Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trawl net technology, specifically relating to a recreational trawl net that cleans the seabed with low wear. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, recreational fishing has received increasing attention and support, and many recreational facilities have been developed. Based on this, new requirements have been put forward for improving recreational fishing gear, such as trawls.

[0003] Experimental studies have revealed that during trawl operations, fish, hard debris, and shellfish from the seabed simultaneously enter the net. While this process can clean up seabed debris at the same time, fish experience stress responses. The fish and other catches, such as hard debris or shellfish, are squeezed, collide, and experience exhaustion and oxygen depletion within the net, leading to injury to the caught fish and death of juveniles. Furthermore, the compression of fish bodies causes damage to their skin. Currently, few solutions can address these problems by modifying the nets themselves.

[0004] In addition, considering that the mesh, especially the net bag, is subjected to water pressure and other forces during operation, the mesh is prone to closing, which makes the fish caught squeezed together more severely, thus leading to a decline in the quality of the catch. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a low-wear recreational trawl net that cleans the seabed, thus solving the technical problem of fish being easily damaged by collisions with hard objects or shellfish during fishing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A low-abrasion recreational trawl for cleaning the seabed includes hard object collection units and fish collection units arranged from bottom to top. The hard object collection units and fish collection units are connected by a connecting component.

[0008] The hard object collection unit includes a hard object collection net, a net opening support, and multiple barrier strips. The net opening support is fixed at the net opening of the hard object collection net. The barrier strips are arranged sequentially at intervals at the net opening of the hard object collection net to form a barrier curtain.

[0009] Furthermore, the fish collection unit includes a fish collection net, dividers, and a attractant light. The attractant light is mounted on top of the fish collection net. The dividers are installed inside the fish collection net, enabling it to divide the net into multiple spaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the separator is made of a sponge board with a cross-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the tail end of the fish collection net is equipped with a support assembly. The support assembly includes two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped rigid frames. The two arc-shaped rigid frames are fixed to a cross-shaped sponge plate and connected to each other by an elastic rope.

[0012] Furthermore, the trapping lamp includes a lampshade and a lamp body disposed within the lampshade. The outer surface of the lampshade has a streamlined structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the lamp is made of LED light.

[0014] Furthermore, the connection component includes multiple connection rings. The connection rings are arranged in a matrix.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model designs an independent fish collection net and a hard object collection net, and connects the two collection nets with a connecting component. This allows the fish to be physically separated from the hard objects on the seabed during the dragging process of the two collection nets, reducing physiological damage to the fish. In addition, the hard object collection net can achieve a certain degree of cleaning of the seabed.

[0017] 2. This utility model achieves the effect of separating and collecting fish from hard debris by installing a trapping light on a fish collection net. Simultaneously, the streamlined design of the lampshade effectively reduces water resistance, prevents water impact from damaging the lamp, allows for multiple uses, and lowers its purchase cost.

[0018] 3. This utility model incorporates cross-shaped sponge boards inside the fish collection net, which separate the captured fish while also providing cushioning. Two perpendicular sponge boards create four compartments, preventing the catch from being squeezed together in the trawl net, reducing contact and friction between the fish and minimizing surface damage, thus preserving their quality and commercial value.

[0019] 4. This utility model provides support components at the tail end of the fish collection net. The support components are connected by an arc-shaped rigid frame and an elastic rope to support the tail end of the fish collection net. This allows the fish collection net to remain expanded during trawling operations, thereby ensuring that the fish have more room to move, reducing squeezing between fish, maintaining the vitality of the fish, and improving the quality of the catch.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outer side", "upper side", "inner side", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the 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] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a low-wear recreational trawl net for cleaning the seabed includes a hard object collection unit 2 and a fish collection unit 1 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The hard object collection unit 2 and the fish collection unit 1 are connected by a connecting component 3, so that when the fish collection unit 1 is towed, the hard object collection unit 2 can be moved synchronously.

[0027] The hard object collection unit 2 can collect hard objects such as shellfish during the sweeping process, while the fish collection unit 1 can attract and collect fish during the sweeping process, thereby separating the fish from the hard objects and avoiding friction or collision with the captured fish during the collection process, which could cause physiological harm to the fish.

[0028] The specific structure is as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the fish collection unit 1 includes a fish collection net 1-1, a divider 1-2, and a attractant light 1-3. The attractant light 1-3 is installed on top of the fish collection net 1-1 and emits light during the dragging of the net, attracting fish to swim automatically into the net. The divider 1-2 is installed inside the net to divide it into multiple spaces, effectively preventing further friction between fish caught in adjacent spaces.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the dividers 1-2 are made of sponge boards in a cross shape. The cross-shaped sponge boards support the internal space of the fish collection net 1-1, making it into four divided units, while also providing a cushioning effect for the captured fish.

[0030] Furthermore, the top edge of the opening of the fish collection net 1-1 is provided with multiple floats arranged at intervals, and the bottom edge of the opening is provided with multiple sinkers arranged at intervals. Through the cooperation of the sinkers and floats, the opening of the fish collection net 1-1 remains open during the towing process, thereby ensuring the entry of fish.

[0031] Furthermore, the tail end of the fish collection net 1-1 is provided with a support component 4, which is used to support the tail end during the dragging process of the fish collection net 1-1, to prevent the tail end of the fish collection net 1-1 from shrinking due to the impact of the water flow, effectively reducing the mutual compression between fish, maintaining the vitality of the fish, and thus improving the quality of the caught fish.

[0032] In this embodiment, the support component 4 includes two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped rigid frames. The two arc-shaped rigid frames are fixed to the cross-shaped sponge board and connected to each other by an elastic rope, so that the two arc-shaped rigid frames can be installed on sponge boards of different sizes.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the trapping lamp 1-3 includes a lamp cover 5 and a lamp body 6 disposed inside the lamp cover 5. The outer surface of the lamp cover 5 has a streamlined structure, which reduces the resistance generated by the water body during the dragging of the fish collection net 1-1, effectively preventing damage to the trapping lamp 1-3 caused by the impact of the water body. Furthermore, the lamp body 6 uses an LED light.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the hard object collection unit 2 includes a hard object collection net 2-1, a net opening support, and multiple barrier strips 2-2. The net opening support is made of steel rings, which are fixed to the opening of the hard object collection net 2-1. The steel rings provide support to the opening of the hard object collection net 2-1, keeping it always open. The barrier strips 2-2 are arranged at intervals at the opening of the hard object collection net 2-1, forming a barrier curtain to prevent fish from entering. When the hard object collection net 2-1 is being dragged, fish will be blocked by the barrier curtain and swim towards the fish collection net 1-1 above, which is equipped with a attractant light 1-3. When encountering hard objects, they will enter through the gap between adjacent barrier strips 2-2 and be collected by the hard object collection net 2-1.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component 3 includes multiple connecting rings. The connecting rings are arranged in a matrix to form a connection and fix the relative positions between the fish collection net 1-1 and the hard object collection net 2-1.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
