Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically to a floating platform that combines aquaculture and solar power. Background Technology
[0002] The solar-aquaculture hybrid floating platform is an innovative technology that combines photovoltaic power generation with aquaculture. It typically uses high-efficiency solar panels, such as monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon panels, to convert solar energy into electricity. These photovoltaic modules are installed on the floating platform to form a photovoltaic power generation system. The system is generally constructed from buoys or floats made of corrosion-resistant materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing good buoyancy and stability to support the photovoltaic modules and related equipment. It is adaptable to different aquatic environments. Aquaculture facilities such as cages and enclosures are set up below or around the floating platform for the cultivation of fish, shrimp, and other aquatic products. The photovoltaic modules absorb solar energy and convert it into direct current (DC). An inverter then converts the DC to alternating current (AC), which can be directly connected to the power grid or used for local electricity demand. In the aquaculture area below the floating platform, fish and shrimp fry are released for aquaculture. The natural ecological environment of the water body and artificial feeding methods are used to achieve the growth and reproduction of aquatic products. The solar-aquaculture hybrid floating platform improves resource utilization, realizing the dual functions of power generation above water and aquaculture below, making full use of aquatic resources and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of land and water resources.
[0003] Existing solar-aquaculture hybrid floating platforms can only float on the water surface. When observing the fish and shrimp in the middle of the aquaculture cages, aquaculture workers cannot get close. They can only walk around the aquaculture cages, which makes it inconvenient for them to check the growth of the fish and shrimp in the middle of the cages. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solar-aquaculture hybrid floating platform to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a floating platform for fish farming and solar power integration, including a fish farming cage 1, a photovoltaic panel 2 and a frame 3. The fish farming cage 1 is installed below the frame 3. The fish farming cage 1 is used to provide a space for the fish or shrimp to be farmed, and at the same time, it confines the fish or shrimp inside.
[0023] The frame 3 is equipped with a pontoon 4 on its exterior. Multiple sets of support seats 22 are connected to the exterior of the frame 3 and are arranged at equal intervals. The support seats 22 provide support for the pontoon 4 and maintain its stability. The pontoon 4 transmits buoyancy to the frame 3 through the support seats 22. The pontoon 4 is installed inside the support seats 22. The pontoon 4 is made of polyethylene material, which has good buoyancy and corrosion resistance, allowing the pontoon 4 to be in contact with water for a long time and increasing its service life. The pontoon 4 provides buoyancy for the fishing-solar hybrid floating platform.
[0024] A support frame 5 is installed on top of the frame 3, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is installed on top of the support frame 5. The support frame 5 provides stable support for the photovoltaic panel 2 and maintains the stability of the photovoltaic panel 2.
[0025] The upper surface of the frame 3 is connected to a guide rail 6, and a wheel frame 7 is set above the guide rail 6. Multiple rollers 8 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the wheel frame 7, and the multiple rollers 8 are arranged at equal distances. The outer surfaces of the multiple rollers 8 are in contact with the outer surfaces of the guide rail 6. There are two guide rails 6, and the two guide rails 6 are symmetrical. The guide rails 6 provide support and guidance for the rollers 8, and maintain the stability of the rollers 8 when they move. There are two guide rails 6, and correspondingly, there are two wheel frames 7, two toothed plates 20, two rollers 8, and two first gears 12.
[0026] A connecting plate 9 is connected to the upper surface of the wheel frame 7, forming a support area above the aquaculture cage 1 through the connecting plate 9. The connecting plate 9 is used to support the aquaculture personnel.
[0027] The lower surface of the connecting plate 9 is connected to an ear seat 10, and the inner wall of the ear seat 10 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 11. The end of the rotating shaft 11 is connected to a first gear 12. There are multiple sets of ear seats 10, and each set of ear seats 10 is located outside the first gear 12 and the second gear 13 respectively. The ear seats 10 provide support for the rotating shaft 11 and maintain the stability of the rotating shaft 11 during rotation.
[0028] A second gear 13 is connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 11. A support sleeve 14 is connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 9. A support shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 14. A third gear 16 is connected to the outer surface of the support shaft 15. A toothed belt 17 is sleeved on the outside of the second gear 13 and the third gear 16, and the second gear 13 and the third gear 16 are connected by transmission through the toothed belt 17. A crank handle 18 is installed at one end of the support shaft 15 outside the support sleeve 14. There are two crank handles 18, and the two crank handles 18 are installed in opposite directions. The two crank handles 18 facilitate the rotation of the support shaft 15. When the support shaft 15 rotates, it drives the third gear 16 to rotate at the same time. The rotation of the third gear 16 transmits power to the second gear 13 through the toothed belt 17. The second gear 13 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate at the same time. After the rotating shaft 11 rotates, it drives the first gear 12 to rotate. The first gear 12 drives the connecting plate 9 to move its position through the blocking of the toothed plate 20. The movement of the connecting plate 9 makes it easier for the aquaculture personnel to check different areas of the aquaculture cage 1.
[0029] The inner wall of the frame 3 is connected to a bracket 19, and a toothed plate 20 is installed above the bracket 19. The toothed plate 20 is meshed with the first gear 12 and provides resistance to the first gear 12 through the toothed plate 20. After receiving the resistance from the toothed plate 20, the first gear 12 pushes the connecting plate 9 to move its position.
[0030] Two guardrails 21 are connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 9, and the two guardrails 21 are symmetrical to each other. The guardrails 21 provide safety protection for the farmers and improve the safety of the farmers when they move on the connecting plate 9.
[0031] Working principle: When the aquaculture personnel need to inspect the area inside the net cage, they first turn the support shaft 15 by cranking the handle 18. The rotation of the support shaft 15 simultaneously drives the third gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed belt 17 to rotate. The toothed belt 17 transmits power to the second gear 13, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotating shaft then drives the first gear 12 to rotate. The first gear 12, through the obstruction of the toothed plate 20, moves the connecting plate 9 to a new position. Simultaneously, the movement of the connecting plate 9 moves the aquaculture personnel to the area that needs to be inspected.
