Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish farming technology, specifically to a net cage support that can float on the sea surface. Background Technology

[0002] A net cage is a fish farming method that uses cages made of netting placed in a designated body of water. Net cages are typically set up in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs with a certain water flow, clean water quality, and high dissolved oxygen levels. The waters used for net cage fish farming are mostly reservoirs, lakes, or rivers with very slow currents. Reservoirs are generally divided into three sections: upstream, middle reaches, and downstream, with some differences in water depth; the downstream section is the deepest, and the upstream section is the shallowest.

[0003] Some existing cages have four supports on top, which are made of heavy iron. After installation, the cages are difficult to transport or move due to the presence of these four heavy supports, resulting in poor flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a floating support for a net cage, which solves the problem that some net cages have four supports on the top. These four supports are made of heavy iron, and after the net cage is installed, it is difficult to move the net cage due to the presence of the four heavy supports, resulting in poor flexibility of the net cage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a net cage support that can float on the sea surface includes a support, the bottom end of which is connected to the net cage, and a floating unit is provided on the top of the support;

[0006] The buoyancy unit includes a floating water tank, a connecting pipe, a control component, and an inflation component. The bottom of the floating water tank is fixedly connected to the top of the support column, the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the floating water tank, and the control component and the inflation component are connected to the connecting pipe.

[0007] The control components include a water pump, a water supply pipe, and a drain pipe. The water pump is located above the net cage, one end of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the water pump, and one end of the drain pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the floating tank.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the control component further includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, wherein the inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water pump, and the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inlet pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the other end of the drain pipe is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the inflation assembly includes an air pump and an air supply pipe. The air pump is positioned above the water pump, and one end of the air supply pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the air pump, while the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the buoyancy unit further includes a connecting rod, which is fixedly connected to the side of the floating tank.

[0013] This utility model discloses a floating support for a net cage, which has the following advantages: By setting an adjustable floating tank at the top of the support, when the net cage needs to be moved and transported, an air pump inflates the floating tank, causing the water in the floating tank to be discharged from the outlet pipe into the drain pipe. This reduces the weight of the floating tank, causing it to float upwards, which in turn moves the support upwards, and consequently, the net cage upwards. Since the water pressure in shallow water is lower than that in deep water, it facilitates the transportation and movement of the net cage, improving its flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] This utility model discloses a cage support that can float on the sea surface.

[0022] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the structure includes a support column 2, the bottom of which is connected to the net cage 1. A floating unit 3 is provided on the top of the support column 2. The floating unit 3 includes a floating water tank 31, a connecting pipe 32, a control component 33, and an inflation component 34. The bottom of the floating water tank 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 2, the connecting pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating water tank 31, and the control component 33 and the inflation component 34 are connected to the connecting pipe 32.

[0023] Specifically disclosed, the control component 33 includes a water pump 331, a water supply pipe 332, and a drain pipe 334. The water pump 331 is positioned above the net cage 1. One end of the water supply pipe 332 is fixedly connected to the water pump 331, and the other end of the water supply pipe 332 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 32. One end of the drain pipe 334 is fixedly connected to one side of the floating tank 31. When the water pump 331 is started, water can flow from the inlet pipe 333 through the water pump 331 into the water supply pipe 332 and then into the floating tank 31. This increases the weight of the floating tank 31, allowing it to move downwards. This, in turn, moves the support column 2 downwards, which in turn moves the net cage 1 downwards, making the net cage 1 more stable.

[0024] Furthermore, the control component 33 also includes an inlet pipe 333 and an outlet pipe 335. The inlet pipe 333 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water pump 331, the outlet pipe 335 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inlet pipe 333, and the other end of the drain pipe 334 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 335.

[0025] A water inlet hole is provided on the side wall of the water inlet pipe 333;

[0026] Furthermore, the inflation assembly 34 includes an air pump 341 and an air supply pipe 342. The air pump 341 is positioned above the water pump 331. One end of the air supply pipe 342 is fixedly connected to the side of the air pump 341, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting pipe 32. By inflating the floating tank 31 with air from the air pump 341, the air pressure inside the floating tank 31 increases, allowing the water inside the floating tank 31 to be discharged from the outlet pipe 334, thus reducing the weight of the floating tank 31 and causing it to float upwards. This, in turn, moves the support column 2 upwards, thereby moving the net cage 1 upwards. Since the water pressure in shallow water is lower than that in deep water, it is easier to transport and move the net cage 1, improving its flexibility.

[0027] Furthermore, the buoyancy unit 3 also includes a connecting rod 35, which is fixedly connected to the side of the floating water tank 31. By setting multiple connecting rods 35, multiple floating water tanks 31 are connected into a whole, making the whole more stable.

[0028] Working principle: When the net cage 1 needs to be transported or moved, the air pump 341 is started. Air enters the connecting pipe 32 along the air supply pipe 342 and then enters the floating water tank 31. The air pressure in the floating water tank 31 increases, causing the water in the floating water tank 31 to be discharged through the outlet pipe 334 into the drain pipe 335. This reduces the weight of the floating water tank 31, causing it to float upwards. This drives the support column 2 to move upwards, which in turn moves the net cage 1 upwards, making the transportation of the net cage 1 more convenient.

[0029] When it is necessary to sink the net cage 1, the water pump 331 is started. Water enters the floating water tank 31 through the water inlet pipe 333, the water pump 331, and the water delivery pipe 332. This increases the weight of the floating water tank 31, causing it to move downwards. This in turn moves the support column 2 downwards, which in turn moves the net cage 1 downwards, making the net cage 1 more stable.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
