provided by steel cables or metal foil strips are close to point contact, making them prone to stress concentration and poorly able to withstand multi-directional impacts. This makes floating rafts unsuitable for offshore aquaculture in areas with large waves.

[0004] Furthermore, the steel ropes or metal foil strips lack sufficient locking mechanisms, and the crossbars and longitudinal bars can slip relative to the steel ropes or metal foil strips, resulting in low overall structural reliability of the load-bearing frame, which is prone to disintegration under the impact of wind and waves.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a connector to solve at least one of the above problems. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] This utility model provides a connector and an aquaculture raft to solve the problems of stress concentration, loose connection, poor stability of the load-bearing frame, and insufficient wind and wave resistance of the aquaculture raft connector.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , wherein, Figure 4 is the cross-sectional view of the assembled connecting piece, horizontal rod and vertical rod shown in Figure 2 . The assembly process of the connecting piece 11 fixedly connecting the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17 is as follows:

[0041] The two limiters 119 are arranged perpendicular to each other in the main body 111, and the main body 111 and the limiter 119 are fixed as an integral structure through the cooperation of the second fastener 115 and the third fastener 117, and the gasket 116 is clamped between the main body 111 and the third fastener 117;

[0042] One end of the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17 respectively passes through the opening 118, and the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17 are partially accommodated in the accommodation space 114, and the center lines of the through hole 16, the through hole 1111 and the first mounting hole 1191 are aligned one by one to form the passage;

[0043] One end of the first fastener 113 passes through the passage and is locked by the third fastener 117, and the limiter 119, the main body 111, the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17 are locked and fixed, so that the relative position of the horizontal rod 15, the vertical rod 17 and the connecting piece 11 is fixed, and the connecting piece 11 realizes the fixed connection of the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17.

[0044] Under the locking and fixing action of the first fastener 113, even if there is a violent impact of wind and wave, the horizontal rod 15 and the vertical rod 17 cannot exit the connecting piece 11 along the original path from the opening 118, and the connection is not easy to loosen.

[0045] Due to the main body 111, for the large area of the stressed frame 14, the connecting piece 11 provides a connection relationship close to surface contact, can fully disperse stress, and the connecting piece 11 is superior to the traditional connecting piece in the ability to resist multi-directional impact force, and is more suitable for offshore aquaculture in a sea area with large waves.

[0046] In summary, compared with the connecting piece in the related structure, the connecting piece provided by the embodiment of the present application is not prone to stress concentration and connection loosening, and the stressed frame structure formed by the combination of the connecting piece, the horizontal rod and the vertical rod has higher stability and better wind and wave resistance.

[0047] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
