Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a floating ecological aquaculture rack. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea open aquaculture is a new type of marine ranching, conducted in deep waters far from the shore. Facilities are typically located more than 3 nautical miles offshore at depths of 30 to 40 meters, in unprotected open water. This method relies on remote control equipment and land-sea supply systems to achieve industrialized, large-scale marine aquaculture production while ensuring no negative impact on the ecological environment. Therefore, suspended aquaculture cages are commonly used. The cage structure is anchored by chains and floats in the seawater. However, existing suspended aquaculture cages have the following drawbacks: 1. The cage's fixed range and movement range are too small, hindering the discharge of aquaculture waste and water exchange; 2. Some cages float on the water surface, posing a risk of loss due to birds catching the aquatic organisms. To address this, existing technologies offer other solutions, such as aquaculture platforms. For example, patent WO2023134270A1 discloses a cage aquaculture platform that comprehensively utilizes marine new energy sources. This platform reduces the economic costs of developing and utilizing marine new energy devices and the cage aquaculture industry; it provides a feasible solution for achieving carbon neutrality and providing clean, low-carbon solutions for marine structures; it improves the reliability and survivability of the device; and it can improve energy conversion efficiency. However, this solution still has room for improvement in terms of how to prevent losses of aquatic organisms. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating ecological aquaculture rack that expands the mobility of aquaculture equipment, increases the amount of aquaculture, and prevents the loss of aquaculture products.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution: a floating ecological aquaculture frame, including a first aquaculture component, the first aquaculture component having a first aquaculture frame, a first float connected to the upper end of the first aquaculture frame via a second connecting rope, and a second float connected to the side of the first aquaculture frame via a second connecting rope. The second float is slidably connected to an anchor rope via the second connecting rope, and anchor piles are provided at both ends of the anchor rope. This utility model uses the first float to suspend the aquaculture equipment below the water surface, thus solving the problem of birds preying on the aquaculture organisms. Furthermore, this method effectively reduces the impact of water waves on the aquaculture equipment, decreasing the probability of damage from wave impacts. The method of setting the second float to the side of the first aquaculture component and slidably connecting it to the anchor rope expands the movement range of the first aquaculture component. When the first aquaculture component is subjected to a large water flow impact, the impact will pull the second connecting rope straight, causing it to slide relative to the anchor rope under certain force. This method can potentially change the angle of the water flow impacting the first aquaculture component, thus avoiding continuous impact and providing a certain buffering effect.

[0005] According to one embodiment of this utility model, first mounting rods are spaced apart at the upper end of the first aquaculture frame, and aquaculture cages are connected to the first mounting rods. The first mounting rods are used to pre-divide the layout space of the aquaculture cages, thus optimizing the aquaculture space and reducing collisions between the cages. The aquaculture cages can be used to cultivate aquatic organisms such as oysters. Furthermore, the first mounting rods enhance the overall strength of the first aquaculture frame.

[0006] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a first loop is provided on the second connecting rope connecting the second float and the anchor rope. One end of the first loop is connected to the second float via the second connecting rope, and the other end is connected to the anchor rope via the second connecting rope. The first loop reduces the probability of the second connecting rope used to connect the second float and the anchor rope becoming twisted and knotted. Because the first loop has a certain weight, it can relatively straighten the second connecting rope in the water.

[0007] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a locator is connected to the second float via a connecting rope. By setting the locator, the position information of the aquaculture equipment in the water is provided to avoid collisions between the boat and the aquaculture equipment in the water, and it is also convenient for quick positioning during subsequent maintenance and harvesting of the aquaculture equipment.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a second aquaculture component is connected to one side of the first aquaculture component via a first connecting rope to form an extended aquaculture mode. Multiple aquaculture components can be combined via the first connecting rope to aquaculture different aquatic products. Meanwhile, a first float is connected to the top of the second aquaculture component to ensure that it is below the water surface.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the second aquaculture component includes a second aquaculture frame, on which at least two second mounting rods are arranged in a circular pattern. Both the first and second aquaculture frames are constructed from two quadrangular prism frames joined with steel pipes, forming a stable frame structure. The use of multiple second mounting rods provides connection space for the mussel aquaculture ropes.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a columnar connector is slidably connected to the anchor rope. A first through hole perpendicular to the connector's axis is provided on its side, allowing the anchor rope to pass through. The connector is connected to the second float via a second connecting rope. This slidable connection between the connector and the anchor rope reduces frictional loss from direct sliding contact and prevents rope breakage due to excessive wear. Furthermore, the slidable connection structure of the connector helps reduce excessive impact on the aquaculture components.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connector has a built-in cavity that communicates with the first through hole. The cavity contains a ball bearing, which reduces friction by using a rolling contact method and also helps to clean the surface of the anchor rope.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, knots are provided at intervals on the anchor rope to control the sliding range of the connector. In addition, after the knots are provided, multiple second connecting ropes can be connected to the anchor rope in two sections. These second connecting ropes are respectively connected to the aquaculture components, thereby increasing the number of anchored aquaculture components.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of anchor piles is at least two, and adjacent anchor piles are connected by anchor ropes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a first float to suspend the aquaculture equipment below the water surface, which can solve the problem of birds preying on the aquaculture organisms. In addition, this method reduces the impact of water waves on the aquaculture equipment and reduces the probability of damage caused by wave impact. The method of setting a second float on the side of the first aquaculture component and slidingly connecting it with the anchor rope can expand the movement range of the first aquaculture component.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The concepts involved in this application will first be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following descriptions of various concepts are only for the purpose of making the content of this application easier to understand and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a floating ecological aquaculture frame, including a first aquaculture component 10, the first aquaculture component 10 having a first aquaculture frame 11, the upper end of the first aquaculture frame 11 being connected to a first float 30 via a second connecting rope 32, the side of the first aquaculture frame 11 being connected to a second float 33 via a second connecting rope 32, the second float 33 being slidably connected to an anchor rope 41 via the second connecting rope 32, and both ends of the anchor rope 41 being provided with anchor piles 40. This invention uses a first float 30 to suspend the aquaculture equipment below the water surface, thus solving the problem of birds preying on the farmed organisms. This also reduces the impact of water waves on the aquaculture equipment, decreasing the probability of damage from wave impacts. The second float 33, located to the side of the first aquaculture component 10 and slidably connected to the anchor rope 41, expands the movement range of the first aquaculture component 10. When the first aquaculture component 10 is subjected to a large water flow impact, the impact will pull the second connecting rope 32, causing it to straighten. Under certain force, this can cause it to slide relative to the anchor rope 41. This method can potentially change the angle at which the water flow impacts the first aquaculture component 10, thus avoiding continuous impact and providing a certain buffering effect.

[0029] The upper end of the first aquaculture frame 11 is provided with first mounting rods 13 spaced apart, and aquaculture cages 12 are connected to the first mounting rods 13. The first mounting rods 13 are used to pre-divide the layout space of the aquaculture cages 12, thereby optimizing the aquaculture space and reducing collisions between the aquaculture cages 12. The aquaculture cages 12 can be used to cultivate aquatic organisms, such as oysters. In addition, the first mounting rods 13 can strengthen the overall strength of the first aquaculture frame 11.

[0030] A first loop 34 is provided on the second connecting rope 32 that connects the second float 33 to the anchor rope 41. One end of the first loop 34 is connected to the second float 33 via the second connecting rope 32, and the other end is connected to the anchor rope 41 via the second connecting rope 32. The first loop 34 reduces the probability of the second connecting rope 32 used to connect the second float 33 and the anchor rope 41 becoming twisted and knotted. Because the first loop 34 has a certain weight, it can relatively straighten the second connecting rope 32 in the water.

[0031] The second float 33 is connected to a locator 70 by a connecting rope. The locator 70 provides the location information of the aquaculture equipment in the water to avoid collisions between the vessel and the aquaculture equipment, and also facilitates rapid positioning for subsequent maintenance and harvesting of the aquaculture equipment.

[0032] The first aquaculture component 10 is connected to one side by the first connecting rope 31 to form an extended aquaculture mode. Multiple aquaculture components can be combined to aquaculture different aquatic products through the first connecting rope 31. At the same time, the second aquaculture component 20 is connected to the top of the first float 30 to ensure that it is below the water surface.

[0033] The second aquaculture component 20 includes a second aquaculture frame 21, on which at least two second mounting rods 22 are arranged in a circular pattern. Both the first aquaculture frame 11 and the second aquaculture frame 21 are constructed from two quadrangular prism frames joined with steel pipes, forming a stable frame structure. The arrangement of multiple second mounting rods 22 provides connection space for the mussel aquaculture ropes.

[0034] The main frame dimensions of the first breeding component 10 and the second breeding component 20 can be 6 m × 4 m × 4 m (edge ​​length × base length), with a total breeding volume of 96 m³. The steel pipe of the breeding frame has a diameter of 159 mm, a thickness of 8 mm, is hollow and sealed, and weighs 179 kg per pipe. Of course, the dimensions and materials can be adjusted according to different breeding organisms, and are not limited to the above-mentioned breeding frame dimensions.

[0035] A columnar connector 50 is slidably connected to the anchor rope 41. The connector 50 has a first through hole 51 perpendicular to its axis on its side, through which the anchor rope 41 can pass. The connector 50 is connected to the second float 33 via a second connecting rope 32. This sliding connection between the connector 50 and the anchor rope 41 reduces frictional loss from direct sliding contact and prevents excessive wear that could lead to rope breakage. Furthermore, the sliding connection structure of the connector 50 helps reduce excessive impact on the aquaculture components.

[0036] The connector 50 has a built-in cavity that communicates with the first through hole 51. The cavity contains a ball bearing 52, which reduces friction by using a rolling contact method and also helps to clean the surface of the anchor rope 41.

[0037] The anchor rope 41 is provided with knots at intervals to control the sliding range of the connector 50. In addition, after setting the knots, multiple second connecting ropes 32 can be connected to the anchor rope 41. These second connecting ropes 32 are connected to the aquaculture components respectively, increasing the number of anchored aquaculture components.

[0038] There are at least two anchor piles 40, and adjacent anchor piles 40 are connected by anchor ropes 41. In this embodiment, the rotation radius of the first and second aquaculture components is less than 50m, and the interval between the first and second aquaculture components is at least 100m.

[0039] Five sets of aquaculture modules can be installed at intervals on the anchor rope 41. Each set of aquaculture modules consists of a first aquaculture module 10 and a second aquaculture module 20, with a spacing of 100 meters between each set.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] See attached Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5As shown, the first aquaculture component 10 and the second aquaculture component 20 are respectively connected to counterweights 60 via connecting ropes. The counterweight 60 includes a counterweight column 61 connected to the connecting rope. At least one counterweight ring 62 is arranged around the outside of the counterweight column 61. A counterweight insert plate 63 is provided between the counterweight ring 62 and the counterweight column 61. The side of the counterweight column 61 is provided with a slot for inserting the counterweight insert plate 63. The inner side of the counterweight ring 62 is provided with a groove corresponding to the slot. The groove can be inserted into the counterweight insert plate 63. When the counterweight insert plate 63 is inserted into the slot and the groove, several rubber pads need to be placed according to the insertion gap to prevent the insertion from becoming loose.

[0042] By setting counterweights 60 below the first aquaculture component 10 and the second aquaculture component 20, the amplitude and frequency of swaying of the first aquaculture component 10 and the second aquaculture component 20 in the water are reduced. For example, when the first aquaculture component 10 is subjected to water, the presence of the bottom counterweights 60 has a certain downward pull effect on the center of gravity, thus weakening the swaying and floating of the first aquaculture component 10 caused by the water flow. In addition, the counterweights 60 can be adjusted according to the weight changes of the aquaculture organisms in the first aquaculture component 10 and the second aquaculture component 20. The counterweights 60 can be adjusted according to the weight changes of the aquaculture organisms in the first aquaculture component 10 and the second aquaculture component 20 by manually adding or removing the number of counterweight plates 63.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] See appendix Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that there are three anchor piles 40 in this embodiment. This allows for the installation of multiple sets of first aquaculture components 10 and second aquaculture components 20 at different angles with a low probability of mutual interference. Furthermore, when the anchor rope 41 at any angle is pulled, the anchor ropes 41 on the anchor piles 40 at other positions will shift accordingly, thereby adjusting and buffering the tension of the anchor rope 41. This also reduces the probability of organisms or deposits adhering to the anchor rope 41.
