Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a device suitable for cleaning attachments to deep-sea aquaculture cages. Background Technology

[0002] In deep-sea fish farming, the attachment of marine organisms reduces the mesh area of ​​aquaculture cages. Algae, mollusks, and hydroids can cover up to 100% of the mesh, causing cage deformation and shrinkage. This reduces water and nutrient exchange, dissolved oxygen diffusion, and waste removal between the cage and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, organism attachment promotes the growth of bacteria and pathogens, harming fish health. Oysters, mussels, barnacles, and other organisms with hard chitinous shells, when attached to the netting for extended periods, shorten the netting's lifespan and increase the risk of fish escaping due to mesh breakage. Therefore, cleaning aquaculture cages is a crucial aspect of marine aquaculture.

[0003] The utility model patent with application number 202120606916.7 discloses a deep-sea cage floating debris cleaning device, which cleans by combining a mechanical cleaning mechanism and an ultrasonic cleaning mechanism. The applicant found that this type of cleaning mechanism has the following problems: it has a complex structure, many components such as motors, a high failure rate in seawater environment, requires frequent maintenance, is difficult to maintain, is not suitable for offshore aquaculture, and has poor practicality; moreover, the ultrasonic mechanism is located above the outer side of the platform, and during the floating process when the machine is stopped, the ultrasonic equipment is easily collided with and attached to the floating debris, resulting in poor performance of the ultrasonic equipment.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this utility model that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] 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 unit; 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. However, specifying a direct connection indicates that the two main bodies at the connection point are not connected by an intermediate structure, but are simply connected to form a whole through a connecting structure. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "below" the second feature may be in direct contact with the first and second features, or indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0027] In this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a device suitable for cleaning attachments to deep-sea aquaculture cages is provided, including a perforated protective frame with a floating part 1 and an ultrasonic generator 2 disposed inside the protective frame; the cleaning device also includes an anchor connected to the protective frame, the anchor including a fixed anchor 301 and a connector 302 connecting the fixed anchor 301 and the protective frame; the protective frame is a non-metallic protective frame.

[0028] When in use, the cleaning equipment of this utility model can use the ultrasonic generator 2 to intermittently emit ultrasonic waves in all directions, which can radiate a range with a diameter of 20 meters. This can damage the epidermal cells of larvae of organisms that are easy to attach to in the local water body of the aquaculture area, so as to prevent marine organisms from attaching to the net cages and achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0029] The cleaning device of this invention protects the ultrasonic generator 2 by placing it inside the protective frame, preventing floating debris from colliding with and adhering to the ultrasonic generator 2, thereby improving the structural stability of the ultrasonic generator 2. Furthermore, the cleaning device of this invention has a simple structure, using only a non-metallic protective frame and the ultrasonic generator 2. Compared to existing structures, it is simpler, less prone to failure, and more stable in use, making it more suitable for deep-sea aquaculture.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the protective frame includes a plurality of connecting pipes 4, each connecting pipe 4 forming the frame edge of the protective frame. The protective frame also includes a PET mesh 5 connected to the connecting pipes 4. As shown in the figure, the PET mesh 5 can be fixed to the protective frame by binding, thereby reducing the weight of the entire protective frame and thus lowering the buoyancy requirement for the floating part 1.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the protective frame is square, and the floating part 1 includes floating blocks respectively disposed at the four corners of the top of the protective frame. As shown in the figure, this allows the floating blocks to be installed at the four corners of the protective frame, and the floating blocks can uniformly provide upward buoyancy to the protective frame, making the protective frame relatively stable in seawater.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the ultrasonic generator 2 is connected to the four corners of the top of the protective frame via connecting ropes 10.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the ultrasonic generator 2 is connected to the four corners of the top of the protective frame by the connecting rope 10, which can easily fix the ultrasonic generator 2. The tightness of the connecting rope 10 can also be adjusted so that the ultrasonic generator 2 can be submerged below the liquid surface at the top of the protective frame (as shown in the figure). This can prevent the ultrasonic generator 2 from being below the seawater surface when the seawater wave causes the protective frame to move up and down.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the cleaning device further includes a photovoltaic panel connected to the top of the protective frame. As shown in the figure, by setting up the photovoltaic panel, photovoltaic power generation can be used to supply power to the ultrasonic generator 2, and the photovoltaic panel can also be used to provide some protection to the protective frame, thereby reducing the aging effects of sunlight and wind on the protective frame, connecting rope 10, and float.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the photovoltaic panel includes two separate panels 6, whose tops are connected, and both panels 6 extend outwards and downwards respectively to connect with the protective frame. As shown in the figure, the photovoltaic panel is herringbone-shaped, which allows at least one photovoltaic panel to be in a position conducive to receiving sunlight when the protective frame floats and turns, thereby improving power generation efficiency. Furthermore, the herringbone shape of the photovoltaic panel provides a larger surface area, making it easier to position above the seawater surface, further improving the efficiency of sunlight reception.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the partition 6 includes a photovoltaic panel body 601 and a mounting frame 602 for fixing the photovoltaic panel body 601. The mounting frame 602 is connected to the top of the protective frame via a clamp 7. As shown in the figure, the connecting pipe 4 at the top of the protective frame passes through the inside of the clamp 7, and the clamp 7 is locked in place with screws, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the photovoltaic panel. Regarding the connection between the clamp 7 and the mounting frame 602, in the illustrated embodiment, the clamp 7 is fixed to the mounting frame 602 with screws. In an optional embodiment, the clamp 7 can also be integrally connected to the mounting frame 602, or the clamp 7 can be welded to the mounting frame 602.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the cleaning device further includes a fixing rod 8, with supporting steps on both sides of the fixing rod 8 for the upper end of the photovoltaic panel to overlap, and a fixing screw 9 installed at the bottom of the fixing rod 8, the fixing screw 9 connecting the fixing rod 8 and the photovoltaic panel.

[0038] As shown in the figure, the tops of the two photovoltaic panels are connected and fixed by connecting rods. During assembly, the tops of the two photovoltaic panels can be fixed first by fixing pipes, and then the two connecting pipes 4 at the top of the protective frame can be passed through the clamps 7 at the bottom of the photovoltaic panels to complete the installation and fixing of the photovoltaic panels.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the ends of adjacent connecting pipes 4 are connected by a tee connector, and the protective frame can be assembled after the clamp 7 is connected to the corresponding connecting pipe 4, so as to facilitate assembly.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the floating part is fixed to the connecting rope 10. As shown in the figure, the connecting rope 10 passes through the floating part, and limiting blocks are fixed to the connecting rope 10 at both ends of the floating part. This allows the floating part to be fixed while the ultrasonic generator 2 is connected to the fixed frame. Moreover, by fixing the floating part to the connecting rope 10, even if the connecting rope 10 and the protective frame become disengaged, the floating part can still directly provide buoyancy to the ultrasonic generator 2, thus maintaining buoyancy support for the ultrasonic generator 2.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the ultrasonic generator 2 is internally integrated with a storage battery 11, which is connected to the photovoltaic panel. As shown in the figure, this allows the ultrasonic generator 2 to be encapsulated within the storage battery 11. The casing of the ultrasonic generator 2 simultaneously provides encapsulation and protection for both the electronic components of the ultrasonic generator 2 and the battery.

[0042] It should be noted that the improvement of this utility model lies in the overall assembly structure of the cleaning equipment. The specific structure of the ultrasonic generator 2 is not limited or modified; those skilled in the art can flexibly choose existing ultrasonic generators 2 containing a battery 11 during implementation. Regarding the height of the floating part 1, a floating part structure is preferred. For the fixing anchor 301 and the connector 302, the fixing anchor 301 is preferably an existing anchor pile, and the connector 302 can be connected by ropes. For the photovoltaic panel body 601 and the mounting frame 602, an existing photovoltaic panel with a mounting frame 602 is preferred.
