Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture cage structures, specifically to a main truss structure for an aquaculture cage. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore aquaculture platforms typically use monolithic net cages for aquaculture without modular design. When there are many types of seafood, it is impossible to divide the seafood into sections for aquaculture. Furthermore, most existing net cages cannot be lifted. When the netting on the cage has a lot of residual marine organisms underwater or when the netting is torn, divers usually need to go underwater to clean and repair the netting, making the cleaning and repair of the netting difficult and labor-intensive. To address the aforementioned issues, publication number 202411229821.2 discloses a modular offshore aquaculture platform, comprising a platform body, aquaculture tanks, a guiding mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The platform body includes a truss assembly forming multiple accommodating spaces. The number of aquaculture tanks corresponds to the number of accommodating spaces, and the aquaculture tanks can move along a first direction to be housed within or extend relative to the accommodating spaces. The guiding mechanism is connected to the truss assembly and the aquaculture tanks, and is used to guide and limit the aquaculture tanks along the first direction. The locking mechanism is connected to the truss assembly and the aquaculture tanks, and is used to lock and limit the aquaculture tanks when they extend beyond the accommodating spaces. The first direction is the height direction of the platform body. This modular offshore aquaculture platform allows the aquaculture tanks to be lifted above the water surface and fixed before the netting is cleaned and repaired, thus reducing the difficulty of cleaning and repairing the netting. However, this modular offshore aquaculture platform still has the following problems: 1. Its truss components have poor strength and poor resistance to external impacts, and there is no reinforcing structure. External impacts can cause the truss components to break, which can lead to deformation of the aquaculture tanks inside the truss, affecting the service life and increasing maintenance costs; 2. The existing aquaculture platform uses a strip-shaped caisson structure. When adjusting, the adjustment efficiency is slow, and when a fault occurs, the entire platform needs to be replaced, increasing maintenance costs and steps. Utility Model Content

The support reinforcement frame two includes two right-angle frames, which are arranged between the side of the longitudinal reinforcement truss and the side of the transverse truss.

[0009] As a further improvement, a gap is provided between the longitudinal truss and the longitudinal reinforcing truss, and between the longitudinal reinforcing truss and the longitudinal reinforcing truss, and the gap is used for the placement of the cage.

[0010] As a further improvement, a reinforcing support beam is provided between the first pontoon and the second pontoon; the edge pontoon and the first pontoon are provided with multiple reinforcing ribs.

[0025] The supporting reinforcement structure 6 includes multiple longitudinal reinforcing trusses 60, which are respectively arranged between two pontoons 51.

The second supporting reinforcement frame 611 includes two right-angle frames, which are arranged between the side of the longitudinal reinforcing truss 60 and the side of the transverse truss. The supporting reinforcement frames 61 are used to form multiple supporting structures, thereby greatly improving the overall stability of the base structure 2 and thus improving the overall impact resistance and effectiveness of the main structure 1 of the aquaculture cage truss.

[0026] A spacing 7 is provided between the longitudinal truss 20 and the longitudinal reinforcing truss 60, and between the longitudinal reinforcing truss 60 and the longitudinal reinforcing truss 60, and the spacing 7 is used for the placement of the cage.

Each of the edge float boxes 50 and 51 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which are used to increase the strength of the edge float boxes 50 and 51, thereby improving the impact resistance and service life of the main structure 1 of the aquaculture cage truss.
